Chapter 348 Alopecia Areata
The next morning, the sky gradually brightened.
Xiao's mother opened her eyes as usual and suddenly felt a chill on her scalp. She subconsciously touched it and found it was smooth.
She suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"ah……"
The sound was sharp and piercing, and had a strong penetrating power, which quickly woke up Xiao Tingting who was next door.
She was having a sweet dream. She dreamed that the country girl Chen Kexin was kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy. She laughed wildly with triumph.
Just at this moment, she heard her mother's scream, and she woke up immediately with her heart pounding.
I turned over and sat up, and found a familiar pile of long hair on the pillow.
She touched her hair and found only her scalp was left, without a single hair on it.
"My hair..."
As the feeling of terror came over her, she let out an even more shrill, high-pitched and loud scream.
"ah……"
Several families living near the Xiao family were curious and confused when they heard the two screams early in the morning.
What exactly happened to the Xiao family? Why do women scream?
This is the compound, the place with the highest security factor. It is impossible for bad guys to come in. Why is that?
Everyone came to the gate of Xiao's house to inquire about the news.
The first person to be alarmed was of course Xiao's father. When he opened his eyes, he found a nun beside him. When he looked carefully, wasn't this his wife?
Just as I was still in shock, I heard my daughter next door screaming even louder.
He immediately opened the door barefoot and ran out, slamming open his daughter's door, and found that his daughter's head had also become a boiled egg.
He suddenly felt his vision go dark, and he muttered to himself: "Oh my god, it's alopecia areata!"
At this time, the son downstairs ran up and asked anxiously: "Dad, what happened? What are mom and elder sister shouting? Several neighbors are standing at the door of our house, asking: "What happened..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw that his mother and elder sister both had bald heads.
I was stunned for a moment.
Father Xiao calmed down first and didn't care about the people in his family.
In his heart, the reputation of the Xiao family is more important than anything else.
He staggered downstairs, opened the door and politely explained to the neighbors outside: "Everyone go home, nothing happened, it's just that the mother and daughter had a nightmare and lost their composure..."
Everyone went back half-believing and half-doubting, and whispered to their family members after they got home: "Mother and daughter both had nightmares at the same time? This is too funny. I saw that Old Xiao's face turned pale, and he was obviously frightened. The Xiao family must have done something shameful and bad."
Father Xiao sent everyone away and came back to comfort the mother and daughter.
Seeing that they had finally accepted the fact that they had no hair, he took the two of them, dressed them, put on hats and scarves, and the family of three went to the hospital for treatment.
The hospital had never seen such a strange disease before. Several doctors studied it for a long time but could not find a solution. They could only say in a comforting tone: "It's nothing to lose your hair. It will be fine when it grows back."
Grow out? How long will that take?
The family of three had to return home in frustration.
They had no idea that Xiao's mother used relatively little medicine and it would take half a year for the hair to grow back.
Xiao Tingting won’t be able to grow a single hair on her head within a year.
This was something Chen Kexin found in ancient medical books and had tested on mice. This was the first time it was used on humans.
Besides, there was a daughter-in-law from a large compound who worked in a hospital. She went home and told this to her neighbors as a joke.
Everyone remembered that the mother and daughter had good hair yesterday, so it was obvious that they had "alopecia areata"!
Everyone knew what happened to the Chen family in the past two days, and they all talked about it: "They did bad things and got retribution..."
"That's right, even the ghosts and gods can't stand it."
The news was soon heard by the Xiao family. Father Xiao angrily scolded: "I told you mother and daughter not to make trouble. What should we do now?"
Xiao Tingting had calmed down. She shook her egg-shaped hair and said angrily, "I think it was that country bumpkin who did it!"
Father Xiao started to scold him angrily, "The doors and windows were all closed, how could she do anything? If she really did it, it would be a snap of a finger to get you killed. Can you use your brains? Stop blaming others for everything. Just be quiet, okay?"
Xiao Tingting's face turned pale and she didn't dare to say anything more.
After hearing the news, everyone in the Chen family finally felt better.
Only Chen Kexin sneered in her heart and said, "I'll give you some appetizers first."
That day, the father and daughter asked people for help everywhere and finally found out that the two old men were locked up.
The reason was that someone reported that they were suspected of treason when they were fighting against the enemy more than 30 years ago.
Because more than a dozen comrades died in that battle.
The two men experienced countless battles of all sizes in the War of Liberation and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and their comrades were injured and sacrificed in every war.
My memory was obviously fuzzy, and I could only rack my brains to recall what happened back then.
Fortunately, the two elderly people often eat space food, which not only improves their physical condition, but also improves their memory a lot.
They all recalled the time when they were all class leaders.
The battle was indeed fierce and both men were injured to varying degrees.
They named the leaders and comrades who commanded the battle one by one, and explained that they had no idea what mission they were carrying out and only realized it was a blocking battle when they arrived at the scene.
Not only did the two speak out, they were also asked to write down the details.
People with ulterior motives thought they could find some gaps in the battle described by the two people. After all, it happened more than 30 years ago. However, they found that the battlefield conditions described and written by the two people were just from different angles, but were actually exactly the same.
Judging from what the two people described, it is impossible for them to inform on others.
I thought the two old guys would have blind spots in their memory, so by chance I would find a battle from long ago, identify the problems from their statements, and get rid of the two troublesome old guys.
As for Chen's son and daughter-in-law, they were obviously innocent peasants. How could a few underage children with no foundation cause any big waves? They should just be deported to their place of origin. In the end, their hopes were dashed.
Chen Jianguo has many friends, and many of them have come to him to plead for mercy in the past two days.
Father Xiao felt very distressed when he saw the two boiled egg heads every day, so he came to explain the situation, hoping that the important relatives would show mercy.
The big shot didn't want to cause any trouble at first, but the Xiao mother and daughter and the Zhou family kept coming to his house to tempt him.
He touched his head. His hair was too close to his head. He thought to himself: This must be prevented.
He didn't believe in the so-called shaving trick. He thought that old man Chen must have a few hidden martial arts masters as guards.
Not only are these people loyal, but they are also hard to guard against.
It is better to settle the major issues first and then deal with the Chen family.
He cursed with his eyes blazing with anger: "It's you, the Xiao family, who are making trouble out of nothing. Now you want to stop? I don't have time to play house with you?"
Father Xiao said in panic: "It's all because the children don't understand!"
"Okay, go back!"
The big shot impatiently sent Xiao's father away.
He grabbed the landline and made a call, saying, "Since we can't find the problem, let those two old guys go and let them reflect at home."
The subordinate immediately understood what the leader meant and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Just do as the leader says."
That evening, the two old men who had not eaten or slept for two days were released.
They staggered into the compound.
Everyone they met had a look of sympathy on their faces, and some of them were smart enough to come to Chen's house to inform him of the news.
"Miss Ke Xin, my eldest grandson is walking back after seeing your grandfather and uncle-in-law being released."
