A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 248 Where did the toad come from

Looking through the window on the door, the doctor was treating Zhou Yan’s wound, while Zhou Yan was lying in bed her face looked rather pale.

The child was full of pipes and still in the emergence room. Several doctors talked about the child’s condition.

A man was sitting in a small chair on the side, lowering his head and covering his face, unable to see his face clearly.

Although the child has left the man’s arms, but his inner spirit is still absorbed by the toad on the man’s shoulder, maybe due to the distance, the speed had been slow down.

The doctor came out of the emergence room soon, I pretended to play with my cell phone, as the doctor passed by, I saw a doctor sighed and shook his head, “I am sorry I have try my best but his is still not in a positive situation, and we can’t figure out the reason clearly.”

The doctor finished his words and walked away, I knew it’s true that the child was not able to recover right now.

Shortly after the doctor left, the man cried depressingly in the ward, people showed sympathy for him.

There was always a question bother me that it is impossible to seek ritual objects by a powerful evil god himself. It must be a wish, and a voluntary sacrifice, but from the expression on the man’s face, it seemed like he really doesn’t know the existence of evil spirit, and his care for his child was so touching. I was quite sure about that because I observed the whole thing.

But where did the evil spirits come from? I got totally lost.

The man was aggressive. He cried for a while, and blamed Zhou Yan for a while. It was not wise to get myself involved under this situation.

I thought for a while then decided to leave the hospital, returned to the hotel and drew a note paper, which was taught by Huang Xiaolong. The note was hoped to strengthen the spirit, also suitable for the children’s issue at present. But this was my first note, the effect would not be good, I guessed the effect can only last for a day .

I got back to the hospital in a hurry, entered the ward, now it was the time for lunch, the man was not there, probably got himself something to eat, for god’s sake, the child’s spirit was not been sucked now, he lied flat peacefully, breath weakly.

As I went in, I was noticed by Zhou Yan, who was watching the child in a static manner “Who are you ?” She asked.

I shut the door in despite the tense from eyes of her. Zhou Yan was superstitious but I thought I could tell her directly.

I said, “this note is sent from Grandpa Zhang to guarantee the child’s safety for one day. You should wait for him now he is trying to save your child in anther way.” I handed over the note paper which was folded into a small triangle in my hand.

“Don’t worry” I told her, “Grandpa Zhang and I are trying to solve the problem.

Zhou Yan nodded and was about to open her mouth. Her man pushed the door and came in with a lunch bowl. He looked at us surprisingly.

I didn’t expect the man to come back so fast. In a hurry I introduced myself to him in a smart way, “Zhou Jie, Is this your husband?”

Zhou Yan understood me quickly. She carefully hide the paper into bed and said: “yes.”

I said hello to the man warmly. Although he did not know who I was. He nodded slightly and looked at Zhou Yan with suspicion.

Zhou Yan introduced me, “He is my workmate. We met just now.”

The man was not hostile anymore and greeted me friendly. I learned that his name was Zheng Chen.

It was a little awkward because I didn’t expect his sudden appearance at all so I pretended I care about the child’s situation very much. Zheng Chen thought Zhou Yan had told me already so he sighed, “I do not know what evil things I have done in my last life. Your little nephew was comatose for three years, at the beginning we didn’t pay enough attention to it, but the situation became worse, now It’s lucky for him to wake up for 1 or 2 hours every single day.

I nodded my head and comforted him for a while then I asked, “what did the doctors say?”

Zheng Chen became a little angry: “what did the doctor say? They knew nothing! Always tell us to wait and wait but my poor boy…”

Zheng Chen could not help to sob and maybe he noticed that some people were out there he soon wipe his tears.

I took a few hundred dollars out of my pocket. Zheng Chen received the money at my insistence. At the same time, Zhou Yan finished her lunch, handed the bowl to Zheng Chen and asked him to go and wash the dishes.

Zheng Chen greeted me and went out with the bowl. Zhou Yan looked at me in a great hope.

I did not enjoy the feeling, been anticipated to be success, like a pair of big shoes you had to fill.

I said fast: “put the note paper in the children’s clothes or under the pillow, never leave the child far away.”

Zhou Yan listened carefully and nodded.

I hesitated for a moment: “well, try to make Zheng Chen less contact with the boy, or just let him stay away from the ward.”

Zhou Yan’s face was pale, and her lips trembled. “So, this was his fault?”

I shook my head, “Zhou Jie, calm down, not his fault. It’s just that Zheng Chen may be followed by something. Any strange actions did Zheng Chen do or any strange placed did he go before the child was sick?”

Zhou Yan sat in silent for a while, just about to say something, but Zheng Chen came back again. It was not a good time to stay. I asked Zhou Yan’s number in an excuse that I got a new cell phone, so I have to keep her number again then I left.

I went to fortune-telling booth, and Grandpa Zhang didn’t return, so I ate something and went back to hotel.

Just as I arrived at the hotel, Zhou Yan sent a message, saying that the family was in a poor condition before the child was sick. Later, Zheng Chen bought a small tea house in the hands of his friends. The tea house was a lucrative business.

At that time, Zheng Chen was basically in the tea house every day, nothing unusual, nor did he go anywhere, he threw himself into business.

I asked the location of the tea house and reminded Zhou Yan deleting the message and then I sat down began to think about it. In the light of Grandpa Zhang ‘s statement, the problem had something to do with the tea house probably.

Looking at my watch, it was a long before draw. I went out directly to the address given by Zhou Yan, where the mall and the supermarket had been built. I went around and didn’t find anything strange.

I didn’t know whether it was convenient for Zhou Yan to send a text message, so I gave up. When she contacted me, I would ask her something by the way.

Early in the second days, Zhou Yan sent a message, with sincerely thanks, thanks to the note, the child woke up last night for 2 hours, and now the doctor was reviewing the child’s condition.

I replied her with my congratulation, and then asked the details of the small tea house but did not get any useful information from her. I thought for a while, and told Zhou Yan to make a proper excuse, I want to check her house . Zhou Yan totally agreed with my proposal, but the child has a lot of examination to do, it was impossible for her to leave right now.

I went to the fortune-telling stall, but the fortune-telling stall did not show then I asked the boss of the stall. The boss said that last night, the old man came back, after all, he was more than 70, the police did not want to take the risk.

But the police banned him to do fortune telling business anymore. So, the old man took his stuff leaved early in the morning, no one knew where he went.
