Chapter 358 Sickness

After going through strange things, Chen Xiaofan didn't dare to sleep at all, and stayed up all night tremblingly.

A ray of light came in in the morning, and he could also feel the warmth from outside. The girl should come to him today, and he had to tell her about this. There are unclean things in their group.

There was a knock on the door, Chen Xiaofan thought that the girl came so fast, she came to look for him early in the morning.

He stood up and removed the things blocking the door, and opened the door, but the person standing in front of the door was not a girl.

The patriarch's burly body blocked the door, and only half of his body could be seen.

"Patriarch, it's you."

Chen Xiaofan's tone was somewhat disappointed.

The patriarch bent down so that he could barely speak to Chen Xiaofan.

"Boy, did you encounter any strange things yesterday?"

Listening to his words, Chen Xiaofan thought that perhaps he was not the only one who encountered strange things last night.

"Yes, Patriarch, yesterday I saw a boy with blue light all over his body. He behaved strangely and sat on me in the middle of the night."

The patriarch's expression was a little dignified, and it seemed that things were unusual.

"Hey, what should come will come after all."

He sighed, what he said was not in the village or in the store, Chen Xiaofan thought, did he know about this a long time ago?

The patriarch didn't enter the house, but took two steps back, signaling Chen Xiaofan to come out.

Chen Xiaofan, who had recovered a little, thought of it a long time ago, but after all, it is someone else's territory, and his identity as the patriarch is still in doubt, so wandering around is not a good thing.

Invited by the patriarch, Chen Xiaofan stepped out, outside the door was a forest wrapped in heavy snow, surrounded by white snow.

The patriarch squatted down and hugged Chen Xiaofan.

Chen Xiaofan was quite frightened.

"You have just recovered. In this snowy day, let me take you to the clan to have a look."

He held Chen Xiaofan on his shoulders, compared to the patriarch's burly body, Chen Xiaofan was like a child.

Being held on the shoulders of others, he felt a little strange and a little ashamed, but his vision was really good.

"thank you."

After saying thank you, the patriarch grinned and said:

"You are my rebellious son, don't get in the way."

Chen Xiaofan felt helpless.

"Master patriarch, Nizi is really not a good word."

The patriarch ignored him and led him towards the forest.

The field of vision is wide, and the location can be determined in the surrounding snow-wrapped forest. Their group lives in the middle of the mountain, and there is a cliff not far from the roadside. Occasionally, when they walk by and look down the mountain, the white snow is mixed with jungle shrubs.

Looking into the distance, covered by clouds and mist, one can vaguely see some huge and mysterious giant mountains. The mountains are huge and ancient, hidden among the clouds, and seem to have broken through the clouds.

Chen Xiaofan raised his head and looked up, there were misty clouds and mist above the mountain road, there was a faint golden light between the clouds and mist, maybe there is the holy mountain?
It seems that there are many magical things hidden in the mountains in the forbidden area.

The mountain is very empty, you can hear the wind in your ears, and occasionally you can find a few birdsong.

The place where Chen Xiaofan lived was a bit remote, the patriarch led him for a long walk, and the surrounding terrain gradually leveled off.

The place where he lives is remote, Chen Xiaofan can also understand, firstly, he needs to be clean to recuperate, and secondly, he is a stranger after all, so he should always take precautions.

On a large piece of flat land excavated in the middle of the mountain, there are dozens of wooden houses. The roofs of the wooden houses are covered with white snow, like wearing a white hat.

There is heat coming out of the chimney on the roof, it seems that this is the stronghold of the ethnic group.

A fire was lit on the flat ground, and some young men in animal skins were grilling meat. Some creatures had been skinned, and some blood was sprinkled on the white snow. Some clansmen sat in the distance, with nervous expressions, chatting about something.

The ethnic group is too primitive, even older than Chen Xiaofan imagined.

The patriarch brought Chen Xiaofan to the base camp, and as soon as he got outside the wooden house, he aroused the attention of the clansmen.

"The patriarch is back!"

The young man called softly, and the quiet group suddenly became lively.

The door of the wooden house was pushed open, men, women and children ran out, and suddenly there were many people on the flat ground.

Chen Xiaofan sat on the shoulder of the patriarch, he could see very clearly.

None of the clansmen were as strong as the patriarch. Most of them were dark-skinned, thin, with an unhealthy blush on their faces.

Whether it's men or women.

When they walked out of the room and got together, the first thing they did was to half kneel down and bow towards the place with golden light on the top of the mountain.

Kowtow to worship, chanting words.

Chen Xiaofan had doubts in his heart, what are they doing?
The patriarch seemed to know his doubts, and whispered:
"Many people have seen you. At that time, you were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Now I see that you have recovered, and your broken hands and feet have been restored. All of this is due to the saintess and a gift from the gods."

"They are lamenting the power of the gods."

Chen Xiaofan didn't say much, he didn't believe it, and he didn't like the god who could kill the girl master.

The patriarch didn't say any more, and walked forward with Chen Xiaofan.

The people who had worshiped the gods stood up, and the patriarch came to the front of the crowd and pointed to Chen Xiaofan on his shoulder.

