Chapter 82 Chapter 82

Chen Zhaoyue nodded in understanding, motioning for them to let Shadan sit down, and took a closer look at him under the pretext of inspection.

Ignoring Shadan's silly expression and behavior, just looking at his figure, he is extremely similar to the back of the enemy spy we saw on the mountain that day!

"How long has he been like this?" Chen Zhaoyue asked casually, placing his fingers lightly on Shadan's pulse.

At the moment of contact, Shadan suddenly broke free from the young man's pressure.

The two men were unable to hold him down for a moment, their strength was simply astonishingly great.

"Sister, beautiful sister!" Shadan suddenly came in front of Shen Zhaoyue, grinning with an exaggerated smile.

The hot breath he exhaled with the sweet smell of sugar hit her face, and Shen Zhaoyue's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

This man looks much older than her, and he actually calls her sister?

Although he was a fool, it was indeed hard to accept for a while.

Two young men hurried forward and grabbed him: "Stop it, idiot!"

One of the young men blushed and stammered, "He...he's not like this usually. He's more normal than this. Maybe...maybe he saw the young doctor..."

They all thought Shen Zhaoyue was beautiful, but they were all farmers and were not so direct.

They didn't expect that Shadan, such a fool, would also like beautiful girls. If they had known this would happen, they would not have brought him here.

"It's okay." Chen Zhaoyue put on a professional smile, but his eyes were fixed on Shadan: "Can I ask, with him like this and his family gone, how does he make a living? Does he rely on the villagers for help?"

"Shadan likes to hang around the village," the dark-skinned young man replied. "Whenever there's food in the house, they call him over to do some work and then give him a bowl of rice to eat."

As he spoke, he patted Shadan's sturdy shoulders and said, "Although he is stupid, he is very strong and works very well."

Chen Zhaoyue nodded thoughtfully, pretending to rummage through her bag, but actually took out a White Rabbit candy from her space.

"Silly!" She shook the candy in her hand and said softly, as if coaxing a child, "Do you want some candy?"

"I want it! Silly Dan wants to eat it!" Seeing the candy, Silly Dan was about to pounce on her again.

The two young men quickly grabbed his arms, fearing that he would offend Shen Zhaoyue.

"Then you have to listen to me." Chen Zhaoyue raised the candy high, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Stand still and turn around, and I'll give you the candy, okay?"

"Okay, Silly, turn around!" Silly immediately started spinning clumsily on the spot like a toy that had received an order.

The two young men next to him were not surprised by this. They also turned around when they came to see the doctor, thinking it was just Shen Zhaoyue's special diagnosis and treatment method.

"Candy! Silly Egg has finished spinning! I want candy!" After spinning around, Silly Egg couldn't wait to pounce on the candy again, with shiny saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth.

Chen Zhaoyue quickly raised the candy high, and his voice suddenly became stern: "No, you didn't turn it right just now, turn it again!"

Her eyes were as sharp as torches, closely watching every move of the fool.

Silly Dan looked at the candy with a sad face, and finally turned around again reluctantly.

The sunlight shone on his clumsy figure, casting a distorted shadow on the ground.

Chen Zhaoyue narrowed her eyes, her voice soft but unyielding: "Turn around again."

Looks like, very similar!

However, she needed to confirm whether Shadan was the person he met that day!

This time, Shadan was obviously stunned for a moment, and paused for a moment before obediently turning around again.

The young people watching nearby couldn't help but say, "We're just spinning around. Why is the idiot spinning around?"

Another person scratched his head and speculated worriedly, "Isn't the idiot seriously ill? That's why the young doctor kept him turning around?"

Chen Zhaoyue didn't explain immediately. After Shadan finished spinning, he handed the candy to him.

Silly Dan grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently.

"Young doctor, how is Silly? Is he seriously ill?" The two young men asked worriedly, rubbing the corners of their clothes with their fingers nervously.

"It's okay. I noticed that his spine was a little scoliotic, so I asked him to turn around a few more times so I could see more clearly." She made up an excuse casually, her voice as calm as if she was discussing today's weather.

