Our family is in decline

Hamlet, blood moon.

The huge blood-red full moon was hanging over Hamlet, and the almost approaching scene made everyone feel a layer of pressure.

Since the blood moon came, the whole city has come to a standstill. The originally lively square has become empty, and most people are hiding in the buildings. Only patrolling police and staff, and of course the heroes, are active outside.

But most people dare not look up for a second, because many people have become crazy because of the contamination of the blood moon during this period.

They were normal people in the last second, just staring at the blood moon dully, and in the next second they either attacked anyone like zombies, with signs of corruption on their bodies.

The less serious ones fell into madness, and desperately preached the end of the world, and what was even more terrifying was that these ordinary people who had no access to those secrets actually said relevant information.

Fortunately, everyone thought these people were crazy, and those crazy people would be hit hard once they were discovered, otherwise the fear would spread further...

But now it is not much better for them.

In a residential building, the door and windows were firmly shut, and even the corners were blocked with something, just to prevent a little red light from leaking in.

This made the house even darker than when the blood moon was shining.

"Alas~ It's been a few days and it's still like this?"

A worried female voice came from the house. The blurred figure couldn't even see what was going on, but this sentence soon attracted the response of another male voice.

"Don't think too much."

"What if it goes on like this? The child made a fuss for a long time and finally fell asleep. If it goes on like this..."

The female voice stopped, but the meaning was self-evident. Adults were affected by the blood moon, not to mention children.

Not to mention that their children had been injured when they fled before, and they only got better after coming to Hamlet.

Although they couldn't see the sun when it was extremely dark before, the impact on ordinary people was not very severe and they still lived a normal life, but after the blood moon came.

Not only can they not see the sun, but more importantly, the impact brought by the blood moon cannot be isolated by simply hiding in the house.

Adults were trapped in the house for a few days and felt uncomfortable all over, with many negative emotions in their hearts, not to mention the children who were not sure of their minds.

The official warned that it was the evil magic of the cult and that they must resist with firm faith, but how could a three- or five-year-old child understand this?

This situation also caused the child's condition to gradually deteriorate from depression, with delirium and mania, and most of the time he did not have much self-awareness.

But the parents knew that this was not the child's intention, and they did not dare to tell the child's affairs. After all, they were afraid that the official would take the child away, so they could only hide it as much as possible.

The man naturally understood what his wife said, but even if there were thousands of words, in the end it could only be reduced to one sentence.

"We must believe in the lord."

What can the woman say about this? Should she leave Hamlet?

Where else can she go? The territories of other nobles? Or the jewel in the crown of the empire, the prosperous and wealthy Totnes, the country of merchants?

They fled from those places and suffered enough. What does the prosperity of Totnes have to do with them ordinary people?

Originally, they didn't know why they had been slaves for generations, until they were rescued by the lord. They realized that the darkness in Hamlet was visible, while the darkness outside was invisible, but it was everywhere.

In Hamlet, they only had the lord as the sun above their heads. Even if it was extremely dark and the blood moon came, they firmly believed that there would be a day when the sun would replace the blood moon and the sun would dispel the darkness.

But if they left here, it would not only be the blood moon that was pressing on their heads, so even if the blood moon came now, no one wanted to leave Hamlet in this situation.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

The sound of a bell in the distance brought them back to their senses. They all stopped talking, knowing that this meant another day had arrived.

Lance had been fighting in various places without sunlight for many years, and he knew that the lack of the sun in the extreme darkness would make everyone lose the concept of time.

It was okay when there was something to do, and when they were busy, they didn't care to think about it at all, but when there was nothing to do, they would feel extremely tortured, and every second was particularly long.

So Lance arranged for people to tell the time by ringing the bell. Now there are mechanical watches. Although they are not very accurate, it is enough to know the approximate time.

