Chapter 864 I told you to be careful

The man was a young man in his twenties. He nodded nervously, then immediately squatted down, curled up into a ball, and buried himself deep under the umbrella.

After a while, Xinbao came over beautifully.

The common people were extremely excited to see the living immortal, and they all bowed. Xinbao waved his hand, then looked at the man and said, "It is indeed albinism. It is a hereditary white spot disease caused by a lack or dysfunction of tyrosinase, which results in a lack or synthesis disorder of melanin in the skin and appendages①."

What the common people heard was “This is a @ #《!￥+ % … &…*”

Xinbao continued, "This is more common in close-kin marriages..."

Hao Huashi asked on behalf of everyone: "Master, what is close relative marriage?"

Xinbao said: "For example, cousins, direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations..."

Hao Huashi was surprised and said, "This kind of marriage cannot be concluded? But it happens everywhere!"

"It's better not to," Xinbao said softly, explaining seriously, "Close blood relations can easily lead to deformed babies, intellectual disabilities, or albinism like this..."

She further explained: "It's not that every child is like this, but if among unrelated people, only one out of 10,000 children will have a problem, then among close relatives, there may be one out of 100 or 200 children with this problem."

The common people did not understand why it was so impressive, nor did they think it was strange at all that a little kid was teaching them such knowledge. In their eyes, gods were omniscient and omnipotent.

Then after he finished speaking, Xinbao said gently, "Come here with Xinbao."

Hao Huashi went over to help him personally. The man followed Xinbao back, entered the tent, and bowed awkwardly.

Xinbao glanced at him.

Although this guy has white hair and pink eyes, he's actually quite good-looking. He just looks very timid.

Xinbao sat on a small stool, holding his knees with his hands, and tried to soften his voice: "What's your name?"

The man hummed like a mosquito: "Thank... Thank you Wenkai."

"Oh," Xinbao stretched his neck to barely hear clearly, then nodded: "Xie Wenkai, right?"

She explained it to him.

Albinism is difficult to cure completely, but as long as it does not worsen, it will not affect life expectancy, so we must control it to prevent it from getting worse, avoid complications, go out less, and stay out of the sun.

Xie Wenkai held the umbrella handle tightly, not daring to look up. Xinbao could only see two dots on the umbrella facing downwards.

Then Xinbao continued to explain in a low voice: "Do you understand? This disease cannot be cured by taking medicine once, so it is best for you to go back to the capital with Xinbao and have a checkup every six months or so, because others may not be able to see the disease..."

Xie Wenkai was obviously even more nervous. He squatted on the ground like a big mushroom, not daring to move.

Yuan Shenjue frowned and asked, "Where are his family members?"

Wei Fengting said outside: "His mother is deceased, and there are only father and son. His father is the garrison here, and people have been sent to look for him."

Okay.

So they asked someone to take him aside, and Xinbao and the others ate first.

While they were eating, Xie Wenkai's father came over and apologized repeatedly.

His wife died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to Xie Wenkai. For so many years, the father and son have been dependent on each other. Because his son had this strange disease since he was a child, he did not dare to let him go out. If it were not for the relocation caused by the earthquake, Xie Wenkai would have never even left the yard since he was a child.

Hao Huashi went over to explain, and Father Xie said without hesitation: "When this matter is resolved, I will ask for your help and allow you to retire. Then I will take Wen Kai to the capital... and go to Xuanhu at that time, is that okay?"

Hao Huashi came over to ask Wen Xinbao, then turned back and said, "Sure, my master said I should take a few pills first, and there will be no problem for a year or so, but you must stay out of the sun."

Father Xie agreed repeatedly, then went over and took his son away.

Xie Wenkai buried his head under the umbrella and was pulled out by his father. When he passed by Hao Huashi, he paused for a moment and whispered, "Can I give His Highness something?"

The voice was quieter than a whisper, and even Xie's father didn't hear it. Only Hao Huashi heard it.

Hao Huashi smiled and said, "What do you want to give to my master?"

The umbrella in front of him suddenly sank down again, and then he whispered: "I made a lot of firearms myself, and I want to give them to His Highness and the Emperor."

Hao Huashi's heart moved.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, that's great, where is it?"

Father Xie only heard a few words, but he obviously guessed something and was a little hesitant.

But in the end, he didn't stop them, so Xie Wenkai took them back to the tent, pointed to a mahogany box, and said, "Here."

Hao Huashi asked someone to carry him over and brought him back. Wei Fengting opened it to check. As soon as he opened it, he couldn't help but stare at it in a trance.

Hao Huashi couldn't understand it either. He saw small cannon barrels and some drawings placed together in a haphazard manner. He picked up something and played with it for a while.

Xie Wenkai hummed like a mosquito: "Be careful."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Hao Huashi asked: "Hmm? Be careful about what?"

Then there was a loud bang, which scared Hao Huashi so much that he almost jumped up.

I saw a tree not far away, and there was a big dent on the trunk.

Xie Wenkai added: "I told you to be careful."

Hao Huashi: “…”

He didn't dare to take it back, so he ran to report the news to Emperor Mingpei.

Yuan Shenjue came out to take a look. As soon as he saw the drawings, he couldn't help but stare at them, and then he showed them to Emperor Mingpei.

Emperor Mingpei looked at it carefully, and Hao Huashi went over to learn from it, then brought the thing he named the Hundred-Step Cannon and showed it to Emperor Mingpei.

Xinbao also leaned over to take a look and thought, isn’t this a hand-held warehouse?

It turns out that someone had already created it at this time!!

She really didn't know much about this, but just looking at the shape, it was not very similar to the hand-held wooden guns of later generations. It looked more like a mini bow, and the wooden gun tube was the "arrow" in the middle. The action of shooting was also like drawing a bow, but it was quite cool, and there were carvings, which was very Chinese style.

Hao Huashi played with it for a while, then called Xie Wenkai in and asked him to talk.

As a result, when he was called in, Xie Wenkai felt uncomfortable all over again. He felt so uneasy that he wanted to bury his face in his chest, and his speech was stuttering.

This is clearly social phobia.

Emperor Mingpei said helplessly: "Ask his father to speak."

So Hao Huashi called Xie's father in.

The Xie family was originally a military family. Grandpa Xie used to be a gunner at Yanmen Pass. Father Xie was very interested in this and then improved the tiger squat cannon used in the army. With this achievement, he was transferred to another position, left the border, returned to his hometown, got married and had children.

He didn't expect his son to have this strange disease. He didn't know it was a disease at first and really thought it was some kind of demon or curse. He was afraid that his son would be bored at home and didn't dare to hire a doctor for him, so he taught him what he knew.

Unexpectedly, Xie Wenkai was extremely talented. He built the Hundred-Step Cannon when he was less than ten years old, and also figured out a lot of weapons. However, he was at home, and he could only make small ones like the Hundred-Step Cannon, but he couldn't make large ones. He could only dream about it, but both father and son felt that it was feasible.

When Mr. Xie talked about this, he talked incessantly. Although I couldn't understand what he said, it did sound like the truth.

Now he was looking for an excuse to fight the Jurchens. Besides, even if he didn't fight the Jurchens, weapon improvement would always be a guarantee for a strong country. So Emperor Mingpei directly ordered: "You and your son, both follow me back to the capital."
