The heavy snow stopped in the early hours of the morning.
When Lei went out to check the truck's condition, he also took a look at the road conditions. If snow chains were installed, there wouldn't be any major problems with normal travel.
In addition, there are government-arranged vehicles to spray de-icing agents, so by the time they turn back, all the snow on the road should have melted. Taking advantage of this gap between the snow melting and the road refreezing, leaving shouldn't be a big problem.
With Hu Da's intervention, by the time everyone who had been resting in the room came out to continue their journey, no one remembered the couple who had been there the day before.
Only when Song Mengmeng turned around and looked at the wall to the side did she notice that two snowmen, one big and one small, had suddenly appeared there.
"Wow, these two snowmen are so fun to build! Someone even thought of dressing them up!" When Song Mengmeng discovered the two snowmen, Yao Jing, who came out behind her, also saw the pair of snowmen and couldn't help but laugh and tease her.
If she still had the memory of last night, she should be able to tell at a glance that the snowman was wearing the same clothes that Huo Si wore yesterday.
Hu Da glanced at Song Mengmeng, offering no further comment, but simply urged her softly, "Let's go."
"Is it really okay to just leave that snow woman alone?!"
Once the car started moving again, Hu Yue, who hadn't commented on the matter since last night, finally couldn't help but speak up, asking in a low voice, "From what she said yesterday, it seems like she's killed more than one man."
"The Snow Woman's power does not come from ice and snow. It comes from the negative emotions provided by those heartless scumbags! And the lingering resentment of those girls who have been hurt by those scumbags."
That Huo Si from yesterday, he has at least four lives on his hands!
Song Mengmeng shifted her gaze from the snowy scene outside the window, tightened the small blanket wrapped around her, and then began to tell Hu Yue about some memories she had obtained from that man through the Dream Eater.
"He was lying all day yesterday! In fact, before the Snow Woman, he had bought a girl from human traffickers!"
That money was obtained by his family by selling his two older sisters!
After the girl was bought by the Huo family, Huo Si treated her like a slave! Under Huo Si's coercion, the girl gave birth to two daughters in succession.
In the Huo family's old tradition, daughters are considered a financial burden and are not worthy of living in this world to waste food!
They threw the baby into the mountains, and it was because of this cruel treatment that the poor mother was driven insane. While fleeing, she was chased by Huo Si and, in her panic, fell off a cliff.
It was during this period of despair, when Huo Si had lost both money and love, that he met Xue Nu.
The Snow Woman wouldn't choose someone to attach herself to without a reason; it was the resentment of the unjustly killed woman that attracted her!
Although the Yuki-onna is a yokai, she is not one that indiscriminately kills innocent people.
She feeds on the resentment of women who died unjustly, and in doing so, she also takes on the desire for revenge of those unjustly killed souls!
From a certain perspective, this is actually a voluntary causal employment relationship.
Even the Heavenly Dao cannot oppose this cause-and-effect relationship!
Huo Si killed that girl and her unborn child, including the two baby girls he had previously abandoned in the mountains. He has a total of four lives on his hands!
However, due to the isolation and ignorance in the mountains and forests, all of this is very likely to be buried forever!
However, the appearance of the Snow Maiden brought Huo Si the retribution he deserved ahead of time!
From a certain perspective, this is quite gratifying!
"It's actually very simple to make the Snow Woman disappear. If there are no women in this world who have been mistreated or harmed by men, then the Snow Woman will naturally lose the sustenance that sustains her and will naturally dissipate into the world."
Hu Da knew a bit about the Snow Woman, so she turned around and looked at Hu Yue half-jokingly and half-seriously: "So you don't need to worry. Even if the Snow Woman lives in China, she won't cause any big trouble."
Because this kind of monster only befriends the vengeful spirits of women who died unjustly! She's probably already found her next host by now!
Hearing Song Mengmeng and Hu Da say that, Hu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her phone, glanced at the time, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, today is the Winter Solstice!"
"Then let's find a restaurant later and have dumplings for dinner!" Hu Da readily agreed with Hu Yue, saying, "Eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice is said to prevent your ears from freezing!"
"Great! Let's have some authentic Northeastern dumplings!" Hu Yue laughed, quite pleased with Hu Da's suggestion. She even started to eagerly open the map to find the nearest place to stay.
Because of the heavy snow, they couldn't drive too fast along the way, so they didn't arrive at the nearby small city of Wuhe until it was almost dark.
Although this prefecture-level city is not large, it is small but complete in every way.
They first found a hotel to rest, and then, without even washing up or resting, they went out to find food.
Coincidentally, there was a food street not far from the hotel where they were staying. Because there was a middle school nearby, it was dinner time, and almost every restaurant was packed with people.
Song Mengmeng and her friends went into a dumpling restaurant and, as planned, ordered dumplings and waited for them to be served.
