The day passed quickly. After school in the afternoon, Sun Dandan brought her homework to the hospital ward and wrote it on the table next to me.
What surprised me was that during this period, the daughter of Lao Zhangtou, who died yesterday, came back and her attitude towards me changed completely, and she became even more polite.
She also expressed her sincere apology for her elder brother’s inappropriate remarks to me yesterday, and then asked for my mobile phone number.
It was obvious from what happened yesterday that she felt that I was no longer an ordinary person. If she wanted to have a relationship with me, she first asked for my mobile phone number.
Other patients in the ward asked for my contact information again, but my mother couldn't refuse and was afraid of disturbing my rest, so she had no choice but to give them her mobile phone number, and everyone just let it go.
After Feng Qianqian learned that my prediction of the old man's death came true, she also looked at me with wonder and said that if I escaped this life-and-death disaster, I would definitely become a great gentleman.
She also jokingly said, let me calculate for her whether she can still meet a lovely man.
My mother looked at me with loving eyes and said, "No matter how old you are, I just hope that my son can live a healthy life. This is my biggest wish."
I think so too. I am not very interested in being a virtuous person. I just want to be an ordinary person.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, my mother frequently looked at the time.
It wasn't until after seven o'clock that I finally received a call from the expert, saying that we were at the entrance of the hospital and asking which floor we were on.
My mother was immediately overjoyed, saying that I might be saved, and went downstairs to pick up the expert herself.
Feng Qianqian and her daughter also looked relieved. While I was hopeful, I was also curious about how many brushes the expert had.
After a moment, a middle-aged man in his forties came up to my mother, wearing a linen shirt, black trousers, and carrying a cloth bag. He was more than 1.8 meters tall, with a short haircut and a resolute face.
His eyes were shining, and at first glance he looked like an accomplished man, but his lips were slightly thin, revealing a little bit of meanness.
My mother brought him to me very politely and said respectfully: "Master Chen, this is my son. He has had frequent high fevers in the past few days. Injections are of no use at all. See if he is caught by something. you..."
Unexpectedly, before my mother could finish her words, she was interrupted by Master Chen, "You don't need to say more. I heard my junior sister told me about your son's condition. Isn't it just a catastrophe of life and death at the age of eighteen?" ? It’s a small matter.”
Master Chen raised his head and held his chest up, looking confident. Although he didn’t know whether he had real ability, he was quite energetic.
When my mother saw this, she became more polite and asked him to give me a good look.
Master Chen gave me a sideways glance and said disdainfully: "I also heard from my junior sister that this guy is a cultivator who came down from the sky to overcome tribulations? This is nonsense to me. Do you think that a cultivator who came down from the sky is a great person? Where’s the cabbage?”
As soon as these words came out, my mother frowned but didn't say anything.
At first I didn't understand what he meant, but later I realized that he was just jealous of my identity.
Then he felt my pulse a little, counted with his fingers for a moment, and then solemnly said: "Judging from the yin energy that has eroded into your son's body, the dirt entangled in him is very vicious. If it is not handled well, he will definitely not live to be eighteen years old."
The mother was extremely worried after hearing this, and quickly prayed, "Master Chen, please, please save my son. I have called many people for so many days, but they don't dare to care about my son's affairs. They are all afraid..."
At this point, my mother looked around and said in a much lower voice, "To tell you the truth, my son was haunted by red and white evil spirits when he was born. Now that he is eighteen years old, those two evil spirits are very likely to Will be back."
"The great immortals I have been looking for during this period do not dare to interfere with my son's affairs, because they are afraid of being entangled by the red and white demons and setting themselves on fire. You..."
"Hmph! What do red and white demons mean?" Master Chen interrupted my mother again and said arrogantly: "As long as I take action, there will be no sneaky things that cannot be solved!"
My mother's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and she said that would be great. If she could help me get through this difficult time, I would be very grateful.
Feng Qianqian and her daughter looked at each other with hope in their eyes.
Sun Dandan held my hand and whispered: "Ping An, you are finally saved this time."
However, I didn't have high hopes. When Master Chen first entered the room, I did feel that he had some ability.
But after his words and actions just now, why do you suddenly feel that he is a little unreliable?
None of the patients in the ward spoke. They all looked at my situation curiously. I was definitely the first to come to the hospital to see a doctor.
Master Chen looked at my mother and said, "Solving your son's calamity is a trivial matter, but the money is not a small amount."
Upon hearing this, my mother quickly asked, "Master Chen, just tell me how much it will cost. I am willing to spend any amount of money as long as it can save my son."
"Well, it's not much." Master Chen stretched out a finger with his nostrils pointing upward, "Just ten thousand is enough. If it's less than a penny, I won't take action."
"Ah?" When my mother heard this, she opened her mouth in shock and was dumbfounded.
Feng Qianqian's mother and daughter and the patients in the ward were also shocked.
In 2008, money was not as cheap as it is now. With the current situation in the countryside at that time, 500 yuan for doing things was not a small sum.
It would be worth a hundred to go to the Great Immortal to take care of things. Even if it is a troublesome matter, it would only take a few hundred to survive.
Unexpectedly, Master Chen opened his mouth and asked for 10,000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money for rural people.
My mother raised me on her own, contracting out all the little land she had. She worked odd jobs in the town's garment factory, earning only 800 a month.
After more than ten years, my family may not have saved tens of thousands. Master Chen asked for ten thousand, which really embarrassed my mother.
"Master Chen." My mother said with a bitter look on her face: "Here, isn't this ten thousand yuan too much? We are all ordinary people. Besides, your junior sister and I also know each other. You see..."
"Yes, Master Chen, Zhao Yaru and his son depend on each other for life. It is not easy to be helpless. This ten thousand yuan is a bit too much. If it can be cheaper, it will be cheaper." Feng Qianqian also helped to plead for mercy.
Some patients in the ward who couldn't stand it also started to say good things to my mother.
"Shut up, all of you." Master Chen scolded everyone, then looked at my mother and said, "Stop trying to get involved with me. The quality of your relationship with my junior sister has nothing to do with money. I only care about money. If it weren't for my junior sister, I came over to take a look, but I was too lazy to take action."
"Stop talking nonsense, the minimum is 10,000, or even a penny less. I won't take action. Which is more important, your son's life or money? It's up to you, hum!"
After finishing speaking, Master Chen frowned and turned to leave.
"Huh?" My mother immediately became anxious when she saw this, and quickly stopped Master Chen and said, "Master Chen, I promise you, as long as you can save my son, I am willing to pay no matter how much money you have."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." After hearing this, Master Chen turned back, looked at me and asked, "Boy, you've had a fever these past few days, but have you seen something sneaky around you? What is it?"
