Chapter 17 Hidden Power

The clinic was officially opened until the two primary apprentices of Baishoutang and another doctor on duty today came.
Another doctor on duty was much older than Zhao Mou. He looked in his forties and had a very serious expression. He felt that he was not easy to mess with when he sat there.
Patients like Yu Xing and Siren who temporarily live in the clinic usually recuperate in the backyard - under normal circumstances, only those who are injured can't walk will be allowed to live here.
They were both in front of the hall today, and as soon as the doctor came in, his eyes fell on them.
"Doctor Zhao, are these two... your patients?"
As soon as I spoke, I felt stern. It didn’t seem like I was asking my colleagues, but rather I was asking my subordinates.
Zhao Mou smiled and said, "Yes, Dr. Zhou, you didn't come yesterday and you haven't seen them."
Dr. Zhou looked at the two of them carefully and looked at them with a stern face: "What disease did you have?"
The Siren frowned.
"I'm not your patient, why do you ask so much?" She has a free personality, but she never intends to let a doctor restrict her actions. "What are your picky eyes? Why, does Baishoutang still pick patients?"
She turned her head and said, "Doctor Zhao, this person is much better than you?"
Dr. Zhou's eyes suddenly changed and he was at a loss. He opened his mouth. Before he could speak, Zhao Mou said to him: "Miss, a misunderstanding. Dr. Zhou's face is indeed easy to scare people, but he did not intentionally make things difficult for him, but he just looked like this."
Dr. Zhou: "Yes, that's true, I'm very sorry."
When he apologized, he still had the same expression, tense and fierce, just like the director, but his hands were clenched awkwardly in his sleeves.
This performance made Zhao Mou's explanation become real.
Yu Xing looked at Dr. Zhou in reverse and thought to himself that there was also a facial paralysis in this clinic.
I don’t know how the other person was doing with facial paralysis. It’s strange that he didn’t meet anyone living in the inn all night. Even Song Xue said she wanted to find Nie Lang and the others, but she disappeared later.
Just as I was thinking, I heard Dr. Zhou say, "I just care about the patient's situation and am not picky about you. I am curious because I see you lively and are different from ordinary patients."
The Siren snorted: "Okay. I drowned before and was rescued and sent to the clinic. Although I was awake, I was still a little weak. Dr. Zhao said I could take care of it for two more days."
"I live in the clinic because... Anyway, I came from another place, so I am happy to stay in the clinic, and I paid the money."
Dr. Zhou was puzzled.
The beds in the backyard of the clinic are all in the same room, separated by some white curtains, and the bed is really not comfortable, and there is a smell of Chinese medicine. What exactly is this girl thinking? If she has money, she will not stay in the inn, but instead she has to live here?
Erhong happened to come out from behind. When he heard their conversation, he immediately winked at Dr. Zhou and sent a signal.
Dr. Zhou: "?"
Erhong looked at the Siren with a somewhat ambiguous look, and pointed at Dr. Zhao again.
The boy did this action but it didn't seem obscene, but it was particularly funny because of his actions.
So Dr. Zhou let out a short smile that was easily misunderstood because of his serious expression.
Erhong: "..."
"Well, I understand." Dr. Zhou had long been used to losing control of his face. He understood Erhong's meaning and felt it was a little novel.
Anyway, the clinic has been quite free these days, and there are many beds at the back. This little girl can live there if she wants.
He looked at Yu Xing: "Then this person..."
The patient didn't say much. Judging from his figure, he should be a trainer and could endure the pain, so he couldn't be sure how many scars there were under his clothes.
Yu Xing said calmly: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me. I just fought with someone and was injured. Doctor Zhao changed the medicine and pressed the muscles for me."
Zhao Mou calmly responded: "He always runs around during the day and doesn't cooperate. I'd just let him stay here at night. Anyway, I'll stay in the clinic for these few terms."
"It's so good." Dr. Zhou frowned, controlling his tone as much as possible and advised kindly, "You guys who are playing with guns, don't think that your body is stronger than others. If you have any injuries, you must cooperate with the doctor to treat it, otherwise..."
Good guy, this is the old mom.
Yu Xing touched the tip of his nose, which was a bit funny. Dr. Zhou was even more nagging than Zhao Mou. At least Zhao Mou only picked up important information and said it, while this doctor... was nagging, like Tang Monk.
He listened for a while, and used his identity to facilitate his ability, interrupting impolitely: "Besides, I'm going to have a headache. Hiss, this Baishou Hall is really hidden and lying on the tiger."
As soon as he finished speaking, two elementary apprentices chatted and came in.
Seeing how lively the hall was in today's hall, they were stunned at first, and then greeted him energeticly: "Good morning, Master Zhao, Good morning, Master Zhou, Good morning Erhong brother."
"Ah, good morning, awesome slut! Good morning, this sister."
"Oh, it's really a day's plan. You two are quite energetic early in the morning, and you can't tell at all that you'll be depressed after noon." Yu Xing curled his lips.
