Volume 1: Spirit Marriage Chapter 56: Mysterious Phone Call

  Several boys came over one after another, surrounding me, Zhang Yunhao and Wu Lele. Fan Feng said that either we break the leg that kicked his car just now, or compensate him for money. Zhang asked how much money to compensate, Fan Feng stretched out his thumb and little finger and said: "Six hundred." Huang Mao immediately shouted: "Brother Feng, only six hundred? You are too generous!" Fan Feng said that it was only six hundred. I understood, it turned out that this kid had been cheated of 600 yuan by Zhang Yunhao last night and had been resentful about it, today he came to vent his anger.

  Zhang Yunhao hummed: "Six hundred? You're dreaming, not a single hair!" Huang Mao leaned in and raised his fist to hit Zhang Yunhao, but suddenly someone walked in and stretched out their hand to block Huang Mao. I saw that the person was actually Zhao Dongyang, and when Huang Mao saw him, he seemed taken aback for a moment, withdrew his hand, and muttered: "Zhao Dongyang, this is our business, don't interfere." Zhao Dongyang said calmly: "They're my friends, forget it." Fan Feng took a step forward, staring at Zhao Dongyang and asking: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs?" Zhao Dongyang let out a light hum and ignored him. Huang Mao hastily blocked Fan Feng, saying: "Forget it, Peak Brother, let's go." As he spoke, he glanced at the several boys beside him, who then pushed Fan Feng away together.

  Suddenly, I felt that Zhao Dongyang was very cool. I couldn't help but look at him with new eyes. Zhao Dongyang glanced at us and said that class was about to start, so let's go to the classroom. If there's anything, you can find him. After he finished speaking, he walked towards the teaching building.

  I exchanged a glance with Zhang Yunhao, and Zhang Yunhao said that this Zhao guy has two brushes, and that yellow-haired dog is actually afraid of him, why? I remembered what Zhong Ling'er said last night, if Zhao Dongyang is indeed the grandson of that legendary old lady, then maybe Zhao Dongyang has an extraordinary skill like Zhong Ling'er. Perhaps Huang Mao had seen his strength and means before, so he was cautious.

  Wu Lele looked at Zhao Dongyang's back and didn't say a word.

  After finding the classroom, we each went to class. No more nonsense. Just in between, a short episode appeared. After the second lesson, we had to change classrooms. I was about to follow my classmates out when a girl came towards me and asked for my phone number. Seeing that she was a stranger with a pretty face, I was surprised why she would ask for my phone number. Was it because she liked me? I didn't expect this country boy's charm to be so great, being liked by a beauty just after class started. At the time, I was quite pleased with myself and gave her my phone number. She stored my phone number in her phone and left without saying anything else.

  After class, I made an appointment with Zhang Yunhao to wait under the teaching building. As soon as I saw him, I was about to show off, but I saw that girl walking with Niu Niu. I thought to myself, could it be that Niu Niu asked her to ask for my phone number? But this doesn't make sense, Niu Niu seems to have been looking at us with a bad expression all along, she has no reason to ask for my phone number. So I swallowed back the words I was about to say and just waited for the other party to make contact, maybe then I could figure out the mystery.

  After school, we discussed whether to go to the cave in Panlong Mountain tonight. Since someone died there yesterday, both Zhang Yunhao and I had some concerns. Wu Lele was very much in favor of going, but I said let's not go for now. Someone died there, and we don't know the cause of death. The police will definitely be patrolling nearby, what if they mistake us for murderers? Curiosity can kill a cat, and it can also kill people.

  The meeting is over, and everyone returned to their rooms.

  We have a computer basics course, now that we have computers, I take out the textbook and follow the tutorial to practice, in the midst of hard work, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number, my heart skipped a beat, could it be the girl who asked for my phone number today? I was extremely curious, wanting to know who the other person was, so I almost eagerly answered, but as soon as I heard the other person's voice, my heart turned cold.

  It is a man's voice, and the voice is low and old.

  "Can you see a patient?" the other party asked. I was stunned for a moment, and asked who are you? The other party asked again: "Can you see a patient?" I thought secretly, I can see ghosts a bit, but seeing humans is not guaranteed, so I said I won't, you dialed the wrong number, after finishing, I wanted to hang up, but heard the other party ask again: "Can you see ghosts?" I quickly put the phone back to my ear and asked: "Who are you? Do I know you?" The other party said: "You don't know me, I just want to know if you can see a patient or not." I hesitated for a moment, stuttering and answering: "I...can a bit, what's wrong?" The other party said: "If you can, please come to my place and have a chat, there is a patient at home who wants to ask you to take a look."

  My heart skipped a beat, the other party knew I would treat ghosts, did they want me to treat a ghost? Unless necessary, I wouldn't treat a ghost. I tactfully declined him, saying I wouldn't treat illnesses, let alone ghosts, you've got the wrong person, after that I hung up the phone.

  As far as I know, there are only a handful of people who know that I can see ghosts and give them medical treatment. In fact, apart from Zhang Yunhao and Wu Lele, it seems like no one else knows about this. So how did that person just now find out?

