Chapter 37 You think they're me?
"Drive slower, there's no rush..."
Despite Hu Xiaoyu's reminder from the passenger seat, Gu Xixia remained silent, but didn't release the accelerator much.
Rushing home, Gu Xixia immediately went to the bathroom and started the stomach lavage equipment.
When Hu Xiaoyu arrived at the bathroom, Gu Xixia was already prepared.
They helped him sit in a chair, and the feeding tube was inserted into his throat as he tilted his head back.
Hunched over, trying to avoid her ample bosom obstructing her view, Gu Xixia carefully began to wash Hu Xiaoyu's stomach.
After a large amount of water carrying food residue was sucked away, Hu Xiaoyu patted Gu Xixia's thigh a dozen minutes later to indicate that it was done.
Hu Xiaoyu lowered his head, spitting out the water that had instinctively flowed back up his esophagus, and sighed as he sat on a low stool.
"I ate the duck blood for nothing."
"There's still some in the fridge. I'll get you some more, or I can order a hot pot and add extra duck blood."
"What about the hot pot? Can you still eat it?"
"We'll deal with it tomorrow; let you drink your fill first."
Shaking his head, Hu Xiaoyu helped himself up and went outside.
"There's no need for that. It's not like I've never been hungry before. When I was really hungry, I even drank rat blood."
On the sofa, Gu Xixia sat next to him, vigorously massaging his lower abdomen with her delicate hands to make him feel more comfortable.
"Aren't you afraid of getting the plague?"
"You're underestimating me, aren't you?"
Hu Xiaoyu gave Gu Xixia a disapproving look, then leaned back on the sofa and fell into a reverie.
"Most viruses that are extremely deadly to humans are meaningless to me."
"Like the mask era?"
"Yes, it's very likely because I'm essentially a moving and thinking corpse, so the virus can't survive in my body."
Hu Xiaoyu removed her hand and kicked her away to make room for herself to lie down.
Gu Xixia shifted her ample buttocks, encased in navy blue trousers, and made him lie down with his legs outstretched.
"Rats die in the east, rats die in the west, people see dead rats as if they see tigers..."
"It should be the end of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, a plague broke out in the mountain stream area, and not many doctors and people dared to go to the plague area."
"Seeing that things couldn't continue like this, the mountain lord of Longhu Mountain came to me and asked me for help."
"At that time, my relationship with them was still okay, and the plague was really terrible."
"I didn't think much about it and just acted as a qualified porter, helping those infected in the epidemic area to receive treatment as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xixia looked down at Hu Xiaoyu, who was lying down.
"You're not going to take advantage of this to leech off me, are you?"
Snapped!
After being slapped on the thigh, Gu Xixia turned her eyes away and stopped talking.
"Do you take me for an animal? Besides, do you know how awful the patient's blood tastes?"
"I'm not a zombie, how would I know?"
Listening to Gu Xixia's mutterings, Hu Xiaoyu shook his head.
"In that situation, even wild animals with a keen sense of smell would stay far away and dare not approach."
"But in the end, he agreed to those stinky Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, so he just stayed there obediently."
"The daily work is simple: transport thin porridge and medicine, then find the patients who have died, move them together and cremate them."
"The Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain were initially just like you, worried that I would suck the blood of my patients."
"But one day I flew into a rage, grabbed the mountain lord by the collar, and told him that if he didn't give me some blood, I was quitting!"
"Only then did the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain lower their guard."
Why?
"Hunger can't be faked. I was so close to biting his neck that he knew I wasn't lying."
They quickly went to the bathroom, filled a basin with hot water, and placed the two of their slippers next to the sofa.
Gu Xixia took off her boat socks, revealing her fair feet with visible blue veins, and put them into the water.
Amidst the splashing water, Gu Xixia looked at Hu Xiaoyu.
"Did they prepare duck blood for you?"
"Otherwise what? I have the highest vitality and the best stamina in the epidemic area. One zombie can do the work of dozens of people. Naturally, Longhu Mountain is reluctant to let me leave."
After saying this, Hu Xiaoyu frowned.
"They were really disgusting; there were even duck feathers in the duck blood they served me."
"If I hadn't been starving, and if those patients hadn't been so pitiful, I would have turned around and left long ago."
"It lasted for about a month, and as the dead died, the plague was barely over."
"It was from then on that the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain stopped bothering me completely."
"Because we've determined you're completely safe?"
"More or less."
Hu Xiaoyu sat up from the sofa, threw the socks she had casually placed next to her lower abdomen onto the floor, and went to the computer.
"One reason is to confirm that I won't bite unless absolutely necessary, and the other is that they have more troublesome guys to deal with."
"A troublesome fellow?"
Gu Xixia took a towel and wiped her feet, looking at Hu Xiaoyu in front of the computer on her right with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, some of the bodies were initially buried directly, and some of the locations were chosen to be exceptionally good."
"This led to a large number of zombies carrying deadly viruses, and those are the real problem."
"If we're not careful, it could turn into another epidemic if we don't handle it properly."
"Otherwise, why do you think no one dared to object to the large-scale cremation of corpses in an era when people believed their bodies were gifts from their parents?"
"One is because of the plague, and the other is because of those infected zombies."
Gu Xixia listened with great interest.
"And then?"
"Later, it's very simple, they came to me again for help."
"You absorbed those zombies?"
"How is that possible!"
Hu Xiaoyu opened the game matchmaking and glanced at Gu Xixia, who was waiting for him to continue.
"I eventually dismantled all those zombies."
"It's been demolished?"
"Yes, literally it was torn down, and the pieces were piled up and burned."
Gu Xixia blinked quickly.
Just how amazing are you?
"At worst, I'll be a flying zombie, anyway, I can fly."
"You don't even know yourself?"
"Because it's pointless. I've never seen anyone stronger than me, so how would I know how strong I really am?"
"Speaking of which, are you familiar with Miao witchcraft?"
"I've heard of it."
Clicking on the equipment menu, buying a piece of equipment, and leaving the fountain, Hu Xiaoyu spoke again.
"The Miao witchcraft is real, and it is indeed very evil."
Tell me about it~
Taking a small stool, Gu Xixia sat down next to him, curiously waiting for her old man to speak.
"It's too complicated. Let me just tell you the result."
"The reason why Miao witchcraft was extinct is not only because it is difficult to learn, but more so because those witch doctors created a lot of messy viruses in order to raise powerful gu insects."
"The Gu poison is inseparable from the Gu poison. After it was discovered that the insects created by Gu sorcerers could bring disease, not only outside the region, but even within the Miao region, Gu sorcerers began to be driven away and suppressed."
Gu Xixia asked curiously upon hearing this.
"Aren't they afraid that the sorcerer will harm them?"
Hu Xiaoyu sneered at this.
"You think they're like me?"
