Chapter 4: How...... Bah......
"Huh...... Whoop......"
In some dark rooms, the sound of chewing was constantly coming from them.
"Hmm...... Why did the voice change?"
Outside the room, Li Laohan, who had just made up his mind to report to the official, listened to the voice in his ears, and his weather-beaten old face showed a touch of doubt.
Out of concern for his daughter, Li Laohan walked a few steps quickly to the door, and then stretched out his hand to the door.
"Pop ......"
With a soft sound, some old doors slowly opened a crack.
Before the door was fully opened, Li Laohan had already opened his eyes wide and looked into the room.
This look made Li Laohan's eyes widen immediately, and his black and yellow face was instantly filled with fear.
In the room that is not bright, a ghost baby the size of a baby just a few months old, with a blue and black color, is holding a heart and gnawing on it.
Underneath it, a young girl who had lost her breath and her entire belly had been completely torn open, lay silently on the bed.
Although the ghost baby is small, it eats the heart very quickly, and in just a few breaths, the entire heart is completely swallowed by it.
After killing the "food" in his hand, the size of the ghost baby immediately increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, it stood on all fours on the young girl's body, and its body turned to look at Li Laohan.
"What the hell is this?"
Li Laohan was still standing at the door, his face was pale, his legs couldn't stop trembling, just because he was too shocked, he missed the best time to escape.
Now being stared at by the ghost baby, Li Laohan only felt a chill all over his body, and he only remembered to run away quickly, but found that his legs were a little disobedient.
"Meow!"
Just when Li Laohan's heart was panicking, the ghost baby opened his mouth and let out a terrible sound, like the howling of a wild cat.
The next moment, the ghost baby's body catapulted out of the young woman's corpse at a very fast speed, and jumped onto Li Laohan's body in an instant.
And, with a "poof", the sound of the flesh being torn came out of the door, and the ghost baby's palm with sharp claws tore open Li Laohan's skin and pulled out a heart that was still beating.
The ghost baby's series of actions were extremely fast, and Li Laohan couldn't react at all.
"Poof......
Li Laohan's heart was forcibly pulled out, and after opening his mouth and spurting out a large mouthful of blood, a pair of eyes stared at the strange creature hanging on his body.
Then, within a few seconds, he lay down at the door with wide eyes and staring.
Not long after Li Laohan died, the ghost baby who had eaten the second heart, after "growing" a little more, moved his limbs, and his body disappeared into the shadows.
............
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's late at night.
It was a dark and windy night.
"It's dry, watch out for candles. ”
A clear voice sounded in the silent and deserted streets.
Zhang Dazhuang struck the gong and snorted tiredly.
"Strange how the streets are so quiet today. ”
As he chime, his eyes widened and he looked around.
Zhang Dazhuang always felt that something was wrong tonight.
In the past, the streets were quieter, but they weren't as quiet as they are now, there was no sound at all, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
After walking for a while, Zhang Dazhuang, who felt more and more that something was wrong, couldn't help but speed up his pace, he always felt that something was following him.
"Bang...... Snap ......"
The sound of crisp footsteps echoes in the silent streets.
Zhang Dazhuang carried the gong and walked alone on the deserted street, his steps were hurried, and the frequency of his steps became faster and faster.
As he walked, he looked back from time to time.
However, Zhang Dazhuang found that the faster he walked, the more scared he became.
So, Zhang Dazhuang stopped, took out a fire fold from his arms with a little trembling hands, blew it on fire, and raised it around.
With the light emitted by the burning of the fire fold, in this dark night, Zhang Dazhuang finally saw some of the surrounding scenes clearly.
Surrounded by cold bluestone walls, old and dilapidated, this is an old town, and the surrounding houses are some years old.
Zhang Dazhuang had a fire fold in his hand, and felt that he was a little bolder, and under the flickering flamelight, he turned around, but found nothing.
"Strange, is it my delusion?"
After talking about the surrounding situation, Zhang Dazhuang muttered to himself and walked towards his home.
Zhang Dazhuang did not extinguish the fire fold in his hand, although he did not find anything abnormal after some investigation just now, he instinctively did not want to extinguish it.
Tonight, it was too quiet, and he didn't hear a single sound all the way.
However, not long after Zhang Dazhuang left, a black shadow suddenly flashed past him.
"Who!"
Zhang Dazhuang immediately let out a cry of surprise, and immediately turned to look in the direction where the black shadow was coming.
It's just that when he carefully held the fire fold and walked some distance in the direction where the black shadow flew, he still didn't find anything.
"What the hell?"
Staying alone in this silent and uninhabited street, Zhang Dazhuang was very scared now, he was sure that he was not dazzled just now, and a black shadow must have run past him.
Because, the fire fold he was holding just now was almost blown out by the wind that the figure ran towards.
Faced with this strange situation, Zhang Dazhuang couldn't care about anything else, tightened the fire fold in his hand, moved his steps, and walked home without looking back.
It's just that Zhang Dazhuang just walked out a few steps this time, and a black shadow flashed past him again, and scraped out the fire fold in his hand.
This time, Zhang Dazhuang didn't care what was running past him, and he didn't care about the extinguished fire.
He identified the direction of home, tied his steps, and ran home desperately.
"Meow ......"
Suddenly, a terrible hiss sounded not far behind Zhang Dazhuang.
Immediately after, from Zhang Dazhuang in all directions, there was a terrible hissing sound again.
"Meow !!"
As the voice sounded, several blue and black figures of different sizes flashed in the night, and rushed towards Zhang Dazhuang who was running.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blew and blew away some of the dark clouds that had blocked the sky.
The cold moonlight cast, and through the moonlight, you can see that there are five ghost babies rushing towards Zhang Dazhuang.
These ghost babies are only the size of a one-year-old baby, but the big ones look like two or three-year-old Haitong.
Not long after the five ghost babies moved, a muffled grunt sounded in the dark streets, followed by a strange chewing sound.
"Huh...... Whoop......"
At the same time, the palace mansion, in the courtyard where Xu Ming lived.
Xu Ming was still sitting at the table, and next to him was Wang Dahai, who looked anxious, and Xiaoyuan, a little girl with a sad face and a daze biting her pen.
"Xu Gongzi, it's late at night, what are you waiting for, will it stop coming?" ”
Wang Dahai leaned against the table uneasily, his face was full of haggardness, he was already old, he had been sitting in the courtyard for so long, and he had been worried for many days, he was now physically and mentally exhausted.
"Wait another half an hour, if you don't come, Master Wang, you can go back and rest. ”
Xu Ming glanced at the sky when he heard this, and then replied unhurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly changed, and with a somewhat sharp gaze, he looked sharply in the direction of the palace gate.
"It's coming!"
A short, powerful voice rang out in the courtyard.
