Repairer Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Zhao Zhengshan's Experience

The guest house of Yanjing University was for the parents of the students. Now that it was the holiday in Yanjing, there were not many people living there.

Su Xiaofan checked in, swiped his phone in his room, and then returned to the school to have dinner with his sister in the cafeteria of their Research Institute.

Zhao Qingyao and her father, as well as two other male students and parents, were also eating with them. Su Xiaofan got to know them and added their contact numbers.

Su Xiaofan deliberately ordered a few very expensive dishes. When the dishes were served, the ingredients tasted good. Su Xiaofan felt that even if he didn't agree to serve them, his sister, this foodie, wouldn't agree either.

After the meal, Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qingyao went back to the dormitory together. Zhao Zhengshan and Su Xiaofan strolled toward the guest house. The campus of Yanjing University was a beautiful scenery.

“We didn't have the conditions to do so when we were in college.”

Zhao Zhengshan felt emotional as he walked around Yanjing's campus.

“Uncle Zhao, why didn't you work in our family's company?”

Su Xiaofan had chatted with Zhao Zhengshan for a while and knew that he worked at Luochuan hospital. Coincidentally, that hospital was the one where Su Xiaofan had been hospitalized after his car accident.

“I'm not cut out for that, I won't be of any help even if I go.”

Zhao Zhengshan laughed. “I've been interested in medicine since I was young, especially Chinese medicine. I'm in charge of bone setting and acupuncture in the hospital.”

Zhao Zhengshan's family was poor when he was young. His elder brother dropped out of school to run a business with his father. When he went to high school, his family became rich, so Zhao Zhengshan went to college.

The old man wanted Zhao Zhengshan to major in business administration or enter politics after he graduated from University so that he could help the family business. However, Zhao Zhengshan was a man with an indifferent heart.

Zhao Zhengshan had a deep conversation with his father before he applied for the major.

Zhao Zhengshan knew that the family business was built by his father and brother. It would be unfair to his brother if he went to steal the fruits of his labor after he graduated from college. If he did not handle it well, it would turn into a fight between the brothers. The entire family business might fall apart.

Zhao Zhengshan was not interested in doing business. He had learned massage and bone setting from a local doctor when he was young, so he had a special interest in Chinese medicine.

Zhao Hengjian had always been a man of his own and rarely listened to other people's opinions. However, he had been convinced by his son to let Zhao Zhengshan choose his own life.

Zhao Zhengshan was truly talented in the field of medicine. He had studied Western medicine for five years and became a clinician for a few years. He then applied to study under a leading Chinese medicine practitioner in China and managed to combine both Chinese and Western medicine. He was now an expert who received special subsidies from the state.

However, Zhao Zhengshan was still willing to stay in Luochuan. He only held the position of Vice Director in the hospital and had always been working on the front lines.

Of course, Zhao Zhengshan was not short of money. He could get a large sum of money from his family business every year to spend on his hobbies.

Zhao Zhengshan's only hobby was collecting antiques. He knew Jing Shizhen from Jingxin Hall first and introduced her to his father later.

“No wonder Uncle Zhao looked so familiar. You're a regular at the antique market.” When it came to antiques, Su Xiaofan and Zhao Zhengshan had more to talk about. The more they talked, the more they got along.

“Uncle Zhao, that bracelet on your wrist, it's made of Hetian jade, right?”

Su Xiaofan saw that Zhao Zhengshan was wearing an irregular-shaped bracelet on his wrist. He couldn't see it clearly at night, but it looked like jade.

Su Xiaofan had seen a lot of bracelets, but this was the first time he had seen such an irregular one, and he couldn't help but be curious.

“Yes, and it's made of Hetian jade seed. My father got it from a master.

Zhao Zhengshan nodded. He raised his wrist for Su Xiaofan to see, but he did not take the bracelet off. He did not even want Su Xiaofan to touch it.

[ Repair points: 7 points]

[ low-level Kunlun jade incomplete magical artifact. Can be repaired. 7 repair points will be deducted. Repair?]

“Hmm, Kunlun jade? That's the ancient name for Hetian jade …”

Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he saw the information. Zhao Zhengshan's Kunlun jade artifact was of better quality than his sister's Black Jade Buddha. It required seven points to repair, which was a little more than the Black Jade Buddha.

Of course, Su Xiaofan chose not to repair it. According to Uncle Jing's conversion of the value of yin fiend stones, one of his repair points was worth about four to five hundred thousand Yuan. Whether it was money or repair points, Su Xiaofan did not have enough for himself, so how could he give it to the other party to repair?

