Being able to walk in the middle of the large group is indeed a great privilege for David. For example, if he slips, the people behind him can help him. If he doesn't notice the fog coming over, the people behind him can help him.
People can also remind him.
The only pity is that the team members were all selected by drawing lots on the same day. This means that there is not much time... to cultivate relationships. Human relationships are like this. Without communication, it is difficult to develop. If you encounter difficulties, I will help you.
It's just a matter of affection, and it's normal not to help.
In front of the barren field in front of us is the ocean of fog.
This fog seems to block out the sky and spread all the way to the sky. Inside the white fog, the visibility is completely 0.
It stands to reason that this fog connecting the sky and the earth should be visible from any location in the village, but the strange thing is... this fog can only be seen close to the edge of the village.
"This used to be the closest road between our village and the next village." David heard a voice coming from behind: "When the fog first came, there was a villager in the village who had just been engaged to a girl from the next village, and all the bride price was paid.
Yes, I made an appointment to hold a wedding during the Chinese New Year. It’s been ten years now...she should have married someone else long ago."
"Is the villager you are talking about yourself?"
"Ah bah bah! It's not me! It's really someone else!"
"Actually, my daughter-in-law is okay. I was only a teenager ten years ago. My parents went to work in the provincial capital and said they would help me save my tuition fees, hoping that I would be admitted to university in the future... It has been ten years, and I don’t know what my parents are doing.
That’s it.”
"I was pretty lucky. It was almost the New Year, and my parents had already come back first. I remember that when the fog covered the sky and the sun came, my dad was still thinking about whether he could go back to work after the New Year... I remember
At that time, on New Year's Eve, he still had to go out on patrol with other people."
"Actually, I can't tell whether this is luck or misfortune. Although the fog is stable now, who knows if it will spread to the inside of the village again one day... Our relatives are at least absolutely safe outside."
"David," a man behind him asked him at this time, "none of your family have gone out to work, right?"
"I have two uncles and aunts working outside." David said: "The year before the heavy fog came, my two cousins felt that they couldn't make a difference in their studies, so they also went to work outside. It was said that there were many
Labor can reduce the burden on the family. The two of them are actually quite lucky to avoid this damn fog."
Hearing this, everyone else fell silent.
"Aren't you jealous of them?" someone asked.
David shook his head and said, "They are my relatives, and it would be best if they could be rescued. It's not too late for me to be happy."
"You are really big-hearted..."
"If it were me, I would be extremely jealous."
"There are also people who get a blessing in disguise because of this heavy fog." One team member said, "For example, that bastard He Yun!"
"That's right! Back then, Ge Niancheng, Shen Lisheng, and Su Wenxin went to work together in the city. Originally, Shen Lisheng and Su Wenxin had made an agreement, and when they had saved enough money, they came back to build a house and get married. However, Su Wenxin fell in love with He in the city.
Yun that pretty boy!"
As soon as we talked about the gossip in the village, everyone's interest became high.
"He Yun is indeed handsome and rich. He is a doctor in a private hospital and has a high income. I still remember clearly that night when Shen Lisheng brought Su Wenxin back to get engaged. During the engagement party, because it was near the end of the year,
Many people in the village came to eat at Shen Lisheng's family's flowing water banquet, but he and Yun came to rob them of their marriage, and he succeeded!"
"It happened that the fog came the next day. As a result, the two of them couldn't go back to the city, so they were trapped in the village. Shen Lisheng and Ge Niancheng, the son of the village chief, were good friends, and they were born in this place with Yun
Not familiar with him, he has no status to speak of, but he is a doctor..."
"The village chief also treated him as an honored guest. After all, there are only a few barefoot doctors in the village's clinic. But if Su Wenxin dared to have sex with this pretty boy, no one would agree. Until five years ago..."
"Okay, stop chatting. The time is coming. According to the formation we just practiced, grab the bamboo poles and point the porcelain doll at the other side of the fog. Everyone, cheer up and be ready at any time!"
Lin Tai allowed the team members to chat, so that their suppressed nervousness could be relieved to a certain extent, so that they would not make mistakes in the next patrol due to nervousness.
"Well, okay, Captain!"
For Lin Tai, the captain, this temporarily formed team is quite convinced by him.
Everyone gradually began to get closer to the white mist.
In the dark night, the ever-increasing billowing white mist makes people feel on tenterhooks all the time.
Everyone knows that there are unknown things hidden in the fog. And those unknown things are always watching the village in the darkness, causing the white mist to gradually advance into the village.
In fact, even if there are daily patrols, if the patrol members fail to do their duty and do not use the porcelain dolls in time to expel the unknown objects in the fog, the fog may still continue to advance into the village.
But in this process, the team members often face life and death dangers. When the fog disperses, maybe if you are not careful, your body will come into contact with the fog!
This is a life and death battle for the whole village!
Most of the people in the village are middle-aged and elderly, and there are a lot of people in their 60s and 70s. They basically no longer have any hope of escaping from the village in their lifetime, especially those whose children work in the city.
Concerned. Now, they just hope to slow down the progress of the mist until they die.
But looking at the fog in front of him, David had different ideas.
At this time, he kept a good distance between himself and the fog, picked up the bamboo pole, and pointed the end of the porcelain doll towards the white fog that was just a few feet away from him.
Fortunately, this wasteland is not too slippery. As long as you pay attention when walking, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Okay! It's nine o'clock! Start taking action!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to the rules of the stone tablet... the three hours from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock must circle the white fog at least once. In other words, after one circle, they have to return to
Here, three hours, almost the right time.
Everyone began to move slowly, as they had just rehearsed, carefully ensuring that they would not come into contact with the white mist.
At the same time, you must also be on guard against the white mist coming towards you.
"Pay attention, pay more attention!"
"Don't just stare at the fog, look at your feet!"
"Fortunately, the road is not slippery now..."
"Hey, captain!" A female team member suddenly asked: "Well, I... I want to ask..."
"What? If you have something to say, please tell me!"
Captain Lin didn't even look back.
"Fog, does it seem to have moved forward... a little? Has it? Has it?"
"That's your psychology!"
"Psychological effect? Captain, should we step back slightly to the side?"
"Don't violate the rules of that stone tablet! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"I...I know..."
The woman almost cried.
David gritted his teeth and paid attention to the white mist next to him from time to time.
The fog doesn't seem to be moving forward.
And...according to what he heard, if the fog moves forward, there will definitely be movement inside. But what kind of movement it will be, it is difficult to summarize the rules.
at this time……
Every minute and every second seems so long, as if it will never end.
Because the team was getting slower and slower, everyone's pace was different, and people from behind began to bump into people in front from time to time.
"What are you doing! What if my foot slips and I fall into the fog!"
"Who told you to walk so slowly!"
"What if I slip and fall when I walk fast! But why are you walking so fast!"
"That's enough!" Captain Lin couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Isn't it a shame? Do you have some organizational discipline?"
Lin Tai also has a headache. After all, the team members change every day. As a result, there is no way to get along with each other and cultivate their sense of teamwork.
But there is no other way now. He can only rely on his own prestige to temporarily suppress the differences within the team.
Fortunately... there is currently no movement in the white mist.
I hope this situation can continue forever.
And David became more and more nervous because of this depressing atmosphere.
He looked at the fog and recalled what his third uncle said back then.
