Chaoyang District

Fossil Camp

In the mid-to-late 19th century, before the "Third Ring Road", a large area of bungalow resettlement was built here, and it is now known as "shantytown".

Sometimes being a man is just so unauthentic - the originally wide street is simply connected to a shed and coal stack along the side of the road. When the neighbors saw it, they followed suit, and they just wanted to take advantage of it cheaper. In the end, even this shed and that stack were no longer satisfied, and they built a bungalow apartment with beds and started renting it out for a living. As a result, no matter how kind people are, they can't sit still, and the population swells, and even larger "shanty towns" form in shantytowns......

"Woo-woo-mm......"

A cry came from the streets and alleys of the fossil camp, and it was autumn, and the rain continued, and the water on the ground had become a stream. The street lamps in this alley have long been unattended, and the time is just past zero, even if the cry is a little noisy, no one wants to go out to find out.

"Dash...... Da ...... Da-da-"

Although the fossil camp is dirty, it is a convenient path in the northern section of the CBD in the bustling area, and office workers who are familiar with this area will often choose to pass through here. With this cry, a figure approached at the mouth of the alley, and the high heels kept knocking on the ground.

A dark hip skirt, a small suit over a thin knit sweater, hair just above the shoulders, and a pair of rimless glasses, a very standard white-collar dress.

"Girl......"

The woman was just about to enter the alley, when a very old voice suddenly sounded behind her. The former was taken aback - no wonder that in the middle of the night, it was so terrifying. The woman cautiously glanced to the side, only to see an old man in ragged clothes curled up in a corner looking at her, her wrinkled eyes blinked twice, and said slowly:

"It's been a lot of ...... in the evenings lately"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped speaking, probed into the alley, seemed to be afraid of something, put his hand to his mouth and lowered his voice: "Several people died one after another a while ago, be careful...... Be careful......"

"Uncle, it's okay!" The woman chuckled and said, "I walk here every day, it's very familiar—"

Then the sound of high heels clicked and clicked away......

The woman dusted her rain-soaked hair with her hands and swept over a few rocks with her feet.

"What a broken road, it's still like this after repairing it a few times." The woman complained.

"Uh-hmm-"

The sound of crying came again, interrupting the woman's thoughts.

"Listen to the voice is a little girl......"

The woman thought to herself, but how could she tell where the sound came from? I couldn't help but speed up my pace at the moment.

"Huh——?"

Just about to turn the corner in front of him out of the alley, a short figure appeared on the side of the wall not far away, the woman looked closely, only to see that the little figure was wearing a pink dress, two willow braids on the shoulders, four or five years old, the pair of small hands clenched into fists and rubbed their eyes and sobbed, what a little girl, very distressing.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

When the little girl heard the voice, she immediately stopped crying, her eyes looked up from the gap in the back of her hand, and the woman smiled at her: "It's so late, why haven't you come home yet?" ”

"Sister......" The little girl whispered, "Mom took the stall and left with her brother on her back......" but she spoke very quietly.

"Then why don't you keep up with Mom?"

Women are like this, when they reach an age, they begin to like to care for children, and the same is true for career-oriented people.

"Mom said you have to pack your things...... Let me stay still......" the little girl replied.

"It's so careless...... the woman sighed, squatted down and stroked the girl's head, "Where is your home?" ”

"Over there—" said the little girl, pointing to the depths of the alley on the other side of the mouth, in the opposite direction.

There is still some light on the street lamps on the street in the distance, but there is no light in the alley that the little girl pointed to, the woman thought about it, looked at the little girl and asked, "Sister will send you home, okay?" ”

"Uh-hmm-" The little girl held back her sobs, thought for a moment and asked, "Mom...... Will it be said that I am disobedient? ”

"No, it won't." The woman smiled: "My sister will talk to my mother." ”

"Okay—" The little girl nodded.

"Sister still doesn't know what your name is?" The woman asked with a smile.

"Mom said you can't just tell strangers their names." The little girl listened to her mother.

"Okay, then my sister won't ask." The woman got up, took the little girl's hand and walked straight into the alley.

"Little sister, is your house a bungalow?" The woman asked.

"Yes...... the girl looked up and said, "I live here with my father, my mother, and my brother." ”

"The bungalows here are small, aren't they?" The woman asked.

Mom and Dad said...... "The little girl seemed to be a little tired, and responded: "In the future, my brother and I will grow up, and we will change to a bigger house......"

"It's nice—"

The woman led the little girl to the end of the alley, and it was already pitch black and she couldn't make out the direction. "And then how do you get there......?" The woman asked, looking down.

“……”

"Little sister......

The woman squatted down, and the little girl fell into the woman's arms, and the latter couldn't help but cry out softly.

"Go away ......"

A deep voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Click-click-click-"

The woman looked up in horror, only to see a figure slowly emerging from the darkness.

"Go away......" Shadow repeated.

"You...... Don't come here! The woman hugged the little girl and exclaimed.

"Let's go...... Open ......" The black shadow came over, raised his hand above his head, and seemed to pull something out from behind him, accompanied by a long "Zheng-" sound.

When the little girl in the woman's arms heard this voice, she actually got up and slowly opened her eyes......

His eyes were white. The color of turbidity, but the black pupils are gone!

"Shh——!h

I don't know when, the black shadow actually came to the front of him, bowed slightly, one arm behind his back, and looked closely, and what he held in his hand was actually a slender metal sword. The sword body swung out suddenly, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the little girl!

"Gas-Eater...... Death! ”
