Plague Doctor

There seemed to be an impact in those eyes, Zhou Haorui had to look away after one glance, his heart almost throbbing.

"Dr. George Lei, are you...are you a crow..." At this moment, the old Jiang said in surprise.

"I feel it is." Yang Liuqingqing made a judgment, "Crow, did you mean 'the plague is coming' here?"

Zhou Haorui understood what she meant, the phrase that the plague tormented him for 20 days was coming. Could it be referring to the Black Death that ravaged the Middle Ages? Looking around, the cramped and dirty semi-underground alleys, the cluttered shouts, the huts with doors and windows closed, filled with the stench like corpse...

The pain at this moment and the suffering of the past twenty days are all surging in my heart.

"Are these all trainings for us..." Zhou Haorui asked the crow, still very confused, "Let's increase our strength?"

Dr. George Ray did not speak, but strode down the alley.

"Do you really need that?" Zhou Haorui chased after him and asked, "I'm almost going to become a lunatic."

"Give me money..." Yang Liuqingqing also chased after him, "You told him to increase strength? What you told me was to increase wealth, give money."

Is it against their will that this crow really is a tempting devil?

The old ginger was quite satisfied, and asked, "Can we go outside this alley to see the city?"

"Questions, questions, you are all waiting for others to tell you the answer." The figure finally spoke, "No one will always tell you, and what is told to you is not necessarily the truth. Some problems can only be figured out by yourself. , maybe never figure it out, then learn to walk in the fog."

"But..." Zhou Haorui was about to say something, but couldn't help but stop. Crow's words were intriguing.

"Then let's each ask a question, is this fair enough?" Yang Liuqing said, "I'll come first, where is this place? We crossed?"

"These are two questions. People who are not good at mathematics can't make a lot of money. And these two questions, you can't know the answer, because mortals can't really understand time and space. You can only know that you can't get here with the mental state of ordinary people. , madness is one way, but not all, of seeing the truth."

The bird-beak doctor was talking, and stopped outside a room. A piece of white paper hung out from the window at the base of the room, and there was a patient inside.

"This place is like a baby's cradle," it added. "Every night, you don't always come here, and crows don't always guide you."

Doctor Bird's Beak raised his cane with his right hand and knocked on the window, da da...

As soon as the sound of knocking on the window sounded, Zhou Haorui suddenly felt a sudden twist in the surroundings, and countless lights and shadows rushed out from the window at the foot of the wall, drowning the place.

His head cracked and his steps swayed, completely unable to resist this force, just like he couldn't resist the eyes just now.

Suddenly, all the distortions disappeared, and the scene in front of Zhou Haorui froze again, only to see that it was still night, and he was still in the alley of Quanshui Street, with Lao Jiang and Yang Liuqing beside him, all three of them were He leaned against the wall and gasped, still wearing his previous clothes, without the leather robe and beak mask.

"We're back?" Old Jiang looked around and seemed a little disappointed.

"We haven't left at all..." Yang Liuqing looked at the watch on his left wrist, "It's only been half an hour, it might just be an illusion..."

Is it just an illusion? Everything just now was fake? Zhou Haorui didn't know whether to feel lost or to be thankful, perhaps both.

At the same time, he looked at the dark night sky and felt a little different...

"Did you think..." Zhou Haorui pressed the top of his head, and his scalp that had been tense for many days loosened a lot. "My head feels better? It's not so painful and tight anymore?"

"Yes, it's much more comfortable." Old Jiang touched his head and said with joy, "I could barely keep my eyes open before, but now my eyelids are not so tired."

Find the answer by yourself... Zhou Haorui thought about it, looked down at the crow mark on his right wrist, and felt that the line of the mark became thicker and the color became darker...

"It seems that our spiritual power has really grown?" He made a guess based on his knowledge of the mysticism of half a bucket of water, "The crows have been polishing our spiritual texture for the past 20 days? Improve our talent and aptitude? ... Tonight's Illusion, is it more training?"

The more he felt, the more different feelings he had in his mind, and the bulge on the back of his shoulder became more solid...

There is really a strange feeling, as if a pair of wings are growing.

This made Zhou Haorui a little excited, because he was not talented enough to be admitted to the Tianji University that he dreamed of, and now...

"Whether the crow is a devil or not, we have become its believers..." He added, his excitement diminished, and his heart was quite unpleasant, so whether the crow is good or bad, "Also, the crow said 'flock of crows' , there should be other people like us who just didn't persevere, or not to our level."

"Like, Zhou Mo, what you said is too reasonable." Old Jiang nodded in agreement, "Are you a crow believer?"

Yang Liuqingqing has never been involved in this topic. She was looking at something with her mobile phone, and suddenly sighed: "The gold is gone, and Dr. George Ray didn't get it himself."

"What?" Zhou Haorui asked.

"The place we went to just now is Mary King's Alley in Edinburgh, Scotland, England, maryking's close, do a search for yourself."

Yang Liu Qingqing not only asked them to search, but also said:

"1645

In the summer, the Black Death broke out in Scotland, killing a quarter of the population. At its worst, Edinburgh had only 60 men left to defend the city, initially by the first plague doctor, John Paulitious, to fight the epidemic, but he himself died. Then came the second plague doctor, George-Raygeorgerae. George Ray was more successful than John Paulidi, and he cured many people. At the time, there were more than 500 residents of Mary King Alley, and many of them were saved by him. The treatment method used is as we have just seen, directly cutting off the patient's diseased skin, and then cauterizing the wound with a soldering iron.

Originally, the parliament at the time did not think that these plague doctors could survive the plague, so they promised a lot of money at the beginning. When George Leizhen went to collect it, the parliament was shocked, and then he defaulted on the bill. George Ray fought for that pay for ten years, died, and never got paid. "

Yang Liuqingqing sighed, "It seems that I don't expect to get gold, it's a devil..."

While Zhou Haorui and Lao Jiang were listening, they were already searching the Internet with their mobile phones.

Mary-King Alley…

After nearly three hundred years, it is now a well-known scenic spot and a thrilling place for many tourists looking for excitement...

Because it is said that there are often haunted places there, it is the souls of many who died of the plague, especially a 10-year-old girl named Annie...

In the dark night, Zhou Haorui looked at some pictures of Mary-King Alley on the screen of his mobile phone. The narrowness and dilapidation that remained made him shiver.

Was it just an illusion just now? No, it wasn't just an illusion.

Love the plague doctor.
