The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 28: Testing the Knife and Testing the Person (Two in One)

When he returned to the clinic, Lin Bai saw that it was Xiuxiu who was treating a woman.

Xiuxiu acted very seriously, with a serious face and nodded from time to time, imitating Doctor Bai's past behavior perfectly.

"Where is Mr. Bai?" Lin Bai sat over and asked.

"I'm taking my pulse, don't talk." Xiuxiu glared at Lin Bai.

"..." Lin Bai really closed his mouth and slapped 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 observing, smelling, asking and palpating, Xiuxiu probably couldn't make a diagnosis. She just scratched her head, clearly showing her fear, and asked, "I can't see what's wrong with you. Is there something wrong with your husband? It's not necessarily a woman's fault if she can't have children."

So he came to see a doctor about infertility. Lin Bai walked away, staying away.

If it was Mr. Bai, he wouldn't need to worry about it, after all, he is old. But Lin Bai is still young, so he has to avoid him.

The woman blushed immediately after hearing this. She glanced at Lin Bai, then at Xiu Xiu and asked, "Where is Doctor Bai?"

"Don't you trust my medical skills?" Xiuxiu became unhappy immediately when she heard the woman questioning her.

"Doctor Bai examined my husband and said there was nothing wrong with him..." the woman said in a low voice.

"Nothing wrong?" Xiuxiu frowned and asked, "How often do you guys sleep?"

The woman glanced at Lin Bai, her face turned even 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 started flipping through a medical book.

"Are you feeling any discomfort after having sex?" Lin Bai interrupted.

"Not really," the woman was very honest. Although she looked embarrassed, she still told the truth, "It's just very dirty and smelly..." She lowered her voice and became quite embarrassed.

Dirty? And smelly? This shouldn't be the case... Did I take the wrong road?

Lin Bai also scratched his head like Xiuxiu.

"Do you two have few friends? Do you not like to talk to people? Do you not like to listen to other people's gossip?" Lin Bai asked.

"How do you know?" the lady was surprised.

"What did your mother, aunts and sisters teach you before you got married?" Lin Bai asked again.

"I only have an older brother, and my mother passed away early. Before I got married, my father and brother just told me to be obedient and obedient," said the woman.

"Yes." Lin Bai immediately understood that if his husband had a few friends who liked to gossip, he wouldn't have made such a mistake. This woman was also an honest person, and she didn't have any female elders to teach her...

"What is it?" Xiuxiu was puzzled.

Lin Bai took out a pen and paper and started writing and drawing. Xiuxiu wanted to come and see, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Lin Bai.

"Here is the recipe. Go back and give it to your husband. I wish you both have a baby soon."

After writing it and blowing the ink dry, Lin Bai folded up the prescription and handed it to the woman, admonishing her, "Don't peek. Give it to your husband, and he will understand it naturally."

"My husband is illiterate..." The woman was extremely embarrassed.

"You don't need to know how to read, it's a picture," said Lin Bai.

"Don't you want to take medicine?" the lady asked again.

"No fighting... no medicine."

Lin Bai spoke confidently and added, "The consultation fee is waived. If you get pregnant in the future, just treat my Xiuxiu to some candied haws."

The woman was confused and thanked him again and again, then left in a daze.

When Lin Bai saw her leave, she thought that she might be able to gain a reputation as a "gynecological expert" in the future.

"Cure the disease without taking medicine? Are you kidding me?" Xiuxiu frowned, looking doubtful.

"Where is Mr. Bai?" Lin Bai did not answer her question.

"Some disaster victims from the north have come to the outside of the city, and grandpa said he wanted to go and 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 in the clinic first. He also said that if he doesn't come back by noon, you can go find him." Xiuxiu said in a low voice.

Lin Bai looked at the sky. It was still early before noon.

Just when I was about to go there early, another patient came.

There is no other choice but to continue seeing patients.

More than half an hour later, a distinguished guest came. The county lady, Ren Qiaoyun, came with a little maid.

There was a bald man following behind him, it was Niu Er.

Lin Bai cupped his hands, and seeing that the visitor was warm and friendly, he knew that his complaint had taken effect.

