"Old Shi, how did you find those spies?" Wu Neng asked, thinking that so many people were secretly staring at him but he didn't know it, Wu Neng's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"It's very simple, first of all, most of the secret agents in the Western Desert are people who practice martial arts, whether they have embarked on the path of cultivation or not, the aura on their bodies and the feeling they give people are different from ordinary people after all, for me and a cultivator like Iron Mask, it is not difficult to see the difference between this. Of course, not all spies are martial arts practitioners, so you have to pay attention to their behavior at this time. Shi Cheng explained, "Let me give you an example, at the door of the restaurant where we eat, have you noticed a middle-aged man who pushes a cart and sells candy?" ”

"There is such a person." Wu Neng nodded and said, "At that time, he also asked me if I wanted to buy his candy man." ”

Shi Cheng took a sip of water and continued: "He's a secret agent. The central and western regions of the Western Desert Country are mostly deserts and less woodlands, and the autumn and winter seasons are often windy and sandy weather. In order to prevent the wind and sand from damaging the sugar man, the real sugar man business often hangs a windproof cloth on his cart during this season. But after all, the agents are not really in the sugar man business, and due to the needs of their profession, they often have to dress up as people from different industries during the mission. As a result, they are unlikely to have a thorough understanding of practitioners from all walks of life, and sometimes they will reveal some flaws. ”

"I see." Wu Neng nodded continuously, but then said in distress, "I didn't expect to enter the tiger's den so quickly after coming out of the wolf's den." ”

Shi Cheng walked to the washbasin, washed his hands and face, and said to Wu Neng: "You'd better get used to this kind of life quickly." But then again, you've been a cell boss in Redwood City once, why can't you let go so much now? ”

Seeing that the anger in Wu Neng's gaze towards him was getting heavier and heavier, Shi Cheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you really can't joke at all." ”

"Let's get down to business." Iron Mask suddenly spoke, "What are you going to do right now?" ”

Shi Cheng knew that Tie Mian was asking himself. After thinking for a while, Shi Cheng said: "Instead of waiting passively like this, it is better for us to take the initiative." I'm going to ask the store to send a message to the government, asking the three of us to hold a free clinic in Yunqiu City. ”

"Free clinic?" Wu Neng and Tie Mian were both quite surprised. Wu Neng said, "Lao Shi, don't forget that we are now the focus of the government. ”

"If you don't try, how do you know if it works?" Shi Cheng said to the two companions, "I'm going to take a gamble, just bet that Lord Sun wants to dig up information from us, but now he doesn't dare to make a big deal against the three of us." I offered to ask for a free clinic, not only to give myself a chance to collect information in Yunqiu City, but also to give that Master Sun a chance to observe my movements. One for one, that's fair. ”

……

The bright moon was already higher than the treetops, but the inside of the Wenshi Pavilion in the Yamen of Yunqiu City was still brightly lit. Several officials were busy next to several bookcases, carrying the dossier, or transcribing some of the key information in the dossier. Sun Jinyong and Zhao Ping were standing at a long table covered with maps, comparing the files in their hands and constantly drawing on the map.

At this moment, a servant came in from outside, walked quickly to Sun Jinyong's side, and said respectfully: "My lord, there is news from the inn that Shi Cheng, Wu Neng and the person named Tie Mian took the initiative to request a two-day free clinic in Yunqiu City. ”

Zhao Ping said coldly: "What do these three people want to do, don't they know what their identity is now?" Let them stay honestly in the inn! ”

"Wait!" Sun Jinyong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Ping, he looked at the official who came to deliver the message, and asked, "What did that Shi Cheng say, you told me about 1510, why did you suddenly want to hold a free clinic in the city, did he explain the reason?" ”

The official nodded and said, "The brother who came to deliver the message has already asked, according to what Shi Cheng said, this is a request made by his master when he left the school, saying that he should have more free clinics when he travels outside, so that he can accumulate good fortune." Kindness to others will be rewarded. ”

"Does he have such a conscience? Where did he get all this rhetoric from? Zhao Ping said disdainfully, "They are now the parties to the case, and they should weigh their identities clearly!" ”

Sun Jinyong didn't say anything, he put down the pen in his hand, stroked his beard and thought for a while, before he said to the servant: "You go back and tell the innkeeper that the official allows their request, but I have three requests. First, they must move within the city of Cloudhill City, and they are forbidden to go to nearby villages. Second, government officials need to follow them and monitor the entire process of free clinics. Thirdly, they need to raise their own medical materials and utensils for free clinics. If they can agree to these three requests, they can have a free clinic in the city. ”

The official left, but Zhao Ping's heart was still puzzled, and he asked Sun Jinyong in confusion: "My lord, they are all important interrogation targets, why did you suddenly agree to their request for free medical treatment?" ”

