Chapter 105 Chatting Leisuredly about Ghosts

should all have a mind!" The Earth Ghost said slowly with a look of nostalgia in his eyes."This... This is possible" Xiao Yu exclaimed incredulously.Xiao Yu knew how difficult it was to educate these...Chapter 105: Chatting About Ghosts Leisurly

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wang Xinlan and Wei Zhonghua were taken aback. Could a single dose of medicine really cure the problem Wang Xinlan was somewhat uneasy about it and asked Xiao Yu: "Will one dose of medicine be enough to heal him in three days Should we add another two doses"

Wei Zhonghua, who stood beside them, also felt inclined to agree. In their opinion, even a minor illness required more than ten days of treatment; let alone something concerning Wei Jun's condition. It wouldn't be bad if they added a few more doses for better consolidation.

Hearing Wang Xinlan’s words made Xiao Yu unable to laugh or cry. Taking medicine wasn’t a good thing, and one dose was enough to cure the problem. Why would he suggest taking extra doses

However, Xiao Yu didn't want to say anything inappropriate about Wei Jun's parents. After some thought, he replied: "Auntie, there’s no need for additional doses. Right now, Wei Jun is just weak and this medicine is a tonic. One dose will be sufficient for him to recover. Taking too much won’t do any good."

"Oh… Just one dose I’ve asked an old friend in the capital city to send over a high-grade wild ginseng root as a gift. Should he take it Would taking more tonic medicine be detrimental" Wei Zhonghua responded hesitantly.

"Uncle, tonics are still medicines. Medicine has its three parts of toxicity. It’s not advisable to take them casually," Xiao Yu said looking at Wei Zhonghua.

"Wei Jun, you can go back and stay in your room now. The place is safe again!" After saying this, Xiao Yu turned to Wei Jun who was still apprehensive on the sofa.

“Oh… Good… Wait, what did you say It’s all right already” Wei Jun answered absent-mindedly before realizing what he had been told, his face filled with astonishment.

Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan were also stunned by Xiao Yu's words. Safe again! Was it possible But they had seen a ghost! Although the two of them never believed in ghosts or gods before, now that they were older, they still maintained some reverence for these things. For instance, Wei Zhonghua would go to famous mountains and temples to burn incense and pray.

Wang Xinlan, on the other hand, had been exposed to a bunch of idle chatter about feng shui and ghosts through her interactions with certain social groups, which made her strongly believe in these superstitions. That was why she would hire Taoists for exorcism.

Especially after encountering those two fraudsters and hearing what their son said about the ghost incident, they became even more convinced of the existence of ghosts and gods. Moreover, they had just agreed to find a real sorcerer tomorrow to perform an exorcism.

The moment they reached this decision on the road, Xiao Yu called them over, saying he was coming over too. They thought that Xiao Yu must have been scared as well or encountered a ghost somewhere and fled in terror. But now, Xiao Yu told them that there was no problem anymore at Wei Jun's place. If it wasn’t problematic… where did the ghost go then Did it run away on its own

They considered various possibilities but didn't think of the fact that the ghost had been exterminated by Xiao Yu. After all, he was still young and from what they knew through TV movies and friends’ talk, exorcism was generally performed by Taoists or sorcerers. Therefore, when several people heard about how Wei Jun’s house was now fine, disbelief covered their faces.

Xiao Yu saw their expressions and knew they didn't believe him. Xiao Yu helplessly shook his head and said, "I learned some folk methods to drive away ghosts from my grandpa in the past. I can still deal with impure things without any problems. However, to ensure everything is safe, I burned down Brother Jun's painting."

Reluctantly, Xiao Yu brought up his deceased grandpa! Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan finally showed looks of enlightenment. Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan had both gone down to the countryside in the past, knowing that there were some people with methods to restrain ghostly entities. Back then, they looked down on these folks as ignorant peasants, but their status was still quite high in rural areas at the time, and they also regarded Xiao Yu's grandpa as one of them.

"Xiao Yu, how come I didn't know you had this kind of skill before" Wei Jun traded antiques naturally knew that there were such people in the countryside. However, he used to look down on these individuals, thinking they could only fool rural folks, but now he started believing there was a reason why these people managed to exist in rural areas.

"Brother Jun, we've never encountered any of this stuff before, so how can I go around telling everyone that I know how to catch ghosts People would think I'm crazy!" Xiao Yu looked at Wei Jun with annoyance and thought it was foolish for him to ask such a question.

"Xiao Yu, come sit down! Come on, please take a seat," they finally remembered that Xiao Yu had been standing in the living room this whole time.

Seeing Xiao Yu take a seat, Wei Jun said, "It's alright if you burned it. Even if you didn't burn it, I would've done so myself!"

"Right… right… burning it was the best thing to do! What use is keeping around something that only harms people" Wang Xinlan hurriedly chimed in.

"Never expected there are actually ghosts in this world!" Wei Jun sighed and said with lingering fear. He had never believed in ghosts before, but now he realized that they truly exist and even encountered one himself.

"Haha, actually, ghosts aren't as scary as people think!" Xiao Yu chuckled lightly and replied.

Hearing what Xiao Yu said about ghosts, Wei Zhonghua, Wang Xinlan, and Wei Jun all showed looks of intent listening, afraid they would miss any word he might say.

