The most heart-wrenching truths often only need to be expressed in the most simple words, just as the best ingredients often only need to be cooked simply.

As faithful believers in God, the two never imagined that they would be so clowns from a different perspective.

At this moment, they finally completed their awakening.

"We gave everything, but in exchange for endless disasters and inaction."

"Fuck God! It's like playing us like monkeys! ”

"That's right!" Jiang Lu raised his right hand and shouted: "The life of the horse is also the life!" ”

Although they didn't know what a horse was, the two bird-beaked doctors shouted along.

"No more!" Greco angrily grabbed a handful of ashes and stuffed them into the jar: "I'm almost tired of repeating this kind of work every day!" ”

"Good!" Marino joins in: "I'll help you." ”

"Yes, that's it!"

Jiang Lu said impassionedly: "Humiliate God fiercely!" ”

Thus, the goal shifted from separating the ashes of each body to filling the jar.

It doesn't matter who it is, just fill it up and go back to the errand.

No one will know anyway, and no one will care.

And they've already passed that hurdle in their hearts, and they don't feel guilty.

This is, of course, the credit of the spiritual mentor Jiang Lu.

So in a few moments, the urns they had brought with their names were full.

The next thing is to go back to the business.

Just as the two of them climbed out of the pit, Catherine, who had never dared to speak, finally couldn't help but ask: "That. I would like to ask, are there any members of the Medici family among these corpses you burn? ”

Marino and Greco suddenly fell silent, frozen in place.

Jiang Lu saw their reactions and realized something.

In other words, they just seemed to be jumping on the grave in front of the family of the deceased.

He winked at the two of them, motioning for them to find a way to comfort them.

So Marino stubbornly explained: "This, about the dead of the Medici family, we do know who is who, and we have paid special attention to distinguishing them. ”

As he spoke, he patted Greco.

The latter reacted at this time, and took out two of the jars that had been packed on the side and handed them to Catherine one by one.

He took out one first and said, "This is your cousin Martina."

A sad look appeared on Catherine's face: "What? Did my dearest Martina also die in this plague?"

But maybe she walked around before the ghost gate, and now she has a different view of life and death, and she is more open-minded.

It seems to be comforting himself, and it seems to be comforting his cousin's spirit in the sky: "But fortunately, I only lost two relatives, so Greco, who is left?" I hope not my grandmother, she is the best person in the world for me. ”

"Ugh"

Greco said with a complicated expression: "There are your cousin, your aunt, your cousin, your niece, and your grandmother."

“？”

“yes！” Jiang Lu waved his fist excitedly: "This is the real family bucket!" ”

On the way back, Catherine sat on the cart that had just loaded the corpse and hugged her relatives in silence, Marino and Greco pushed the cart, and Jiang Lu followed.

Jiang Lu looked at the two of them who were worried and comforted: "Don't worry, she is a reasonable person, I can see it." ”

There was helplessness and despair in the eyes of the two of them looking at Jiang Lu, and there was bitterness but they couldn't say it.

They could only pray that Giovanni Medici would not kill them.

But halfway through the prayer, they remembered that God probably wouldn't cover them now.

And so a deeper despair enveloped them.

And just like that, two mindless, one unhappy and one sloppy, finally rushed back to the inner city of Florence before the sun completely set.

A simple disinfection was carried out at the city gates, and they were able to enter the inner city.

The situation in the inner city is not much better than that in the outer city, where a large number of patients are crammed into cramped, unventilated rooms, waiting to be treated, and lying on the streets, accompanied by household garbage that no one can handle.

However, this kind of treatment is already a dream of patients, and many more patients are isolated in courtyards or houses with P characters painted on them, and they have no choice but to wait for death.

It's brightly lit, but it's lifeless.

It's not a long journey, but no matter who you are, it's been a long journey.

Catherine remembered some bad memories again and buried her head in pain.

Marino and Greco had long been accustomed to it, but each time they would subconsciously turn their heads away from looking at the hellish picture that saddened them as doctors.

Jiang Lu looked at the mountains of garbage and the cross-flowing sewage, thoughtful.

