Chapter 299: The Child's Cry
But soon she realized that something was wrong.
No matter how dark the night was, no matter how bad her eyesight was, it was absolutely impossible not to see the dense crowd of people under her, not to mention the strange roars that could not hear the specific meaning, which was the most impressive sound when she was almost eaten just now.
Those are not ordinary people, but man-eating monsters!
In addition to those creepy roars, Wakasui could also hear strange sounds similar to chewing. Ruoshui knew that this was an area where man-eating monsters were rampant, and she didn't dare to think about what the sound meant, only the direction in which they were heading, and such monsters were showing an exponential trend of terror. Finally, Luo Liangsheng no longer insisted on moving in a straight line, but turned in another direction.
After discovering that there were fewer and fewer monsters in his line of sight, Wakasui finally put back in his stomach because of his heart that had been suspended by extreme fear.
This kind of rapid running did not last long, and Luo Liangsheng soon found a new place to stay, a field that looked not much different from the previous house, and even more complete than the previous one.
It's just that what is frightening is that it seems to be a window with wooden planks nailed inside, and there is a faint orange light shining through!
This orange light, which was obviously the light of a candle, accompanied Ruoshui until late at night when she had to get up early in the morning to prepare the goods to be sold at the morning market in order to make a living. It's just that the candlelight that made her feel full and warm in the past makes people feel extremely terrifying at the moment.
Anyone who has ever been attacked by a man-eating monster. In this terrifying city of Aksu, there will be no more belief in miracles. This light-lit house only proves that there must be people inside, in Ruosui's opinion. But as for whether it's a monster or a normal person inside, Ruoshui prefers the former.
No, or rather, even if there was a nine-in-a-nine chance of being a normal person, Ruoshui wouldn't dare to take this risk to break through this door, because she really didn't want to see that kind of monster again, even if it was just a glance.
However. Legs are grown on other people's bodies, Ruoshui could only watch Luo Liangsheng cautiously approach this private house, but he didn't even have a chance to ask.
He stood at the door and observed for a long time. Wakasui felt like a whole year had passed. The roars and chewing sounds that made people tremble were long gone, presumably because they were far away from the hard-hit area where the monsters gathered. It was so quiet that Ruoshui even began to suspect that his heartbeat was the loudest sound so far.
Luo Liangsheng put Ruoshui on the ground, and Ruoshui's legs were weak. Almost fell to the ground. Luo Liangsheng helped her. He patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and then continued to focus on the door of the house in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and pushed the door for a moment, and then was surprised to find that the door was actually hidden, and only a light push revealed a crack in the door.
However, there was only this crack in the door, and Luo Liangsheng tried harder. I found that it seemed to be blocked by something, and I could only push open this narrow crack in the door that even children couldn't pass through.
It was at this time. Ruoshui suddenly heard the cry of a child coming from the crack in this door, and in this dead night, this cry had already taken on a bit of a poignant color.
"Cool ......"
Ruoshui grabbed Luo Liangsheng's arm tightly, and he was so scared that he almost cried. Luo Liangsheng was also startled by this cry, but after waiting for a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he held Ruoshui's hand with his backhand, and the other hand was filled with real power, and when he pushed the door again, the door made a muffled sound of "bang" and was pushed open.
Due to the light in the house, when the door is opened, the situation inside the house is clear at a glance.
The first thing that caught his eye was a person, a person lying on the ground without moving, and even the movement of Liang Sheng pushing the door didn't make him move at all. So Luo Liangsheng quickly determined that this person had at least fallen into a coma, and it was even very likely that he had died.
After making sure that the person lying on the ground was no longer dangerous, Luo Liangsheng pulled Ruoshui into the door cautiously.
There were some pieces of wood scattered around the door, which looked like they should be used to support the door, but when Luo Liangsheng pushed it, it collapsed and scattered on the ground.
After entering the house, Luo Liangsheng closed the door again with his backhand, and there was a lot of dry firewood pushed next to the door, and he picked a stick of suitable size and thickness from it, and put it on the door again.
The child's cry came from the back room, and when he entered the door, the cry became clearer, but in the light it was not so unacceptable.
Because it sounded like there should be other people in the house, Luo Liangsheng just glanced at the person lying on the ground a few times, and after making sure that he was indeed dead, he followed the sound and walked towards the inner room.
The furnishings of the back room were very simple, with only two wooden beds, one large and one small, and a round table of the most ordinary style, and there was not even a stool in the whole room. The crying child was under this round table, his two little hands were clutching the table legs beside him, and after seeing Luo Liangsheng and the two people coming in, he tried his best to restrain his crying while hiding behind the table legs.
It's just that it's a round table with thin legs, how can it stop her, the child's face is covered with blood, and he looks indescribably pitiful.
Even if he was a little scared when he heard this cry before, after seeing this child, Ruoshui was already left with only sympathy and pity.
She wanted to go over and comfort the frightened child, but for the child, her proximity was even more frightening, so Ruoshui could only stand not far from the child, squatted down, and said to the child in the gentlest voice possible.
"Little girl, why are you here alone?"
This is a little girl who looks like she is only about seven or eight years old, because she is about the same age as Ruoshui's younger brother Xiaoyong, so Ruoshui pities her even more.
It's a pity that the little girl didn't buy her account, she refused to answer her words at all, and shook her head desperately, and her choked voice became extremely loud.
Ruoshui's original intention was just to comfort, but he didn't want to make the child even more scared because of his relationship, so he could only slowly retreat again, and helplessly spread his hands towards Luo Liangsheng, saying that he was really powerless.
"It's okay, it's not too late for you to talk to her when she's calmed down. There's a monster like that, and this kid must be frightened. ”
Luo Liangsheng patted Ruoshui's shoulder and comforted. (To be continued......)
