Everyone quit the old man, and before going to the birthplace, they had to go to the Yang clan chief's house in the old man's mouth.

Man Yeqing asked in a low voice: "Uncle said that when we came in, we saw the curse of heaven and the punishment of heaven, but ...... Is it these scenes of defeat? ”

Duan Zeyang shook his head, "According to what the old man said, what do you think?" ”

Man Liuli said suddenly: "Don't, seeing is believing, hearing is false." Remember, explore the source of the source, the responsibility is at stake. However, there is no word. ”

Jian Fanzhen looked at her and nodded.

"Yes." Mu Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Crunch ......"

Suddenly, a little boy jumped out of the door, drooping, holding a fruit pit in his hand, running to hug Mu Chaoyang's thigh, and said inarticulately: "Brother...... Brother, eat ......"

Seeing that Mu Chaoyang lowered his head and didn't dare to move, Man Liuli took his handkerchief and wanted to step forward to wipe the saliva from the corner of the little boy's mouth.

It's just that when I saw the little boy, I subconsciously made a movement in my hands.

The little boy had no pupil in his left eye, a white membrane, and his right eye, although normal, was drooping at the corner of his eye.

Man Liuli regained her expression, wiped the saliva from the corner of the child's mouth, and smiled gently: "Is it good to give the fruit to my sister, my sister also wants to taste it." ”

The little boy was also defenseless, and handed it to Man Liuli again.

Man Liuli took the kernel and wrapped it in a handkerchief, then untied his soul pouch and took a fresh fruit from it.

Man Liuli couldn't help but thank Chef Zheng again in her heart, which was stuffed by Chef Zheng for her.

The fruit is very fresh and has droplets of freshly washed water on top.

Man Liuli gave it to the little boy and smiled: "Huh, my sister will exchange it with you, and taste my sister's." ”

"Thank you...... Xie, sister...... Sister. The little boy borrowed the fruit with joy.

As soon as Man Liuli stood up, many children suddenly came out of the alley, ran around them, and stretched out their hands to ask for fruit.

There is not enough fruit, and these children ......

Some stutter, some have missing fingers, and some look like they're teenagers but behave like they're three or four years old...... They surrounded the group.

Man Liuli finished dividing the last fruit and stood in place in a daze, looking at the dirty little hands that stretched out.

Jian Fanzhen stood in front of him and began to figure out how to leave.

"Do you want to eat fruit?"

Behind everyone, there was a sudden hearty voice of a teenager.

When the children heard the noise, they stopped what they were doing, and they all looked up as if they had seen something scary, and they all ran away.

The group turned to see a teenager carrying water standing behind them.

The young man knew the number of courtesies, put down the flat burden on his shoulders, stood up straight, and bowed his head slightly: "You don't have to be afraid, children are just naughty, and there is no need for malice." ”

With that, he picked up the water and prepared to leave.

"This son." Jian Fanzhen stopped him, stepped forward and saluted, "We are disciples of Ruyun Academy, and we have something to discuss with the patriarch of the Yang clan. ”

The young man was a little stunned: "You ......"

Jian Fanzhen said again: "I still hope ......"

"Come with me."

The group hurriedly followed.

Yuming Kemu Chaoyang hurriedly went over to help, pushing back and forth, but the young man still insisted on picking it himself.

On the way, the young man said, "How far have you come from outside?" ”

Yu Mingke was close to him and said, "We came from Ruyun Courtyard and rushed for two days. ”

The young man smiled: "In this way, it is really a lie to cross the mountains and seas through the deep forest. ”

"Do you want to get out?" Mu Chaoyang asked.

"Nope." The boy replied with a smile.

"Here we are." The boy put down the water on his shoulder and skillfully poured it into the water tank in the courtyard.

Then a girl ran out of the house, about the same age as everyone else.

The girl ran into the young man's arms and said, "Brother...... Brother. ”

The girl's eyes were bright, but her demeanor and intelligence were the same as those of the children just now.

The young man took out a fruit from his arms, wiped it on his sleeve, and handed it to her: "Yun'er, go, go to your mother." ”

Such a move, everyone present is well aware.

Sure enough, the young man learned the way Jian Fanzhen saluted just now, "Yang Yang Long, sister Yang Yun." My father has not yet returned from his outing, so you have come from afar, so you can stay at my house first.

If you are looking for your father as an urgent matter, can you tell me a thing or two, Yang Long will definitely help. ”

The group also hurriedly returned the salute and introduced themselves.

