Chapter 11 Ghost Picking Skin
A considerable part of the oncology surgery will be overtime when moving. Chen Zheng's surgery was no exception. The original plan was to finish at 11:00 in the morning, but it was delayed until 3:30 in the afternoon. It was almost four o'clock when the three of them drove away. Chen Zheng was really good. He had already prepared 35,000 yuan in cash before departure. It seems that this person is not good at "below" and is a savage in other aspects. He can even do this to a dead child, let alone to live people?
In theory, it would be a very embarrassing thing to do with someone you are not familiar with, but Zhang Guoyi doesn't think so. To be honest, Zhang Guoyi has two hobbies in his life, one is to brag, and the other is to build relationships. Although Chen Zheng is a doctor and an oncologist, it is best to not deal with him in his life, but since he has already known him, it should be no harm to talk about the relationship. On the way, Zhang Guoyi's mouth was not idle, and he talked with Chen Zheng from the family planning policy until Israel's invasion of the Palestinian territory.
Chen Zheng is not a talkative person. To put it nicely, he is chatting, but in fact he just listens to Zhang Guoyi’s unilateral nonsense. Perhaps because the hospital environment is relatively dull, Chen Zheng seems to be quite interested in hearing Zhang Guoyi’s talk about this. He also talked a lot of opinions and dissatisfaction with the current medical system in groups of three or three. Unlike Zhang Guoyi’s chat content, Chen Zheng’s topic is basically related to his own job - medical care. As an educator, Zhang Guoyi has basically never talked about education along the way...
After chatting, the topic gradually shifted to marriage. Chen Zheng talked about his ex-wife Zhu Yufen without any hesitation. Even Zhang Guoyi was a little surprised. According to normal people's thinking, since he talked about Zhu Yufen, he must have talked about infertility. He thought that Chen Zheng would avoid such topics, but he didn't expect that this guy was more active than anyone else.
"I actually regret Yufen's affairs, actually..." Chen Zheng seemed a little disappointed when he mentioned Zhu Yufen. "I was too young at that time, and I didn't see some things very thoroughly. I cared too much about fame and face, so I had the result today..."
"You may not know the inside story about you and Big Sister Zhu..." Zhang Guoyi thought Chen Zheng was still suspicious of Zhu Yufen's affair. "In order to give you a surprise, he went to Hong Kong for artificial insemination. Old Chen, I tell you, I have organized a fight since 1970s. It cannot be said that I have seen countless people, but many people from all walks of life have also seen many serious people. I can see at a glance what kind of person and nature are. Although Big Sister Zhu has a little temper, she is not like the kind of person you think!" For some reason, Zhang Guoyi became a lobbyist for Zhu Yufen.
"Brother Zhang, it's not what you think..." Chen Zheng shook his head, his eyes confused and thoughtful, "Actually, I believe she has never done anything to sorry for me. I know her very well..."
"Then... then you..." Zhang Guoyi was stunned, "What's the point of breaking up the separation of his wife and children..."
According to Chen Zheng, he was a more traditional man. He thought that men suffering from fertility diseases was a shameful thing, so he concealed his condition from Zhu Yufen. The reason why he left Zhu Yufen was not entirely due to misunderstandings. In addition to misunderstandings, there was also a considerable part of the reason that he felt that Zhu Yufen's actions at that time undermined his dignity as a man.
"At that time, I was just a young boy, and I felt that such a thing was like a collapse of the sky and the earth for a man..." Chen Zheng looked straight at him, like a poet, "But over the years, when a person has witnessed countless separations of life and death, when a person has witnessed countless eyes that long for life or desire for liberation, what do they count? Maybe you don't understand, but if you stay in my seat for a few days, you will understand a truth. The meaning of life is actually life itself. Everything else is fake. Only by understanding this can you know how to cherish, cherish yourself, cherish others, and cherish everything that belongs to you..."
"Old Chen, you are quite like a poet..." Zhang Guoyi smiled and chatted for almost two hours before he realized that he was not on the same level as others. It is hard to imagine how such a person lived with Zhu Yufen's savage girlfriend.
"Sometimes I really want to be a poet..." Chen Zheng smiled, "Whenever I am helpless when I face a life that is about to die, I will have this kind of thought..."
"Old Chen, don't think I'm from the Education Bureau, in fact, you, Brother Zhang, I'm just a rough guy..." When talking about this, Zhang Guoyi simply changed his title, "To be honest, how is your current wife? Is it better to realize that you are?"
