"She was afraid that it would affect your life, so she found a scarf to wrap around her neck. - But it was July, the hottest month. The villagers were curious about what was under her neck with a scarf. After all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and the tumor on her neck was finally exposed. The whole night village boiled, and the events of ten years ago returned to the memories of the villagers. ”

My dad looked at me, "Now you know why when you were three years old, your mother and I ran away from your hometown with you, right?" At that time, people were too ignorant, and they always thought that your mother's family was the source of the plague, and they wanted to catch your mother and me and bury our family of three alive. ”

"The life after escaping from the village is really hard, but fortunately, we are all smart people, and after a few years of wandering, we settled down in the place where you grew up. The tumor on your mother's neck is getting bigger and bigger, and the lipoma is ugly, but she's happy. The only worry is you, afraid of infecting you with your disease. We went to several hospitals, and we also studied systematically on our own and studied university courses. Only then did I understand that her lipoma was a genetic disease. ”

I muttered, "Genetic disease? My grandmother's surname is Shen, and my mother's surname is also Shen. Could it be that my grandmother and grandfather have been married by close relatives for more than two generations? ”

"Yes, you kid is smart enough to guess so quickly." Dad nodded: "It's not just as simple as getting married by close relatives. Their grandfather and grandmother are brothers and sisters, and your grandfather and grandmother are also brothers and sisters. As a result, the children born have genetic diseases, and even their own genetic diseases. Shen Hongyi's family was excluded from their own ethnic group because of the marriage of two generations of close relatives in a row, and they couldn't stand it anymore, so they ran away with Shen Yunxing and accidentally came to live in an isolated night village. ”

"What about Mother? What happened to her in the end? Didn't you say she left angrily because of the divorce? A bad premonition swirled in his mind, and he didn't need to answer, he had already guessed the answer.

Sure enough, Dad's tone was lower: "Speaking of which, you should have guessed it too." Your mother died fourteen years ago, and I was afraid that you would be sad, so I lied that she left on her own. ”

Everything is understood, the 'mystery' and 'confusion' of myself for 14 years, the 'mystery' about my mother's life experience, and the mystery about her running away have all been solved. But deep in my heart, there is a trace of pain. Maybe I don't know, I live ignorantly, but I just think that she was angry with her father, then maybe it's better.

Lin Zhiyan, who came over to eavesdrop at some point, obviously didn't know that my life experience was so complicated, so ups and downs, sighed slightly, and patted me on the shoulder to express condolences.

The guardian 'woman' squatted quietly on the ground, snuggling up to my big 'legs'. Big eyes full of worry.

I was stunned for a long time before I took a breath, and my voice was hoarse and low: "What else I don't know, but what I should know, just say it all." I can still bear it! ”

"Worthy of my son. In fact, worse things have happened since then! My father looked at me appreciatively, and tears flashed in his eyes: "When you were ten years old, were you curious why I brought you back to Night Village?" ”

"I've always been very curious." I nodded: "With your stinky temper, there must be some unavoidable reason." ”

"All in the middle. When you were ten years old, maybe you don't remember. But I remember it vividly! It was October, and I found that you also had two red spots on your neck that were exactly the same as those of the Shen family. Dad said.

I was stunned again and stammered, "But I'm still alive, and I don't have a lipoma on my neck!" ”

"Yes, you're still alive. Maybe that's a miracle! Or maybe it's your mom who blesses you in heaven! Dad drank the wine bottle in his hand in one gulp: "At that time, I was anxious and about to die, so I took you everywhere to see a doctor." I'm afraid that you'll be worried, so I've never allowed you to look in the mirror. Fortunately, if you don't look closely, those two red dots are like traces of mosquito bites, and they are not noticeable. The doctors in the major hospitals are helpless about your case, just like they can't treat your mother. Genetic defects cannot be compensated for in a limited amount by 'medicine', but can only be alleviated. ”

"One day, I suddenly remembered that there is a legend among the NightClan. It is said that the ancestors of the Ya family passed down a strange treasure that only the head of the family knows where to hide it. It is a treasure that can cure all diseases, even bring the dead back to life. Desperate, I returned home with the last shred of hope. Dad sighed and said, "Fortunately, after I left, people from the night house at that time also walked out one after another." Night Village is not as closed and ignorant as it used to be. Knowing that what you have is nothing more than a non-contagious genetic disease has also eliminated the fear of the Shen family, and all that remains is guilt. ”

"When I asked your old immortal grandfather if the Night House was guarding a treasure that could bring the dead back to life. My Lao Tzu flatly denied it, he said that there was no such thing in the house at night. I thought he was reluctant and had a fight with him. Eventually, he took out his treasured books, and I realized that the Night House really didn't have that thing. So I despaired again! Dad suddenly laughed: "Not long after, it happened that you met the ghost of Shen Hongyi. And spit out that terrifying tumor, what is very surprising is that we all thought that Shen Hongyi was taking revenge on the Ye family. Perhaps, we were wrong. Maybe it's not your grandmother's ghost that you've seen, but your mother! ”

"How is it possible, how can there be ghosts in the world!" I snorted, hiding the fact that my whole body was trembling.

"Then how do you explain it, when you spit out all those weird tumors. The next day, I was amazed to find that the two red dots on your neck were completely gone? Dad retorted.

I was completely dumbfounded: "Really gone?" ”

"Not bad. After that, I took you out to many large hospitals for examination, but I couldn't find anything unusual. Previous genetic defects have been compensated. The previous medical examination report surprised the doctors who followed him, believing that it was two people at all. I'm the one who took other people's reports and ran to fool them! Dad laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes. I sneered: "When you left, did you sell me to the old fox?" "Nonsense, how could your grandfather let us leave without signing an agreement that you would come back as an adult and become the patriarch. Stinky boy, you've taken advantage of it. The guardian 'girl' was chosen by yourself when you were two years old. Dad suddenly laughed.
