Chapter 57 Mr Qian

  Zhang Yunhao and I were both startled, hastily dodging to the side. The car suddenly stopped about a meter away from us, then the headlights went out, and two people jumped down from the car, one on each side.

  Unexpectedly, it was Fan Feng and Niu Niu.

  Zhang Yunhao immediately rushed to Fan Feng and scolded: "Are you blind? How can you drive like that? Do you want to kill me?" Fan Feng said with a smile: "If I wanted to hit you, I would have done it earlier. Just now, I was just testing your courage to see how scared you were!" Zhang Yunhao cursed and was about to jump up and fight, but I held him back and told him not to be impulsive, lest he create more trouble.

  Niang Niang looked at me and Zhang Yunhao, and coldly asked: "What are you doing here?" Zhang Yunhao responded: "None of your business!" Niang Niang slightly raised her head and said: "This is my home!" Zhang Yunhao wanted to respond again, but I stopped him and told Niang Niang that we were there to see a patient, someone in her family was ill. Niang Niang's eyes widened, staring at me and saying: "It's your family that has someone sick!"

  I suddenly remembered the girl who asked for my phone number during the day, wasn't she with Niu Niu? Is this a trap set by Niu Niu, intentionally calling me here to cheat us?

  Zhang Yunhao looked at Niu Niu from head to toe and said with a serious expression, "I'm the one who's sick, and I'm quite seriously ill."

  "Yu-" Yu wanted to make a move, but the iron door suddenly opened and a man walked out from inside. He called out "Yu" and I saw that he was over 30 years old, very tall and slightly thin, with a dignified appearance. As soon as Yu saw him, she respectfully called out "Uncle Yi". The man nodded and looked at me and Zhang Yunhao, asking politely: "Which of you two is the doctor?" I said it was me, and he introduced himself as Qian Yi, then asked for my name. After that, he told Yu: "This Dr. Yang is a doctor your father invited, you must not be rude to him." Yu gave me a white eye and bluntly asked: "Who's sick at home? Why did they invite him here? Can he really diagnose illnesses?"

  I felt annoyed when I heard this, and I wanted to lose my temper, but then I thought, as a doctor, I wouldn't stoop to the same level as this little girl. So I restrained myself. Zhang Yunhao spoke bluntly and shouted at Niu Niu: "Of course, we'll take a look! Do you want us to examine you first?" Niu Niu raised her head again, ready to argue with Zhang Yunhao, but Qian Yi hastily intervened, saying: "Alright, Niu Niu, go inside with Mr. Fan first." Niu Niu snorted and stormed into the iron gate.

  Qian Yi looked at Zhang Junhao, politely asked: "Who is this?" I said it was my friend and also introduced him. Qian Yi nodded, led us into the living room, asked Zhang Junhao to sit down, and then told me: "Dr. Yang, please follow me."

  I saw Zhang Yun's eyebrows furrowed, as if he had discovered something strange, but it was not convenient to ask him at this time. I asked him to wait for me here, and he waved his hand at a painting on the wall. I followed Qian Yi to a corridor, and Qian Yi said while walking: "Actually, the one who invited you is my brother, just call him Mr. Qian."

  The corridor is very long, it's really a deep courtyard. I feel that the villa is much cooler than outside, I don't know if it's because there are trees and flowers planted here.

  Finally stopped in front of a small building made of nanmu bamboo, with lights shining inside, quite elegant.

  At the door, Qian Yi made a please gesture towards me, and I suddenly had a strange feeling, and some regret came. Is it because this villa is too deep and the other party's momentum is too big? I was originally a superficial doctor, and can even be said not to be a doctor, how could I come here, would there be a deceptive meaning?

  However, Qian Yizheng looked at me with a hopeful face, treating me like a divine doctor. I was in an awkward position and had no choice but to go in with a forced smile.

  Qian Yi didn't come in, but instead gently pulled the door shut.

  I didn't expect that behind this grid was a passageway, with a large gate leading to the back of the building. At this time, a man walked over from that gate, smiling and shaking hands with me, introducing himself as Mr. Qian, who had invited me here. This person was about 40 years old, with a square face, wearing traditional Chinese clothing, standing tall and upright, giving off an air of great scholarliness.

