Chapter 5 The First Experience of Life
After the proprietress Catherine left, Qin Lun lay quietly on the bed, pillowing his arms and falling into deep thought.
Stephen Albert is dead! The first otherworldly mission given to him by the Shattered Starry Sky was to ask him to save a dead man!
In such a small town, the death of an heir to a baron is already a big deal, and many people have seen the funeral of the Albert family at that time, which should not be a fake.
According to Catherine, the Albert family, though hereditary barons, had only a grove and a mountain on the outskirts of the small town of Odia. The fiefdom was small and of little value, and the family was far from the ruling center of the Duchy of Maiser and had few political enemies. It can be said that he has lived a reclusive aristocratic life all year round.
Such a family naturally does not have to let the heir choose to fake his death in order to avoid revenge. Of course, Catherine was just the proprietress of a small inn, and the information she provided could only be used as a reference at most, and the real situation still needed to be investigated by Qin Lun himself.
Thinking back to Catherine, a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Lun's mouth, this charming proprietress gave him a new experience of life. However, this kind of physical pleasure is just an experience for Qin Lun.
Whether it is Qin Lun or Joey, there is actually no real goal of survival. Entering the shattered starry sky, for ordinary people, may be a test, or an opportunity, but for Qin Lun and Joey, they are only curious about new things.
Except for a little ease of getting rid of the prison walls, the rest is just to do as you please. Even if it was the current otherworldly mission, the first element in Qin Lun's mind was still not to complete the task, but to explore the secrets behind the task.
For another person, with the hint of an otherworldly mission, he will definitely think that Stephen Albert is playing dead. Although Qin Lun was not so sure, it was undeniable that his attitude, which was originally just perfunctory, had changed a lot, and now he really had a strong interest in this otherworldly mission.
You must know that the so-called salvation, the suffix is not necessarily life, and there are many things that human beings can associate with "salvation......
Qin Lun's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, he got up from the bed and walked around the guest room naked, he felt the excitement that suddenly welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.
To find out about Stephen Albert's life, you must enter Baron Albert's castle. If it is in normal times, let alone a young doctor who does not have a medical license, even a famous doctor in the town may not be invited by the owner.
However, the situation is different now, and the epidemic is beginning to occur in the town. Although Catherine gave all the information without reservation under Qin Lun's "seduction". However, between the words, Qin Lun also felt the "news blockade" that the proprietress of Zài said.
The epidemic actually appeared more than a year ago, when a few strangers in the small town of Odia suddenly fainted in the streets. However, at that time, the epidemic that these people were suffering from was not contagious, and these people struggled for more than a month from the time they got sick to the time they died.
The most recent epidemic began half a month ago, and people in the town have been dying of the disease, and the people around them have also been infected. From the edge of the town at the beginning, it slowly spread to the entire surrounding area, covering several small towns. The reason for the connection to the accident more than a year ago is purely because the bodies of these patients after death have very similar characteristics, starting to decompose from the body first, and all have that dark green jelly-like substance.
The situation in several other towns is unknown, but in Odia there is always a mysterious force that hides the bodies of the sick, and even their families keep silent about it.
In Catherine's gossip news, several versions appeared, several of which caught Qin Lun's attention.
One said that the source of the epidemic was in the mountains and forests more than 100 miles away from the town, where an evil witch and the evil creatures she drove lived, and the epidemic was a kind of magic potion she invented to harm people.
On the other hand, the epidemic was brought by those outsiders a year ago, and the source of the disease has long been latent in those who are now dead, and it has only just begun until now. There is some support for this theory, because several of the people who died at the beginning of the town happened to be small town doctors, and they were the first to come into contact with sick outsiders.
However, another piece of information that Catherine inadvertently revealed caught Qin Lun's attention. A little more than a year ago, the strangers had come to the town of Odia and were received by Baron Thomas Albert.
For people in small towns, this is not unusual. There was no gossip about the splendid outlanders, whether they were merchants or minor nobles, who could get an invitation to Albert Castle for the first time in the town of Odia and go to a ball or something.
However, for Qin Lun, the information contained in this is more intriguing. The guest who had just been received by the host, but when he returned home, he fell ill and died, but the host did not say anything after that.
