Chapter 170 Believe in Science

As expected, Jiang Yiqing was right. As a staunch materialist, Zhang Chen was amused when he heard his words: "Junior, when did you become so weird?"

As a doctor, he naturally would not believe those nonsense: "I have seen many cases of unexplained fever, and no problem has been found. At the beginning, some family members would also be weird, but later the problem was always found. Just check one by one."

Jiang Yiqing was not surprised by his reaction: "Senior, why don't you let me try?"

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment: "I remember that you didn't study medicine in college."

"Yes, you may not know, but I am actually a heavenly master." Jiang Yiqing smiled and said.

Zhang Chen: "..."

He frowned: "Are you kidding?"

"Senior, it's not appropriate to joke around when it comes to human life." Jiang Yiqing suddenly stopped smiling, and his handsome face inexplicably carried a bit of aura that made people irresistible.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt that Jiang Yiqing was very strange at this moment. When he came to his senses, he found that he had nodded in agreement.

Zhang Chen: "..."

He had never thought that as a doctor, he would believe this. Thinking about it, he just felt ridiculous.

Seeing Jiang Yiqing approaching Dou Zikun's bed, Zhang Chen half-jokingly said, "If you ask my nephew to drink the magic water, I won't agree."

Jiang Yiqing glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Don't worry."

"What magic water? Is Zikun possessed by evil spirits?" Zhang Miaozhu was confused and looked at Jiang Yiqing pleadingly without thinking, "Are you the master invited by Zhang Chen? Wuwuwu, please save Zikun!"

Zhang Chen: "..."

He even doubted whether this was his biological sister. I wonder if he didn't believe these at all?

To be honest, Zhang Chen still doesn't believe this. If it weren't for the junior student he trusted standing in front of him, he would have driven him away long ago.

Well, not drinking the magic water is his bottom line. As for the rest, it depends on the other party.

Then, he saw Jiang Yiqing took out a silver needle from somewhere.

Jiang Yiqing: "Can I take a drop of blood? Just on your finger."

Zhang Chen was a little confused, but Zhang Miaozhu beside him had already nodded.

Seeing Jiang Yiqing quickly prick Dou Zikun's fingertip, Zhang Chen's eyelids twitched and he looked at his sister: "Sister, you agreed too quickly."

Zhang Miaozhu looked confused: "The blood drawn for the examination just now was much more than this."

Zhang Chen: "..." How can it be the same?

How could a good junior suddenly become a master? Anyway, he still didn't believe it. Well, he would persuade him later.

Zhang Chen was thinking worriedly, and then he saw Jiang Yiqing using Dou Zikun's blood as a smear to draw something in the void, and then said: "It's okay for now, the fever will be relieved soon, and we have to wait for the child to wake up before we can solve it."

Zhang Chen laughed and cried: "Junior brother, is this the end?"

He was about to say, are you kidding? The man next to Jiang Yiqing looked over and released cold air. Zhang Chen was so scared that he dared not speak.

As a result, the man turned his head to look at Jiang Yiqing, and his face immediately changed from winter to spring. He wiped the non-existent sweat on the other's forehead and whispered: "Are you tired?"

Zhang Chen: "..."

Jiang Yiqing shook his head, with an apologetic look between his eyebrows: "Sorry, I promised to accompany you recently."

Xiu Yan naturally thought that Jiang Yiqing's attention was always on him, but he was a ghost with a sense of crisis now, so of course he had to be more sensible and generous. He

immediately smiled and said: "Aren't you accompanying me now?"

Zhang Chen was still thinking about how to make his junior look better later. As a result, he was thinking, he heard Zhang Miaozhu excitedly said: "The temperature has dropped, it seems not so hot anymore!"

Zhang Chen was startled, and he suspected that his sister was too worried about his nephew, so she sensed something wrong.

He walked over and touched Dou Zikun's forehead, and found that... it really didn't seem so hot anymore!

Compared to the pure joy of Zhang Miaozhu and Dou Hangtian, Zhang Chen was happy but also had complicated feelings, as if science had never interfered with metaphysics.

