Chapter 126: The Plague

There was a greedy or excited glint in the eyes of all the sailors, even Jack and Flio.

Liu Zheng didn't think that their performance was unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that he had experienced so many task worlds and had a fundamental change in mentality, his performance would not have been much stronger, and maybe even more greedy.

The crew received the treasure, the white mud village was blessed and protected by the gods, and the guests and hosts were happy.

In the evening, Haka had almost emptied the village of reserves to entertain them, and it tasted pretty good, except for a few strange bugs.

In particular, it is a liquor made from corn, which has a slightly sweet taste and a strong aftertaste, which is deeply loved by sailors.

Except for the three Raphael on duty, everyone was drunk.

The crew and natives were face to face, shoulder to shoulder, talking to each other in words they didn't understand, but still chatting passionately.

Some of them looked at the indigenous women and walked directly into the thatched hut next to it.

Jack didn't even bother to enter the hut, and went into the jungle with a petite woman in his arms.

Liu Zheng didn't bother to care in his eyes, although he was not interested in this kind of behavior, but as long as you and I were willing, let them go.

Needless to say, it was their honor to serve the men of God, and it would be even more unexpected if they could leave behind future generations.

Everyone was happy that night, and the roaring bonfire burned for most of the night, reflecting a corner of the coast as if it were day.

Until the morning sun rose, revealing a small half circle of the sun, the intersection of the sea and the sky dyed the belly of the fish white, and the cool morning breeze blew on Liu Zheng's face, which made him feel refreshed.

Looking at the sailors and natives who were paralyzed into a pile of dead pigs, I don't think anything would have happened.

So he said hello to Wolf's Heart and went to the sea to practice.

Liu Zheng, who has already become a Jindan, naturally has a different momentum when he practices martial arts.

The nerve response that has been strengthened many times, coupled with Jin Dan's mellow and well-informed touch, allows him to keenly grasp the changes in the currents.

The reverse practice stirs up the waves to splash, and the forward practice drives the whirlpool to rotate, and the low sound of air penetrates the sea water and reaches the surface of the sea, like a whale playing in the sea.

An undercurrent flowed down Liu Zheng's left hand and across his back, and the dragon blood in his body also let out a hearty roar, and his right hand slapped out before the undercurrent flowed through.

The combined palm of heaven and man struck the sea water into a torrent and shot straight onto the beach, splashing Haka as he walked by.

Haka glanced at Liu Zheng who came from the sea in fear, and hung his head humbly.

He knew that this person was extraordinary, but now it seems that he is really like a god.

The old priest's teleportation technique is not something that ordinary people can bear, and a mentally trained sacrificial apprentice will have to sleep for a whole day to recover.

And Liu Zheng was just stunned for a moment, this strong will alone was enough to ignore a lot of witchcraft, and the incomparable divine power displayed in the sea made him even more frightened.

"Great man of God, your captain is calling you." Haka said respectfully.

"Call me Wallace, the man of God sounds awkward." Liu Zheng corrected.

"It's... Okay, great Wallace. Haka hesitated, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu Zheng's intentions, so he had to change his words.

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes, he had to add a prefix, you are not tired of what you said, I am tired of listening.

But he didn't bother to correct it, shook the sea off his body, and walked towards the village, Haka following with his head down.

Back in the village, Raphael was waking up the drunks one by one, but the ones who had entered the hut didn't need to scream.

People who can still do that thing will not get much drunk, and those who are really drunk will not be weak at all.

Haka diligently asked the villagers to cook a hot soup with herbs, jerky and other things to refresh the crew.

Although Liu Zheng was not drunk, the villagers also poured him a can.

Liu Zheng took the jar and thanked him, and the indigenous girl who poured water for him was flattered and waved her hand again and again.

The girl looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was already well developed, with a toned body, straight legs, and round breasts covered by shells.

The timidity and shyness of the young and beautiful indigenous girl has a primitive and youthful beauty, but what Liu Zheng pays attention to is not the scenery in front of her, but the blisters on her hands.

He grabbed the girl's hand, and the girl lowered her head a little shyly, but immediately looked at it boldly, and her eyes were full of three points of spring and seven points of temptation.

She was still a virgin, and yesterday she only danced with the sailors, and did not follow her into the grass hut.

She had her own requirements, and those godmen, although they looked very white and tall, were not handsome enough.

The angelic Raphael is of course her first choice, but the god-man with delicate skin is also a good choice.

"When did you grow up?" Liu Zheng asked, pointing to the blisters on her arm.

"Eh, this, I didn't pay attention." The girl replied in a panic.

"Who of us did you talk to yesterday, think about it, it's very important." Liu was staring into her eyes.

The girl was a little frightened, but his serious expression made her realize the seriousness of the problem.

After a moment of hard recollection, she pointed to a sailor who looked unawake from a hangover, "I danced with this god man yesterday. ”、

Liu Zheng let go of her hand, took a step forward, and in the next second, he was next to the sailor.

He grabbed the sailor's clothes and tore them, and the linen shirt was torn to shreds in an instant.

On the bare and hairy chest, there are pustules of plump and juicy pustules.

"Fuck!" Liu Zheng scolded angrily, put down the sailor, and slapped his palm on the wooden stake next to him, and the one-person thick wooden stake was slapped to pieces.

When the Baini villagers saw the gods, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The girl thought she had angered the gods, and collapsed to the ground, her lips white.

Haka didn't know why Liu Zheng suddenly got angry, and he didn't dare to ask, so he had to look at Raphael for help.

Raphael was also a little inexplicable, stepped forward and put his arm on Liu Zheng's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong, Wallace, what's wrong?" ”

"The plague, we brought the plague in." Liu Zheng's tone was full of regret and self-blame.

"Black Death?!" Raphael's face suddenly lost blood.

The Black Death, also known as the bubonic plague, was the great plague that swept across Europe, killing 25 million people in six years, accounting for 1/3 of the total population of Europe at that time.

In the real world, World War II, which is the most tragic in human history, only 1/20 of the total population died in Europe.

The plague originated in Central Asia and was introduced by the Mongols after the attack on the Black Sea port city of Kaffa, and then by Asian and European traders.

It then spread from Italy to Western Europe, then to Northern Europe, the Baltic Sea region to Russia.

The city most affected by the plague was Boccaccio's hometown of Florence, where 80% of the population died of the Black Death.

In Boccaccio's Decameron, Florence suddenly becomes a hell on earth: pedestrians walk down the street and suddenly fall to the ground and die; Those who stay at home die alone, no one knows until the stench is smelled; Every day, every hour, large numbers of corpses were transported outside the city; The cows roamed the streets of the city, but there was no sign of them.

Before the tragedy, Boccaccio exclaimed: "God is cruel to mankind to the extreme!" ”

Not only was it a direct injury from the disease, but the Great Plague also caused a great famine, which led to an outbreak of thieves and violent social, economic, and political upheavals.

At the same time, the Great Plague also led to hostility between different races.

Rumors began to spread that Jews were spreading the plague and poisoning it, and in Mainz 12,000 Jews were burned alive as the spreaders of the plague, and 16,000 Jews were killed in Strasbourg. 、

The effects of the plague were so vast and far-reaching that all the surviving Europeans were distracted by the word plague, the prestige of the Catholic Church was greatly reduced, and the development of science and thought was greatly accelerated.

Therefore, when Liu Zhengyi mentioned the plague, Raphael's first thought was the Black Death.

"No, it's smallpox." Liu Zheng shook his head.
