"ah!"
Lizi let out a low cry of horror, and immediately covered her mouth with her palm.
But Ren Ziling didn't blame her for her reaction because after hearing Lu Chaosheng's account of what happened that year, she couldn't hold back the horror in her heart, and even felt a faint chill down her back.
People from a village teamed up to bring an innocent woman to the Tingchao Cliff, ignoring the woman's painful pleas, but threw her alive under the cliff.
There is not only cruelty in it, but even the kind of human heart that makes people more and more terrifying.
Ren Ziling sighed and said, "Stupidity has always been a terrible thing."
She even smiled wryly: "I understand Dr. Lu why you refuse to tell Yi Yun. If such a little girl knows about this kind of thing, it is true..."
Lu Chaosheng also sighed and said: "This matter has always been something taboo in this village. After more than ten years, the flames of the movement to destroy the four olds that were raging outside burned here. But, what happened back then, No one mentioned it, and everyone stuck to the rules, as if it had never happened... Who is willing to think about that kind of thing? Who is willing to be responsible for that incident back then? The culprit who instigated everyone was arrested, and she The house was also burned down. They thought their evil was also burned with the fire."
Ren Ziling took a deep breath and said, "No wonder Lu Hai moved his family to such a remote place... This village is full of enemies, I'm afraid."
Thinking of Lu Hai's excited expression listening to Chaoya, Ren Ziling began to imagine how terrible things Lu Hai, who was only a very small child, experienced forty-five years ago.
Lu Chaosheng's consulting room suddenly became silent.
Now Lizi took out Lu Chaosheng and opened them for them to see. These were the appearance of the people in Lujia Village after they contracted a strange disease.
It's not a photo, but something that Lu Chaosheng drew from his memory later. Looking at the dense growths on the hands and feet of these patients, Lizi couldn't help but shuddered and said, "Is this... is this really a curse from the devil?"
Lu Chaosheng shook his head and said, "Part of the reason I decided to study medicine was to find out what this disease is. Because I don't believe in the so-called curse."
"Then have you found the reason?" Ren Ziling asked curiously.
Lu Chaosheng looked uncertain and said: "For so many years, I haven't really encountered this kind of cause. However, in recent years, with the development of the Internet, a lot of information can be disseminated in a timely manner. I saw some on the Internet. reports of such cases."
Lu Chaosheng turned the old-fashioned computer screen on his desk, found the favorite webpage after it disappeared, opened it, and said slowly: "This case is not found in many cases in the whole world, only a dozen or two. Ten examples. There is no clear definition in medicine, and it is temporarily called "mop hands". It means that after the patient's hands and feet are mutated, a large number of keratinocytes will grow, and become like a mop mopping the floor. It should be It's a disease of cell mutation."
"Well... I've seen reports of this thing before." Ren Ziling nodded.
She looked at the photo of the patient on the website, and compared it with the portrait drawn by Lu Chaosheng from memory, it was indeed very similar.
"This disease suddenly mutated people's hands and feet, which looked like mops and coral stones on the seabed. No one knows whether it will eventually cover the whole body. But for people at that time , It's really too scary. The old fairy Huang in the village deceived the people with her demonic words, and the villagers believed it." Lu Chaosheng shook his head, "I have hidden this matter for many years. I planned to wait for Yiyun If you come to ask me again, I will tell her."
Ren Ziling was silent for a while and said, "Doctor, can I accept these pictures?"
Lu Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Take it if you want it, anyway, it's useless now."
Ren Ziling tidied up and said, "Thank you doctor. Then, let's not disturb your work for now... Lizi, let's go."
Watching the two leave, Lu Chao let out a long breath. He leaned back on the chair, lit a cigarette silently, closed his eyes, and thought about something.
Maybe it was a long time ago.
…
…
"It's like some chemicals."
You Ye shook the test tube in his hand, looked at Luo Qiu and said, "As for what ingredients are in it and what effect it will bring, we will only know after testing."
Mo Mo frowned at this moment and said: "Senior, have you heard of the outrageous things those devils did in our place before the war?"
Luo Qiu glanced at Mo Mo and said, "Are you thinking that the strange disease that happened in Lu's Village back then was caused by the things in this box?"
Mo Mo nodded and said: "Isn't there an empty grid here? And it's buried so deep in the ground. If I didn't know how to transport the five ghosts, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it. That old witch was so I am anxious to throw the sick people into the sea together, I am afraid it is also worried that this kind of thing will be contagious, but she is not easy to explain."
Mo Mo frowned and said, "Think about it, if the old witch really used the stuff here to make people sick. As long as she doesn't continue to use it, all the patients will die. Then Lujia Village will recover It’s back to the way it was before, isn’t it? In this way, with the matter of living sacrifices and the fact that the people in the village are no longer infected with diseases, can’t they all come together to show the miracle of this old witch, is it convincing?”
Luo Qiu suddenly said: "Then if things are really like what you said, what are you going to do?"
Mo Mo took it for granted: "Of course it was announced. The old witch was taken away by the guards, so of course it didn't end well. But everyone who participated in the village back then was equivalent to an accomplice. Such a reckless disregard of human life, Just say that you just got instigated and let it go? Then act as if nothing happened? How unreasonable!"
Feeling the overwhelming sense of justice in Mo Mo's heart, Luo Qiu admired it and said, "Since it is going to be announced, how do you plan to announce it?"
"This..." Mo Mo was taken aback, he hadn't considered this aspect yet.
Luo Qiu said indifferently: "You discovered this thing... just consider me your witness. But I am still just an outsider to this Lujia village. You just found this box here Beyond speculation, how many people do you think believe this is how it happened?"
Mo Mo's face suddenly became ugly.
Luo Qiu sighed at this moment and said: "When the woman surnamed Huang was taken away, her tricks would probably be exposed. After so many years, how could none of the villagers not have thought about the unreasonableness of that incident back then? ? But they have been taboo to keep silent, haven't they?"
Momo silently looked at the found box, extremely embarrassed.
Luo Qiu said softly: "It's not that I don't know... It's just that I don't want to admit it."
Mo Mo said angrily: "This man! How can this man do this!"
Luo Qiu turned around, the burned house was on a higher ground. As long as you look around for a while, you can see most of Lu's Village. His voice slowly sounded, "Probably because... it's not just one person."
