"Probably not." Mu Xiu replied without thinking about it, and then he said: "Since you have determined that this matter is related to the ancient tomb, then rest early tonight, and we will leave early tomorrow morning, don't think too much about it now." ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, I have to make up for sleep tomorrow to have combat effectiveness, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for more than half a month, and I'm excited when I think about it."

Mu Xiu looked at me deeply, as if he wanted to say something to me, but in the end he didn't say anything and turned around and walked out, looking at his back, I had a feeling that I couldn't speak, maybe it was because he suddenly regained his memory, so it gave me a different feeling, right?

I was reluctant to fight again, but because I had to track down the disappearance of the child, now I was like a chicken blood, and I naturally woke up at five o'clock the next morning, and after getting up and washing, I went to knock on the door and call them one by one.

"Sister Liangxi, why is it so early?" Anjoufei rubbed her hazy eyes and opened the door to look at me, asking puzzled.

"It's not early, hurry up and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast, and we'll leave after eating." After saying that, I walked to Mu Xiu's room, and when I was about to knock on the door, the door was opened, "Why are you so early?" ”

Mu Xiu glanced at me and said, "Just when you called them, I was already awake, let's go downstairs." With that, he walked around me and walked towards the stairs.

Mu Xiu and I waited for them while eating in the small restaurant downstairs, and after a while, they all came down one after another, and after everyone had eaten, they put on their equipment and set off.

Mu Xiu said that there is yin qi shrouded in the mountain to the west, and the location of the ancient tomb should be over there, although we don't know how to know what yin qi is not yin, but now that Mu Xiu has recovered his memory, follow him to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Walking to the west for about two hours, we climbed a total of three hills, and then Mu Xiu stopped in one place, and we also stopped sensitively, at this time I followed Mu Xiu's line of sight, there were many footprints back and forth on the ground, these footprints seemed to be left by people, and the size of the footprints should be a woman.

According to what the villagers said before, on a mountain as far away from the village, there are generally no villagers coming here, not to mention that it is usually men who go up the mountain to collect firewood and hunt, how can there be women's footprints in this place? And on the whole, these footprints should all come from the same person.

I was about to ask Mu Xiu something, when Mu Xiu said: "These footprints are different from old and new, but they are all the same person, some of them should have been washed away for a while, because of the rain, and there are two lines of footprints back and forth that should have been stepped on recently." ”

"It's just footprints, what's the fuss?" He Yufeng asked puzzled.

Anrufei stretched out her hand and patted him on the head and scolded, "What do you know? If there is no problem, will Brother Mu Xiu observe? ”

"Okay, you two don't quarrel, let Mu Xiu analyze." I spoke.

At this time, Mu Xiu squatted down, he observed for a long time and then said: "Look at these footprints, this "person" is a little strange when he walks, have you noticed these footprints, the footprints in the direction we came from are relatively shallow, but the footprints from the direction we came from are deeper. ”

"This means that ......," I thought for a moment, "that means that this "person" should be empty-handed when he goes in the direction from which we came, and when he comes from the direction from which he came, he is holding something! And it could be a heavy object! ”

Such a remote mountain, and so far away from the village, even if someone fetches firewood from here and returns to the village, they should come empty-handed, and carry firewood when they go back, but in this case, it seems that someone has moved things from the village to the mountains, and this is still a woman's footprints, who will do this?

"And did you find that? Judging by the footprints, this "man" is barefoot, not shoeed, do you understand what I'm going to say? Mu Xiu asked.

It dawned on me that I was excited, and then I said excitedly, "In other words, there are "people" from the village who have taken the child into this mountain, right?" That means we've come to the right place! Hurry, let's hurry to find that culprit! ”

"Slowly, slowly." An Xiangfei suddenly stopped me, and he asked puzzledly, "Aren't we here to find the ancient tomb?" What kind of kid are you talking about, what is the culprit? Why can't I understand? ”

"That's right, Sister Liangxi, what are you talking about with Brother Mu Xiu?" Anjoufi was also puzzled.

I forced myself to calm down and took a deep breath before saying, "I'll explain this matter to you later, but this matter is also related to the ancient tomb, without further ado, we have to hurry up and find the ancient tomb!" ”

Seeing me like this, they all looked at each other suspiciously, in fact, I can't blame me for not telling them in advance, I'm afraid that I said that I came out this time to find the perpetrator of the child's arrest, maybe they won't come, and the rest will be explained to them slowly later.

"Liangxi, I believe in you." An Xiang Flyway.

I threw him a grateful look, "Let's go!" Time waits for no one! ”

Mu Xiu didn't say anything and took the lead in the front, I quickly followed, and the others hesitated in place for a while, and finally followed.

At this time, I leaned over to Mu Xiu and asked him in a low voice, "Mu Xiu, can you guess what kind of monster this is?" Is it really the man-eating youkai that the villagers say? ”

"Maybe." Mu Xiu's tone was not very sure, but I could see that he was also a little nervous, after all, he didn't know what kind of thing he was going to face in front of him.

After walking for about half an hour, we came to a stone mountain, Mu Xiu suddenly came to a place that seemed to be a stone crevice, I saw him stir up a layer of moss with his hands, and there was actually a cave in it, the entrance of this hole was not big, and it could only accommodate a person to cross it horizontally.

Covering his nose with his hand, he took a few steps back before saying, "Come and see." ”

When I reached the entrance of the stone cave, I realized why Mu Xiu was covering his nose, I had just come up and a strong smell of blood came to my nose, and I quickly covered my nose and took several steps back.

"Why does it smell of blood?" I asked Mu Xiu puzzled.

At this time, An Xiangfei's face was not very good-looking, and he said, "This is the smell of human blood." ”

"Human blood?! "I couldn't help but retch a few times.......

Mu Xiu's expression was very solemn at this time, and he said, "It seems that those missing children are here." ”

I was very sad to hear him say this, and I forgot the nausea just now, if this gore is for those missing children, then those missing children are not ...... My eyes were red at the thought of this, and tears were rolling in my eyes, ready to fall at any moment.
