Miraculous X-Ray Vision

Chapter 38 - Miracle Doctor in Dongling



At night, Xiaolong slept quietly by Zhang Jun’s bed, while Shang Yang and his wife lived next door and could come over in time whenever something went wrong with their kid. Zhang Jun thought about what he encountered on the plane but could not get the puzzle out of his mind. Finally, he called Hua Buyi.

Hua Buyi answered the phone and asked, “Zhang Jun, what’s the matter?”

Zhang Jun said, “Master, I was chased after getting off the train yesterday. The man behind them must be Xu Bo.”

Hua Buyi said, “I will let Zhang Wu handle it. You need not care about it anymore.”

“OK. There is another thing.” Zhang Jun said, and then he told Hua Buyi what happened on the plane.

Hearing it, Hua Buyi was silent for a while and then said, “You really have a body of true immortal and even can see ghosts and demons. You are right. According to folktales, that is indeed a ghost.”

Zhang Jun was shocked, “Master, is there really the ghost in the world?”

Hua Buyi said, “The universe is vast and there are so many mysteries. How can we mortals understand all of them? We call this a ghost. As for where the ghost comes from and where it goes, the answers are not what I can know.”

Zhang Jun had been thinking about it these days, and now he couldn’t help putting forward his own opinion, “Master, there is a saying in the world that the ghost is a kind of energy wave. When it resonates with the brain wave of someone, he or she is able to see the ghost. Is it right?”

“It is not wrong to think so. As for the truth, only ghosts know.” Hua Buyi joked.

Zhang Jun cackled and said, “Master, I’ll see if the little boy’s illness can be cured.”

Hua Buyi said, “The Miracle Doctor in Dongling has good medical skills. But he is narrow-minded, and you’d better not deal with him. Try to keep away from him.”

“OK, I got it, Master.” Zhang Jun said.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jun still was not willing to give up. He stared at Xiaolong for half a night, trying to see where the ghost was hiding in Xiaolong’s body. But unfortunately, he found nothing.

“According to the theory that ghosts are energy waves, will the ghost be in Xiaolong’s brain waves? But how can I see brain waves? Can I examine by X-ray vision?”

Zhang Jun didn’t finish trying and fall asleep until three or four o’clock in the morning. When he woke up, he found that Xiaolong was sitting at his bed and looked at him with a smile. Seeing him awake, Xiaolong said with a lisp, “Uncle, I want to pee-pee.”

Zhang Jun looked at his watch and found that it was already over eight o’clock. He quickly got up and carried Xiaolong to the toilet. After washing up, he brought Xiaolong to Shang Yang and his wife. They had prepared breakfast.

Shang Yang said gratefully, “Mr. Zhang, I’m really sorry for having troubled you all night.”

Zhang Jun waved his hand and said, “Nothing. Brother Shang, stop calling me Mr. Zhang. It sounds strange. Just call me Zhang Jun.”

Shang Yang laughed, “Okay, then I’ll call you Brother.”

The breakfast was simple but tasted good. After eating, Zhang Jun said, “I’ll be with you when you meet with the Miracle Doctor in Dongling.”

Shang Yang said, “Of course. I won’t rest assured without your presence.” Then he asked, “Brother, can Xiaolong’s illness be cured?”

Zhang Jun thought for a while and said, “I don’t have full confidence. Let the Miracle Doctor in Dongling treat Xiaolong first. If his treatment doesn’t work, I’ll figure out another way.”

They chatted casually. Unknowingly, it was over twelve o’clock. But after a long wait, the so-called Miracle Doctor in Dongling still did not appear. The middle-aged man in charge of serving Shang Yang was so anxious, and he called to urge the doctor again and again, with sweats on his head.

Shang Yang knew very well in his heart that such a famous doctor generally liked to put on airs, and possibly he was late intentionally. So Shang Yang was not in a hurry but ordered the man to prepare the meal. After they finished lunch, it was about two o’clock in the afternoon, and the Miracle Doctor in Dongling finally arrived.

In a luxurious private room on the eighteenth floor, Shang Yang and Zhang Jun met Gu Mosheng, the Miracle Doctor in Dongling. Gu Mosheng seemed to be more than fifty years old. He was slightly fat, with black hair and a ruddy face.

There were over a dozen people following him, male and female, young and middle-aged. It seemed that they were all his students or subordinates.

Shang Yang came forward and said, “Mr. Gu, here you come finally. Sit down, please.”

Gu Mosheng sat on the seat of the host and said with a calm expression, “Something came up on my way here. Mr. Shang, sorry to be late.”

“Well, it’s nothing.” Shang Yang was very polite, “Mr. Gu, please use your excellent medical skills to save my child.”

Gu Mosheng took a sip of the tea and then said slowly, “Bring the child here.”

Mrs. Shang quickly brought Xiaolong here and let Gu Mosheng take his pulse. Gu Mosheng closed his own eyes for a moment, frowning slightly. Then he examined the coating on Xiaolong’s tongue and asked about his symptoms.

After that, Gu Mosheng thought for a moment and said, “According to the pulse, the child does not have a big problem. He is just a bit disturbed, and he must have been frightened. I will prescribe a few medicines for him. See if it works on him.”

As Gu Mosheng finished speaking, a young man with a long face behind him brought him the pen and paper. Gu Mosheng quickly wrote out a prescription and gave it to Shang Yang.

Shang Yang took the prescription and glanced at it. With a stiff expression, he was about to say something but stopped. Zhang Jun stood on the other side, seeing the content of the prescription clearly with his X-ray vision.

Gu Mosheng stood up and said, “Take the medicine for some days and then go to visit me for further treatment.” After saying, he actually was about to leave.

