The house is very large, and the overall layout of the room makes me feel as if I have entered a miniature library, with small bookcases almost everywhere, and even a wall of bookshelves in the living room.

The three of us were invited into the living room by him, and then Wen Qinan began to set up the tea table and began to boil water and make tea.

It's the first time I've come to Fujian, but I've always heard Xiaoxiao say that Fujian people love to drink tea, and basically have a meeting every day or something around a tea table while drinking tea, as if it is uncomfortable if you don't drink a few cups of tea every day. And the tea set here in Fujian is also very particular, which looks much more high-end than the simple set in my office.

At this time when Wenqi Man was making tea, Xiaoxiao also called to find a car repair to solve the problem of tires for us. As the man said, the garage said it would take at least two hours to get here, and we really had to wait here.

The tea was brewed quickly, and Wen Qi Nan said while pouring tea for us: "Are the three tourists tourists?" ”

"No, our main purpose is to investigate the Blood Forest, the one behind this village. Haven't asked your last name yet? I took the tea and asked.

"Don't have your surname Sun, a single name is a strong character, and you are strong."

Wen Qi Man introduced himself, and the three of us also reported our respective names and surnames to him.

After a brief pleasantry, I asked him about the woods and the children we saw in the woods sucking the blood that came out of the trees.

"Actually, I've done research on this as well, oh, I forgot to tell the three of you, I'm a doctor, and I have some research in genetic diseases." Sun Jian replied: "Many people in this village will get a strange disease, which is very similar to porphyria. ”

"You mean vampire disease?" I snapped the conversation.

Sun Jian was visibly surprised, as if he didn't expect me to know about this disease.

"What? You know ......."

"I usually like to write novels, so I dabble in some messy knowledge, and this happens to be what I'm interested in." I said.

"Oh, that's a great writer! Disrespectful and disrespectful~"

"Why!" I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "At best, I'm a writer, but a writer can't talk about it." Or is it this disease in the village, you say that it is similar to porphyria, that is to say, the root of the disease of the people in the village is not the same? ”

"Hmm." Sun Jian nodded and said: "You know that porphyria is much easier to explain to you, porphyria is a hereditary congenital disease in most cases, the main clinical manifestations are skin lesions, light sensitivity, and complications such as viral liver damage. However, the people in the village do not have these clinical signs, and the melanin in their skin will be greatly reduced, causing their pupils to appear dark red, but they are not photophobic, and the human body of the sick person will become abnormally good, and the six-year-old sick child can almost be equivalent to the average adult male in liliang. ”

"Are you sure you can call it sick? How do I feel like I'm evolving? I asked jokingly.

Sun Jian immediately shook his head and said: "I haven't finished talking yet, these are just the side of haode, while strengthening their physical fitness, these patients will also have various physical impairments, such as intermittent loss of hematopoietic function, accompanied by myocardial spasm, myocardial infarction and a series of other symptoms, and may die suddenly at any time." And in this condition, these patients develop a bloodthirsty urge. This is similar to porphyria. ”

"Is it blood that comes out of the trees in the Blood Forest? The three kids we saw before had the variant of hemoporphyria you mentioned? I asked.

"Mutant blood porphyria?"

"Well, I just said that casually."

"No, no, no, that's a good way to put it, let's call it that first. The three children you see should be suffering from this variant of blood porphyria, and not only these three children, but also many other children have this disease, and it is precisely because of this disease that the people in the village are inseparable from this blood forest. ”

"So, you mean that this liquid is really blood?" I asked, and I took out the "tree blood" I had collected from the trunk earlier.

Sun Jian shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not really blood, but it is very similar to the composition of blood, and the taste is very similar, they can not only mutate the negative symptoms caused by blood porphyria, but also cure this disease fundamentally if you eat for a long time." However, there is an old saying that 'medicine is three poisons', this kind of blood tree sap diet will also have side effects, it will be addictive, and it is very difficult to quit addiction, once the control is not good, the already cured variant of blood porphyria may recur. ”

"So the adults in the village are basically normal, but the children are almost all mutant blood porphyria patients, and they want to drink tree blood very much, but the adults are afraid that they will be addicted so they control them, so they can only sneak out and drink it? Is that so? I interjected again.

"That's right!" Sun Jian finally nodded to my question this time, "And the bark of these trees is very tough, and it is difficult to cut the bark if it is not particularly sharp." Looks like you've got a good knife. ”

"His knife is pretty good, and it's even better at cutting meat." I smiled and praised—my hands had experienced the sharpness of Qiao Wei's knife.

We were laughing and laughing, and Xiaoxiao, who was on the side, gently poked my ribs with her fingers, and then winked at me vigorously, as if she wanted me to say something.

I couldn't figure out what she was trying to mean, so I simply asked, "What do you want to say?" Just say it? ”

"Yin Qi! Don't forget what you're here for! Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and reminded me.

After hearing this, I immediately reacted, we didn't come to Fangjia Village this time to find out what blood porphyria, but to confirm how the remnant souls in the blood forest came from. So I hurriedly said to Sun Jian with these words: "Doctor Sun, I want to ask if you know that there is a blood forest at the entrance of the highway in the direction of the city?" ”

"Hmm. I've heard people talk about it, and I've seen it in person, but the trees there don't shed this blood-like sap, so it's probably all misinformation. ”

"Oh. Has there ever been a murder and blood in Fangjia Village? As far as I know, patients with hemoporphyria can develop into murderers in extreme cases. "I steer the issue further in the direction of extremes.

Sun Jian's expression suddenly became serious, and the smile that had been hanging on his face before completely disappeared.

He was silent for a while before he spoke: "This thing really happened, but it didn't kill anyone, it was just that someone went crazy and bit someone." As I told you before, forced addiction can cause a recurrence of hemoporphyria, and that accident was caused by addiction. ”

"Are you sure you haven't killed anyone, like dismembering corpses or anything like that?"

"Well...... this" Sun Jian hesitated, obviously he couldn't really be accurate on this issue.

"Forget it, let's not talk about such a heavy topic." From Sun Jian's reaction, I can also guess that there must have been murderous and bloodthirsty things in this village, maybe Sun Jian didn't want to find out about the matter, or maybe he was also a strict person, and he didn't want to talk nonsense about things he hadn't seen with his own eyes.

I was about to return the conversation to the cause of the mutant blood porphyria and the cause of this tree, but just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt my head start to feel a little dizzy, and the things in front of me were ghosted.

"Why......" I wanted to ask what was going on, but I only spat out one word, and my whole body was completely out of my control, and then I was carried to the tea table at once.
