Chapter 252 Seeing a Ghost
After Jiang Ruochu finished the acupuncture, the child's high fever slowly subsided, and even his face was no longer so red.
Jiang Ruochu touched the child's hand and confirmed that the body temperature had returned to normal.
At this time, the child slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Ruchu in a daze. She didn't recognize the sister in front of her, but because the other party was the first person she saw after opening her eyes, she felt very close, so she grinned.
Jiang Ruochu was also happy that the child had saved her life. She touched the child's head and then gave instructions to her parents.
"It's okay. You need to rest well and eat a light diet in the next week."
When the couple learned through the translator that their child was fine, they were ecstatic. They rubbed their hands together and then pounded their heads with their palms, which is the highest etiquette of thanks in the local area.
The family wanted to repay Jiang Ruchu with the fish they had just caught.
However, Jiang Ruochu refused and only told them to treat the child well in the future.
In the eyes of this couple, Jiang Ruchu was not only a benefactor, but also someone who could communicate with gods. Naturally, they nodded repeatedly and said "sure, sure".
When Jiang Ruochu was about to leave, he found that a group of villagers had gathered outside the house to watch the fun.
They all heard that the gods of sky and sea had appeared, so they came to get some blessings.
After seeing Jiang Ruchu cure the child with their own eyes, there was more respect in their eyes, so when Jiang Ruchu went out, they all stepped aside and made way for Jiang Ruchu.
Jiang Ruochu saw a kind of desire in the eyes of these people.
It is the desire to get treatment and to survive when you are sick.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ruochu is not a real doctor, and her system skills are also time-limited. She cannot treat the next person immediately, nor can she stay here for a long time.
She could only walk quickly through the crowd and leave the couple's home.
Because of this delay, when Jiang Ruochu arrived outside the house rented by Zhu Yafei, the sun was about to set.
Jiang Ruochu asked the translator to stand further away and wait outside, and she and Ye Sha walked in.
Yesha had very sensitive hearing. He moved his ears and said, "There's no one in the room."
"It's okay. We'll wait for him in the yard."
Jiang Ruochu was not worried that Zhu Yafei would run away. After all, in his current physical condition, he couldn't run far.
Sure enough, after the sun had completely set, Zhu Yafei came back slowly, holding a flashlight and lighting the way.
At this time, he had been tortured by illness and became as thin as a bamboo pole. His cheeks were so thin that they were sunken. He had to stop and walk slowly every few steps.
After a long time of dawdling, he finally reached his home.
When he saw two strangers standing in the yard, he was stunned and asked warily: "Who are you?"
Jiang Ruochu greeted with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, long time no see."
Zhu Yafei's face suddenly changed. He had changed his name long ago after running away from the country. The only people who knew his real name could be those who chased him out from China.
Zhu Yafei knew that many people in the country wanted to kill him, so he subconsciously turned around and ran. However, just as he took a step, the gate of the courtyard made a loud "bang" sound, as if it was closed by an invisible hand.
Jiang Ruochu asked calmly, "Why are you running? Shouldn't we catch up?"
Zhu Yafei stiffened his body and slowly turned his head.
Jiang Ruochu was not in a hurry. At this moment, Zhu Yafei was like a fish out of water, with only the fate of struggling to death left.
"Do you still know me?"
Zhu Yafei looked Jiang Ruochu up and down. After so many years, Jiang Ruochu was just a little more mature than she was in high school, and her appearance had not changed much. Besides, she was very beautiful and had been outstanding since she was a child. She was the type who had a photographic memory, so Zhu Yafei recognized her.
"You are Jiang..." Zhu Yafei didn't remember Jiang Ruchu's name, so he could only change his words, "Are you Old Jiang's daughter?"
"Uncle Zhu has a good memory."
Zhu Yafei knew he couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet and say hello: "I didn't expect to run into you in such a big world. It's been so many years. How is your father?"
"Thanks to you, he is still in the sanatorium."
"Ha, ha, ha." Zhu Yafei laughed dryly and said guiltily, "Niece, what happened between your father and I was not what you imagined. There was a misunderstanding. I promise that I definitely did not harm your father."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Ruochu raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Actually, Uncle Zhu, you don't have to be so scared. I came here just to give you a gift."
For some reason, Zhu Yafei felt that the young Jiang Ruochu was full of oppression. His back began to feel cold and he quickly waved his hand: "No need to be so polite..."
Before he could finish his words, a piece of paper floated down from the air and landed right in his hands.
Zhu Yafei took a closer look and found that it was actually a ghost money. He was very taboo about this thing now. His body trembled, as if he had touched a hot potato, and he quickly threw the ghost money away.
However, more and more paper money fell from the sky. He looked up in panic and saw that in the dark sky, those paper money came from nowhere and kept falling.
In a trance, he vaguely saw a green ghost face floating in the center of the paper money, smiling at him with sharp fangs.
This bizarre scene made Zhu Yafei's hair stand on end. He screamed, "Ah!!"
He fell to the ground and waved his hands in fear to drive away the ghost: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost! Go away!"
"Eh?" Jiang Ruochu said indifferently, "Uncle Zhu saw a ghost? I heard that only people who are about to die can see ghosts."
In fact, what Zhu Yafei saw were indeed ghosts, but they were little ghosts summoned by the ghost-controlling talisman. Each of them had a very distinctive look, and Jiang Ruochu thought they were very cute.
Jiang Ruochu's words touched Zhu Yafei's sore spot, and he angrily retorted: "You are talking nonsense! I just went to see the master, and the master said that as long as I drink the magic water he gave me, I will be cured immediately."
"I won't die! I will live well and live a long life!"
