Grasp the farming script in the famous book

From the Middle Ages to modern times, leprosy patients always bear the fate of being expelled, away from society and relatives, and can only spend their lives with their sick friends.

They were ordered to wear gray robes and red hats to distinguish them from "normal people".

They wait day after day for relief, but when they are really forgotten by society, they have nothing to do.

As long as you live in a leprosy village, you will never return.Even if they are healed, the rash is gone, and they can live like good people, they will never be able to return to their loved ones.

Because those small, invisible bacilli have caused irreversible damage to them.The terrible scars on their faces, thick and deformed limbs, and even deformed bodies made them "monsters" in the eyes of the world, creatures detested by God.

Even if there are doctors who dare to declare that they have recovered and will never infect others again—these leprosy patients in the past will never go back.

Therefore, upon hearing George's words, the old man with a cloth covering his face was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Hearing the movement, people gradually walked out of the stone house supporting each other.Most of them wore gray robes, some covered their faces and some didn't—Roland guessed that they decided whether to cover their faces or not based on the degree of damage to their appearance.

"George," said a woman's voice, "is the food coming?"

"You didn't eat anything early in the morning, and you ran to the town, and everyone was worried about you."

George wiped his face, choked up and said, "I'm fine—"

"I fainted when I got to town, and it was the countess who saved me."

People's eyes turned to Roland one after another: This, is it really the Countess, the owner of this territory?

"It was the sage who carried me back, and the sage brought us a doctor."

George points to Heathcliff and Zhivago respectively.

"saint?"

"Is there really a saint in this world?"

The people in Leprosy Village looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe that what happened before them was real.

The saint... came to their leprosy village, how...is it possible?

Hearing this, Roland stepped forward quickly, and said loudly, "Everyone, this is absolutely true. Heathcliff is a 'saint' personally sealed by the Cardinal, and the Holy See will send a commendation order soon... ..."

When she spoke, Heathcliff's usually serious and sad face suddenly showed a very awkward and shy face.

Roland had an idea: Since people in this era so much believe that God will grant them miracles, then they might as well use this mentality to "break the ice" for both parties.

So she nodded and continued, "Master Heathcliff has felt God's calling and is here to help you. This doctor named Zhivago also felt this kind of calling, so he came to our territory from thousands of miles away. superior……"

"The food will be delivered in a while, and there will be no shortage of food for you."

"But before that, the doctor wants to check your physical condition first. Would you like to let him come and see you?"

People looked at each other with shock on their faces.

They couldn't turn this corner in their eagerness: doctor?Why do doctors come to see them?

—These people who have been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Roland hurriedly looked at George.

George immediately said, "It's all true..."

He told the whole story of his experience in the town, and the villagers couldn't help but not believe it.

The old man who first saw George was probably a village chief.He said frankly: "Doctor, since you don't dislike us, we definitely don't dare to dislike you. I... I'll call the whole village out."

Doctor Zhivago nodded and gave Heathcliff a wink.The latter followed George and the village chief to recite all the people with disabilities.

Prince Andrei winked at Roland.The two took this opportunity to look around the leprosy village for a while.

Prince Andrew nodded and said: "Yes!"

The location of this village is very hidden. If George hadn't brought them here, no one would have thought that there was a village here.

There is a dense forest at the entrance of the village, but behind the village there is a small open field with a small river running through it.There is a road beside the river, which seems to flow into another river and flow to Tianshui Town.

"There are carpenters with good skills in this village, and there are also blacksmiths."

Prince Andrei pointed out to Roland some buildings in the village that were obviously built recently, including wooden components, as well as brand new products such as metal hinges and door bolts.

"It seems that more than ten years ago, when leprosy spread in the town, many craftsmen's homes were affected." Roland commented.

"Yes," said Prince Andrei, "who knew it would be wrong. They are just the right people to build a secret workshop."

Seeing Prince Andre's happy face, Roland quickly reminded him: "Don't be too eager. Regarding the construction of the workshop, I will listen to everything else, but please leave it to me to persuade the villagers. Do."

Andre didn't understand: "Why?"

Roland sighed: "First of all, we have to make sure that their physical conditions are suitable for these jobs. In addition, they must be able to accept this job psychologically. After all, what we need them to make are weapons, firearms, and Something that takes life."