But... Ren Qiaoyun was caught cheating in bed? How come she came out now as if nothing had happened? The powder on her face was a little thick, was it to cover the slap marks?

"Last time I troubled Doctor Bai and you to come to my house, but my family was dealing with my funeral, so I didn't come to thank you. Please forgive me." Ren Qiaoyun's words were like a spring breeze. She looked around and asked curiously, "Where is Doctor Bai?"

"My grandpa is out seeing patients." said Xiuxiu.

"It's so hot today, Doctor Bai really is a kind-hearted doctor." Ren Qiaoyun said this and waved for the maid to present the purse.

"How dare I trouble Madam to deliver it in person?" Lin Bai took it hypocritically, weighed it, and found it was about fifty taels.

"It's all my job." Ren Qiaoyun smiled and turned her head away. The maid and Niu Er then retreated.

Lin Bai knew that she had something to say, so he looked at Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, go prepare lunch, I'll send it to Mr. Bai later."

Xiuxiu was a smart girl. She looked at Lin Bai, then at Ren Qiaoyun, and reluctantly went to the back hall.

Lin Bai was just thinking about how to get some information from Ren Qiaoyun, but he didn't expect Ren Qiaoyun to speak first.

"What? Are you wondering, I was just caught cheating, so how come nothing happened and I came to Baicaotang?" Ren Qiaoyun kept smiling and she didn't feel ashamed at all.

"I dare not." Lin Bai replied.

"Everyone calls you Lin Zhuanlun, can you really turn the wheel?" Ren Qiaoyun asked curiously again.

"They are all rumors. However, I think I am 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 full name is Jiang Rong.

"Capital." Lin Bai said.

As expected, Ren Qiaoyun understood. She lowered her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then stopped her eyes on Lin Bai's nose. "Jiang Rong is leaving soon. You should visit the county government office more often in the future."

"Senior Brother Jiang is leaving?" Lin Bai realized that the opportunity had come.

"Miss Pei chased him away. Right now, the two are still handing over business matters. He probably won't be able to leave until evening." Ren Qiaoyun sighed slightly, looking disappointed.

"Don't worry, sister. The world is so big and he is not the only man in it." Lin Bai said shamelessly.

Ren Qiaoyun nodded and stared at Lin Bai with interest.

"Sister," Lin Bai saw the lust in her eyes and asked hurriedly, "Sister, what is the origin of the Qingyang Sect? Why do people treat Miss Pei so... respectfully?"

"The Qingyang Sect is a great sect in the world, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You only need to know that our national master comes from the Qingyang Sect, and Miss Pei is the direct descendant of the national master. Since you have a relationship with Baicaotang, you must curry favor with them, do you understand?" Ren Qiaoyun said with a smile.

"Thank you for your advice, sister. I'll remember it." Lin Bai immediately thanked.

"I'm leaving first." Ren Qiaoyun stepped out and turned around, "By the way, don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Don't worry, I have been tight-lipped since I was a child." Lin Bai made the promise.

Seeing Ren Qiaoyun leave, Lin Bai sat down and thought quietly.

After a while, Xiuxiu had prepared lunch.

She came out with a lunch box and said in a serious tone, "It's hot, tell grandpa to drink more water, don't forget. Also, I boiled eggs for you, eat them early, otherwise 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, there have been moths everywhere."

"Hasn't there been such a thing before?" Lin Bai was about to leave with his lunch box, but turned back and asked after hearing this.

"My family runs a clinic. We use moxa every day, and there weren't even any mosquitoes before." Xiuxiu looked proud.

Lin Bai nodded and walked out.

At noon, the sun was at its highest, and the market at the north city gate was bustling. In addition to the usual vendors, there were also hundreds of disaster victims in the distance.

A few constables seemed to have marked out an area to prevent the disaster victims from entering the city, and only set up a small porridge stall.

"Have you seen Doctor Bai?" Lin Bai grabbed Yun Ge'er who was selling crisp pears.

