This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 272 Divine Doctor Luo Zijun

Outside the window, the night was gradually receding.

Luo Zijun and Bai Qingtong talked in the room for a while, then each lost in their own thoughts, they closed their eyes to rest.

The night passed quickly.

As the sky outside the window began to lighten, the girl on the bed stirred, seemingly about to wake up.

At this moment, Bai Qingtong also opened her eyes in the chair and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you still haven't told me how you can see ghosts, catch ghosts, and have your soul leave your body."

Luo Zijun opened her eyes and said, "Why should I tell you?"

Bai Qingtong snorted and said, "Because I'm your sister-in-law. Brother-in-law, you've changed. Back then, you were so obedient and respectful to her, but now you're so arrogant and rude."

Luo Zijun said, "Back then, the Third Miss didn't dare to hug me, much less pee in front of me."

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingtong immediately stood up, stamping her foot in embarrassment and anger, and said, "Brother-in-law, you are not allowed to mention what happened last night again!"

Luo Zijun shrugged: "Then don't bring up the past."

"Humph!"

Bai Qingtong glared at him in embarrassment and anger, then suddenly threatened, "When I get back today, I'll tell my sister that my brother-in-law bullied me last night."

Luo Zijun asked, "How did I bully you?"

Bai Qingtong blushed and said, "You...you kissed me."

Luo Zijun was speechless: "You're turning the tables on me! You were the one who kissed me when I wasn't looking."

Bai Qingtong suddenly chuckled and retorted, "It was clearly my brother-in-law who deliberately got so close to him!"

Luo Zijun said, "I don't know who deliberately got close to whom last night."

Bai Qingtong said, "Brother-in-law! It's brother-in-law!"

Luo Zijun stopped arguing with her and looked at the bed.

At this moment, the girl on the bed blinked a few times, suddenly trembled, screamed, and sat up.

"Wenfang..."

Bai Qingtong quickly went over.

"what!"

Yang Wenfang was suddenly startled and hurriedly shrank to the corner of the bed.

Luo Zijun quickly lit the oil lamp on the table.

The dimly lit room finally became bright.

"Wenfang, it's me."

Bai Qingtong came to the bedside and took her trembling hand in hers.

Yang Wenfang finally saw her clearly, paused for a moment, then looked at the handsome young man behind her, and stared blankly, somewhat surprised and delighted: "Qingtong, Young Master Luo, you...you didn't leave?"

Bai Qingtong's expression was complicated. Not daring to tell her the truth, she said, "We were afraid you would have nightmares again, so we came back to keep you company."

Yang Wenfang's chest heaved, her forehead was covered in sweat, her eyes were filled with fear, and she gasped, "I...I really did have another nightmare..."

Luo Zijun gently comforted her, "It should be fine after tonight."

Yang Wenfang looked at him nervously and said, "Young Master Luo, my illness..."

"It's ready."

Luo Zijun said calmly.

Yang Wenfang was taken aback, and asked with some doubt, "How...how did Young Master Luo cure me?"

Luo Zijun said, "While you were asleep, I gave you acupuncture and fed you some medicine. You should be fine now."

"Silver needles?"

Yang Wenfang blinked, glanced down at her body wrapped in a blanket, her face flushed, and asked shyly, "Then... then, Young Master Luo, where did you prick me?"

Suddenly, she felt pain in her stomach, chest, and neck.

She touched her chest, blushing as she looked at him.

Luo Zijun coughed, unsure how to respond, when Bai Qingtong quickly said, "Wenfang, I helped with the acupuncture."

Yang Wenfang glanced at her, her face full of disbelief: "Qingtong, you're not a doctor."

Bai Qingtong said, "My brother-in-law taught me how to do it."

Yang Wenfang thought to herself: I'm not wearing any clothes. Even if he's teaching me, he'll definitely be teaching me step by step. Young Master Luo must have already seen my body naked...

She blushed and said "Oh," without saying anything more.

At this moment, the last trace of night outside the window had faded, and the sky gradually brightened.

A ray of dawn shone from the distant horizon.

Luo Zijun asked, "Before Miss Yang became bedridden, did she often have nightmares? Or was she frequently ill?"

Yang Wenfang nodded: "During that time, I had nightmares every night, and then I caught a cold and was often sick. Sometimes..."

A hint of fear flashed in her eyes as she said, "Sometimes I wake up at night and find the window open, and it seems like... there are shadows floating outside... I told my father and mother about it, and they said I was dreaming..." Luo Zijun understood.

"belch……"

At that moment, Yang Wenfang suddenly let out a burp.

Then she touched her stomach, looking puzzled, and asked, "Why do I feel so full even though I haven't eaten?"

Bai Qingtong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Luo Zijun explained calmly, "Your illness is rather special. It makes you feel very full, but it's actually consuming the blood and flesh in your body. Fortunately, it wasn't discovered too late. I cured you last night, and you should return to normal starting today."

