Chapter 363: Do One Good Deed Every Day

Thinking of this, Chen Qingqing's eyes shone, "Since my elder brother pleaded for you, then I will not bother with you and can give you treatment, but..."

As she spoke, she paused and glanced at everyone.

"But I want to know how you contracted the corpse poison. What kind of corpse did you come into contact with? The degree of decay, and whether it was male or female? So I can prescribe the right medicine."

When the pockmarked face heard this, the panic on his face flashed away. Digging graves, exhuming graves, raping corpses, any one of them is a capital crime.

If I die in government office, it would be better to die of itching.

He calmed himself down and signaled to Carrot Head and Hooked Nose to stop talking nonsense.

"Miss Chen, to be honest, the three of us brothers did come across a corpse."

The pockmarked face thought about it and began to make up a story.

"Three days ago, my brothers and I went hunting in the wild. We chased a rabbit for more than ten miles and ran to a lonely grave. I was scared to death at the time. I thought the rabbit had become a spirit and brought us to the grave to take our lives.

But the three of us still mustered up the courage to come closer, and we discovered that the tomb had been opened by something, revealing a female corpse.

As the saying goes, 'The dead are great, and they rest in peace'.

Out of kindness, the three of us buried the body with earth in our hands. But who knew our kindness would backfire and we ended up being infected with the corpse poison. If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have been so kind."

"Yes, yes, we must have been infected with the corpse poison at that time. Girl, we are doing good things, you must save us!" The hooked nose nodded repeatedly.

Carrot Head also added, "Yes, it seems that the woman died not long ago, and the body is still fresh."

"That's all? If you really buried the body, no one else would have seen it?" Chen Qingqing obviously didn't believe what they said.

The pockmarked face swallowed and nodded guiltily, "That's all, really, if I were to lie to you, I'd be a puppy."

Carrot Head also swore, "Yes, whoever tries to deceive you will fall to death while walking, choke to death while eating, or choke to death while drinking water. In any case, he will not die a good death."

After hearing what he said, the hook-nosed man was almost vomiting blood in anger. He twisted his butt hard and said, "Shut up. Why are you interrupting me? Why are you acting like a nobody?"

The pockmarked face was afraid that this careless person would spill the truth, so he glared at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb."

Carrot Head looked aggrieved. "I just want Miss Chen to treat us quickly. I'm itching to death."

As he spoke, another wave of itchiness came over him, and he couldn't help but scratch off two more pieces of flesh from his arm.

Chen Qingqing frowned. He didn't believe these people would be so kind. They must have robbed tombs before.

But she had no other evidence, so she could only scare them for now.

Having made up his mind, Chen Qingqing spoke with a serious face,

"To tell you the truth, the corpse poison you're planting is extremely rare. It's called 'Corpse Disease,' also known as 'Corpse Poison,' or 'Haunting.'

People who suffer from this disease will experience extreme itching all over their body. It is fine if they don't scratch, but if they do, their whole body will rot, starting with the skin and then the internal organs, causing excruciating pain.

If not treated promptly, the patient will die in three days and turn into blood.

To cure this disease, you must take my secret recipe of Soul-Calming Herbal Pills orally once a month for three consecutive months."

"Girl, please give me the medicine quickly. I really can't stand it anymore." The pockmarked man wailed with a distorted complexion.

Chen Qingqing waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, besides taking the medicine, there is one thing I'm afraid you can't do."

"Yes, yes, yes. We will do whatever you say without any hesitation." The hook-nosed man agreed repeatedly in pain.

Luobotou was itching so much that he quickly expressed his loyalty, "Miss Chen, just tell me, if you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I won't scold a chicken. If you tell me to pick my toes, I won't blow my nose. As long as you don't let me die, you will be my reborn parents. I'm willing to be your slave."

The pockmarked face also said, "I'll obey Miss Chen in everything. Please give me a Soul-Calming Herb Pill first. I'm itching so hard I can't stand it anymore."

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Chen Qingqing did not intend to let them go easily, and put on a serious look.

"This medicine alone can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. As the saying goes, 'The person who tied the bell must untie it.' Your strange illness is caused by the stench of a rotting corpse.

"One good deed a day will eventually lead to great virtue." If you want to completely cure this disease, you need to do good deeds and accumulate virtue while taking the medicine.

Never commit evil and oppress others. If you fail to do so or do not accumulate good karma, all your efforts will be wasted.

If the old illness resurfaces, it will only take a day for the skin and flesh to rot, exposing the internal organs and leading to death."

These words frightened the three of them.

Although the pockmarked man made up a lie to fool everyone, digging up graves is an immoral act in itself, not to mention that he had sex with the female corpse. The female corpse must have been taking revenge on them, so she turned into a ghost and haunted several people.

The pockmarked face nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Miss Chen. We will definitely do it in order to survive."

Carrot Head quickly swore a vow, "Yes, yes, I can do it. From now on, I will stand guard on the street every day. If anyone dares to bully the poor, I will smash their head off."

The hook-nosed man spoke up, not wanting to be left behind. "That's right, isn't it just one good deed a day? That's easy. From now on, I'll stay up every night and help the night watchman keep watch."

"Yes, I won't sleep either. I'll go help people dig out manure and sweep the streets." The pockmarked man also agreed.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Chen Qingqing knew that they had been completely intimidated by her, and immediately said with a half-smile,

"As the saying goes, 'Good advice can hardly persuade a damned devil.' Anyway, I've done what I should do and said what I should say. As for whether you listen or not, that's up to you. If you really don't listen to good advice, then you're doomed."

"Don't worry, Miss Chen. We are not afraid of anything except death. In order to survive, we will never do bad things again. Please give us the medicine!" The pockmarked man's face was full of begging.

Chen Qingqing took out nine candied beans that she had prepared long ago from her cloth bag and shook them a few times in her hands. "I don't want much for this packet of medicine or the consultation fee. Just give me fifty taels of silver!"

The pockmarked man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and subconsciously touched his waist. This silver was the bribe given to him by Li the butcher.

If he took this out, he would not gain any benefit at all, but would get into trouble instead.

Thinking of this, he burst into tears and pretended to be poor.

"Miss, please have mercy on us. We are just idle people with cleaner pockets than our faces. We beg you to be kind and give us the medicine!"

"You wish! These are all made from precious herbs. If you don't have money to buy them, I can't give them to you for free. You better find a way!"
