"Hahahaha!"

A strange giggle startled Xiaoyu, and he turned his head to see an old lady with gray hair, sitting under the eaves, smirking at himself and the guests. Her laughter was strange, out of breath, and her body was shaking violently, even though she was laughing..... But his eyebrows were full of sorrow, and his eyes were still full of tears.

"Yingzi, what are you doing? Hurry up and take your grandmother back! I'm scared of the guests!" the vendor of the food stall shouted at the door of the house as he was busy.

"Got it!" a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old ran out of the house, picked up the old lady, and carried her back to the house.

"Gou San'er, what's the ..... Your mother is sick with this, too?" asked a guest who was picking his teeth with a toothpick.

"Ahem, what's strange about this, it's not just us......" The hawker looked helpless.

His words aroused Xiaoyu's curiosity, so he asked the hawker stall owner: "Big brother, what kind of disease does the old man have?

The hawker owner looked embarrassed, wanted to explain something, but didn't know where to start, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Please ....... in vain."

"I say this brother, listen to your accent..... It's a foreigner, let me tell you what's going on?" The guest who picked his teeth wiped his grease stained mouth and said: "This disease, called laughing epilepsy, is a strange disease unique to Niushou Village, and among more than 100 households, there are always one or two of them, which is not unusual. ”

"Oh, laughing epilepsy, what do you say?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

The guest clicked his lips and said, "It's this person, an inexplicable old man who loves to laugh, laughs during the day, laughs at night, and laughs when he sleeps, nothing at first, and the more serious it gets...... In the end, I couldn't laugh anymore, and it was almost ...... You know. Ahem, if you want to talk about the way of this world..... Which village doesn't have a bad problem? Compared to Fufeng Town, our Niushou Village is a blessed land. ”

"That's it!" The stall owner's mother-in-law, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on the side and helping to help, also muttered: "In this life, how can you also die, laughing to death is better than crying to death!"

"Hahahaha! My sister-in-law is right, that's the truth! If I want to choose a way to die, I also choose to die laughing, especially ..... Laughing to death in my sister-in-law's arms!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Huh~~!"

"Yo~~!"

.....

The crowd burst into laughter, whistles, and a cheerful air!

The hawker owner is honest, and when someone flirts with his wife, he is not angry, he shakes his head and smiles bitterly and continues to work! But his mother-in-law was blushing with shame.

They giggled, talked and laughed, but Xiaoyu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought......

Because the business is good, the roast lamb leg has to wait a little longer, the cut pork head meat is served first, and the braised pork face mixed with green onion sesame oil is more fragrant and fragrant, and the color is also attractive!

Sima Yang didn't listen to what Xiaoyu and they were talking about..... I was still deeply immersed in the thinking of the strange case of the demon bones, and when I saw that the food was served, I coughed and sighed, and I picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat!

"Click!"

Xiaoyu grabbed Sima Yang's chopsticks with chopsticks and stopped him, so that Sima Yang was stunned, I don't know what the other party meant?

"Oh..... Brother Zhu, I'm sorry, please first!" Sima Yang looked embarrassed.

Xiaoyu shook his head solemnly, Sima Yang tasted it at this time, it turned out to be ..... Brother Zhu didn't let himself eat this meat!

Could it be that there is something wrong with this meat? Sima Yang was confused and puzzled.

"Brother Zhu?"

"Brother Sima, let's eat bread and meat first...... Save it for the evening," Xiaoyu muttered.

The communication between smart people doesn't need too much explanation! Even if Sima Yang wants to eat this fragrant braised pig face again, he has to endure it! Although he doesn't know why, Brother Zhu is a master, and since he said that he can't eat it, then he must have his reason!

To say that Xiaoyu has just arrived, he doesn't know much about this demon-infested ancient world, so why did he conclude that this meat can't be eaten? Of course he has his own thoughts!

Just now...... The old lady's performance, as well as the guest's explanation, caused Xiaoyu to reflect deeply, and he seriously doubted it...... The stall owner's mother contracted the Kuru disease, also known as "laughing disease", which was once prevalent in Papua New Guinea!

This disease is very terrible! The mortality rate is 100 percent! There is no cure! But the most terrible thing is not the death of laughter itself, but the ..... The cause of the disease is caused by a guy called a pion.

Prions, strictly speaking, are not viruses because there is no nucleic acid genetic material, which is equivalent to ...... The bug produced by the "tertiary structure" in the process of protein transcription has magically appeared, specifically attacking the cranial nerves! Its lethality is comparable to that of rabies.