Bai Qingtong glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Yang Wenfang said with a face full of gratitude, "Young Master Luo, thank you..."

"It's alright, you get some rest, we should go now."

Luo Zijun had many questions she wanted to ask, but seeing the situation before her, she knew it was best not to ask any more and had to take her leave.

Yang Wenfang frowned immediately, looking at the two of them with reluctance.

Luo Zijun added, "Go out and get some sunshine more often, and don't stay in a dark room all day. Also, spend more time with your father, or go on trips with some friends and go shopping more often."

Yang Wenfang was somewhat puzzled.

Luo Zijun didn't explain further, and simply bowed and took her leave.

"Wenfang, you get some rest. We'll be leaving now."

Bai Qingtong also bid farewell softly.

The two left the room, exchanged a glance, and remained silent. When they reached the small courtyard outside and saw the first rays of morning sunlight, the gloom in their hearts suddenly dissipated considerably.

Looking back on the scenes from last night, it all feels like a dream.

"When yin energy is too heavy, illness will plague you, making you an easy target for ghosts and monsters. Go out and interact more with people who have yang energy, and feel the lively atmosphere of the streets. This will naturally increase your vitality and strengthen your blood and qi. Ghosts and monsters will be afraid of people with strong blood and qi and dare not approach them..."

"She was already weak and didn't go out often, so ghosts would often come at night and blow eerie winds in her ears while she was asleep, giving her nightmares..."

“Every time she has a nightmare, she is terrified, and with each terror, her soul becomes weaker… Over time, her soul becomes extremely fragile, at which point ghosts can take advantage of the situation to invade her body and forcibly control it while she sleeps…”

As Luo Zijun left the courtyard, she explained in a low voice.

Bai Qingtong was deeply shocked as she listened to this unheard-of knowledge, and her gaze towards him became increasingly puzzled.

"My brother-in-law is truly a man of few words..."

She sighed softly.

At this moment, Yang Zhen and Madam Yuan appeared. Seeing the two of them come out of the courtyard, they hurriedly came over and asked, "Young Master Luo, how is Fang'er?"

Luo Zijun said, "It should be fine. Bring her some food tonight and see if she eats it. In the future, let her go out more often and get some sunshine. Don't let her stay in the room for too long, and don't let her overthink all day, as that will damage her mind."

Upon hearing this, the two were immediately overjoyed.

Madam Yuan asked in disbelief, "Young Master Luo, is my Fang'er really alright? Has her illness been cured?"

Luo Zijun said, "The illness has been cured, but she is still a little weak and needs to rest for a few more days. Also, it would be best to change her to a room with better lighting."

Madam Yuan quickly replied, "Alright, we'll change it for her today."

Yang Zhen quickly clasped his hands in thanks, then thought for a moment, took out two silver notes from his sleeve, and said with a face full of shame, "Young Master Luo, I only have two hundred taels of silver here, which was given to me by someone else. I hope Young Master Luo will not find it too much."

Just as Bai Qingtong was about to refuse, Luo Zijun reached out and took it, saying, "That's enough, there's still more. Uncle Yang, don't be so polite. If Miss Yang has any more questions in the future, please feel free to come to the Bai residence to find me."

Yang Zhen quickly thanked him again.

Luo Zijun did not stay any longer and bid farewell to Bai Qingtong.

Yang Zhen and Madam Yuan hurriedly escorted the two to the gate. After they had gone some distance, Madam Yuan whispered with some doubt, "Master, did he really cure Fang'er's illness? So many doctors were helpless, and even the imperial physicians from the palace told us to prepare for the worst..."

Yang Zhen didn't answer, but turned around and said, "Let's go see Fang'er first."

When the two arrived at the back courtyard, they were surprised to find that their daughter, who had been bedridden for many days, was already dressed and standing in the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the two were both surprised and delighted.

"vomit--"

Yang Wenfang was standing bent over in the corner of the courtyard, vomiting.

The two rushed over and asked, "Fang'er, what's wrong?"

A large pool of filth had been vomited on the ground; it was all digested and corroded, and its appearance was no longer recognizable.

Yang Wenfang coughed up several mouthfuls of water before raising her head. She paused, then said, "Father, Mother, I feel much better. I have strength again, but..."

She glanced down at the filth on the ground, a look of confusion on her face: "But where did all these things in my stomach come from? Could it be, as Young Master Luo said... that they are all my own flesh and blood?"

Madam Yuan quickly brought her some water to rinse her mouth, and then helped her sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.

After resting for a moment, Yang Wenfang said, "I threw up what was in my stomach, and I feel much better, like...like I've suddenly come back to life..."

Madam Yuan burst into tears of joy: "Young Master Luo really didn't lie to us, Fang'er, you're cured..."

Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that Young Master Luo, at such a young age, would possess such miraculous medical skills, surpassing even the imperial physicians in the palace... The Bai family has truly struck gold. No wonder of the four great families, the other three have all declined, leaving only them, and they are thriving..."
