Chapter 639: Dead Lane [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]

The bird's beak doctor spoke a foreign Chinese language, which sounded like English, but not all, but Zhou Haorui could understand it.

He looked at Lao Jiang and Yang Liu Qingqing, not knowing if this was an illusion or a dream, what kind of place was this? Who is that?

"You cowards." Dr. Birdbeak waved his cane and shouted, "Yes, there are only 60 defenders left in Edinburgh, yes, John Paulidi is dead, and we may die too." But let me remind you once again that the council has promised to pay every doctor handsomely after the plague has passed. If you want to get your gold, don't let this city be in ruins, come with me. ”

John Paulidie? Edinburgh?

Zhou Haorui was puzzled, he didn't know the name, which country is Edinburgh?

Over there, Dr. Birdbeak was already heading down the alley.

"This is the United Kingdom?" Lao Jiang understands this, "Edinburgh is a city in Scotland in the United Kingdom......"

"We're in England now?" Zhou Haorui doubted.

"Possibly." Yang Liu Qingqing said, pointing to the oil lamp on the cramped stone wall, "But, what era?" ”

The shape of the oil lamp is old, and there is no trace of modern power lines, water pipes, etc.

Between breaths, I could smell a little of the petals in the beak of the mask, but it couldn't hide the stench at all.

Doctor Bird's Beak, this is a medieval thing in Europe......

"Let's go ahead and see what happens." Yang Liu Qingqing said that he had already left, "Maybe you can really get some gold?" ”

"Zhou Mo?" Lao Jiang shouted, "I've seen some information on this, Doctor Bird's Beak was very unpopular at that time, and it was safer for us to follow." ”

Zhou Haorui nodded in response, and chased after him on the dilapidated stone road with Lao Jiang.

The deeper you go into this semi-underground roadway, the thinner the air, the more foul-smelling, and the more crowded and dirty the lane. The jumbled sounds grew stronger, with frantic swearing, scolding those who did it, and some painful coughs.

"They're coming, they're coming......"

"Damned, useless 'doctors', it's better to believe in them than to trust the barber!"

"They are a group of devils, they are the ones who bring the plague, they are the ones who create the plague for the gold!"

"Shut up, shut up! They're here to save lives. ”

"It's Dr. George Ray and his apprentice! Doctor, doctor, this way, save us! ”

"The city is finished, they will die, and so will we!"

Zhou Haorui felt that his heart was trembling, as if he was being hit by waves of huge waves, and it was difficult to understand the taste.

On both sides of the alleyway were residential houses, the doorways and windows were boarded up, and the residents were forcibly isolated in their homes, except for a small window at the foot of the house wall, where a few guards and one or two guards handed in a small amount of water and food.

In some of the houses, the windows were pitch black and silent, and they were already dead.

In some of the windows, there was a faint glow of fire, and the faces of the inhabitants were about to peek out, sickly, emaciated, and dirty.

It was these people who made the noise, mad, but also weak and frightened. Apparently it was this weakness and fear that trapped the inhabitants who had become red-eyed beasts in the house, instead of rushing out and tearing the beak devil to pieces.

Not only Lao Jiang, Zhou Haorui also knows what's going on.

With medieval medicine at the time, plague doctors couldn't do much at all, they couldn't save a few people.

On the contrary, it is considered by many people to be the creator of disaster, the bringer of bad luck, and the devil who should be hanged......

At this time, Zhou Haorui saw rats running through the corner of a house wall, and there were still piles of people's excrement and all kinds of filth everywhere. A cold sweat broke out on his body, and he was nervous that he would also be infected with the Black Death, and he was almost vomited by the messy and disgusting scene.

"Black Death...... "Old Jiang whispered, "Black Death is the plague ......"

Lao Jiang's voice jumped a little, as if as long as he could break through the mediocrity and dullness of his life, it didn't matter how disgusting it was.

And the woman named Yang Liu Qingqing, an Internet nickname that has been outdated for twenty years, seems to really see the money and follow closely behind that Dr. George Ray.

A short time later, Dr. George Ray stopped in front of the window of a house where a blank piece of paper hung out, a signal for help, and there was a sick person in the room.

The doctor lifted the cane in his right hand and knocked on the window......

When Zhou Haorui and Lao Jiang walked up, they heard an excited woman's voice coming from inside the room: "Doctor! Here, here! My husband is sick, here, please save him, save him! The window at the foot of the wall revealed a woman's dirty and thin face, and she lay on the ground, continuing to cry for help.

"Open the door." Dr. George Ray said to the apprentices, handing them canes, "Quick! ”

It turned out that one end of the cane was a sharp iron hook, like a crowbar.

At that moment, the three of them worked hard and sweated profusely, and finally removed the wooden board that was nailed to the door, and suddenly there was a foul smell on their faces.

Dr. George Ray walked smoothly into the cottage, and the trio continued to follow, having to bend over as they entered, because the doorway was so low that they had to bend over as they entered.

As soon as they entered the house, the thin, unkempt woman came up to meet them and led them in the direction of the coughing sound in the house. Two children in their teens hid in a corner and quietly followed. Until Dr. George Ray said, "Don't come with the child, the patient is contagious." ”

"Go to the side yourselves!" The woman pampered the two children.

But the two children couldn't go far, and the underground house was small, with four walls, and the only thing it had was broken and dirty.

Walking through the vestibule, you reach the back room, low and narrow. The oil lamp brought the light, and on a wooden bed by the wall lay a man in the prime of life, his body covered by a rag, the man was very weak and seemed to be delirious, unaware of their arrival, but continued to cough and moan in pain.

The woman choked up and said, "Doctor, he's been coughing, and he has a lot of sores on his body......"

Dr. George Ray took his cane and lifted the rag on the bed at once, exposing the patient's bare upper body to the fore.

The patient's skin appeared to be darkened, and there were large ulcers on the shoulders and chest, and foul-smelling pus and blood flowed; There are also a few pustules the size of oranges that have not ruptured for the time being, and once they do, they will be ulcerated again.

Zhou Haorui's heart suddenly twitched again, and Lao Jiang and Yang Liu Qingqing were speechless.

None of the three studied medicine and had never been exposed to such a scene before......

"Your husband's condition is serious." Dr. George Ray said to the woman, his voice deep, "You have to have surgery right away." ”

Two more ask for a monthly pass duck!