"Junior brother, you..." Zhang Chen came over, and Jiang Yiqing was curious about what he was going to say, and then he heard him say, "Actually, you studied Chinese medicine, right? I remember there is a treatment method in Chinese medicine, which is bloodletting..."

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

Senior, this materialist, was really too firm.

Zhang Chen touched his nose, he had no choice, he really couldn't accept the feeling of his worldview being overturned for a while!

Dou Zikun's temperature quickly dropped and returned to normal.

Zhang Miaozhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked over eagerly. Zhang Chen was about to speak, but he saw his sister bypass him and walked in front of Jiang Yiqing.

Zhang Chen: "..."

Zhang Miaozhu really didn't ignore her brother on purpose. She came over to ask about Dou Zikun's situation: "Master, my son should be okay now, right? Is there anything I need to pay attention to later?"

Jiang Yiqing shook his head: "The temperature has only dropped temporarily, and the thing beside him hasn't left yet."

Others couldn't see it, but Jiang Yiqing saw it clearly. Dou Zikun was always followed by an old "person" with a bun, two wisps of beard, and tattered long gown.

The other person was not a person, but looked like a ghost.

Ghosts were candidates who failed the imperial examinations in ancient times. They were obsessed with the examinations and were unwilling to reincarnate. They would turn into pen fairies until someone summoned them out.

Once they are summoned, they will take the exam on behalf of the candidates, but don't think you have taken advantage, because most of the exam ghosts are stubborn and don't know how to adapt. No matter what the questions are, they will only answer according to their own ideas.

The reason why Dou Zikun always ranks last in the exam is already very obvious.

Why are the answers on his papers always incomprehensible? It's not that he deliberately rebelled against his mother, but that he didn't answer them at all.

And this exam ghost has probably been with Dou Zikun for quite some time. If it is a ghost, it will have yin energy. How can it not affect people if it keeps following them?

So Dou Zikun's fever this time actually has nothing to do with being locked outside and frozen. But with a mother like Zhang Miaozhu, he doesn't want to explain this point.

After hearing what Jiang Yiqing said, Zhang Miaozhu's face immediately turned pale and his body trembled: "Master, don't scare me. How could there be such a thing in broad daylight!"

As a pen fairy, the exam ghost can follow the person who summons him during the day after being summoned.

At this time, the exam ghost was still circling Dou Zikun's bed, muttering as he walked: "What's wrong with my answer! It must be that the examiner made a mistake in marking the paper! You kid, you can't stand the slightest blow. How come you fainted for no reason! I haven't discussed this question with you yet!"

Jiang Yiqing heard this: "..." Let's not discuss it.

The exam ghost obviously loves to study. Seeing that Dou Zikun was unconscious, he could only sigh hard, took out a paper from somewhere, and squatted beside him with an embarrassed look to read it.

Looking at the scientific research ghost doing the Asian squat, Jiang Yiqing always felt a strong sense of incongruity.

Zhang Chen felt that the three views he had built up over the years were about to collapse. He quietly came over and heard the conversation between Jiang Yiqing and the others. His hair stood on end and he rubbed his arms: "I always feel cold all of a sudden, what's going on?"

This was not Zhang Chen's illusion, because he came over and happened to face the scientific research ghost who was studying the test paper with his butt.

The scientific research ghost felt that this person was too rude. He was swearing at people with a beard and a glare. It would be strange if he didn't feel cold when the ghost came so close to him and blew air into his ears.

"Ahem, move over here." Jiang Yiqing reached out to pull Zhang Chen, asking him to stand closer to him, and then said to the air: "Sorry, my friend can't see you."

Zhang Chen: "..." Even scarier, okay? !

The scientific expedition ghost was not much better. When he found out that someone could see him, his face immediately changed drastically. He screamed and wanted to run away, but he was connected to Dou Zikun, so he couldn't get too far away from him. He could only scream while being dragged back by an invisible force.

