Chapter 28 Testing the knife and testing the person (two-in-one)
Back at the hospital, Lin Bai saw that Xiuxiu was sitting in the clinic and checking a woman's pulse.
Xiuxiu looked presentable, with a serious face, nodding her head from time to time, imitating Dr. Bai's appearance to 10%.
"Where's Mr. Bai?" Lin Bai sat over and asked.
"I'm listening for the pulse, don't say anything." Xiuxiu glared at Lin Bai.
"..." Lin Bai closed his mouth as expected and casually swatted a moth to death.
After a long time, Xiuxiu withdrew her hand, checked the woman's tongue coating, and then reached out to touch her belly.
After looking around, Xiuxiu probably didn't diagnose anything, she just scratched her head, obviously feeling timid, and asked: "I don't see anything wrong with you. Is there something wrong with the men in your family? It doesn't necessarily mean that you can't give birth to a child. It’s the woman’s fault.”
The co-author is here to look at infertility. Lin Bai walked away, stay away.
If it's Mr. Bai, you don't need to worry about it. After all, he is old. But Lin Bai was young and had to avoid it.
When the woman heard this, her face immediately turned red. She glanced sideways at Lin Bai, then looked at Xiuxiu, and asked, "Where is Doctor Bai?"
"Can't you trust my medical skills?" Xiuxiu heard that the woman was questioning her, and she immediately became unhappy.
"Doctor Bai looked at my man and said there is nothing wrong with him..." the woman whispered.
"Nothing wrong?" Xiuxiu frowned and asked again: "How often do you... sleep?"
The woman glanced at Lin Bai, her face turned redder, and she whispered: "Sleep every day."
"Then why can't I get pregnant?" Xiuxiu was confused. She was stunned for a while, then turned around and opened a medical book.
"Do you feel any discomfort after having sex?" Lin Bai interrupted.
"That's not true," the woman said honestly. Although her face was embarrassed, she still told the truth, "It's just dirty and smelly..." Her voice became lower and lower, and she was quite embarrassed.
Too dirty? Still smelly? It shouldn't be... Could it be that I'm going the wrong way?
Lin Bai also imitated Xiu Xiu and scratched his head.
"Don't you and your wife have few friends and don't like to talk to others? Don't you listen to other people's gossip?" Lin Bai asked.
"How do you know?" Madam was surprised.
"What did your mother and aunt teach you before you got married?" Lin Bai asked again.
"I only have one older brother, and my mother left early. Before I got married, my father and brother only told me to be honest and obedient," the woman said.
"Yes." Lin Bai immediately understood that if his husband had a few friends who liked to chat, he would not go astray. This woman is also an honest person, and she has no female elders to teach her...
"What is it?" Xiu Xiu was confused.
Lin Bai took out a pen and paper to write and draw. Xiu Xiu wanted to take a look, but Lin Bai ruthlessly pushed her away.
"This is a prescription. Go back and give it to your husband. I wish you a son soon."
After writing, and drying the ink, Lin Bai folded the prescription, handed it to the woman, and warned: "Don't peek at it, give it to your husband, and he will understand of course."
"My man is illiterate..." The woman was extremely embarrassed.
"It doesn't require literacy, it's just pictures." Lin Bai said.
"Don't take medicine?" the lady asked again.
"No fighting...no medicine."
Lin Bai spoke confidently and added, "The medical fee is also waived. If you get pregnant with a child in the future, just treat my Xiuxiu to a candied haws."
The woman was confused, thanked her again and again, and left in a daze.
When Lin Bai saw her leaving, he thought that he might be able to gain a good reputation as a "gynecological master" in the future.
"Treating a disease without taking medicine? Are you trying to trick others?" Xiuxiu frowned with a questioning look on her face.
"Where's Mr. Bai?" Lin Bai didn't answer her question.
"There are some victims from the north coming outside the city. Grandpa said he wanted to take a look." Xiuxiu pouted, obviously worried about Mr. Bai.
"It's so hot... I'll go take a look." Lin Bai was also worried about Mr. Bai's health.
"Grandpa told you to stay at the hospital first. He also said that if he doesn't come back at noon, you can go find him again." Xiu Xiu whispered.
Lin Bai looked at the sky. It was still early at noon.
Just as I was about to go there early, another patient came.
I have no choice but to continue to sit in the clinic.
More than half an hour later, a distinguished guest came to the door. The county's wife Ren Qiaoyun came with a little maid.
Behind him was a bald man, none other than Niu Er.
