Chapter 898 Baby Carriage

Rather than an abandoned tourist attraction, it is more like a ruin of the end of the world. Some huge cartoon sculptures with cute yet weird shapes are lying on the ground. Some of them have broken heads and some have broken arms. It is obvious that they were deliberately pushed down and broken...

Deng Kai, who had been thirsty for a long time, actually unscrewed the bottle of expired drink and took a sip, which frightened Song Jiang and he exclaimed, "Are you crazy? It's been expired for such a long time, won't you have diarrhea?!"

Unexpectedly, Deng Kai just tasted it in his mouth, then spit it out and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm just curious about what this drink that has expired for ten years would taste like... Don't tell me, it still tastes the same. It seems that the preservatives invented by us humans are really overbearing!"

Song Jiang didn't have time to discuss with him whether the preservatives were overbearing, because from the moment the three of them came in, he felt that everything in this scenic area was obviously wrong...

  It stands to reason that even if most of the facilities in an abandoned tourist project cannot be reused, the goods on these stalls can be sold elsewhere. At the very least, selling them at a low price is a thousand times better than leaving them here to gather dust and become garbage, right? !

Although Deng Kai was not cut out for business, he was born in a merchant family and had learned some basic business knowledge since childhood. Naturally, he had already seen the problem, so he walked straight to the bottom of a stall and searched around, and unexpectedly found a shoe box used to store change...

  "Something's wrong...something's very wrong here!" Deng Kai counted the change in the stall, and it was about a hundred yuan. Which small business vendor would forget to leave the change on the stall before closing?

Song Jiang was also very surprised when he saw it and said, "It seems that the people here left in a hurry back then!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe looked around at this time, then locked his eyes on a somewhat dilapidated baby carriage under a tree not far away, and said in a deep voice, "It's more than just a hurry?"

After he finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the severely faded baby carriage, and then he lifted up the quilt that was torn into pieces... His face suddenly darkened. Seeing that Meng Zhe looked strange, Song Jiang also walked forward to check, and saw a black object curled up in a pile of rotten cotton wool.

"This...is this a wild cat?" Song Jiang asked in shock.

Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "Of course not..."

"That...that wouldn't be...what I'm thinking of, right?" Song Jiang still had an expression of disbelief.

Deng Kai saw Song Jiang and Meng Zhe standing in front of a baby carriage, so he walked over curiously. When he saw the situation in the carriage, he immediately stuttered and asked the same question as Song Jiang, "This... this... this can't be a dead cat, right?"

Song Jiang and Meng Zhe answered his question with silence, while Deng Kai shouted in a somewhat collapsed state, "What's going on? It's ok to not take the goods and change, but who in their right mind would forget their child in a place like this?!"

It was a small dead baby. The monk's clothes were stained by corpse fluid, and its original color could no longer be seen... If it hadn't been curled up quietly in a baby carriage, it would have been easily mistaken for a cat's corpse. Song Jiang couldn't imagine what this little life had gone through to become what it was now. But he found a lot of baby products in the mother and baby bag hanging on the baby carriage, including some well-known brands from more than ten years ago.

All this shows that this child once had all the love of his family...but why was he abandoned in this abandoned scenic spot and died so pitifully and lonely? !

"No way... Which adult is so cruel? He travels a long way to a place like this to abandon the child? Aren't they just trying to kill the child by abandoning him in a place like this? This is too immoral, isn't it?!" Even a shameless person like Deng Kai was shocked by the scene before him and couldn't help but ask four soul-searching questions.

Meng Zhe took the baby bag from Song Jiang and found half a bag of milk powder. He glanced at the expiration date on it and said, "It's also from ten years ago..."

Song Jiang suddenly realized something after hearing this. He looked surprised and asked, "What on earth happened here? Why did everyone suddenly leave together... and when they left, they all seemed to have collectively lost their memory, so much so that they even forgot to take some important things with them."

Deng Kai immediately said with a bit of amusement, "You mean to say that this baby was forgotten here by his parents? This... How is this possible? How forgetful is this person? He forgot that he had a child? Besides, even if the child's parents don't remember, what about their relatives? There must be grandparents, right? Who doesn't have relatives like aunts and uncles? This is too unreasonable, isn't it?!"

Indeed... everything here seems unreasonable, as if someone pressed the stop button on the scenic spot in an instant, and then everyone immediately left the place without caring.

Song Jiang really felt sorry for the little baby, so he took him out with the torn cotton wool in the stroller and buried him in the grass nearby, which should be a way for him to rest in peace.

Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "From my perspective, this baby is at most three months old. The fontanelle has not yet closed, and the soul is not yet solidified. It can barely be considered a human being. A human being does not have too many memories and therefore does not suffer too much."

But Song Jiang didn't think so. "As long as he was born, he was a human being. As long as he drank milk, he would have memories of this world, and they were good memories. Although I don't know why his parents abandoned their child in such a place, I believe that he was loved by someone before that..."

Deng Kai didn't want to waste too much time on this dead baby, so he hurriedly urged, "Can we not worry about whether this dead child is loved by anyone for now, let's find Gu Hao first. He should know more about the situation here than we do. Maybe if we find him, we can solve these abnormal situations here."

Song Jiang knew that what Deng Kai said was right, so he calmed down and continued to move forward. During this time, Deng Kai shouted Gu Hao's name loudly as he walked, but unfortunately nothing else happened except scaring away a few sparrows.

Afterwards, the three of them passed through some artificial scenery that could barely be called pavilions and towers, and came to a natural stone wall with a hole artificially dug out there, on which were clearly engraved four red seal characters: "Yellow Cao Difu".
