Chapter 1064 Abandonment and death
Ling Juechen gently touched her. Gu Ye choked and said, “Don’t stop me. I just want to do something for them.”
Ling Juechen embraced her with one hand and said softly: “Little fool. I’m not stopping you. Do whatever you want. I will always be behind you to support you. I’m not willing to make you sad…”
Gu Ye sniffed and looked at the people in the cave. They didn’t seem to understand her. Also, wheelchairs and artificial limbs, let alone them, may not be understood by people outside.
She said to her grandmother: “The conditions here are too simple to perform surgery on Zoya and the others. If you can trust me, follow me down the mountain! By the way, are there other people around here? If there is, it is best to be able to Advise them to leave here. Otherwise, people like you will show up.”
The old woman’s guard is not so serious anymore. She sighed and said: “Our disease can really be cured? Isn’t it the curse of the plague god, nor is it a human face plague that can spread to people?”
Seeing Gu Ye nodding her head, her face seemed to cry like a smile: “More than 1,200 villagers in the village of Agang have died unjustly! If there was a doctor like you at that time, they would not have to die in vain! There are also those who were born at birth Abandoned, drowned child…oooooooo…”
The old woman burst into tears. At that time, the dog official ordered the slaughter of the village. If she weren’t an old woman, she would be dying, and she would go back to her natal home to wait for her for the last time. Like her father-in-law, uncle and her man, she was slaughtered and burned to dry bones.
At that time, if it weren’t for her on the way back, she picked up some playful children who secretly went to the mountain to dig out the birds and eggs, and maybe sad, they would also follow the family. A family of thirteen, except for the most naughty nephew of the uncle’s family, none of them survived!
The old woman’s hair was mostly white, and the wrinkles on her face resembled the deep ravines in this mountain. She looked like an old man in her sixties or seventies, but in fact, she was only under fifty. When the village had an accident, she was just like Zoya and Zhuoma, a 17-year-old girl.
In order to pull the eight children in the village, she struggled to survive in this mountain. Day and night collecting mountain vegetables and wild fruits, planting seeds in the mountains, digging traps to catch prey… After experiencing such cruel facts, those children ranging from eight to ten years old seem to have grown up suddenly. .
The old lady took the children and grew up like this. They chose a mountain depression about thirty miles away from the mountain village and built a small village. The children are all good hunters. In addition to helping the old lady plant and gather, they also form a hunting team, which is often rewarding.
The village is located deep in the mountains, and because of the legend of Ayong Village, few people come and go. The wasteland they opened was not registered in the government, and there was no need to pay heavy taxes. Coupled with the money for hunting and picking goods down the mountain, the children quickly bought daughters-in-law from poor mountain villages.
The first tumor was found on Granny’s body, which is also the biggest tumor on her body now, more than 20 years ago. She suspected that she had contracted the same disease as many people in the cottage—a disease designated by the government and the world as a human face disease.
I was afraid of children raised by myself, and their wives and children. He secretly left the small village and came to live alone in this cave. At the beginning, she was able to pull up to eight children and support herself by herself.
She thought that if she left, bad luck would not entangle the children she raised as sons. However, God did not let the poor children go. The next generation they give birth to is like being cursed, an abnormality will appear every few years.
Most of these children, because of the “human face plague” legend, were reluctantly abandoned by their parents at birth. The old lady clearly remembered the little corpse she saw when she went out to gather wild vegetables. The deformed little body shows a stiff purple color, and the small mouth is long, as if crying about the tragic fate…
The old woman was afraid that the child’s body would be ruined by wild animals, so she buried him. After that, she often wandered around there. Twenty years later, she has picked up no fewer than ten children. Some children are too weak and will be gone soon. There is no doctor in the mountains, lack of clothing and medicine, only the children Zoya, Canglang, and Gelu can survive…
She also secretly returned to the small village to see it. In addition to being abandoned, there are also those who were drowned in their lives… Now someone told her that these children were just sick for some reason, and that the disease would not pass to others, let alone a human face disease. How can she not feel sorry for these little lives?
“Grandma, don’t cry. It’s not too late to know this now! At least in the future there will be people like us who will not be feared and abandoned by our parents…” Like Grandma, the tumor on his face is seven or eight. It only started to grow when it was 10 years old. When he was young, he also enjoyed the care of his parents and experienced a painful parting…
“Grandma, Canglang, are you there? Abba and I hunted a roe deer, and Abba asked me to send you half. I also gave you some salt. It’s hot. If you can’t finish eating the deer, you can pickle the deer. Come on. Zoya, your mother polished half a bag of white flour and asked me to send it to you!” A young voice faintly heard outside.