Although the two young men were confused by what they heard, they felt relieved when they saw Dr. Shen so calm and composed.

"Silly boy." Chen Zhaoyue pointed at the pulse pillow and coaxed him again: "Can you sit down and let your sister take your pulse?"

She appeared gentle on the surface, but in fact she was closely watching Shadan's every reaction.

Silly Egg was licking the candy with gusto. Upon hearing this, he tilted his head and suddenly grinned: "Sister is beautiful! Silly Egg, be obedient!"

As he said that, he sat down on the stool, not at all like he was at the beginning.

A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Zhaoyue's mind. This reaction was a bit too cooperative.

She calmly took Shadan's wrist pulse, and the touch under her fingertips made her frown slightly.

The pulse was steady and strong, with an even rhythm, completely unlike the chaotic pulse commonly seen in mentally retarded people.

Chen Zhaoyue frowned slightly: Although brain damage may not necessarily affect the pulse, it is too strange that such a standard healthy pulse appears in a person who has been "stupid for many years".

"Young doctor, can this fool be cured?" Seeing her stop, the two young men hurried forward to ask, their dark faces full of anticipation.

"It can be cured." Chen Zhaoyue nodded and took out a bag of silver needles from the medicine box, but his peripheral vision was closely watching Shadan's reaction: "But brain problems cannot be cured in one go."

She deliberately unfolded the needle bag, and the silver needles gleamed coldly in the sunlight: "This requires long-term treatment."

Silly Dan was still licking the candy with gusto, but when he heard the words, he paused almost imperceptibly and then returned to his silly look.

"Does it require long-term treatment?" The two young men looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

Everyone knows that Doctor Shen is only here for a short-term free clinic and will be leaving Kangzhuang Village in a few days. What will happen to Shadan's illness then?

Chen Zhaoyue saw their concerns and said gently, "Let's treat it first. It's better to treat it than not to treat it."

As he spoke, he took out a few silver needles, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight: "Come, help me hold him down."

Two young men hurried forward and held Shadan's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

Silly Dan was licking the candy foolishly, but the moment he saw the silver needle, his pupils shrank almost imperceptibly and his body tensed slightly.

"Be good, silly boy. Sister will give you an acupuncture. It won't hurt." Chen Zhaoyue's voice was soft, but she deliberately slowed down her movements, wanting to see if this "silly" person could continue to pretend when facing the silver needles.

Just as the needle tip was about to touch the acupuncture point, Shadan suddenly struggled violently, almost knocking over the two young men holding him down. "It hurts! Shadan is afraid of pain!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shadan actually avoided the acupuncture point where she wanted to give him acupuncture.

…

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Zhaoyue’s eyes: Such a reaction does not seem like that of a real fool!

"Silly boy, the young doctor is here to treat you." The young man next to him tried to comfort him, patting him lightly on the back with his rough hands, but he shook them off violently.

"No! It hurts! It hurts!" Shadan shook his head desperately with astonishing force.

The two strong young men couldn't hold him down for a while, and he made them stumble back.

Seeing this, Chen Zhaoyue calmly put away the silver needle and said, "It's okay, let's not get acupuncture today."

Her voice was gentle, but there was a sharp glint in her eyes.

People who are not sick naturally do not need treatment.

Besides, what she wanted to confirm was now very clear.

"Young doctor, this..." One of the young men hesitated, thinking that this treatment opportunity was hard-won and he didn't want to miss it.

"It's okay." Chen Zhaoyue smiled and took some herbs out of her bag: "I'll get some medicine, you can take it back and let Silly Egg drink it."

As she spoke, she wrapped up the medicine and handed it over: "Although it will heal slower, it will be more convenient for long-term treatment."

The two young men agreed. Although there was no doctor in their village, it was still easier to get medicine than to see a doctor.

They looked at each other and hurried forward to take the medicine bag: "Thank you, little doctor!"

"You're welcome." Shen Zhaoyue smiled.

"Young doctor, let's take Shadan back first!" After comforting Shadan, the young man said goodbye to Shen Zhaoyue.