Similarly, from time to time, there will be people outside with loudspeakers preaching some popular science topics, which may be just one or two repeated sentences, telling you why you can't drink raw water, telling you why you should pay attention to hygiene, abandon some bad habits, and of course be wary of corruption...

If in the past, few people would listen. All policies were forced by the lords and warned with fines. If you really ask them why they do this, most ordinary people don't understand, they just know that the lords asked them to do this.

But now they are trapped in the house and don't have many means of entertainment, so listening to other people's lectures has become a kind of entertainment.

It can only be said that Lance promotes literacy and universal learning by seizing any opportunity, and the blood moon cannot stop it.

The most important thing is to give ordinary people hope, knowing that there is still order outside, and the lord is still fighting against evil.

And the theme of today's talk is not to be afraid of illness and avoid seeing a doctor. If you have symptoms, you should contact a doctor in time, and treatment as soon as possible will help recovery.

Instead of letting minor illnesses develop into major ones, in many cases, diseases that were not serious in the first place lead to sequelae or even direct death.

One of the cases mentioned was a very common case, that is, children who died prematurely, sometimes it was just a minor illness that got worse.

"Recently, some children have symptoms such as mania, aphasia, dizziness, and fever. They have improved after treatment. If you need them, you can contact me..."

Originally, the two people in the room didn't react much, but they still fell into anxiety after hearing this.

Silence seemed particularly depressing in the dimness, but both of them looked at the child on the bed at the same time.

Since it is said outside, there must be other children with similar situations. Ordinary people have limited channels to obtain information. They are very stubborn, but they are easily shaken by authority. They began to struggle.

"What should we do? Let's not do it..."

When the woman talked about this, she was not sure, because they were not children, and they knew that what would happen once they reported it was out of their control.

The simplest example is that when the church cracked down on heresy, it didn't care about adults or children. If there was any suspicion, they would go straight to the grill.

Now Hamlet is so determined to fight corruption that those lunatics will be hit as soon as they appear. They are also afraid that their children will be regarded as infected, and a parent cannot watch this happen.

You can say they are conservative, you can say they are ignorant, but that is the experience accumulated from the lessons of blood and tears, but the little people are never recorded.

"Wait a little longer, maybe it will be fine soon." The man did not say much, he knew what his wife was worried about, and could only pray that the child would get better after waking up.

Because of this, the woman approached the bed and wanted to cover the quilt, but she couldn't help but screamed as soon as she touched it.

"The child has a high fever!"

Soon there was a panic in the room, and when the candle was lit, the two understood why the child suddenly stopped crying and making a fuss, it turned out that the high fever did not subside.

Not to mention making a fuss, you can't wake him up even if you call him. If it weren't for the slight breathing, you would have thought he was gone.

Because this is not their first child, one of them died before, and this one finally came to Hamlet after they escaped with them, so the relationship is even deeper.

It's no wonder that they concealed the child's illness at the beginning, this is their baby.

But now the situation is obviously out of their control.

They were all ordinary people. The man was a bricklayer at a construction site, and the woman was just doing odd jobs with her child. They didn't have the courage to face such a thing, so they started to panic.

The woman carefully fed the child some water, but the child's reaction was very weak.

At this time, she finally compromised.

"Let them help when we deliver food later."

The reason why Hamlet was not in chaos was because of the control. Ordinary people were not allowed to go out casually. They had to stay at home. Going out without reason would be severely punished.

But at the same time, there was basic survival guarantee. Someone would deliver food and water for free once a day. That was their daily consumption, otherwise many people would have starved to death.

And this was their only chance to contact the outside world every day.

"The child won't last until then. I'll go find a doctor now." The man took out his responsibility as a father. If he was caught, there would be no way, so he had to fight.

The woman naturally understood what she knew. Tears had already appeared in her eyes. The child was like this now. What should she do if her husband got into trouble again?

But now is not the time to talk about these things. The man stood up and moved the wood against the door. When he opened it, an unsettling red light shone through the crack of the door, making his already anxious mood even more agitated.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard a sobbing exhortation behind him.

