When Liang Tianyu saw us, it was when we were attacked by unknown ghosts.

He rushed out of the small building on the street as soon as possible, wanting to come and join us, but he was entangled by an unknown object on the way, and he was slightly delayed.

During this time, he heard the conversation between me and the fat man, and understood what he had encountered these days. So he made a quick decision and imagined a torch specifically for ghosts.

The next thing happened to me later, after Liang Tianyu got rid of the entanglement of the unknown object, he rushed forward a few steps, threw the torch in his hand to us, and then rescued us, and finally came here.

Speaking of which, we have learned about Liang Tianyu's experience, but there is still a question that deeply bothers me that has not been answered.

"Liang Tianyu, have you seen Senior Chen?"

"Senior Chen, I didn't see you, is he here too?"

"Senior Chen came with us, but he ran away in advance, just such a street, where can he go?"

I shook my head, walked to the window and looked out, and the darkness of the night covered the entire market, and there was no light in sight.

Judging from what happened just now, when we met those Red Guards, Senior Chen turned his head and ran, definitely not simply afraid of those Red Guards, he definitely found other strange things before running away.

With his status as a top student of the ghost academy, he should be like a fish in water in such a ghost town, and there is not much danger.

I went back and discussed with the fat man and Liang Tianyu, and finally decided to stay in this small building for the time being tonight.

That's it. I spent the night in horror, and when the darkness receded and the light came, I could see the whole picture of the market.

From the street to the end, visually, it is only two kilometers at most, and if you stand a little higher, you can see all the buildings in the entire Ye County.

But except for this street, everything else was covered in thick fog, and the sky was white. You can't see the clouds or the sun.

I stood on the roof of a small street building and looked down the street. Expect to be able to see something different.

Because I have a god-given spiritual eye, I will definitely be able to discover more things than Liang Tianyu, if this Ye County is a ghost town, I should be able to see the ghosts living here.

However, the truth is. I didn't see anyone or anything.

Is this really an empty city? Not a ghost town?

That's not right. If it's an empty city, where did those man-eating ghosts come out last night?

I believe that there must be more than me, Fatty, Liang Tianyu and Senior Chen here.

Because if you think about it from another angle, this is a dream. It's still a dream of the female ghost Huang Wanru being subjected, no matter what, she should always be here.

Huang Wanru came up with such an empty city called Ye County, I think she must have lived on a street in Ye County in her life. Something happened to her, and she died of fear. The greatest wish of the average dead person is to be able to change what happened before they died, so that they can not die. But death has become an established fact, so they can only attach this hope to dreams.

For example, in Huang Wanru's first life, the real cause of her death was strangulation by her biological father. In order to change this, the choice she made was to pull Xu Yusheng into the dream and let Xu Yusheng be her bodyguard and shield.

For another example, in Huang Wanru's second life, the real cause of her death was that she was deceived by her, practiced reincarnation Dafa, and finally her family was beaten to death by a few college classmates. In order to change this, the choice he made was to pull Han Dongjian into a dream and let Han Dongjian be her puppet and scapegoat.

Now is Huang Wanru's third life, and I just said that she died of fear. So in order to change this, she pulled Zhang Haiyang into a dream, and then ...... Then let Zhang Haiyang give her courage?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh myself, if I just found someone to give myself courage, Huang Wanru would have done these things too much.

There must be other reasons, but I haven't found out yet.

Now let's call the fat man and Liang Tianyu and go around the market together to see if we can find something useful.

With this in mind, I turned around and was about to go downstairs to call someone, but at the moment I turned around, a moving object suddenly appeared at the end of my eyes.

There's someone over there!

I subconsciously moved a few steps in that direction and looked up, and saw that in the second half of the market, a thin figure was climbing up to the cage drawer in front of a bun shop.

It was a little boy, and I saw him struggling to open the cage drawer, reaching out and taking out two buns from it and stuffing them into the small cloth bag he was carrying on his back, and then jumped off the high platform and swaggered into a nearby fruit shop.

Oh my God, I saw a child in this uninhabited ghost town!

I didn't have time to think about it, I turned over and jumped onto the balcony, returned to the house, and forcibly pulled up the fat man and Liang Tianyu who were still sleeping.

"Lao Yan, what are you doing?"

"Quick, come with me, I just saw a child!"

"Kid, you're crazy, how can there be a child here. ”

"There really is, I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, hurry up and catch him first. ”

I took the lead and rushed out of the street building and went straight to the fruit shop that the boy had just entered, but when I entered the store, I didn't see any living creatures at all.

Oh no, I didn't see the kid running out just now.

Is there a back door here?

Walking around the shop counter to the backyard, I saw a small ladder erected on the side of the wall, climbed up the ladder and looked to the other side, it was the backyard of a dyeing workshop, all kinds of dye vats were full, but I couldn't see the child I found earlier.

Well, yes, the kid must have climbed up the ladder to the other side and then left here by another path.

The other party is very young, and he shouldn't be able to run far at this time, so he has to catch up quickly.

Thinking of this, I rolled over and was about to jump to the other side. But halfway through the action, he was suddenly pulled off the wall.

"Lao Yan, slow down, what are you running around, don't you want to die?"

"No, why don't I die, I really saw a little boy just now, he must have run over there, it's too late for us to chase after him now. ”

"What are you chasing, if there are really children. Why didn't Liang Tianyu find out after so many days? I dare say. What you see is definitely a little ghost. As the saying goes, Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult, you can't capsize the boat in the gutter!"