The two apprentices were embarrassed and could not refute.
Who made them take turns to be lazy and be seen yesterday when decorating medicine?
They were like this every day. They excitedly told themselves early in the morning that they should work hard today, and they started to be depressed at noon, and they just wanted to be lazy in the afternoon, and silently recite when they could go home.
Zhao Mou put the medicinal materials he was tidying up in a variety of categories into the medicine cabinet behind him, wiped his hands with a veil, then looked up and said, "What were you talking about when you came in just now? It was so enthusiastic."
It can be seen that the two doctors in the clinic should be quite kind to the elementary apprentice. They were not afraid at all. When Zhao Mou asked, they said it, and one of them was exaggerated: "Master Zhao! You don't know, when we just came here, we heard people on the street discussing that Mr. Wang has passed away!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Another voice was slightly pressed: "I heard that the Wang family is in an uproar! The servants were all kidnapped and hung on the yard. Mr. Wang was flooded to death by water. His wife and aunt cried so miserably!"
The previous one frowned and shook his head in disagreement: "Oh, I said that what you heard was wrong. I heard that it was the murderer who hung Master Wang on the water tank to bleed, filling the whole tank!"
The two of them said one by one, and several versions appeared in a short while.
As the initiator, Yu Xing naturally knew what the Wang family courtyard looked like. It seemed that what he did attracted the attention of the people, and he was afraid and curious, and one was spread more than the other.
I'm afraid that in a short while, these rumors will spread throughout Fengtou Town.
Wang Ermazi, who also died on the street, seemed not many people to pay attention. I wonder if someone had suppressed this matter.
After a while, this news began to spread across the streets outside.
Several patients who were injured last night came to Baishoutang with lingering fear on their faces.
"Master Wang, I'm dying miserably!"
"Sad! But deserve it!"
"I've seen the officers and soldiers. Is the leader the Constable Huang? I'm afraid I'm going to arrest people today!"
"Don't you say you died last night? Then how can you catch someone? Don't just want to catch someone casually."
"Oh, we don't understand, just lower your voice, lower your voice..."
As soon as the patient arrived, the people in the first hall had no time to chat. Two elementary apprentices were sent to do some simple work. Erhong ran around and poured water and discharged seats for the patient. Dr. Zhou also began to take the patient and was fully focused.
After a while, the patient lined up.
I was bored when I was queuing, so I had to say something if I was bored. Even though I was very passionate, I thought I was sneaky enough, which made me feel a little funny in Yu Xing's eyes.
Seeing that the time was almost the same, he and Zhao Mou were in sight. After a look of eyes, they stood up, sorted out their clothes and said, "There are so many people, I can't help but hide in peace. I'll leave and come back tonight."
The Siren stood up immediately: "Hey, I'm actually bored, are you a local? If you are a local, please take me around?"
"No, don't take it." Yu Xing refused impatiently.
Siren: "Pay you money!"
Yu Xing compromised in one second: "Yes, please, girl."
Under the gaze of the patients, they left the clinic in a swagger.
Walking out of this street, the Siren bought a hat and put it on himself, so as not to be seen by the "Feng Family's eyes", and then he began to go shopping aimlessly as he said.
The two of them perfectly integrated into the crowd and even went to join in the fun of the morning session.
This was agreed upon by them.
Let’s first see how much influence the events of last night have on ordinary people, get feedback from everywhere, and then wait for the movements of the officers and soldiers and several wealthy business families.
Zhao Mou will soon escape from the clinic and meet with them.
Yu Xing walked to yesterday's restaurant again.
He looked inside a few times outside. The restaurant had already opened and now it was selling breakfast, but there was no one inside.
Yes, most people are not as luxurious as they even have to buy breakfast in restaurants.
The eloquent little Erbai stood bored at the door of the restaurant, snatching the rag on his shoulder with one hand, and still shaking his legs.
The two beggars squatted beside the restaurant and looked at them eagerly. The waiter pretended not to see them. After pretending for a while, he seemed to curse again and turned around and went 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 some of them to you brothers, take them back quickly, it's still very warm."
The two beggars didn't snatch them like beggars elsewhere and ran away. They stuffed food into their mouths as soon as there was food. Although they were unkempt, their behavior was still rational. They bowed to the waiter Qian En, and then ran away quickly with the naan.
Not far away, the other beggars who had already been eyeing them and chased after them.
The waiter looked at this scene, shook his head, and murmured in a low voice: "If you chase again, you will have to be beaten again. I really have no memory."
Neither the surrounding merchants nor passers-by showed any surprises about this, as if they were used to it.
"What's going on?" Suddenly a voice came from the waiter, scaring him to death.
The waiter suddenly turned his head, looked up at Yu Xing's face, and immediately showed a kind and smart smile: "Oh, it's your guest. I remember you, did you just come to our restaurant for dinner yesterday?"