"He is my adopted son, and also the apprentice of the saint, and everyone takes care of each other."

Sitting on the patriarch's shoulder, Chen Xiaofan felt that his position was a bit domineering and awkward.

The clansmen didn't care, and cheered and welcomed him.

He nodded with an awkward smile, thinking that he had never experienced this scene before.

After introducing Chen Xiaofan's identity, the patriarch told everyone to prepare some food and hold a banquet today.

The faces of the clansmen were rosy, and the cheers became louder.

Then they scattered in all directions, each getting busy.

The people in the ethnic group are simpler than imagined. They are like pure villagers living in the mountains and forests, guarding their own three-tenths of acres, living a comfortable life, eating and drinking, and being happy all day long.

The patriarch couldn't help sighing as he watched the heavy snow cover the mountains outside and the whiteness in the deep mountains and old forests in the distance.

"The mountain is covered by heavy snow. I don't know how long it will take for this once-in-a-century snow to melt."

Chen Xiaofan listened silently, feeling helpless in his heart, if it wasn't for the heavy snow, he would not be separated from his companions, and he might have embarked on the road to other time zones long ago.

"Xiao Fan."

Suddenly being called, Chen Xiaofan answered in response.

The patriarch turned his head to look at him and said:
"I'll take you to meet someone."

Chen Xiaofan thought he was going to meet a girl, and he was looking forward to it.

The two came to the front of the wooden house, and arrived at a small wooden house. The patriarch was really tall, sitting on his shoulders, Chen Xiaofan could go straight to the roof.

The patriarch squatted down and ordered Chen Xiaofan:

"Come down."

Chen Xiaofan jumped off his shoulders, he didn't feel any abnormality in his body, he recovered very well, his internal injuries were almost completely recovered.

"Dong dong dong."

He knocked lightly on the door, and a woman walked out of the cabin.

She looked to be in her forties, her face was a little old, and her dark face was flushed.

Chen Xiaofan saw that it was not a girl, but a clansman, very strange, never seen before, he felt a little strange, why did the patriarch bring her to meet this person?
"Patriarch."

The woman glanced at the patriarch, then at Chen Xiaofan, as if she had something to say, but she was ashamed to say it.

Chen Xiaofan was confused, but the patriarch beside him spoke.

"Call Xiaogui out."

The woman looked a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she turned around and walked towards the room.

Chen Xiaofan looked at the patriarch suspiciously.

"Don't worry, you'll know later."

Waiting patiently, the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong came from the room.

After a while, the woman appeared in front of the wooden house again, and there was someone behind her.

Only the child who is half the height of a woman hides behind her, a little ashamed to see others.

"Xiaogui, come out, the patriarch will take a look at you."

The child called Xiaogui poked out half of his head quietly.

Chen Xiaofan's attention kept looking behind the woman, and when he saw the child with half of his head poked out, his heart exploded.

It was a boy, exactly like the one he had seen last night.

The boy's eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness, the moment he saw Chen Xiaofan his eyes were filled with tears.

The two looked at each other for no more than three seconds, and the boy burst into tears.

He turned around and ran towards the room, shouting as he ran.

"Mom, it's a ghost! Last night's murderous ghost!"

Chen Xiaofan looked embarrassed, needless to say, what happened last night was probably a misunderstanding.

In the boy's heart, he had already established the image of the evil spirit.

The boy ran into the house, and the woman at the door looked a little embarrassed.

"Patriarch Holy Son, the child is ignorant, so don't blame him."

"Yesterday he accidentally broke into the place where the Holy Son was convalescing, and he didn't do it on purpose."

Knowing the cause and effect, Chen Xiaofan didn't have time to think about it, and was about to comfort him, but the patriarch spoke first.

"You know the rules in the village. During this time, you must take good care of the children and don't let them run around."

"This is a dereliction of duty on your part and I hope it doesn't happen again."

The patriarch looked stern, and the woman was also green and white by his words.

Chen Xiaofan listened to what the patriarch said, so he couldn't say anything more, this is his village, and he has the final say on everything.

I just simply feel that the patriarch is not the same as usual.

Looking around, the busy clansmen heard the patriarch scolding the woman, they didn't respond, and continued to do their own things.

It is not the first time that he has been reprimanded like this.

The woman apologized again, and she was told that she was about to cry, but the patriarch let her go and let her take good care of the child so that no more accidents would happen.

Chen Xiaofan remained silent the whole time, without saying a word.

After reprimanding the patriarch, he took Chen Xiaofan away, and the two sat down at a table made of wooden stakes not far away.

When the little boy appeared, when the patriarch scolded people, until now when he was sitting in front of the wooden table, Chen Xiaofan remained extremely calm.

The patriarch looked at the calm Chen Xiaofan, and couldn't help asking curiously:

"Aren't you curious about things in the village? And that weird boy you saw yesterday."

Chen Xiaofan looked up at the patriarch, and said calmly:
"Patriarch, you brought me here to show me these things. Since you have already shown me these things, you must have something to tell me."

"If you want to say it, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, I can't guess it."

