Chapter 105 Idle Chatter About Ghosts

  Wang Xinlan and Wei Zhonghua were taken aback by Xiao Yu's words, could it be that just one dose of medicine would cure her? Wang Xinlan was a bit worried, so she asked Xiao Yu, "Will taking this medicine for three days really cure me? Should I take it for two more days?"

  Wei Zhonghua was also very moved on the side, in their opinion, even a minor illness would take more than ten days to recover, let alone such a big thing as his son's injury, taking a few more doses of medicine to consolidate wouldn't be bad.

  Xiao Yu heard Wang Xinlan's words and was immediately at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. Taking medicine wasn't a good thing, one dose of medicine could cure the illness, why did he need to take more?

  However, Wei Jun's parents, Xiao Yu, would not say so. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Auntie, don't eat too much, Jun is weak now, and this medicine is a tonic. One dose can make up for it, no need to eat too much, eating too much will also be bad!"

  "Oh.... is this medicine really okay? I've already asked an old friend to bring back a top-grade wild ginseng from the capital, do you want to eat it? Taking more tonic medicine won't hurt, right?" Wei Zhonghua hesitantly responded and continued to say.

  "Uncle, tonics are also medicine. Medicine has three parts poison, can't be eaten randomly!" Xiao Yu said to Wei Zhonghua who was looking at him.

  "Brother Jun, you can go back and live there now, your house is fine!" Xiao Yu said to Wei Jun who was still sitting on the sofa with lingering fear.

  "Oh, okay...... Wait, what did you just say, Xiao Yu? It's all over?" Wei Jun replied before he realized it and his face was filled with shock.

  Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan were also stunned by Xiao Ye's words. Is that okay? But how is it possible? That's a ghost! Although the two had never believed in ghosts and gods before, at their age, they still maintained some reverence for these things. Just like Wei Zhonghua, who would sometimes go to famous mountains and temples to burn incense and make wishes.

  And Wang Xinlan was in contact with those ladies who had nothing to do all day but talk about these things, which made her very much believe in Feng Shui and ghosts, otherwise she wouldn't have found two Taoist priests to catch the ghost.

  Especially after hearing the things that the two swindlers and the son said, they became even more convinced of the existence of ghosts and gods. They had just discussed it in the car and decided to find a real master to catch the ghost tomorrow.

  They had just discussed it on the road, and Xiao Yu called to say that he was coming over. They thought Xiao Yu was also afraid, or that he had encountered a ghost somewhere and ran out in fright. But now Xiao Yu told them that everything was fine there. If everything is fine, where did the ghost go? Did it run away by itself?

  They thought of all sorts of possibilities, but none of them had expected that the ghost was killed by Xiao Ye. After all, Xiao Ye was young and didn't know that from TV shows, movies, and friends' discussions, it was usually Taoist priests and Buddhist masters who caught ghosts. So when they heard that everything was fine in Wei Jun's house, their faces were filled with disbelief.

  Xiao Yu saw their appearance and knew they didn't believe him. Xiao Yu helplessly shook his head and said, "I used to learn some folk remedies for driving out ghosts from my grandfather, which can still deal with some unclean things. However, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I burned the painting of Jun Ge."

  Unable to help it, Xiao Yu brought out his already deceased grandfather. Upon hearing Xiao Yu say this, Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan finally revealed a look of sudden realization. Both Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan had previously gone to the countryside to be educated through labor, so they knew that some people in rural areas had methods to restrain ghosts. At the time, they were arrogant and looked down on these things as ignorant superstitions of country folk. However, these individuals held a relatively high position in the rural villages at the time, and they also took Xiao Yu's grandfather for this kind of person.

  "Xiao Yu, I didn't know you were capable of these things!" Wei Jun was familiar with antiques and naturally knew that there were people like this in rural areas. However, he had previously looked down on such people, thinking they could only deceive rural folk. Now, he finally believed that their existence in rural areas made some sense.

  "Brother Wei, we've never encountered these things before. I couldn't possibly say that I can catch ghosts every time I meet someone, or else people would think I'm crazy!" Xiao Yu said with a displeased look at Wei Jun, feeling deeply annoyed by his question.

  "Xiao Yu, sit down quickly! Sit down!" It was only then that they remembered Xiao Yu had been standing in the living room all along.

  Seeing Xiao You sit down, Wei Jun said: "If it's going to be burned, then burn it. If you don't burn it, I'll have to burn it myself!"

  "Towards... towards... if it's going to be burned, then just burn it. What's the point of keeping that kind of thing that brings harm to people?" Wang Xinlan hastily added.

  "Who would have thought that ghosts really exist!" Wei Jun exclaimed, his heart still racing with fear. He had never believed in the existence of ghosts before, but now he couldn't deny it, especially since he had encountered one himself.

  "Hehe, ghosts aren't actually that scary!" Xiao Yu said with a light laugh.

  When Xiao Yu mentioned the ghost, Wei Zhonghua, Wang Xinlan and Wei Jun all showed a listening expression, afraid of missing every word that Xiao Yu said.

  "Ghosts are actually just a kind of mental energy that people have after they die, this mental energy is very weak and can't harm people at all. Only some people with weak bodies will have their willpower lowered, thus being affected by this mental energy and having hallucinations in their minds. Generally, people with strong bodies or strong willpower will never be influenced by ghosts!" Xiao Yu thought for a moment before giving a simple explanation to avoid causing the Wei family to panic.

