Lu Xiao only thought she was scared, so he didn't pay much attention.

It was true that no one had been to this house for a long time. After the door was pushed open, countless dust fell from the top, almost covering Shen Xin and Wendy.

Although it is very dark inside the house, it is not dark yet, so the sunlight coming in from the outside can still be used to roughly see the layout of the house.

There was a thick layer of dust on some tables and chairs inside, as well as on the door. There were many unburned candles placed on the tables and in every corner, probably for lighting.

There are also many photos hung on the wall.

Judging from the photos, most of the people inside had no smiles on their faces, and many of them were taken with some nuns. Wendy asked curiously: "This used to be a monastery?"

But as soon as the words came out, she shook her head. Who would build a monastery on such an isolated island?

After cleaning the dust on the chair a little, Lu Xiao put Liu Yiran on his back on the stool. He pretended to look around, and then said: "I think I know where this place is."

After hearing his words, Shen Xin and the others all focused their attention on him.

Lu Xiao said: "If I guessed correctly, this used to be a leprosy hospital."

"Leprosy?" Shen Xin was a little surprised.

Wendy was also a little surprised in her eyes. Only Liu Yiran probably didn't know about this disease, and his expression didn't change much. But Lu Xiaolao felt that the way she looked at him was a little different from before.

"It is said that in the eyes of people in the past, leprosy was the same as AIDS today. They were both highly infectious diseases. Leprosy at that time was untreatable. I have read some information that said that all leprosy patients at that time were

There is a very absurd legend in superstition, which says that as long as a person with leprosy has sex with ten people, he can pass the disease to other people and recover himself."

This is actually not much different from thinking that human blood steamed buns can cure diseases. Ignorance and inability to distinguish will lead to these ridiculous and sad things.

Lu Xiao continued: "At that time, many leprosy patients, after hearing such words, went around raping women and having sex with women. Many people were innocently infected with the disease. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, all leprosy patients were collectively exiled to some overseas countries.

On an isolated island. Let them isolate themselves from the world and destroy themselves."

"After that, some missionaries took pity on them and took the risk of being infected to go to the isolated island to take care of them until they died."

As he spoke, Lu Xiao pointed to the jars outside the house and said: "Those should be the golden pagodas. These exiled lepers longed to return to their roots one day, so they would be incinerated after death, hoping that one day their families would take care of them.

They went home and were buried in their hometown."

"Ah!" Wendy was startled and said hurriedly: "You mean, those jars are filled with their ashes?"

Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

Seeing him nod, even though it was still daytime, Shen Xin and the others felt that the surroundings seemed to be several degrees colder, and goosebumps arose on their bodies.

"How about... let's change places. It's really eerie and scary here." Liu Yiran said pitifully.

Shen Xin is a little better. As a doctor, she has indeed faced many more deaths than them. Wendy has a similar attitude to Liu Yiran.

Lu Xiao said helplessly: "You have also seen the python before. There may be other beasts on the island. There are just some ashes here. It is a bit scary at most and there is no danger to life. But it is different when you go out."

"..."

It was obvious that although they were scared, they still chose to stay.

Lu Xiaodao: "I'm going to look for something first to see if there are any suitable tools that can make a fire for cooking."

"I'll help you." Shen Xin said.

Glancing at Liu Yiran and Wendy, Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I'll be back soon. You can stay with them. Once you get used to it, you won't feel anything terrible anymore. Otherwise, I'll take all the ashes."

Move further away?”

Liu Yiran and the others wanted to nod, but hesitated a little: "Would it be disrespectful to them?"

"No, I will handle it as gently as possible." Lu Xiao said in a relaxed tone. It doesn't matter if they move it away, Peng Fei is much more ruthless than him. In order to create a terrifying effect, he blew up all these jars.

Shen Xin and the other three: "..."

Lu Xiao did what he said, and within a few minutes, he cleaned up the golden pagodas piled at the door and moved them all to a place where they could not see them.

Without seeing these ashes, Liu Yiran and the others' fears were immediately relieved by most of them.

Wendy glanced at Shen Xin and sighed: "You are so lucky to have found such a man, who really makes people feel safe and can be relied on."

Hearing her words, Shen Xin couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that she thought Wendy would do anything to Lu Xiao, but that she thought Wendy would not pick up the pot.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wendy's words, Liu Yiran immediately went crazy.

"I haven't settled Zhou Tianming's debt with you yet, what else are you trying to do?!"

Wendy said calmly: "What happened to Tianming, I admit that I'm sorry for you. Even though I knew he had a girlfriend, I still couldn't help but like him. But the reason why I'm with him is because he said he no longer loves you.

This time he is planning to break up with you. Can't you tell from Tianming's actions?"

"enough!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xin scolded her. How long had it been before the two of them were still arguing? She was not interested in the love triangle between them at all.

"If you are not afraid anymore, I will go and help Lu Xiao." Shen Xin said displeased.

After hearing her words, the two of them immediately shut up and did not dare to speak anymore.

After a while, Lu Xiao took a pot and brought a lot of things over. "There is water on the island. Although some faucets are rusty, some can still be used. And there is a shower room next door. I tried it and it worked.

Take a shower.”

After saying that, he handed a kerosene lighter to Shen Xin and said, "I found it in the cabinet and gave it to light candles."

Shen Xin nodded as she took the lighter.

"I found these sheets in the box. They haven't been opened yet. They are still brand new. You can tear them up and put them on your body. It will probably be very cold at night on the island." Fortunately, Lu Xiao took these out from the space.

They are all plain color, so there is no big problem.

In fact, the things on the island have been there for so long, and the lepers have been cremated long ago, so there will be no problem. But including the pot, Lu Xiao took it out from the space.

These were not what Lu Xiao found on the island. What he found on the island were nine golden tripods and the diary hidden behind the photo frame. These were all things that he collected into the space.