The patriarch glanced at Chen Xiaofan and smiled relaxedly.

"You're pretty smart, I do have something to ask you."

"Early this morning, Xiaogui's mother came to look for me. He said that Xiaogui ran out in the middle of the night yesterday, and then came back crying, talking about ghosts, ghosts."

"Is this what you did?"

Chen Xiaofan looked a little embarrassed.

"I did it. I don't know the identity of the child."

"The place where I live is already remote. Ghost shadows appeared in the middle of the night, and even ran to sit on top of me. He weighed me down so hard that I couldn't breathe. I could only do this."

When the patriarch heard Chen Xiaofan's justification, his expression was very indifferent.

"It's really not your fault, it's Xiaogui who has a problem."

Chen Xiaofan's curiosity was aroused.

"Look at the people in the village, except for that child, do you find any difference between them?"

The patriarch didn't say it clearly, and betrayed it.

Chen Xiaofan has observed the villagers a long time ago, he can answer without thinking too much.

"Patriarch, your body is very strong, but their aura is weak, and the blush on their faces is unhealthy, as if they have some kind of illness."

These words touched the heart of the patriarch, he stared at Chen Xiaofan curiously, seeing his calm face, it seemed that he was not guessing randomly.

"You're right. People in the village are not in good health, because they all experienced diseases when they were young."

"Illness?"

Chen Xiaofan asked suspiciously, the patriarch nodded.

"The child who came to look for you in the middle of the night last night, he was just an ordinary child before, but these days, his body is glowing and his weight has increased, which is the precursor of the disease."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaofan felt a little shaken.

He remembered clearly yesterday that the child was full of light, like a ghost.

So this is a disease?Everyone in the village has experienced it?

The patriarch changed the subject and suddenly said:
"Xiaogui is already ten years old."

"Ten years old?"

I couldn't believe it in my heart, judging from what I saw, the child was only five or six years old at most.

"Yes, ten."

The patriarch's complexion was a little pale, he sighed:

"A few days ago, he was still that tall."

The patriarch made a comparison with his hands, Chen Xiaofan looked at it, thinking that the Xiaogui he met yesterday was only half the height he said.

"This is the strange disease in the village. It will appear around the age of ten. The body shrinks and the weight increases. There is a faint will-o'-the-wisp on his body, and he will run around unconsciously at night."

Chen Xiaofan was silent after hearing this, there are really many strange things in the village, there are such things.

"You see the rest of the people in the village, they all went through the pathology when they were ten years old or so."

"Xiaogui is not the only ten-year-old child in the village this year. There are several other children. This happened to them."

There are a lot of strange things in the mountains, and the living environment in the forbidden area is not simple. Ten years old will have a catastrophe.

"leftover?"

Chen Xiaofan asked in a deep voice, he grasped the key point, the rest, in other words, some people in the village couldn't make it through.

The patriarch was silent for a while, and looked at the busy people in the village with dim eyes.

"Yes, there are still some people who didn't make it through. The number of people in the village used to be more than double this."

"Where did those people go?"

"They disappeared, disappeared into the mountains, and some would forever become ghosts like the ones you've seen, or become a plague on the mountains."

"Eh"

Chen Xiaofan let out a long sigh, life in the mountains is more terrifying than imagined.

"Is there any solution?"

Chen Xiaofan looked at the halo on the top of the mountain, and thought that there are so-called gods up there.

The patriarch also followed Chen Xiaofan's gaze.

"These people who can survive have been protected by the gods."

"Ok?"

Chen Xiaofan has doubts.

The patriarch went on to say:

"Over the years, once such things happen in the village, sacrificial activities will be held."

"The reason why the remaining villagers survived is because after the sacrifice, they had the protection of the gods and the disease receded."

"Sacrifice is not to pray for good weather, food and clothing, but to pray for the blessings of the gods, so that the children in the village will be cured and safe."

Chen Xiaofan pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

He has doubts in his heart, since the gods can make the disease fade, why not let everyone survive, his ability is limited?Or because of something else.

Chen Xiaofan was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

But having said that, since the children have problems now, sacrificial activities must be carried out.

The patriarch brought him here, presumably not simply to explain the situation in the village to him, let him see the life of the villagers.

Chen Xiaofan changed his mind, since he wanted to hold a sacrificial activity, he had to rely on the power of the gods.

In order to save herself, the saint offended the gods on the holy mountain, and the gods wanted her to turn the lie into reality. That's why Chen Xiaofan was adopted by the saint and adopted by the patriarch.

In this way, I'm afraid things have nothing to do with me.

Chen Xiaofan understands the reason for repaying kindness.

He thought for a while, looked at the halo in the clouds in the sky, and said to the patriarch:

"It's something I need to do, right?"

The patriarch pondered for a while, then whispered to Chen Xiaofan:

"The decree from the gods is that you and the saint should go to the holy mountain, pay respects to it, prove your identity, and recognize the god as the master and become its servant."

Chen Xiaofan rested his chin, looked at the clouds in the mountains, thought of the girl's smile, and pondered for a long time.

"it is good."