Or these outsiders were just temporary guests invited by the baron on a whim, and then forgot about it. Or maybe the baron could do nothing about their situation, or even he secretly killed these strangers. It's interesting to get in touch with the heir to the baron, Stephen Albert, who died more than a year ago, or pretended to be dead.
Qin Lun's eyes were shining, and he subconsciously pinched his nose, he seemed to smell a strong smell of conspiracy.
"It looks like I'm going to find my dear boss lady tomorrow to discuss the true meaning of life!"
……
"Ah~~" With a high-pitched scream of a woman, the rhythmic creaking of the wooden bed in the guest room stopped.
Catherine, the proprietress collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud, beads of sweat hanging down her blonde hair and into the deep ditch between the twin peaks. The woman let the young man's head rest against her tall white breasts, gently playing with the black hair bangs on his forehead.
Just seeing the clear and bright eyes of the young man, this plump and sexy middle-aged beauty sighed secretly in her heart. She knew that she had not been able to win the young man's heart, that the two of them were nothing more than a dewy mandarin duck, and even that sometimes, she felt that she was just a new fruit that the young man was trying to taste.
Young, handsome, funny, with a family background and talent, if you can be ten years younger, I'm afraid you will be stalked, why don't you want to let go! An inexplicable thought came to Catherine's mind.
"Are you really going to do that?" After a crazy cloud and rain, the proprietress finally came back to her senses and asked about business.
"Well, I only have one acquaintance of you in Odia Town, I'm afraid I can only ask you for help, and you'll help me, right?" Qin Lun squinted his eyes and chuckled, and patted Catherine's fat and white big buttocks.
"Of course, I'm just worried about what will happen after this, I don't want my baby to catch that weird disease!" Catherine stretched out a soft finger and poked Qin Lun's forehead with a smile.
"No, actually, I've cured several patients at home, myself and my entourage! It's just that I don't have a formal license, and my reputation is small, and the town of Odia hasn't heard the rumors yet. Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "What's more, the medicines needed to treat this epidemic are very precious, and I won't accept all the patients at will!" ”
"When you have a medical license, will you come to me?" Catherine bit her lip, a rare flush on her face.
"Of course, my Catherine is the most wonderful lover!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he smiled and pinched the tender flesh on the woman's face.
Just lovers! Catherine was slightly disappointed, but soon smiled, a sincere answer was a hundred times better than a false promise, and the sophisticated proprietress had passed her girlhood of fantasies.
……
Three days later, in the large square in the center of the town of Odia, a sturdy townsman suddenly covered his heart with a painful expression, and slowly collapsed to the ground, with a trace of dark green inexplicable substance flowing from his mouth.
"Ah~~" The screams of the women rang out in the main square of the town, and soon the sick townsman caught the attention of everyone in the vicinity. Crowds gathered from all directions, but they were all carefully gathered around, and no one dared to support the patients.
Although the townspeople were vaguely aware of the epidemic in the town, except for the first one or two, no one had ever seen an outbreak in public.
The symptoms of the disease have now spread and are known to almost all townspeople. Although the mysterious force in the town temporarily controlled the situation, it could not avoid the panic caused by the epidemic.
In fact, as long as someone has a fever and a cold, the family will no longer let him go out, but will do everything possible to hide his illness.
Not to mention that the town's doctors were dead when the first wave of the epidemic struck. Even if they were still alive, these people would rather travel dozens of miles and secretly seek medical treatment from a doctor in another town than reveal the truth to their neighbors.
This is a contagious disease, and no one knows how much panic it will cause in the neighbors and what kind of treatment they will encounter if the illness of their loved ones is revealed.
Quietly getting sick, quietly healing, quietly dying, quietly buried, everyone chose self-hypnosis in the style of covering their ears and stealing the bell. This is also the fundamental reason why Qin Lun saw that strange and desolate situation when he first came to Odia Town, and it is also the root cause of the epidemic that began to spread in several nearby towns.
Of course, it is also why there are patients who come to Wellington, a young man who is not licensed to practice medicine, and why Wellington was killed by himself.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" As the townsfolk watched in bewilderment, the man who had inadvertently broken the town's pretense of peace, there was a commotion around the crowd, and a hunchbacked man waved his powerful arms and pushed the townsfolk to the ground.
"You idiots, get Master Wellington over, and the Stan doctor will treat this poor little worm!"