"Actually... I haven't gotten married again..." Chen Zheng smiled, "Maybe Yufen is the only one in the world who doesn't know..."
"Why?" Even Zhang Yicheng was stunned when he heard Chen Zheng say this.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I don't have the courage to face her again..." Chen Zheng was helpless, "In fact, it's good to live alone, and I'm used to it..."
"Old Chen, have you understood your life just now? In the end, it's still a matter of face..." Zhang Guoyi is a smart person, even if he is rough, and his noble philosophy is also written in vernacular. "I think Yufen is a good person, straightforward person, and it is very suitable for you to live with you. The couple must pay attention to complement each other's advantages. You see, your brother is careless, but when I look for a wife, I will choose the kind of person who is similar to you, Wen Zou Zou. Look at the eldest sister Zhu, the family is in good condition now and she is still good. She can help you with anything at home and outside. What else do you want? If you are really embarrassed, your brother will come forward to help you get along..."
To be honest, Zhang Yicheng was almost dead when he sat in the back row. He secretly reached his hand to the front row and kept poking Zhang Guoyi's arm with his fingers. He thought to himself that this old man was too irritating. Doctor Chen is a person of depth and has begun to think about the meaning of life. Even if you want to match someone, no matter whether it is true or false, you have to be more classy. The family conditions of Zhang Mouth are good, but it is still so cliché...
While talking, the car entered the city of Cangzhou. According to the address provided by the medical representative "Xiao Su", several people quickly found Guo Mingzhong's house in the city. As expected, there was no movement in the door room that had been knocking for a long time. According to neighbors, this person seemed to have not been home for more than a month. After finding a small restaurant for dinner, Zhang Guoyi stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the address of Guo Mingzhong's father's house.
Although it is a rural area, because the address information is relatively detailed, it is quite smooth to find it. The person who opened the door claimed to be Guo Mingzhong's second brother. After hearing Zhang Guoyi's explanation of the purpose of finding Guo Mingzhong was to ask about the information of "yin relatives", he closed the door tightly without saying a word, saying that Guo Mingzhong was sick recently and would talk about it after he had something to do. After that, no matter how he asked, no one answered.
Zhang Guoyi reacted very quickly. Seeing that asking "regular" questions was not effective, he simply shouted at the top of his throat, "I know you are inside! I kill someone to pay for your life, pay off your debts! I don't see anyone after taking the money! I cheated on money and gave birth to a son without an ass! If you don't come out again, I will call the police immediately!" Not to mention that, even though I didn't shout out the Guo family, I called out a group of neighbors. It seemed that it had formed public opinion pressure, Zhang Guoyi's voice was even louder. In less than five minutes, there were more than twenty fellow villagers gathered at the door of the Guo family, and the three layers inside and outside surrounded the door of the Guo family tightly. Everyone talked and talked, and they were talking and talking, and they were talking very much. After about a minute, they saw a small crack in the front door of the Guo family, and the person who was protruding his head was still the person who was known as Guo Mingzhong's second brother.
"Brother Guo, we are not urging you! Your brother charged us 20,000 yuan, and if he had nothing to do, he wouldn't find anyone!" After that, Zhang Guoyi really took out his phone and pressed 110 for a fake model. "Go and tell your brother, I'll be here today. If he doesn't come out again..."
Before Zhang Guoyi finished speaking, the second son of the Guo family simply creaked and pushed the door open halfway, "Come in! Isn't it just a few sluts! Call a ball and shout...! It's okay! It's okay! It's misunderstanding!" While cursing Zhang Guoyi with squinted eyes, the second son of the Guo family sent off the onlookers outside...
"Yeah?" Zhang Guoyi was confused, "You really admit that you owe me money? I would have known that you would have said 100,000..."
"I tell you! It's his business for him to owe you money!" After entering the hospital, the second son of the Guo family closed the door with a bang, "He is sick now. When he gets healed, you can pinch him! Don't mess around here!"
"What disease?" Chen Zheng couldn't help but ask. If you want to say that the disease is important and the disease is not important, I believe there is nothing better than Chen Zheng.
"Strange disease!" The second son of the Guo family is quite reasonable, "The others are here! If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself!"
"Let me see!" Chen Zheng really doesn't believe this evil. Judging from the decorations in the yard, your Guo family should be poor. I only need 35,000 yuan for this business. After working for so many years, I have not had a million yuan and it will be 800,000 yuan. If you are sick, you will waste your time at home and not go to the hospital?
