Early the next morning, Yiqing got up early in the morning, took Yilan and colorful flags, and reported today's itinerary to Chunjiang's cousin.

Due to Ruomei's dishonesty, Xiao Taohong was once again left at home and couldn't go out with her.

Chunjiang's cousin happened to be in the study, and it was Mrs. Chun and Chunxing as companions, and Chunxing was copying the posts of famous calligraphers.

Aunt Min had just become pregnant, and she was very harmful, so the power of the housekeeper was finally put into the hands of Mrs. Chun.

"Two sisters are here!" Mrs. Chun was writing ink on her sister Chun Xing and talking gently.

Chunxing didn't look up or answer, her hand still holding the pen steadily.

Yiqing didn't care, and discussed with Cousin Chunjiang about the house given by Liu Lanzhi and now Bai Lanzhi, saying that she wanted to renovate it well, and asked Cousin Chunjiang to recommend a few reliable construction teams.

"That's easy to say! I've left the work of construction to me, in fact, this folk skilled craftsman is much easier to use than the official family! Cousin Chunjiang said proudly.

Yi Qing smiled: "In this way, thank you Cousin Chunjiang!" I want to tear down that house and rebuild it, I don't know if it's expensive or not? And the house, I want to build exactly as I want it to be. ”

"It's okay, you should be busy with your work, I'll help you ask the approximate price first, and then I want you to draw a drawing to make a decision!" Cousin Chunjiang patted his pants and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Chun Xing said anxiously: "Cousin, where are you going?" They haven't finished writing yet, so you just said to help me read it......"

The two sisters gasped, how old are Chunxing! Still coquettish like this, Mrs. Chun doesn't care?! Then involuntarily looked at Mrs. Chun's belly.

Mrs. Chun turned a blind eye, although Aunt Min was her own sister, but she was not as good as her own sister-alas! Since the incident last time, it has been difficult for Mrs. Haru to get pregnant again......

Cousin Chunjiang's old face turned red, looked at Yilan's inquiring eyes, and prevaricated: "Chunxing, you are a big girl, don't say such nonsense in the future!" Min Min is pregnant, and you and your sister hurry up to make a gift to you. Hurry up and don't get busy before the autumn exams! ”

"That Yiqing is also a little girl, why don't you care about her running out for three days! And she can have a house...... Doesn't it mean that an unmarried woman in the family cannot have an inheritance? Chun Xing's mouth was open, and the words blurted out like jumping beans, and Mrs. Chun couldn't even stop it.

"Two sisters, I'm really sorry, this kid just speaks too straight! But she doesn't have any bad intentions...... I apologize for her, she has no culture, you two don't have the same knowledge as her......" Mrs. Chun quickly explained, and motioned for the two of them to leave!

Hearing this, Chunjiang's cousin's dark face eased slightly, and said, "I am very relieved that you two sisters!" And it's the one I've said I'm going to travel before! You just don't know...... And they went out to help the poor who had no money to see a doctor, Chun Xing didn't want to slander his family's good deeds......"

Yiqing didn't want to have a senseless fight with the little girl, shook her head to show that she didn't mind, and took out a box of beauty cream from her cuff and handed it to Cousin Chunjiang, saying, "Cousin, this is my new thing, do you want to sell it?" ……”

……

"Second Miss, why don't you give that good thing to Qing Yu Nian?" Caiqi asked unwillingly, but the Zhang family didn't give their own lady a few taels of silver for the perfume and soap last time, and they almost pasted a good bracelet into it.

Yilan was also curious.

Yi Qing said: "Oops! Don't think I'm so complicated, I'm just thinking that Cousin Chunjiang's business is not good, let's help, that's all! Besides, who said I won't give Qingyutang anymore? Cousin Chunjiang sells it for the common people, and Qingyutang must be making high-end goods! It's not a conflict at all! ”

After saying a word, he slowly walked to his destination.

The old coachman coughed and said, "Miss, we can't get by!" It's a terrible road......"

As far as the eye can see, the rows of dilapidated houses inside do not look like they are inhabited at all if it were not for a few wisps of smoke rising from the stove. The road into the village was completely gone—a jumble of weeds obscured the entrance to the road......

"Second Miss......" The bunting suddenly pulled Yi Qing's sleeve and stepped back.

Under the pile of weeds are small grave bags, if it weren't for the colorful flags, you really couldn't find it......

Yiqing's wish to be fulfilled this time is a young man's: he died of illness two years ago, leaving behind an old father, son and wife who were also sick, and his soul didn't say what the disease was...... But look at this posture, but everyone else is dead, right?! I can't explain it......

"What should I do?" Yilan asked, and the coachman also passed slowly, and said, "I'm afraid this is sealed by the officials, right?" Miss, you see there are rows of ditches dug in there, and the ditches are full of spears! ”

The group got into the carriage again and began to circle around the village, trying to find something.