Everyone followed Yang Long into the house, and Yang Yunzheng smirked and snuggled up to a woman with cloudy eyes.

Yang Long said: "This is my mother's mother." ”

Everyone saluted Mrs. Yang again, and Mrs. Yang kept her eyes on the door and never moved away.

Yang Long said again: "After my father went out, my mother has been staring at the door like this, please don't be surprised." ”

Duan Zeyang stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask, when did Madame's illness come from?" ”

"For as long as I can remember, my mother has been like this. Listen to the old men of the tribe...... The mother herself urinated like this. ”

Yang Long's expression gradually dimmed.

Duan Zeyang said again: "I know some medical skills, can I take the pulse for my wife." ”

"Duan Gongzi, please." Yang Long said happily.

Duan Zeyang's hand slowly lifted from Mrs. Yang's wrist, looked at everyone, and then looked at Yang Long, and said apologetically: "It's all because Zeyang's medical skills are not good." ”

Yang Long took a deep breath and comforted: "Duan Gongzi, don't worry about it, our Yang clan is cursed by heaven and punished by heaven......"

Yang ...... Young Master Yang. Man Yeqing suddenly spoke, and he didn't know if it was because the light in the room was dim or the atmosphere in the room was depressing, so he didn't dare to make too much noise.

Man Yeqing said again: "Do you know when the heavenly curse and heavenly punishment began?" ”

Man Liuli also nodded.

Yang Long lowered his head and said slowly: "I don't dare to jump to conclusions, I just saw this disease when I was a child, but I ...... at that time."

"As a child? More than ten years ago? Manliuli asked.

"Yes...... No, it isn't. Yang Long turned his head and looked at his mother, "I heard my father say that a long time ago, our Yang family planted the root of the curse.

Children who were previously born were able-bodied, healthy, and able to speak and laugh. I don't know how long later, the body of a child in the tribe changed.

The height IQ has been stuck at seven or eight years old, and there is no change, and everyone thought that the child had eaten something by mistake, so they didn't care about this mutation.

After a few more years, the newborn children are no longer as simple as stopping growing, and some ...... Some are born with deformed children.

The midwife said that this kind of child who is sick from the womb is most likely because there is no pure sin in the path of reincarnation, and this life is here to harm the world.

The adults believed the words of the mother, and took these children out and buried them alive in the Yang cemetery, without erecting an inscription. ”

"Live...... Bury! Man Liuli exclaimed.

Yang Long didn't dare to look directly at Man Liuli, "Later, there are more and more children like this, and there are fewer and fewer children who have no symptoms."

These children also include her sister Yun'er, Yun'er's illness is sometimes good and bad, and when she is good, she can even cook and wear clothes, and when she is bad, she ...... I don't remember my father, my mother, and me. ”

"Knock knock......" There was a quick knock on the door.

Yang Long hurriedly got up and went to open the door.

At the door stood a stout big man with the foot of the slope, and the big man shouted at the door: "Yang family child! What did your dad come back to? ”

Yang Long said: "I really don't know, Yang Long has lost contact with his father......"

The big man pushed Yang Long, "If you don't come back, you will go immediately!" You will pay back the sins created by your ancestors, and don't let us suffer with them! ”

Yang Long lowered his head and stopped talking.

Dahan was angry, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to move roughly, Duan Zeyang acted quickly and grabbed Dahan's wrist.

As soon as the big man wanted to scold, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw that there were several people sitting in the room, and said hatefully: "If the heavenly curse and heavenly punishment descends again, don't blame us for being polite!" ”

The big man threatened, glanced at the room again, and left unconvinced.

Yang Long closed the door and forced a smile: "Let everyone laugh." ”

Duan Zeyang said: "It's okay for you to have nothing to do." Patriarch Yang ......"

"Father, I only told me that he was going out to look for the five directions, looking for the five families, and then there was no news." Yang Long sighed.

"Young Master Yang." Man Liuli stood up, "Patriarch Yang is in front, or is the old man who came a while ago in front?" ”

"Liuli ......" Man Yeqing hurriedly grabbed Man Liuli's sleeve.

How can he be so bold to call Zhu Jiao an old man.

"Old man?" Yang Long thought for a while, and then said, "What did Miss Liuli say, but that Mr. Zhu?" ”

Man Liuli: "Yes, it's him." ”

Yang Long: "My father is in front, and Mr. Zhu is in the back." ”

Man Liuli said again: "Yang Gongzi relaxes, Patriarch Yang must have gone out, otherwise Mr. Zhu would not have come." ”

Yang Long smiled again on his face: "Miss Liuli, this is true!" ”

"Seriously!"

