Hospital No. 444.

Chapter 266 Porcelain Doll

David followed his father on the snowy road.

It is also because of the snowy climate that the sun in the sky can hardly be seen.

"It's... really cold today." David subconsciously covered his shoulders, "It's been a long time since I've encountered such a cold climate."

"David, you have to be prepared," Dad said to David: "Captain Lin is a talkative person with a lot of experience. The most important thing is that he is the brother-in-law of the village chief. Someone who can talk."

"Well, well, I, I know."

Village Chief Ge Pingyan is the absolute leader of Nanmin Village.In the whole village, everyone was willing to sell him some face.

"Oh my God……"

At this time, passing by a lake in the village, David discovered that the surface of that lake had already frozen!

"This...is it only one night?"

David remembered clearly that the lake hadn't frozen over last night!

Now, he understood why he felt so cold last night.

"Old Dai, hello."

"Old Dai, your son is going to patrol Baiwu tonight, right?"

On the way, I met a few passers-by from time to time, and they all greeted David's father.After all, there are only so few people in the village, so most of them know each other.

"Yeah, but since you've been drawn, you have to follow the rules, don't you?"

"Yes. You must follow the rules."

Everyone said the same thing.

Then David looked at Dad and said, "Dad, I heard there is a big price to pay for breaking this rule, right?"

David's dad nodded and said, "Yes."

"What's the price?"

"It's a terrible price." Speaking of this, David's father seemed to recall something very terrifying, and his expression even twitched a bit: "It's better not to know, David. The people in the village let you It is good for you to follow the rules."

"Okay, I see, Dad."

Soon, Captain Lin's house arrived.

……

"Old Dai, why are you so polite?"

Looking at the meat brought by David's father, Captain Lin Tai, who was full of flesh and Chinese characters, laughed and said, "Don't worry, you hand over your son to me, and I will definitely take good care of him!"

"I should have come here to visit you a long time ago. I didn't think about it."

David's father actually felt a little regretful in his heart. He should have come here earlier, but now it has become a temporary cramming, and the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.Others, I'm afraid they would have come to take care of Lin Tai long ago.

For a year, no matter the weather is hot or cold, someone must go to the white mist area to patrol every day.The players are selected by lottery every day, but the captain is only rotated once a month.Those who are qualified to be captains are also members of the patrol team with sufficient experience.

Lin Tai spoke very well, and said: "Okay, sit down. I also know why you are here, and I will explain to your son the precautions for patrolling and take good care of him."

"Where is it? We just came to visit you. This little bastard is usually not very sensible. If there is something that is not done properly, you don't need to look at me. You don't have to worry about beating me or scolding me!"

"Haha, good. Well, if it wasn't for the mission at night, I really want to have a drink with you. You don't know, my wife's ability to make wine is also a must."

"It's okay, when you step down as captain next month, it will happen to be the Spring Festival, we will definitely not get drunk!"

"Haha! This is what you said, don't forget it when the time comes!"

David didn't expect that Dad and Captain Lin seemed to have a pretty good relationship.

This was quite beyond his expectation.

"David," Captain Lin glanced at him, "You've grown a lot taller. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big."

"When he was young, he often played basketball with the children in the neighboring village." David's father sighed, "It's a pity that our village doesn't even have a basketball court."

"Yeah...if it wasn't ten years ago..."

Ten years ago...

It was also near the end of the year.

At that time, some migrant workers had returned to their hometowns and villages one after another.

Originally, this would be a reunion day.At that time, the village had already begun to move towards poverty alleviation.

Everything started to flourish.

At that time, David was still in elementary school.The most exciting thing for him is that if Nanmin Village can successfully get rid of poverty, the school teaching environment can be greatly improved, and students no longer need to go to class in leaky houses without textbooks.

As a result...waking up overnight...

Surrounding the village, a large amount of white mist appeared inexplicably.

At the same time, a dilapidated temple suddenly appeared in the open space in the center of the village.

At the beginning, the generation of these fogs was thought to be an ordinary natural phenomenon.But with the fog, the water, electricity and coal in the village were completely cut off, and there was no way to communicate with the outside world.

So, the villagers went deep into the white mist in order to ask for help, but... none of those who entered the mist came back.

Then, the villagers began to panic.At this moment, the villagers entered the dilapidated temple and found a stone tablet there.

On the stone tablet, some strange words were clearly written.

Those words constitute the village regulations of Nanmi Village today.No one dared to violate the village rules.

"Actually, it's good to join the patrol team, and your mother's family can get an extra ration." Captain Lin picked up the melon seeds on the table and started to eat, and said, "The more you work, the more you get. After all, only by joining the patrol team can you get food." Take the food and various daily necessities given by the temple."

"Too."

After all, the village has been isolated from the outside world for ten years, and water, electricity and coal have been cut off, so the inconvenience of daily life is naturally beyond doubt.And only when people in the village participate in patrols, can they obtain food and daily necessities, and survive the ten years like being in prison.

Everyone is suffering, hoping that one day, someone from the outside world will come to rescue them.

There are also many people who have been separated from their relatives who work in the city for ten years because they are trapped in the fog, and they don't know the other party's life or death at all.

And no one knows...

What kind of horror exists in the fog.

"In a while, I'll take David to the temple." Lin Tai looked at the clock on the wall and said, "I have to get a new bamboo pole and a porcelain doll when the time comes."

"The china doll," David asked, "as long as the china doll is around, we're safe, right?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case. Just don't be too nervous. When the time comes, follow us closely. At the same time, don't get too close to the white mist."

"But it can't be too far, right? According to the regulations, it can't be more than two meters?"

"Yes, two meters, that's what is written on the stone tablet of the temple. Have you ever been to the temple and seen that stone tablet?"

People who have participated in patrols in the village are very shy about talking about the details.

But definitely... At least two meters away from the fog!