However, the place is mostly deserted, and there are a few families outside the village, but as soon as they see someone coming, they hurriedly hide inside, apparently unwilling to come into contact with them......

When the group reached the halfway point of the house, the number of houses slowly increased.

"Huh?" The coachman suddenly reacted and said, "Miss! Isn't this Miss Bai's house? I went around in a big circle, and I came around! ”

Sure enough, it is the Bai family, just to rest and find out the news by the way.

"Two benefactors, fast forward, fast forward!" Bai Lanzhi greeted him personally, followed by the little girl he saw last time.

Yiqing was not polite anymore and made her intention clear.

"It's so close! No wonder my father hasn't come to the door in person! After listening to the intentions of several people, Bai Lanzhi first laughed at himself and said: "Miss Yiqing, you are from other places, I don't know that there is a leprosy village in our big capital, although it has been quarantined for a long time, but it is still very terrible!" If you look at the virtues of my father and grandmother, you will know that they are afraid of leprosy and will not come to me to make trouble! ”

Yi Qing was noncommittal.

Yilan comforted: "Didn't you see that Zhao Yanyan's people came that day?" It's okay...... We had just come around the leprosy village, and the ditch was so wide that the lepers could not escape...... Don't worry! ”

Leprosy is perhaps the oldest infectious disease of mankind, with roots dating back millions of years. Even in 2016, there were hundreds of new cases of leprosy every year around the world, a disease that damages the skin and nerves and, if left untreated, can lead to disability and even death.

Because leprosy patients will have more terrible symptoms in the later stages, such as eyebrow dropping, eye damage, nose collapse, cleft lip, and foot piercing, giving people a sense of horror, when people cannot explain the disease, it is considered to be the punishment of the gods for human beings. So leprosy suffers from discrimination since the occupation.

Since there was no good cure in ancient times, there are records of fighting leprosy in later history, both in the East and in the West, but when such diseases were discovered, those in power adopted passive methods to curb the spread: kill, burn, and isolate!

Even in the prosperous and tolerant Tang Dynasty, the existence of leprosy was a sin!

Yi Lan was nervous and looked at Yi Qing with an inquiring gaze. The disease itself is extremely contagious, and there is no good treatment yet!

Bai Lanzhi said: "Miss Yiqing, I don't know why you mentioned this leprosy parlor, I advise you to go back early!" My father said that the rules of the leprosy village are that you can only enter and not leave...... So, you might as well forget about the leprosy village! ”

Yi Qing thought that this disease had already had a huge shadow in the hearts of the Chinese people, so she asked cautiously, "What if I can cure this disease?" ”

Everyone had expressions of disbelief, and the bunting said: "Miss, the bunting has promised you everything else, but I want to stop you from leprosy!" It's too dangerous...... If you can't get it, you'll be locked up for the rest of your life! With that, the eyes of the distress call for help were aimed at Yilan and Bai Lanzhi, trying to persuade them to go back collectively.

Yi Qing emphasized again: "I didn't lie to you! I can really cure it! I just want to ask how someone will approve our contact with leprosy patients and treat them......"

Bai Lanzhi sighed and said, "There is no good way, unless it is ordered by the chief doctor of the Tai Hospital...... But even that is impossible! Even if you cure lepers, no one wants to come into contact with them! ”

"What if I secretly give them medicine?" Yi Qing asked, "So you don't have to go through such complicated procedures, right?" ”

"It's useless, we're afraid of lepers, but they're also afraid of us...... The official lord will give them relief food every month, and they don't even touch the things given by other people, after all, there are too many people in reality who want them to die......"

There are many home remedies for leprosy, such as drinking snake soup, fried scorpions, etc., but the effect is very unsatisfactory.

With the deepening of research in later generations, due to the development of leprosy clinical medicine and bacteriology, scientists have found that the spread of leprosy may be caused by broken skin or mucous membranes coming into contact with skin or mucous membranes containing leprosy bacilli. It may also be that droplets and droplets from leprosy patients cough and sneeze and enter the body through the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract of healthy people.

It was not until 1940, and it was in an extremely fortuitous event, that leprosy patients heard the original gospel - dapsone was originally intended to be used to treat tuberculosis, but it did not have much effect, but it happened to be found to have a curative effect on leprosy! Later, after a number of special drugs for leprosy, such as "chlorbenzene" and "rifampicin", came out one after another, which made the prevention and treatment strategy of leprosy realize a fundamental change from single drug treatment to combined chemotherapy, and from isolation prevention and treatment to social prevention and control.

Leprosy can be treated!

Yi Qing recalled the history of blood and tears in the struggle between human civilization and leprosy, the terrifying and mutilated appearance of leprosy patients, and the people who were abandoned...... I was very emotional in my heart - even if it wasn't to help me restore my appearance, I sincerely wanted to help these poor people!