Yang Long hurriedly ran to his sister and his mother's side, and said excitedly: "Mother, Yun'er, my father is out, and we will be reunited soon." ”

The moon was on the treetops, and there were no lights in the whole tribe, and the streets were very quiet.

Yang Long packed up two empty rooms and came out for them to live in.

At night, Man Liuli remembered what happened today, turned over and over again and couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and went outside the house to try the Yunli color fan.

As soon as Man Liuli took out his fan, a voice came from behind him.

"Why is this so conclusive?"

Man Liuli slowly turned around and looked at the person who came: "Doesn't Gongzi Jian think that Patriarch Yang has gone out?" ”

Jian Fanzhen was also a little suspicious in his heart, and he also thought that Patriarch Yang must have gone out, otherwise the news would not have spread so quickly.

However, it is difficult to say whether this generation of people who have lived in the mountains will be able to quickly keep up with the changes in the world after they go out.

Jian Fanzhen approached her: "What do you think of what happened today?" ”

Man Liuli slapped her forehead with a fan and said worriedly: "What kind of curse and punishment do you believe in?" ”

"Tracing back to the ......"

"Let's be blunt." Man Liuli didn't know whether she was alive or dead with a fan against his shoulder, "Do you want to say that this matter should be investigated from more than ten years ago, even when the Yang family first settled here." ”

Jian Fanzhen looked at the folding fan in her hand with a cold light.

Keman Liuli disdained, put away his folding fan, slapped it in his palm without a moment, and continued: "Heaven curses and heavenly punishment, it is simple to say, and complicated to say complicated. ”

"Why?"

"Jian Gongzi, have you ever heard of intermarriage?"

Jian Fan Zhen saw the figure standing in front of him, and he was a little confused, who was she.

Jian Fanzhen listened to Man Liuli again: "When we entered this tribe, we saw the mother and son, and then we saw the group of remnants...... Children.

At the time, I didn't understand what could be causing this. Later, when I saw Yang Gongzi carrying water, I wondered if there was a problem with the water source.

Because there is another special substance that determines whether a village can survive forever, and that is water. ”

Jian Fanzhen's eyes lit up, because he wanted to discuss the issue of water with her.

"Click." The last fan.

Man Liuli held the fan, and her brows gradually frowned: "But we came to Yang Gongzi's house and listened to what he said.

Oh yes, and the old man's talk. They are telling us the same message: seclusion, seclusion.

If you want the tribe to survive and the people to prosper, there is only one way, to get married. "Get married."

The word marriage, the two blurted out at the same time.

Jian Fanzhen's first reaction was to think of him and her.

And Man Liuli said excitedly: "Ha, you are actually listening carefully!" You didn't move your eyes, I thought your thoughts were already flying. ”

Jian Fanzhen's face was cold again.

Man Liuli felt that this was the normal state of Jian Fanzhen, and said: "This marriage chain is like a newly planted tree." The taller the tree grows, the longer the roots will become, and there will always be a few roots that will become tangled. ”

"Entwined roots represent close relatives?"

"Yes!" Man Liuli showed a teachable expression, "The closer the blood relationship between the two, the greater the possibility that the offspring will suffer from genetic diseases or chromosomal recessive diseases."

Conversely, the more distant the blood relationship, the less likely the child is to develop these invisible diseases. ”

"Chromosomes?" Jian Fanzhen asked.

Man Liuli patted her head and scolded in her heart: Let you talk more, let you talk more, how to explain it......

"Huh?" Jian Fanzhen asked again.

"This chromosome it ...... It's ......" Man Liuli's expression was funny, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke: "It is literally." ”

Jian Fanzhen looked at her lightly, not daring to puncture her blunt explanation.

Seeing the opportunity, Man Liuli changed his words: "In short, you just need to remember that the diseases that exist in the Yang tribe now are caused by the marriage of close relatives.

We just need to explain to them why. The patriarch of the Yang clan and his ancestors were able to wash away such grievances.

But...... Looking at what the old man meant, they still have a grudge against the patriarch of the Yang clan and those ancestors, and they don't hate it at all. ”

"Now, it's not time to explain." Jian Fanzhen suddenly spoke.

"Why?"

"Birthplace."

When Man Liuli heard this, goosebumps broke all over her body again, "You don't think so, their population disappearance is self-directed and self-acted......

If you feel that your child is deformed, you throw it away...... threw it into the sacrificial pit, and blamed it all on the heavenly curse and heavenly punishment......"
