Xiaohua pointed to the decadent old man with messy beard and gray hair who was holding a wine bottle not far away and was still pouring wine wildly, and suddenly shouted and screamed, his voice was sharp and hoarse, as if he had suddenly met a ghost and changed a person.

Doesn't this little girl look quite calm?

Xia Chenghao glanced lightly at Xiaohua, who suddenly screamed, his face was calm, without the slightest wave, he chuckled, and said unhurriedly, "Have you seen Li Xiao before?" Take a closer look! ”

His smiling voice seemed to have some kind of magic, like a spring breeze blowing, which made people involuntarily feel at ease. Xiaohua also knew that she was too surprised, her tone was a little abnormal, she took a deep breath and adjusted her feelings, "Hmm! I've seen it! This person does look very similar to Li Xiao, could it be Li Xiao's father or grandfather? ”

Xia Chenghao had to admire Xiaohua's quick response, "Didn't you notice that he called someone just now?" Do you hear me clearly? ”

"...... Lena"

"Li Xiao's father and grandfather didn't know Lina so coincidentally, right?"

Xia Chenghao's eyes moved slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a shallow smile hung up, "Progeria!" Ever heard of it? ”

Xiaohua suddenly realized!

In fact, I have seen pictures of Progeria patients on the Internet before, but most of them are children, with alopecia areata, wrinkled and loose skin, tooth loss, a flattened nose, a small face and chin, which is extremely disproportionate to the size of the head, sunken eyes, and looming age spots on the skin of the cheeks and arms.

If the person in front of him is really Li Xiao, then his symptoms happen to coincide with the symptoms of Progeria.

But isn't Progeria also called Progeria in children? It seems that all children have the disease, but adults can also have premature aging? ”

Xiaohua is still skeptical.

Xia Chenghao looked at the old drunkard who was not far away, and sighed in his heart.

In fact, Li Xiao was his high school classmate, and he was a talented school grass that swept the whole school. How many girls flock to it. Now, who can believe that he will be so depressed because of love.

Shaking his head, Xia Chenghao sighed. "Genetic mutations lead to this strange disease! Researchers from the National Human Genome Institute, the Progeria Research Foundation, the College of New York State, and the University of Michigan have discovered that Progeria is caused by tiny variations in a single gene. Studies have shown that a protein gene called LaminA in the human body is mutated and induced. LaminA is mainly responsible for the interconnection between the nuclei, and once it is mutated, the nucleus will be in an unstable state, accelerating the development and aging of the human body. Its speed is equivalent to eight times the normal speed, which leads to premature aging. So, it can happen at any age. ”

"Genetic mutation?"

Xiaohua was taken aback, because her mind immediately showed all kinds of monsters that appeared in Hollywood blockbusters, some because of alien directors, and some because of human beings' own attempts to guide them.

"That person ......" Xiaohua pointed with her finger, "is it really Li Xiao?" Will he turn into a monster? Can a monk still grow his hair and drink wine? Could it be that the Jigong wine and meat that he learned were pierced through the intestines, and the Buddha kept it in his heart? ”

Xiaohua wanted to use a sneer to mediate the relationship, but it was completely counterproductive. It's not a taste in my heart.

Previously, on the stage of Dongye, that Li Xiao could be described as radiant, not only in his eyes, but also in his whole body, at least 100,000 volts. Even the silent and arrogant Li Xiao in the audience is also charming, but now, she is already dying, what a beauty is in the twilight, sad!

the world. and a beautiful man disappeared out of thin air.

Xiaohua sighed, but her hands did not relax at all to take pictures and videos.

She estimated that if she sent it to Chen Lina, she might cry when she saw it! Because, she felt that the corners of her eyes were also slightly moist. It's not that she's too vulnerable. It's just that the picture in front of me is too poignant.

"Turning into a monster?" Xia Chenghao's heart was also depressed, and the previous smile was mostly a bitter smile, but at this time, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "You think too much!" Brainwashed by Hollywood blockbusters! He's not going to turn into a monster, but ......"

Xia Chenghao said half of it. I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart, what a good brother back then, the three major schools of Wuling City No. 1 Middle School, they occupied two of them, and now goodbye, not to say goodbye, but time is short.

"What does he want to do, who can stop him? Li Xiao's adult Progeria is much stricter than that of ordinary people, but he refuses to cooperate with the treatment, and he is unwilling to take vitamin C...... Already has begun to enter the ...... Countdown ......"

Xiaohua's hand trembling as she was shooting a video of her mobile phone.

"You mean, he's running out of time?"

Xia Chenghao didn't speak, just nodded silently, and he was also full of sadness and emotion in his heart.

"Chen Dong!"

Xia Chenghao looked at Xiaohua strangely.

Xiaohua has stopped shooting and turned on the traffic switch and WeChat.

This time, she let go of it and started a video call, which made her feel distressed and tormented by the consumption of traffic and power.

Chen Dong...... I'm not going to say anything, see for yourself......"

Xiaohua quietly approached Li Xiao, who was still unconscious, and pointed the camera at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao seemed to hear a strange but familiar voice from the mobile phone, slowly turned his head, and took a sip of wine, his old face was dull and silent, his hair was gray, his skin was wrinkled and loose, his eyes were sunken, and there were extremely obvious age spots on his cheeks and bare arms, like mottled wormholes dotted by wind and frost on the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.

"Where are you? Who is he? ”

Chen Lina's voice was shocked, and she was obviously a little excited, as if she had sensed something.

He ...... Is it Li Xiao? ”

Chen Lina's eyes were really sharp, and she could see at a glance who the man in the lens who had already changed in essence was the man.

"You actually met the elderly Li Xiao? Where the hell are you? ”

Chen Lina's affection is obviously out of her control, and her tone is extremely exaggerated.

"Not long after you died, Li Xiao became like this! Take a good look at it! I think he should be like this for you! ”

"Li Xiao......"

Although Chen Lina was surprised, she was as smart as her, and she obviously understood most of it.

"Lena! Lina ...... Is it really you? ”

The old and muddy voice was a little slurred, and Xiaohua was worried for a while.

Li Xiao obviously heard Chen Lina's voice, put down the wine bottle, and took the initiative to get to the mobile phone camera. (To be continued.) )