Sun Jinyong said: "I know you are worried that they may use the excuse of free medical treatment to escape. But don't worry, as long as they are in Cloud Hill City, they won't be able to escape from our palms. In those days, we only need to strengthen the monitoring at the various city gates, and keep an eye on them during their free clinics. ”

Zhao Ping nodded and said, "The subordinates understand, but the subordinates still don't understand what is the purpose of the adults agreeing to their free clinics?" ”

Sun Jinyong replied: "Gao Yan can ignore the consequences of offending an important member of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce, but I really can't help but think about it, in the end, I can't and has no right to really do anything to Shi Cheng without evidence." That Shi Cheng is a shrewd person, and I guess he saw through my thoughts, so he dared to make such a request. But then again, knowing that I had no way to take him, Shi Cheng still offered to conduct a free clinic, I'm afraid he really doesn't have any cards to play in his hand. ”

Zhao Ping was still a little confused and asked, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

Sun Jinyong asked rhetorically: "In today's world, doctors are unrighteous. There are half-witted people who dare to come out and deceive after learning medicine work in the hospital for a few days, but how many pharmacists have you seen who will hold free clinics and doctors are not profitable? Profit-seeking is the nature of human beings, and it is not only from nature, but it is also understandable and justified. In the case that he may be in prison, do you think that Shi Cheng will have the heart to really treat people? It's just that when there is no other choice, I want to take risks, and in the name of free clinics, I am in a hurry to meet with some people. ”

Zhao Ping suddenly realized and nodded.

"Of course, that's just my guess." Sun Jinyong added, "No matter what Shi Cheng wants to do, the real purpose of his free clinic will definitely not be simple." Ah Ping, let's do it, during Shi Chengyi's consultation, you brought a few good hands with them and kept an eye on the three of them in the open. In addition to that, I will secretly send some people to assist you. You must report to me in detail where the three of them went, when they met, and what they did. I'll write to them and let them know about my decision, and if they still want to get in the way, let them come to me! ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

……

Shi Cheng didn't expect his request to be approved so quickly. However, Shi Chengpin was also happy to see this result, and after thanking the store that sent the message, he said to his two companions: "Let's rest early tonight, tomorrow we will go to buy medicine and car equipment first, and the day after tomorrow we will start the free clinic." ”

Wu Neng nodded, and Tie Mian said, "It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of ability the silver medal Danshi of the Pharmacist Chamber of Commerce has." ”

The three of them took hot water separately, and after bathing and washing, everyone rested.

In the early morning of the next day, when Shi Cheng opened his eyes, he found that Tie Mian was still sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating. Shi Cheng opened his mouth to say hello and asked, "I've been meditating all night, don't you sleep for a while?" ”

"You're also a monk, don't you know that meditation is also a kind of rest?" Iron Mask asked rhetorically.

"In my opinion, yes and no." Shi Cheng got down from the bed and said while arranging his clothes, "Meditation can rest the body, but it may not really rest the mind. If a person's heart continues to be immersed in the past, it will only get more and more tired. It is better to give your heart more space in sleep, so that it can recuperate and recuperate, so that you have the strength to continue running. ”

Iron Mask was noncommittal and asked, "How do you know where my heart is immersed?" ”

Shi Cheng turned to the iron face and said seriously: "A person's obsession must be related to past experiences, and it is impossible to appear out of thin air. I don't know what kind of experience you've had, but I can vaguely tell that you have an almost paranoid pursuit of strength, and I can feel that it is definitely not a good memory. As a companion who has no ill will towards you, I don't want you to go down the wrong path because of this. Your attachments will make it impossible for you to empty yourself in meditation. If you go down the wrong path because of this, the person who is happy about it will never be your friend. ”

Iron Mask didn't react, and he closed his eyes as if he had never spoken.

Shi Cheng didn't continue to talk, he walked to Wu Neng's bedside, stretched out his hand and pushed him, shouting, "Old Wu, wake up!" The sun is on your feet! ”

"Don't make a fuss, let me sleep again." Wu Neng muttered half-asleep, turned around and fell asleep again, but the one he was holding in his arms fell out.

Shi Cheng didn't realize it for a while, and it wasn't until his eyes swept over the cover that he suddenly realized. Shi Cheng's slightly dark face smiled obscenely, took Wu Neng who fell out, and recited while looking at the title on the cover: "When you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon!" ”

Wu Neng, who was lying on the bed in a daze, immediately shook his head when he heard this, and shot up like a tumbler that had just been knocked down, looking at the yellow book in Shi Cheng's hand, his face was so wonderful and wonderful.