In the end, he cried and hugged himself, and asked Jiang Yiqing loudly: "Who are you? How can you see me!"

Jiang Yiqing: "..." Are you a ghost or am I a ghost? !

He was a little speechless and did not answer the question about the scientific research ghost. After all, with the other party's courage, if he said he was a heavenly master, he was afraid that the ghost would be scared to death on the spot.

Hmm... Will the ghost be scared to death? I don't know.

When Jiang Yiqing pulled Zhang Chen to his side, Xiu Yan secretly pulled down a face. It happened that the Lord Ghost King allowed the humans he liked to find that he was too stingy, so when Jiang Yiqing looked over, he immediately squeezed out a smile.

His expression changed back and forth, and it was very split.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen thought he was also scared, and couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy: "This... sir, are you okay?"

In fact, Zhang Chen wanted to call the other party "brother", but Xiu Yan's aura was too strong, and he didn't have the courage, so he could only change the title.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Jiang Yiqing turned his head to look at Xiu Yan, whose eyelids twitched.

He is the Ghost King? He is afraid of ghosts? Ha, what are you talking about...

Jiang Yiqing reached out and held his hand, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

The Ghost King immediately became dizzy. He said weakly, "I'm fine, just a little... scared."

Jiang Yiqing was a little worried. He didn't know that his boyfriend was afraid of ghosts after losing his memory. He didn't seem to be afraid before?

He didn't have time to think about it. He said guiltily, "Will it be better to stay close to me? Or should I take you home first?"

Although sending someone back would take time, Dou Zikun's condition was stable now, and he couldn't bear to let his boyfriend go home alone.

When the Ghost King heard this, he asked him to go home? How could that be possible? He had to stick to Yiqing.

"No, I'll just stay next to you." Xiu Yan said with a 'sensible' look on his face.

Jiang Yiqing was relieved after he was sure that he was fine.

Zhang Chen, a single man standing next to him, did not react when he saw the interaction between the two. He was so shocked by the fact that 'there are ghosts in the world' that he was speechless .

To be honest, if someone had told him this a day ago, no, an hour ago, he would have thought that he was a fool.

But now, Jiang Yiqing easily reduced the fever for his nephew, so he had to believe it.

He swallowed and stood cautiously beside Jiang Yiqing, not daring to move an inch.

But for some reason, he always felt a little cold. Zhang Chen was muttering to himself, not paying any attention to the death gaze of the Ghost King.

Zhang Miaozhu touched Dou Zikun's face with concern, and felt that the temperature had basically dropped, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She

turned her head and asked Jiang Yiqing: "Master Jiang, why hasn't my son woken up yet?"

Dou Hangtian also stared at Jiang Yiqing nervously.

"No problem, he should wake up soon." Jiang Yiqing checked Dou Zikun's condition. After all, this was a hospital with many people and eyes. He said: "Take him home first."

Zhang Miaozhu and Dou Hangtian nodded quickly. Zhang Chen on the side was hesitant to speak and wanted to stop them. After all, the hospital had to check again, but seeing Jiang Yiqing's determined expression, he could only shut up.

Alas!

After arriving at the Dou family in a chaotic situation, Dou Zikun really woke up slowly. The moment he saw his mother, he was a little nervous and carefully observed the other party's face.

Dou Hangtian naturally noticed it, and quickly pushed Zhang Miaozhu aside, holding a cup of hot water and feeding it to Dou Zikun: "Zikun, come and drink some hot water."

Dou Zikun was indeed not so nervous, and drank the water obediently.

Zhang Miaozhu watched his every move, and felt very sad. She worked hard to raise the child, and she had paid much more than Dou Hangtian as a father, so why didn't the child get close to her?

Zhang Miaozhu didn't realize her mistake yet, and just felt very wronged.

Originally, she was also full of worries about Dou Zikun, but when he woke up, she couldn't hear what he said. "Zikun, now that you are awake, tell me what is with you. Why didn't you tell your mother before?"

