Hospital No. 444.

Chapter 269 I... Brother?

David lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

After all, he was going to do a more dangerous job next.

Especially... He remembered very clearly that a few years ago, a pair of twins from his neighbor's family were both selected to go on patrol on the same day.As a result, they did not make it back.

Even, there is no body left.Their parents didn't even see them for the last time.

During a patrol, the situations encountered are simply unpredictable.Even if there are porcelain dolls, it does not mean that they can survive.

This caused David to have a heavy mind, and the heavier the mind, the harder it was to sleep.

Finally, he opened his eyes and looked at the clock beside the bed.

It's only been thirty minutes, but he feels like he's been lying down for an hour.

So, he had to sleep again.

A few minutes later, he heard voices behind him.

"David should be asleep, right?"

When David closed the door just now, he left a crack in the door, so he could vaguely hear the sound outside the door.

"I know you're worried, but there's nothing you can do. You have to go when the lottery is drawn. Most of the time, the patrols come back safely."

"In recent years, some members of the patrol team have died one after another. Now the number of young and middle-aged villagers is getting smaller and smaller. Even if the death rate is relatively low, it can't stand to go out to patrol every night."

"This... I know that too. But there is really no way. As long as David and Dai Lan can live in the village properly. I am afraid that this fog will not dissipate in a few decades."

"I say……"

"Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it!"

"This question has been on my mind for ten years...Lei San, he is dead, right?"

"The village head said that this matter cannot be mentioned again."

"I want to know, did you participate?"

For a while, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

"One year, I was the captain." David's mother said: "That year, two people in the patrol team I led died while patrolling. Their porcelain dolls were all gone. In the end, When we counted, naturally there were only seven people left. But at that time..."

"Okay, stop talking..."

"At that time, everyone except me thought it was unbelievable. Why were there only seven people left? I was surprised and told them that two people died! But no one except me remembered that two people died. Don't even remember them ever being on patrol."

Hearing these words, David only felt creepy.

There is such a thing?

"The same goes for other people in the village. Later, I had to remind them repeatedly that they remembered that these two people participated in the patrol tonight. At that time, I realized that the position of captain is unusual. Only the captain can remember that a team died. But, Lei San's situation was more serious that time. At that time, Lei San was the captain. But...but..."

For a while, David's father also fell silent.

"That night, he came to us and said..."

"do not talk!"

"Lei San disappeared after that... just because his parents passed away, and his children were working in the city and not in the village, so you decided to sacrifice him, right?"

"The village chief can't help it. If you don't do this, everyone in the village will die. He is the captain and should take responsibility."

David does remember...

After Uncle Lei's arrival that year, strange deaths began to occur in the village.After he disappeared, no one died in the village again.

Therefore, David has vaguely guessed why Uncle Lei disappeared.

Sure enough, it was the village chief's decision.

"The village head did it himself. He said that he is the village cadre, and since he makes the decision, he has to implement it himself."

hands on...

Speaking of this point, everyone already knows it well.

"It actually happened like this..."

At this time, David's parents seemed to find that the door was not closed tightly, so they came up and closed the door.

David closed his eyes, and in his mind, Uncle Lei at that time and what his mother said just now came to mind.

Only she remembers... Two team members died, and only she remembered who those two team members were...

That white mist, as well as that temple, all have some kind of curse power beyond imagination.However, David never thought that this curse power would be so terrifying!
After an unknown amount of time, David finally fell asleep.

After sleeping in a daze for a long time, suddenly, he felt someone shaking his shoulder.

"David, get up! Get up! It's eight o'clock!"

"Um……"

David, who was sleepy, looked at his mother who woke him up.

"mom……"

"Get up, I'll serve you noodles. Go after eating."

"it is good……"

Suddenly, my mother hugged David.

"Mom..." David froze for a moment.

"David," Mom said, patting him on the back, "I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll light your birthday candles when you come back."

"Birthday...candles?"

Did mom make him a birthday cake?

"Okay, Mom, I see."

On the dining table, there was a steaming bowl of noodles with two poached eggs inside.

"Eat, David."

"it is good."

David sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "Father, Captain Lin said that the meeting place is at the old place at the east entrance of the village, and that you know where it is."

"I know."

Dad nodded and said, "You eat noodles first, and when you're done, I'll take you out."

David looked aside, the bamboo poles and porcelain dolls were placed there, and the bamboo poles... seemed to have been polished very brightly.

David knew that this was because his mother was worried about him.

"David," Dad reminded him again: "When you're on patrol, don't stick the bamboo pole in right away unless you're beside you. As long as the porcelain doll is still there, you'll be fine, don't worry."

"Dad, I want to know, as long as the body doesn't enter the white mist, nothing will happen. But if so, we..."

"Actually, this statement is not rigorous. You should also know that at this time of night, the white mist tends to expand into the village at any time. If you hear movement in the white mist, you have to use the porcelain doll to disperse the monsters in the mist. Sometimes , maybe if you don’t pay attention, the fog will fill your body. At that time, you must be careful and back away!”

"Ok, I know."

In fact, David has always been very clear... The fog has been extending further into the village at a slow speed over the years.

What this means is naturally self-evident.Although the current speed is still slow, this trend cannot but cause fear.

"David," Mom said, looking at him, "if we went to work in the city and brought you there, we wouldn't be stuck in this village. Like your cousin, Right inside the city."

"Don't say that, Mom. I'm not the same as my brother." David, who was eating noodles, subconsciously said, "He skipped grades all the way when he was studying and became a surgeon..."

As soon as he said this sentence, David suddenly froze.

Ugh?
and many more……

"What surgeon?" David's parents looked puzzled and said, "Your two cousins ​​are running a small business in the city! Who did you hear that they were surgeons?"

"Where is it so easy to be a doctor...and why skip grades all the way? You haven't woken up yet, David?"

"Yeah... what's wrong with me..."

David rubbed his head, also finding it puzzling.

What kind of surgeon...

Counting three generations, Lao Dai's family has never practiced medicine.

Is he really sleepy?

"I, I'm probably confused with someone."

Confused with who...?
"Okay, let's eat quickly, we will leave immediately after eating, we must not be late!"

"Well, good... good..."

David took a bite of the poached egg and finished the noodles quickly.He found... that each noodle was extremely long, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

After eating the noodles, David picked up the bamboo pole with the porcelain doll inserted, and followed his father out to...the old place.
