Chapter 16 The Baby Cries and Eats at Night

Abandoned house behind Yuyang Building in Dongding District?

Li Mu felt familiar when he heard the name of this place.

It took a long time to remember that the place where he was now was not far from Dongding District, and it could be reached through three alleys.

This is also because of the Zhouxian Wharf, which is in Dongding District.

This also led to the stopping, unloading, and purchase of merchant ships, which inevitably stopped here, which must have promoted the development of Dongding District.

Therefore, the Black Tiger Gang, as the largest gang in Zhou County, has also invested in a lot of flower buildings and restaurants here.

I also sent someone to find information related to the abandoned house, and then I learned that the location of the abandoned building was originally a prosperous place, but there was a fire eight years ago, and because of the lack of rescue and the fierce fire, many people died at once.

Later, there were people who wanted to rebuild it, but after it was built, many people died for various reasons.

Over time, the dwelling was abandoned.

To be honest, this was the last file that Chen Junfeng read before he disappeared, and some people in the gang naturally thought of this.

Chen Qing went to investigate in person, but he still found nothing.

However, Li Mu still decided to investigate.

Walking through two alleys, the backyard of Yuyang Building is already visible in front of you.

But unlike the bustling people coming and going in front of Yuyang Building, the more you go inside, the more dilapidated the houses become, and the shadows are gradually thinning.

Only occasionally I met some elderly people, lying or lying in the doorway, enjoying the rare sunlight recently.

Further inside, it is even more sparsely populated.

Even in the daytime, he doesn't see how many people pass by as he walks down the road.

The muddy trails are gradually being overrun by weeds.

The dilapidated tiled houses on the side of the road add a lot of decay to this place.

Abandoned building, not far ahead.

But Li Mu thought about it and stopped.

Turn around and walk back until you see a restaurant.

It was dusk.

Li Mu asked for a few jars of the most famous Xixiang wine nearby, bought a lot of appetizers, and drank alone at dusk.

Until it was completely dark, Xiao Er of the restaurant stepped forward and respectfully told him that the restaurant was closing.

Li Mu threw down the silver and went downstairs unhurriedly.

I looked up at the sky.

Tonight's night seems to be unusually dark, and even the stars in the sky are obscured by dark clouds.

Li Mu shook his head, seeing that tomorrow would still be a rainy day.

I don't know what time it is, but the streets are empty and there is no one left.

Only a few words of beating could be faintly heard in the distance, scattered in the deserted streets.

Other than that, there was only the occasional howl of the wind, which whipped through the gaps between the eaves and roared.

On such a night, Li Mu also subconsciously carefully retracted his breathing and tried his best to hide his figure.

Then I came to the place where I had walked during the day.

Paths, weeds, dead silence.

That's all he can feel.

Take a quick turn around a few alleys.

The ruined building is already in sight.

At this moment, under the shroud of darkness, it looks particularly strange and empty.

Gritted teeth.

Li Mu directly pulled out the blade worn on his waist.

Let's not talk about whether there is a greasy existence in this place.

But just this appearance and preconceived impression make it look very ghostly.

Sneak into it.

Just as he frowned and chose where to start.

Ah~Ah~~

An eerie cry of a baby suddenly entered his ears from a distance and followed the breeze in the distance.

This voice....

Li Mu suddenly looked in the distance in front of him with a horrified look.

The place has indeed been deserted for a long time.

Where does the baby cry come from now?

Li Mu continued to step forward.

The blood baby on his shoulder is his greatest confidence at the moment.

The abandoned building was built on a small slope.

As the area was abandoned, the slopes became increasingly overgrown with weeds.

The sound of a baby's cry in the wind gradually subsided.

Finally it becomes inaudible.

Li Mu carefully held his breath and tried not to make any sound.

I walked about 20 meters like this.

Several raised earthen walls suddenly appeared in front of them.

If you take a closer look.

It will also be found that there are still scorched black marks on the ruins of these broken walls.

These are the ones that were left behind by the fire.

Climb over these earthen walls.

The ruined building is already in sight.

Enter it with caution.

Through the wall.

Just when he was ready to move on.

There was another noise in the room.

Crunch!

The sound of gnawing was clearly heard in his ears through the wall.

Listen carefully.

The crunching sound grew louder and louder.

It's like the sound of someone gnawing on a bone inside, gnawing on the softer part of the end.

Li Mu, who listened, suddenly had dense goosebumps.

Before I think of the baby's cry.

A bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
