Qian Xiaowu's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "Gu Long, someone must be trying to mess with you, so they sent a dead man with smallpox to your house. Let me tell you, if I get infected with this thing, I will I’ll fight you!”
"Let's exchange one life for another!"
"Everyone has to die anyway!"
Gu Long glanced at Qian Xiaowu with contempt, "How dare you die with me?"
"I'm sticking my neck out for you to chop now. Do you dare to chop me?"
"If you really dare to take action, go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and put it on my neck. Come on?"
Qian Xiaowu's face was as white as snow.
Of course he didn't dare to really kill Gu Long.
He returned to his courtyard with a dark face.
Within a few minutes, the villagers hurriedly brought firewood.
Gu Long shouted to the villagers gathered outside: "Just throw in the firewood, don't let you get infected too."
Following Gu Long's instructions, the villagers worked together to throw the firewood in their hands into Gu Long's yard.
Seeing that Gu Long burned the body with firewood, the villagers gathered around and were filled with emotion.
"As expected of Mr. Gu, he is responsible!"
"Yes, the Gu family back then was considered a wealthy family in our area. It's a pity that after Mr. Gu died, this kid lost all his family property."
"Anyway, Gu Long, just because you didn't come out and infect us too, we will remember this kindness!"
Gu Long looked at their endless discussions and was a little speechless, "Don't worry, I can't die."
"Within three days, my two wives and I will be fine."
"But I have something I need to trouble you all about."
The villagers were all grateful to Gu Long. After all, if it had been someone else who had contracted smallpox, they would have been running around.
However, Gu Long didn't. Gu Long burned the body in the yard before leaving the yard.
Thinking about Zhou Zhengguang's respect for Gu Long and Gu Long's unpredictable methods, everyone respected him a little more.
Therefore, you speak to me with a smile on your face.
"Gu Long, tell me what's going on!"
"As long as you don't ask for the moon in the sky, we can handle it for you."
"That's right! Just say it!"
Gu Long nodded, "I have almost eaten all the rice and noodles at home."
"I can't go out for three days, so I won't be able to cook. I don't want my wife and I to starve to death."
"So, I have to trouble you all to help me cook something to eat."
Before the villagers could speak, Qian Xiaowu sneered: "Gu Long, now that things have happened, are you still thinking about eating?"
"Only one in a hundred people infected with this strange disease will survive."
"There is absolutely no way you can survive, why are you wasting food? Why don't you just die!"
Gu Long was not angry, but smiled slightly and said: "Fellows, brothers and sisters, how are you doing?"
The villagers ignored Qian Xiaowu and no one refused.
He even rushed to help Gu Long cook.
Seeing everyone's agreement, Gu Long nodded and said: "In that case, please prepare the food and leave it at the door of my yard. In order to prevent you from contracting this strange disease, I will not give you food within three days." The utensils will be returned to you.”
"After three days, when my condition has recovered, I will clean the dishes and return them to you one by one."
A villager couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Gu Long, you are really as considerate as your hair!"
"You are too delicate!"
"I've never seen anyone as thin as you!"
The corner of Gu Long's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to curse.
But seeing that the other party was a little girl, she probably didn't know what it meant to say such words to a man, so she didn't say much.
After the body was burned, Gu Long took the two women home.
The villagers also dispersed and went home.
Some people gathered together and discussed what to eat for Gu Long in the next three days.
When Qian Xiaowu saw that no one was paying attention to him, his face turned red with embarrassment, anger and other emotions.
He walked home angrily, his resentful eyes staring at Gu Long's new home, his eyes full of jealousy.
Liu Qing'er felt weak all over and collapsed on the bed, her face pale, "Master, can we really get better?"
"I heard that people who develop this disease quickly will die suddenly in just a few days."
"Those who get sick later will bring on other diseases. Just like that man, it took more than a month to die..."
There was no trace of panic in Gu Long's eyes, his eyes were calm, he grabbed Liu Qing'er's little hand and said calmly: "If I say it can get better, then it will definitely get better. Just believe me."
"What we have to do in the next three days is very simple."
“Eat, drink and be merry!”
Liu Qing'er and Liu Qingqiu both looked at Gu Long in astonishment.
Gu Longxin said that it would not be feasible to stay at home for three full days without finding something to do.
His eyes rolled around and he asked, "Qing'er, do you have any extra cloth at home?"
Liu Qing'er nodded, "Didn't Master Zhou buy us a lot of clothes?"
"Those linen clothes I wore before are actually more."
"Sir, what do you want the cloth for?"
Gu Long waved his hand, "Bring those linen clothes over here, along with the scissors and writing brush."
Liu Qingqiu held his forehead and said, "The scissors are fine, and the linen clothes are enough."
"But why do you need a brush? You have never been able to read a single word. Back then, your father wanted to send you to a private school, but you didn't want to go. Where did you get the brush at home?"
Gu Long was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the literacy rate in ancient times was indeed very low.
When an imperial list is posted in the imperial city, it often requires a storyteller to come over and read it to everyone, and even arrange for a person to read it.
This is to stabilize the rule, making books and other things very expensive, and making education costs extremely high to prevent the people below from having the possibility of a class jump.
Gu Long touched his chin, thought for a moment, and immediately said, "Then there's no need for a brush."
"I can use coal, too."
Although the two women were confused, they still followed the care of the dragon and brought over the coarse linen clothes they were not wearing.
In front of the two women, Gu Long cut the linen clothes open with scissors, making dozens of cuts.
I also drew a playing card icon on it.
After finishing the painting, Gu Long said with a smile: "Let's play a game when we are free."
"I'll teach you how to play!"
"This game is called Doudizhu."
Liu Qingqiu and Liu Qing'er were both children born in poverty.
He has been exploited by landlords since he was a child.
When they heard the name of the game was Landlords, the two women immediately cheered up and listened carefully to Gu Long's explanation of the rules of the game.
After a while, the three of them started playing Landlords.
After several runs-in, the smart two women quickly mastered the rules of the game. When Gu Long became the landlord, they were even able to beat Gu Long, a veteran, into disgrace.
Half an hour later, Gu Long saw that they had become quite proficient, so he smiled evilly and said, "It's not fun to play like this."
“Let’s play it differently.”
"Whoever loses a round, whether he is a landowner or a farmer, must take off one piece of clothing, how about that?"
