Chapter 35 - Meeting a Ghost? (1/2)

Professor Guo was very happy that Zhang Jun trusted him so much. He patted Zhang Jun’s shoulder and said, “Zhang, you are such a nice guy. I will contact appraisal experts across the country as soon as possible and give you a satisfactory answer.”

The matter of Xuande incense burner ended Zhang Jun’s trip to Guigu Street halfway. Throughout the afternoon, he took the opportunity to ask Professor Guo about the antique and calligraphy, and he learned a lot.

Professor Guo also felt that Zhang Jun was gifted. He said, “Zhang Jun, if you have time, come to Zhongyuan University and take my class. I think you are very talented in archeology.”

Zhang Jun was very willing to do that. He felt that he could make some achievements in the antique world with his X-ray vision.

The next day, Zhang Jun finally had to leave. He promised Professor Guo that he would invite Hua Buyi to come over and cure Professor Guo’s waist injury. Professor Guo promised to help him identify the Xuande incense burner.

For safety reasons, Zhang Jun decided to take a plane first to Dongling City, the closest city to Qinghe County, and then take a taxi back to his hometown. Of course, this would cost him more money, maybe thousands of yuan.

Guo Lan drove Zhang Jun to the airport, and they waved goodbye to each other.

Zhang Jun thought he was a billionaire now, so this time he decided to spend money lavishly. He bought a first-class ticket. There were only eight seats in the first class and only six people including him.

Sitting in the large seat and enjoying the thoughtful service of a flight attendant, Zhang Jun still felt that the cost was a bit unworthy. He thought to himself that next time he would surely buy an economy-class ticket, which would save him six or seven hundred yuan.

The seat on the right side of Zhang Jun was empty, and a couple sat on his left. The wife embraced a boy about two years old. The husband looked gentle, and the wife was quiet. Judging from their expansive watches and bags, the couple should be rich. But somehow, there was a worried look on their faces, and the wife sighed many times.

Zhang Jun then looked at the boy and found that the little boy looked very pale, sleepy, and lazily silent. After observing for a while, Zhang Jun subconsciously used his X-ray vision. Suddenly, he saw a woman in white appeared behind the little boy.

It scared Zhang Jun. His eyes opened widely, and he shouted in his heart, “A ghost!”

The ghost woman’s face was pale, and her livid fingers were thin and long. She didn’t seem to see Zhang Jun. Her red eyes were staring at the little boy.

Zhang Jun saw that ghost reached out to pinch the little boy’s ears, dig his eyes and hit his head. Immediately, the little boy burst into tears. He was desperately struggling, with fear on his face.

The wife hugged her son quickly and tightly with her tears flowing. She kissed him and said, “Baby, don’t cry, baby. I am here.”

The husband was also distressed and helpless. He looked around and suddenly found that Zhang Jun was staring at the place behind his wife as if having seen a ghost.

This man had been in the business world for many years and had developed a pair of sharp eyes. So he said, “Brother, what’s your name?”

Zhang Jun came back to himself, but his face was still pale. He made a forced smile, “I’m Zhang Jun. Why did your child cry suddenly?”

The husband sighed and said, “Mr. Zhang, my name is Shang Yang. To tell you the truth, my child has got a weird disease for six months. From time to time, he would cry aloud and then have a continuous high fever. We asked many doctors for help, but nobody could cure him.”

Zhang Jun nodded thoughtfully and said, “Mr. Shang, since you’re taking a flight with your child, are you going to seek medical treatment for him?”

Shang Yang nodded and smiled bitterly, “Yeah. It is said that there is a famous doctor of TCM in Dongling City, who is known as the Miracle Doctor in Dongling. We decide to take a chance.”

Zhang Jun nodded and was about to speak, but he finally laughed bitterly and said nothing. He actually wanted to remind Shang Yang it was likely that the child’s illness could not be cured by a doctor.

Shang Yang sensed something different from Zhang Jun’s expression, so he asked, “Mr. Zhang, you seem to have something to say? I just discovered you were looking at something. Did you find anything?”

Zhang Jun was silent for a moment, and then he said, “Mr. Shang, we didn’t know each other before, and you may not believe me. Just forget it.”

Shang Yang quickly said, “Mr. Zhang, don’t say that. Although we have never met before, I will not suspect you. You can speak frankly.” After finishing speaking, he frowned, “In fact, I have a vague feeling for a long time. I just can’t believe it.”

Zhang Jun took a breath and whispered, “The boy is bewitched.”

Shang Yang nodded slowly, saying, “A master once said so, but he couldn’t drive away evil spirits. I was just suspicious. In the last month, my child cried more and more fiercely, so I gradually felt something wrong and had to believe him. Mr. Zhang, since you said so, you must have seen something. Please help me!”

Zhang Jun hesitated, not sure if he should get involved in this matter. He looked up again. The looming “female ghost” was still torturing the little boy, making him cry even louder.

“What the hell is this? Is it really a ghost? How can I drive it away?” He thought in mind, “Well, the little boy is pitiful. I’ll help him.”

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly remembered the process of killing the demon in a dream and helping Zhuang Lele to return to normal, and then he said, “Mr. Shang, let me embrace the child first.”
