The development of the matter was surprisingly smooth. Xu Qing An really did not come looking for him, and the legendary Commander Huo just came knocking on his door once.
The instant she saw him take off his hat, she finally remembered who it was.
In the modern world, the person who had once appeared beside her, Huo Muyan.
He had originally thought that Huo Muyan was just an ordinary passerby, but he hadn't thought that he would have so much interaction with him here. More importantly, when he saw Huo Muyan, Lin Qing was very satisfied.
Xiao Yu had come to tell him about this.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Mu immediately stood up from her chair. Just as she was about to go look for Lin Qing, she saw a figure sneakily lurking in the garden. She immediately furrowed her brows and, without thinking, chased after him.
At that time, the sky had already darkened, the autumn was getting thicker, it was probably only 7 o'clock now, but the entire area was covered in darkness. The further Lin April walked in, the more she felt terrified.
The surroundings were completely silent. The place they had just walked through was a long passageway. Only when they looked over did they realize that it was completely dark.
Lin Mu's heart began to feel a little uneasy. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a childish crying sound.
Lin Mu's entire body trembled. When she suddenly turned her head, she found that the tightly shut door in front of her seemed to have been slightly pushed open.
From the very beginning, Lin April had a feeling that this house seemed to be a little different.
But what exactly was the difference? Lin Mu couldn't tell. At this moment, when she saw the slightly open door, she felt a chill run down her spine. Then, she slowly looked in.
"Baby, baby, sleep well …"
It was a woman's voice, and Lin Mu could only feel the goosebumps on her skin grow even more distinct. There was no fire inside, and only darkness could be seen, and only when Lin April's eyes adjusted to the darkness in front of her, she could see, as if a woman was sitting in front of a bed with a child in her arms, coaxing the child to sleep.
Before this, Lin April had never heard of anyone having children in this family.
Lin Mu's eyebrows furrowed, and when she looked again, she saw that the woman had stood up and was coaxing the child nonstop. "Baby, sleep, baby, sleep …"
Lin April decided to go back and ask Xiao Yu, but if she really was a child, why was she locked up here?
Lin Mu only felt that she was in a daze. She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the child cry again. Following that, the entire room was filled with the sound of crying.
Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat. When she turned around, she saw that the woman was also in a mess as she kept coaxing the child, "Don't cry, child …" "Don't cry …"
The child was only about two or three years old. After hearing the woman's words, he did not stop and instead cried even more fiercely.
"Stop crying!" The woman suddenly became angry and threw the pillow in her hands onto the bed. She then held the child's head and said, "Don't cry! I told you not to cry! "
By the time Lin April reacted, the child's wailing had become very weak. She was shocked, and without caring about anything else, she pushed open the door.
"What are you doing?" You'll suffocate him! "
Pushing aside the woman who did not seem to hear her, Lin immediately removed the pillow from the child's head.
The child seemed to have lost his breath, and Lin Si's entire body shook. He then turned his head to look at the woman's face, only to find that behind him, there was nothing.
What about that woman?
Lin Mu's complexion changed. Just as she was about to step forward, her fingers were grabbed by someone.
Her body trembled, but when she slowly turned her head, she saw that the child had become afraid of her, "Mother …" "Mother …"
Earlier on, this child clearly didn't have any breath …
Lin Mu's heart jumped. He wanted to break free from the child, but he already climbed onto his own body, his eyes shining brightly under the night sky. He said, "Mother, I …" "I'm hungry …"
When she found out that he was looking at her chest, her expression immediately changed. Without further ado, she threw him off and turned to leave.
"Mother …" "Mother …"
Behind her was a heart-wrenching scream. Lin Si didn't even dare to look back as she dashed out of the alleyway, only to run into a person.
"April, what's the matter with you?"
Lin Qing was originally walking around in the courtyard, but when he saw that the person who directly bumped into him was Lin Mu, he immediately said this.
Thinking back to the scene just now, Lin Mu's face was still filled with fear. She grabbed Lin Qing's hand and said, "I …" I just saw... One... "Child …"
"Child?"
After hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Qing's eyebrows immediately furrowed. Lin Qing gritted her teeth and immediately snatched the lantern from Lin Qing's hand, saying, "I'll bring you to take a look!"
Although the alleyway was very hidden, Lin Si successfully found the entrance. She was walking directly in front, completely unaware that Lin Qing's expression had changed when he saw the place in front of him.
"Right here." Lin April took a deep breath and said.
Lin April paused and pushed open the door.
The entire room was filled with dust that had not been smoked for a long time. When Lin April pushed open the door, the dust that filled the sky made her sneeze.
She lit the candle on the table and looked around. The room was empty.
There was no child.
Lin Mu's expression immediately changed as she turned to look at Lin Qing, "No, it's true, I just saw it here!" "There's another woman …"
"April." Lin Qing walked over and pulled him back and said, "You must be tired. Rest well. No one has lived here for a long time. There is nothing for you to say."
Lin Mu wanted to say more, but she knew that Lin Qing would not believe her words, so she could only shut her mouth.
When Lin Qing closed the door, Lin Qing saw a yellow talisman pasted on the door.
