David heard his voice and almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

What?

The first one is yourself?

Among the thirty-eight people, eight people were selected every day in a month. From the perspective of probability, it is indeed a high probability that he was selected, but it was a bit beyond his expectations that he was the first to be selected today.

Tonight is his birthday!

"David?"

"Is this old Dai son? He is already nineteen years old?"

"Look, isn't he just like that!"

Countless people's eyes were projected in unison and looked at David.

"You... are you nineteen years old?" someone asked.

"Well, yes, yes...yes. Actually, today is my birthday."

When everyone heard this, they all started to "ah".

"Uncle Zhao, why don't you forget this time? Let David have a good birthday first?"

"Yes, I just turned nineteen today, so you put their names in the lottery box."

But then, opposition voices appeared: "Why!"

"That's right, why!"

"The regulations set by the village chief must not violate them!"

"Okay, OK!"

Although Mr. Zhao is older, he is obviously getting stronger and stronger, and he is full of energy. He said, "Everyone is quiet! It's so noisy, it looks like it is!"

David bit his lip and said, "Since it is the village's rule, I should naturally abide by it."

Although the village is small, it is still in a human circle. If he sets this precedent, the Dai family will be easily seen by some people in this village in the future.

David didn't want to make his parents embarrassed. After all, this is the rule that has been passed down in the village for ten years.

He raised his head, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous inside.

As a result, when I went to find Captain Lin in the afternoon, it seemed a bit like... I was just cramming for a while.

Soon, Mr. Zhao continued to draw lots. Everyone also listened to these names quietly.

And when all the names came out, the news quickly spread throughout the Nanmeng Village.

noon.

"This, David, you have to patrol your birthday today?"

David's mother said anxiously: "I'm still thinking about letting Captain Lin explain some precautions to you then! This... how can this work!"

Dai Lan also became anxious: "Brother, are you going so soon? Tonight?"

David nodded: "Well, yes. I can't do anything about it, no one let Mr. Zhao draw me? This is the village rule, and I can't violate it."

"Since it's a rule, there's nothing we can do." David's father sighed, patted his shoulder, and said, "Anyway, this will happen sooner or later."

"Dad," Dai Lan grabbed his father's hand and said, "What does patrol look like? I asked you before, but you refused to answer me."

"You are still young, Dai Lan, there is no need to know."

"I've heard everything the villagers said!" Dai Lan wiped her tears and said, "And... two years ago, Teacher Ge, who taught us, never came back after he went on patrol one night!"

"There must be some dangers." David's father knew that he could not put too much psychological pressure on his son at this time, and said, "David, don't think too much, follow others, pay more attention, generally there will be no accident. The most important thing is to never enter the white fog area. Even a strand of hair cannot touch the white fog!"

"I see."

The matter about Baiwu is repeatedly reminded by everyone in this village.

"Okay, have a meal first. After the meal, I will take you to Captain Lin's place immediately."

Dai Lan held her father's hand and said, "Dad, do I have to join the patrol when I was nineteen?"

"Yes. Every villager has to do this, this is the rule. It is true for both men and women."

When Dai Lan heard this, her eyes began to burst into tears.

"But, girls are born weak, and if it's those days, do you have to draw lots to participate?"

"Okay, stop asking, Dai Lan." Mom patted Dai Lan's hand and said, "It's just a bit dangerous to go patrol, but if no one goes patrol, our small village will be over."

She noticed the tears at the corner of her daughter's eyes, and immediately squatted down, wiped off her tears, and said, "Okay, stop crying, stop crying."

This lunch is destined to be not very smooth.

"David!"

As he was eating, David's mother suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "You...you must be very careful!"

"I, I know..."

"Listen to me..." Mom didn't care about Dai Lan's presence and said, "Remember, try to be more than one meter away from the white fog. Don't worry, the white fog will never spread. When patrolling, observe what others do. You must hold the bamboo pole firmly, 100 million... Don't fall to the ground! Some of the terrain is a bit slanted. If the bamboo pole falls off, you may roll into the white fog area! Hold it firmly, you must hold it firmly!"

"Also," Dad began to be unable to hold back, "If a team member accidentally enters the white fog area, or if you see them being caught by something, you must not save them! You should pretend that you didn't see anything! No one will blame you, everyone in the village knows this rule."

"Hey, dad, mom." At this moment, Dai Lan asked a question: "This snow won't stop at night, right?"

When David's parents heard the question raised by their daughter, they looked a little ugly.

"this……"

"Yes, it's a problem!"

All year round, no matter the cold and heat, there must be people in the village patrolling the Baiwu area at night.

It snows heavily and the sky is dark. When patrolling, you cannot be too far away from the white fog. Not only does the flying snow affect visibility, if you slip, the problem will be big.

"It's all fate." David's father sighed and said, "We have no choice, we can only accept it."

David could see that his parents were full of fear of the white fog area.

In fact, who is not like this in this village?

The village of Nangong, this small village as big as a palm, has been completely shrouded in this white mist since ten years ago, and then a "tea temple" appeared.

From that day on, Nan Meng Village has been isolated from the world and has never waited for the rescue team they hope for. Countless elderly people and children in the village, and relatives who work in the city, can never meet again.

Ten years, the difficult ten years passed like this.

"Okay, David, come with me, I'll take you to find Captain Lin."

"Okay, dad."

After picking up the bacon, David and his father left the house and walked into the snow outside.

Now, not only is it snowing heavily, but many of the ground is frozen and very slippery.

This made David worry about the evening patrol...

For the past decade, he had almost never approached the White Mist area, where... it was too dangerous and terrifying.
