Chapter 638
Cheng's mother was stunned and said uncertainly: "Is it like this?"
Cheng Ling nodded and said very seriously: "As for that."
Cheng's father crossed his hands on his lap, frowned and said to Cheng Ling: "Xiao Ling, we have always strictly followed the rules and kept silent about what secrets you found out about the enemy or what you were doing, unless you take the initiative to tell us. "But Lingling, you should also understand how worried we are about you."
Cheng Ling said softly: "I know. Really. I've always known it."
"Does the chief know about this?" Brother Cheng, who had remained silent, suddenly asked.
"He knows. He refused my approach at first, and even sent someone to protect me," Cheng Ling looked at his elder brother, "In the end, I convinced him."
Mr. Cheng put down his tea cup and asked: "Can you tell us what exactly you want to prevent? You don't need to tell us the specific thing. We can use scriptures to understand it ourselves. How much we can understand depends on our personal ability. We will never ask. You see How about it?"
The whole family stared at Cheng Ling.
After Cheng Ling pondered for a moment, he nodded: "Have you read the novel "The Island" by the English writer Victoria Hislop?"
Brother Cheng nodded, "I've seen it."
Mr. Cheng also nodded: "I've seen it too."
He stayed in Hangzhou for so many years with nothing to do, and novels helped him pass a lot of boring time.
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng shook their heads.
"It's too late for us to read it now," Cheng's mother raised her chin and said, "Bosheng, why don't you tell us the content of the novel."
Cheng's mother quickly calmed down from her initial excitement.
She would like to hear what big things her daughter is doing.
Brother Cheng said "hmm", lowered his head to sort out his thoughts, and said, "I read it a long time ago. There's something wrong. Xiao Ling, please correct me."
Cheng Ling nodded, "Okay."
Brother Cheng then said: "This novel mainly revolves around the spread of leprosy in Europe in the last century. There was a Greek female teacher who was infected with leprosy by her students and was sent to a nearby place called Spinalonga. They were quarantined on the island. The female teacher’s husband was responsible for delivering supplies to the patients on the leprosy island. Later, the female teacher died without seeing her two daughters. My little daughter is a very good person. However, she was also infected with leprosy for some reason and was also sent to the island——"
"The days of isolation are very painful. The isolated patients lack daily necessities and medical supplies, and have to endure the pain of the disease..."
"Human beings have conquered leprosy, and leprosy patients have been cured one after another and returned to normal society. This includes the female teacher's little daughter. But many lepers have left serious sequelae... and many more have been left behind forever. In that era, he became the trophy of many leper demons.”
"The female teacher also has an eldest daughter..." Cheng Baisheng changed his words, and Cheng Ling raised her hand to stop her elder brother from continuing.
Brother Cheng raised his eyebrows and showed a confused expression: "What? Am I right?"
Cheng Ling shook his head, "Brother, you are right, but that's enough."
Mother Cheng frowned: "What? Does anyone want to spread leprosy again?"
Father Cheng shook his head: "Leprosy has been conquered by humans a long time ago - it can be prevented with just one dose of vaccine."
In this room, apart from Cheng Ling, the most popular person is Mr. Cheng.
Old Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Ling with wise eyes, and he asked slowly: "If there is an enemy country that is bent on curbing the development of China, and wants to use the virus to suppress the rise of China, or some crazy organization wants to Use viruses to achieve certain goals - then, when the virus spreads, each of us will become a victim, right?"
Cheng Ling nodded heavily.
Brother Cheng was suddenly awakened: "So, if a certain virus is developed and released into China - our country has a large population density and limited medical standards, then the disease will spread rapidly. The virus is very important to our country Its lethality is much more powerful than that of developed countries——"
Cheng Ling's expression was solemn.
Under the gaze of the family, he nodded again.