"Okay!" One million of the Guo family members were not angry, and pulled Chen Zheng into the house, Zhang Guoyi and Zhang Yicheng followed closely behind. "Dad, there is another person coming to ask for the account!" After entering the house, the old couple were watching TV in the living room. Seeing that a few strangers came in outside, they didn't even raise their eyelids, and seemed to have become accustomed to it.
The second son of the Guo family lifted the curtain and directly led Chen Zheng to a bed in the inner room. He saw the infusion rack at the head of the bed, but there was no drip on the rack. There was indeed a person lying on the bed, but his back was facing outward and he could not see his face.
"This..." Chen Zheng walked to the hospital bed and was shocked. He saw that the whole face of the hospital bed seemed to have a layer of scaly patch. The skin on the cheeks seemed to have been separated from the deep muscles. It was wrinkled like a shredded dog. There was a faint green sore on the surface of the wrinkled skin, which reflected the light oily, and I don't know if it was thick or some other secretions.
"He... is he Guo Mingzhong?" Zhang Guoyi put his mouth close to Chen Zheng's ear and asked quietly.
"I don't know..." Chen Zheng whispered, "I have never seen him myself, I have only made a few phone calls, and... and even if I have seen Guo Mingzhong, I'm afraid I can't recognize him now!"
"He...what disease is he...?" To be honest, Zhang Guoyi was also disgusted at this time.
"It's hard to be sure..." Chen Zheng shook his head. To say that a disease that even Chen Zheng didn't recognize should be considered a "strange disease..."
"That's a 'ghost skin'!" The second son of the Guo family said angrily, "Tell him not to do those unethical business, but he doesn't listen! As a result, he got fucked and got such a bad habit! Wait for death!"
"Have you ever been to the hospital?" Chen Zheng was stunned.
"Have you seen it?" The second son of the Guo family deliberately extended the word "" and "In order to cure him of this unethical disease, my father almost folded the coffin in! This turtle fucked me and earned a long time of money. I don't know where he hid it. Now he is like a fool! Wait for death!"
"This...isn't it..." At the same time, Zhang Yicheng was also constantly looking at the illness in the bed, thinking that it would not be that coincidental, right? The patient on the bed in front of Zhang Yicheng couldn't help but remember the record of "Wansha Tribulation" in the book "Miscellaneous Notes of Taoist Medicine" mentioned by Lao Liu - "If the muscles are scattered, they will collapse without touching them, they will be as stupid as a wooden chicken, and they will not answer in words"...
"That...Uncle Guo..." Although Zhang Guoyi was cursing, Zhang Yicheng was still quite polite, "Have he... ever spoke normally?"
"That's a big deal!" The second son of the Guo family deliberately spitted, "If he could speak, let him take out the money first! Mom was so stupid... I got into trouble all day long. In the past two months, just asking for the accounts have come!"
According to the second son of the Guo family, Guo Mingzhong suddenly fell into a coma while having dinner with his friend. At first, he thought it was food poisoning and carried it to the hospital to wash his stomach. But later he woke up again, he was a virtue. He seemed to be conscious, but he could not speak or move. He could only eat liquid food. He could swallow it with a spoon and could not chew it in his mouth. He could also take care of others. His family once sent people to a large hospital in Tianjin for treatment, but it was not cured after a long time of treatment. Instead, he spent a lot of money and carried the people back. Some elderly people in the village seemed to understand this, saying that this disease was called "ghost skinning". If there was no treatment, they could only wait for death. If they got this disease, they would definitely be retribution for their money. In the old society, those who digging graves were prone to this disease.
"Nonsense..." Chen Zheng seemed to disagree with the statement of "ghost skinning". "Comrade Xiao Guo, tell you the truth. Your brother did promise us some things, but he did not owe us money..."
"Huh!?" When he heard that he didn't owe money, the second son of the Guo family stood up immediately, without waiting for Chen Zheng to say, "You guys don't owe money, you guys are going to make trouble!"
"Listen to me!" Chen Zheng had a good temper. "I am a doctor. Can you let me take some living samples from the patient and take them back for testing? Maybe... maybe I can help you get expert consultation..."
"There is nothing to do with consultation!" The second son of the Guo family looked disdainful, "I will die if I don't treat it..."
