Chapter 2282: Find a teacher when you have trouble
Manbao tore off a piece from another bun and put it together with it, then picked up another bun and tore off a larger piece. He said to them, "It's different from you. Your deficiency is acquired, so the deficiency in your bloodline won't show. But it's different for children. They started to have deficiency when you two got together, so the missing part won't grow back when they grow up. That's why some children have no hands, some have no legs, and some have no eyes..."
Some women couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands, tears streaming down their faces. This was the case with their previous children. At this moment, everyone understood.
Even the young people couldn't help but show despair on their faces, and they didn't know what to do.
The village chief murmured, "This is a punishment from heaven. This must be a punishment from heaven."
Man Bao said, "I don't have a better way to cure it. You...why not treat it as one of the many terminal illnesses of mankind? Perhaps that will make you feel better."
The villagers lowered their heads and said nothing.
The village chief slid off the stool and knelt in front of Manbao. Manbao reached out to help him up, but he couldn't. The village chief said, "Sir, I know this is difficult, but I beg you, please, please leave us a bloodline, just one."
The villagers knelt down, pressed their foreheads against the ground, and refused to get up.
Manbao opened her mouth. She knew that offspring were important, but was she still willing to give birth even though she knew the child would not be healthy?
Manbao was silent for a long time before saying, "I'll check your bodies carefully again. I'll draw your blood in a couple of days."
The village chief and the others didn't know what blood drawing was, but they knew that this was a sign that Zhou Man had agreed to their request, so they stood up, wiping their tears.
Bai Shan's brows were furrowed throughout dinner, and even when they returned to their courtyard, they didn't relax. He asked Man Bao, "The poisonous stone that the craftsmen hid back in the village has been there for a long time. I'm afraid everyone has been affected. If you can't be sure of giving birth to a healthy child, it's better not to have one."
He said, "Like Yin Huo, he refused to get married even though he had such a great opportunity, because he knew that living with his body was suffering. The Yin family was powerful and wealthy, so they could save his life. If it were these villagers..."
Manbao nodded. "I know, but I think if I refuse outright, they might become demons. It's better to check carefully again. If it's okay, then it's okay. If not, I can only suggest that they don't have children."
Bai Shan said, "Buddha said there is a paradise in the west. Perhaps knowing there is another world will make it easier for them to accept it."
This is to use Buddhism to comfort people's hearts.
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid we can't."
Bai Shan also nodded, "Our cultivation is too shallow, it's better to preach than to talk about Buddhism, but I asked, they believe in Buddhism here."
As for Tao, they have never heard of it.
Bai Shan lamented, "If only Master Zhiren were here."
"Perhaps we can invite him later?" Manbao asked, "Master Zhiren, have you been planning to walk back to the capital from Tingzhou recently?"
Bai Shan: "...If the trade route is reopened, he shouldn't go through Tingzhou anymore, right?"
The two looked at each other without saying a word, but quietly reached a consensus.
Manbao went back to the room and lay down with the quilt in his arms. Teacher Mo also came online. He looked through the images uploaded by Manbao one by one and said to her, "There are no protective measures. It can be seen that the meteorite has had a great impact on them."
When Manbao mentioned the village's wish, Teacher Mo frowned, "How can we have children with such severe pollution? It's illegal."
Manbao was shocked, "Giving birth to a child is illegal?"
Teacher Mo nodded seriously. "Of course, in a pollution incident this serious, the person involved cannot make their own decision to have children. This is unfair to both the child and society."
Manbao's shoulders slumped. "But they value offspring very much. It's been three years since they found out they were affected by the poisonous stone and gave birth to a deformed child."
"Three years ago, I told them not to have children, but they still gave birth to three children in the past three years. I think there should be more than three," Manbao said, "but only three survived."
Teacher Mo frowned.
Manbao also fell silent. After a long while, he said, "This is the reality of our world. I have the will but not the ability. At least for now, I can't change their minds. I promised to help them check their bodies again, so I want to draw their blood for testing, but teacher..."
"I'll help you," Teacher Mo said, his eyes sparkling as he heard her say to draw blood. He put aside the topic of their inability to help, his eyes sparkling. "How many people are there in total? I'll give you the needles and storage tubes I learned to use for blood drawing."
These blood samples are the most original data and are very important to Teacher Mo.
The meteorite had a strong polluting effect. After they collected it, they only dared to use livestock for pollution tests and had no data on human bodies.
But now that we have first-hand data on human pollution, it is impossible for Mr. Mo not to be excited.
He remembered something and asked, "If you go looking for meteorites, do you have any protective measures?"
Manbao shook his head, "Put on more clothes?"
"How much use will that be?"
Teacher Mo thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a few protective suits that can be worn next to the skin. Do you want helmets? The lab recently added a batch of new ones, so I can apply for a few more for you."
Manbao had seen Teacher Mo wearing a helmet, so he couldn't bring too many people with him. He could only bring Daji at most.
The others were the guards of the Bai family, and she and Bai Shan did not trust them very much.
But she would take as much good things as she was given, so she nodded repeatedly.
Teacher Mo didn't ask her how much she wanted, and just applied according to the amount she could get.
If there are too many, the apprentices can exchange them.
Manbao has provided them with so many good things, so what's wrong with taking some of their equipment?
Thinking of this, Teacher Mo suddenly remembered, "You are in the desert now? Is the living environment very harsh?"
Manbao was about to say it wasn't bad and asked the teacher not to worry, but when he met the eyes of Teacher Mo on the other side of the screen, Manbao nodded in a sudden realization, "Yes, it was terrible. The sun was very strong during the day, the wind and sand were strong, and it was very cold at night..."
Teacher Mo nodded and said, "I'll apply for some protective bracelets and necklaces for you later. You've been out for so long collecting meteorites, and you didn't tell me when you encountered difficulties. If you have any problems in the future, remember to tell me. I will give you all the support I can."
Manbao was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Mo, what's wrong with you?"
Teacher Mo smiled at her and said, "It's okay."
See you at 6pm
