Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 403 What the gods left behind?
Instead of using poverty to describe the predicament at that time, it is better to use the word "life and death" to describe it more appropriately.

Taboo, may lead to death.

Hunger and poverty will definitely kill people.

Therefore, when Uncle Zhang finished speaking, Wang Chen understood the implication of his words.

"You mean that there were people who couldn't bear the hunger and had no choice but to run into the mountains in search of food at the risk of being cursed?"

Uncle Zhang nodded: "Yes, as I said just now, there was no harvest that year. In the first half of the year, everyone could barely survive by relying on each other's remaining grain.

In the second half of the year, those with food ate food, while those without food ate anything edible, such as tree bark, grass roots, and some even ate soil. "

"Eat dirt..." Yao Ruyi almost laughed out loud after hearing these two words.

Nowadays, there is a popular saying about eating dirt, which means that if you are extremely poor, you have to make a living by eating dirt.

At this time, saying this is just to describe a poor person, which is actually an exaggeration.

But in that era, it really happened.

Uncle Zhang ignored Yao Ruyi's words and continued: "After the most difficult year, from sowing to the crops growing up in the second year, there was a lot of rain. Plus the river that entered the village at that time, It can also lead to the fields, making everyone full of hope for the new year.

However, there is still more than half a year until the autumn harvest. How should everyone suffer during that half a year?
At that time, someone proposed to go hunting in the mountains. At that time, the old people in the village came out to stop them, fearing that many people would be killed or injured due to going into the mountains again.

However, when people are hungry to a certain extent, how can they care about that? Some young and middle-aged people just went into the mountains with hatchets and other things without any care.

The first time they entered the mountain, only one person was injured, and they brought back a lot of prey.

The people in the village gradually weakened their fear of the curse. However, just when they relaxed their vigilance and entered the mountain for the second time, something happened again.

I remember that time, a total of thirteen people went into the mountain, and only seven came back alive in the end. The rest either fell into the muddy swamp and never came up again.

Or they would be mauled to death by wild beasts and become prey in their bellies.And the seven people who came back,
In the next month, accidents happened one after another. When they finally died, they were all without injuries or poisoning, as if they died in their sleep. "

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang sighed: "After what happened, the topic of the curse spread throughout the village again, and it also cast a haze of fear in the village."

"Didn't they find a doctor to check them at that time?" Wang Chen asked.

"Several doctors came here, but no cause of the disease could be found after examination. As you know, medical care was very backward in that era. People in big hospitals couldn't afford to hire people, and people in small hospitals didn't have the ability.

So in the end it was settled, but at that time, the situation in our village also attracted the attention of many people outside.

Maybe too many people died, which also attracted the attention of the officials. Not long after, they sent us some food and helped us carry it until the autumn harvest that year. "

Uncle Zhang paused for a moment and then said: "However, the curse did not end with this.

In the 80s, there was a wave of overthrowing feudal superstition here. Officials took the lead in coming here and openly went into the mountains to prove that there was no so-called curse.

But when we went in, the people were strong and the horses were strong, but when we came out, they were all wilted. We don’t know how many people died, but it is said that they died one after another after returning, which also caused quite a sensation. Woolen cloth. "

Wang Chen thought for a moment and said, "Is it really a curse?"

"In the eyes of people in our village, it is a curse. There are evil spirits in the mountains. We don't know where the evil spirits come from, but they will definitely kill people."

Uncle Zhang looked at Wang Chen: "I know that you can't understand and are unwilling to accept this, but the bloody lessons are right in front of you.

In the following ten years, few people went into the mountains, but as time went by, people gradually forgot those lessons. In the 90s, some young people in the village said they went into the mountains to hunt game for barbecue. In the end, they failed to eat the barbecue and were treated as dinner by the wild beasts.

About four or five years ago, there was a group of people who called themselves travel friends. Eight people walked in, and three people came out lying down. Two of them are still buried under the cliff south of our village. "

Hearing this, Wang Chen asked: "So it was because of the successive incidents in the mountains that the young people in your village chose to leave the mountains one after another in the past few years?"

Uncle Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, because some left and some died after entering the mountains a few years ago, there are fewer and fewer young people in our village now.

To be not pessimistic, maybe in a few years, or more than ten years, after all of us elderly people die, this village will be completely deserted. "

When Uncle Zhang said this, his face was full of mourning.

Although he is not pessimistic, this current situation is extremely sad and deplorable.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, in the past few years, there have been many situations like Golin Village in China.

Although people from other villages did not leave the countryside because of curses or anything like that.

However, in many villages, many people do move away every year.

Gradually, only the elderly are left in many villages.

If this situation continues, what Uncle Zhang said may really happen.

That is, in a few years, or more than ten years, as the old people who guard the villages slowly die, there will be many, many empty villages in the country.

In fact, rural areas are the real foundation of any country.

When most villages gradually become empty, many big problems will inevitably arise.

Of course, these are not things that little farts like Wang Chen think about.

Wang Chen first sighed at the current situation in Gorin Village, and then said: "The reason why those people died has one thing in common, that is, they have all gone into the mountains, right?"

Uncle Zhang nodded: "Yes, that's why I said that even if Dr. Yao and the others cure the injury and detoxify the snake, their lives are still in danger."

Before he told it, Wang Chen and Yao Ruyi sneered at what Uncle Zhang said and disapproved of it.

But at this moment, they felt some depression in their hearts.

Bloody lessons and living examples are all in front of you.

Even if they don't want to believe it, they still have to accept it and face it.

Seeing Wang Chen and Yao Ruyi both lost in thought, Uncle Zhang shook his head, stood up and handed over a cowhide bag he had been holding, and said: "Unknowingly, I have talked to you so much.

It's getting late now, so you should take a rest quickly. After I go out, I will arrange for everyone outside to go back to their homes. We will discuss these things again when it gets dawn tomorrow. "

Looking at the cowhide bag he handed over, Wang Chen asked, "What is this?"

Uncle Zhang's eyes flashed slightly: "This is what my father got from that dry well. He said that this thing should be left by the gods. Now I give these to you, hoping that it can bless you kind-hearted children." Bar!"