"Ghosts are actually just the residual thoughts of people after death. These thoughts are very weak and incapable of harming anyone; only those with weak bodies or wills can be affected by these ghostly thoughts and experience illusions in their minds. Generally speaking, strong individuals or those with powerful wills would never be influenced by ghosts," Xiao Yu thought for a moment and simply explained this to avoid causing panic within the Wei family.

"But Jun's body isn't weak at all! How come he encountered a ghost then" Wang Xinlan asked her son after hearing Xiao Yu's explanation.

"Auntie, Brother Jun is indeed strong. That's why that ghost waited for him to fall asleep and used his dream state against him. It even turned into an erotic dream! Otherwise, how could such a ghost have succeeded so easily" Xiao Yu explained.

Hearing this, Wang Xinlan showed understanding and glanced at her son before thinking to herself, "I guess it's time for me to find him a wife."

The Wei family members, after hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, realized that ghosts were not as terrifying as they had thought; in fact, a ghost was less frightening than an ordinary person. They all heaved a sigh of relief.

Several thousand years of legends in China had instilled a sense of reverence and fear towards ghosts deep within their hearts. However, after listening to Xiao Yu's explanation, the fear in their minds gradually diminished.

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

"It should be Old Liu arriving! I'll go and open the door!" Wei Zhonghua said after hearing the doorbell.

"Old Wei asked a friend to get an excellent wild ginseng, which should have been delivered now." Wang Xinlan smiled as she explained when she saw Wei Zhonghua heading towards the door.

If it were in the past, Wang Xinlan wouldn't explain such matters to someone junior to her. However, since learning that Xiao Yu could catch ghosts, Wang Xinlan couldn’t help but change her attitude toward him and no longer treated him like a younger generation member but as an equal.

"Old Wei, you're not letting me down! It's fifty-year-old top-grade wild ginseng!" Soon after, laughter of a man echoed from the doorway.

"Great, great, thank you Old Liu for your trouble! Come in quickly!" As soon as Wei Zhonghua heard the man's voice, he spoke up immediately.

After a short while, the two men entered the living room. Seeing who had come, Xiao Yu’s face revealed an odd expression; it was indeed Liu Benchang, the general manager of Renhetang, whom Xiao Yu knew.

Liu Benchang followed Wei Zhonghua into the living room and upon seeing Xiao Yu sitting on the sofa, he was momentarily taken aback. "Doctor Xiao What are you doing here"

"Hello General Manager Liu, I’m a classmate of Wei Jun’s; I came to visit him!" Upon hearing Liu Benchang's question, Xiao Yu stood up and replied.

"What You two know each other" Seeing the interaction between them, Wei Zhonghua was surprised and couldn't help asking out loud.

He had thought that a medical intern like Xiao Yu would not be acquainted with Liu Benchang, an elite in business circles.

"We know each other. I’ve only met Doctor Xiao once, but he truly has the heart of a benevolent doctor!" Liu Benchang looked at Xiao Yu and expressed his admiration.

After everyone was seated, Liu Benchang recounted what Xiao Yu had done on the plane. Wei Zhonghua and Wang Xinlan were secretly amazed; they hadn’t expected that Xiao Yu actually had such superb medical skills. They thought their son was deliberately exaggerating Xiao Yu's abilities, but it turned out to be true.

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

Wei Zhonghua was completely puzzled by Liu Benchang’s words and couldn't help asking, "Old Liu, tell me the truth! How am I not being honest"

"I'm not being honest You had me fly all the way here just to make fun of me. The ginseng at Doctor Xiao's place is so much better than what I have!" said Liu Benchang with a face full of resentment.

Without waiting for Wei Zhonghua to respond, he turned around and asked Xiao Yu, "Doctor Xiao, how about it What do you think of selling the ginseng at 300,000 yuan per piece"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, “Mr. Liu, let's not talk about it anymore. I won't sell this stuff. You should know that this thing can save lives in critical moments. Once sold, it will be hard to find again!”

He would never sell the ginseng left by his grandfather. He didn’t have much of it; he only had eight pieces here and a little less than half a piece at home. This kind of thing is rare and hard to come by, so once sold, it won't be available again!

When Liu Benchang heard what Xiao Yu said, his expression turned gloomy as he nodded sadly. He knew how precious this thing was; otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried every means possible to raise the price. Now that he heard Xiao Yu’s words and realized that no matter what, Xiao Yu would never sell it, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Old Liu, what are you talking about" Wei Zhonghua was equally puzzled when he overheard their conversation and asked curiously.

Liu Benchang shook his head in disappointment and said, "I wanted to buy Doctor Xiao's ginseng, but he won't sell it!"

"Haha, I thought there must be something important. Aren’t you in the herb business You have even 50-year-old wild mountain ginseng here. Why do you need to buy more"

When Wei Zhonghua heard Liu Benchang's words, he realized that it was just about buying ginseng and couldn't help raising the wooden box Liu Benchang had brought.

Wei Zhonghua knew how precious this ginseng was. To treat his son’s illness, he had searched all over Deep Sea but hadn’t found a decent piece of ginseng. The small pharmacies sold fake ginseng, and the large ones only had three or five-year-old ginseng at best. Out of desperation, he thought of his friend Liu Benchang.ang, I can treat your illness; however, my consultation fee is extremely expensive..." Xiao Yu looked at both of them and continued speaking."You probably don't know who I am! Listen up, I'm East City...