"Your mother is going to die!" The second son of the Guo family was cursing halfway, and suddenly another cruel old man came in outside the door. He cursed at the second son of the Guo family without saying a word. "Now you say you want him to wait for death. You owe money and let Lu Laoliu chase him all over the street with a knife. When Mingzhong followed his butt and paid the debt for you, why didn't you let him die? Your son was admitted to college, and Mingzhong paid his tuition for your son? Now he asked him to die, you can say it! Bah!" If you want to say this old man is really real, most people say "bah", which means you have such a spitting action, symbolically despising the other party. The old man's "bah" was a real "bah" and he was spitting out a mouthful of phlegm, and he was spitting on the nose of the Guo family.
"Dad! I said why are you like this..." The second son of the Guo family tried to find something to wipe his face while quibbling, "Isn't this to make them leave quickly!"
"Fart!" The old man's eyes were red, "I'm listening outside! They are not here to ask for the bill! They want to treat Mingzhong! What's wrong? Are you afraid that if Mingzhong is cured, you will not have your share in the city, right?? Let me tell you! Mingzhong's house is written in my name! I asked someone to demolish it, pull the bricks back and build a pigpen and don't keep it for you!"
"Dad!" The second child of the Guo family seemed quite unfair, "They must be a lie! Last time they went to Tianjin, the doctors from a large hospital said that this is a terrible disease! What are they? Look at which of these three people looks like doctors? They must be a lie to money! Why are you so confused?"
"I'm still stubborn!" Before the second son of the Guo family finished speaking, the old man actually raised the stick, "I'll beat you to death with a heartless person..."
"Uncle, please calm down..." Seeing that the old man was about to move, Chen Zheng hurriedly grabbed the old man. The second child of the Guo family took the opportunity to leave the house and went outside and probably complained to the old lady...
"You... are you really a doctor?" Putting down the stick, the old man kept looking at Chen Zheng.
"You are Guo Mingzhong's father..." Chen Zheng took out a business card and handed it to the old man, "I am indeed a doctor... I am not here for the account..."
"Oncology Department... Chief Physician... Chen Zheng..." The old man took out his reading glasses from his pocket, looked at them again and again in the light, "Oh, Dr. Chen... You have to help my Mingzhong. Without him, how can I live like a family member!?"
After some talks, it was learned that Guo Mingzhong seemed to be the only pillar of the Guo family. The Guo family originally had three sons, and the eldest son called Guo Yunquan. When he was twenty years old, he went to the lake to skate and drowned in an ice hole. The second son was the one who was beaten away just now, named Guo Yuchun. He was persuaded to leave before he graduated from elementary school. He made a living by gambling every day. Because he owe money to gambling, his wife also ran away and sold the house. He was in his forties but he stayed at his parents' house to rely on his parents' homes. Even the tuition fees for his son to go to college had to be paid by his younger brother Guo Mingzhong. In the eyes of Mr. Guo, the most promising and filial son among the three sons.
The son counted the third brother Guo Mingzhong. Not only did he give his parents a monthly pension, but he also gave his money to his unsatisfactory second brother every few days, and even bought a house under his father's name. In the past, the old man used Guo Mingzhong as a benchmark to scold the second brother Guo Yuchun for being useless. Although Guo Yuchun had to rely on his younger brother to support him, he always felt depressed when he heard the old man praise his younger brother and scold him. Whenever the old man scolded him with his younger brother as an example, he would say that his younger brother made money and would sooner or later he would be retribution. Unexpectedly, something really happened this time.
"I also know that Mingzhong is doing what he does to make a living. It should be a matter of accumulating virtue. How can it be like this!" In the eyes of Mr. Guo, the ghost media industry seems to be a very sunny profession.
"Uncle Guo, don't believe in those messy things..." Chen Zheng comforted, "In my experience, rare symptoms like this should be jointly consulted by experts from multiple departments. I will try my best to fight for him when I go back!"
"This... is not a ghost skin!" Chen Zhengzheng said, and Zhang Yicheng suddenly said, and everyone present was stunned. "Ghost skin is a ghost skin, this is this, it is not a big deal!" Zhang Yicheng was looking down at Guo Mingzhong's symptoms on the bed, "This is the Wansha Tribulation!"
"What?" Old Man Guo was stunned, as if he didn't hear it clearly.
"Ten thousand - evil - disaster!" Zhang Yicheng said word by word, "Ten thousand, ten thousand, the evil evil spirit, is in the catastrophe that cannot be escaped!"
"What is that?" Chen Zheng was also stunned. He never expected that Zhang Yicheng would express his opinion on "disease". "Is it the name of the disease?"