Contacted with Gu Ye’s doubtful eyes, Chang Lang rubbed his red eyes, a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and said, “It’s my brother! Since knowing that I was taken in by my grandmother, he has always carried his home behind his back. Give us something.
At that time, we all thought that I had a human face disease. I was afraid of giving it to him. I scolded it and asked and begged, but he insisted on sending it over, giving it away for eight years. After Aba and Ama knew, she seemed to have acquiesced. Zoya’s grandmother, knowing that the two daughters she threw away will grow up safely, she will also send dried vegetables and grain.
Grandma is old and not very good. If there are no villagers who bring us something from time to time, it will be difficult to raise us safely. Now, Zoya and I are both older, and we can help with work, and we won’t let people from the village send anything, but Brother just doesn’t listen.
I am also worried that he will be passed on. Listening to the little genius doctor today, I can finally relax my mind——Brother, wait! I have something to tell you! ——I want to tell the villagers this good news. Let them stop worrying about the curse of the plague god, it is all invisible! ”
After speaking, Cang Lang happily left the cave. Gu Ye took her husband’s hand and walked out.
Not far away, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, dark-skinned youth, with a bright smile, looked at the changlang who came out. His eyes touched Gu Ye and Ling Juechen who were wearing strange clothes, and the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.
The young man walked over quickly, ignoring his brother’s illness. He pulled him behind him, looked at the couple warily, and asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Cang Lang lowered his head and glanced at Brother, pulling his hand, his mouth trembling slightly. The thing that his illness will not be passed on to others, Brother doesn’t know yet. When he was in danger, the way he stood in front of him reminded him of encountering a snake on the mountain when he was a child, and Brother did not hesitate to stand in front of him.
He was expelled by the whole village. Abba had to endure the grief and took him to the mountain and threw him away. I heard that brother had been crying for him for many days, until grandma told him about her, and then stopped searching. It is Brother, who has always made up for his desire for family affection.
“Brother! They are not bad guys. They dress like this because there are things that can make people sick near the old cottage. That thing is invisible and intangible, and it has a wide range of influence. People in our stockade are sick because of that thing. ……” Cang Lang held back his tears and explained for Gu Ye and the others.
Brother still looked at Gu Ye and them guardedly, and turned his head and said to his brother: “Canglang, you rarely go down the mountain, maybe you don’t know clearly. The Han people under the mountain have a lot of eyes. What they say cannot be easily believed.”
“Brother, they said that our situation is sick, not the curse of the plague god, nor is it a human face plague. Our disease has a chance to be cured!” Chang Lang is anxious to share the good news with Brother Humph! They want to trick you down the mountain, so they pick up what you want to hear. When you get to the bottom of the mountain, they are all their people, don’t you want to let them at their mercy? Changlang, don’t believe their words. “Brother don’t believe that strangers will be right for no reason. If the brother’s strange disease can really be cured, then Ayong cottage will not be the last…
Cang Lang gently pulled Brother La’s hand, and when he looked over, he met his eyes and said: “Brother. Let’s assume that they are lying to me. Look at my face, they What benefits can you get from me? Don’t be afraid that I’m really a human face plague, give it to them?
Brother looked at his brother’s weird and terrible face. Even if he is used to seeing him, if his brother suddenly appears in front of him, his heart will still beat violently. Yes, if they are a liar, what are they doing?
Could it be… this young couple can really cure the younger brother’s illness?
Cang Lang continued to speak for the two of them: “Brother, they said, they can help our village move to another mountain. If you continue to live in this neighborhood, the next generation in the village, brother, your future child, Someone may be like me and Zoya. Are there fewer children lost in the village these years? Don’t you want to break this so-called’curse’?”
Hearing this, my brother said excitedly: “You mean, it’s not our village’s problem, let alone the ancestors who angered the plague god, but the cause of this mountain, that caused people like you to appear frequently in our village?”
Cang Lang nodded. Brother’s tears came down immediately: “If our fathers chose to live far away, you wouldn’t be like this, brother… How beautiful you were when you were a kid! You are recognized as the most beautiful child in the village. Sensible. If…”
