This is what my grandmother told me when I was a child, it was at noon one day, under the elm tree, and I went to break a branch, and a red liquid really flowed out of the fracture, and I never dared to approach the elm tree at night after that.

Later, I saw a similar report on a TV commentary program, and the scientific explanation was that the branches of trees contain metal salt ions, which are oxidized by oxygen and turn red when they meet air, but I never thought it was that simple.

Before I knew it, I had come to the elm tree, where the village gathered to chat during the day and after dinner, and there were very few people today, all of them were old people.

"Yo, God is back" An old man with gray hair and a dry cigarette in his mouth said, this is the old Dong head, everyone calls it that.

I smiled politely and said, "Hello Grandpa Dong, there are so few people today?" Why didn't everyone come out to chat? ”

"Now the whole village is panicking, and the young ones don't dare to come out to chatter because of that thing." The old king said.

I found a clean piece of land, and then I made it, and asked, "Then why did you come out again?" ”

"We? The people who have entered the coffin with one and a half feet, what is so terrible, it is better to die early! Lighten the burden on your children! Mrs. Sun shouted loudly.

This voice is not only harsh but also very loud, and even shocks the ears, this is not next to Mrs. Sun, she began to back her ears when she was old, so she spoke loudly.

How can you say that? If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, this is a blessing for children! I said comfortingly.

Hearing this, these old people sitting under the elm tree all showed a smile on their faces, and praised me for being sensible and able to speak, this is from my heart, not to make the old man happy, if I don't have grandma and grandpa around me, my life will be a lot less warm and beautiful haode memories!

I chatted with the old people for a while, and then I started to get to the point, I didn't come here to join in the fun, and I got down to business.

"When did the strange illness of the children in our town begin?" I asked without a word.

At the mention of this, the old people showed an expression of disbelief on their faces, "About a month ago, I lived for more than 70 years, and I have never heard of such a strange thing, a child can age dozens of years old if he is good!" Old Dong said with a frown.

The old king took it and said, "It's not good! It is said that someone in our town has done a big bad thing that damages yin and morality, and God punishes our descendants and makes the town cut off children and grandchildren! ”

"Many young couples have sent their children away, and they don't dare to stay in our town!" Mrs. Sun said in that piercing voice.

"What age is this, and I still believe in feudal superstition, which is estimated to be just a genetic mutation disease. By the way, did the whole town get the disease, or did it start from village to village? I asked with an important clue in mind.

The old king scolded with a smile and said: "You little boy, I remember that you were still cultivating with Li Laodao when you were a child, how can you still say that you are feudal superstition?" ”

For a moment I was speechless.

"People are college students now, of course, they must have the values and shijie views of college students!" Mrs. Sun said very unexpectedly.

"What are you doing looking at me like this? I heard it on TV! Mrs. Sun seemed to be pleased with everyone's reaction.

I was helpless, these old people took the topic away, and no one answered my questions.

Old Dong Tou noticed my expression, hahadaxiao, and said, "It started from one village to another." ”

"Didn't there be a stranger in the village before the kid got sick?" I continued to ask.

Lao Dong Tou snuffed out the dry smoke in his hand, then lit another one, and said: "The villages in our town are all poor and remote, where will anyone come." ”

"Who said that there wasn't a fortune teller a month ago?" Mrs. Sun retorted.

"Don't say it, that fortune teller is very interesting, all children don't need money to tell fortunes, sometimes it's quite accurate, even Liu Xiaozi once broke his balls can be calculated!" The old king said hurriedly.

When I heard about this fortune teller, I had a hunch that this person should be a hooded cult, otherwise he would not have to give free fortune telling to children.

"Do you know where that fortune teller is?" I asked hurriedly.

These old men were confused by my suddenly anxious expression, "Tianyou, didn't you let Li Laodao tell your fortune?" Mrs. Sun asked.

I had to pretend to be a little shy and say, "I still want to find someone to calculate the future." ”

"This fortune teller lives in one village for three days at a time, and then changes villages, and I don't know which village he is in now." The old king shook his head and said.

At this time, the phone in his pocket rang, and it was the second uncle of the village elder.

"God bless, the list of sick children in the town has been counted, and they have all been notified, and the town health center will gather at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and do as you instructed, saying that the experts from above will come to see a doctor." The polite voice of the second uncle of Lao Li came from the other end of the phone, since he met the mayor of the town, he has been like this, and he is not like before to treat me as a junior, no matter what I say, I have to be like this.

I already had a plan in mind, so I said, "Well, I know, second uncle, just let the mayor come to my house tomorrow to pick me up." ”

After chatting with these old people about family life, they returned home.

After a night of silence, the next day came the mayor of the town to pick me up in his own car, and told me some information on the way, and there were 14 villages in the whole town, and 12 of them had children with diseases, and there were 83 sick children in total.

One of the characteristics of our town is that the 14 villages are distributed in a curve from northeast to southwest, and the sick villages are just extending from the northeast to the southwest, and now only two villages in the southwest have no sick children.

I've heard the old man say that this Ziyin Demon Gong starts by absorbing the true yin and true yang of seventy-seven forty-nine children every three years, then ninety-nine eighty-one every five years, and zuihou absorbs one hundred and eight every ten years!

Looking at it this way, this person's Ziyin Demon Skill has been practiced to the later stage, and he is a little apprehensive in his heart, and he doesn't know if he can get rid of this evil way.

After arriving at the town health center, the whole courtyard was full of people, and all the sick children came from the whole family, so how could their own children sit at home and wait for news, so they must not die in a hurry.

"Everyone, be quiet! Let me introduce to you, this is Zhao Tianyou, a college student at XX University! I came to show this strange disease to my children! The mayor shouted as he stood in the doorway.

"Huh? We get up early in the morning to bring our children to the doctor, don't we say that we are experts? How is it a lad? ”

"Isn't this the grandson of old Zou Tou?"

"Yes, we are from a village, and I have never heard of him being able to see a doctor?"

For a while, the whole yard was boiling, who thought that the mayor would introduce me, I had to whisper to the mayor: "Let them hold the children and line up, I want to see them one by one." ”
