Here Lies The Wicked
Chapter 221 Porphyrin (lín) Disease
Captain Ferrari stepped out of the old cabin and raised his hand to reach for a palm.
Tick-tock,
A drop of rain smashed into his palm.
Outside the house, it's pouring rain, and far away from the sky, the sound of dull thunder is fading away.
Captain Ferris, do you feel the surface temperature, the light rain in front of you, and the thunder, spring rain that keeps moving away?
Was it around March, April and May?
Captain Ferrari stared into silence.
At this time, the sky, as the thunder went away, the rain gradually stopped, the clouds above the head dissipated, the sun gradually came down, and the rain passed through the sun.
Captain Fei closed his eyes and slightly felt the warmth of the sun shining on his cheek skin, then felt the slightly cooler and lighter wind after the spring rain, the wind filled with gas unable to sun aside, the smell of choking fish on the fishing net that had already been wet by the rain, everything was so real in front of him.
“Since it's a memory playback, there will soon be a grievance subject appearing...” Captain Fei opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a brilliant flash, his face was calm and calm.
He looked right in front of him.
A lake,
A pier,
an old wooden house,
There are also houses built on the lake that are not far from home, as well as boats that dock on the shore, which are ancient fishing boats.
Some of the most common canopy boats in Gangnam's fish rice township were not in the pre-liberation era.
The cape is woven in a semi-circular shape with bamboo, covering the hull with a strict and solid shape, where people can cook, eat, drink and sleep; and there are also long and short wooden pulp, where people can use their hands and feet and paddle, with the many advantages of narrow hulls, low underwater resistance, and no delays in transporting people.
It is clear from the immediate environment that this is a small lake-dependent fishing village with dozens of households, very small, and that this small fishing village is still very backward and poor.
“Is this the memory of the last century? ”
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Captain Fei turned to the old cabin behind him and saw only four walls of the original family. Except for him, there was no one in the cabin. At some point, it was not like a quadrilateral wooden table for children. He came out with a little boy with his hands on his knees.
Perhaps because of the backwardness of poverty in this era, the malnutrition of young boys is severe and the lean bones are almost as thin as wood. But even stranger, the little boy was covered under a large adult clothing that did not match his size, blocking all exposed skin.
“A square table with four stools as tall as a table… this should be a house of three or four. Were the parents absent because, in these rainy days, they continued to go fishing and subsidize poor families? ”
“What about this little boy hiding under the table? This little boy is where it all started? ”
Captain Ferrari did not act immediately.
He knew that the evil spirit that was sealed in the underworld had not really appeared, and now it was just a memory replay. No matter how much he did, it was futile, so he waited quietly, but was always vigilant and ready to fight back.
He is not worried about the safety of his old comrades.
A scene like the one in front of him is what his mental awakener veteran comrade is so good at, he's even better at getting water than him.
At this moment, the sun is getting bigger and bigger as the rain clears.
The little boy under the table seemed afraid of the sun, nervously wrapped around the adult clothes, and his body shrunk further back under the wooden table.
“Is it because you're afraid of the sun?” Captain Phil can only watch the memory play back in front of him passively.
“Liang, come out and play with us. ”
“Leung, let's go to the reed by the lake to catch the little crab. ”
“Liang, it's fishing season, the adults are in the county to rush to the fish market, take the adults away, play with us. ”
A group of children who lived in the fishing village came to the cabin and shouted. At this time, the memory of the spirits was still playing back, and none of them could see Captain Fei.
“Do you, you guys, really want to play with me? Are you... aren't you afraid of me?” The little boy with legs hidden under the table with surprises and visions in his voice.
He has only been locked up in the house since he was very weak and sick. He has been isolated by his peers, able to play with his peers and be integrated with his peers. He has always been his greatest desire.
“But before my parents left, they told me not to leave the house.” Just as the little boy joyfully climbed out of the table, he could see a ray of sunshine leaking through the cracks of the house, and people were hesitant to retreat.