"It's the free clinic in front! It's where the most people are!" Brother Yun pointed with his arm, staring at Lin Bai and said, "Lin Zhuanlun, you've made it big now. I heard that many old ladies come to you for treatment. When are you going to teach me how to seduce people?"

"I seduce people with the name of 'Turning Wheel', how can I teach you?!" Lin Bai patted Yun Ge'er on the head and hurried to find Doctor Bai.

When he walked into the place where the disaster victims gathered, a constable came forward to block his way. Lin Bai explained his relationship with Doctor Bai, and was then let go. Doctor Bai was taking the pulse, and 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 visited several disaster victims in succession, but I didn't see any serious illnesses. Most of them were weak due to hunger and exhaustion.

An afternoon passed and Lin Bai sent Doctor Bai back to the clinic. Xiuxiu had already prepared the meal.

"Grandpa, let me give you a back massage." Xiuxiu felt very distressed. She helped Doctor Bai sit down and gently massaged his back.

Lin Bai didn't want to stay long, so he said goodbye and left.

When we arrived at Mu Zhen's house, she had already prepared hot meals and there was an inexplicable joy on her face.

After dinner, Lin Bai still did not stay overnight.

"Eating in the east and sleeping in the west is the norm."

It was already dark by then. When I got home, I heard the cicadas chirping on the jujube tree.

Lin Bai walked forward and picked a green date to eat.

There is a little bit of bran. There was a lot of rain this year, so it is not sweet.

The date pit popped out and hit a black cicada on the tree, and the cicada stopped chirping immediately.

After waiting for a while, Lin Bai put on a bamboo hat, linen clothes, carried a knife, and went out with his face covered.

Coming out from the broken gap in the north city, we saw fire burning where the victims were gathered.

While seeing patients this afternoon, Lin Bai heard the detectives talking about how the north city gate would not be opened tomorrow and the market would also be suspended, for fear that disaster victims would gather and attack the county town.

However, Lin Bai felt that if the victims were not properly settled, something bad would happen sooner or later. There was a severe drought in the north, the crops had all gone, and I heard that there was even civil unrest...

"It's time to reshuffle the cards again. No one decides the rise and fall, and the people suffer."

Lin Bai shook his head, feeling that he couldn't help much with his current strength, and at most he could just check the patient's condition.

After looking for a while, he headed west again and went around to the south city gate.

It was already the beginning of the hour of Hai. Lin Bai lay in hiding, watching from a distance.

After waiting for half an hour, the city gate opened and someone rode out of the city on horseback.

The fire on the top of the city was dim, but Lin Bai still recognized Jiang Rong.

He was wearing grey clothes and carrying a sword, looking depressed.

Led by two constables, they rode their horses to the dock, where a passenger ship was already waiting to greet them.

Jiang Rong boarded the boat and stood at the bow, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky.

The Huaxi River outside Huaxi County runs southeast, and the passenger ship can reach the Lihua River in one hour to the east.

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 and making sure they were far enough away from Huaxi County, Lin Bai decided to take action.

Based on his observation, Lin Bai estimated that Jiang Rong's strength should be second-rate, similar to his own, or even slightly weaker.

I am good at flying knives and strength of muscles and bones, while the other party is good at swordsmanship and light work.

So you can't fight in close combat.

Of course, the main purpose of this trip is to test Mu Zhen.

If she is really a hidden person, then she must be secretly watching me from somewhere.

The moths in the clinic, the cicadas at home. Yunwu's abnormality, living in the North City for many years but keeping to herself, being the first to show goodwill after I got the stone plate, and the amnesia that night.

This matter must be clarified, otherwise it will be like a thorn in the throat and you won't be able to sleep well.

Even though the other party has been treating me with good intentions, it is still uncomfortable to be in the same bed with different dreams. The feeling of being spied on all the time and not having any freedom at all.

Lin Bai looked at the boat, took a step forward, gathered the strength of his waist and legs, and the flying knife flew out of his hand.

I didn't use my full strength in this strike.

clang!
"The flying knife assassin Tian Shuliang?" Jiang Rong swung away the flying knife without unsheathing his sword.

Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword, stepped on the broken waves, and flew towards Lin Bai.