And prions are produced..... It is closely related to cannibalism!

Xiaoyu majored in biochemistry in college, and she still has a good understanding of the "accumulated crimes" of prions!

In the past, after the British had killed cattle, some parts that could not be sold were ground into flour and then made into cattle feed to feed to cattle, which suddenly caused mad cow disease...... The brain rotted like cotton wool. And if people eat this kind of beef, they will also produce the same symptoms! This is the "masterpiece" of the cattle "prion"!

Zombie deer, mad sheep, all of them! People eat their flesh and have the same symptoms!

Also, intriguingly...... The prions produced by cannibalism of different species have certain differences, although they all invade the brain, but the symptoms are not the same, and the clinical response of people eating their meat is not exactly the same.

And as the most terrible human cannibalism...... The prion that she got was laughing and laughing! Her limbs were numb and stiff, and she laughed until she died of respiratory failure! The old lady just now had a smile on her face, but there was an extremely painful look between her eyebrows, which can be imagined...... What a torment her soul endured!

In the 70s of the last century, the American Gaydusek went deep into Papua New Guinea to study the so-called "Kuru disease", which was discovered after a series of investigations...... The real reason for the onset of the disease is precisely because they have the habit of eating and burying.

When a loved one dies, the local aborigines will eat the loved one, thus getting Kuru disease, and the burial is ..... It is often women who play the role of "funeral" (in order to complete the cycle of life.....)! All of the people who get sick are women!

It was because of the discovery of prions, Gaydušek, that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976!

It seems to be in the dark...... The Creator has set the "Heavenly Way," that is, to prohibit cannibalism! Once this "genetic law" is violated, there will be retribution.

From this principle...... Yue Fei's so-called "ambition to eat Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood" is really undesirable, maybe...... Will put himself in it.

But..... This prion, even in the process of cannibalism, is not produced by every individual, as the guest said..... There will always be one or two of the hundred or ten households, which is not unusual...... The man-eating maniac, Zhu Cang, didn't say that he had Kuru disease.

Xiaoyu traveled back to ancient China, and did not travel to Papua New Guinea...... There are no cultural differences. It is even more unlikely that the people here will have that kind of primitive and barbaric customs. Why..... Can you get this disease?

But even if pigs eat pigs and sheep eat sheep, shouldn't they get "laughing disease"? The types of prions are different!

So..... Are they really cannibalistic? Underneath their cheerful and open-minded appearances, they are all "wolves in human skin"? Merchants who come and go, after getting drunk and staying, become ......?

This village is quite wealthy, and as I saw along the way, every family had herds of pigs and sheep, so I couldn't do that! So what's the problem?

With Brother Zhu's suggestion, Sima Yang naturally didn't dare to ignore it, and obediently nibbled on cakes and drank rice wine with Xiaoyu, .....which was not bad! Let Xiaoyu teach the reason.

And Xiaoyu at this moment is also brain-opening, thinking wildly, reasoning about various possibilities!

As he chewed the bread, he got up and walked to the hanging sheep that had been chopped up and had only a skeleton left, looked at it repeatedly, and then ..... I came to the cage again and looked at the sheep that were locked inside.

To say that those sheep also seem to be quite spiritual, knowing that they will die sooner or later, they bleating sadly, and faint tears can be seen in the tear trough...... Even the dogs in the other cages were the same, wilting, with a sad and desperate look on their faces, and whimpering from time to time.

After simply filling his stomach, Sima Yang packed braised pork and two leg of mutton, with a light rain..... A clean room was booked in the only inn in the village, and the two of them went into the house to rest, preparing to return to Fufeng Town at night and hunt the ghost fairy!

At this moment, there was no one around, Sima Yang couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked Xiaoyu: "Brother Zhu, is it ..... This meat is poisonous? But I saw that other people had eaten it, and it was all right!"

Xiaoyu sighed slightly and groaned: "Poison is not terrible, what is terrible is the human heart!"

"People's hearts, Brother Zhu, what do you mean by this? Please give me advice!" Sima Yang was stunned, he wanted to know the answer too much, and he gave Xiaoyu a deep look.

Xiaoyu thought for a moment and opened the kraft paper bag...... The two roast lamb legs sprinkled with salt and pepper noodles exude the aroma of "seducting the soul and killing the soul", overflowing the room with the aroma of barbecue!

"Brother Sima, you have a profound Taoism, can you see the mystery in this meat?" Xiaoyu muttered.

"Xuanji?" Sima Yang moved closer and stared at the two legs of mutton with a frown.
