Ah Sha asked someone to quickly boil hot water, and then he went to each girl's room himself, took off their clothes, and inspected them carefully, top to bottom, inside and out.
She also wore several layers of soft cotton cloth to cover her mouth, nose, and ears. She carefully inspected Qingping, who was already isolated in the room, and burned the cloths as soon as she left the room.
After the hot water came, A-Shame forced everyone in the yard to use the hottest temperature to scald their entire bodies inside and out. The women supervised the women, and the young men supervised the young men. Nothing was allowed to be missed.
In addition, A-Shame also took out all the used bedding and clothes in the yard, threw them into Xiaodou's room, covered his mouth and nose with cotton cloth, and lit a fire.
Everyone was carrying buckets of water in case the fire spread to other places.
According to Ah Sha, the whole room can't be taken anymore.
As the person closest to Xiaodou, Qingping is still not sure that she is not in any danger, so it is better to let her stay in a room by herself first.
"Sister, this is..."
Seeing the fire slowly igniting in the entire room, the flames swallowing Xiaodou, the dirty bedding, and all dangerous things, a girl hugged her arms and asked Ah Sha.
"Arbutus sores."
Ah Sha turned around and looked squarely at all those who had doubts, with a serious look on her face, not at all like her usual teasing look.
"What?" Everyone present couldn't believe their ears.
"It was bayberry sores," Ah Sha said. "Everyone knows that Cuihong died of this kind of disease. Some of you must have seen the way she died. It was a scene that is hard to forget. Bar."
Everyone present fell silent.
Some old people do remember how miserable and shocking Cuihong was when she died.
Such a beautiful flower quickly rotted on the bed.
At that time, Cuihong was the envy of everyone. I heard that she had found a high-ranking official to redeem herself. The high-ranking official could also help Cuihong solve the problem of her low status. From then on, she became a big official. The official lady is no longer Cuihong, the prostitute in Dingzhou brothel.
This body will be pure and clean from now on.
But I don't know why, I don't know what went wrong, Cuihong contracted this strange disease.
At the beginning of the disease, only small red rashes appear in hidden parts. People who are infected don't take it seriously and just pretend they don't see it. Those who are more particular will apply some ointment.
No one knew that this disease would eventually cause the entire person to rot like an orange.
After the red rash, you will have a high fever, and it will itch all over your body. It will be so itchy that you can't sleep at all. You just feel that there are little ants crawling around in the bones. You want to peel off the skin and take a look to remove the little bugs that are causing trouble in the bones and flesh. Catch it.
Later on, someone had to tie Cui Hong's hands to stop her from scratching her own flesh, otherwise she would keep scratching until her head was broken and bleeding, and she wouldn't stop.
But her illness was so frightening that no one dared to serve her.
People who know what happened between Cuihong and Ah Sha also know that it is impossible to find Ah Sha, the nominal daughter, to serve Cui Hong and help her treat her illness.
They found the real daughter who was treasured by Cuihong in the house, and somehow managed to pull her over.
But when the little girl came to the Cuihong bed and saw her miserable appearance, she actually vomited and fainted faster than her mother.
At that time, Cuihong was still conscious. Although she had been preventing them from finding her daughter, A-Shame clearly saw that the moment her daughter came in, Cuihong's whole body lit up and she mustered up her energy to have a few words with her daughter.
Even the oiran has a passionate love for his daughter.
But after the daughter woke up, she didn't ask her mother a word, nor did she drink the water they handed her. Her disgust was beyond words. She frowned and sat in the room, her butt just touching the edge of the chair. , as if ready to escape at any time.
This is her first time entering this place.
One look at her appearance and it was clear that she could not be expected to take care of Cuihong.
If your dear daughter doesn’t come to serve you, how can you expect anyone else?
Soon Cuihong was thrown into the firewood shed to fend for herself. The courtesan who was once a hit in the brothel did not even have decent clothes when she died.
After death, they were quickly wrapped in straw mats and thrown into mass graves.
Nobody cares.
