What humans do best is to beautify their memories.

Chen Xin didn't think that the pictures he saw for the seven of them were really what had happened.

It may have some significance, but it is certainly a manifestation of beautification and deformation.

Based on this point of view, if you look back at the picture in your memory, maybe everything will be different.

In the picture of memories, he is [Little Six], a grumpy Little Six.

Seven of their children were adopted by a couple, one a gambler and the other a violent maniac.

On a snowy day as now, the seven of them were kicked out of their homes and went out on the streets to "do things."

The so-called "doing things" is nothing more than using all means to get back the food and clothing, and they don't care about the means.

Among them, [Xiao Qi] is often responsible for talking to passers-by head-on because he loves cleanliness, and others secretly use means in the back, with the ultimate goal of getting "food" or "money".

But that day, when they didn't get anything, a little girl suddenly collapsed.

Chen Xin wasn't sure if it was [Little Three] or "Little Five", but there were only two girls among the seven children, and it must have been one of them who fell ill.

So the other six children and the sick little girl went from house to house begging for food, but they didn't even get a cup of hot water.

At this time, [Xiao Qi] went to the next block, and although he made his nose blue and his face swollen, he successfully brought back two steaming buns.

The most critical memory picture also appeared at that time.

[I want to run away......]

Where can we go? 】

【It's good to ...... anywhere】

[When I left today, I secretly set a fire. 】

【……】

[I drugged them, and they slept deeply. 】

【……】

[I locked the door. 】

【……】

[I put a rope around their necks. 】

【……】

[I took their money. 】

In my memory, five children were involved in the hands-on.

But the strange thing is that there is no mention of [Snow Mountain] at all.

Why did they come to this snow-capped mountain?

And it was also mentioned in the [Plot Interpretation] just now that they had already come once twelve years ago.

At that time, they had already burned the two husbands and wives, and they fled......

What are you doing in this [Snow Mountain] again?

This is where the biggest doubts come in.

Chen Xin's brows furrowed, combing through all the unnaturalness little by little.

Remove anything that might be embellished by memories......

Why did this [Snow Mountain] become the place where they would reunite after 12 years?

Again......

"Chen Xin!"

Chen Xingang thought of this, and suddenly heard Wu Tiansheng's shout.

Interrupted by his immersion in thought, Chen Xin opened his eyes, jumped off the stone, and looked ahead.

Wu was born to be a very reliable person, how could he make such an unexpected shout?

In the hazy snow mist ahead, Chen Xin vaguely saw Wu Tiansheng waving his hand.

He immediately walked in that direction.

It's a big snowstorm......

Chen Xin raised his hand to block his eyes, and the wind made his face hurt.

Just as he approached the figure in front of him step by step, he saw that the next step was about to step into the snow mist, just at this moment!

A hand suddenly pressed his shoulder!

Chen Xin was startled and turned his head abruptly.

However, the person who looked back was Wu Tiansheng!

"You can't go any further, you look carefully at what's under your feet."

Wu Tiansheng said solemnly.

When Chen Xin heard this, he looked at his feet, and at this glance, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back......

The next foothold he was about to take just now was not a road at all, but a hanging cliff!

"Thank you."

Chen Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and immediately walked back.

"Did you call me just now?" Chen Xin asked.

"It's called," Wu Tiansheng pointed in another direction, "but I'm calling over there." ”

"In the snow and fog in the direction of the cliff, your figure is ......"

Chen Xin has palpitations.

"At least not the Brocken phenomenon." Wu Tiansheng said.

"Be careful, this snow-capped mountain is very weird, but what's even weirder is this, you come with me to have a look......"

Wu Tiansheng turned around and led the way to the other side.

Chen Xin immediately stepped forward to follow him.

"Watch your step, and get down to where I've stepped on." Wu Tiansheng reminded.

"Hmm."

Chen Xin looked at his feet, there were two lines of footprints coming and going in the snow below, both of which were left by Wu Tiansheng.

This short-haired athlete has a good physical strength and sense of direction......

After walking for about five minutes, Chen Xin was so tired that he began to gasp, and when he looked up ahead, he saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, and it would be dark in two hours at most.

The summit of the mountain is even hazy, and the large amount of snow dust blown by the wind obscures its true appearance.

"Here we are."

Wu Tiansheng's footsteps stopped.

Hearing this, Chen Xin looked in the direction where he was.

There is a dense density of tall trees, and in other seasons there should be a small grove of woods.

What Wu Tiansheng asked him to see should not be a forest.

Chen Xin was a little short-sighted, he tried his best to look into the depths of the bare and snow-covered branches, and finally saw what Wu Tiansheng was referring to-

A wooden house.

Chen Xin first breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to worry about the snowstorm when he found the wooden house, and he also had a place to spend the night after dark.

But he soon noticed that the footprints that stretched from his feet in the direction of the hut were normal, with the same pace and neat size.

But the footprints coming back from the direction of the wooden house looked messy......

There is no doubt that these two lines of footprints were left by Wu Tiansheng.

What was there in the wooden house that could make such a calm person as Wu Tiansheng show a state of restlessness?

Chen Xindi raised twelve points of vigilance.

"Chen Xin, what you see next in the wooden house is the most important clue."

Wu Tiansheng said in a low voice.

His face was a little unsightly, just like Chen Xin's impression, Wu Tiansheng rarely appeared in such a state.

But this time...... He's really out of the question.

I can't figure it out at all......

Wu Tiansheng can only hope for this graduate student whose brain is getting better and better.

"I can't figure it out, it's up to you."

Wu Tiansheng looked at Chen Xin seriously.

Chen Xin's gaze fell from the footprints on the snow to Wu Tiansheng: "Hmm." ”

He didn't pat his chest and promise anything, but he promised that he would do his best.

Wu Tiansheng took care of him, Chen Xin had already felt it, no matter how unbelievable the clues in the wooden house were, he would definitely try his best to find the answer.

"Let's go."

Wu Tiansheng took Chen Xin and approached the wooden house one after the other.

After walking into the bare forest, which was already covered with snow, Chen Xin realized that this place was supposed to be a temporary residence for lumberjacks.

Some sawn stumps can be seen all around, but the snowflakes are obscuring the growth rings.

The door was hidden, and no footprints or snowflakes could be seen through the cracks.

Wu Tiansheng should have just glanced at it quickly, and immediately turned around and ran back to find himself.

Chen Xin thought about it in his mind.

"I'm open." Wu Tiansheng said.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door was slowly pushed open.

The entry of light made the dim environment clearer and clearer, and the "clues" inside slowly appeared in front of Chen Xin.

His pupils narrowed, and he stared at the corpse lying on the floor of the wooden house.

He finally understood why Wu Tiansheng's face was so ugly.

Because the corpses lying in this wooden house were people they knew.

No......

It's the person they know about the role they play.

The woman with a bloated figure and a sideways face, but at the moment she was gray and stiff......

"Mom".