Dou Hangtian frowned and glared at her. Looking at the extremely nervous Dou Zikun, he sighed and said, "Your mother is concerned about you. Zikun, tell me slowly. What happened?"

Dou Zikun looked at Zhang Miaozhu cautiously. He was a little afraid of the other party, so even if he wanted to ask for help, he didn't dare to say it.

Things suddenly came to a stalemate. In the end, Dou Hangtian pulled Zhang Miaozhu out and said that he wanted to talk it out. As a result, after a while, the two of them quarreled.

"...Dou Hangtian, you should speak with conscience. He is my son. How can I deliberately scare him?" Zhang Miaozhu said loudly, sounding quite aggrieved.

"You didn't scare him on purpose, but look at your expression just now. Not to mention a child who has been oppressed by you for so long, even an adult like me would be scared!" Dou Hangtian originally spoke in a low voice, but Zhang Miaozhu's voice was so loud that he unconsciously raised the volume. "

Oppression? You call this oppression?" Zhang Miaozhu couldn't believe that one day someone would describe a mother's harshness to her child as 'oppression'!

"Isn't it? Didn't you see that Zikun was so scared by you that he didn't want to say anything?" Dou Hangtian didn't think he said anything wrong: "See, in his eyes, you are scarier than a ghost!"

Zhang Miaozhu cried out "Wow", Zhang Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and ran out to tell the two to shut up and stop arguing.

Jiang Yiqing looked at Dou Zikun worriedly, and found that the other party didn't react much after hearing his parents' quarrel, and it was obvious that he was used to it.

He sighed, and saw Zhang Chen hurried in again, smiled at him apologetically, followed by Dou Hangtian and Zhang Miaozhu and his wife. Zhang Chen didn't know what he said to them, and the two looked depressed and stopped arguing.

Zhang Chen walked to Dou Zikun and smiled: "Zikun."

Dou Zikun obviously liked Zhang Chen as his uncle. After seeing him, he relaxed a lot and smiled: "Uncle."

"Hey, why are you sick for no reason? Uncle said before that he would take you to McDonald's." Dou Zikun was very strict with Zhang Miaozhu. He had eaten the so-called "junk food" only a few times since he was a child. Obviously, McDonald's was very tempting to him.

Zhang Miaozhu frowned when she heard this. Just when she was about to say something, Dou Hangtian looked at her and she shut up in grievance.

She really felt wronged. Every day she made delicious food for Dou Zikun in different ways. Which one was not better than the junk food in McDonald's?

Dou Zikun didn't notice his mother's expression. He looked at Zhang Chen expectantly, but when he thought of his illness, his face fell again. Then he said nervously, "But, I didn't do well in the exams these few times."

"It's just eating McDonald's. Do I need to do well in the exams?" Although Zhang Chen knew that his sister had always been very strict with his nephew, he only found out how strict she was today. Looking at his nephew's expression, he felt a little pity.

Perhaps he was comforted by such an attitude, Dou Zikun relaxed a lot, but at the same time he was a little confused, because what his uncle said was completely different from what his mother usually asked of him.

"Don't worry, your uncle promised you that when you get better, I will take you to eat." Zhang Chen looked particularly reliable.

Without waiting for Dou Zikun to smile, Zhang Chen hesitated and said, "But..."

Seeing Dou Zikun looking at him nervously, Zhang Chen said, "That uncle said that there is something dirty around you. If you don't deal with it, you will always be sick, and you don't know when you can eat McDonald's again."

Dou Zikun's eyes widened, and he had no idea that his illness this time was related to this.

The scientific research ghost beside him shook his sleeves and stomped his feet angrily: "Nonsense! I am not a dirty thing!"

As he said that, he looked at his clothes that he hadn't washed for many years, his old face turned red, and he muttered depressedly: "Ghosts are things, how can they be said to be dirty?"

Dou Zikun's face was tangled. He didn't know whether he should tell his uncle about this, but since that time, the scientific research ghost has indeed been following him.