"What a graceful and graceful skill!"

Lin Bai secretly praised in his heart and threw the flying knife again, but this time he still did not use his full strength.

Jiang Rong really had some skills. He kept stepping on the water and his sword dance was flawless.

The broken waves reflected the waning moon, and contrasted with the sword light, which was truly a free and easy painting.

The flying knife was blocked again. Jiang Rong's sword movement paused for a moment, and his body dropped half an inch. Then he let out a long roar and 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 is mainly used to test Jiang Rong's strength. If he can block it easily, then don't think about anything else and just run away.

If he has a little difficulty, it means that he can handle it with ease.

Facts have proved that hard work and study are effective.

Lin Bai didn't draw his knife again, just turned and left.

The trees on the shore were densely planted, and the moonlight could hardly reach. Jiang Rong was not afraid at all. Even though Lin Bai was running at a very fast speed, he was able to catch up calmly with his Qinggong skills.

There was a flash of cold light, and the third knife came out slowly.

Jiang Rong was prepared and blocked the attack with his sword again, but he paused for a moment, obviously having difficulty breathing.

But he quickly adjusted himself and flew up immediately.

In just a cup of tea, Jiang Rong's sword was ten steps away from Lin Bai, but he did not dare to force his way forward.

Obviously, he was guarding against Lin Bai's flying knife.

"Why are you pushing me so hard?" Lin Bai stopped and took out the hatchet from his back.

"Don't you have any flying knives left? You are too confident. You dare to ambush me without even thinking about throwing a few more times." Jiang Rong felt relieved when he saw Lin Bai holding the knife in one hand and the other hand was empty.

Lin Bai didn't say anything, he still had a flying knife, which was also a life-saving weapon.

Jiang Rong was experienced in fighting. He was confident in his martial arts skills and was not afraid that the opponent would escape, so he did not attack and waited for the opponent to make the first move.

"You are so secretive, you must be someone unknown." Jiang Rong pointed his sword at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said nothing, just stared at the opponent's sword.

This was the first truly powerful swordsman he had faced since he started practicing internal skills.

Neither of them spoke. The cicadas in the woods chirped louder and louder, making the listeners feel uneasy.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Jiang Rong became impatient. He moved forward without any fancy moves and thrust out with his sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, stirring up a gust of wind as he came towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai retreated repeatedly, but there was nowhere to hide, so he had to charge forward with his sword.

The hatchet broke with a sound, and Jiang Rong's sword continued to move towards Lin Bai's throat.

Lin Bai dodged sideways and the flying knife in his right hand flashed like a cold star.

At this moment, Lin Bai noticed that the other party's eyes suddenly showed a daze, and the sword actually deviated slightly, just brushing past his ear.

"I was a bit too careless. This time it's too dangerous! Otherwise I would definitely get hurt!" Lin Bai broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and took a few steps back.

"Uh uh..." Jiang Rong pressed the flying knife on his chest, his eyes full of surprise, as if he had encountered something strange, and spat out two mouthfuls of blood, "You, entered the Tao? Pei Wuyong, did you take away his things? No..."

His eyes were ferocious, but there was a strange smile on his face, "The time was too short, you couldn't... it couldn't be you..."

Jiang Rong's clothes were covered in blood. He no longer looked at Lin Bai. He staggered a few steps, looked around, and laughed wildly again: "Senior brother, eldest brother, haha, you bully me every day, but I don't know that you love your wife... I'm waiting for you, waiting for both of you..."

He spat out two mouthfuls of blood, fell to the ground, and died.

"Is this a proud memory that you remembered before dying?"

There were no more cicadas chirping around, and it was extremely quiet, as if nothing had happened just now.

Lin Bai just stared at the sky, thinking that after a desperate attempt, he might be able to confirm the matter.

"Sister Zhen, can you just tell me what you want to do? Friend or foe, give me a quick death." Lin Bai shouted in his heart, feeling extremely distressed, but also relaxed.

I don’t know his background, I don’t know his strength, I don’t know his purpose, I only know his depth.

"Let's touch the corpse first." Lin Bai didn't think any more.
