Chapter 290 The Only Male

After the two female sorcerers searched the area carefully, they saw a mermaid in a clear spring. It seemed that the aura in the vicinity emanated from it. It must be a mermaid with hundreds of years of practice. people……

In order to capture this merman, the two spent a lot of effort, but unfortunately this merman is extremely intelligent, and it managed to escape several times.In the end, there was really no other way. The older sister of the two remembered an ancient formation called the Trapped Immortal Formation... It is said that it can trap spiritual beasts, and presumably it should be more than enough to capture sharks, so they set up a magic formation in the peach forest. He set a trap and tried every means to lead the merman into the trapped fairy formation.

It was too late when the merman found out that he had been duped, and he could no longer escape from being trapped in the formation.Although the two female sorcerers wanted to refine the mermaids into pills, they suffered from the fact that there was no copper furnace for alchemy in the barren mountains, and if they transported the mermaids out of the mountains, they were afraid that things would change on the way, so in the end the two of them could only take the mermaids together. People slaughtered it on the spot and ate its flesh and blood...

After hearing the female alchemist's words, the ancestors of Taohuawu were very envious of the chance of the two of them, and asked if they could teach them the formation to trap the mermaids, so that they could have a chance to live forever.

The two of them knew that the mermaid was hard to find, so how could it be so easy for you to meet them every day, so they generously taught them the trapped fairy formation, thinking that after a long time, the villagers would forget about it up.

But the two of them did not expect the greed of human nature. After waiting for a while, the ancestors of Taohuawu realized that there should be only one mermaid in the spring water. Otherwise, how could they have never encountered it after living here for more than ten years? !Therefore, it is impossible to achieve immortality by catching sharks.

But they thought about it again, if eating merman meat could make them live forever, would human flesh that ate merman meat also have the same effect?The two female alchemists might never have imagined that the refugees they rescued and took in with good intentions would finally set their minds on the two of them...

Because they were defenseless, even though the two female alchemists had practiced some ways, they still followed the ways of these ordinary people in the end, and the ancestors of Taohuawu also "got their wish" and realized their dream of "immortality".

What everyone didn't expect was that all this was just the beginning of a curse. Things seemed to be different from what they had imagined. They didn't get real immortality, they just delayed their lifespan by one year compared to ordinary people. It's only 200 years... But the price to be paid for prolonging life is far more than what they imagined.

Later, there were occasional refugees who escaped here, and the women tried their best to keep them, marry them, have children, and reproduce... But they soon discovered a terrible thing.

It turns out that this delayed lifespan will not continue to their offspring. On the contrary, the children born to the first generation of Taohuawu women will even age faster than ordinary people, and even granddaughters who look younger than Grandma is old.This is a terrible curse for the ancestors of Taohuawu, and it is also a punishment for them to choose treachery in order to live forever...

Unexpectedly, in order to break the curse, they thought of a more terrifying method to change the rapid aging of those descendants.So the people in Taohuawu used this method to pass on the life-delaying gene from generation to generation, but for some reason, there are always more females than males among their offspring, even if there are one or two boys occasionally, it is very difficult. live to adulthood.

Since there are no men, the women in Taohuawu can only "recruit their husbands to come to their home". However, in order to strictly keep the secrets of Taohuawu, these men are basically abducted and kept at home after they return, until the other party and themselves give birth to a joint marriage. The child, when the person is old, will completely let go of his imprisonment...

Because by that time, most men can only accept their fate. Even if they are allowed to return to their original lives, they will have no way to find their own position. What about the days when you open your mouth and don’t worry about food and clothing? !

After Song Jiang listened, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I used to hear about the abduction and trafficking of women and children, but I didn't expect that we would encounter the abduction and trafficking of men!? I have another question. What if the abducted man can't have children? How to do it?"

"A man who can't bear children is a waste of food. Usually, he is directly killed and buried in the peach grove as fertilizer..." Cui Cui's mother said without blinking her eyes.

Song Jiang felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, it seems that not all men can enjoy the emperor-like treatment here!Then he looked at Bai Shaofei and said, "Are you so open-minded at such a young age? Why did you come back by yourself after you escaped?"

After hearing this, Bai Shaofei smiled wryly, "You misunderstood me, I was not kidnapped from outside, my body was already filled with the blood of people from Taohuawu... So even if I go out to live, I can't tell the secret of Taohuawu. "

As soon as Song Jiang heard it, he understood that Bai Shaofei should be the boy who was rarely born, so he said in surprise, "Didn't it mean that the boys here generally don't live to reach adulthood?"

"It's not absolute. My brother and I...that is, the eldest son of the fourth uncle, we have grown up smoothly. Because we are rare boys, we are loved and loved, and we can even go to the outside world to receive education. It's a pity In the end, we still haven't escaped the curse of fate, even if we live to adulthood, we will be riddled with various diseases in the end, unable to enjoy the life of ordinary people." Bai Shaofei sighed.

After hearing this, Song Jiang asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't the longevity gene pass on to you?!"

Bai Shaofei shook his head and said, "For some reason, the art of longevity is passed on to women but not to men. Even if we eat the previous generation's..., we can't change the fate of short life. Maybe we in Taohuawu have acquired too many things that ordinary people shouldn't have. Life counts, so God punished Taohuawu for not having a man to continue the incense."

Song Jiang had finally figured out all the secrets in Taohuawu by now, and when he thought about how they had witnessed the terrifying side of the women in Taohuawu last night, he felt sympathy for Bai Shaofei, the only male, from the bottom of his heart. .
