Chapter 9 The Tenth 'People'

The feet stepped on the frozen ground, making crisp sounds from time to time.

Everyone is not slow and keep pace as fast as possible, so that they are not too fast or too slow.

Everyone tilted the bamboo poles to the fog side, and porcelain dolls were the only ones that could give them a sense of security.

Ten minutes have passed.

They walked along the fog and gradually walked towards a largely abandoned farmhouse.

David looked at a country road in front of him and suddenly remembered the scene of playing with his cousin when he was a child. Everything at that time, now... is still vivid in my mind.

Is this heavy fog...it is possible that it will disappear some day in the future?

Over the past decade, many villagers have been praying that perhaps one morning when they wake up, the fog will completely disappear without a trace. But obviously, this is completely a delusion.

"You guys see..."

At this time, Lin Tai pointed to a room in front of him.

The house was half covered in fog and half covered outside.

This situation looks weird.

"Only bypass?" David asked.

"No." Lin Tai said: "If that were the case, it would be more than two meters."

"What should I do?"

"Enter the house. From the window."

Is it necessary?

At this time, at the Dai family.

David's parents sat around the table, while Dai Lan hid in the house and secretly checked her parents.

"Don't worry too much." Dad saw his mother's concern and said, "Now, I can only believe him."

"I just remembered Lei San's time..."

“That kind of situation rarely happens.”

"Yes... I probably thought too much."

When she said this, her hands were trembling violently.

The couple will never forget the creepy words that Lei San said when he found them.

"It's so evil. When I was counting, there were actually ten people in total! Ten people! Inexplicably, there was a tenth person more! But as the captain, I thoroughly looked at the other nine people, and I couldn't tell who was the tenth person!"

"How is that possible...you say, which nine people! I went there too when I was drawing lots during the day, and I remember clearly which people were drawn."

"I, I think I'm going crazy too..." Lei San said crying: "The nine people are Niu Jun, Luo Yujun, Zhang Heng, Lin Xie, He Yun..."

He said eight names in one breath. David's parents remembered these eight people clearly. They were indeed the ones who were drawn today by the lottery, that's right!

Who is the last one?

"There is another one... Ge, Ge Niancheng!"

When David's parents were stunned when they heard this name.

"Lei San, you..."

"I remember that Ge Niancheng was indeed drawn today in the lottery!"

"That's right, he is the village chief's son! When he got married, I would still be the witness for him!"

"Yes! These nine people, plus me, are ten people! Ten people! You guys, how is this possible? Since the fog sealed the village, we have selected eight people every day, plus a regular captain every month! There can never be ten people! Never!"

Such a strange situation makes everyone feel extremely terrifying.

"Are you all confused collectively? Can't tell the difference between nine or ten?"

"How is that possible! For example, Luo Yujun, he is the math teacher in our village!"

For a moment, all three fell into silence.

"The stone tablet says that the tenth extra person must be found within one month. Otherwise, a terrible disaster will occur!"

Before Lei San, the patrol only had a reduction in personnel, and there had never been too many people!

However, David's mother remembered that it had happened in the past. As the captain, she remembered the incident of some people being attributable to the loss of staff. She even repeatedly reminded others that they remembered who was attributable to the loss of staff.

This white mist seems to have the effect of distorting the human mind.

"Will this be the case?"

David's father made an assumption: "That fog makes us all...the IQ lower, and even nine and ten can't tell the difference...?"

"But now we can clearly distinguish it?"

If we follow the words on the stone tablet, it seems that there is a possibility that "one more person" will occur.

But except for He Yun, all these people are villagers in the village! Many of them are also old acquaintances of David's father, such as Luo Yujun and Zhang Heng, who used to be mahjong friends.

As for He Yun, although he was the only outsider, everyone in the village remembered his situation clearly. It was the night before the heavy fog came, when the Shen family held an engagement banquet.

"Tell me, what happened? Something unusual happened, right?" David's father asked Ge San: "This has never happened in the past few years."

"I think about it..."

After recalling it, Ge San said, "Actually, this time went smoothly. Ge Niancheng was very brave. Although he was young, he could really get on with something. At that time, most of his porcelain dolls were removed, and I was a little worried about him."

"More than half? Then finally..."

"In the end, only one leg left in his porcelain doll. Finally, he was shocked."

"Only one leg? So thrilling?"

"Yes... I also think. He is the son of the village chief. If something happens, I... I can't explain to the village chief. I was so happy that I was so happy that I reported the tenth person. I immediately went to the village chief to report the matter. The village chief told me not to speak out for it for now. He said he would investigate. But, but I'm afraid! I am the captain. If such a thing happens, if the village really encounters disaster... I, I... how should I be responsible!"

...

Recalling this, Dad David's hands trembled subconsciously.

"Who is the tenth person, it has not been found out. Therefore, the village chief can only choose to let Lei San take responsibility."

"Responsible with your life..."

"If you don't do that, the village will be dead."

At this time, Dai Lan heard these words through the crack in the door and her face turned extremely pale.

"Guilan, I have figured it out now. At that time, there must be nine people patrolling. But at the end of the patrol, there was an additional tenth person, an additional tenth bamboo pole and a tenth porcelain doll. But for some reason, we would think that person was a person in the village at the beginning!"

"You really...want that?"

"That person is still in the village!"

"This... is impossible? At least it cannot be Nian Cheng, right? Jianguo, we watched this child grow up!"

"Anyone has the possibility. Even Niancheng is no exception. I will find that person, I will definitely!"

"Speaking of this... Why does everything have something to do with He Yun?" David's mother Zhang Guilan had no good feelings for this person either: "Lisheng and Wen Xin were about to get engaged, so he had to come and rob the bride. Five years ago, he and Lisheng went on patrol together. Lisheng died, and he survived. Everyone in the village suspected that he killed Lisheng, but only Wen Xin believed in him. However... this happened before Lei San's incident."

That incident happened a lot back then. Because of the death of his friend Lisheng, Ge Niancheng almost killed He Yun. Su Wenxin insisted that He Yun would not be able to revenge his personal revenge and use Bai Wu to kill Shen Lisheng. Because there was no evidence, the village chief could not let the doctor from the city die in the village, and eventually exiled him to the edge of Bai Wu. Su Wenxin would rather break off relations with his parents than to accompany him. To this day, the village has been scolding both of them.

"I said that anyone is questionable. Whether it is Heyun or Niancheng, anyone is good... no exception!"

David's father... Dai Jianguo said firmly.