"Why did the boat capsize in the gutter. Which imp have you seen. Steal your own buns and eat them. Eighty percent of that child was alive. ”

"Living? Old Yan, what did you say he stole from?"

"Buns. ”

"Where's the buns? I'm hungry!"

"Damn, you foodie! It's a dream, you're hungry. Hurry up and follow me to find someone!"

"No, I'm hungry in my dreams, you find me buns first. ”

"You ......"

I was completely speechless at the fat man, and I wanted to give him a few fists to eat.

And at this moment, Liang Tianyu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly shouted: "Don't quarrel with the two of you, have you found a problem?"

"What's the problem?"

The fat man and I turned our heads and asked in unison.

Liang Tianyu turned around and took out an apple from a bamboo basket in the corner of the courtyard and shook it at us.

"Did you two notice, this apple is very fresh. ”

"What's wrong with freshness?"

"That's not right, it stands to reason that this is an empty city, a ghost town, and no one has lived in it for a long time. How could there be such fresh fruit here!"

"Uh...... It seems unlikely. However, Liang Tianyu is a dream here, no matter whose dream it is, you can't use common sense to consider these things. ”

"It can't be understood by common sense, but no matter what anyone's dreams are, he should always have something that conforms to common sense. Come and see these fruit baskets. ”

Liang Tianyu said, overturning the surrounding baskets one by one.

"You see, there are so many fruit baskets here, and there is nothing in them except a few peaches that are dried up and only the pits are left. Besides, there is not half a fruit in sight on the front façade. Why did you just put something in this basket?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Liang Tianyu's words, the fat man and I let out a sound of surprise in unison, and immediately ran to the front hall of this fruit store to take a turn.

As Liang Tianyu said, the inside of the store is very clean, so clean that you can't even find the peel. It feels like the owner of the store emptied the entire store before leaving.

So the question is, why did he leave a few apples in the corner of the backyard after he had moved everything away?

Okay, jump out of the fixed thinking mode to think about this matter, it is not the owner of this store who leaves the apples, but the owner of this dream, Huang Wanru, so the question is, what is Huang Wanru doing here with a few apples?

The more I thought about it, the deeper the doubts in my heart became, and I called Liang Tianyu and the fat man to walk towards the bun shop next to me.

I remember that the kid was here to get the bun before.

Reaching out and opening the cage drawer at the door of the bun shop, a smell of meat wafted out in an instant, and a little steam could be seen coming out of the cage drawer.

Seeing this scene, I was completely stupid, what the situation, there are still hot buns here!

"Liang Tianyu, didn't you find this problem before?"

"No, I would have looked inside this cage at that time. Who would have thought that in a place where there is not even a living person, there can be hot buns. The same goes for the apples in the back, and when I saw that the room was empty, I took it for granted that all the baskets were empty. If you hadn't kicked the wall just now, I wouldn't have found those apples. ”

"Have you ever seen a child before?"

"Of course not, if I had seen it, I wouldn't have told you a long time ago!"

"What's going on?"

Everything in front of you is easy to understand, but it only needs to be blamed on the fact that this is a dream, and everything is conceived by the dreamer. The owner of the dream wants to have hot buns in the cage drawer, so there must be hot buns in it, and even if he wants the buns to go to the sky, the buns have to grow wings to fly up.

However, the problem is that this is a dream, and the dreamer's mind is really difficult to understand. At the very least, he wouldn't make something out of the ordinary for no reason, and if he did, it would prove that it meant a lot to the dreamer. But how much point can a few apples and hot buns have?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I thought that I should go and catch the little boy first, so I looked up and called the fat man to find someone together.

But I didn't speak, and the fat man shouted out.

"Hey, Lao Yan, this bun tastes good. You also taste one. ”

"Holy, fatty, who let you eat here?"

"No one wants it, why can't I eat it? Liang Tianyu, you can have one too." These days, don't you feel sick to your stomach when you eat the steamed buns you have made all day long?"

"Uh......"

The fat man's other words didn't stimulate me, but this sentence hit my heartache. Last night, when it came to the question of how to live here, Liang Tianyu said that he would eat some of the food he imagined when he was hungry these days. As a result, the food and everything came out, but it didn't taste good at all. I made a point of letting him demonstrate this ability last night, and then I ate a few dishes he conjured, and I wanted to die.

At the thought of these things, my stomach growled with hunger, so I just didn't do anything, and the three of us divided the remaining three buns. After eating the buns, there was no need to leave the apples alone, and the three of us even divided the apples.

Filling our stomachs, the three of us followed the few traces left by the child and searched all the way.

Since he stole the buns, it proves that he wants to eat the buns and can eat them, and just like us, the child should be a living person. A child so young living in such a strange place, if you want to say that it's okay, the ghost doesn't believe it.

We followed the small ladder to the dyeing shop opposite, and then through a small door in the dyeing shop to the backyard of a pastry shop.

In the pastry shop, we found four more pieces of peach cake on the table, and some scraps left around them, proving that the little boy had been here.

Passing through the front door of the pastry shop, there is another private school academy, and there is nothing to pay special attention to in the front hall, but in the back of a wing room that has been transformed into a library cabinet, we find small picture books scattered all over the place.

The more we follow the traces left by the little boy, the more we feel that this little boy is not simple, because all the routes he has walked are exactly as if they had been designed a long time ago, from eating to drinking, to playing to wearing, nothing has been left behind.

I firmly believe that if you catch him, a lot of things can be explained.

But as if the heavens were trying to play tricks on us, when we followed the trail to the backyard of an ordinary household, we still did not see the child, but from the root of the wall, we saw a dog hole that was obviously crawling.
