When the old man said this, he glanced at Tu Nan meaningfully, and continued: "As a result, those poor children didn't even get to school, and they fell ill on the plane. It was a big news at the time, the plane made a forced landing, took them to the hospital, and died before the night's work. Seeing that the children were all dead and the cause could not be found, the police and the hospital there thought it was an infectious disease. By the time the news came, it was already a month later. ”

From then on, everyone turned to the teacher coldly, and cut him off all the necessities of life. He was originally a person who dreamed of being an educator like Tao Xingzhi, but here there was only his failure, no future, and everyone did not welcome him, so he left the return village. Then, within a few months, I heard about his death. ”

The old man sighed: "It's really pitiful for him, it's not good to engage in education, where to go, you have to come here." ”

"So, that teacher, how long has he been in the return village?" Tu Nan seemed to have found the crux of the problem.

"About two or three years."

"How many people are there in the return village?"

"Let's say there are 1,800 people."

"Do you recognize all these people?"

"Even if you can't name it, you can still recognize it when you see it."

Tu Nan hurriedly took out a photo of his mother from his bag and handed it to the uncle: "Uncle, look at this person, do you have any impression?" ”

The uncle frowned and thought for a while, and saw that Tu Nan's expression was a little complicated: "This person is a doctor, right?" ”

Seeing Tu Nan nodding, the uncle began to recall: "About four or five years ago, this woman came here for a while and stayed for about half a month, and it seems that she also heard that there is a curse here." Believe it or not, all life originates from water, and if there is anything here that people who come in, they will definitely come into contact with it, so naturally there is only water. In the whole village, there is only one well in the east, and no matter how you eat, drink, wash and cook, you will carry water from that well. ”

When she was done, she took a bottle of water and said she would go back and check it out, but no one has seen her since.

Tu Nan began to think about the logical relationship between them, several children who had lived in Huilai Village for nearly 20 years fell ill after only a day or two of leaving. The teacher, who had been there for two or three years, became ill a few months after leaving. My mother only stayed for half a month, and four or five years after leaving, she became ill. In other words, the longer a person lives here, the shorter the incubation period for the onset of the disease after leaving, and in summary, there must be something in the returning village that is not possible if the person who has been in contact with it leaves. Is it a reading? But the symptoms don't look like it?

Tu Nan suddenly remembered something, remembering that her mother had always had the habit of writing a diary since she practiced medicine, if she really found something, would she also write it down?

Thinking of this, Tu Nan thanked the old man and drove away, and the first thing he did when he arrived home began to look around for his mother's diary, and finally found it in a pile of miscellaneous items.

There are several diaries, Tu Nan found the record four or five years ago upside down, but found that a few pages were torn off with a ruler, this way of tearing things is the mother's habit, Tu Nan searched the whole house and did not find the pages of the diary that were torn off.

In other words, the mother probably knew the truth about the return village, but she didn't necessarily know the solution, otherwise she wouldn't have kept silent for so long since she became ill. But if you keep your mouth shut, why not be thorough and tell yourself about the village you have returned to before you die?

There was only one guess in Tu Nan's mind, that is, her mother had already speculated about the truth of the return village in the time she was silent, not to mention that she was afraid that the people who cared about her would risk it for her and harm others. And in the last moment, she may have realized something and found a way to save more people.

My mother is a doctor, and if it was only for her, she would never trouble others like this, the only possibility is that she found a way to crack it.

Tu Nan continued to flip back through his mother's diary, and after that, there was almost no record of the return village, until the end, and in the days before his mother's illness, he saw something worth pondering.

"After trying so many methods, I couldn't find any clues, and the curse finally crept in. The science of Western medicine is not quite the same, and it seems that I am going to pay the price for my conceit. ”——2016.11.25

"The origin of all things comes from water, and if you can't find the truth on water, it's really a curse." ——2016.11.26

"What to do? It seems that only Master Duan's method has been able to try, but if this is the case, what is the difference between me and death? It may also affect family members. ”——2016.11.28

"No matter what, no matter what, even if people die eventually, they don't have to compete with the sky." ——2016.11.31

"Maybe the truth is in that "Nanshui Gu Strategy"!" ——2016.12.1

Tu Nan knows who Master Duan is talking about at the moment, since she was a child, she knows that Master Duan is her mother's tutor in college, and that "Nanshui Gu Strategy", Tu Nan has also read it, but it is just some Gu techniques passed down by the Miao people, is it related to this?

If it's a Gu, it's not that simple. After all, the return village is also a village inhabited by thousands of people, what kind of Gu must be if it can make everyone fall into the Gu? Why do you want to do this?

Tu Nan found his mother's mobile phone and dialed Professor Duan's phone, and the person who answered the phone claimed to be Professor Duan's son, and Professor Duan had been missing for more than four or five years.

Tu Nan was disheartened, if it was as she thought, then Professor Duan might have been to Huilai Village long before his mother, and it was estimated that he would be more than lucky now. Mother said that Professor Duan had a way, but he didn't know what the method was, so he could only go to Huilai Village to have a look.

Tu Nan came to Huilai Village again, and the old man was still selling wontons there. Seeing Tu Nan coming, the old man's expression was a little subtle. Tu Nan didn't say much to greet, and took out Professor Duan's photo to ask the old man.

"He's in the west of the village." Although the old man's expression was not depressed, he didn't say much, but he knew that Professor Duan was still alive.

Finally, Tu Nan found "Nanshui Gu Strategy" from Professor Duan, as well as his mother's diary sandwiched in it.

Professor Duan said that a long, long time ago, there was a legend. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a general named Tang Yayoi in Huilai Village, who was a very ambitious person. After coming here, he got sick repeatedly, and his heart dominated the world, but his health was not good, so he could only succumb to this small place.

Later, because of his tyranny, many people left. Seeing that there were not many people left in this village, he was very angry, dissolved his blood in a jade pendant, and cursed the return village, and everyone who left this village would suffer from a vicious illness and die a tragic death.
