Although everyone in the village suspected that it was done by the legendary "old man", no one had seen that thing before, and no one would be afraid of it even if they said it. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, almost all the laborers at home were dispatched, and they took shovels, hammers and other farm tools to help Wang Yong and his wife find their children.

Of course, it also includes me and Mai Xiaorou.

However, we didn't hold the tools. Along the way, we met an acquaintance, named Zhao Xiaoyu, who is my elementary school classmate. However, our relationship was not very good. At most, we met, just saying hello.

A group of us walked into the mountains along our footprints. After Zhao Xiaoyu saw me, he ran over to say hello to me, and then said to me: "I heard that you brought back a beautiful girlfriend. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. No wonder you haven't come out at home these days, because you are hiding and afraid that you will be seen."

I asked Zhao Xiaoyu about his recent situation and whether he has a girlfriend.

He shook his head and said, "Not yet."

After chatting with Zhao Xiaoyu for a few more words, I knew that he was studying in a university in the capital, but he was quite good. He started making software by himself in his sophomore year and then sold money to some companies. I heard that after the New Year's vacation and when he returned to school, he would set up a company.

I have to say that Zhao Xiaoyu is really capable.

But my thoughts were not on his show-off, but on the footprints on the ground.

When we chased the footprints, we did not damage the traces, so even when we were behind, we could clearly feel the yin energy in the footprints.

From this we judge that the one who "carried away" Wang Yong and his wife's children was definitely not the same person.

As for whether it is the legendary old backer, I dare not say it, because the legendary description is very abstract, that is, I often go to the village to carry the child away secretly, and then it disappears, there is no description of its appearance, and there is even no description of what it carries the child away for, and there is no description.

When I was thinking about these things, Zhao Xiaoyu said again: "Chen Yu, do you know? The Liu Group is going to invest in us after the New Year. It is quite strong and is a large enterprise that can rank among the country."

Liu's Group!?

Zhao Xiaoyu's words made me slightly stunned, because Tang Qing said that the Liu family had a faction in the huge Taoist family and the Liu family joined the Sejong. They established the Liu Group. Could it be that they invested in Zhao Xiaoyu?

Seeing that I seemed interested, Zhao Xiaoyu continued, "Chen Yu, after you graduate, if you don't have a job, come to my company to work for me, and I will give you a high salary!"

When I heard Zhao Xiaoyu say this, I smiled at him and didn't say anything.

Mai Xiaorou said, "Our family Chen Yu will not work for anyone in the future. He is the one who wants to accomplish great things."

After saying that, Mai Xiaorou pulled me forward and walked quickly. She probably didn't want to listen to Zhao Xiaoyu showing off.

Zhao Xiaoyu was also tactful and did not catch up, but went to chat with others. However, he was talking about his own company. Seeing his appearance, he wanted to use a loudspeaker to tell the people in the village that he was going to set up a company as the boss.

But I always have a feeling in my heart that Zhao Xiaoyu and I will really deal with it later. For some reason, I just have such intuition, which is very strange.

After walking a few steps forward, I asked Mai Xiaorou if she knew where these footprints came from.

Mai Xiaorou shook her head and said, "I can't be sure. This is the first time I have encountered such a case, but one thing is certain. This footprint is definitely not left by humans. If it were humans, it would be impossible to walk so far in the snow barefoot, and leave such heavy yin energy along the way."

I said, "It cannot be a ghost, because ghosts have no entity and cannot leave footprints."

Mai Xiaorou smiled at me and said, "Smart!"

I was a little worried and said to Mai Xiaorou: "If this matter is really not done by human beings, then it is a case, your current physical condition..."

Mai Xiaorou said to me: "I think this yin energy is not very heavy, so if you come this time, I will not take action easily, just guide you next to you."

I felt relieved when I heard Mai Xiaorou say that she would not take action.

We walked along the footprint in the snow for more than twenty miles, and many people were so tired that they fell out of the team. Only Wang Yong and his wife, Mai Xiaorou, and several relatives of Wang Yong's family in the village were still chasing the footprints.

At this time, a relative of Wang Yong said, "We have been chasing for so long, and the footprints are still moving forward. Wang Yong, you should call the police first. We may not be able to find the child in a while!"

Although this is a bit discouraged, it is the truth.

Wang Yong and his wife thought they could get the child back with these steps, so they didn't choose to call the police, but now they were a little panicked. When they heard someone calling the police, they realized and quickly called the police with the phone.

At this time, Wang Yong also noticed Mai Xiaorou and me, so he nodded to me, which was considered grateful.

I nodded and gave a gift.

