When the two young apprentices from Baishou Hall and the other doctor on duty today arrived, the medical center was officially opened.
The other doctor on duty was much older than Zhao Mou. He looked to be in his forties and had a very serious expression. As soon as he sat there, he felt like he was not easy to deal with.
Patients such as Yu Xing and Siren who temporarily stay at the hospital usually recuperate in the backyard - under normal circumstances, only those who are injured and cannot walk will be allowed to live here.
They were both in front of the hall today. As soon as the doctor came in, his eyes fell on them.
“Doctor Zhao, are these two... your patients?”
When I spoke, it really felt stern. It didn't feel like I was asking a colleague, but more like I was asking a subordinate.
Zhao Mou smiled and said, "Yes, Doctor Zhou, you didn't come yesterday and didn't see them."
Physician Zhou looked at the two of them carefully and asked with a straight face, "What's wrong with you?"
The Siren frowned.
"I'm not your patient, why are you asking so many questions?" She pretended to be a free person, but she never intended to let a doctor restrict her actions. "What kind of critical look are you looking at? Why, Baishou Tang?" Do you still have to choose patients?”
She turned her head and said, "Doctor Zhao, is this person much more powerful than you?"
Doctor Zhou's eyes suddenly changed, and he was a little at a loss. He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Zhao Mou said for him: "Young lady, you misunderstood. Doctor Zhou's face is indeed easy to scare people, but he didn't mean it." Making things difficult is just the way he looks.”
Doctor Zhou: “Yes, that's right. I'm very sorry.”
When he apologized, he still had the same expression, tense and fierce, just like the dean, but his hands were awkwardly clenched in his sleeves.
This performance made Zhao Mou's explanation suddenly seem real.
Yu Xing looked at Doctor Zhou in turn and thought, it turns out that there is also a patient with facial paralysis in this medical clinic.
I don't know what happened to the other guy with facial paralysis. Strangely enough, he didn't meet anyone staying at the inn all night. Even Song Xue said she was going to find Nie Lang and the others, but she disappeared later.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Dr. Zhou say: "I'm just concerned about the patient's condition, and I'm not critical of you. I'm just curious because I see that you are lively and different from ordinary patients."
The sea monster snorted: "Okay. I drowned before and was rescued and brought to the hospital. Although I have woken up, I am still a little weak. Doctor Zhao said that I can stay healthy for two more days."
“I stayed in the hospital because... Anyway, I am from another place, so I am happy to stay in the hospital. I paid the money.”
Dr. Zhou was puzzled.
The beds in the backyard of the medical center are all in the same room, separated only by some white curtains, and the beds are not really comfortable, and there is a smell of Chinese medicine. What on earth is this girl thinking, not staying in an inn if she has money? Do you want to live here instead?
Er Hong happened to come out of the back room, heard their conversation, and immediately sent a signal to Dr. Zhou with a wink.
Doctor Zhou: “?”
Er Hong looked at the Siren with a somewhat ambiguous look, and then pointed at Dr. Zhao.
The young man's action does not seem obscene, but it makes people laugh because of his actions.
So Dr. Zhou let out a brief laugh that could easily be misunderstood as a sarcastic smile because of his serious expression.
Erhong: “…”
"Ahem, I understand." Dr. Zhou had long been used to losing control of his face. He understood Erhong's meaning and felt it was a bit novel.
Anyway, the hospital is relatively free these days, and there are many beds in the back. This little girl can stay here if she wants.
He looked at Yu Xing: "Then this..."
This patient didn't speak much. Judging from his body shape, he should be a practitioner and can endure pain, so it's not certain how many wounds there are under his clothes.
Yu Xing said calmly: "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about me. I was just fighting with someone and got a little injured. Dr. Zhao changed my dressing and massaged my muscles."
Zhao Mou answered calmly: "He always runs around during the day and is uncooperative. I simply let him stay here at night. Anyway, I will stay in the hospital these days."
"That's very good." Dr. Zhou frowned and tried his best to control his tone not to be too harsh. He advised kindly, "People like you who wield swords and guns must not think that your body is stronger than others. Wherever you go, if you have any injuries, you must cooperate with the doctor for treatment, otherwise when the time comes..."
Hey guys, this is my mother-in-law.
Yu Xing touched the tip of his nose and found it a little funny. Dr. Zhou was simply more verbose than Zhao Mou. Zhao Mou only picked up important information, but this doctor... was chatty, just like Tang Monk.
He listened for a while, then took advantage of his position and interrupted rudely: "Besides, I'm going to have a headache. Hiss, this Baishou Hall is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."
As soon as he finished speaking, two young apprentices came in chatting.
Seeing how busy the hall was today, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then said hello energetically: "Good morning, Master Zhao, good morning, Master Zhou, good morning, Brother Erhong."
“Ah, good morning, awesome escort! Good morning, my sister.”
“Hey, it's true that the best plan for the day lies in the morning. You two are quite energetic in the morning, and you don't look like you are wilting after noon.” Yu Xing curled her lips.
