Langdun City Old Town, Baker Street Crossing.

Li Fan, Su Qing, Qin Yulin, Tang Ying and others stood at the intersection and watched for a while, then walked forward along the Baker Street.

The streets are moving north and south. The two sections of the intersection add up to the total length of the streets is about 500 meters, and the average road width is about 4 meters. Several people walk from the south to the north.

The whole street looks very deserted, with few pedestrians passing by. There are no other buildings on both sides of the street except for duplex apartment buildings, and there are almost no shops or shops.

Su Qing said in confusion: "This street seems a bit too deserted, and it feels a bit unnatural. Although this is an old city, the location is not remote. It can even be said to be good. The apartment buildings on both sides look good. Logically, it shouldn't be so deserted."

Tang Ying said: "Those apartment buildings look good, but they seem to be almost empty and there are no people living there. This may be the reason why this place is so deserted."

Qin Yulin said: "When Sister Jingying said this, I seem to feel that there are no people living in those apartments. This is really strange. Those apartments look good and have good geographical locations. Why are there no one living there?"

Li Fan said: "Maybe there is a reason we don't know, or there is no reason. Over time, this situation will naturally become the current situation."

Qin Yulin said: "It's a bit strange. By the way, brother-in-law, you are going to come to this street specifically. Did you know that this street is a bit strange before?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "How can I have such great ability? I am very interested in this street for no reason. Besides, as I said just now, we think this street is a bit strange, but their locals may not find it strange because they are used to the deserted street."

Qin Yulin said again: "This is the same. This street is not long. Apart from a few apartment buildings, there is nothing special. It is just an ordinary small street, and it seems normal to be deserted."

Several people walked while talking, and in a few minutes they reached the end of the street. Several people were planning to return to the same road and go to the section of the street opposite the intersection just now to take a look, but suddenly heard a "crunch", which was a bit like the sound of opening the door.

On the deserted street, the sound was quite loud. All the people turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came.

Sure enough, I saw that the door of a duplex apartment was being opened at the end of the street. "Which apartment is inhabited?" This was the first thought that a few people thought.

The main door is a double iron door. Now the left half of the door is opened. Perhaps the door is a bit heavy, or perhaps the person who opens the door is relatively weak, the half door is opened very slowly, and the "crunch" sound is dragged for a long time.

When the door opened at a certain angle, a pair of thin, thin hands, exuding endless years of vicissitudes, reached out and grabbed the edge of the door, and continued to open the door.

Judging from these hands, the owner of these hands must be quite old. No wonder he could feel that the people inside were quite struggling to open the door.

The door was finally slowly opened, and an old man walked out from it, probably in his seventies. The old man's body seemed to be quite tough, because the old man was dragging a quite large linen bag on his hands, with a bulging pocket, and it was obviously full of things.

Although the old man walked slowly, he stepped quite steadily every step he took.

Not far from the gate, a human tricycle was parked, and the old man was walking towards the tricycle. Judging from this, it seemed that he wanted to put the linen bag dragged in his hand on the tricycle.

Li Fan believed that this was not very difficult for the old man, but Li Fan still walked up and said, "Hello, old man, do you need help?"

The old man's ears were pretty good. Li Fan did not deliberately amplify the sound, but the old man heard it very clearly. He stopped, looked at Li Fan, and said with a smile: "Thank you, young man, in fact, I need to put this bag of things on that tricycle. If you have your help, I think I will be much more relaxed."

Li Fan smiled and said, "I am very willing to help, so let me help you."

After saying that, Li Fan took the pocket from the old man. When he lifted it, he was a little surprised. The weight of the pocket was quite heavy, about fifty kilograms.

This weight is naturally not worth mentioning for Li Fan, but the old man was able to drag it, which shows that his body is indeed quite strong.

When the old man just opened the door, he obviously felt quite difficult. In this way, the door itself should be difficult to open and it should need to be re-maintained.

Such an idea flashed through Li Fan's mind, and then he followed the old man slowly towards the tricycle with his pocket.

After holding his pocket in his hand, Li Fan roughly guessed what was in his pocket, which should be scraps such as cardboard boxes.

"Does the old man want to sell these waste products?" Another thought flashed through Li Fan's mind.

The old man looked at Li Fan while walking and said with a smile: "Young man, you are very strong. The thing in this pocket is fifty kilograms, but it feels as light as nothing when held in your hand."

Li Fan laughed and said, "The old man has been too awarded. I usually pay more attention to exercise and my strength is indeed greater than that of ordinary people."

The old man nodded and said, "Young man, if you guessed correctly, you should be from China. You are here in Langdun City for fun."

"Oh?" After hearing the old man say this, Li Fan looked at the old man again with interest and smiled: "Why are the old man so sure?"

The old man smiled heartily and said, "Because when I was about to open the door in the apartment, I vaguely heard someone outside talking in Chinese. Although I don't understand, I can be sure that it is Chinese. And you have three very beautiful female companions, so it is naturally very likely that you are here to travel. Besides, perhaps only the country with outstanding people can have such beautiful women."

After hearing this, Li Fan also smiled and said, "The old man's judgment is indeed very accurate. I am indeed from China and I am traveling to Langdun City. By the way, old man, have you always lived on this street? I just walked over from the other end of the street and found that the residential buildings on both sides of the street seemed to be empty, which makes people feel a little strange."

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "Those residential buildings are indeed empty. Now I am the only one living on the entire Baker Street. I have lived here for decades."

"It's true." Li Fan thought about this and said, "Old man, why is this? I think the living environment here is good, why is no one willing to live here?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know why. The popularity of this street has always been low. There were several families living in it before, but they all moved out one after another. I have lived alone on this street for ten years. People seem to have forgotten this street. This is indeed something that will make people regret and feel very confused."

Li Fan nodded and did not continue to ask. Some phenomena were indeed difficult to explain the cause.
