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 hats, and silver masks shaped like beaks that could filter the air. Their eyes were made of transparent

Protected by glass, the bird's mouth is stuffed with herbs, and its hands are wearing white gloves and holding a wooden stick, which is used to lift the patient's sheets or clothes.

They always appear in places with plagues, and gradually, people regard Doctor Bird's Beak as the God of Death.

However, people rarely know what those scary Doctor Birds look like after taking off their clothes. The group of students who looked like children that Georgiana saw in the cafeteria are their true faces. It was the first Doctor Birds to be invented.

The person wearing the outfit was a French doctor.

It's not that these boys have never seen women before, but it's strange that a girl dares to come to them.

In addition to the school built in a tomb, there is also a church nearby. Next to the church is an isolation ward for lepers. Leprosy was very popular in the Middle Ages. 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 tighter fabrics to cover their bodies. In this way, leprosy spread through contact gradually disappeared in the European continent and was replaced by

In Scandinavia, it became endemic. As the leprosy patients were cleared out, the "hospitals" were 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 wanderers, and St. Vincent was the patron saint of charitable groups. Of course, isolation must be done in an isolated place. In the 14th century

The Black Death at that time made people learn from experience that miasma can spread plague, and isolation is also considered an effective means of epidemic prevention. The Island of the Dead in Venice is an example.

In some places, the God of Death looks like holding a sickle, which means the reaper of souls. In Brittany, Anko would drive a cart pulled by a bone horse to hunt the souls of the sick and dying in various villages.

When his cart is full, it will deliver the captured prey to Anaon, the king of the underworld. Since Anaon only appears when the day is over and the night is getting dark, people believe that they can escape by leaving their homes during the day.

Live a life of death.

The villagers of Yam Village, the "hometown of sages", blocked the plague in Derbyshire, in the north-central part of England, and prevented it from spreading further to the north. At that time, the first person to object to the evacuation was the priest William. If they had stayed in the village, perhaps

Can prevent the plague from spreading to the remaining half of Britain.

The priest of St. Vincent chose to turn a blind eye to those pagan carvings, and as long as he didn't understand these, he just saw the skull, shovel, and sickle and didn't understand what they represented. It was not surprising that skull decorations appeared in the church. There was also a human skeleton in Milan.

Church. There is a weird legend there. Every year on November 2, the soul of a little girl on the altar will lead all the skeletons to dance the skeleton dance. The skeletons in the Bone Church are piled from the ground to the ceiling.

It looked dense and spectacular, and Leon planned to use this to scare her.

Was Georgiana really afraid of a skeleton cabaret? Later he stopped trying to scare her with ghosts.

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

The university she thought of, even if it was not like Oxbridge, should have spacious and bright classrooms, or be sunny, with football fields and green spaces, but the result was that the University of Rouen was full of cemeteries and skeletons.

The crow is circling in the sky and crows, and it is still burying people inside.

The choir sang in the church. On All Souls' Day, the church would pray for the dead, which is now the Holy Sacrifice ceremony. Rouen has a women's choir, which is very rare, even if girls and boys

The voices were no different before puberty, but most of the choirs were composed of boys. Now the girls wore red robes and sang hymns under the direction of the priest.

Those ancient tombstones were covered with wild rose vines, covering the inscriptions that were washed away by rain and blurred, making it impossible to identify the owner of the tomb.

It is autumn now, and the wild roses are not in bloom. If it were the season when they were in full bloom, this place would be a "paradise" for Gothic lovers.

Georgiana took out Corneille's notes and compared them with the names of the victims, but she felt that it might be an impossible task. This huge cemetery had been burying people since the 13th century, even if Rouen was not Paris.

In such a big city, you can't see the end of the city at a glance. Instead, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and it looks like it's going to rain again.

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

She glanced at Ferrell and Figuere, who were both looking at her.

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

She felt the need to investigate, but the investigator was not her, but an Auror from the French Ministry of Magic.

However, just as she was about to leave the cemetery, there was a crisp sound of branches breaking from the woods not far away. She followed the sound and looked over, and found that a child wearing a red cloak, or rather a red dress, flashed out.

Pass.

She quickly followed it, but lost sight of it. This forest full of deciduous trees was full of discolored dead leaves, which looked both beautiful and dangerous. It reminded her of the story of Little Red Riding Hood in the Grimm's Fairy Tales.

One day, mother said to Little Red Riding Hood, "Here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Send them to grandma quickly. Grandma is sick. She will feel better after eating these."

So Little Red Riding Hood took a shortcut to her grandmother's house before it got dark.

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

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

"No, let's go." She said warningly.

"What about the child?" Feigl asked.

"Tell the locals to see if there are any missing children in their homes." Georgiana said coldly, "Let's go back to Rouen before it gets dark."

Figel glanced at the direction in which the girl disappeared and followed Georgiana away. She did not condemn Georgiana as a person who lacked compassion.

When a kind-hearted woman sees this situation, she should go over and find and protect the child.

Before getting on the carriage, she looked up at the sky and saw only crows circling, and then she got on the carriage.

Soon Philyl and Margaret got into the car, the driver shook the reins, and the pureblood horse-drawn car started galloping quickly.

She leaned against the window and looked at the church in the distance. Maybe the child just now was actually a choir member, although she didn't know why she hid when she saw people.

In fact, her trip to the University of Rouen was well worth it. These "bird-beaked doctors" not only treated people but also animals. There were many things that were taken for granted in the 20th century but not taken so seriously in the 19th century, such as milk.

They believe that many infectious diseases are spread through milk.

Georgiana was not familiar with animals, but she knew that bovine tuberculosis was a zoonotic disease, especially for children with weak immunity. Children who drink milk from sick cows can also get tuberculosis. Children can then infect adults, and adults

They are infected with each other. Therefore, cows infected with bovine tuberculosis are not only unable to drink milk, but also have to destroy their beef. It seems that her plan to build a beautiful ranch and farm will be shelved.

Europeans regard tuberculosis as a kind of romance, a charming disease that only beauties and geniuses suffer from. Reduced vitality makes people look pale, and the flush caused by low fever is like natural blush, that kind of sickly weak look.

It seems to have an elegant and unique beauty.

In contrast, smallpox was hated by people. Even if it was cured, it would leave scars on the face. Even if vaccination with cowpox would prevent the disease, some people were still unwilling to accept it.

Georgiana took out Corneille's investigation report again. Since there was no evidence to prove that it was a medical student, he began to find out who printed these prints.

At this time, she remembered again the engraving titled "Dance of Death" that was hung on the wall, and the little girl who was said to dance on the altar of the Milan Ossuary.

Can that little guy dance in red?
