"Young students?"
Keenly catching the key words in the old man’s words, Pei Wende immediately thought of the young man who went to Tongqing Temple.
"Yes, that’s a student in his early thirties."
We don’t know his name because he didn’t live in the village from beginning to end.
"But everyone in the village knows that the student is not an ordinary person and probably not a person."
After the young man came to the fog, the original calm fog would appear strange and beautiful from time to time, as if he were resisting something.
And the young man learned about the village situation and offered to help the villagers solve the problem of children’s "growing up and dying"
To tell the truth, at first, no one believed what young people said.
Because it seems to the villagers that young people are trapped in the fog like themselves and others, it is impossible for the "painting people" to come up with any solution to the problem.
There are so many people in Nai Village that some couples will continue to endure their grief and take the initiative to go to the fog to ask young people for help.
What the young students have done to solve this problem is still unclear to the villagers.
However, the only certainty is that all couples who have gone to the young students for help have indeed got rid of the fate of "growing up and dying"
"but it’s not a price."
Once again, I sighed deeply, and there was a rare fear in the eyes of the old man.
"To help children get rid of fate, one of the husband and wife must give his life in return."
"Or take the initiative to escape from the fog and help students explore the law of fog operation at the cost of their own lives."
"Or’ Mizhu’ body instead of life to suppress those monsters more and more frequent riots."
There is no need for the old man to describe it. Pei Wende finally knows that he saw the skeleton giant before.
Even Pei Wende, the origin of "Mizhu", can probably guess it.
Nothing more than being unwilling to be trapped in this young man’s life and making it in a special way to check and balance those tangible props.
Even the increasing frequency of riots in the fog is caused by young people constantly encouraging villagers to escape from the fog.
"But the villagers are all mortal after all. How can they compete with the fog for a long time?"
"All skeleton giants can persist for less than ten years at most and will be assimilated by monsters in the depths of the fog."
Although it was not a long time in ten years, the villagers were monsters who had lived for hundreds of years.
Most villagers who have lived for hundreds of years and are still willing to have children are those who look down on their own lives and regard children as their only hope.
Unconsciously, the villagers reached a strange tacit agreement of "one life for one life" on such young students.
This day lasted until a few decades ago when a new "painting person"-Zhu Nv came to the village.
Zhu Nv is a native of Niantan Prefecture, Tang Dezong, and also appeared in the fog because of the "mirage" to reach a deal
According to the normal situation, Zhu’s life trajectory will be the same as that of the villagers.
I don’t know how many years later, I will either take the initiative to leave the fog or have a child, and the final result will not escape from the fog assimilation.
But that’s the problem. A loves Zhu Nv.
Ada is not a pure "painting man" but a member of the new generation who are growing up gradually.
I don’t know the truth of the fog. The new generation Ada is born with curiosity and longing for the outside world, and naturally she has a crush on Zhu Nv from the outside world
That’s the heir of "the man in the painting", and he also inherited the attribute of "eternal life". I don’t know how many years after he lived, he finally realized what is called heartbeat.
So what happened next was logical.
A Da Zhu married and learned from each other that the villagers had been hiding the truth.
"Then Ada went his parents’ way …"
"In order to get rid of Zhao Mu’s fate of death, he is willing to’ hang beads’ to incarnate the skeleton giant."
There is both envy and regret in the tone. The old man said in a low voice that he abandoned "eternal life"
"And the former villagers who persisted for less than ten years were different from him. This time, they persisted for twelve years and there was little turmoil …"
Chapter 21 We are the monsters?
In the vast house deep in the fog
"Are you ready?"
The young man with his trademark smile on his mouth looked at the fidgety boy across the street and repeated his question again.
"I can help you get out of the fog, but I can’t guarantee what will happen next."
When talking about this, the young people saw Zhao Mu’s face showing fear of death, which is all life can do.
"To be honest, according to the current situation, it is unlikely that you will successfully leave the fog."
Although young students like to make deals with others, they don’t like to hide the details of the transactions, even if they have the ability and motivation to do so.
"Will I die?"
Smell speech has detected what Zhao Mu sink asked.
"The possibility of death is about half. I don’t recommend you to do this."
Zhao Mu was completely silent after getting a positive reply.
Because he thought of the village, his mother, the stranger who suddenly appeared in the village.
Although Zhao Mu didn’t know why his mother had to leave the village by herself until now, he believed that his mother would definitely not harm himself.
Actually, it’s not stupid. Zhao Mushi already has his own guess in his heart.
This kind of inexplicable speculation makes Zhao Mu afraid that his three views of cognition will be subverted by a fact.
However, Zhao Mu, after all, was Zhu Nv and A Da Er. After a short period of fear, he chose to accept the unknown fact.
"Do I have another question for you?"
Slightly picked his eyebrows. Young people looked at Zhao Mu, who seemed to gradually restore calm, and nodded naturally.
"You can call me Zhou Sheng or just call me Sheng."