The two apprentices were embarrassed and unable to refute.
Who let them take turns to be lazy while making medicine yesterday?
They are like this every day. In the morning they excitedly tell themselves that they will work hard today, but at noon they start to feel discouraged. In the afternoon they just want to be lazy and wonder when they can go home.
Zhao Mou put the medicinal materials he was sorting into categories into the medicine cabinet behind him, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then raised his head and said, "What were you talking about when you came in? It was so lively."
It can be seen that the two doctors in the medical clinic should be very kind to the young apprentice. They are not timid at all. When Zhao Mou asked, they started talking. One of them had an exaggerated expression: "Master Zhao! You don't know, when we just came here, we heard people on the street discussing that Mr. Wang passed away!”
The other person lowered his voice slightly: "I heard that there was an explosion over there in the Wang family! The servants were all kidnapped and hung in the yard. Mr. Wang was poured water to death, and his wife and aunt cried so miserably. !”
The first one frowned and shook his head in disapproval: "Oh, what you heard is wrong. I heard that the murderer hung Mr. Wang above the water tank to bleed him, and the whole tank was filled!"
The two of them said one sentence each, and soon several versions appeared.
As the instigator, Yu Xing naturally knew what was going on in the Wang Family Courtyard. It seemed that what he had done had indeed attracted the attention of the people, who were both afraid and curious. Each rumor was more outrageous than the last.
I'm afraid it won't be long before this rumor will spread throughout Fengtou Town.
It seems that not many people paid attention to Wang Er Mazi, who also died on the street. I wonder if someone suppressed the matter.
After a while, the news began to spread widely on the streets outside.
Several patients who were injured last night came to Baishou Hall, all with lingering fears on their faces.
“Mr. Wang, you died miserably!”
“It's miserable! But you deserve it!”
"I've seen the officers and soldiers. Is the leader a yellow agent? I'm afraid I'm going to arrest someone today!"
"Didn't he say he died last night? How can we catch anyone? Don't just catch someone to take the blame."
“Ouch, we don't understand either, keep your voice down, keep your voice down…”
As soon as the patient arrived, people in the first hall had no time to chat. Two young apprentices were assigned to do simple tasks. Erhong ran back and forth, pouring water for the patients and arranging seats. Dr. Zhou also began to receive patients. Undivided attention.
After a while, patients lined up.
It's boring when you're waiting in line. When you're bored, you have to talk a little bit. Although your voice is impassioned, you still think you're sneaky enough, which looks a little funny in Yu Xing's eyes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he and Zhao Mou met each other's eyes. After a brief exchange of eyes, he stood up, straightened his clothes and said: "There are so many people, it's impossible to hide for a while. I'll leave and come back in the evening." "
Siren immediately stood up: "Hey, actually I'm bored too. Are you a local? If so, can you take me for a walk?" "No, I won't." Yu Xing refused impatiently.
Siren: "Pay you silver!"
Yu Xing compromised in a second: "Okay, please, girl."
Under the gaze of the patients, they left the hospital in a swaggering manner.
Stepping out of this street, Siren bought a bamboo hat and put it on himself to avoid being seen by the "feng family's eyes", and then he started shopping aimlessly as he said.
The two of them blended in perfectly with the crowd and even joined in on the excitement of the early gathering.
This is what they have agreed upon.
Let's first see how much impact last night's events have on ordinary people, get feedback from everywhere, and then wait for the movements of the officers, soldiers and several wealthy merchant families.
Zhao Mou will soon escape from the medical center and join them.
Yu Xing walked to the restaurant where he was yesterday.
He looked outside a few times and saw that the restaurant had opened and was selling breakfast, but there was no one inside.
Similarly, most people do not have the luxury to buy breakfast at restaurants.
The articulate waiter stood bored at the door of the restaurant, holding the rag on his shoulder with one hand and shaking his legs.
Two beggars were squatting next to the restaurant, watching eagerly. The waiter pretended not to see them. After pretending for a while, he seemed to curse and turned around to go in.
When he came out again, he had a few more naans in his hand, about five or six, and handed them to the two beggars: "I'll give you brothers a few portions. Take them back quickly. They're still warm."
The two beggars didn't grab and run like other beggars. They stuffed food into their mouths as soon as they had food. Although they were unkempt, their behavior was quite sensible. They bowed to the waiter with gratitude and carelessly. He took the naan and ran away quickly.
Several other beggars not far away who had already set their sights on them started chasing them.
The waiter looked at this scene, shook his head, and murmured in a low voice: "If you chase me again, you will get beaten. I really have no memory."
The surrounding merchants and passers-by were not surprised by this, and seemed to have become accustomed to it.
"What's going on?" Suddenly a voice came from beside the waiter, making him tremble.
The waiter suddenly turned his head, raised his eyes and saw Yu Xing's face, and immediately showed a friendly and shrewd smile: "Hey, it's you, guest sir. I remember you. You just came to our restaurant for a meal yesterday. Isn't it?”
"Yes, the food here is good, so I brought my sister to try it today." Behind Yu Xing, the woman wearing a bamboo hat was gentle and demure, silent and slim.
