Weird Talker

Chapter 419 Beautifying Memories
What humans are best at is to beautify their own memory.

Chen Xin didn't think that the pictures the seven of them saw were real events.

It may have some meaning, but it's definitely a glorified and deformed expression.

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

In the picture of the memory, I am [Xiao Liu], the grumpy Xiao Liu.

Their seven children were adopted by a couple. One of them was a bad gambler and the other was a violent maniac.

On a snowy day like it is now, the seven of them were kicked out of their homes and went to "do things" in the streets.

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

Among them, [Xiaoqi], because he loves to be clean, is often in charge of talking directly to passers-by, while others secretly use tricks behind them, with the ultimate goal of getting "food" or "money".

But that day, they had no harvest. At this time, a little girl suddenly fell down.

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

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

At this time, [Xiaoqi] went to the next block, and although he had a bruised nose and a swollen face, he managed to bring back two steaming steamed buns.

The most critical memory picture also appeared at that time.

【I want to run away...】

【Where can we go? 】

【Everywhere is good...】

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

【…】

[I drugged them, and they fell into a deep sleep. 】

【…】

[I locked the door. 】

【…】

[I tied their necks together with a rope. 】

【…】

【I took their money. 】

In the memory, five children participated 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 mountain?
And in the [Plot Interpretation] just now, it was mentioned that they had already visited once 12 years ago.

At that time, they had already burned the couple to death, so they should have fled...

What are you doing in this [Snow Mountain] again?
Here is the biggest doubt.

Chen Xin frowned, sorting out all the unnatural things bit by bit.

Delete all content that may be beautified by memories...

Why did this [Snow Mountain] become the place where they reunited after 12 years?
And for...

"Chen Xin!"

Just as Chen Xin thought of this, he suddenly heard Wu Tiansheng's call.

The state of immersion in thinking was interrupted, Chen Xin opened his eyes, jumped off the stone, and looked forward.

Wu Tiansheng is a very reliable person, how could he make such an unexpected cry?

In the hazy snow and fog ahead, Chen Xin vaguely saw Wu Tiansheng waving.

He immediately walked over there.

What a big snowstorm...

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

Just as he approached the figure in front of him step by step, seeing that the next step was about to step into the snow and fog, at this moment!
A hand suddenly pressed his shoulder!

Chen Xin was startled and turned his head abruptly.

But the person who looked back was Wu Tiansheng!

"You can't go any further. Look carefully at what is under your feet."

Wu Tiansheng said seriously.

Hearing this, Chen Xin looked at his feet, and at this glance, cold sweat broke out on his back...

The next step he was about to take just now had no path at all, but a cliff hanging in the air!

"Thank you."

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

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

"Yes," Wu Tiansheng pointed in another direction, "but I yelled over there."

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

Chen Xin still had lingering fears.

"At least it's not the Brocken phenomenon." Wu Tiansheng said.

"Be careful, this snow mountain is very weird, but the weirder one is this one, come with me and have a look..."

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

Chen Xin immediately followed him.

"Be careful where you step, stay where I stepped on." Wu Tiansheng reminded.

"Ah."

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

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

After walking for about 5 minutes, Chen Xin was so tired that he began to pant. He looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it would be dark in at most two hours.

The top of the mountain is even more hazy, with a large amount of snow and dust blown by the wind covering up its real appearance.

"arrive."

Wu Tiansheng stopped in his tracks.

Hearing this, Chen Xin looked in his direction.

There are relatively dense tall trees here. In other seasons, there should be a small forest here.

What Wu Tiansheng showed him should not be a forest.

Chen Xin was a little short-sighted, he tried his best to look deep into the bare, snow-covered branches, and finally saw what Wu Tiansheng was pointing at——

a wooden house.

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

But he soon noticed that the footprints extending from his feet to the direction of the wooden house were normal, with consistent step distance and neat size.

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

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

Is there anything in the wooden house that can make such a calm person like Wu Tiansheng show a state of restlessness?
Chen confidently played [-] points of vigilance.

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

Wu Tiansheng said in a low voice.

His complexion was a bit ugly, just like Chen Xin's impression, Wu Tiansheng rarely appeared in such a state.

But this time... he was really out of luck.

I can't figure it out...

Wu Tiansheng can only pin his hopes on this graduate student who 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 returned to Wu Tiansheng from the footprints on the snow: "Yes."

He didn't pat his chest to promise anything, but if he promised, he would try his best.

Chen Xin has already felt Wu Tiansheng's care for him. No matter how incredible the clues in the wooden house are, he will try his best to find the answer.

"Let's go."

Wu Tiansheng brought Chen Xin closer to the wooden house one after the other.

After walking into the bare forest covered with snow, Chen Xin discovered that this place should be the temporary residence of lumberjacks.

Some sawn stumps could be seen all around, but the annual rings were covered by snowflakes.

The door was ajar, and no footprints or snowflakes could be seen through the crack.

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

Chen Xin thought about it in his mind.

"I opened the door." Wu Tiansheng said.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door was slowly pushed open.

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

His pupils gradually constricted, staring fixedly at the corpse lying on the floor of the wooden house.

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

Because the corpse lying in this wooden house is someone they know.

Do not……

It's someone they know from the [role] they're playing.

That woman with a bloated figure and a fleshy face, but now her face is gray and her body is stiff...

"Mother".
