The New England region, including New Haven, has been cultivated for nearly 100 years, and large creatures have long been lost under the encirclement and suppression of humans.

However, on the last night before Halloween, there were bursts of mournful sounds in the cold air.

The sound like the wailing of a lone wolf evokes many people's nightmares from the past.

William's wife, Sophia, was not as alarmed as those people, she heard the wail, closed her eyes, and listened quietly to the beautiful voice.

For her, those little nasty ghosts who come to the door to beg for candy are not human beings at all.

Rich people and poor people are two species by nature.

Even, those poor ugly guys are not as rare and cute as chimpanzees compared to chimpanzees.

In the long red strip of candy, she put a long needle.

In the round green candy, she put a zigzag fish hook.

She listened intently, discerning the different wails, the different needles.

The flames in the fireplace gradually rose and melted down the chimney into the haze of the night.

Blood!

Haematemesis!

The only small hospital in New Haven was crowded with a few small patients in an instant.

Their symptoms are uniform, abdominal cramps, vomiting blood.

But the doctors here can't do anything. They can only be introduced to rolling therapy.

The so-called rolling therapy is to roll on the ground, and maybe a dozen of them will be fine.

Of course, there are also some doctors who are more responsible, and they start to look for the cause.

After learning that the patients had swallowed candy containing fish hooks or needles, they were ready to disembowel the operation.

It is estimated that the needle and the hook are in the stomach, as long as the stomach is opened, the needle is removed, and the stomach is sewn back again, and the disease will be cured.

It's just that......

In this era of lack of highly effective antimicrobials, how long you can live after disembowelment is a question.

Early the next morning, Principal Doug found that his elementary school had a lot fewer students.

"Are they all alive?" said Doug, who approached Rose and asked her to ask the parents of the children.

"My kid, he! He went to ask for candy last night and came home and started vomiting blood......! We also look down on doctors...... I can only ......," the female worker said, and her tears were about to fall.

Don't look at the income of Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory, it seems that it is okay, but the income of an adult has to pay for all the expenses of the family.

Although the doctor can afford to see it, seeing the doctor means that the rest of the family will have to drink the northwest wind.

It is impossible to give up the lives of other family members in order to save one person's life.

Besides, even if you see a doctor, you may not be optimistic.

It's better to die than to die the whole family.

"So are my kids!"

"Mine too!"

Although these mothers have more than one child, more than one of the children in their family is vomiting blood.

"The owner...... That's it. Ross summed up what the women workers had said, and told Doug briefly.

"It's ......," Doug pondered.

Abdominal pain, vomiting blood.

These two symptoms sound clear, but we don't know how many diseases they correspond to.

Even in the 21st century, the most abidingly described condition by doctors is abdominal pain.

Because the abdominal cavity contains most of the organs of the human body.

Just one abdominal pain, who knows which organ is the problem?

Therefore, one voice will ask if it is upper or lower abdominal pain, left or right abdominal pain, throbbing or tenderness, or cramping pain.

Is it an epidemic?

Overnight, many children start to vomit blood with abdominal pain at the same time?

It shouldn't be......

That should be analyzed from their behavior.

"You go and tell me that the female workers who have children in the house who have abdominal pain and vomit blood are called over. Doug said.

Soon, more than half of the female workers gathered.

If only the candy sent by William's family had needles, of course it wouldn't have such power.

In fact, under Sophia's bewitchment, almost half of the candy sent by families in the entire rich area has needles or fish hooks.

Sovia, who has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, couldn't help but have a good night's sleep yesterday listening to the wailing, and when it was dawn in the morning, she began to prepare afternoon tea, ready to invite other wives to share her happiness.

People of this era are used to seeing life and death, and the female workers did not cry, but their expressions were a little uncomfortable.

"When did your children get sick?" ”

Doug said to the women workers who were standing in an arc.

"Last night. ”

"When I came back last night with candy. ”

"My child also wants candy to come back and cry out for pain!"

"Candy? Is it poisonous?"

Before Doug could speak, some of the female workers found something in common.

"Rose, you go and ask them all to hand over the candy. I'm going to check it out. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and hand over all the sweets at home to the boss!"

"But ......"

"What else are you? If the kids are all bad, what's the use of keeping that little candy?"

……

The women moved quickly, and it didn't take long for Doug to pile up a lump of candy.

Doug looked at the colorful candies like he was looking at a pile of poisonous mushrooms.

He picked out a beautifully packaged candy from the bare soup pile, and as soon as he twisted the wrapper, he saw a green translucent candy machine with a fish hook, like amber.

Doug stared at the hook and said, "I think I know how they got sick and how to cure them!"