  "That little Jun's body isn't weak either! How could he have encountered a ghost?" Wang Xinlan asked, looking at her son after hearing Xiao Ye's account.

  "Auntie, Jun Ge's body is not weak, so that ghost would only wait until Jun Ge fell asleep and use a dream to deal with him. It must be a spring dream, otherwise how could that ghost have succeeded so easily!" Xiao Yu explained.

  Upon hearing this, Wang Xinlan's expression turned calm and composed. She glanced at her son and thought to herself, "It seems it's time for me to find him a wife."

  The Wei family heard Xiao Yu's explanation and only then did they realize that ghosts weren't so scary after all, no more terrifying than an ordinary person who had also let out a long breath.

  The thousands of years of legend of Huaxia made them have a deep respect for ghosts, but after hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, the fear in their hearts gradually faded a lot.

  "Ding dong......ding dong......" The sound of a doorbell rang out.

  "It should be Old Liu! I'll go open the door!" Wei Zhonghua said after thinking for a moment upon hearing the doorbell.

  "Lao Wei asked a friend to get some top-grade wild ginseng, it should be delivered now." Seeing Wei Zhonghua go open the door, Wang Xinlan smiled and explained.

  If it were in the past, Wang Xinlan would not have explained herself in front of a younger generation, but since knowing that Xiao Ye could catch ghosts, Wang Xinlan's attitude towards Xiao Ye had changed unconsciously, no longer treating him as a junior, but as an equal.

  "Old Wei, fortunate not to disappoint! Fifty years of top-grade wild mountain ginseng!" A hearty laugh from a man suddenly echoed at the entrance.

  "Alright, alright, thank you Old Liu, you've gone to a lot of trouble! Please come in quickly!" Wei Zhonghua hastened to say when he heard the man's words.

  Before long, the two walked into the living room and saw that the visitor, Xiao Yu, had a strange expression on his face. The visitor, Xiao Yu, was also familiar with him, and it turned out to be Liu Benchang, the general manager of Renhe Hall.

  Liu Benchang followed Wei Zhonghua into the living room and saw Xiao Ye sitting on the sofa, his expression was stunned, and he said: "Dr. Xiao? What are you doing here?"

  "Hello Director Liu, Wei Jun and I are classmates, I came to see him!" Xiao Yu heard Liu Benchang's words and stood up to say.

  "What? Do you know each other?" Seeing the looks on their faces, Wei Zhonghua showed a surprised expression and blurted out.

  In his opinion, how could Xiao Yu, an intern in a medical room, know Liu Benchang, a business elite?

  "Acquaintance, met once, Dr. Xiao's benevolent heart and skill!" Liu Benchang exclaimed as he looked at Xiao Yu.

  After everyone sat down, Liu Benchang began to talk about what Xiao Yu did on the plane. Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan listened, secretly exclaiming in their hearts, unexpectedly Xiao Yu really had such good medical skills, they thought that their son was intentionally exaggerating Xiao Yu's medical skills, but it turned out to be true.

  "Lao Wei, you're not being honest!" Liu Benchang suddenly complained to Wei Zhonghua.

  As for Liu Benchang's words, Wei Zhonghua was bewildered and couldn't help but ask: "Old Liu, honestly! What's wrong with me?"

  "You said you didn't want to bother me, but you had me fly all the way here. Aren't you just trying to humor me? The ginseng at Dr. Xiao's place is much better than mine!" Liu Benchang said with a resentful face.

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhonghua didn't wait for a response and turned to ask Xiao Yu: "Dr. Xiao, how about it? Thirty thousand per piece, what do you think?"

  Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "Director Liu, don't mention it again. I won't sell this thing. You should know that it can be a lifesaver at critical moments. If I sell it, it'll be hard to find another one later!"

  As for the ginseng left by his uncle, he won't sell it. He doesn't have much of this stuff, there are only eight pieces here, and at his old home, less than half a root is left. This thing belongs to that kind of thing that can be encountered but not sought after, once sold, you can't find it again!

  Liu Benchang heard Xiao Yu's words, his expression turned gloomy and he nodded slightly. He also knew that this thing was precious, otherwise he wouldn't have tried every means to raise the price to buy it! At this moment, hearing Xiao Yu's words, he knew that Xiao Yu would never sell it no matter what, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

  "Lao Liu, what are you two talking about?" Wei Zhonghua overheard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but ask curiously.

  Liu Benchang shook his head in disappointment and said: "I want to buy Dr. Xiao's ginseng, but Dr. Xiao won't sell it!"

  "Haha, what's going on? Your family isn't in the herbal medicine business? You have even 50-year-old wild ginseng here, why would you buy cultivated ginseng?"

  After listening to Liu Benchang's words, Wei Zhonghua was still wondering what it was for, and when he heard that it was just buying ginseng, he couldn't help but lift up the wooden box brought by Liu Benchang.

  Wei Zhonghua knew the preciousness of ginseng, for his son's illness, he ran through the entire deep sea and didn't find a decent ginseng. The small pharmacy had fake ginseng, and the large pharmacy's ginseng with three to five years of age was considered good. In desperation, he thought of a friend Liu Benchang.