Chen Zhaoyue waved his hand and watched the two of them pulling Shadan away.

Just as Shadan was about to walk out of the courtyard, Chen Zhaoyue suddenly jumped up from the chair, his hands clenched unconsciously.

She stared at the slightly hunched back.

Although Shadan deliberately changed his expression and posture to pretend to be stupid, his walking posture couldn't deceive anyone!

"It's him!" Chen Zhaoyue's voice was so soft that only she could hear it, but her tone was firm.

Chen Zhaoyue was certain that the figure he saw on the mountain that day was undoubtedly Shadan!

The sunlight shone on her tense profile, reflecting a pair of eyes as sharp as knives.

She watched Shadan being led away, and her right hand unconsciously touched her waist.

For a moment, Chen Zhaoyue's fingertips were already pressing on the silver needle bag, and he was almost rushing forward to subdue the enemy spy on the spot.

But just as Shadan's figure was about to disappear around the corner, she suddenly woke up.

Any rash action will only alert the enemy. Who knows how many accomplices this enemy spy, who has been lurking for many years, has in the village?

The petals of the pear tree fell silently. Chen Zhaoyue took a deep breath and quickly restrained his outward emotions.

She neatly packed up the equipment for the free clinic and when she turned to go back into the house, her steps had returned to their usual calmness.

"I have to tell my uncle as soon as possible!" Chen Zhaoyue muttered to himself and took out an empty lunch box from the cabinet.

Carrying the empty lunch box, Chen Zhaoyue came out of the mud house and gently closed the creaking courtyard door.

Although she was extremely anxious, she had to maintain her normal pace.

Not long after Chen Zhaoyue left, he met Jia Zheng who was about to go look for Sun Xingxing.

"Where are you going, young doctor?" Jia Zheng greeted with a smile. His voice was so loud that it could be heard within a radius of ten meters, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

He thought that he would have to pass through the village when he went to find Sun Xingxing, so he might as well stop by to see how Chen Zhaoyue was doing. He didn't expect to see her going out.

Chen Zhaoyue understood and deliberately raised her voice: "It just so happens that there are no patients. I'm going to return Comrade Wang Dazhi's lunch box!"

As she spoke, she shook the food box in her hand so that Jia Zheng could see it more clearly.

When Jia Zheng heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart.

Doctor Shen obviously has an emergency and is anxious to report to the team leader!

He rolled his eyes and came forward with a smile: "I just happened to be going to bring him some water, why don't we go together!"

Although he had nothing in his hands, others saw his words as that of a young man who was just trying to take the opportunity to get close to Dr. Shen.

After all, there are many young people in the village who want to do this, but they just don’t have the opportunity.

When the villagers passing by saw this, they just thought it was a young man's romantic feelings and didn't think too much about it.

"Okay!" Shen Zhaoyue agreed with a smile.

The two people walked side by side. Although there was some distance between them, they spoke in low voices so that no one could hear them.

After turning around a dirt wall and confirming that there was no one around, Chen Zhaoyue quickly glanced around and said in a low voice: "I found the person on the mountain!"

Her voice was very soft, but it sounded like a thunderclap in Jia Zheng's ears.

Jia Zheng paused slightly, then returned to normal.

They were in trouble and were getting anxious, but they didn't expect that Chen Zhaoyue had found the person.

Jia Zheng's tone was a little excited: "Where is it?"

"It's the guy called Shadan from the village." Chen Zhaoyue lowered his voice and told what had just happened: "He was pretending to be crazy! The way he walked can't deceive people, I can confirm that it is him!"

As she spoke, she calmly shifted the food box to her other hand: "We must quickly inform Yanxi that this idiot is no ordinary person. I'm afraid he has been lurking in the village for many years."

When Jia Zheng heard Shen Zhaoyue's confirmation, his eyes lit up: "Great! We have been keeping an eye on Jin Qing for the past two days, but we haven't had any other clues. We are getting anxious."

Now that the person who sent the telegram has been found, they can close the net as soon as possible.