"Yes, your food is good, so today I will take my sister to try it." Behind Yu Xing, a woman with a hat, was gentle and quiet, without saying a word, and had a slim figure.
"That's great. There are many repeat customers here. Who doesn't know the skills of our chefs? Please come here?" The waiter was very enthusiastic and had full professional qualities.
"Don't worry, let me tell me what's going on with this beggar." Yu Xing looked curious, just like he was curious about Mr. Feng's birthday yesterday, and he looked like a rich man who couldn't stop and loved to eat melons.
He looked at the direction where the beggars disappeared, and could not tell whether they agreed or despised in his tone: "You are so kind. I have only seen people who give them leftovers, and I have never seen anyone who specializes in delivering new naan."
The waiter figured out his meaning and scratched his head: "You saw it, it's not that I'm just kind-hearted, but that our shopkeeper is kind-hearted and willing to give him some charity."
Yu Xing asked: "Then why do you only give those two beggars food and not other beggars?"
The weak woman in the straw hat beside him also sighed: "Everyone says that helping the emergency or not to help the poor. Others are afraid that they will be entangled if they give food once, but aren't you afraid?"
The softer the sound is, the softer it makes people feel weaker.
The waiter swallowed unconsciously, looked away with embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "You two don't know that there are different beggars and beggars."
"Look at the corner of the wall over there-" He pointed forward, and the beggar sitting there had a wooden face, his eyes were gloomy. Anyone who walked over in front of him had to stare at the back for a long time.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "He didn't want to sit here, but couldn't climb. Some time ago, he stole the money for treating others. Fortunately, he was discovered, broke his leg, and returned the money to the owner without moving."
"Then he kept sitting here. If someone could give him some food, he would live one more day. If he didn't, he would get more breathing. If he was such a beggar, our shopkeeper would not be soft-hearted."
Yu Xinglei: "So, are the two beggars just now unique?"
"Hehe, guess who is the one who gave the beggar's leg to get the money to save someone else's life-saving money?" The waiter smiled, "It's the two brothers you just saw."
"I don't know if they are six or seven brothers, or I recognize them later. Although they are beggars, they used to be from good families. It is said that some are guardians and some are literati, and they are very particular about doing things." At this point, the waiter sighed.
"They offended people and did not dare to accept them wherever they went to work. They could only be beggars and mingle with beggars to ask for food. But they did not eat for nothing, and often did chivalrous things. With them, our area was much more peaceful than before."
Yu Xing nodded: "So that's it. Are the ones chasing behind wanting to steal their food?"
"I'm hungry, alas, there's nothing I can do." The waiter was very understanding, "But they couldn't grab it. Two of these brothers were very good at it. Every time someone went to grab it, they would be beaten. Unfortunately, these people really don't remember to beat it, and they would go to provoke it again, and they would come back with a bruised face later."
"It turns out that there are such loyal and brave people among the beggars. I wonder who they have offended?" The sirens pinched their voice at the right time and asked the waiter softly.
The waiter coughed lightly, and the smile on his face faded: "Who else can it be? It's so oppressing the people... Hey, I dare not say that if someone hears it, I won't twist my head off as a ball."
Yu Xing smiled heartily: "Haha, then let's have breakfast first, waiter, introduce you to the best ones."
"Hey! OK~ Alright!"
"You need a separate private room."
"Oh! That's good, you two follow me to the second floor!"
Yu Xing and the Siren entered the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.
This waiter is really good at dealing with it. If he has something to say, they have to take care of the business of this restaurant.
Anyway, their money was not bad, so after spending it, Yu Xing ordered a few expensive ones and gave the waiter one or two taels of silver.
The waiter stopped with a smile on his face and suddenly lowered his voice: "Two guests, I can see that you are kind-hearted. I personally want to remind you that you will find out. You should not be too arrogant. Those people have their legs everywhere. I believe you know who the beggars have offended."
Yu Xing smiled tacitly at him and nodded.
The waiter then turned around and left the private room, organizing to serve them.
"...This person is not simple either." The sirens took off their hat and let out a sigh of relief. "If you want to be kind, you are really kind."
Yu Xing: "But you're too smart?"
"Yes, you've only met him twice, and you'll ask him only after hearing other people's discussions or seeing things." The Siren looked at the door of the private room, "but he judged so surely that you were inquiring about those families and reminding you."
Yu Xing: "Well, it's a talent."
In other words, there are still many hidden talents in this limelight town.
"Our hidden mission only mentions conspiracy, but I have also analyzed it with you before... Since the person behind the scenes is trying to cover up the fact that he takes away other people's souls, it means that there must be a force or individual that can move at night and be enough to discover the disappearance of the souls. The person behind the scenes is afraid, so he has to do so many more arrangements."
The Siren's eyes widened: "You mean!"
"You can't say that after eating, let's go and meet those people who have been forced to become beggars." Yu Xing pushed open the window of the private room on his side and looked at the street below.