'Doesn't the Zhao family have a magical artifact that can be used as a pendant? Why don't you give it to Zhao Qingyao?' “By the way, Uncle Zhao, what do you think of the major that the special class is studying?”Su Xiaofan asked. The man had more life experience than he did, so he definitely knew more about this so-called unnatural phenomenon than he did. “Supernatural phenomenon?” Zhao Zhengshan paused and lowered his voice. “Your Uncle Zhao, I believe in this because I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Uncle Zhao, what have you seen?” Su Xiaofan was taken aback.

“Ahem, how should I put it? That was an experience I had not long after I started working.”

Zhao Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, “It's been about 20 years. I worked in the emergency department of the hospital after I graduated from Western medicine. I was on duty that night. 120 took in a few patients who were in a car accident.”

The events from more than 20 years ago were still fresh in Zhao Zhengshan's mind. It was obvious that he had a deep impression of this incident.

At that time, Zhao Zhengshan already had a medical certificate and was the doctor on duty in the emergency department that night. He clearly remembered that one of the middle-aged patients had been pierced in the heart by a sharp object from broken glass. When he was sent to the hospital, he had stopped breathing. For some reason, the man's eyes were open.

After Zhao Zhengshan confirmed the death of the patient, he called the mortuary and helped the mortuary staff place the body on the car.

Zhao Zhengshan was very busy that night. He only finished his work when it was almost dawn. He was so exhausted that he took a nap in the on-call room.

Zhao Zhengshan could not tell if he had fallen asleep or not.

Zhao Zhengshan only remembered that the door to the guardroom was opened when he was resting. A middle-aged man came in and asked Zhao Zhengshan to borrow a pen and paper to help him write something down.

It was normal to encounter such a situation in the hospital. Zhao Zhengshan passed a pen and paper to the man, but the man said that his hand was injured and he could not write. He asked Zhao Zhengshan to help him write. Zhao Zhengshan would not reject a favor that was offered to him. However, when he was about to pass the password to the person, he realized that the person was gone. Zhao Zhengshan suddenly came to his senses. He recalled the man's face and broke out in a cold sweat. The man who came to borrow pen and paper from him was the middle-aged man who had died in the car accident that night.

Those who studied medicine had all dissected cadavers before. Zhao Zhengshan was rather brave. He immediately ran to the mortuary to check on the man. He found that the man's eyes were closed.

Anyone who studied medicine would know that there were all kinds of horrifying and absurd stories in medical school. However, Zhao Zhengshan did not expect to run into one. Thinking of what the man had done, Zhao Zhengshan did one thing.

The next day, Zhao Zhengshan found the patient's family and gave them the piece of paper with the password and the hospital's logo removed. He told them that the paper was left on the patient.

The man's son was also involved in the accident. He was not seriously injured, but he had to be hospitalized for a while. Zhao Zhengshan asked around and found out that the number on the paper was the password to their family's passbook.

Zhao Zhengshan finally realized that he had seen the middle-aged man that day. Or perhaps, he had seen his obsession. The middle-aged man didn't know that his legal inheritor could withdraw his bank account with the certificate of death issued by the hospital. So, he went to Zhao Zhengshan and asked him to write down the bank password. In Zhao Zhengshan's opinion, that person's soul must be an incorporeal form of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy must have stimulated Zhao Zhengshan's mind, causing him to hallucinate and see the person. After that incident, Zhao Zhengshan, who didn't have much faith to begin with, became extremely interested in the existence of a person's spirit after death and the cause of its existence.

Hence, Zhao Zhengshan began to study Chinese medicine systematically. There were theories of Yin Yang, five elements, five fate and six Qi, as well as the theory of Qi, blood, essence, body fluid, and spirit. Studying these seemed to be helpful in understanding the existence of consciousness. However, what made Zhao Zhengshan depressed was that he had not encountered a similar incident for the past 20 years. Zhao Zhengshan would have suspected that his research was in the wrong direction if he did not remember the incident clearly. There was no such thing as consciousness in the world. “Are there really ghosts in this world?” Su Xiaofan shook his head after hearing Zhao Zhengshan's story. “Uncle Zhao, I'm not as lucky as you. I actually encountered a ghost. I used to walk through the unmarked common graves when I was in school. I've been walking for three years and I've never seen a ghost.”

“After years of research, I'm afraid that this can only be seen after certain conditions.” Zhao Zhengshan was a bold man, and he agreed with Su Xiaofan's comment that he was lucky to have seen a ghost.

“When I returned to the village a few days ago, I saw a ghost hitting the wall.”

Su Xiaofan told him about what he had while ago.

“No wonder you asked Professor Lei about the ghost wall incident. I've never seen it at the scene, but I've seen patients who have experienced it.”

It had to be said that Su Xiaofan and Zhao Zhengshan's way of thinking was a little different from ordinary people, and they actually hit it off very well.

The two of them were still chatting when they returned to the guest house. They went to Su Xiaofan's room and chatted for a few hours. Zhao Zhengshan only returned to his room to rest after one in the morning.
