Yu Wenhao was also very sad when he saw it. It was not that he had never seen the accumulation of corpses. On the battlefield, not to mention hundreds of corpses, even thousands of corpses.
However, those soldiers died well. They sacrificed their lives to defend their homes and the country. They are worthy of respect before and after death.
But these patients were bleak during their lives and even worse after their deaths. They could not enter the soil for safety. They were abandoned before and after death.
It's like a maggot, making people nauseous even at a glance.
Therefore, if Yu Wenhao decided to treat the people of Leprosy Mountain because of his support for Yuan Qingling, now that he saw all this, it was his own will.
They walked toward the fence in the other direction, and they could see the patients sitting in twos and threes on the flat ground in front of the door. The distance was a little far away, but they could also see that they were completely unrecognizable.
They are male and female, old and young, ragged, and face dead, and when they get closer, they can see their stagnant eyes.
Man'er was shocked, "How come there are children? Princess, didn't you say that it will take a few years for the disease to develop? How can there be children?"
Yu Wenhao said solemnly: "These are all the children sent up later. Two or three years after the mother became ill, the children also found out that they were sick, so they sent them up together."
These were what Tang Yang told him when he came back from the investigation. He didn't have any ups and downs when he heard it at the time, but now that he saw it, he was really unhappy in his heart.
Since he is a father, his children are in good clothes in the mansion, but these children, looking like they are seven or eight years old, have been shrouded in the shadow of death, and it is impossible to see the prosperity and prosperity again in this life.
Yuan Qingling read the data given by Tang Yang. There are now 13 children on the mountain. The oldest child is 14 years old and the youngest is six years old. Not all patients here were sent here five years ago. , Whenever a leprosy patient is found, they will be sent to the mountain, even suspected cases are sent up, regardless of whether they are children or the elderly.
Yu Wenhao winked at Xu Yi, and Xu Yi put on a mask and walked over the fence towards the people.
The guards generally do not pay attention to the movement inside. They have a house outside, so even if one or two people enter, the guards will not notice it, as long as the number of people is small or the entrance is not from the front.
When Xu Yi first passed by, those people didn’t pay much attention. Every face was indifferent and numb, even the children. Even if there was an open space, the children didn’t play, they just sat quietly on the ground or lay down. On the ground.
Xu Yi communicated with one of them for a while, but the patient ignored him at first, and then Xu Yi quietly took out a piece of jerky and handed it to the person, so greedy eyes were suddenly exposed, staring at the piece of meat, Xu Yi pointed Pointing to the dense forest, the man got up and walked over with Xu.
Several people were wearing masks, waiting for Xu to bring the patient over.
The man looked like fifty or sixty, skinny, without shoes, because the toes had been deformed, the finger bones were also deformed, and there were no three fingers. The round and flat fingers were half purple and half red. Scab.
The spots on his face had condensed into pieces, which had become gray-black, which had something to do with not washing his face. The folds were covered with mud and dirt, and the whole body was stinking.
He sat on the ground and Xu Yi fed him meat. He was like an extremely hungry but weak old wolf, biting at that piece of dried meat.
Yuan Qingling asked softly: "Old man, let me ask you a few things, okay?"
When the man heard Yuan Qingling's words, he raised his head, and the scabs on his eyelids were slightly raised, showing a weird smile, "Old man?"
His voice was so dumb that it was almost indistinguishable, and his weird smile made his face look like dried yak meat, without a trace of moisture.
He is not like a person, but like a ghost in hell.
Xu Yi said softly: "He said, he is thirty-two years old."
For a moment, he was still silent, only the wind was blowing constantly in his ears, with the smell of rancidity.
After a while, Yuan Qingling asked Xu Yi to give another piece of sesame seed cake, and they all went up the mountain with dry food. Once Xu gave one piece, he ate it and gobbled it down, as if eating slowly and then disappeared.
Yuan Qingling said, "You eat slowly and choke carefully."
The man sneered, and laughed terribly, "It's good to choke to death, it's good to have a full meal anyway."
Yuan Qingling looked at Yu Wenhao. Yu Wenhao's face was so serious and shocked that he had never said a word. He just watched the man eating biscuits.
After he finished eating, Yu Wenhao asked, "What's your name? Are you here, is there insufficient food supply?"
The man sucked the residue on his fingers and returned to his indifferent coldness. He said: "My name is Li He. I have one meal a day. I eat all kinds of dry and rotten food. I eat rice bran porridge. Yesterday During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I ate a meal of white noodles and steamed buns, which can be eaten twice a year, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year."
The patient itself needs supplementary nutrition. Such food is not as good as a dog. How can it be nutritious? No wonder they looked skinny one by one.
"How many people are there?" Yu Wenhao asked again.
Li He said, "I don't know, it's about three hundred. Anyway, many people have died in the past few years, and occasionally some people have sent it up. This is a tomb of living people. It's the day of the countdown to the death. Who cares how many people are there? "
Yuan Qingling asked, "Have your family come to see you?"
Li He was startled, "Family?"
He laughed, as if crying, "Then who can't let them come up, what do they come up to? Will they be sent here after getting sick?"
Man'er heard tears streaming out, and asked in a daze, "Do you miss your family?"
Li He settled, and shook his head dumbly, "I don't want to, I don't dare to think about it, I can't live for a day if I think about it."
He turned his head and looked back, pointed at the cliff behind the building, and muttered: "How many people have jumped down because they miss home? I envy their courage. In fact, they are just waiting for death, why not dare What about jumping? I just don't dare to jump."
Yuan Qingling saw the intention of death in his eyes, and quickly said: "Li He, listen to me, don't seek death, hold on to all the hardships, and I will find a way to save you."
Li He looked at her with a mocking light in his squinted eyes, and smiled auspiciously, "Save us? Who are you? Are the gods going to the world? We are sick and dead, who can save us? ?"
As he said, he stood up staggeringly and walked to the building.
The four of them hadn’t spoken for a long time. They looked at the people across the jungle. Several of them looked at them, but no one was interested. They didn’t even have any curiosity. The shadow of death made them feel bad about everything on earth Lost expectation and interest.
For a long time, Yu Wenhao said sadly: "Let's go down the mountain and return to Beijing."