Lin Bai cupped his hands, and when he saw the warm spring breeze coming from the visitor, he knew that the complaint had worked.
It's just... wasn't Ren Qiaoyun caught and raped in bed? Why did he come out like nothing happened now? The powder on my face is a bit thick, is it covering my palm prints?
"The last time Dr. Lao Bai came to visit you, it was just that my mother-in-law was arranging funeral arrangements and she never came to say thank you. Please don't blame me." Ren Qiaoyun's words were like spring breeze. She looked around and asked curiously: "Where is Dr. Bai?"
"My grandpa is on a medical visit," Xiuxiu said.
"It's such a hot day, Doctor Bai is really a kind-hearted doctor." As Ren Qiaoyun spoke, he waved to the maid to hand over the money bag.
"How dare you ask Madam to deliver it in person?" Lin Bai took it hypocritically and weighed it. There were about fifty taels.
"It's all what I should do." Ren Qiaoyun smiled, turned his head, and the maid and Niu Er retreated.
Lin Bai knew that she had something to say, so he looked at Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, go prepare lunch. I will deliver it to Mr. Bai later."
Xiuxiu was a clever girl. She looked at Lin Bai, then at Ren Qiaoyun, and reluctantly went to the back hall.
Lin Bai was trying to figure out how to get some information from Ren Qiaoyun, but he didn't expect Ren Qiaoyun to speak first.
"What? Are you thinking that I was just caught raping, so why did I come to Baicaotang like a normal person?" The smile on Ren Qiaoyun's face did not diminish, and he was not ashamed of it.
"I don't dare." Lin Bai replied.
"Others call you Lin Zhuanlun, can you really turn the wheel?" Ren Qiaoyun asked curiously.
"These are all rumors. However, I think I am a little better than Senior Brother Jiang." Lin Bai took the initiative to change the topic to Senior Brother Jiang.
"Oh? Not worse than Jiang Rong? He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so what do you have?" Ren Qiaoyun smiled again.
It turns out that Senior Brother Jiang’s real name is Jiang Rong.
"Capital." Lin Bai said.
Sure enough, Ren Qiaoyun understood. She lowered her eyes, smiled a little at the corners of her mouth, and stopped at the bridge of Lin Bai's nose. "Jiang Rong is leaving soon. You will often visit the county government office in the future."
"Senior Brother Jiang is leaving?" Lin Bai realized that the opportunity had come.
"Miss Pei drove him away. The two of them are still handing over affairs at the moment, and they probably won't be able to leave until evening." Ren Qiaoyun sighed slightly, with a hint of disappointment.
"Don't worry, sister, he's not the only man in the world." Lin Bai said shamelessly.
Ren Qiaoyun nodded and stared at Lin Bai with interest.
"Sister," Lin Bai saw the arousal in her eyes, and quickly asked: "Sister, what is the origin of this Qingyang Sect? Why does everyone respect Miss Pei so much?"
"The Qingyang Sect is a major sect in the world, and you don't understand it even if you tell me. All you need to know is that our national master comes from the Qingyang Sect, and Miss Pei is the direct descendant of the national master. You have a relationship like Baicaotang, so you have to be fawning, understand. Are you done?" Ren Qiaoyun said with a smile.
"Thank you sister for the tip, I'll remember it." Lin Bai thanked him immediately.
"I'm leaving first." Ren Qiaoyun stepped out and turned around, "By the way, don't tell anyone else what happened today."
"Don't worry, I've been strict with my mouth since I was a child." Lin Bai promised.
Seeing Ren Qiaoyun leaving, Lin Bai sat down and thought quietly.
After a while, Xiu Xiu had already prepared lunch.
She came out with a lunch box and explained in a serious manner: "It's hot, don't forget to ask grandpa to drink more water. Also, I boiled eggs for you. Eat them early, but they will go bad in the evening."
As she spoke, she closed the lid of the lunch box and went to drive away the moths, complaining: "Since you came to my house, the moths have never stopped in my house."
"Have you not had it before?" Lin Bai was about to leave with his lunch box in hand, but he turned around and asked after hearing this.
"My family runs a medical clinic, and we smoke moxa every day. In the past, there weren't even a single mosquito at all." Xiu Xiu said with a proud look on her face.
Lin Bai nodded and walked out.
The sun was rising at noon, and the market at the gate of Beicheng was bustling. In addition to those who usually set up stalls, there were hundreds of victims of the disaster far away.
