When Chi Fei came to the cowshed, he saw that several cows were tied there.

As soon as he asked, he found out that these were all cows, and the places where blisters and pustules appeared were all concentrated in the *** part of the cow, but they could not be seen elsewhere.

Chi Fei leaned over to take a closer look, and sure enough, he found that there were obvious pustules and ulcers on the *** and Ru heads of these cows, which did look very similar to the pustules on the sores of the patients.

Chi Fei wasn't sure if the cows really had smallpox, but since there were so many cows with the same symptoms, it shouldn't be a coincidence.

To verify whether these are real cow smallpox, it can only be confirmed by experiments on living people.

Chi Fei is a modern person with normal three views, and he is still quite resistant to using living people for live experiments.

But now that the situation is urgent, even if you have to bother with a conscience, you have to do it.

So, he immediately proposed to Ning Yafeng that ten death row prisoners were needed for the first live experiment.

Ning Yafeng had already heard from her father Ning Zhiyuan that her brother-in-law needed to use death row prisoners for experiments, so she agreed without saying a word.

He immediately sent soldiers to the nearest county town to escort the prisoners on death row in the prison, and if the number of people was not enough, he would go to the next county town to find them, and make sure that they had enough to make up.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ning Yafeng informed Chi Fei that the ten death row prisoners he wanted had been sent over.

Chi Fei personally went to the prison to take a look at the ten death row inmates, and saw that among them were young people in their twenties and middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. Among them, there was one of the oldest old men with a bookish face, and he still looked like a literati.

Although these people seem to be a little aggrieved, they are generally healthy.

Ning Yafeng said to the ten death row prisoners, "As for why you are being escorted here, you all know it, right?" ”

The death row inmates looked at each other, then nodded one after another.

A death row inmate in his forties asked with a flattering smile: "My lord, as long as we accept the reality and experiment, we can be exempted from the death penalty?" ”

The other death row inmates also looked at Ning Yafeng very nervously, waiting for his answer.

Ning Yafeng nodded and said, "That's right, as long as you obediently cooperate with the experiment, your capital crime can be exempted and changed to the punishment of exile." As for where to go, it is up to the government to decide. Anything else to ask? ”

The death row inmates were afraid that asking too many questions would annoy the general, and they all said that they had nothing more to ask.

Ning Yafeng turned to Chi Fei and said, "Ah Zhen, these people will be handed over to you." If anyone is disobedient, it's up to you to fight or kill. ”

"Then thank you second brother."

"Everyone is their own people, what's polite."

After Chi Fei took over this group of death row prisoners, he did not immediately conduct experiments, but let them take a shower and change into clean clothes, and provided them with sufficient food and a barracks to rest in, so that they could take care of themselves for a few days before speaking.

In addition, he had to ask the soldiers to set up separate tents for each of them to conduct scientific observations.

Such generous treatment made the death row inmates happy but also worried, wondering what these officials wanted them to do.

They only knew what sore-scattering experiments these officials wanted them to undergo, saying that they wanted to find a way to treat sores.

Although most of them had never read a book, they knew that sores were a kind of severe plague that made people talk about it, and there was no cure at all.

If they had a choice, they would never have agreed to participate in such a thing, but unfortunately they were all death row inmates waiting to be beheaded, and they had no choice at all.

"Mr. Zhang, you are the most knowledgeable person among us, what do you say these soldiers want to do to us?" A death row inmate in his thirties asked the bookish old man.

Zhang Wenxuan said calmly: "The old man doesn't know, but since they have to take great pains to bring us here from prison, they may really want to find a way to treat the sores."

As far as the old man knows, there is a plague outbreak in the northwest now, and if they want to use our bodies to study a cure for the sores, it is reasonable.

As for what the method was, the old man couldn't think of it. ”

"If that's the case."

A young death row inmate sneered: "Well, if what this old man said is true, then don't these soldiers want us all to get rid of sores, and then find a cure from us?" ”

Hearing him say this, most of the death row inmates suddenly changed their faces.

"These people can't be so unvirtuous, right? Really let us get sores? ”

"No, this little brother has a point, it must be so."

"his grandmother, these soldiers are too immoral, don't they treat us as cattle?"

"I said no wonder they were so kind to bring us here, it turned out to be really uneasy and kind."

"No, we can't just let them do it, if they get sores, they will definitely die, this is simply using our lives as monkeys."

"yes, that's right, you can't let them mess around."

Just when many death row inmates began to get excited, the 30-year-old death row inmate who was the first to ask the question said coldly, "You go and make trouble, just go and make trouble, so that those soldiers can send us back to death row and wait for beheading." ”

As soon as these words came out, those death row inmates who were originally excited suddenly became dumbfounded.

Because they were so excited just now, many of them forgot that they were all a group of death row inmates waiting to be beheaded.

It wasn't until the man spoke that they remembered the brutal truth.

In this situation of silence in the audience, Zhang Wenxuan opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, please let the old man say a few words, it is true that this little brother has a point, and we are likely to become what he said."

But we are all people waiting for death, rather than waiting to be beheaded by the government, it is better to gamble, and maybe there is a chance to escape death.

As far as the old man knows, although the sores are incurable, the people who get the sores are not bound to die, and many people can still survive. ”

"Mr. Zhang, what you said is true, there is a chance to survive if you have sores?" A death row inmate asked excitedly.

"Yes. The old man had an old man's son who also had sores when he was a child, although the period was very dangerous, but in the end he still survived, but his whole face became a pockmarked face. This is what the old man saw with his own eyes, and he didn't dare to deceive you. ”

Hearing his words, the death row inmates finally settled down a little, and they were no longer as scared as before.

The death row inmates lived in this uneasy atmosphere for three days, during which they had almost nothing to do except wear anklets and bracelets, and were constantly watched by the soldiers, except for eating and sleeping every day, almost like raising pigs.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the fourth day that the soldiers took them all to a large tent and said they were going to start experimenting.

At this moment, the hearts of all the death row inmates suddenly lifted.

It's finally coming.