"Oh!" Andre responded, but his eyes showed that at least he didn't take the "natives" in this plane seriously like Roland did.

"I have a little more experience in each plane than you," Roland continued to persuade, "My greatest experience is that you must not underestimate the 'natives' in the plane. After entering the plane, you will find that, They are the same characters as us, but they may lack the knowledge accumulated by the predecessors for hundreds of years, but the level of intelligence and understanding will not be weaker than ours."

"indeed so."

Hearing this, Prince Andrei smiled suddenly, remembering the time when he played cards with people when he was in the town.Even knowing that Andre was "the king's spy," sometimes the townspeople could win his money by playing cards.

"It's precisely because of this that we approached them and assured them to entrust this work to them, didn't we?" Andre responded.

Seeing that he convinced Andre first, Roland felt a sense of accomplishment.

Not long after, Dr. Zhivago gave the villagers a general physical examination and a population count by the way.There are 92 people here, men and women.The age ranges from twenty to fifty or sixty.

In this day and age, anyone over fifty can be considered a long-lived person.Compared with Tianshui Town, there are actually more "longevity" people in this village.

The results of the doctor's examination showed that among the 92 people, most of them had recovered from their "leprosy" and were no longer contagious.But other diseases such as malnutrition are more obvious.

Another three or four people are still sick and need treatment.But Doctor Zhivago was prepared for these common diseases of the seventeenth century, and had a way to restore them to health within a few months.

As for the people who visited the leprosy village, there was nothing to worry about.As long as people avoid physical contact with people in the village and clean their clothes in time, they can avoid infection.

Roland and Andre invited all the important people who had recovered from the leprosy village to sit under the big tree in the center of the village, and everyone sat in a circle.

Roland tentatively asked the villagers about their plans for the future.

"Us? What else can we plan?"

The village chief sighed leisurely.

His face was covered with a dense layer of linen, only his eyes were exposed.

But the pair of eyes were sharp, closely following the expressions of Roland, Andre and the others, as if they could see through their minds.

"Countess, today you took good care of George and brought the doctor to visit the village regardless of the danger. We are all very grateful."

"But I think you also understand in your heart that none of us can go back."

Roland recalled what he saw in Sweetwater Town, and recalled people picking up rotten vegetables and stones and throwing them at George... Indeed, the people in the leprosy village would never return to the town, and they would never be like Live like an ordinary person.

"But I noticed that there are many craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship in the village."

Prince Andrey interrupted at this moment, looking very excited and irresistible.

"Everyone, if I am here, build a workshop and invite all craftsmen to work in the workshop. I will provide you with technology and materials, and you only need your physical strength and craftsmanship...Of course, I will pay you a lot of money."

It seems that Andre has forgotten Roland's reminder.

"In this way, you can get enough money to buy everything you need, and you don't have to rely on others, and you don't have to rely on the town to supply you with food. You can even attract farmers to give you priority in sending rice, noodles, fruits and vegetables."

"Oh, there is such a good thing?"

People sitting under the big tree in the center of the village were all excited when they heard the "blueprint" drawn by Andre.

The old village head was not the same, his eyes were old and sharp, and he stared at Andre more sharply.

"Sir, the countess did not introduce your background, but I think you are also a person with status and background."

Andre's identity can be seen from his sitting posture, demeanor, and conversation.

"You promised us everything, you want us to work for you in this small village deep in the foothills, away from the hustle and bustle. What exactly do you want us to do for you?"

The old village head stared at Andre closely, and said slowly: "What you need us to do, I'm afraid it's not a bright business!"

"This--"

Andre suddenly felt that he was suddenly blocked, unable to continue talking.

When he hesitated to talk about that he wanted to build a workshop in this leprosy village to make flintlock guns and ammunition, the old village chief stretched out his hand: "Please don't talk about weapons that hurt people!"

"Although God has abandoned us, we will never abandon God for a little gain."

Even the "natives," even the lepers, retained their own fine judgment and beliefs.

Andre felt desperate for a moment, and quickly turned to Roland.There was a bit of shame in his eyes: Sure enough, he couldn't hold back and rushed to speak before Roland, so he really couldn't convince the people in the village.

Roland shook his head and said calmly, "Old village chief, it's normal for you to have concerns, and it's okay if you don't like it."

She listened attentively to the movement outside the village, and said, "It's them who brought the food, let's go out to meet it."