Several policemen seemed to have marked off a place to prevent victims from entering the city, and only set up a small porridge shed.
"Have you met Doctor Bai?" Lin Bai grabbed Brother Yun who was selling crispy pears.
"There's a free clinic in front! It's the place with the most people!" Brother Yun stretched out his arms to point, then stared at Lin Bai, and said: "Lin Zhuanlun, you are more successful now. I heard that many old ladies come to see you for medical treatment. When will you Can you teach me how to seduce people?”
"I am seducing people with the name of 'Zhuan Lun', how can I teach you?!" Lin Bai patted Brother Yun's head and hurriedly went to find Dr. Bai.
When he walked into the place where the victims gathered, a police officer came forward to block the way. Lin Bai explained his relationship with Doctor Bai, and then he was let go. Doctor Bai was diagnosing his pulse. When he saw Lin Bai coming, he quickly waved and said, "Come here."
Lin Bai knew that Doctor Bai wanted to train himself, so he immediately agreed and took over the job.
I looked at several disaster victims in succession, but I didn't see any serious illnesses. Most of them were weak, which was caused by hunger and hardship.
One afternoon passed, Lin Bai sent Dr. Bai back to the hospital, and Xiu Xiu had prepared meals.
"Grandpa, let me give you a good thump." Xiuxiu felt very distressed, helped Dr. Bai sit down, and gave him a gentle thump on the back.
Lin Bai didn't want to stay long, so he said goodbye and left.
When she arrived at Mu Zhen's house, she had prepared hot meals and had an inexplicable joy on her face.
After dinner, Lin Bai still didn't stay overnight.
"It's okay to eat and sleep here and there."
It was already dark now. When I got home, I heard the cicadas chirping on the jujube trees.
Lin Bai stepped forward and picked a green date to eat.
A bit chaffy. There has been a lot of rain this year and it is not sweet.
The jujube core popped out, and in the middle of the tree was a black cicada, whose chirping stopped immediately.
After waiting for a while, Lin Bai put on a bamboo hat and linen clothes, carried a knife on his back, and went out with his face covered.
Coming out of the broken gap in the north city, one could see the place where the victims gathered was burning with fire.
During the consultation this afternoon, Lin Bai listened to the police officers talking about the fact that the Beicheng gate would not be open tomorrow and the market would also be closed, for fear that victims would gather and attack the county seat.
However, Lin Bai felt that if the victims were not properly settled, something would happen sooner or later. There is a severe drought in the north, there is no food harvest, and I heard there is civil unrest...
"It's time to reshuffle the cards again. Who decides the rise or fall? It's the people who will suffer."
Lin Bai shook his head, feeling that with his current strength he couldn't help much, and the most he could do was to see a doctor.
After looking at it for a while, he went all the way west and went around to the south gate of the city.
It was already the beginning of Haishi, and Lin Bai lurked down, staring from a distance.
After waiting for half an hour, the city gate opened and someone rode out of the city.
The firelight at the top of the city was faint, but Lin Bai still recognized Jiang Rong.
He was wearing gray clothes and carrying a sword on his back, and he seemed to have a sense of decay.
Two fastmen led the way and rode horses to the pier. There were already passenger ships to greet them.
After Jiang Rong boarded the boat, he stood at the bow and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.
The Huaxi River outside Huaxi County runs southeast, and the Lihua River is an hour east of the passenger ship.
The Lihua River is wide and the Huaxi River is narrow. If Lin Bai wants to take action, he can only choose the Huaxi River.
After following for half an hour, Lin Bai determined that it was far enough away from Huaxi County, and Lin Bai planned to take action.
Based on observations, Lin Bai estimated that Jiang Rong's strength should be second-rate, similar to his own, or even slightly worse.
What he is good at is flying knives and the power of muscles and bones. The opponent is swordsmanship and light kung fu.
So no close combat.
Of course, the main purpose of this trip was to test Mu Zhen.
If she is really a hidden person, she must be secretly watching her somewhere.
Moths in the hospital, black cicadas in the home. The abnormality of Yunwu, how he has been alone in Beicheng for many years, how he was the first to show his kindness after getting the stone plate, and how he lost his memory that night.
You must understand this matter, otherwise it will be like a lump in your throat and you will not be able to sleep peacefully.
Even though it seems that the other party has always been kind to her, it is really uncomfortable to be in the same bed with him. That feeling of being spied on all the time, without any freedom at all.
Lin Bai looked at the boat, took a step forward, gathered the strength of his waist and legs, and let go of the flying knife.
