Chapter 457 Bear boy (2)
The nervous reactions of the children also made Zhou Faning's face look even more gloomy. It seemed that because of the children's appearance, he had not let outsiders contact them for a long time.
But the problem must always be solved. Zhou Faningqiang pretended to be smiling and explained to his children: "Don't be afraid, these are all masters invited by Dad to treat you."
Afterwards, Zhou Faning introduced his children in sequence. His eldest son was Zhou Qisheng, who was twelve years old at the time; his daughter was Zhou Xiaojin, who was ten years old at the time; and his youngest son was Zhou Qixi, who was only seven years old.
Although they cannot see their appearance clearly, it is not difficult to distinguish their identities just from their physical shape.
After the introduction, Zhou Faning ordered the three of them: "You all take off the veil and let the masters see it."
As soon as these words were said, the three children turned their heads and refused, "No! No! No!"
"If you don't take it, how do you know what disease do you have?" Zhou Faning raised his voice and saw that the three children were still indifferent, he looked at Zhou Qisheng and said, "Come on, Qisheng, you are the eldest brother. Come on and set an example for your younger brother and sister and take off your mask."
Zhou Qisheng still stubbornly refused and said, "I won't!"
Zhou Faning was a little annoyed and rebuked sternly: "When your child passed away, didn't you always promise her that you would be a good elder brother and a role model for your younger brother and sister? How did you become an elder brother?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qisheng was criticized for being behind and did not compromise. Instead, he cried out loud.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Faning also lamented.
Looking at the children's eyes full of horror and sadness, Pu Zixuan comforted with a pleasant look: "Don't be afraid, brothers and sisters have seen anything over the years. No matter what you look like, we will not make fun of you."
Chen Shuqing also bent down to make her height equal to the children, and comforted her with a kind voice: "Yes, we will not only not make fun of you, but will also cure you. But first we have to know what kind of disease this is. Can we take a look?"
After a moment of silence, Zhou Xiaojin finally figured it out and whispered: "I'll pick it."
After hearing this, Zhou Faning quickly praised, "My sister is the bravest! Be good, pick it."
So, Zhou Xiaojin reached out and slowly took off the mask, exposing his face to everyone without any concealment. During this process, both boys turned their faces away.
Just as Zhou Xiaojin's face was revealed, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath!
How could this be a human face? Her little face was covered with white hair, her nose became tall and protruded forward, and two fangs hung on the corner of her mouth.
Like a dog...not, to be precise, it's more like evolving towards a bear!
Fortunately, Pu Zixuan and others have long been used to strong storms. Otherwise, if it were ordinary people, they would definitely be scared to have a cardiac arrest when they saw this terrifying scene.
Zhou Faning couldn't bear to look at him and said sadly: "It's getting serious again, it's getting serious again... If this continues, it's going to turn completely into a monster... My children..."
At this time, Zhou Xiaojin said to the two brothers: "I have picked it, it's your turn."
Zhou Qisheng and Zhou Qixi still shook their heads stubbornly and said that they would not take off the veil.
Seeing that Zhou Faning was about to have another attack, Pu Zixuan quickly waved his hand and said to Xi Ni: "Okay, no need to pick it. I think these three children have the same problem, right?"
Seeing that Pu Zixuan had understood the situation, Zhou Faning stopped forcing the child and nodded and said, "Yes, the hair of the three people is different: the daughter's hair is silver-white; the two sons, one is brown and the other is light yellow." Then, he signaled his daughter to put the veil on again and asked Pu Zixuan: "Master, do you know what kind of disease is this?"
Seeing that the three children were in good spirits and did not look like those who were sick and weak, Pu Zixuan made a judgment in his heart as soon as possible: This was not an ordinary disease at all, and he was probably cursed by some magic. Moreover, the biggest possibility was that he met a monster and met certain conditions, which began to produce demonization. However, these judgments are not suitable for uttering them at present. First, he was afraid of scaring Zhou Faning and the three children; second, he also needed more information to make a more complete judgment.
So, Pu Zixuan asked, "When did this happen? Are there other villagers in this village who have similar situations?"
Zhou Faning sighed and said, "No. The whole village is just my family. As for when it happened... I think about it, well, it's been about eight or nine months."
"Eight or nine months..." Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "So, have any strange people or monsters come to your village during that time?"
Zhou Faning shook his head decisively and said, "I have thought about this question a long time ago. We are isolated from the outside world, and few outsiders come here. I am a carpenter. Although I often interact with others when I help carpentry, my customers are neighbors and there are no strangers. But..." At this point, Zhou Faning suddenly paused, and then, there seemed to be something unspeakable, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
"But what?" Pu Zixuan instinctively realized that Zhou Faning must have concealed some important information and immediately asked.
Zhou Faning sighed and said, "Oh, forgot, there are some things you can't say. If you say it, I'm afraid you'll be beheaded..."
Zhu Yuanliang snorted coldly and said, "What are you afraid of? You are not afraid of selling fake seal tickets, but you are afraid of telling the truth? Besides, we are not from the government. If someone from the government comes to cause trouble for you, we will vent our anger for you!"
Zhou Faning glanced at everyone with his eyebrows frowned, and after a while, he hesitated: "It was August last year. I did take the three of them to a place. Shortly after I came back, some hair began to grow on their bodies. As for which place, it was too sensitive and it was really hard to say... Masters, please tell me first, are you sure you are sure to cure their illness? If you are sure, I will say it even at the risk of beheading. If I am not sure, then what does it matter if I say it or not?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanliang said even more impatiently: "Why are you so verbose? We came to your house with kindness, but you were hesitant and vague. What should we do? If you don't say anything, we will leave." Then, he turned to everyone, "Let's go."
Pu Zixuan did not immediately express his opinion and was thinking about how to deal with it. Suddenly, a man's roar scream came from the yard downstairs.
"Zhou Faning, is Zhou Faning at home?"
Everyone immediately pulled their thoughts back. Zhou Faning was stunned for a moment, then walked to the corridor on the second floor, looked down, and then said to the lower part: "Oh, is it Mr. Li? I'm taking care of the child upstairs, I'll get down right away!"
The person below shouted, "You don't have to come down, we're going to search above, you're waiting on it!"
So, Zhou Faning was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, immediately turned around and ran back to the room, and said helplessly to everyone: "No, the government has been asked, and 80% are here to search for fake printing tickets!"
Pu Zixuan teased: "You are really bad at the government."
Zhou Faning said in vain: "Isn't it? I reselled the old version of the stamp tickets in the Great Wall area many years ago, and the government has long targeted me. It must be that they discovered the fake stamp tickets today, and many guards were injured, so they went out to search for the source of the fake stamp tickets. I didn't expect that they came so quickly... They not only knew me, but also you. Oh, what should we do now?"
Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, just welcome them, and in a while, I will just say that we are your relatives from afar."
"Ah? How is that possible?" Before Zhou Faning finished speaking, the footsteps of the officials' staff had already arrived at the door. He had to bite the bullet and pretend to be smiling and turn to greet him.
"Zhou Fanning, what are you doing in this room on the second floor?" After this question, three officers and soldiers wearing swords at their waists entered the room.
Seeing the people in the room, the three officers and soldiers were stunned. Then, the leader asked, "Why are there so many people in the room?"
Zhou Faning responded with a thorn in the air: "Mr. Li, they are all relatives from afar..."
"Relative? Are there so many elderly people in your family?" Lord Li said in confusion.
"What?" Zhou Faning was stunned by this question and looked back with a blank look on his face.