At this time, people had no concept of bacteria and viruses, and under the influence of religion, most believers would associate some incurable diseases with the degree of devotion in their hearts, thinking that they were punishments from God, or miasma that was invisible to the naked eye.

Naturally, there is no association between disease and garbage or those fluffy and lively mice, and there is no awareness of public health.

So, the more patients, the worse the environment, and the worse the environment, the more patients.

This leads to a vicious circle.

But in this regard, Jiang Lu was powerless to change anything, because no one would believe his fantastical rhetoric.

He needed something more intuitive and impactful to quickly elevate his status and influence, so that he could more easily find the source of the calamity.

He only had ten days, and he had to race against the clock, and as for science, it wasn't for him to worry about.

Of course, he wouldn't have been.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the Medici mansion.

Catherine jumped out of the cart and rushed to her house, knocking at the front door.

The door was opened by a rickety old man, judging by the way Catherine called him, he must have been the old butler here.

The moment he saw Catherine, the old butler panicked as if he had seen a ghost.

But when he confirmed that it was the lord's own sister who had been missing for a long time, he was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Miss, you're finally back! Thank goodness you're safe and sound! ”

He wept with joy, and then turned and trotted into the house, announcing the good news to the masters of the place.

Catherine did not forget Jiang Lu and the others, and invited them to enter the mansion together.

Jiang Lu naturally wanted to go, but Marino and Greco were a little hesitant.

It turns out that Jiang Lu is not mistaken, Catherine is a reasonable person.

"Don't worry, Mr. Holmes saved me, for his sake, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Only then did the two of them put down the stone in their hearts.

Walking inside, Jiang Lu was a little surprised to look at this building that could be called a work of art.

It is a courtyard house with three floors, the first of which is supported by an arched structure of many intricately carved stone pillars with reliefs, and beautiful vaulted frescoes fill every blank space, and the oil lamps on the stone pillars and each lit room make the whole house brightly lit.

"I've been here," Jiang Lu muttered suddenly.

Marino on the side was a little puzzled: "Aren't you from the East?" ”

"Thank you, Ubisoft."

"What?"

As he spoke, a procession led by a man in a red robe walked briskly down the spiral staircase from the second floor.

When they saw Catherine, their faces that had been filled with anxiety and numbness showed a kind of joy that seemed to be the aftermath of the catastrophe.

They have lost so many loved ones in these days, and Catherine's return is clearly an inspiring event for them.

"Sister!"

The man in the red robe embraced Catherine, despite the blood stains on her body, eager to rub her into his arms.

It can be seen that he should be Giovanni Medici, the lord of Florence today.

"Great! That's great! Thank God! ”

Giovanni wept and muttered excitedly.

The men and women behind him also greeted Catherine one by one.

No matter what their previous relationship with Catherine was, they were indescribably happy to see him again at this time.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, but there's been no news, where have you been?"

"I almost died in the outer city."

In front of her loved ones, Catherine finally let go of all her baggage and cried uncontrollably, crying while stammering about what happened to her after leaving.

Giovanni just listened quietly.

When he heard Catherine say that Jiang Lu had saved him, he noticed that his sister was followed by others.

Marino and Greco knew each other, so the handsome man in front of him, who looked upright, but had a story written on his young face, should be the one who saved his sister.

"Sorry, I was too excited to notice you guys."

The first impression coupled with this friendship made Giovanni have a great affection for Jiang Lu when they first met, and also expressed the most solemn etiquette and friendliness to him.

"It doesn't matter, the reunion between loved ones is the most joyful thing in the world, and of course it is worth stopping and admiring, and I am sincerely happy for you and I am glad to be able to enjoy such a beautiful picture as a witness."

Jiang Lu said the most civilized words he could think of.

The effect of pretending to be a sample is also significant.

Giovanni looked at Jiang Lu with a hint of appreciation and usefulness in his eyes.