This sword was not at its full strength.
clang!
"Tian Shuliang, the flying knife assassin?" Jiang Rong swung the flying knife away before unsheathing his sword.
Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword and stepped on the breaking waves, flying towards Lin Bai.
“What an elegant Qinggong!”
Lin Bai secretly praised in his heart, and the flying knife shot again, but this knife still did not use its full strength.
That Jiang Rong really had some tricks up his sleeve. He kept stepping on the water and danced with his sword without leaking.
The broken waves reflect the waning moon and the light of the sword, which is really free and freehand.
The flying knife was blocked again. Jiang Rong's sword movement paused for a moment, his figure fell half an inch, and then with a long roar, he stepped onto the shore.
"Nothing more than that!" Jiang Rong sneered.
"I can beat him." Lin Bai noticed that his shoes were wet.
This knife was mainly to test Jiang Rong's strength. If he could block it easily, then don't think about other things, just run away.
If he has a little difficulty, it means that he can do it with ease.
Facts have proved that studying hard and practicing on your own is still effective.
Lin Bai turned around and left without using the knife again.
There are so many trees on the shore that the moonlight cannot reach it. Jiang Rong was not afraid at all. Even though Lin Bai was galloping at great speed, he was equipped with light skills and could keep up with him calmly.
There was a flash of cold light, and the third knife suddenly came out.
Jiang Rong was on guard and blocked it again with his long sword, but he paused for a moment, obviously his breath was not smooth.
But he quickly adjusted and flew up immediately.
During the tea time, Jiang Rong's sword was already ten steps away from Lin Bai, but he didn't dare to attack.
Obviously, he was guarding against Lin Bai's flying knife.
"Why do you need to push too hard?" Lin Bai stopped and took out the hatchet on his back.
"Aren't there any flying knives? You are too confident, and you dare to ambush me without saying a few more strikes." Jiang Rong felt relieved when he saw Lin Bai holding the knife in one hand, but the other hand was empty.
Lin Bai didn't say anything. He still had a throwing knife, which was also a life-saving weapon.
Jiang Rong had rich experience in fighting. He was proud of his light skills and was not afraid of his opponent escaping, so he did not take action and waited for his opponent to make the first move.
"Keep it secret, you must not be a nobody." Jiang Rong pointed his sword at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai didn't say anything, just stared at the opponent's sword.
This is the truly powerful swordsman I have faced since I started practicing internal skills.
Neither of them spoke, the cicadas chirping in the woods became more and more noisy, and those who listened felt panicked.
I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Rong became impatient and moved forward without any fancy gestures. He just thrust out his sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, whipping up a gust of wind and coming towards Lin Bai.
Lin Bai retreated continuously, but there was no way to hide, so he had to step forward with the knife.
The hatchet broke with a sound, and Jiang Rong's sword kept moving towards Lin Bai's throat.
Lin Bai dodged sideways and flashed the flying knife Han Xing in his right hand.
At this moment, Lin Bai noticed that the opponent's eyes suddenly showed a blank look, and the sword was slightly tilted, just grazing his ear.
"It's a bit exaggerating. It's too dangerous this time! Otherwise I will definitely be injured!" Cold sweat broke out on Lin Bai's forehead and he took a few steps back.
"Uh-huh..." Jiang Rong pressed the flying knife on his chest, his eyes were surprised, and he vomited two mouthfuls of blood as if he had encountered something strange, "You have entered the Tao? Pei Wuyong, have you taken the things you used? No. …”
His eyes were ferocious, but there was a weird smile on his face, "The time is too short, you can't...it can't be you..."
There was blood on Jiang Rong's clothes. He no longer looked at Lin Bai. He only staggered a few steps and looked around. He smiled wildly again and said: "Senior brother, senior brother, haha, you bully me every day, but you don't know that you love your wife... ...I'm waiting for you, waiting for you..."
He spurted out two mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground, no longer alive.
"Is this because I remembered something proud before I died?"
There was no more cicada chirping everywhere, it was extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened just now.
Lin Bai just looked at the sky blankly, and after a lot of hard work, he was probably able to determine that matter.
"Sister Zhen, can you just tell me what you want to do? I'm an enemy or a friend, please give me a break." Lin Bai shouted in his heart, feeling extremely distressed and relieved at the same time.
I don’t know its details, its strength, its purpose, only its depth.
"Let's touch the body first." Lin Bai didn't think about it anymore.