Jia Zheng seemed to have seen the dawn of mission completion, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

But the next second, his expression suddenly became serious: "However, since the person has been confirmed, Doctor Shen, you have to leave as soon as possible!"

Chen Zhaoyue paused slightly and was about to retort when Jia Zheng continued, "When the enemy spies discovered their identities were exposed, the first person they suspected was you, the one who parachuted into this village."

Jia Zheng didn’t even need to explain how dangerous it would be at that time.

Jia Zheng said sternly, "The captain will never agree to you taking any more risks."

Chen Zhaoyue pursed her lips. She knew that what Jia Zheng said was right. It was indeed not suitable for her to stay in the village any longer.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have something to ask the village chief!" Shen Zhaoyue suddenly raised his voice.

Under Jia Zheng's stunned gaze, he stuffed the empty lunch box into his hand and said, "I'm going to get rid of this lunch box. Please help me return it to Comrade Wang Dazhi!"

In order not to hold Wen Yanxi back, she decided to go to the village chief to say goodbye now.

If she leaves early tomorrow morning, she can protect herself. If the enemy spies are already on guard, they might relax their vigilance because of her departure.

Jia Zheng held the food box and looked at her receding figure. After a little thought, he reacted.

He withdrew his gaze, calmly tucked the lunch box under his arm, and strode towards the field.

"Why are you here again?" In the field, Wen Yanxi straightened up and frowned when he saw Jia Zheng striding towards him.

Sweat slid down his angular jaw, gleaming in the sunlight.

Jia Zheng grinned and said, "Come and help the little doctor return the lunch box!"

…

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the village blood red.

As usual, Shadan strolled slowly around the village.

He held a grass stem in his mouth, laughed foolishly from time to time, and occasionally squatted down to poke ants with a branch, just like a child who had not grown up.

No one would be suspicious of his naive appearance.

He walked and stopped like this, and slowly arrived at the door of Zhang Qing's house.

What was strange was that Zhang Qing, who usually stayed indoors, now had the courtyard door wide open and was sitting on the doorstep smoking a pipe.

The sparks from the pipe flickered in the twilight, illuminating his wrinkled face.

"There's something wrong with Zhang Qing! He suddenly became so abnormal, there must be something wrong!" Jia Zheng, who was hiding behind the haystack, lowered his voice and said to Wen Yanxi beside him.

After he told Wen Yanxi the information Chen Zhaoyue had found out in the afternoon, the investigation plan had already changed.

Shadan is not like Zhang Qing. He has been hanging around in the village, so it is too easy to be discovered if he is followed.

So Sun Xingxing was only allowed to walk around the village to find out about Shadan's specific situation.

Wen Yanxi from Zhang Qing's side asked Jia Zheng to follow him to keep watch, but he didn't expect that he would discover an abnormal situation so soon.

"Shut up!" Wen Yanxi shouted without turning his head, his sharp eyes always fixed on Zhang Qing.

The excited Jia Zheng shuddered, shrank his neck in disappointment, and dared not say another word.

In the dilapidated courtyard, Zhang Qing saw Shadan walking outside the yard. He immediately put down his pipe and stood up from the threshold.

"Silly boy, come here!" Zhang Qing waved outside and shouted, "Help this old man carry a cabinet."

Silly Dan smiled and nodded, then skipped into the house.

The moment the two entered the room, the door slammed shut, completely blocking out the outside world's view.

Jia Zheng was so angry that his teeth itched and he pounded his fist on the haystack beside him: "Damn it, you're really pretending!"

He growled through gritted teeth, "If it weren't for Dr. Shen's sharp eyes, who would have thought that this 'idiot' was an enemy spy?"

As dusk deepened, a cold glint flashed in Wen Yanxi's eyes.

If Chen Zhaoyue hadn't delivered the news today, even if they had waited for this incident tonight, they probably wouldn't have blamed this fool once they understood it.

No one would be suspicious of Shadan's natural foolish look just now.

At this moment, the silly smile on Shadan's face disappeared instantly when he stepped into Zhang Qing's house.

His hunched back suddenly straightened, his eyes sharp as an eagle, he was completely different from the person just now, no one would associate the two people together.

