"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on!"

Duluth appeared in his heart, in the Lin Mu Company, the *** sent by the foreigner, at this moment, he just wanted to throw the *** on the king and princess in front of him!

The scene in front of her was easy to understand, because the princess was uncomfortable with the perfume and the ash on her face when she sprayed perfume, so she washed her head and washed the dirt on her neck and face, where she was coated with petal juice every day.

As a result, the lord came over to beat her, not because his daughter was not hygienic, but because she was too hygienic and washed the ashes off her body!?

Duluth has a black question mark on his face, just this girl's gray, not more than half a year, can't be raised at all!

The maid on the side ate Duluth's things, and it seemed that the system intended to use these NPCs to solve the puzzle, and whispered next to her: "The church requires us not to take a bath, otherwise we will get sick." But if you don't take a bath for a long time, it's hard for people to stand it, especially on your head and neck, so many people take a quiet bath in private to wash off some dirt on their bodies, and princesses are like this. But such a thing cannot be said to the outside world, and in order to ensure that they are not attacked by the disease, many people take a bath only to wash off a layer of dirt, not all of it, after all, the shadow of the Black Death is too terrible......"

What does the church ask for?

Duluth was intrigued, and after some questioning, the maid introduced him to the situation.

……

Before the Middle Ages, that is, before 500 AD, during the Roman Empire, many cities had large public bathing facilities, similar to social welfare, even if they were luxuriously decorated, ordinary people could still bathe in these facilities for free or for a small fee.

Therefore, during the Roman Empire, the people were generally cleaner and liked to be clean, after all, the comfort after taking a bath is a natural feeling of human beings.

However, with the collapse of the Roman Empire, the European continent fell into various divisions, and not only the once prosperous public bathing facilities were destroyed, but even the pipes and boiler technology used for bathing for everyone were gradually lost, and European cities fell into a situation where there were no baths to wash.

If that's all there is, then it's nothing, it's good for each family to find a way to take a bath by themselves, although it's a little troublesome, but it's not as good as it is now.

However, from that period, the medical officers, including the church, did not know what was wrong, and felt that after people took a bath and rubbed off the mud on their bodies, it was easy to attract diseases, relying on the backward medical skills of Europe at that time, whether or not they could survive any disease depended on God, so the medical officers and churches at that time generally propagated the idea of "don't take a bath".

If it is just the propaganda of medical officials and churches, although the people have some trust in them and choose not to bathe, for most people, they will still find water to wash every once in a while, and "not bathing" is just a "non-mainstream behavior" in society.

But the Black Death came.

The Black Death, which swept across the continent, began in 1338 A.D., when the Mongols attacked the city of Gafa, throwing the bodies of rotting and diseased Mongol soldiers into the city of Gafa, and the Italian merchants who controlled the city fell into the shadow of the Black Death.

Not long after, the plague was rampant, and even the Mongols were affected by it and retreated.

The city of Gapha was already a hell on earth, full of sores and rotting corpses, the skin of which was black and purple, and the living called it the "Black Death".

After being infected with the Black Death, they would die in just three to five days, and those who were lucky enough not to be infected took advantage of the retreat of the Mongols and hurriedly boarded several sailing ships to return to their homeland Italy, but the fleas and rats that spread the Black Death had already climbed onto these ships with them......

By this time, the news of the Black Death in the city of Gafa had already terrified the people of the European continent, and no country dared to receive these fleets and not allow them to set foot on their own soil.

These sailing ships drifted in the Mediterranean for a long time, and some people died, most of them all dead and lonely on the sea, and the Europeans at that time called them "ghost ships".

It would be fine if all the people of these ships died at sea, but God did not seem to favor the believers in Europe.

In October 1347, the only remaining ship was in the port of Messina, Sicily, Italy, where they paid off the governor and declared that they were not infected.

The locals are not fools, and as soon as they come ashore, they isolate the boats, and normally burn all the things on board, but some rats have taken the opportunity to climb ashore along the cables, and just like that, a terrible ghost has quietly descended on Europe.

Within a week of the ship's disembarkation, a massive outbreak of the Black Death broke out in Sicily, which spread inland and across Italy!

Mike, a surviving monk at the time, recorded what he saw and heard.

"Everyone who contracted the Black Death, the friends he had come into contact with, his loved ones, even the people who carried him to his grave, would soon be in his footsteps. ”

Another monk wrote:

"Because the disease is transmitted through the respiratory tract, it is transmitted from one person to another when people talk. All patients experienced excruciating pain, some trembling all over, and as a result, bean kernel-shaped pustules appeared in the arms and thighs, which infected and penetrated the body, causing the patient to vomit blood violently. The horrific symptoms were ineffective and lasted for three days before death. It's not just that talking to a sick person can lead to death, it's that anything you buy, touch, or get from a sick person can die from the infection. ”

The locals are overwhelmed by this and have no other way than to pray to God.

But what is the use of prayer?

Isolate, bury the body?

It's all useless!

Every day at dusk, there would always be people pushing wheelbarrows, shaking bells in their hands and shouting, "Collect the dead! Collect the dead!", and then every household would open the door, carry the dead relatives to the car, and then push them out of the city to be burned or buried.

Monk Mike watched the "boils" on those who were sick become the size of walnuts, eggs, and goose eggs, and watched them die.

The sight of the other families dying and not daring to go out during the day, so they can only close the door and watch the corpses decompose in fear, which is enough to make people crazy!

Later, even the corpse pit outside the city could not fill so many corpses, so the corpses could only be scattered and discarded, and the scene was unbearable, and more and more people believed that this disaster was God punishing the world.

However, when the medical officer was helpless, even if the believers prayed sincerely, it still had no effect, as if God really wanted to destroy the world......