"You saved my sister, and I will thank you with the utmost sincerity." Giovanni said politely: "Before that, you can take a shower and relax, and then we will talk in detail, what do you think?" ”

"May I take a shower?" Jiang Lule nodded: "You kid is quite good at making trouble." ”

"Huh?" Giovanni was stunned, a little strange.

That's not what you just said.

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

So Jiang Lu went to the bathroom first under the leadership of the housekeeper.

Marino and Greco looked enviously, although they were also helping Giovanni and walking around the pile of dead people, they obviously did not have such treatment.

However, they were already satisfied, at least Jiang Lu was very happy to help them complete the work of carrying the urn before leaving, there were many ashes in it that did not belong to the Medici family

The huge bathroom was empty.

Jiang Lu soaked in the pool, a little depressed.

The housekeeper explained how to use the infrastructure and left.

He waited a long time, but never for Giovanni's sincerity, which made him wonder if he had misunderstood something.

But at this moment, there was the sound of light footsteps behind him.

It's not so much the sound of footsteps as the sound of splashing barefoot on the watery stone floor.

Jiang Lu turned around and saw Catherine wrapped in a bathrobe.

After washing up, Catherine revealed her true face.

She has long brown curly hair, cold white skin is delicate and smooth, and her three-dimensional and deep facial features exude a unique charm.

A pair of slender calves were exposed to the bathrobe, and the small soles of her feet supported the weight of her body, causing her bony toes to be squeezed into a pearl-like rounded shape.

"Did you know this is the men's bathroom?" Jiang Lu leaned sideways, one arm lazily drooped on the edge of the bath, and asked with an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry." Catherine looked a little at a loss, and honestly stated her intentions: "I have just learned that my sister-in-law is also suffering from the plague, and I want to ask you to save her." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take a look later." Jiang Lu comforted.

Catherine received an affirmative reply, visibly relaxed a lot.

But I don't know what she thought, and a trace of entanglement and hesitation appeared on her face.

"Is there anything else?" Jiang Lu looked at her with a smile.

Staring at Jiang Lu's smile, Catherine gritted her teeth as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Another thing, that is, when I was just taking a shower, I found that I still have dark spots on my body, I am not at ease, and I am a little scared, so I would like to ask you to help me take a look again."

"Oh? This is no small matter. ”

Jiang Lu beckoned to her: "Come here, let me take a look." ”

Catherine obediently approached Jiang Lu and squatted beside him.

Jiang Lu raised his head and narrowed his eyes, this perspective made him feel a little novel.

"I can't see clearly, I'll take a closer look when you come down."

"Okay."

"Huh? Such a big piece? ”

"Please help me!"

"Well, since your life is at stake, then I can't take it lightly."

Soon, Jiang Lu learned something new.

First of all, the walls of the bath are very slippery, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will slip, maybe it won't hurt but it will hurt, and secondly, soaking in warm water for a long time will cause dizziness, once the heart rate increases due to strenuous exercise, there will be a slight feeling of hypoxia suffocation, if you are not in good health, it is easy to faint, and then, because of the resistance, the effort will be more, and finally, the water actually does not play a role in lubrication.

From any angle, it seems to be full of drawbacks.

There is only one benefit, and that is that the pressure under the water can be a magical experience.

All in all, although there are as many disadvantages as the stars, the benefits are like the sun, as soon as the sun comes out, the stars are not visible.

After some time, Catherine put her hands around Jiang Lu's neck, slumped in his arms, and whispered, "Great, I think I should have been cured." ”

Jiang Lu rubbed her head helplessly.

"You, you, that's obviously a birthmark, you're using my kindness to deceive my body, it's wrong for you to behave like this, don't make an example."

But Catherine apparently didn't listen.

"Uh-huh."

She snorted, "So dear doctor, when is our next follow-up?" ”

Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, and he understood.

"Don't worry." He cooperated: "Just a check, I still have to prescribe medicine for you, now open your mouth and let me see if there are any dark spots in your mouth." ”

"Ah~"

"I'm in good health, so I'm going to feed you medicine."

"Please, doctor, I think I'm going to need a lot of medicine to heal."

It doesn't matter where you are, but good morning!
