Chapter 1960 "Little Red Riding Hood" (1)

When the Black Death spread in Europe, in order to prevent infection, doctors wore waxed linen or canvas, black caps, and silver masks that could filter the air. Their eyes were made of transparent beaks. Protected by glass, the bird's beak is stuffed with herbs, and he wears white gloves in his hands and holds a wooden stick to open the patient's sheets or clothes.

  They always appear in places with plagues, and gradually, people will regard Doctor Bird's Beak as a **** of death.

However, people rarely know what those horrible beak doctors looked like after they took off the clothes. The group of students who looked like children that Georgeanna saw in the cafeteria was their true face. The earliest invention of the beak doctor was. The man in his outfit is a French doctor.

  It's not that this group of boys have never seen a woman, but that there are girls who dare to come to them in Novelty.

  In addition to the school built in the tomb, there is also a church nearby, and there is an isolation ward for lepers next to the church. In the Middle Ages, leprosy was very popular. Later, as more people died from the Black Death, the population decreased, wool production increased, people's income increased, and the price of wool fabrics decreased, so everyone could buy more tight fabric coverings. In this way, the leprosy spread through contact with his own body gradually disappeared in the European continent, replaced by Scandinavia, which became an endemic disease. And as the lepers emptied, the "hospital" was filled with mental patients.

  In the past, these were all under the management of the church. The priest lived in St. Vincent’s Church. St. Martin was the patron saint of all the wanderers, and St. Vincent was the patron saint of the charity. Isolation must of course choose a place isolated from the world. In the 14th century, the black death caused people to sum up their experience. Miasma can spread the plague. Isolation is also considered an effective means of epidemic prevention. The Death Island in Venice is an example.

  In some places, the **** of death is holding a sickle, meaning the harvester of the soul. In Brittany, Ankou will drive a cart with horse-drawn horses to hunt the souls of the sick and the dying in various villages. When his cart is full, it will give the captured prey to him. Anko, the king of the underworld, only appears when the day is over and the night is dark, so people believe that they can escape death by leaving their home during the day.

Villagers in the "Sage’s Hometown" Yam village blocked the plague in Derbyshire in north-central England, and did not allow it to continue to spread north. At that time, the first objection to the evacuation was the priest William. If they stay in the village, perhaps It can prevent the plague from spreading to the remaining half of Britain.

For those pagan carvings, the priest of St. Vincent chose to ignore them, and as long as they don’t understand these, they don’t understand what they represent by seeing the skeletons, shovel, and sickle. It’s not surprising that there are skull decorations in the church. Milan still has personal bones. church. There is a weird legend. Every year on November 2nd, there will be a little girl's soul on the altar leading all the skeletons to dance the skeleton dance. The skeletons in the Human Skeleton Church were piled from the ground to the ceiling. They looked dense and spectacular. Leon planned to use this to scare her.

  Georgina is really afraid of this in the skeleton singing and dancing show? Later, he stopped trying to scare her with ghosts.

  November 1st is Halloween, and November 2nd is Day of Remembrance of the Dead, also called the Day of All Souls. She forgot about it.

  She understands that even if the university is not like Oxford and Cambridge, it should have spacious and bright classrooms, or it should be sunny, with football fields and green spaces. As a result, the University of Rouen is full of graveyards and skeletons.

  The crow hovered in the sky and called, and it is still burying people in it.

  The choir's singing sounded in the church. On the Day of All Souls, the church will pray for the dead, which is the holy sacrifice ceremony now held. There is a women’s choir in Rouen, which is very rare. Even though the voices of girls and boys are the same before puberty, most of the choirs are boys. Now those girls are wearing red robes under the command of priests. Sing chants.

  The old tombstones are covered with wild rose vines, covering the inscriptions washed out by rain and making it impossible to identify the owner of the tomb.

  It's autumn, and the wild rose is not blooming. If it is in bloom, then this place will be a "paradise" for Gothic lovers.

Georgiana took out Gao Nayi’s notes and compared them with the names of the victims, but she felt that it might be an impossible task. This huge cemetery has been buried since the 13th century, even if Rouen is not Paris. Such a big city can't be seen at a glance, but the sky is covered with dark clouds, and it looks like it is going to rain again.

   "Let's go back, madam!" Marguerite shouted from the edge of the grave.

  She glanced at Filiel and Figl, they were both looking at her.

   "Let's go." Georgiana put the report in her jacket pocket, then turned and left.

  She felt it was necessary to investigate carefully, but the investigator was not her, but the Auror of the French Ministry of Magic.

However, just as she was about to leave the cemetery, there was a crisp sound of breaking branches from the woods not far away. She followed the sound and found that it was a child wearing a red cloak, or a child in red. pass.

  She quickly followed, but she disappeared. This deciduous forest was full of discolored dead leaves. It looked beautiful and dangerous. It reminded her of the story of Little Red Riding Hood in Grimm's fairy tales.

  One day, my mother said to Little Red Riding Hood, “Here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. I will send it to grandma. Grandma is sick. If you eat these, you will be better.”

  So Little Red Riding Hood took a shortcut to grandma's house while it was still dark.

  She felt that the cake could actually be replaced with apple pie, and now she could smell the sweet smell.

   "I'll chase her." Figl ran over and said, as if she had also seen the child in red.

   "No, let's go." The police said she felt.

   "What about the kid?" Figl asked.

   "Tell the locals and let them see if they have lost any children." Georgiana said coldly, "While it's not dark, let's go back to Rouen."

  Figel glanced at the direction where the girl disappeared, and followed Georgiana to leave. She did not condemn Georgiana as a lack of sympathy.

  A kind-hearted woman should follow this situation to find and protect the child.

  Before boarding the carriage, she looked up at the sky, only seeing the crow hovering, and then she got in the carriage.

   Soon Felier and Margaret also got on the car, the coachman flicked the reins, and the pure-blooded horse-drawn car quickly galloped.

  She leaned against the window and looked at the church going away. Maybe, the kid just now was actually in the choir, although she didn't know why she hid in sight.

  In fact, this time she came to the University of Rouen to be considered a worthwhile trip. These "beak doctors" not only treated people but also treated animals. There are many things that were taken for granted in the 20th century, but not so much in the 19th century, such as milk. They believed that many infectious diseases were spread through milk.

Georgiana is not familiar with animals, but she knows that bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease, especially for children with weak resistance. Children who drink milk from sick cows will also get tuberculosis. Children will then infect adults and adults. Infect each other. Therefore, the sick cow with bovine tuberculosis not only cannot drink milk, but also destroys its beef. It seems that her plan to add a beautiful pasture to a farm is on hold.

Europeans regard tuberculosis as a romantic, a charming disease that only beauties and geniuses suffer from. Reduced vitality makes people pale, and the flushing caused by a low-grade fever is like natural blush, that kind of sickly tenderness. There seems to be an elegant and unique beauty.

  In contrast, smallpox is hated by people. Even if it gets better, it will leave scars on the face. Even if vaccination can prevent the disease, some people are still unwilling to accept it.

  Georgiana took out Gao Naiyi’s investigation report again. Because there was no evidence to prove that it was a medical student, he began to find out who printed the prints.

  At this time, she thought of the print called "Dance of Death" that was hung on the wall, and the little girl who was said to be dancing on the altar of the Bone Church in Milan.

  Does that little guy dance in red?
