As he spoke, Cheng Muyou tore off a corner of his clean clothes, pulled Yan Niang's hand over, bandaged the back of her hand carefully, and whispered in his mouth, "The whole plant is poisonous, especially its juice, which is very irritating to the skin, and contact can cause inflammation and ulceration."
Although the girl's skin is different from ordinary people, she can't be too careless, and when she returns to Xin'an, I will help you heal it well. ” Yan Niang didn't resist, let him bandage his wounds, and said to herself, "At that time, the situation was critical, and the old woman's idea of rebirth was very strong, and she entered my body from the Guan Yuan acupoint on her waist and sealed all my vitality, so in the end, she was only a fraction away from completely occupying my body, but when she was about to wake up, she suddenly saw this scar, and she cowered back, I felt her fear, so I seized the opportunity to completely expel her from my body."
But it was just a small scar, how could it make her lose all her anger and be so weak?
” Cheng Muyou tied the strip of cloth into a small knot, and then slowly looked up at Yan Niang, "If the girls knew what they had been through, they would understand why they were defeated by a small scar. ” Yan Niang stood up and looked into the distance, thought for a while, and then lowered her head to look at Cheng Muyou, "The one who is boiled is the gas of the plague, poison, foreign gas, anger, and miscellaneous gas.
"Su Wen" said: "The fur is so big that the people die violently."
'My lord, what kind of disease is this?'
” Cheng Muyou stroked his chin and was silent for a while, then he met Yan Niang's curious gaze and said softly, "Ancient documents record that people with furious disease will have serious deformities and deformations, including large-scale skin thickening and ulceration, followed by more terrible symptoms such as eyebrow dropping, eye damage, nasal collapse, cleft lip, and foot piercing.
As the disease worsens, the patient will gradually lose the sense of pain, and without the protection of pain, it is easy for people to hurt themselves without realizing it, so they often hit sharp stones, or roast the skin and flesh to scorch.
This can lead to secondary infections, which often persist and along, along with bone destruction in the extremities, resulting in loss of fingers and toes. ” Yan Niang was stunned, "There is such a terrible disease in this world?"
” Cheng Muyou closed his head slightly, "Not only that, the most terrifying thing about the disease is that it is contagious, so all dynasties have been extremely afraid of people who have this disease and stigmatized it."
Since ancient times, it has been uncommon for patients to be isolated, burned to death, or buried alive.
The Qin Dynasty recorded that if a person was convicted of a disease, he would be immediately exiled to the border area and immediately executed there.
What is even more terrifying is that, due to the limitations of medical technology, the fearful people cannot explain these phenomena, so they think that these sick people are sinners and unclean people, and that they are punished by the gods when they are sick, and they will be driven away and killed when they encounter the sick.
As a result, patients are often afraid to tell others about their condition or seek medical attention, but instead flee to remote areas to hide in order to save their lives. ” Yan Niangfeng's eyes widened, "So Lu Tianrui and his people lived in seclusion here just to avoid the killing of outsiders?"
” "Xiao Wu told me that they were not of the same clan at all, but because they were suffering from the same disease and gathered together, they called each other the same clan.
In that year, a Tianzhu monk came to the Tang Dynasty, originally going to Beijing to translate Buddhist scriptures, but on the way to the two banks of the Yellow River, he saw that there were many patients with boils, so he was compassionate, and built a temple in the beautiful part of the mountains to take in these homeless patients.
However, they were later discovered by the government and ordered to be arrested, and they resisted, escaped by luck, and settled down in Jingmen Village, which is surrounded by swamps. ” "What happened next?"
According to Xiao Wu, although Lu Tianrui's parents both suffered from the disease, he did not know why he had never contracted the disease, so he became the only person who could leave Jingmen Village and go outside, and the only bridge between them and the outside world.
Although these people have been living in seclusion here and providing for themselves, there are some necessities of life that they can't make, so they can only be bought back from outside by Lu Tianrui.
But one day, when Lu Tianrui came back, he brought a girl, according to him, the girl named Lingxiang had fled, and the old father couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey, and died of illness on the road, leaving her alone.
Lu Tianrui relented and helped her bury her father, and the girl said that she would come back with him and make a promise.
Of course, Ling Xiang was overwhelmed with frightening frightening limbs when she saw them, and she wanted to flee in a hurry, but Lu Tianrui comforted her, saying that he would build another house elsewhere and live separately from these people, so that she didn't have to be afraid.
Ling Xiang was young and didn't know that these people were suffering from boils, only when they were injured and didn't want to see people, they lived in seclusion here, plus she did have feelings for Lu Tianrui at that time, so she agreed. ” Yan Niang played with the white line on her wrist, "That Lingxiang regretted it later?"
” Cheng Muyou nodded, "In the first few years, she and Lu Tianrui lived quite harmoniously, and Lu Tianrui's father and mother even began to hope that the Lingxiang girl could give birth to a healthy grandchild for them.
But Lingxiang's psychology is changing little by little, which can't blame her, she has been living with some strange-looking people for many years, and anyone will feel depressed.
So, she began to look forward to leaving Jingmen Village.
At the beginning, when Lu Tianrui went out, she begged him to take her out, and later, even if she didn't need to buy any items, she always wanted to run out twice in three days.
One day, she couldn't help it, and even said to Lu Tianrui that she wanted to move out of the village with him and settle outside.
Of course Lu Tianrui will not agree, his parents and clansmen are here, he is their only hope and reliance, if he leaves, who will take care of the remaining people.
So the first quarrel broke out between the two, and according to Xiao Wu, they quarreled so fiercely that Lu Tianrui even did not hesitate to make a move on Ling Xiang and beat her to lie on the bed for three whole days.
Xiao Wu also said that Lu Tianrui did this on purpose, because in the past six months, he had already felt Lingxiang's change, her ambition was too big, and she didn't want to be confined in Jingmen Village anymore, so he beat her just to establish the authority to be her husband, so as to deter Lingxiang and make her take her heart back. ” Yan Niang sneered, "This Lu Tianrui seems to be smart, but in fact he is a fool, he doesn't understand that although a woman's fists are not hard, she can get back everything that others owe to her in other places." ”
