Chapter 342: Chapter 342 Ancestor Yunhe the Elder
"When they took Grandpa to the crematorium, actually, I had been following the whole time, but it wasn’t convenient for me to show up. Also, I knew I was carrying a kind of super bacterium, a supervirus, and I didn’t dare infect others. So, after they brought Grandpa to the crematorium, I quietly slipped in and then left from there."
"After you left, where did you go?"
"After leaving, Grandpa still wanted to go to the village to look for you, but we were worried about the daytime, too many people and eyes, we might be seen, so we chose to move at night. But even so, we were mistaken for ghosts."
"Exactly, already cremated and yet freely walking around the village, tell me, which villager could accept this? So, if that’s the case, I believe you must have faked your death in a similar state later on, right?"
"Yes, but my fake deaths would occur about every 20 days, not as often as Grandpa’s. Moreover, each time I faked death, I would wake up after about two to three hours."
"After waking up, you left the crematorium again and met up with your Grandpa in the mountains, and then you went to the village, right?"
"Because I saw that Grandpa was getting worse by the day, I had to find a way. If Grandpa couldn’t appear in the village, then I tried to bring you over, but contrary to my wishes, I still couldn’t do it that day."
"Then why haven’t you appeared in the last two days? Do you know? I’ve been looking for you, and I know there’s a reason for all this. I waited all night long that day, and no one came back."
"I didn’t dare to come. The village was in a state of panic. I didn’t want to bring so much trouble to the village because of us grandchild and grandfather. Besides, we were already being very cautious when we were in contact with them, but as far as I know, it seems like Grandpa’s ice drug has already spread throughout the entire village."
"I’ve never asked you, how long have you been carrying this virus? And where did you come from, why didn’t we come to this place before?"
"Grandpa has been carrying this virus for almost 10 years, while I have only gradually begun to show symptoms in the last five years."
"You’ve been able to survive all this time carrying the virus? And usually, you don’t show any symptoms at all?"
"I’ve already told you, about every 10 days, we will go into a state of fake death. Usually, we are in a very inconspicuous state, which means that the virus’s dominant gene isn’t very strong in us, but we have a very strong ability to transmit."
"Because of this, we have almost never left our home these past few years and have sought out every renowned doctor until we met an old man with deep Taoist practice. He told me that to counteract the poison, we must come here to find a doctor named Liu Zheng."
"What did you say? An old man with deep Taoist practice, what does he look like?"
"He looks very much like a Taoist, with pure white beard and hair, braided, and wears a robe everywhere he goes."
"Old Yunhe?"
Upon saying this, he was suddenly shocked. Old Yunhe was, in fact, Liu Zheng’s ancestral master. When Liu Zheng was under Old Yunhe’s tutelage, he truly learned a lot of skills. However, later on, as he wandered all over the place, he had lost contact with him.
"You, you’re saying his name is Old Yunhe?"
"Yes, he’s my ancestral master, and I haven’t seen him for many years. Tell me, where did you see him?"
"In a deep mountain. I was also trying to collect some medicinal herbs that people talked about to see if they could have some effect. It was in the process that I met him."
"So, his meaning was for you to find me? Then, let me try to cure the bacteria in your bodies, is that it?"
"Yes, indeed that’s it."
"If that’s the case, I’d like to ask, why, when you appeared in the village, was it only the old man? I didn’t see you, and it wasn’t until two to three days after his accident that you gradually appeared. Didn’t you both arrive at the same time?"
"No, the two of us arrived one after the other. Grandpa arrived here ahead of me. I had some other things that held me back, so I was a bit late. Additionally, due to staying outdoors on the way, I must have looked like a vagabond, which led to the misunderstanding."
After all the explanations were clear, Liu Zheng seemed to gradually lower his guard towards them. He felt that this was just an ordinary patient, and since he was here, he had to be responsible for them.
"Alright, now I know the situation. Both of you sit side by side, I’m going to start examining you to see exactly what is wrong with you."
While talking, Liu Zheng walked over. In fact, he had never encountered such a case before, but he knew that if the supervirus could survive in their bodies, then it’s very likely that it was compatible with their blood.
"Right, there’s another thing, we can’t be exposed to sunlight, it’s too strong. That’s why we appear in places with no sunlight on cloudy days, or at night, because we are afraid of the sun. Once our skin is exposed to sunlight for too long, it will start to decay immediately."
"Hmm, I can somewhat understand that, it’s very normal. Because your bodies are surrounded by the virus, so it’s in your blood, and this kind of bacterium is most afraid of direct sunlight. During the exposure process, it accelerates the decomposition of the skin, leading to partial decay."
As Liu Zheng spoke, he began to carefully examine every part of their bodies, which was largely consistent with what he knew.
"Good, although I can eliminate the virus that spreads to others, to be honest, the virus in your bodies is an original mother virus, which I have actually never dealt with before. For now, I can only say I’ll increase the dosage and try to treat with medications, but this process is likely to last three to five days. Then we can truly see the effect."