"Not exactly!" Zhang Yicheng stood up straight and turned his head over. "Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of arthritis is caused by moisture. This disease can be understood as the cause of ghost energy. It is not that the subjective intention of ghosts harms him, but that the ghost breath invades his body..." Zhang Yicheng tried to briefly repeat Lao Liu's narration of the ancient books such as "Miscellaneous Notes of Taoist Medicine" and "Sanqing Prescriptions". "What I meant is the scientific name of "ghost energy", just like the "wet energy" and "turbid air" in traditional Chinese medicine, it is invisible and intangible, but it will affect people's health!"
"Young man!" Before Zhang Yicheng could finish his words, Chen Zheng pulled Zhang Yicheng aside, "How can you say such irresponsible words? What do you think about the old man? And this is all superstition! How can you mislead the patient's family?"
"I..." Zhang Yicheng also looked innocent, "Didn't you come to Cangzhou for Zhu Huanyu's words 'Why haven't you come yet'? Why do you still say that I am superstitious..."
"I came to Cangzhou to fulfill my promise to Huanyu!" Chen Zheng said righteously, "I'm not for those weird things!"
"Yes, Old Chen, you came to fulfill your promise..." After hearing what Chen Zheng said, Zhang Guoyi was excited, "What are we fighting here? Hurry up and find the girl in the photo, it's important to do the important business..."
"Do your business? What should I do?" Chen Zheng frowned and pointed at Guo Mingzhong on the hospital bed. "Look at his current state, what is the difference between this and not finding him?"
"That's easy to do. Take his cell phone, look at the phone number above, and call it next to it and ask for clues..." Zhang Guoyi is quite experienced, "Mr. Guo, your son, do you have a cell phone?"
"Yes! Yes!" Old Man Guo turned his head and left the house. After a while, he brought a mobile phone from outside. Zhang Guoyi almost burst into tears when he saw it. This was a "big brick" he used five years ago. He didn't even have an LCD screen. It was impossible to have the function of storing numbers. "By the way, Mr. Guo, do you know where his phone number book was placed?"
Old Man Guo shook his head.
"Grandpa Guo, can you take us to Uncle Guo's house for a look?" Zhang Yicheng said, "We have a car and I'll send you back later!"
"This..." Old Man Guo seemed a little hesitant, "Can you help my son see a doctor?" Old Man Guo stammered and seemed to have a hard time saying it, "To be honest... I spent a lot of money to treat him a while ago, but my family really couldn't afford much money... Dr. Chen, can you stop going to the hospital procedures, and just prescribe some medicine for him privately and we give him an infusion at home?"
"Uncle Guo..." Chen Zheng seemed a little embarrassed, "I will fight for..." Chen Zheng actually wanted to say "Strive to get media reports and let the society donate", but before the second half of the sentence was finished, Zhang Yicheng took over the conversation, "Okay! Grandpa Guo, I promised you on behalf of Uncle Chen! We will help, and it's free! Can you take us there, right?"
"Oh!" After hearing what Zhang Yicheng said, Mr. Guo was immediately happy, "Okay! OK! Thank you, this little brother, thank you Dr. Chen! You are my great benefactor of the Guo family, so let me kowtow to you!" After that, he was about to kneel down, and Chen Zheng's face turned pale. He looked at the old man kneeling but didn't even react and came forward to support him. Thanks to Zhang Yicheng's quick hands and eyes, he hurriedly supported Mr. Guo, "Grandpa Guo, we will have a lifelong life after receiving your gift. Don't do this..."
"You...you..." Seeing Mr. Guo lifting the curtain and leaving the house excitedly, Chen Zheng was almost dead on the spot. He pointed at Zhang Yicheng for a long time and didn't say anything. How could this be possible? Not to mention not going through the formal procedures of the hospital, even if the procedures were completed, it would have to be a joint consultation between experts from various departments and using the most advanced diagnosis and treatment and testing equipment. It may not be possible to get results. How could it be treated for free by yourself? To be honest, what Chen Zheng regretted most was that he spent too much precious time studying academic research and did not make any time to study and curse...
"Doctor Chen! Don't worry, since my eldest nephew agreed, he will definitely do it!" Zhang Guoyi took advantage of the situation and started to brag again, "In terms of study, he is a key middle school in the city, and the top three in the grade! In terms of Yin and Yang and Five Elements, he has been a hero since ancient times, and the younger generation of the Yangtze River pushes the older generation! Don't be too young, he has definitely a good skill..." To be honest, Zhang Yicheng was also numb. Anyway, bragging can't kill anyone, so let him go...
Chapter completed!
