Cultivation is practice...... Zhou Zhoumu said this as if he didn't say it.

Zhou Fan said helplessly: "Is there a monk in the village?"

This is the most important thing, if there are no monks in the village, where should he go to find monks?

"This ......," Zhou Yimu pondered.

Gui Feng said, "The two talisman elders in the village should be monks. ”

Zhou Fan's heart moved slightly, he felt that Gui Feng was reasonable, those two talismans looked very special.

Zhou Yimu added: "There are also Captain Lu of the village patrol and Muramasa Luo Ritian who seem to be monks too. ”

Then there were four monks in this way, and Zhou Fan couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure they are all of them?"

Zhou Zhou Mu said: "Afan, your mother and I are just ordinary people, and we usually talk about monks from some people, so I can't be too sure." ”

Gui Feng also nodded and said, "We only know that some powerful people are monks, as for the specific judgment criteria, we don't know." ”

Zhou Fanzhi frowned when he heard this, but he could understand it.

"Afan, the number of longevity and the matter of the monk can be talked about later. Zhou Zhoumu's face suddenly became serious, "Now I have more important matters to discuss with you with your mother." ”

"More important things?" Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment, what else is more important than longevity?

Gui Feng also suddenly remembered, she grabbed Zhou Fan's arm with both hands, looked at Zhou Fan with fixed eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Your father is right, there are at least four years left to live, but now the eyebrows are burning, my mother has to save your life no matter what, Afan, you go and pack your things first, and when it gets dark, you will leave this village." ”

"What?" Zhou Fan had a puzzled look on his face.

Zhou Zhou Mu suddenly shouted: "Guifeng, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Gui Feng hurriedly said: "I'm not talking nonsense, Ah Fan has to leave Sanqiu Village, do you want to watch your son die?"

Zhou Zhoumu showed a look of struggle on his face, but he quickly said dejectedly: "Of course I don't want to, but your idea won't work." ”

Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Zhou Mu and the two, and he asked, "Father, mother, what are you talking about, I don't understand at all, why don't I die if I don't leave the village?"

Gui Feng said: "Afan, don't interject yet, Yimu, why doesn't my idea work?"

Zhou Zhou Mu didn't speak, but went to push open the wooden door, glanced outside the house, quickly closed the door, and pushed the wooden latch on, locking the door completely.

Zhou Zhou Mu turned around and came back and said in a deep voice: "Speak quietly, otherwise it will cause trouble for outsiders to hear." ”

Gui Feng also suddenly became alert, and she lowered her voice in agreement: "You're right, we really have to be quiet." ”

Zhou Zhou Mu looked at Gui Feng and said coldly: "What is the difference between letting Ah Fan escape and sending him to death, have you forgotten that the village implements the law of joint sitting? Five families are together, ten families are together, mutual supervision, mutual reporting, if you don't expose it, ten families will sit together!"

Zhou Fan's face changed slightly, he had also heard of the law of joint sitting, if one family committed a crime, if the other nine families did not report it, the nine families would also be implicated and regarded as a crime, in ancient times, some dynasties adopted such strict laws, and I didn't expect that there would be here.

"Today's hair binding ceremony, the whole village knows that Fan'er's lifespan is nineteen, and the nine families in the vicinity have a very good relationship with us, but they will not allow Fan'er to escape and affect them, they may have been watching nearby. Zhou Yimu continued.

"And even if you are lucky, let Ah Fan escape from the village, it is so dangerous outside, Guifeng, how do you let Fan Er survive outside?"

Hearing Zhou Zhoumu's series of questions, Gui Feng's face turned slightly pale and tears flowed down again: "It was I who was dizzy and came up with such a faint trick, but if I don't escape, how can Ah Fan survive in the village, the village may come to our house later." ”

Zhou Zhou Mu sighed and said: "If you run away, you will die, but if you don't run away and join the patrol, you will die for nine lives, at least there is a glimmer of life, Ah Fan can only catch this glimmer of life, we must try to help him." ”

Zhou Fan had been listening, but the more he listened, the more confused he became, and he asked, "Father, mother, why do I want to join the patrol?

Zhou Zhou Mu frowned and said: "Afan, you forgot everything, I don't know if it's good or bad, you can't avoid joining the patrol." ”

"Because your lifespan is only nineteen, which is the short-lived species mentioned by the village rules, you don't have any choice but to join the patrol. ”

"Short-lived species?" Zhou Fan heard the new word again, "Does it mean that my lifespan is very short?"

"Anyone who lives under the age of 35 is short-lived, and those who are over 100 years old are long-lived. "Each of us is protected by the village and has the obligation to contribute to the village, and no one can violate the village rules." ”

"What if it is violated?" Zhou Fan asked.

Zhou Zhou Mu said with a cold face: "If you violate the village rules, you will be expelled from the village and left to fend for yourself, and the heavy one will ...... Even people like you will be killed. ”

Zhou Fan's heart was slightly cold, he almost forgot that this was not a civilized society under the rule of law, he felt that this village rule was very barbaric and unreasonable, but in the eyes of these people, it was a very normal thing.

Zhou Fan asked, "What is the danger of the patrol?"

Gui Feng's voice choked up: "Afan, the patrol team is to patrol outside the village, and many people die every year, and the people in the village secretly call it the death squad. ”

"Is it dangerous outside the village?" Zhou Fan couldn't understand this strange world now, and of course he wouldn't know what was going on outside the village.

Zhou Zhou Mu said with a headache: "Of course the outside of the village is dangerous, there are endless strange ghosts, and the yin ghosts you encountered yesterday are only the lowest existences, and the existence that poses little threat." ”

Zhou Fan shuddered, he finally had some understanding of the situation he was about to face.

Don't look at him, he still has four years to live, but if he is allowed to join the patrol team as an ordinary person, facing those demons and monsters who surpass the yin ghosts and ghosts, once he encounters one casually in the patrol, the current Zhou Fan does not feel that he can have a chance to survive at all.

No wonder his mother Gui Feng lost his mind and wanted him to escape from the village, and Zhou Fan himself couldn't help but think about running away.

But just now Zhou Yimu has made it very clear that it is useless to escape, even if he can escape from the patrol, he will have to directly face those dangerous existences when he goes outside, what does he rely on to survive?

Gui Feng cried again, she felt that her son was really miserable.

Zhou Fan just frowned, he was a little dazed, he didn't expect to fall into such a dangerous situation after only a few days of crossing.