Mrs. Shang couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Gu, Brother Zhang also knows about Xiaolong’s condition. You are both masters. Can you discuss together to find a way to cure Xiaolong’s illness as soon as possible?”

Everyone looked at Zhang Jun at the moment. Finding that he was so young, someone behind Gu Mosheng laughed and said, “Mrs. Shang, it is not that everyone can discuss with Mr. Gu about the medical treatment, let alone a nobody.”

Zhang Jun did not get angry. He smiled slightly and said nothing.

Gu Mosheng looked at Zhang Jun and asked, “Are you also a doctor?”

Zhang Jun said lightly, “I am not a doctor at the moment. But I am preparing to study medicine.”

These people were stunned, and then many of them burst into laughter. Someone said, “Do you want to study medicine at such an age? You’d better go to study how to get sick.”

“Isn’t it a joke to ask our master to discuss the treatment with someone who even does not have medical skills?”

“I’ve never seen such a brazen-faced person. He must be a jerk who gets money by cheating.”

The words of people behind Gu Mosheng became more and more offensive, and later they even began to insult Zhang Jun. No matter how good Zhang Jun’s temper was, he couldn’t tolerate others insulting him like this. He said coldly, “I’m not a doctor, but I can cure the illness. I guess that all of you are the disciples and subordinates of Mr. Gu. Who of you can cure Xiaolong’s illness?”

Most of these people were doctors from various places in Dongling, and they were more or less related to Gu Mosheng. They followed Gu Mosheng to learn more knowledge and improve their medical skills. So, they could be regarded as half a disciple of Gu Mosheng.

Finding that Zhang Jun even dared to refute, these people were immediately annoyed. They always liked to form a clique, and now they immediately yelled together, “Even you can cure the illness? Boy, this is not somewhere for you to brag yourself.”

Gu Mosheng frowned slightly and asked, “You say you can cure it?”

Zhang Jun didn’t answer but asked, “Can’t you cure it?” He was disgusted with these noisy people, and he also didn’t like Gu Mosheng’s arrogance, so he no longer cared about their feelings.

Gu Mosheng snorted and seemed unwilling to talk to Zhang Jun. But the long-faced young man behind Gu Mosheng stood up, glaring at Zhang Jun and yelling, “Do you think you are qualified enough to talk to Mr. Gu? Go away. Otherwise, I will give you a lesson!”

These people kept abusing Zhang Jun, and even the good-tempered Shang Yang also showed unhappiness. He said in a deep voice, “Mr. Gu, six famous doctors have prescribed the same prescription before you. Unfortunately, this prescription cannot help in curing my child’s illness.”

Gu Mosheng’s expression changed, and he said unpleasantly, “Mr. Shang, if you do not believe in my medical skills, why did you send for me?”

Shang Yang looked at Zhang Jun. Knowing what he meant, Zhang Jun nodded and said, “It seems that Mr. Gu can’t treat Xiaolong at all. We’d better let him go and stop wasting time.”

As soon as Zhang Jun finished speaking, the room was filled with noises. The dozens of people showed anger and sneered at Zhang Jun, and some of them even insulted him.

“Nonsense! Liar, how dare you query the medical skill of Mr. Gu? You are still wet behind the ears!”

“Mr. Gu has treated countless incurable diseases, and how can you, a nobody, understand it? How dare you talk nonsense here and injure Mr. Gu’s reputation? You deserve death for your fault.”

“Call the police immediately to catch this jerk. Since he dared to spread rumors to injure Mr. Gu’s reputation here, he should be imprisoned for at least half a month, so as to set an example to warn others.”

Zhang Jun laughed loudly, and his laughter shut everyone’s mouth. He sneered, “No matter how you explained, the fact is that you can’t cure the illness. Miracle Doctor? You are just a quack doctor.”

Zhang Jun had been annoyed. Whoever faced with such a group of people behaving like crazy dogs would get angry. Since they rejected his face-saving offer, he no longer spoke politely and directly attacked Gu Mosheng with his words.

Gu Mosheng held back the anger and asked, “So, you can cure this illness?”

Zhang Jun said coldly, “This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. All of you can leave now. Just stop calling yourself the Miracle Doctor. Otherwise, others may laugh at you.”

Gu Mosheng showed an angry look and said, “Boy, be careful with your words. Sometimes the consequence of saying the wrong words is very serious.” Obviously, he was threatening.

Zhang Jun was even more annoyed, and his look became colder. He said, “Gu Mosheng, don’t bluff others by your reputation. I’ll tell you. my master is Hua Buyi, whose medical skill, reputation, and moral integrity are all better than you. Compared with my master, you are nothing but a quack?”

Upon hearing Hua Buyi’s name, both Shang Yang and Gu Mosheng’s expressions changed greatly. Shang Yang looked surprised. Obviously, he knew Hua Buyi and believed that Zhang Jun could certainly cure Xiaolong’s illness as a disciple of Hua Buyi.

Gu Mosheng was shocked at first, and then a great grudge appeared in his eyes. His look kept changing.

But the people behind Gu Mosheng did not know the name of Hua Buyi. They continued to talk abusive words, and some even rolled up their sleeves and got ready to fight.

The noise shocked Xiaolong. He suddenly cried at the top of his voice, struggling with his arms and legs desperately, and his expression was filled with pain and fear. The crowds immediately calmed down with all their attention focused on Xiaolong.

Seeing it, Gu Mosheng seemed to have recalled something, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He turned to Zhang Jun and said coldly, “Boy, since you are a disciple of Hua Buyi, you must have some means. This child’s illness is your responsibility now.”
