"What's up?"
The man sighed and said in a small voice: "I just want to die. No matter what, as long as I know, I will tell you."
"Um!"
Gu Long nodded and asked, "Who put you in the closet?"
The man sighed again and said with sad eyes: "I used to work as a cowherd in Tianzi Building No. 1. I used to be strong, handsome and lovable, and I had a lot of savings because of it."
"But then I went to my hometown and after returning to E County, I contracted smallpox."
"Our madam, Aunt Chen, locked me up in the basement and didn't allow anyone to touch me. She only gave me one meal a day, and sometimes she would forget about it. She just wanted to starve me to death..."
"She took back all the savings I had accumulated over the years."
Gu Long was a little speechless, raised his forehead and said: "I didn't ask you this, this is all your own business, what does it have to do with me?"
"There are too many unfortunate people in this era. I am not interested in hearing your story."
"I want to know, who locked you in the closet? If you tell me the truth, I will give you a good burial."
The man smiled bitterly, "Who else could it be besides Aunt Chen?"
"Ordinary people dare not approach me. She specially found a few people who had suffered from smallpox before and put me in the closet."
"It is said that although this strange disease is fatal, people who have survived it will not get it again if they encounter this strange disease again."
Gu Long knew very well that this was due to the antibodies produced in his body after surviving smallpox.
He hummed, "Did a person named Housekeeper Li discuss with Aunt Chen to send you here?"
The man shook his head, "I don't know about that, my mind has never been clear."
"However, I did hear Butler Li's voice."
"I have met him before. He often comes to our brothel to spend money. Every time he comes, he will order more than ten women to accompany him. He..."
Gu Long held his forehead again.
This guy is almost dead, why is his mouth still so broken?
Too chatty?
But he was a dying person after all, so Gu Long didn't say anything to the man, but listened to the man's words silently.
After the man finished speaking, he looked extremely painful and said: "Brother, I really feel too uncomfortable."
"Just kill me, okay? Kill me now."
"As long as you let me die, you don't need to bury me generously. You can just throw me anywhere. I just want to die!"
Gu Long nodded, "I understand how you feel."
He took out the old pillow from the room and said seriously to the man: "Brother, I'm sorry!"
"Don't be a human being in the next life. Being a human being is too tiring!"
Say it!
Gu Long covered the man's head with a pillow.
The human instinct to survive made the man struggle, but he really had no strength and soon stopped moving.
Gu Long ignored the two women who were very frightened, but took a kitchen knife and scraped off the scabs on the man's body.
These things fell into Gu Long's hands and turned into a handful of ashes.
Liu Qing'er felt breathless just looking at that scene, and said in disbelief: "Master, he is already dead, why are you still torturing him?"
"What's the point of shaving this?"
Gu Long smiled slightly, "Of course it works. If it doesn't work, why would I bother?"
"Qing'er, Qiu'er, you also know that people who have had smallpox will never get it again, right?"
Liu Qing'er and Liu Qingqiu looked at each other.
Liu Qingqiu, who was more knowledgeable, nodded and said: "Yes, this is true."
"It is said that people who get this strange disease will not get it a second time, but I only heard about it."
Gu Long hummed and sniffed at the ashes in his hand in front of the two women.
This is the oldest vaccine protocol in ancient medicine.
In his previous life, the ancients of his time had not been able to invent antibiotics or anything like that.
But some doctors have realized that it is better to fight fire with fire.
If you inhale the ash scraped from the scabs of smallpox patients, a small amount of smallpox virus will survive in it, and your body will respond quickly. Because the amount inhaled is not large, and they are all half-dead viruses...
Therefore, people’s symptoms tend to be much milder.
And after you get over it, your body will have antibodies and you won't get smallpox again.
To put it simply, a small amount of smallpox virus is used to train the body's immune system, so that the next time the immune system encounters this thing, it can quickly form an army and eliminate it.
But how could Liu Qing'er and Liu Qingqiu know these medical skills? The two girls looked at Gu Long in horror with their beautiful eyes wide open.
"Master, are you crazy!"
"This, this is part of that sick ghost, you actually..."
Gu Long's expression became serious again and he handed his palm to the two women.
"If you believe me, just breathe."
"Otherwise, it would be no joke if the breath he just exhaled from his respiratory tract infected you."
"Trust me, I won't harm you."
Liu Qing'er and Liu Qingqiu looked at each other again.
They stopped talking and breathed into Gu Long's palm.
Immediately afterwards, the two women collapsed on the bed as if they were seriously ill.
Liu Qing'er said bitterly: "Master, it seems you want us to bury you with you, right?"
"That's right. We are both your women. Although you have always treated us badly, you have changed a lot in recent days."
"As your wife and concubine, it is only natural that I should be buried with you..."
Liu Qingqiu was relatively calm and just sighed, "People will die after all. It's just that they die early and die later."
"Master, you want us to die with you. There is no need to use this method."
"You might as well kill us with one knife..."
Gu Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much, okay?"
"What is immortal!"
"Come on, take the body out with me and burn it so that it won't be spread to the people in the village."
The two women were already devastated.
Anyway, he was already infected, so he was no longer afraid, and helped Gu Long carry the two feet of the corpse out.
Gu Long raised his arms.
Three people carried the man's body to the courtyard.
The villagers who were still talking about Gu Long and others saw Gu Long and his wife carrying the body out as expected. Their faces turned pale with fear and they hurriedly ran away!
Qian Xiaowu smiled ferociously and said: "Gu Long, if you come into contact with the dead ghost of smallpox, you will definitely die too!"
"Now, you can leave your last words!"
"Otherwise, you might not even be able to speak in a few days, hahahaha!"
Gu Long ignored Qian Xiaowu and instead shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, I, Gu Long, swear that I will not step out of my house in the next three days, lest you let me down." Infected."
"But this guy's body cannot be left alone."
"Please help me throw some firewood in and help me burn his body!"
The villagers were silent.
Gu Longdu was in danger, but he changed his demeanor from the gangster he used to be. He was still worried about the people in the village?
Look at Qian Xiaowu again.
Seeing Gu Long in trouble, he only laughed at him.
Suddenly, the situation between the two people was at odds!
Even Qian Xiaowu himself blushed.
The villagers shouted out in a hurry.
"Okay, okay, Gu Long, you really understand justice. As for this matter, I obey you!"
"Uncle, I'm going to find firewood for you right now!"
"Brother, I'm going to find firewood for you too. Everyone, hurry up and get more firewood. Don't hide it. This is a matter of life and death!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Gu Long then glanced at Qian Xiaowu with disdain, "Why don't you hurry up and get firewood?"
"The corpse is right next door to you, aren't you afraid of getting infected?"
