Leprosy, in Western medicine, is a chronic infectious disease caused by leprosy bacilli, with the main lesions in the surrounding skin and nerves.

The clinical manifestations are numbing skin lesions, enlarged nerves, severe and even acral disability. The disease is very prevalent in the world, and in China, it is prevalent in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai and other provinces and autonomous regions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, combined with traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the disease has been effectively controlled.

The source of leprosy is untreated leprosy patients, but it can be transmitted directly as well as indirectly. For example, saliva such as cough of a person who is infected with the disease can easily cause infection.

Therefore, when I heard that I was going to visit leprosy patients in the leprosy village, it was natural that some people's expressions had changed.

As for leprosy villages, in fact, there are many such villages in China. The main reason is that it was relatively backward in all aspects back then, and after the large-scale infection of this leprosy, it could only be isolated for treatment.

Later, even if some patients were cured, they were already physically disabled, and even if they were cured, they felt that they were still contagious.

In such a situation, these former patients have been discriminated against a lot, so they can generally only be separated in a separate place, which also becomes a leprosy village.

The leprosy villages are full of infected patients, some of whom have not yet been completely cured, and some of whom have been cured, but who have lost their labor force, and in this case, they are not only physically and mentally disabled, but also have no labor force, so they can only rely on the help of the government and society to live.

There are still several provinces in China that have such leprosy villages, but before, Ye Chen had heard his grandfather say that he had not personally seen those patients.

As for Vietnam, the environment here, in fact, in many places, is similar to those in Guangxi and Yunnan in China, humid, large-scale population concentration, poverty and backwardness, if someone is infected with leprosy, it is often easy to be infected.

Therefore, the emergence of leprosy villages here in Vietnam is actually learning from China, and those patients who have leprosy are concentrated in one place to live, receive treatment, and after full recovery, if there is still a labor force, they or their relatives can support them, and if they lose their labor force, they can only rely on the government to support them.

However, now that the patients who are participating in the finals are going to the leprosy village, if they voluntarily withdraw now, it means that they have voluntarily given up this competition.

This not only means losing a large amount of prize money, but it may also be a loss of face in front of people from all over the world.

Ye Chen saw that Huang Xiaowei's expression was not good, Ye Chen looked at Liao Bingxue on the side and said, "Sister Bingxue, it's better for you to accompany her here." I'll pick you up when I'm done with the race. ”

Ye Chen felt that he had brought these two women here, and those little gangsters in Hanoi should not follow here.

"I'll take a look at it. Liao Bingxue insisted.

Since this is the case, Ye Chen can only take her over.

Like last time, when there was a large-scale plague outbreak in Xiaowang Village, Liao Bingxue had to follow.

Now it's just going to the leprosy village, how could Liao Bingxue be scared?

Liao Bingxue followed, Huang Xiaowei naturally couldn't stay in the hotel, so she could only follow along.

After confirming that everyone here will pass, the person in charge of the organizer naturally needs to prepare a new set of white coats, masks and gloves for individuals, so as not to infect those leprosy germs as much as possible.

Moreover, when it is time to participate in the competition, they will have to disinfect all aspects.

Ye Chen: They waited there for about half an hour, and after the organizer was ready, they got into the car again.

When she got on the car, Ye Chen was still sitting in the middle seat, and Liao Bingxue and Huang Xiaowei were sitting on both sides, so that when Huang Xiaowei was dizzy in the car, Ye Chen could still massage her to relieve her.

After about an hour's ride, I finally stopped at the foot of an endless mountain, and now there were already people waiting.

The people who were waiting were not from the leprosy village, but the other people who brought white coats, masks, and gloves, and when they came, in addition to visiting the leprosy patients, they also brought a large amount of food, oil and salt to distribute to the people living in the leprosy village.

For all the people who live in it have been infected with leprosy, and some of them have been cured, and some of them have not yet been completely cured.

Therefore, when they lose their labor force, the government and relevant social organizations will let people send rice, oil and salt, otherwise, if they have no food and drink, they can only starve to death inside.

Now when the organizer distributed white coats, masks, and gloves to everyone who entered the village, Ye Chen took three sets, one for himself, Liao Bingxue and Huang Xiaowei.

Ye Chen could see that these white coats were all new, and when they were put on, there was no other smell.

Soon, they were all dressed, masks and gloves were put on, and they looked not much different from the doctors in the hospital.

Of course, the villagers inside, in fact, like the villagers in the leprosy villages in China, are fine if they see the doctors in white coats coming in, but if they see other people from outside breaking in, they still feel scared.

Because they are afraid of being discriminated against, they are also afraid of spreading the disease to others.

Now, when these doctors and others brought things in, someone at the entrance of the village noticed that when they shouted in Vietnamese, many villagers who could walk came out of it.

These villagers look similar to other Vietnamese on the outside, black and thin, but they look even worse, many of their limbs do not look like normal human limbs, and their faces look crooked.

At this point, Ye Chen had already thought that Huang Xiaowei and Liao Bingxue were seeing it for the first time, and neither of them dared to look over.

Ye Chen and Liao Bingxue followed behind the group of people, and the organizers first distributed oil, salt and rice to every household inside, and then summoned these contestants to a simple square in the village.

Now there are chairs and stools, but not many people sit down.

When Ye Chen, He Qi Mingna and other contestants were standing there, the person in charge of the organizer said: "Just now, the village chief here said that there is a villager leprosy patient here in the leprosy village, and the attack is very severe again, and the drugs that worked before have no effect now, look at you doctors, how can you cure him?"

Ye Chen couldn't understand Vietnamese, but when the female translator next to him translated those Vietnamese, Ye Chen had already understood.

The other party meant that they wanted them to treat the leprosy patient, and if anyone had a good treatment effect, then the results of this Oriental Medicine Contest would naturally come out.
