Chapter 3 Porcelain Doll

Hospital No. 444 Chapter 3 Porcelain Doll

David followed his father on the snowy road.

It is precisely because of the snowy weather that the sun in the sky can hardly be seen.

"It's... it's really cold today." David subconsciously covered his shoulders, "I haven't experienced such a cold weather in a long time."

"David, you have to be prepared," his father said to David: "Captain Lin is a person who is easy to talk to and has quite a lot of experience. The most important thing is that he is the village chief's brother-in-law. In front of the village chief, he will say

Someone you can talk to."

"Well, okay, I, I know."

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

"Oh My God……"

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

"This...is this just one night?"

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

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

"Hello, Lao Dai."

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

On the road, I met several passers-by from time to time, and they all greeted David's father. After all, there were only so many people in the village, so most people knew each other.

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

"That's right. You have to follow the rules."

Everyone said the same thing.

Then, David looked at his father and said, "Dad, I heard that if you break this rule, you will pay a big price, right?"

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

"What's the price?"

"A terrible price." At this point, David's father seemed to have recalled very terrible things, and his expression even twitched a little: "You'd better not know, David. The people in the village asked you to

It's good for you to follow the rules."

"Okay, I understand, Dad."

Soon, Captain Lin’s family arrived.



"Lao Dai, why are you so polite?"

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

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

David's father actually feels a little regretful in his heart. He should have come here earlier, but now he is just improvising, and the effect will naturally be greatly reduced. Others may have come to take care of Lin Tai a long time ago.

Within a year, no matter whether it is cold or hot, someone must patrol the Baiwu area every day. Team members are selected by lottery every day, but the team leader only rotates once a month. Those who are qualified to be team leaders also have enough experience.

Patrol team members.

Lin Tai was very talkative and said, "Okay, please sit down. I also know why you are here, Lao Dai. I will explain to your son the precautions for patrol and take good care of him."

"No, no, we are just here to visit you. This little brat is usually not very sensible. If you don't do something right, you don't have to look at my face. I don't have to worry about beatings or scoldings!"

"Haha, okay. Alas, if I hadn't been on a mission at night, I would have really wanted to have a drink with you. You don't know that, among other things, my mother-in-law is pretty good at making wine."

"It's okay. When you step down as captain next month, it will happen to be the Spring Festival. We will never come back drunk!"

ahzww

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

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

This was quite beyond his expectation.

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

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

"Yeah...if it hadn't been ten years ago..."

Ten years ago…

It was also the time when the New Year was approaching.

At that time, some people who were working outside were already returning to their hometowns and villages.

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

Everything started to flourish.

At that time, David was still in primary school. The most exciting thing for him was that if the refugee village could successfully get rid of poverty, the teaching environment of the school would also be greatly improved. Students would no longer have to live in a leaky house, even with textbooks.

Take classes if you don’t have one.

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 in the open space in the center of the village.

At first, everyone thought that the fog was an ordinary natural phenomenon. But with the fog, the village's water, electricity and coal were completely cut off, and there was no way to communicate with the outside world.

So, the villagers went deep into the white fog to seek help, but... no one who entered the fog came back.

As a result, the villagers began to panic. At this time, the villagers entered the ruined temple and found a stone tablet there.

There are some strange words clearly written on the stone tablet.

Those words constitute the village rules of Nanmei Village today. No one dares to violate the village rules.

"Actually, if you join the patrol team, your mother's family can get an extra ration." Captain Lin picked up the melon seeds on the table and started to eat them. He said, "More work, more reward. After all, only by joining the patrol team can we get more 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, with water, electricity and coal cut off, so there is no doubt that daily life will be inconvenient. And only if someone in the village participates in patrols can they obtain food and daily necessities, and can they survive these ten years, which is like being in prison.

The same years.

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

There are also many people who have been separated from their relatives working in the city for ten years because they were trapped in the fog and have no idea whether the other person is alive or dead.

And no one knows...

What kind of terrifying thing exists in the fog?

"In a while, I will take David to the temple." Lin Tai looked at the clock on the wall and said, "When the time comes, I have to pick up new bamboo poles and porcelain dolls."

"China Doll," David asked, "As long as China Doll is here, we're safe, right?"

"Generally speaking, it's like this. Just don't be too nervous. When the time comes, follow us closely. At the same time, don't get too close to Bai Wu."

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

"Yes, two meters. That's what the temple's stone tablet says. Have you never been to the temple and seen that stone tablet?"

People in the village who have participated in the patrol are very shy about discussing the details.

But definitely... you need to be at least two meters away from the fog!
