late at night

Shanghai

A small river in Putuo District

There are few people walking here, and it is quite quiet at night.

"Da-da-da-da-da-"

Not far away, a young man and woman walked up, holding hands and whispering softly, obviously in love.

"Then we'll go on a trip at least once a year from now on—"

The woman seemed to be looking forward to the days to come.

"No problem, give birth to a honeymoon baby every time you go!"

The boyfriend made the woman "giggle" and laugh again and again.

"Daddy—Daddy—"

As he was walking, the man felt that his trouser leg was dragged a few times, and when he looked down, it was a little boy of three or four years old, looking at him blankly.

"I'm going home—"

The little boy said with tears in his voice.

"Little friend."

The man looked around and couldn't see anyone else, and couldn't help asking, "Where are your parents?" Or other elders? ”

"Daddy—Daddy—"

The little boy was still shaking the man's pants and pointing in the direction of the river.

"Are you separated from your parents?"

The woman said to herself, feeling pity in her heart, and then stroked the little boy's head and comforted:

"Little brother, don't worry—will my sister take you to Daddy?"

"Daddy! Father! Go home—"

Two young men led the little boy down the steps, and the woman held her boyfriend and smiled secretly, which felt like a family of three.

"Daddy! Go home—"

There was no way to go, and the man stopped.

"Daddy, come home—"

But the little boy still dragged the man and said.

Only, he pointed to the center of the river.

The man and woman looked at each other, a little panicked.

"This child's parents can't fall into the river, right?"

"Go home—go home—Daddy—"

The man broke free of the boy's small hand, took out his mobile phone and pressed the alarm number.

"Hello, this is the 110 command center...... 呲呲呲呲......"

"Why is the signal so bad?"

The man complained, and then called his girlfriend.

No response.

"Hmm...... Uh-huh-hmm......"

When the man heard the abnormality, he turned his head sharply, only to see that his girlfriend was no longer around, and he looked at it, but saw that his girlfriend's upper body had been submerged in the river, and his legs were constantly moving, and black shadows were dragging around him into the river.

Seeing this, the man ran over like crazy, and just after wading into the water, he felt that he was tripped by something under his feet, and slapped it face down.

"Daddy—come home—"

I saw the figure of the little boy just now appear from the river, dragging the man's naked feet.

"Little brat! Hurry up! ”

The man said angrily, pouring a few mouthfuls of water into this shout, and kicked a few times in a panic.

only to find that the little boy's strength could not break free!

"Go home—go home—go home—"

"Ahh Yes! ”

The little boy picked up one of the man's legs and walked towards the river in a daze, and the man's body was dragged a little bit...... Frightened, he shouted.

The river was cold to the bone, and the man grabbed his surroundings indiscriminately, and suddenly his body tightened, and he hurriedly looked, only to see countless small hands stretched out from the water and pressed on the man.

"Dad-Mom-Home-"

"Go home...... ...... home."

"Don't ...... No...... Save ......"

After a few moments, there was no more movement......

With a loud bang, a light shot from the shore, and in the center of the river, the already quiet water suddenly exploded.

Two figures flew out of the river and rolled down to the grass, and when they looked closely, it was the pair of young men and women who had been dragged into the water just now, still breathing, and only fainted.

"Go home—go home—go home—"

I saw countless little heads poking out of the water and singing low until the whole body slowly rose to the surface of the water, and floated towards the two people lying on the grass.

"W-h

A cold light swept by, hitting this group of petite figures, and the figures touched by the cold light dissipated in an instant, but after a while, they reappeared from the shore and slowly returned to the shore.

"One by one, so cute......"

A quiet sound came, and I saw two figures standing under the street lamp not far from the river.

"Mommy-Daddy-Home-Home-"

Seeing the attacker, the little voice stretched out his little hand and floated over. It's just that when they are far away, they all stop, as if they are afraid of something.

"If you don't come out again, I won't let you go!"

Looking through the street lamp, it was a very peugeot-looking woman who spoke, with blue eyes and brown hair. Next to him stood a man, also handsome and tall.

"Huh...... Heh......"

There was a hoarse laugh floating from the direction of the river, and when the laughter fell, he asked gloomily, "What are you two doing here?" ”

With this voice, I saw a hunchbacked old man with abrupt eyes and nose and long tongue spread out of the wide mouth, and a scrawny hunchbacked old man "crawled" out of the river.

"Child-eating ghosts."

The woman snorted in disgust.

These two people are Lan Lan and Sang Man. I saw Lan Lan holding a piece of paper in her hand, looked down and asked, "Is this the 'Yin Yang Street' of Putuo Park?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The hunchbacked "child eater" nodded with his long tongue against the ground, and stared at a "wooden bow" in Lan Lanlan's hand very cautiously.

The two items in Lan Lanlan's hands were given by "Uncle Xu" in Tianzifang more than half a year ago. The paper recorded some addresses, all of which were relatively "special areas" in Shanghai, and some of them were outlined as those that Lan Lan and Sang Man had already explored. Just like in the human world, the ghosts and gods also need to be bribed and demanded, and during this period, they have to rely on the Xiaoli bounty to eliminate the ghosts to make up for the two, but so far, they have not received useful information.

Today's place is a street next to Putuo Park, the old Shanghainese call it "Yin Yang Street (Boundary)", it is said that during the Republic of China, there were many "rolling cages" on the banks of Suzhou Creek where a large number of poor people lived, and many dead people were hastily buried here, including many infants and young children, and the name of "Yin Yang Street" was derived.

The heavy sinister aura of this place has attracted this "child-eating ghost", so for many years there have been rumors of children being abducted by traffickers in this area, but who knows that the evil spirits hidden in the river are at work?

When Lan Lan left Tianzifang, Uncle Xu handed over a delicate "yang bow" to him for self-defense. It is rumored that the material of this bow is taken from a feather arrow used by Emperor Yao's archer Dayi, which has the attribute of the yang, and the yin ghost is extremely afraid of this thing, and what is more valuable is that it is not harmful to mortals. It's just that this child-eating ghost doesn't know about something......

The Yang Bow and Arrow Feathers are now exhausted!
