Chapter 15: Meng Lan's "Dead Baby"
For the young taxi driver, Tang Song and the other three all cast expectant glances at him, and his solemn expression seemed to indirectly indicate the seriousness of the situation. "Actually, Monland Avenue is not its name." Those deep eyes didn't belong to such a young and vigorous youth, especially when he mentioned the words "Menglan Avenue", he couldn't help but shake his hand on the steering wheel.
Fortunately, his driving skills lived up to his name, and in the snow, a slight side-slip to the left was corrected by him before he entered the tail flick. He slowed down, noticeably slowing down, and had a serious look on his face as he drove onto the unlit wilderness trail.
"So, what was the previous name?" Zhang Fang, the co-pilot, couldn't help but want to know urgently, hesitated for a moment, and saw that he had been in a heavy mood, so he still asked: "It's okay, we have strong psychological endurance, even if it is weird, we can face it calmly." ”
Unmoved, his eyes still focused on the straight ahead, the young man converted his high beams to low beams, and the speed of the car had slowed to about twenty miles. "Meng Lan, do you know the meaning of this word?"
"Place names?"
The young man sneered, almost colder than the dust and snow floating outside the car window. "Place names? It seems that you really don't have the imagination! Evil Baby! ”
"Evil Baby?"
"The evil of the devil, the baby of the baby." The young man turned the front of the car and drove into a fork on the left, which was snowy, and under the dim headlights, if he had not turned a corner, he could not see that there was another road.
"You've been here before?" Tang Song in the back seat asked, he found that this person was very familiar with the terrain here and should come often.
The young man did not answer his question, and continued in a deep voice: "Meng Lan, the name of a baby, according to legend, died from the moment she was born, and her desperate mother became mentally ill because of this, and her family was left one by one, ruthlessly abandoned, and she wandered around the town all day long with the dead baby in her arms. At first, the townspeople took pity on her and expressed sympathy and sadness for her plight, but as time went on, the town's mad laughter in the middle of the night and the strange cries of babies caused panic among the local residents. So, when they couldn't calm down their fears, everyone in the town voted to bury the mad woman alive in her own backyard. On the day of the burial, they were horrified to find that the dead baby in the woman's arms had not yet decomposed, not even the slightest sign of decay, and should have turned into a pile of corpses in more than half a year. However, they didn't think much of it and buried the two bodies together. ”
The car stopped slowly, the young driver took a long breath, the cold sweat overflowing from his forehead had already wet his entire back, and he took a few sips of water before stopping, wheezing. Zhang Fang, the co-pilot, was deeply affected, and he also took a sharp breath and sighed: "Oh, this story sounds really crazy." ”
"Crazy? Hum. The young man glanced at him, did not start the car, but continued to say in a deep voice: "If this is a terrible thing, then you should be mentally prepared for what will happen after that." He put the teacup in his hand back into the center control, and there was no water left. One night, a pregnant woman was awakened in the middle of the night by a slight noise outside the window, and she got up to turn on the light to visit, and as a result, she saw a gloomy child standing in the window staring at her, her dark eyes without any color. The screams of the pregnant women were enough to wake everyone in the town from their slumber. He turned in horror, but there was nothing in the room, and when she looked at the window again, the shadow was gone, from the window outside the attic. ”
"Outside the attic?" Tang Song, who was in the back seat, saw that his words paused, so he opened his mouth and asked carefully: "Does the attic mean the second floor?" ”
The young man did not look back, looking up at him in the front mirror. "On the third floor, or on the second floor, the shadow is either in the pregnant woman's room, or it's suspended outside the window."
"This phenomenon is really alarming, if it were me, I am afraid that I would also scream, and the simplest factor that can make people behave abnormally is to be frightened." Tang Song said frankly that he would never forget the emotions he had when he saw the supernatural picture for the first time, especially profound, and even urinated incontinence.
"As you say, the pregnant woman did behave abnormally, and after that, she shouted to her family that the fetus in her arms was dead, but the answer she received was only a symptom of the disease, prenatal depression. His husband locked her in a room in the attic to prevent her from acting aggressively. However, she finally chose to jump off the building, landing on her head on the ground, although it was only a few meters high, it was still bleeding and died a tragic death. But what's even more bizarre is that his husband threw away the corpse's abdomen in order to fulfill his wife's words, and sure enough, the little life that should have been formed was just a black rotting sarcoma. Strange things followed, and the residents of the town continued to go crazy or driven crazy, and one by one they were horrified and the case was confusing. Eventually, with the erosion of the years, the town disappeared, and the only path that passed was called Menglan Avenue by later generations. ”
In the silent car, there was a dead silence, until the solemn atmosphere dissipated, and Zhang Fang, the co-pilot, spoke: "Okay, it seems that some smart people have connected the strange events that happened in this town with the baby who was killed at birth." ”
"That's the way it is, the evil baby has come for revenge." The young man turned his head to stare at Zhang Fang, and said righteously: "Although this is just a legend, there are times when it is better to believe it than to believe it. ”
"Hmph......" Zhang Fang smiled bitterly: "Legend? When did this happen? ”
"I don't know, a hundred years ago, maybe even more."
"Old?" Zhang Fang nodded, with reservations about the ridiculous story. "Okay, let's move on, when we get to Menglan Avenue, we will naturally know the truth of the matter."
"I'm sorry, I can't go any further." The young man bowed his head and said, his body trembling.
The sudden words, except for Sun Ya, Tang Song and Zhang Fang were extremely surprised. "Hey, that's not there yet." Zhang Fang glanced out of the car window, and the surroundings were gloomy and dim. "You want to leave, but don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't send us to our destination, we won't have a penny!"
"I can't go any further, there is Menglan Avenue in front, I'm sorry, there was once a taxi driver who sent a woman there, and it turned out to be ......" The young man's mood suddenly became unstable, shaking extremely much, and his mouth swallowed: "As a result, he had an accident and died, and died in his own car." However, the car was intact and the doors were locked, but his whole body was covered with scars, his body was completely torn, and his face and chest were the most miserable, as if he had been torn alive by his bloody hands, bleeding and dying of pain.