  Just as I was in a state of confusion, my phone rang again. I saw that it was the same number from earlier, so I answered it and asked him what he wanted. He said: "There's a patient at my house who has been ill for a long time and can't be cured. If you can help me cure her, name your price."

  Those last four words are very tempting, I bought a laptop and almost spent all my money, I urgently need money, is this a heaven-sent opportunity?

  I asked tentatively: "What if I don't recover?" The other person said: "Even if you don't recover, as long as you can come, I'll give you a sum of hardship allowance."

  "How much?"

  "You set the price, according to market rules."

  Only the ghost knows the rules of this line, I thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll come to your place to take a look, I can't guarantee that I can cure it." The other party immediately responded: "Good, as long as you can come and do your best, I will never let you come in vain." I said okay, send me your address.

  I hung up the phone and I'm a little excited. Before things get results, people always have a lucky psychology, I am now like this, I know that I don't understand medicine, and I also know that the patient who has been suffering from illness for a long time, I really can't cure her, but another side of my heart is thinking, maybe I'm lucky, just like a cat hitting a dead mouse, maybe I'll accidentally cure the disease. Moreover, the other party said that even if it's not cured, if I go, they will still give me a sum of hard work fee.

  Received the information, it was an address sent by the other party, I saw that it was in this city, so I decided to let Zhang Yunhao accompany me, mainly because he had a car. So, I knocked on Zhang Yunhao's door and told him about the situation. Zhang Yunhao seemed to be thinking deeply and said that if I went to see the patient at night, it was very likely that the other party was a ghost. If things went well, I would gain both fame and fortune; if things didn't go well, there would be more harm than good.

  Will you gain both fame and wealth? Or will misfortune befall you? I asked him to explain. Zhang Yunhao said: "Only I know that you are a ghost doctor, the fact that the other party knows you are a ghost doctor means that you have already gained some reputation in the ghost world. If you can successfully cure the ghost's illness this time, your reputation in the ghost world will become more and more renowned, and once you gain fame, wealth will naturally follow."

  I don't agree with this point, for example, my father is a real ghost doctor, even the lonely and pitiful red-clothed female ghost knows his great name and comes to ask him to see a doctor, it can be seen that my father is already famous in the ghost world, but why is my family still so poor?

  "As for the saying 'many disasters and few blessings', that means you didn't cure the other person's illness, they're having a hard time because of you, and even want you to pay with your life. In that case, it's highly likely that you'll go but not return."

  I also disagree with this point. Now is a society ruled by law, and ideology and morality should not be so depraved? If the disease cannot be cured, it will be difficult for doctors? It's completely unreasonable.

  I said your two points are based on the assumption that the other party is a ghost, but what if the other party is not a ghost, but a human?

  Zhang Yunhao said, no matter if it's a person or a ghost, just go and take a look to know.

  We two hit it off immediately, so we said hello to Wu Lele and told her that we were going out for a walk. We asked Wu Lele to stay home and guard the house, but she also wanted to come along. I said it was too late and not good for girls to go out, as there are many bad people outside and the security is very poor. Zhang Yunhao immediately chimed in: "Yes, I just saw the news that a girl from our school died nearby, and it's said that she was killed brutally with all her blood drained and her heart dug out!"

  This is also too exaggerated, I thought Zhang Yunhao was scaring Wu Lele, so I didn't pay attention. Wu Lele isn't stupid and said "Who would believe you?" thinking of scaring me, no way! Zhang Yunhao said if you don't believe it, you can go see now, and he pulled Wu Lele into his room, to his computer screen, pointing at the screen saying: "Look, this webpage is still open."

  I went up to take a look and was shocked, I didn't expect someone had really died. The situation was almost the same as what Zhang Yunhao said. Wu Lele looked at it for a long time without making a sound. Zhang Yunhao said: "Now do you believe me? Stay home obediently and don't go anywhere. If someone comes to open the door, just say 'I won't open it, I won't open it'. Knife brother and Hao brother haven't come back yet."

  Wu Lele was indeed frightened and didn't catch up.

  After going downstairs, I asked Zhang Yunhao how he knew about that news. He said he was originally looking for information about the old man who died in Xuanlong Mountain Xiandong, wanting to understand the situation, but unexpectedly found this piece of news instead.

  It seems Zhang Yunhao is more thoughtful than me.

  I said if the news isn't fake, then that murdered girl is also too pitiful, drained of blood and had her heart dug out. How much hatred must there be? Zhang Yunhao said yes, the murderer was ruthless, poor little flower girl, sigh! I don't know if she was... before being killed.

  According to the address sent in the message, we easily found our way there, and what appeared before us was a villa. Zhang Yunhao said that it seems the other party was right, as long as you can come, there will be a labor fee, and if you have money, you can be arbitrary, this time you will make some money. I took out my mobile phone and called the other party, saying that I had arrived, and the other party said they would send someone to pick me up immediately.

  Zhang Yunhao and I got off the bus together.

  At this moment, a strong light shot from behind, and we turned our heads to see a small car rushing towards us at high speed.