"That's great. We have a lot of repeat customers here. Who doesn't know our chef's skills? Invite us?" Xiao Shiteng is very enthusiastic and has perfect professionalism.
“Don't worry, please tell me what's going on with this beggar.” Yu Xing looked curious, just like yesterday when he was curious about Mr. Feng's birthday. He looked like a rich young man who couldn't stop eating melons.
He looked at the direction in which the beggars were disappearing, and it was hard to tell whether he expressed approval or disdain in his voice: "You are so kind. I have only seen people who gave them leftovers, but I have never seen anyone who specially gave them new naan."
The waiter tried to figure out what he meant and scratched his head: "As you can see, it's not just my random kindness. It's our shopkeeper who is kind-hearted and willing to give some charity."
Yu Xing asked: "Then why do you only give food to those two beggars and not to other beggars?"
The delicate woman in a bamboo hat next to him also sighed: "Everyone in the world says that you should help the emergency but not the poor. Others are afraid that they will be entangled if they give you food once, but you, the shopkeeper, are not afraid?"
That voice must be so soft that those who listen will feel numb.
The waiter swallowed unconsciously, looked away with some embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "You two don't know something. There is a difference between a beggar and a beggar."
"Look at the person sitting in the corner over there -" He pointed forward. The beggar sitting there had a dull face and gloomy eyes. He had to stare at the back of anyone who walked in front of him. long time.
"He didn't want to sit here, but he couldn't climb up. Some time ago, he stole other people's things and stole their medical treatment money. Fortunately, he was discovered and broke his leg, so he returned the money intact. To the owner."
“Then he has been sitting here. If someone can give him something to eat, he can live an extra day. If he doesn't, he can't breathe in much and out. We, the shopkeeper, will not be soft-hearted about such a beggar.”
Yu Xing understood: "So, those two beggars just now are different?"
"Hey, guess who is the person who discounted this beggar's legs and took back the life-saving money from others?" The waiter smiled, "It's the brothers of the two you just saw."
"They are six or seven brothers. I don't know whether they are biological or recognized later. Although they are beggars, they were all the sons of well-off families. It is said that some are nurses and some are literati, and they are very particular about their work." At this point, the waiter sighed.
"They have offended others and dare not accept them as workers wherever they go. They can only become beggars and mix among the beggars to beg for food. But they do not eat for free and often do chivalrous things. With them around, we This place is much more peaceful than before.”
Yu Xing nodded: "I see, those chasing after them want to steal their food?"
"They're all hungry. Alas, there's nothing we can do about it." The waiter understands very well, "But they can't rob it. Two of these brothers are particularly good at it. Every time others try to rob it, they get a beating." Beat them. It's a pity that these people really don't care about beating them. They will provoke them again and again, and they will come back with bruises and bruises.”
"It turns out that there are such loyal and brave people among the beggars. Who have they offended?" The siren pinched his throat at the right time and softly asked the waiter.
The waiter coughed lightly, and the smile on his face faded a little: "Who else could bully the people like this... Hey, I don't dare say it. If someone hears it, they won't twist my head. Come down and play football.”
Yu Xing smiled heartily: "Haha, let's have breakfast first. Waiter, let me introduce you to the best food."
“Hey! Okay~ Leah!”
“Need a separate private room.”
"Hey! That's good, you two follow me to the second floor!"
Yu Xing and Siren took a seat in the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.
This waiter is really capable, and he really says what he has to say. Based on this, they have to take care of the business of this restaurant.
They didn't care about the money anyway, and they were exhausted after spending it. Fortunately, Yu ordered a few expensive ones and gave the waiter a tael of silver as a reward.
The waiter stopped with a smile on his face, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Two guests, I can see that you are also kind-hearted. I personally want to remind you that you two should not be too ostentatious when spying on people... , Those people are ruthless everywhere, you must know who the beggars have offended. "
Yu Xing smiled knowingly at him and nodded.
The waiter then turned around and left the private room, preparing to serve them food.
"...This person is not simple." The Siren took off his bamboo hat and breathed softly, "If you want to say he is kind, he is really kind."
Yu Xing: “But too smart?”
"Yes, you have only met him twice, and you only asked him after hearing other people's discussions or seeing things." The siren looked at the door of the private room, "But he was so sure I have determined that you are inquiring about those families, and I will give you a reminder."
Yu Xing: "Well, he is a talent."
In other words, there are quite a lot of hidden talents in this popular town.
"Our hidden mission only mentions conspiracy, but I have analyzed it with you before... Since the people behind the scenes are trying to cover up the fact that they have taken away other people's souls, it means that there must be another force that can act at night and be able to detect the disappearance of souls. The people behind the scenes are afraid of the existence of power or individuals, so they have to make so many arrangements. "
The siren's eyes widened: “You mean it!”
"I'm not sure. After eating, let's go meet those people who were forced to become beggars." Yu Xing opened the window of his private room and looked at the street below.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at each other on this seemingly ordinary street.
