Chapter 172 People from the Capital
Ning Bao didn't answer the starving ghost's question; instead, she directly asked him a question in return.
"Then why do you hurt people? Can't you just be a good ghost?"
"Why?" The starving ghost's eyes bulged with anger.
"Because God is unfair!"
Why do we refugees have to starve to death while the rich can eat and drink well?
Why do natural disasters befall us poor people while the rich are unaffected?
They even went to provide disaster relief in a fake way, bringing only a tiny bit of food that wasn't even enough to fill everyone's teeth. Why did they go so late?
If they had gone a day earlier, I, this old woman, wouldn't have starved to death.
Have you ever been hungry? Do you know how terrible it feels to starve to death?
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.
"How can you be so unreasonable, old man?"
Natural disasters are a matter for the heavens, what does it have to do with the young master of the Zhang family? If you have the guts, go and reason with God; if you don't, don't retaliate recklessly.
The Zhang family kindly brought food to the refugees, and you're finding fault with it? You complain that they delivered the food late, so why didn't you live a few more days? You weren't born with that kind of life, yet you complain about the unfairness of fate!
After Ning Bao finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at the starving ghost.
Madam Zhang still had her yin eyes open, and she saw the starving ghost. After hearing what the old woman in the starving ghost said, Madam Zhang felt a little depressed.
"When Yu'er and I came back from outside, we saw a lot of refugees outside the city. We thought we should do our part and provide porridge for half a month. I thought I was doing a good deed."
I never imagined it would almost harm my Yu'er. That hungry ghost must have followed Yu'er back around that time.
The starving ghost nodded confidently.
"Yes, you're absolutely right. I did start targeting you around that time."
Do you know that I barely breathed my last before you carried the porridge buckets to distribute porridge? How can I accept that?
"I never had a proper meal while I was alive, so I want to eat well after I die."
Seeing the stubborn, starving ghost, Ningbao didn't want to waste any more words on her. With a wave of her hand, she chanted a spell and sent her to the eighteenth level of hell...
Although the hungry ghost had left Zhang Zhenyu, he was extremely weak, and his stomach felt like it was about to burst.
Ning Bao used her spiritual power to repair his life essence. Looking at Zhang Zhenyu's stomach, which seemed about to explode, she frowned.
"Auntie, I'm very good at catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. But I can't help with this little brother's belly."
Mrs. Zhang looked at her pale-faced son with a face full of worry.
"Ningbao, this ghost has already taken Yu'er away, won't he get better? What should we do?"
Ning Bao frowned. She was good at catching ghosts, but not so good at healing.
However, Zhang Zhenyu's problem didn't bother Ning Bao, who took out a packet of medicine powder from her bag.
"Auntie, it's okay if the little brother just has diarrhea."
This powder will cause diarrhea; I got it from my senior brother.
Seeing that Madam Zhang reached out to take the medicine powder from Ningbao's hand without hesitation, Shen Junshan quickly stopped her.
“Madam Zhang, Ningbao doesn’t know anything about medicine. Your young master is weak, so it’s best not to give him any medicine indiscriminately. I think you should find a doctor to come and take a look.”
Mrs. Zhang sighed.
"To be honest, no matter how big our Zhang mansion is, I can't even find a doctor right now."
We used to have physicians in our household, but because they couldn't cure Yu'er's illness, my husband got angry and drove them all away.
My husband has basically offended all the doctors in Lanyu City. Now, they refuse to treat anyone who comes from the Zhang family.
So I can't call a doctor right now, and I trust Ningbao; the medicine Ningbao gave me will definitely be fine for Yu'er."
As she spoke, Madam Zhang took the medicine powder and prepared to feed it to Zhang Zhenyu.
But just as she was about to act, she was stopped by her trusted nanny.
"Madam, Master has gone to invite the doctor from the capital. Perhaps we should wait a little longer."
Mrs. Zhang shook her head.
"I heard that the doctor from the capital is very skilled, and his family has been doctors for generations. This young master is even more gifted, and his medical skills are already very high at such a young age."
But I heard that the young master refused several people who came to him seeking medical help. Apparently, he didn't have time; he was in a hurry to find someone.
"Our master is most likely unable to get anyone to come, and Yu'er looks very unwell; we can't delay any longer. Nanny, bring some water..."
Without hesitation, Madam Zhang fed the entire packet of medicine powder into Zhang Zhenyu's arms.
Ningbao saw Madam Zhang's actions and quickly reached out to stop her, but Madam Zhang was too fast...
Sigh! The dosage seems a bit too high!
