Chapter 8 Obligations of Short-lived Species

Cultivation is practice... Zhou Yimu's words are equivalent to not saying the same.

Zhou Fan said helplessly: "Is there any monks in that village?"

This is the most important thing. If there are no monks in the village, where should he find monks? Learn the method of practice to prolong his life?

"This..." Zhou Yimu began to think.

Gui Feng said: "The two old masters Fu in the village should be monks."

Zhou Fan's heart was slightly moved. He felt that Gui Feng's words made sense. The two talisman masters looked very special.

Zhou Yimu added: "There are also Captain Lu and Muramamasara Litian of the village patrol who also seem to be monks."

Then there will be four monks in this way. Zhou Fan couldn't help asking: "Do you confirm they are all?"

Zhou Yimu said: "Afan, your mother and I are just ordinary people. We have talked about monks from some people, and we cannot be sure of this."

Gui Feng also nodded and said, "We only know that some powerful people are monks. As for the specific judgment criteria, we don't know."

Zhou Fan frowned, but he could understand it.

"Afan, life span, you can talk about the monks later." Zhou Yimu's face suddenly became serious, "Now your mother and I have something more important to discuss with you."

"What is more important?" Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment. What else is more important than life span?

Gui Feng suddenly remembered. She grabbed Zhou Fan's arm with both hands and looked at Zhou Fan with her eyes and said tremblingly: "Your father is right. Your life is still four years, but now it's so hot. Mom has to save your life no matter what. Afan, you go pack up first, and leave this village when it gets dark."

"What?" Zhou Fan's face looked confused.

Zhou Yimu suddenly shouted: "Gui Feng, what are you talking nonsense?"

Gui Feng said anxiously: "I didn't say nonsense. Afan must leave Sanqiu Village. Do you want to watch your son die?"

Zhou Yimu showed a struggle on his face, but he quickly said dejectedly: "Of course I don't want to, but your ideas won't work."

Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Yimu and the others, and he asked, "Dad, mother, I don't understand what you are talking about at all. Why would I die if I don't leave the village?"

Gui Feng said: "Afan, don't let it go first, Yimu, why can't my idea work?"

Zhou Yimu did not speak, but pushed open the wooden door, looked outside the room, closed the door quickly, and pushed the wooden bolt to completely lock the door.

Zhou Yimu then turned around and returned in a deep voice: "Speak quietly, otherwise it will cause trouble if outsiders hear it."

Guifeng suddenly became alert, and she agreed and lowered her voice: "You are right, we really have to speak quietly."

Zhou Yimu looked at Gui Feng and said coldly: "What's the difference between asking Afan to escape and die? Have you forgotten that the village implements the law of co-sitting? Five families are in charge, and ten families are why, supervise each other and report each other. If you don't expose it, ten families are co-sitting!"

Zhou Fan's face changed slightly. He had also heard of the law of continuation. One family committed crimes. If the other nine companies did not report them, the nine companies would also be implicated and regarded as crimes. In ancient times, some dynasties adopted such strict laws, but they did not expect that there would be one here.

"Today's hair tie ceremony, the whole village knew that Fan'er's birthday was nineteen. The nine families nearby had a good relationship with us, but they would not allow Fan'er to escape and implicate them. They might have been staring at each other nearby." Zhou Yimu continued.

"And even if you are lucky, Afan escaped from the village. It's so dangerous outside. Guifeng, how can Fan'er survive outside?"

Hearing Zhou Yimu's series of doubts, Gui Feng's face turned slightly and tears flowed down again, "I was so confused that I thought of such a foolish move, but if I don't escape, why would Afan survive in the village? The village may come to our house later."

Zhou Yimu sighed: "Escape from ten times, but if you don't escape, join the patrol team, you will have a chance of death. At least there is still a glimmer of life. Afan can only catch this glimmer of life. We must try our best to help him."

Zhou Fan kept listening, but the more he listened, the more he became more confused, he asked: "Dad, mother, why do I want to join the patrol? And why would I die for a lifetime when I joined the patrol?"

Zhou Yimu frowned and said, "Afan, you have forgotten everything. I don't know if this is good or bad. It is inevitable that you join the patrol."

"Because your life span is only nineteen, which is what the village rules call short-lived species. There is no choice except joining the patrol."

"Short-lived species?" Zhou Fan heard the new word again, "Is it mean that my life span is very short? But I am a short-lived species. What does this have to do with the village?"

"Anyone who lives under thirty-five years old is a short-lived species, and those who are over 100 years old are a long-lived species." Zhou Yimu tried his best to explain, "Everyone of us is protected by the village and has the obligation to contribute to the village. No one can violate the village rules."

"What if it violates?" Zhou Fan asked.

Zhou Yimu said with a cold face: "If you violate the village rules, the light will be expelled from the village and let them die on their own, and the heavy will be killed like you."

Zhou Fan felt a little cold in his heart. He almost forgot that this place was not a civilized and legal society. He felt that the village rules were very barbaric and unreasonable, but in the eyes of these people, it was a very normal thing.

Zhou Fan asked: "What danger is there in the patrol?"

Gui Feng choked and said, "Afan, the patrol team is going to patrol outside the village. Many people die every year. People in the village secretly call it a death squad."

"Is it dangerous outside the village?" Zhou Fan still cannot understand this strange world. Of course he would not know what was going on outside the village.

Monday Mu said: "Of course there are dangers outside the village, with endless strange ghosts. The ghosts you encountered yesterday are just the lowest existence, and the existence with very little threat."

The ghost is just a very small threat? Zhou Fan felt chilling. He finally understood the situation he was about to face.

Although he still has four years of life, if he is allowed to join the patrol, facing those demons and monsters that are much better than ghosts, once he encounters one of them on the patrol, Zhou Fan now doesn't feel that he has the chance to survive.

No wonder his mother Guifeng lost her mind and wanted him to escape from the village. Zhou Fan himself couldn't help but feel the intention of running away.

However, Zhou Yimu had already made it clear just now that escaping is useless. Even if he can escape from the patrol, he will have to face the dangerous existences directly outside. How can he survive?

Guifeng started crying again, and she felt that her son was really miserable.