“Adults aren't here right now, we sneak out to play, come back before they come back, they won't find us. ”
“Yeah, come play with us. ”
Together, the children persuaded him that, eventually, for the first time, the little boy hiding under the table showed a happy smile, dressed in adult clothes, desperately covering himself up, he was a little afraid of the sun, but he went out to play with the children with joy.
“This fool really thought we'd play with him. ”
“Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let him hear you, or it won't be fun. ”
“Ha ha, right, right, see how we tease him later. ”
“Heard he was always sick, wrapped himself in adult clothes, and never showed his face. Such a weirdo, how could someone play with him, a fool deserves to be bullied. ”
“My grandfather told me he might not be human. ”
“Not human? Is it a ghost? ”
“If you're a human, how can you be afraid of the sun and hide from it all the time at home? ”
“Let's expose him, see if this fool is a man or a ghost. Wait, let's take off his clothes. ”
“Okay, okay, I love ghost hunting. ”
Captain Fei watched as he was finally recognized by his peers, happy to walk in front of the Ariane boy, and listened to several deliberately lagging children, frowning.
His eyes revealed some intolerable color, even though he knew it was a memory replay, which had already happened in the last century, but he couldn't help but move a little.
But at the same time, he was clear that he couldn't stop everything from happening until the memory regeneration was over.
“Leung, there's a little crab here. Come on, come on, grab it. ”
“Where is it? How come I didn't see it? ”
“Your clothes are too big to cover your eyes. The little crabs are so small, how can you see them? You take off your clothes and go down to the reed. How can you possibly catch the little crabs on shore? ”
“You can't take this off! I'll help you find a little crab on the shore, or we'll play ashore. It's too dangerous in the water. ”
Pfft!
All of a sudden a heavy object fell into the water, and then there was the sound of Liang struggling in the water and calling for help.
“Ha ha, fool, I really thought we'd play with you, you actually believed that, haha. ”
“Fools want clothes, swim ashore and catch us, we'll give you clothes. ”
“Come and get us, haha. ”
However, the shore soon heard a scream of horror, and the little boy struggling in the lake water, without his clothes to shield his skin, began to turn red, purple, and a piece of skin became erosive and ulcerated after being directly exposed to the sun.
“Help! Ghosts!”
The children frightened away as birds and beasts. A few minutes later, Ariane grabbed the reed on the shore, put on his original clothes, which had been thrown off the ground, and then fled the shore like a frightened deer, running home and hiding herself deep under the table.
Wet, intense pain caused by burning of the skin made him cry and weep.
“I just want someone to play with me. ”
“I don't want to scare you, I really just want someone to play with me... Dad, Mom, it hurts so bad, I really hurt! ”
Captain Fey watched the little boy's superficial skin crumble and bleed.
“Porphyrin (lín) patients? ”
Porphyria, a genetic disorder that can be congenital or acquired. Patients suffering from porphyria are sensitive to light. Once exposed to the sun, skin inflammation, erosion, scabs, ulcers, atrophy, edema, etc. can occur. Human immunity is more fragile, and even minor abrasions can form erosive surfaces.
This genetic disease, in the developed Western world, was not officially recognized until the 18th century. And because of the extremely small number of patients, the western world knows very little about porphyria, not to mention the backward foolishness, the ancient people of the country before liberation.
“Hmm? Memory playback is not over. Hasn't the evil spirit in the underworld come out yet? ”
“Even if they push you into the water, do you still not resent the world at this time? ”
“What could possibly be more painful than it is before you to start resenting the world?! ”
Just as Captain Fei was silent, many voices were suddenly heard outside the house, and then in the crying and struggling noise of the little boy, he was brutally broken in by the adults, brutally and barbarically grabbed out under the table, punched and kicked out.
Fishing Village Hall.
The little boy saw his parents and was beaten to death and tied to two wooden columns in a wood-heap.
