Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2442 "Sheep" and "Wolf" (3)

  In ancient times, people regarded the process of snake shedding as a process of recovery and renewal, symbolizing the dual attributes of medicine, namely life and death, disease and health. People will extract parts with medicinal value from the corpse of snakes. At the same time, they also know that snake venom is lethal when it enters the bloodstream. Therefore, snakes also represent the contradictory properties of drugs and poisons that are difficult to define.

   Since the Renaissance, autopsy has been a challenge to legal and ethical red lines. In 1752, the British legislation stipulated that all murderers should be autopsied, which was considered to be an unpleasant shame in the death penalty. In fact, as early as the Middle Ages, people thought it was an insult to dissect a corpse, but there were no rules at that time. The popular "anatomy theatre" in Padua is considered more entertaining than teaching, although cadavers are still being dissected there, and those who want to study medicine often go to England.

The gallows at Tybourne can execute 8 people at a time. Since Henry VIII, the Barber-Surgeon Association will have 4, and later increased to 6, but it is still not enough, so the robbery and corpse trade has become increasingly rampant. Often corpse thieves would pace around cemeteries and funeral processions, aiming for an opportunity, dragging the body out on the second night of burial and then backfilling it with soil.

   After a whale dies, it will be decomposed by other organisms in the ocean, ensuring that nothing is wasted. Henry and Joannes had contact with these corpse thieves when they were studying. As long as the corpse was not green or rotten, the price was 2 guineas and 1 crown. The baby was measured from the foot to the head, and the first foot was 6 shillings. Ninepence an inch, the more bizarre or unusual the corpse sold for. Due to the plethora of corpses, living people began to abuse it, some people made soap boxes out of skulls, and some people even made dolls for children from the bones of babies.

There are few young people who are not curious about these. Many London surgeons have formed a club. The first is to share information to prevent corpse thieves from asking for sky-high prices. After the day, he suddenly sat up on the anatomical bed, kicked his legs, opened his eyes, etc. Of course doctors don't think it's the undead, but study what causes these phenomena.

  Joannis was still within control at first, but later he made new discoveries. The adult human arm usually has two arteries, the radial artery and the ulnar artery, both of which are branched from the brachial artery, but infants have only one artery. The arteries and ulnar arteries are replaced, but there are also people who don't disappear so that three arteries form in his arms.

  Joannis researched this phenomenon, and then somehow started to study blood, and then he came into contact with some "weird people".

  Henry was sent home before Joannes finished his studies, but Belgium does not have a medical environment like the UK, where religion is very influential. Luckily Joannes was back to normal too, and he seemed like a good uncle most of the time, and Mrs. Langenhofen even reassured him to stay with his nieces.

   "I'm sorry..." Georgiana said sympathetically.

"You don't need to worry too much." Langenhofen said calmly, "My family has a genetic disease, my father has it, and there is my youngest daughter. Joannes and I chose to solve this problem. I studied medicine, but then I stopped practicing medicine in order to inherit the family's business, which seems to be doomed."

   Just then, a policeman came in.

   "She won't go," said the policeman.

   "What is refusal to go?" Langenhofen asked.

   "She was holding the woman and screaming as soon as we got close to her."

  Langhenhofen was stunned.

   "Don't worry, she can stay here." Georgiana said calmly, "You can ask her questions when she calms down tomorrow."

   "How about calling the Englishman?" the policeman said to Langenhofen.

  Langhenhofen cursed in Dutch.

  Georgianna took a sip from the tea on the table, pretending she didn't understand what they were talking about.

   "I'll leave two people here, they'll be guarding the door." Langenhofen said, "I can't ask anything tonight, we'll come back tomorrow."

   "Okay." Georgiana stood up. "I'll let you know if she gets better tomorrow."

   Then Georgiana personally escorted Langhenhofen and the other police officers away.

   "Send someone to keep an eye on that woman," Georgiana said to the Rashfukovs.

   "Okay, ma'am," she agreed.

   Then Georgiana went back to her room.

   In the process of climbing the stairs, she was reminded of Bentham, who classified the principles of science as utilitarian principles and the principles of religion as ascetic ones. If the principle of utility can be carried through to the end, it is beneficial to mankind, and asceticism has never been and will never be carried out by any living being to the end.

  Everyone is dominated by desire and utilitarianism. Scientists should study the utilitarian nature of human beings and find its laws, instead of rejecting it and denying it like religious theologians.

When a thing brings more happiness than pain, he tends to do it, otherwise he tends to avoid it. By observing a person's happiness and pain, we can accurately predict his behavior, Ability to precisely regulate his behavior through rewards and punishments.

   For this reason, Bentham distinguishes fourteen kinds of pleasures, including "pleasure of the senses", "pleasure of wealth" and "pleasure of skill". Twelve kinds of suffering are distinguished, including "suffering of lack", "suffering of senses" and "suffering of intractableness", and seven standards of suffering and happiness are made on this basis.

   When you secretly taste the forbidden fruit, you are happy, but the consequences are long and painful, so why do you do it?

   She should have chosen to resist to the death by the canal that day, but unfortunately she was not smart enough and far-sighted. She didn't expect that a person who was like a brother just a moment ago would become a different person.

  She lost her magic powers then, like a normal Muggle woman. But she also knew in her heart that she wanted to try another one because she had only dated one person.

  Vermeer didn't take away Greet's chastity, although that was easy for him, just look at Greer's eyes in the painting. But if Vermeer did that, it would be very difficult for Greet to get married, and even if she did, her husband would keep this matter in his heart for the rest of his life, as was the case in those days.

   That is to say, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is stepping on the "red line", once you cross it, there will be no turning back. This kind of temptation and invitation does not come from Mona Lisa's smile, but from a deeper level that seems to touch the soul, if the eyes are really the windows to the soul.

There is a shining pearl at the intersection of light and dark in the painting, it is like a kind of warning, because it belongs to the wife, but Vermeer's wife has been given birth many times, even if the figure is not out of shape, it is not the same as pure, such as The 16-year-old girl with fresh fruit is different.

In her memory, there was always a girl wearing a pearl hairpin and a black cape to the dance. She didn't need to leave before the magic disappeared at 12 o'clock like Cinderella, and there was no parental access control, so she had to go back before that time. .

   So why is she rushing back?

   So Georgiana stopped walking up the stairs, then she turned and walked down the stairs, startling the Rashfukovs who were following her.

   "Madam, where are you going?" she asked anxiously.

   "Go for a ride!" Georgiana said without looking back, and ran towards the stable.

  The Rashfukovs dared not ask the guards to stop her, so Georgiana was even more proud.

   But the joy of doing this is short-lived, she may encounter danger in the forest, not to mention the last time she was out of surveillance, Bonaparte actually suspected that he had something to do with her assassination.

So, she changed her mind halfway through and just wandered around the castle at night, like those Hogwarts students who didn't follow the school rules. Unfortunately, this castle is a bit small, and it's not as full of secrets as Hogwarts... …

   "There is a garden outside, how about going there?"

   She listened to the Rashfukovs behind her.

   She stopped, looked out the window, and found that there was a garden not far away, but this garden was not the kind of French geometric garden. Perhaps it was designed as a labyrinth to increase "interest".

   The tall hedges were built to look like a wall, but they wouldn't move, after all, it was Muggle-built.
