The child's voice only sounded a few times, ending with a heart-rending scream, and then the entire night sky returned to silence.

It was like being swallowed up by a giant beast, and nothing more happened.

Bai Zhi didn't have the courage to climb up from the ditch, so she huddled in the ditch and shivered all night.

She didn't get up until dawn. It was a dirt road that could drive carriages. She looked around and saw a pool of blood not far away.

Although she had seen a lot of blood, this pool of blood today made her scalp numb and her temples throbbed.

It was an ominous, deep-seated fear.

She thought of the child's cry for help last night, "Don't eat me..."

Who wants to eat him?

Who wants to eat a child?

Bai Zhi had goosebumps all over her body. She stood in the middle of the road, with the town on one side and the road to nowhere on the other.

She could escape Yinghonglou and get rid of the fate of being a prostitute by leaving the town. She thought she would definitely choose the unknown road without hesitation.

But she looked at the end of the pool of blood stretched by the drag, and chose to walk back to the town.

She chose to trust her intuition. The road leading to it was not to heaven, but to the gate of hell.

She entered the city. This was the north gate of Danning City. There were no guards on the city wall. She didn't see any officers or soldiers. Even the city gate was closed and tattered and wide open.

The streets in the early morning were silent and there was no one.

Bai Zhi was kidnapped to this place, and it was the first time she saw this city with her eyes.

She felt something was wrong, the air here was filled with strange fear, and there was no trace of strangers at all.

Like a ghost town.

There were dewdrops on the roofs. As the sun gradually rose, the dew began to slowly evaporate, but it was still eerily quiet.

Such silence was unnatural in ancient times when the sun rose and set and rested.

Bai Zhi walked like this for a long time, until the sun rose completely and there was no noise in the city.

Walking to a street, the air was filled with the smell of dust and thin autumn smoke. There were two bangs and the door panel of a house was pushed open.

Bai Zhi's heart suddenly shrank and beat several times. It turned out that there was someone!

Bai Zhi stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Old man! Why are there no officers and soldiers in this city?"

When the old man saw Bai Zhi and heard her asking questions, his eyes became frightened, "Let's go, let's go!"

Then with a bang, the door was closed again!

After wandering around for a long time, someone finally opened the door one after another.

She was a little hungry and wanted to buy two cakes and a bowl of glutinous rice paste, but she didn't see a single business person.

But she doesn't have any money now. She has a piece of ruby ​​in the shape of an eagle and a few jade rings that she coaxed from Master Qi last night. The jade rings should be able to exchange for some money, so she needs to find a pawn shop now. Change some money, have a full meal, stock up on food, and then make plans.

She caught a few people and asked, "Excuse me, is there a pawn shop nearby?"

Without exception, everyone she asked looked at her like she was a fool!

She noticed that everyone here looked nervous and felt like a gust of wind when they walked. They wanted to find a place to hide immediately.

She walked to the street and finally saw the sign of a pawn shop. She mustered up the courage and knocked nervously on the door. It took a long time before someone opened the door.

Bai Zhi tremblingly took out a jade ring, "Boss, how much is this ring worth?"

"A drop of money!"

"How can it be worth a fortune? This is a good product!" Bai Zhi couldn't believe it.

"It's worth a fortune!"

The other party's attitude was very resolute, with an expression on his face that he wanted to change things and would get out if he didn't.

Bai Zhi thought again that she would not be able to find a pawnshop all the way, so she continued to argue with the boss. She was already talking about it, but the other party was not willing to give him a penny more!

Bai Zhi had no choice but to compromise. She gave the jade ring to the boss and sat on the bench in front of the door waiting to change money. Before her buttocks could get hot from sitting, she was pushed out of the pawn shop.

She fell down the steps and scraped the skin on her elbows and knees. The pain made her grimace. It was clear that her sprained foot from the night before had not healed yet!

After a burst of pain, she became more awake. When she looked back at the pawn shop, the door was already closed, as if the person talking to her just now was all an illusion, a dream.

Is this being cheated?

It doesn’t feel like it! This is totally a steal!

She banged the door of the pawn shop angrily, "Hey! Open the door! You are robbing me! Pay me back! Believe it or not, I will report it to the police!"

Bai Zhi looked at it for a long time, but there was no movement at all, but there were a few people watching.

Someone couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and tried to persuade me, "Girl, I advise you to stop knocking! If you still want to live."

Bai Zhi almost burst into tears. With red eyes, she turned to look at the person who was trying to persuade her, "They robbed my things, why should I let them go? Are they doing a serious business? It's obviously a black shop!"

Even though Bai Zhi made so much noise, there were only a few people watching, and they still looked at Bai Zhi as if they were looking at fools.

The man continued to persuade, "Real business? Where did the girl come from? Is there any serious business in this place? If you make more noise, you will be dead!"

After saying this, the man left, and the people around him also dispersed.

This sentence was very intimidating. Bai Zhi carefully studied the meaning of his words and did not dare to knock on the door again.

Bai Zhi looked at the empty street again. Occasionally, one or two people passed by, and she felt very panicked.

She changed streets, but it was still eerily quiet.

In the empty street, every sound was very clear, and she felt that someone was following her!

Her footsteps became more and more anxious, and she turned down one alley after another. The people behind her were chasing after her, but they seemed to be walking very slowly and could not catch up.

She turned around suddenly and saw two strange-looking people wearing bamboo hats. She ran away.

Unexpectedly, a child's voice came out from these two weirdos, "Hurry up!"

Bai Zhi subconsciously looked back and saw that the figure changed from two people to four, four little ones!

They chased the lame Bai Zhi into a dead end.

Bai Zhi tried to reason with them, "Children! Why are you chasing me?"

The four children stared at Bai Zhi with fierce eyes and said nothing.

Bai Zhi was still kind-hearted and advised, "Don't chase me. Take my sister to buy a pastry. Can I share it with you?"

After hearing this, the four children felt that she was like a fool. They rushed up, punched and kicked Bai Zhi, and took away one of Bai Zhi's thumb rings.

Fortunately, I had taken precautions and opened my fingers separately, thus avoiding being snatched away by them.

Bai Zhi was speechless, what kind of world is this, what kind of evil boy is this!

She sat helplessly on the ground, wanting to cry but without tears. She was helpless and flustered. She sat there for half a day.

Something is wrong with this city!

She began to be afraid, so she went to pick up a rag with holes in it and wrapped it around her body and head, so that at least she would not be so conspicuous.

After she disguised herself, she forced herself to calm down and began to seriously understand what the hell this city was!

But at the next intersection, she met the two children who had just snatched her thumb.

They are dead!

Bai Zhi moved closer and looked at the bloody appearance, feeling a dull pain in her heart.

They robbed Bai Zhi's things, and she seemed to deserve a word from the evil child's behavior, but how could she say it out loud!

She heard people around her talking:

"I heard that I had a valuable item on me that was robbed. How pitiful!"

"Whose family are they from?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't think it's any better. Nowadays, children and women will die if they go out!"

"It's still hot! Now you can pull it back and bake it!"

"We really can't eat this stuff!"

"Forget it……"

"Let's pull it back!"

……

Hearing this, Bai Zhi's heart pounded, as if a rusty machine was being forcibly started and was about to break down!

What are they talking about?

Are they talking about cannibalism?

Are they going to roast the child's body and eat it?

How can this be?

He is human!

Bai Zhi’s teeth are trembling!

All the bones in his body seemed to be out of joint, and he couldn't move at all!