“Daddy! ”
The little boy feared being shrunk under wet, obviously unfit adult clothes, with a broken skin on his hand revealing a blood hole, and struggling to save his parents, he could be kicked out of several heels.
“Burn them! Burn them! ”
“The three members of this family must have gotten evil, only ghosts fear the sun! ”
A noise filled the villagers with angry shouts.
The little boy tried so hard to explain that he wasn't a ghost, he wasn't evil, he was human, he was like everyone else, he just wanted someone to play with him, he really didn't mean to scare people. The villagers disbelieved him and asked him to take off his clothes to prove himself.
Only man is not afraid of the sun.
“Liang, don't! ”
Tied up in a wood-heap, the villagers beat his bloody parents, shouted sadly, but the little boy hesitated, and he took off the clothes that had always protected him.
This is an extremely cruel picture.
Exposing a person with porphyria to the sun is more painful than a late sentence, not to mention a small child, the little boy is in pain and crying, he is still explaining that he is really a human being, ask the village chief and the villagers not to burn his parents.
“It's been half an hour and he's not dead. Is it true that we misunderstood, really just a strange disease? ”
“Take a look at it for another half hour. ”
The villagers looked at the dying little boy on the ground and talked.
“There is no sickness in this world that can see the sun, either human or evil, I have sent people to the county to find high people to exorcise evil in the village, if you live hard, as long as you can honestly wait for people to come, when you exorcise evil, we will let you and your parents go.” In the shrine, the village chief watched indifferently the dying little boy on the ground, as well as the parents of the little boy tied to the stakes.
Captain Fei has been watching the development, and even at this point, the little boy is biting his teeth to support the last trace of light oil in his life, he is not dead, and there is no resentment for the world.
He's waiting.
He's waiting.
It's not time for him to die.
I can't die!
I can't die!
The little boy stayed up from the afternoon until the evening. The people who had to wait had not arrived. The villagers gradually lost patience and began to make noise to burn the three unfortunate people in the village.
“Burn them! ”
“Burn them! ”
Click... the village chief has touched a rusty foreigner's watch that has been rusting for some years. He glanced at the watch time and waved indifferently: “It is now 8: 45 pm, the people who went to the county to find the tall people have not come back, it seems that they will not come tonight, burn them! ”
“We must not leave evil recruiters in our village, or it will bring disaster to the whole village! ”
Boom!
The kerosene lamp broke, the kerosene became the fastest flame retardant, instantly turned into two groups of bear fires swallowed up the two people tied to the wooden stakes, making a terrible scream.
“Daddy! ”
“Liar! Liar, you're all liars! ”
“I'm already waiting! I'm not being a bad boy! ”
“Why are you burning my father and my mother?" ”
The dying boy, exposed to blurred flesh and blood, screamed and screamed.
“You resent it? Are you angry? ”
“Whoever calls you an unclean person has brought trouble to your parents. The one who really killed your parents himself is you!” The village chiefs and villagers collectively denounced the flesh and blood on the ground and the dying innocent little boy.
“No! I didn't!”
“Did I kill my parents? ”
The head of the little boy on the ground, suddenly rotated 90 degrees from a non-human angle, his face turned behind him, his eyes as hollow as dead fish eyes, no anger, staring straight into Captain Fei's direction.
“Dust to dust, dust to dust. Let those who lived in the past rest in peace, and let those who lived in the world be released again.” Captain Fei had two thin blades in his hand.
“Did I kill my parents? ”
The little boy whose face rotated ninety degrees behind him, did not listen to Captain Fei, and still died repeating the same sentence.
But the next moment!
His skin fell off severely and his fleshy, thin body suddenly stood up straight, so his neck turned backwards and he jumped at Captain Fey.
……
And at this moment, in the other direction of Li Zhi's neighborhood, the sixth high school in the city.
When the wall clock pointer arrives at 8.45 p.m.,
The school security room has been closed outside the door and suddenly there is a rush to beat, as if there are children's messy footsteps… what is outside the security room that wants to come in.