When they called the police, the speed was much slower, and I said to them: "Let's continue chasing forward first."

Mai Xiaorou and I are both practicing Taoism. Although I have not been practicing Taoism for a long time, my breathing adjustment for several months has already achieved results. After walking for so long, I don’t feel tired at all. Instead, I still have a lot of physical strength. Although Mai Xiaorou cannot use magic, her physical strength is still above me.

So after we accelerated, Wang Yong and the others began to get a little unable to keep up.

Seeing that the distance between us was getting farther and farther, Wang Yong shouted from behind: "Chen Yu, be careful."

I turned around and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yong, we will catch up with the thief who steals the child and get the child back for you."

Wang Yong said another word of thanks, but I didn't hear it very clearly, because the wind suddenly blew up, and the sound of the wind disturbed me from hearing Wang Yong's voice.

When he saw Feng Mai Xiaorou, he said, "We should hurry up, otherwise the wind will cover all the footprints with the snow foam, and it will be difficult to find that thing again."

So Mai Xiaorou and I accelerated again.

We have completely left Wang Yong and others behind, and when we look back, there are some people who can't see them.

After chasing for a while, Mai Xiaorou suddenly said, "Be careful."

I sensed the surrounding aura through my breathing regulation, and found that the yin energy nearby began to become heavier.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to the "righteous person".

Our speed began to slow down, and the footprints began to be covered with snow foam. It was no longer clear. We could only barely tell that the footprints had entered a ravine. We walked along the ravine and heard the crying of children not far away.

Mai Xiaorou and I looked at each other and became excited. We should have found that child.

"Wuwuwu, I want mom, wuwuwu...mom...dad..." A child was crying hysterically, and we were getting closer and closer to the sound.

Following the sound, we saw a child sitting on the snow and crying constantly, and there was nothing next to him.

As for that child, I have seen it twice, it is indeed Wang Yong's child.

Before I could think too much, I went over and picked up the child from the snow.

But just as I was holding the child, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the snow beside me and grabbed the child directly.

I hid to the side, and it seemed that something had been stepped on under my feet. I couldn't help but stagger and fell to the ground with the child in my arms.

Mai Xiaorou came over and helped me up, then took the child in my arms and said, "I'll take care of the child. You can deal with that thing. It's not very strong, you should be able to deal with it."

At this time, I also saw clearly the appearance of the black shadow. She was a frozen and bloodless woman. She was wearing a black single dress, tilted her head and naked feet.

Her skin was unusually pale, which was obviously frozen.

"Crack...Crack...Crack..."

The woman made a weird sound, her tone rising and falling, as if she was talking to me, but I couldn't figure out what she meant at all, but judging from her performance, she seemed very angry.

The woman had a heavy yin energy on her body, without any yang energy, so it can basically be concluded that she was not a living person.

But her body is not a virtual body, but a physical body. Could it be a corpse like Mai Xiaorou?

At the same time, I looked at my feet a few times and found that the thing I just stepped on was the corpse of a child, but the child was left with only the white bones wrapped in his clothes!

Is this the child that the woman stole from another village before?

Looking at the woman, I felt a little disappointed. I asked Mai Xiaorou if it was a corpse.

Mai Xiaorou shook her head and said, "It's not a pure corpse, because there is no soul in her body. She is just relying on a wave of injustice to support her consciousness and move."

I don't understand what Mai Xiaorou means.

She continued: "The memory after a person's death will be left to the soul and the brain separately. When a person dies, the brain will die, but the memory hidden in the brain is still there. When the woman dies, although the soul has not turned into a ghost, the resentment in her body is very high. This resentment lingers next to her body for a long time, slowly merges with the memory in the brain to form spiritual consciousness, and then the spiritual consciousness begins to control the body, which is the woman standing in front of her now."

Resentment combined with memory to form spiritual consciousness!?

Mai Xiaorou continued: "That requires a very heavy resentment to form, but she has such heavy resentment, and her soul should form a ghost, but why didn't she become a ghost? Could it be that after her death, someone did a ritual for her to forcibly dispel her soul?"

The woman still did not rush towards us, but continued to make a threatening sound of "click...click...click...click" at us.

Mai Xiaorou continued: "I heard from my grandfather that this kind of thing is called 'resentful spirit' and is no longer human. To kill this kind of thing, you must use her head, stab her with a sharp thing into her brain, or directly smash her brain!"

After hearing what Mai Xiaorou said, I suddenly felt that I might not be able to do that!

At this moment, my Snake King Pendant suddenly reacted, and a feeling of disgust was suddenly passed on to me. Does it hate this resentful spirit too? (To be continued)
