Chapter 3 Porcelain Dolls

David followed his father and walked on the snowy road.

It is precisely because of the snowy weather that you can hardly see the sun in the sky.

"It's really cold this day." David subconsciously covered his shoulders, "I haven't encountered such a cold climate for a long time."

"David, you have to be prepared," said Dad to David. "Captain Lin is a relatively easy-to-talk person and has a lot of experience. The most important thing is that he is the village chief's brother-in-law, and he is a person who can speak in front of the village chief."

"Well, okay, I, I know."

Village Chief Ge Pingyan is the leader of the village who is absolutely sympathetic. In the entire village, everyone is willing to sell him some face.

"Oh My God……"

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

"This...it's only one night, right?"

David remembered clearly that the lake had not frozen last night!

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

"Hello, Lao Dai."

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

On the way, I met several pedestrians from time to time, and they all greeted David's father. After all, there were only a few people in the village, so most of them knew each other.

"Yes, but since you've been drawn, you have to follow the rules, right?"

"That's right. We must follow the rules."

Everyone said so.

Then, David looked at his father and said, "Dad, I heard that if you violate this rule, you will pay a lot of money, right?"

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

"What's the price?"

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

"Okay, I get it, dad."

Soon, Captain Lin’s house arrived.

...

"Old Dai, why are you doing so politely?"

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

"I should have come here to visit you for a long time, I don't think about it."

In fact, David's father was a little regretful inside. He should have come here earlier, but now he is just cramming temporarily, and the effect will naturally be greatly reduced. Others, I'm afraid they will come to take care of Lin Tai a long time ago.

Within a year, no matter the cold and heat, people will have to patrol the Baiwu area every day. The team members are selected by drawing lots every day, but the captains are only rotated once a month. Those who are qualified to be the captain are also members of the patrol team with sufficient experience.

Lin Tai said very well, saying, "Okay, you guys can sit down. I also know what Lao Dai is going to do. I will explain the precautions of patrol with your son and take good care of him."

"Where are, we are just visiting you. This little bastard is not very sensible. If you don't do anything well, you don't need to see my face. You should beat or scold me, and you don't have to care!"

"Haha, okay. Oh, if I hadn't had a mission at night, I really wanted to have a drink with you. You don't know that my wife's ability to make wine can be considered a great choice."

"It's okay, I'll wait until you step down as captain next month. It's the Spring Festival, so we will definitely not be drunk and return!"

"Haha! This is what you said, don't forget it then!"

David didn't expect that his father and Captain Lin looked very good.

This was quite unexpected to him.

"David," Captain Lin glanced at him, "You have grown a lot taller, and in the blink of an eye, it's so big."

"When he was a child, he often played basketball with children from the neighboring village." David's father sighed, "It's a pity that there is not even a basketball court in our village."

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

Ten years ago...

It was also the end of the year.

At that time, some people who worked outside had already returned to their hometowns and returned to the villages.

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

Everything began to flourish.

At that time, David was still in elementary school. What he was most excited about was that if the village could successfully get rid of poverty, the school teaching environment could also be greatly improved, and students no longer had to attend classes in leaky houses without even textbooks.

As a result... I woke up overnight...

A large amount of white mist appeared inexplicably around the village.

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

At first, people only thought that the occurrence of these fog was an ordinary natural phenomenon. However, with the emergence of fog, the water, electricity and coal in the village were completely cut off, and there was no way for communication with the outside world.

So, in order to ask for help, the villagers went deep into the white fog, but... no one who entered the fog had ever returned.

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

Some strange words were clearly written on the stone tablet.

Those words constitute the village rules that are difficult to compassionate with in the village today. No one dares to violate the village rules.

"Actually, it's better to join the patrol team. Your mother's house can get an extra ration." Captain Lin picked up the melon seeds on the table and ate them, saying, "It's more labor and more rewarding. After all, only by participating in the patrol team can you get the food and various daily necessities given by the temple."

"Too."

After all, the village and the outside world have been isolated for ten years, and the water, electricity and coal have been cut off, so there is no doubt about the inconvenience of daily life. Only when someone in the village participates in patrol can they obtain food and daily necessities, and can they survive these ten years of jail.

Everyone is struggling, hoping that one day someone from outside may come to save them.

There are also many people who have been trapped in the fog and separated from their relatives who work in the city for ten years, and have no idea about the other party's life and death.

And no one knows...

What kind of horror is there in the fog?

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

"Porcelain dolls," David asked, "as long as the porcelain dolls are there, we are safe, right?"

"Generally speaking, that's it. Just don't be too nervous. Then, follow us closely, and at the same time, don't be too close to the white mist."

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

"Yes, two meters, the stone tablet in the temple is written like that. Have you ever been to the temple to see that stone tablet?"

Those who have participated in the patrol in the village are very reluctant to talk about the details.