No one knew that on the last night before Cuihong's death, A-Shame found a long wooden spoon and fed her a bowl of water through the curtain.
Until Cuihong died, she thought it was her biological daughter who came to take care of her. She lay on the bed and said many, many words while enduring the pain.
Ah Sha listened silently to her final instructions, and just gave water to the thirsty Cui Hong to moisten her smoking throat, as if they were a real mother and daughter.
Cui Hong's death was indeed horrific, but the truly terrifying thing had just begun.
After Cuihong, an unknown plague began to spread throughout the brothel and even the entire Dingzhou.
Doctors have never heard of this plague. No medicine has any effect on this plague. They can't find its name in any medical books. They don't know where it came from, and they don't know why it suddenly and quietly left Ding. state.
Suffering from this inexplicable plague, nearly 30% of the population in Dingzhou died due to bayberry sores.
The world was in panic, and the powerful men and women were preparing to move their families and leave Dingzhou City.
If someone is lucky enough to survive, those who recover will have black sores on their bodies that are the size of bayberries and are very similar in color and appearance to bayberries, so people give it the name bayberry sores.
When bayberry sores appeared in brothels, people believed that it was a kind of internal disease. Only people who stayed in brothels or went to brothels would be infected with this internal disease. People at that time were very repulsive to the existence of brothels.
The floors where the prostitutes passed by in the brothel would be cleaned again with disdain. No doctor was willing to treat the prostitutes, and no one was willing to sell food and clothes to these prostitutes.
It can be said that the prostitutes during that period were beaten by everyone.
It wasn't until things calmed down that their business slowly picked up again.
Now, Bayberry has returned to Dingzhou City just after the earthquake, and has returned to them.
Before there was no earthquake, they would all be shouting and killing each other. Those people rushed into the building with red eyes and gritted their teeth, smashing things, and even fought with them, as if they wanted to eat them.
There is still an earthquake in Dingzhou, which is already a troubled time. If it is revealed that they have bayberry sores again...
Everyone shuddered, as if they expected to be eaten alive by the entire Dingzhou City.
"Starting from today, we can no longer receive guests." Ah Sha said sternly, "No one is allowed to go out.
"Sisters, if we really get this bayberry sore, that's all. This is fate and it's ours.
"But we can't go out now. If we take Yangmei out... the whole people in Dingzhou will be in danger.
"There are still aftershocks outside, and many people are still buried under the rubble and have not been dug out. The city already lacks medical care. We can't go out and cause trouble anymore."
"Then what if we die here?" Some people were worried about their safety. "We don't have much food left in the yard, right? If we don't have anything to eat, wouldn't we be starving to death if we stay in this ghost yard? !”
"There has to be a way."
"Why don't we just let a few people go out to buy food."
"Yes, yes, anyway, we all received guests yesterday. If so, will their guests be spared?"
"Why don't we tell the government! Let the government come!"
"Yes, even if you really have this disease, you have to tell the outside world and let them be careful!"
Everyone put forward their own opinions, but no one proposed to escape. Everyone was thinking about how to survive and how to inform the outside world about the reappearance of bayberry in Dingzhou.
Ah Sha looked at the women in front of her, holding their arms and shivering in the cold wind. There was a sour breath in her nose, and the corners of her eyes slowly became moist, "Yes, they all said that we are ruthless and unjust. Today, it seems that We need to be good women with love and righteousness.
"No one is born to be a prostitute. If everyone joins a good family, we will be good women!"
Hahahahaha.
Everyone pushed me and laughed together.
The sun rises, and the warm morning sun slowly shines into this small courtyard, caressing everyone's hair and skin.
Wow, second update! Personally, I think it's quite fat, hahaha (), I'm so excited.
The collection goes up and down, up and down, and I don’t know why there are so many at one time and so few at the same time~
I am sure that I am someone who cannot write and post at the same time hahaha. I have to keep the manuscript close by, otherwise my mentality will be very explosive ╮(╯▽╰)╭.
Bayberry sore is roughly based on syphilis, but it is different from syphilis. Some artistic adaptations have been added. Any coincidence is purely accidental.