Except for the first time when he asked the exam ghost to help him, every time afterwards, the exam ghost insisted on taking the exam for him, and he had no way to refuse, because every time he would fall asleep, and when he woke up, the exam was over.

Dou Zikun pursed his lips, and after struggling for a long time, he finally said it.

This matter is actually very simple. That day, the classmates in the class gathered together in twos and threes to play, and Dou Zikun was still sitting in his seat doing questions as before.

The other classmates have become accustomed to it. Dou Zikun is like this every time, and he works very hard. When they were playing, they didn't call each other, and they just sat not far away and played with laughter. Because it was during the break, they didn't deliberately suppress the noise.

A classmate pretended to be mysterious and said quietly: "Let's play with the Pen Fairy~"

"Pen Fairy? What is that, a fairy?"

"Tsk, you don't understand at first glance. The Pen Fairy is not a fairy, it's a ghost~"

"Ah! I don't want to play, I'm scared!"

"Come on, it's quite fun. You just need to write down your question on a piece of paper, and then two people hold a pen and recite a spell, and you will get the answer you want."

"Is it really that magical? Then I want to ask, can my mom give me more pocket money next month."

"Haha, do you think the Pen Fairy will be a top student? It would be great if it could help me with the exam."

"Ahhh, don't say that, I almost forgot that I have to take the exam again. I feel sad when you mention it."

Dou Zikun on the side naturally heard what they said clearly. He didn't care at first, but when he heard about taking the exam for someone else, he suddenly felt moved.

He was now afraid of taking exams, because if he didn't get a perfect score, his mother would nag him.

Thinking of this, Dou Zikun's face darkened.

In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the pen fairy to get a perfect score for him, and took the initiative to play the game with his classmates for the first time.

After the game was over, he didn't feel anything, and asked his classmates: "Didn't they say there was a pen fairy..."

"Hahaha, where is there a pen fairy? We were just joking. You must have studied too hard."

Dou Zikun was stunned when he heard this, and continued to practice questions in disappointment. He didn't even have time to argue with the other party.

However, he did not expect that that night, an old man in a robe and with a beard appeared in his room and said, "I was summoned by you to fulfill your wish."

Dou Zikun was a little scared at first, but when he heard that the other party could fulfill his wish, he was no longer afraid and even asked, "Can you help me get a full score?"

The exam ghost put his hands behind his back and said confidently, "Of course."

"Are you sure? Our questions are a bit difficult." Dou Zikun was a little skeptical, mainly because he was too afraid of failing the exam.

The exam ghost was questioned and his beard curled up in anger: "Difficult? What questions can stump a top scholar like me!"

Yes, the exam ghost said that he was a top scholar at a young age and later became the prime minister!

Dou Zikun was a little confused when he heard this: "Then why are you now..."

Before he could finish, the Examination Ghost said angrily: "I just think you students are too stupid! I am kind enough to give you some pointers!"

Seeing the other party's look, Dou Zikun simply believed it. Since he could get the top score, the questions in junior high school should be easy for him.

Just like that, Dou Zikun had never been so confident before, and even boasted to Zhang Miaozhu that he would definitely get full marks.

The result is predictable. The exam ghost explained anxiously that he had made a mistake, but Dou Zikun was really stupid to still believe in him now, and he firmly did not believe in him.

But he did not expect that the exam ghost would rely on him. Every time he took an exam, he would faint. When he woke up again, the exam was over and the test paper was full of answers.

In this way, Dou Zikun was forced to take the last place in the exam again and again.

After hearing this, Zhang Chen just thought he was sick! He had to take the exam even if he did not do well. Isn't this harming others?

Jiang Yiqing glanced at the science ghost beside him, with a look of doubt: "Are you really the top scholar?"

"Of course, it's true..." The science ghost was calm about the fact that Jiang Yiqing could see him, and immediately answered in a very pretentious way. As a result, halfway through his words, he found Xiu Yan frowning at him.

The science ghost trembled and said honestly: "...Well, I am just a scholar, not much different."

Jiang Yiqing: "..." This is too much different!
