"Don't worry, Madam Jiang!" The young shop assistant immediately came over and said with a grin, "You know our Doctor Wang is very tight-lipped, and even the people in our pharmacy follow his example, not daring to say anything out of turn. It's just that there are too many people around..."
The young shop assistant said that he had said all he needed to say. Since there were many people around, they couldn't be entirely blamed on the pharmacy if something went wrong.
“I’m talking to Doctor Wang, do you, a little thing, have the right to interrupt?” Madam Jiang immediately raised her eyebrows.
It was the easygoing Doctor Wang who stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Madam Jiang, didn't you say your son wasn't feeling well? Why don't I go and take a look at him first?"
"Yes, yes, you must take a look at my Qiang'er quickly, he won't even eat today... How can we bear this? How can a child not eat?" Upon hearing about her son, Madam Jiang's attention was quickly diverted, and she took Doctor Wang to Jiang Yongqiang's room.
Jiang Yongqiang felt he had lost face, so he locked himself in his room and refused to go out.
Knock knock knock—
"Get out of here!" Jiang Yongqiang roared in a helpless rage from inside the room.
"Qiang'er, it's your mother." Madam Jiang coaxed him through the door: "Qiang'er, open the door. I've already called a doctor for you. Your bedwetting problem can definitely be cured... Don't keep it to yourself. It'll hurt your health if you keep it to yourself."
"Open the door quickly. Dr. Wang is a highly skilled doctor; he can definitely cure you no matter what your illness is."
The servants outside all lowered their heads secretly, not daring to let anyone see their smirking faces.
Sure enough, a moment later, a series of crashing and smashing sounds came from inside.
Jiang Yongqiang was almost driven crazy by his mother.
He was already incredibly embarrassed by accidentally wetting the bed, and then he thought about the female ghost he encountered in his dream last night. He was trapped in a peach blossom forest and couldn't escape no matter what he did, so he felt anxious and scared.
It must have been from accidentally peeing at that time!
But as an adult man, he cares a lot about his reputation. Being found to have wet the bed is already embarrassing enough. Now his mother has actually told everyone, which is like putting his face on the ground.
Let everyone know that he's such a grown man, yet he still wets the bed.
Jiang Yongqiang was furious and smashed everything that anyone touched in the room to pieces, but then he remembered his mother saying that Doctor Wang had excellent medical skills.
He had heard about it quite a bit before.
Jiang Yongqiang finally opened the door, his eyes bloodshot, and yelled at his mother, "Shut up!"
"Qiang'er, what's wrong with you? Your eyes are all red... Do you want to eat something first? I'll have someone heat up some buns and bring them to you." Madam Jiang was heartbroken to see her son like that and didn't care at all about his rude words.
"Get out of my way! Let Doctor Wang in alone!"
Eat, eat, eat! At this age, we always let him eat. Doesn't he realize that with so many people knowing he wets the bed, who would be in the mood to eat?
As soon as Dr. Wang approached, he smelled the strong stench emanating from the room. However, being a compassionate doctor, he remained outwardly calm and walked into the room to examine Jiang Yongqiang.
Jiang Yongqiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Dr. Wang, my mother told me that you are a highly skilled doctor... So, can you cure nightmares? I had a nightmare last night... I dreamt of a beautiful woman, but she quickly turned into skeletons! It was terrifying!"
Jiang Yongqiang was afraid of losing face again, so he was quickly tricked into revealing what he had dreamed about that night by Doctor Wang.
Dr. Wang offered a few words of advice: "Your beauty has faded, so go to bed early tonight. If you can't sleep, I'll prescribe some sedatives for you. Just get some rest and you'll be fine."
"Oh, okay, okay." Hearing Dr. Wang say that, Jiang Yongqiang felt a little relieved.
Dr. Wang prescribed the medicine and went home.
Li Dechang, looking around suspiciously in front of his shop, made sure no one was watching him before quickly approaching Doctor Wang and asking, "What's going on today? The Jiang family and their gang came to cause trouble for the Lin family yesterday. Who's sick today?"
Without saying anything, Dr. Wang took a cup of tea and glanced at the quick-witted young waiter beside him.
"Boss, let me tell you, the Jiang family is really strange." As soon as the waiter spoke, those who hadn't gone over gathered around.
"What happened? Tell me quickly."
The waiter rolled up his sleeves, speaking like a storyteller in a teahouse, "That Jiang family is really strange. Last night, everyone in the mansion was haunted by a ghost! Not just Madam Jiang, Master Jiang, and the young master, but even the old woman who empties the chamber pot said she was haunted by a ghost last night. And the gatekeeper, he only dozed off last night, but he was still haunted by a ghost... Don't you think this is superstitious?"
Even if they haven't experienced sleep paralysis themselves, they've heard of it. It's all inexplicable; they just can't get up for no reason.
But no one has ever heard of a whole family, including the servants, experiencing sleep paralysis!
"Oh, could it be that they've offended something?" someone muttered quietly.
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
It was as if there was something unseen in the pharmacy, watching them.
It sent chills down my spine.
Li Dechang felt a chill run down his spine. He looked behind him and saw Lin Wanyue eating candied hawthorns in front of Lin's Restaurant across the street.
The sunlight was just right, and dappled light filtered through the fine leaves onto the little girl's pink dress, making her look nothing like a scary ghost.
Li Dechang swallowed nervously. "Could it be that little devil on the other side who's behind this? The young master of the Jiang family just went and smashed their stall yesterday, and this kind of thing happened tonight. If it's that little devil on the other side, then it's really hard to say."