  I called out to Mr. Qian in a somewhat formal tone, then asked him where the patient was. Mr. Qian didn't seem to be in a hurry, leading me out of the gate and stopping in front of a small pavilion made of nanmu wood, with a lantern hanging from the eaves and the sound of running water nearby. We sat down on two stools, and as he brewed tea, he asked about my situation - but only about school-related matters, without asking anything else, such as how long I'd been practicing medicine or whether my skills were up to par at such a young age.

  I wonder how he knew mine, I wanted to ask several times, but felt too abrupt, and had to hold back the doubts in my heart.

  However, he mentioned Niu Niu during the conversation, I reckon he must have found out about my situation from her, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me about school right from the start.

  During this time, my phone rang and I received a message. I took it out to look at it, and Mr. Qian glanced at my phone with an expression that wasn't very good, as if he didn't like me checking my phone while we were talking, but he didn't say anything.

  The information came from Zhang Yunhao, he reminded me to be careful, he smelled a ghostly aura!

  My heart sank, and indeed there was a ghost here. No wonder I felt cool all over. But where is the ghost? In my opinion, Qian Yi won't be a ghost, nor will Mr. Qian, because when I shook hands with them just now, their hands had temperature.

  I calmly put away my phone, but my heart started racing. I urged Mr. Qian to take me to see the patient as soon as possible. I couldn't wait to leave, but at the same time, I was filled with curiosity about the patient and wondered who it could be, whether human or ghost.

  At this time, Niu Niu and Fan Feng arrived. They seemed to be avoiding Mr. Qian's teahouse and stood outside without coming in. Mr. Qian glanced at them and asked indifferently what brought them here. Although his tone was not angry or fierce, it was clear that he was not very welcoming of their arrival.

  Niang Niang asked Mr. Qian, "Uncle, who's really sick?" Mr. Qian's face turned solemn and he looked at Niang Niang, asking back, "Why are you asking this? Go with Master Fan to study, don't always play outside, it'll ruin your character. If you fall behind in your studies, your father will blame me, and I won't be able to explain."

  Fan Feng immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, Niu Niu is so smart, her schoolwork will definitely not fall behind..." Niu Niu glared at Fan Feng and angrily asked, "Why did you call my uncle 'uncle' too?" Fan Feng was taken aback and stuttered, "You...you called him uncle, so I naturally also call him uncle." Niu Niu hummed, "Who are you? Uncle is only my uncle, not your uncle..."

  Mr. Qian impatiently interrupted Niu Niu's words, waving his hand at her and saying, "Alright, you all go play, Daddy has important things to attend to."

  Niang Niang looked at me and asked: "You want me to ask for his phone number, is it to call him over to see a doctor?"

  I just found out that the girl was indeed entrusted by Niu Niu, and that's why she asked for my phone number. Sigh, I thought she had a crush on me earlier, but it turns out I was just being overly sentimental.

  But why did Mr. Qian ask Niu Niu for my phone number? How did he know mine?

  Mr. Qian seemed angry and raised his voice at Niu Niu: "Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow, I still have something to do with Dr. Yang, you all go out first!"

  Niang Niang pouted and gave me a white eye, then turned around and left with Fan Feng.

  When they left the building, Mr. Qian smiled at me and said: "Niuniu is your classmate, right? She's been spoiled since childhood, very willful, if she offended you, you should be more understanding." I was flattered and quickly said it was nothing, young people are all like that.

  Mr. Qian dryly chuckled twice, praised me with a couple of sentences, saying I was straightforward and had the vigor of youth, as well as refinement, etc. I felt very awkward listening to this, feeling it didn't relate to me at all. Finally, he said: "Alright, now please ask Dr. Yang to go take a look at the patient."

  My heart skipped a beat, and I hastily agreed.

  Mr. Qian stood up and made a polite gesture for me to go first, I remained standing still, letting him go first, he smiled and walked down the tea pavilion.

  At this time, my mobile phone received another message. I took a glance at Mr. Qian's back and took out the phone to take a look. It was Zhang Yunhao who sent it: Knife brother, are you okay? Why don't you return the message? The ghostly energy here is very heavy! I suddenly thought of something, that poor girl who died from blood loss, her heart was dug out, I think this has something to do with witchcraft. Could it be that Mr. Qian's family brought us here to trap us, and their purpose wasn't for us to come and treat someone's illness, but for another reason? Didn't that girl say there were no sick people in her house earlier? You have to be careful!