Under the dim light, the originally dull face was now full of shrewdness and alertness.

"Your disguise is getting better and better!" Zhang Qing changed his usual withdrawn appearance, patted Shadan's shoulder with a smile on his face, and said in a voice full of praise: "What's going on in the village recently?"

Shadan casually pulled off the grass stem in his mouth and said disdainfully, "There are two new faces. They said that the farming is busy recently, and the grandson of the Wang family came back from the city to help."

He had been paying attention to it since Wen Yanxi entered the village, but he didn't see any problems, so he stopped caring about it later: "I've been watching it, I'm in the fields every day, and I didn't see any problems."

Zhang Qing nodded. Kangzhuang Village was a big village after all. Many young men went to the city to work and would come back from time to time. It was not surprising.

The flame of the kerosene lamp flickered, and Shadan suddenly grinned, revealing a wicked look that was completely different from his previous foolishness. "There's also an educated youth who came for the free clinic. That city girl is really pretty."

Recalling the process of seeing the doctor today, Shadan licked his lips with a sense of satisfaction: "Today, under the pretext of seeing the doctor, I got to know her quite a bit."

Zhang Qing frowned upon hearing this and tapped his pipe on the corner of the table: "Don't make things complicated!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm not you. I can only get information by contacting more people." Shadan didn't care at all.

"Something's been going wrong in the village these past couple of days," Zhang Qing said in a low voice, his brow furrowed. "I feel like someone's watching me."

The fool then put away his frivolous expression and said, "I didn't notice anything unusual, but since you said so, I'll be more careful."

Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them had a brief conversation.

About a quarter of an hour later, the door creaked open again.

Shadan returned to his silly look, with a simple smile on his face and a few sweet potatoes covered in dirt in his hands.

"Hehe, these are the sweet potatoes grandpa gave me..." He mumbled incoherently and skipped out of the yard like a silly child who had received a reward.

Zhang Qing watched him walk away, closed the door again, and even turned off the lights in the room.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the entire village was plunged into thick darkness.

Wen Yanxi and Jia Zheng then quietly evacuated from the haystack where they were hiding, and passed silently across the country path like two shadows.

In the Wang family courtyard, the three people gathered together again.

"That idiot has been in contact with everyone in the village." Sun Xingxing reported in a low voice, his fingers drawing a route on the map: "He's an idiot who survives by eating at other people's houses. It's too difficult to track his whereabouts."

It can be said that there is no place in the entire Kangzhuang Village that Shadan has not been to.

Jia Zheng frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "Does he often go into other villagers' homes?"

Sun Xingxing recalled carefully and shook his head: "No, he just wandered around in the yard most of the time, and occasionally came into the house for a few minutes."

He sighed as he spoke: "The villagers just asked him to chop wood and sweep the floor, and gave him a meal. It was just charity."

In Kangzhuang Village, Shadan is a person who eats food from many families.

But upon hearing this, Jia Zheng suddenly turned to Wen Yanxi, his eyes flashing: "Captain, he's been at Zhang Qing's house for almost twenty minutes!"

His voice was extremely low, but he couldn't hide his excitement: "How can it take twenty minutes to move a cabinet? There's definitely something wrong!"

Wen Yanxi's stern face flickered under the oil lamp, and there seemed to be cold stars twinkling in his deep eyes.

"Captain, now that we know who the two people are, why don't we just arrest them?" Sun Xingxing waited for a moment and finally couldn't help but speak.

The young face flushed with excitement under the light of the oil lamp. He didn't expect that he could capture the enemy spy with his own hands on his first mission!

Jia Zheng also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Commander, Zhang Qing and Shadan have been confirmed to be enemy spies. What are we waiting for?"

Wen Yanxi's eyes darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Zhang Qing lives alone, so it's okay. But Shadan hangs out with the villagers all day long."

He drew a line on the map with his fingertips: "Once we take action, we must ensure the safety of the villagers."

The flame of the oil lamp suddenly jumped, making the tense faces of the three people even more solemn.

Wen Yanxi continued, "More importantly, we must capture both of them at the same time."