"Be careful!"

The man turned around and saw his wife holding the child under the faint candlelight.

"The child and I will wait for you to come back."

"Yeah!"

This inexplicably calmed the man down. He didn't say much, just nodded heavily and walked out of the door. That was the promise of a husband and a father.

Watching her husband's figure disappear under the red light, the woman's tears finally flowed like a dam bursting, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.

Even if this was just an overflow of Lance's confrontation with the ancestor, not everyone could bear it.

Sometimes a speck of dust from the times falls on ordinary people like a mountain.

Since the arrival of the blood moon, she has been tortured to the point of collapse in the past few days. Now the child she cares about is seriously ill, and the husband she can rely on is forced to take the risk and leave, making her emotions out of control.

Now the only person she could rely on was the lord.

She prayed to the lord devoutly, asking him to save her child and spare her husband...

Fortunately, there was no pain or miracle in Hamlet's land, no holy light, and no cult beliefs dared to show up.

The one who responded to her prayer was the serious Hamlet professional team, because the man came back not long after he walked out, but he was followed by a team of police.

Two policemen holding torches entered, and the policeman who was familiar with the street asked the two about something to confirm the child's condition.

The other one simply confirmed that there was no danger in the house with the help of the light of the torch. One was stuck at the door, and two were waiting outside the door. This arrangement was full of caution and precautions, but the situation was not clear yet, so we had to be on guard.

"We will arrange for a doctor to come as soon as possible, don't worry."

The one in charge of communication confirmed the information and then left, but left two at the door.

Although the man was not taken away, this situation made the two people feel uneasy. Now they can only wait.

Fortunately, Hamlet's efficiency is still very high. A medical team came over before they had to wait too long.

The leader was Greendale, plus two doctors and Boudica who was holding a torch as a guard.

The first thing Greendale did when she entered the door was not to see a doctor. She took out the music box and opened it. The light melody with magical power relieved the whole depressing atmosphere, and even the child lying on the bed relieved the painful face.

Two doctors in white coats, masks and gloves began to examine the patient, while another doctor took out a notebook and began to record. Of course, he also asked the patient's family some questions. They seemed to be very familiar with the whole process.

In fact, there were many similar things during this period. Not everyone was suddenly crazy or out of control, especially these locals trusted the lord, so they had better resistance.

But it's hard to say for children. This is a disease caused by the influence of the blood moon. The first thing is to relieve stress, which is why Greendale used the music box at the beginning.

Of course, another reason is that this child has a good talent for inspiration, which is why he is more strongly affected than others. In other words, he has the talent of a supernatural being. As for the caster, it is hard to say, but at least he is stronger than most people.

After a checkup, Greendale used her power to calm his nerves, and then the doctor directly fed the child a diluted treatment potion.

When the influence of the blood moon was dispelled, the effect of the potion began to take effect, the high temperature quickly subsided, and the child fell into a peaceful sleep again, and the tangled face was relieved.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you everyone!" Seeing this scene, the parents' hearts were finally put down, and they hurriedly thanked everyone.

"It's okay, we are also following the orders of the lord."

The doctor just nodded in response, but when he heard the word lord, the woman couldn't help asking a question.

"Lord... will it be dawn?"

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. The fear with a hint of strength was a mother's struggle.

The man also reacted, and quickly pulled the woman and cursed her with a few incomprehensible swear words with an accent.

But in the next second, she smiled at everyone and said, "She has always been so stupid. Don't confront her, sir..."

The humble survival instinct of ordinary people was revealed. Greendale wanted to answer, but she didn't know when...

However, at this moment, shouts suddenly came from outside and quickly spread.

Thinking that something had happened, Greendale walked out of the door immediately, but suddenly realized something and looked up suddenly... She was stunned in place, muttering to herself.

"It's dawn."
