The system takes the poor cub to find his father

Quiet night, Wen Mansion

At this time, the banquet hall was brightly lit and bustling.

In contrast, the front hall was empty, with a sense of loneliness. In the main hall, a large coffin was placed alone.

The night wind howled, mercilessly hitting the window frame, making waves of creepy whimpering sounds. The sound was like weeping and complaining, as if the dead were telling the sorrow in their hearts.

The flickering candle flame danced in the wind, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if it could go out at any time. The flickering light could not dispel the gloom in the air. The smoke from the brazier was curling and rising, which looked even more eerie under the cold moonlight.

The maid passed by in a hurry, with a panicked look on her face. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the gloomy mourning hall, and only wanted to get away from this terrible place as soon as possible.

Listening to the whimpering sound of the wind, she felt a chill rushing to her head, and the hairs on her body stood up. With every step she took, her heart rose to her throat, as if something terrible was chasing her from behind.

Suddenly, a slight clicking sound came from the mourning hall. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet night. The maid was frightened by the sudden sound. She felt her heart stopped beating instantly, and an indescribable fear enveloped her.

She felt a chill rushing to her head, and all the hair on her body stood up. She let out a sharp cry.

"Ah ah ah"

He closed his eyes and ran forward quickly, afraid that something would catch up with him.

Because she was so nervous, she was a little panicked and didn't notice the person walking towards her.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, accompanied by a dull crash, the two of them collided fiercely. The maid was knocked back and fell heavily to the ground, and the person who was hit was also knocked back by the huge impact and almost fell down.

"Ahhhhh, don't grab me, don't grab me!" The maid thought she had seen a ghost and her face turned pale, with cold sweat on her forehead. She huddled in fear, hugging herself and shaking.

"Xiao Cui, what are you doing? You are running so fast and not paying attention to the road!" The person who was hit grimaced in pain, and seeing Xiao Cui's abnormal behavior, he felt a little annoyed.

Hearing the familiar voice, the frightened maid timidly opened her eyes cautiously, and met the angry eyes of the opposite party, but her heart fell instead.

"Sister Shuiqin, is that you? I'm so scared!" Xiaocui patted her chest.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?" Shuiqin looked at Xiaocui's panic-stricken appearance, her heart full of doubts.

"Sister, you don't know. I just walked over from the mourning hall. It was dark and spooky. I'm timid to begin with, and there was a sound coming from inside. I was scared to death!"

Xiao Cui said with lingering fear. Thinking of the scene just now, her body began to tremble involuntarily again.

"Look at how brave you are. There's nothing to be afraid of." Shuiqin looked at her and shook her head, then pulled her up from the ground with amusement.

"Sister, you know how horrible that person's death was." Xiao Cui felt her scalp tingling and she shivered unconsciously when she thought of the dead lady.

Thinking of the dead lady, a trace of pity flashed across Shuiqin's eyes. Thinking of the only child left by the lady, she couldn't help but sigh.

I don’t know what happened to the child?

I heard the maids talking about how the child accidentally fell into the pond this afternoon because he was playing too much, and he hasn't woken up yet. I guess he's in big trouble.

I still remember that when the lady was dying, the ignorant child knelt beside the bed of her skinny lady, sobbing softly, with tears dripping down his face. He looked so pitiful. Anyone who saw him would want to hug him.

How could such a cute and well-behaved cub fall into the water just because of playing around after its mother died? There must be something fishy going on.

The lady hadn't been gone for seven days, but the mansion couldn't tolerate that kid anymore, so they attacked him. Shuiqin couldn't help but sigh.

But she was just a little maid in the mansion and could not do anything. After comforting Xiao Cui and saying goodbye to her, Shui Qin came to the mourning hall.

At this time, the candles in the mourning hall had been blown out by the wind, and it was pitch black. She took out the tinder and carefully relit the candles. With the illumination of the candles, she could see the scene in the mourning hall clearly. The tablet that was originally standing had inexplicably fallen down and lay alone on the ground.

No wonder Xiaocui heard the noise just now. Shuiqin took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped off the dust on it, and put the tablet back to its original place.

Shuqin lit the incense, bowed three times respectfully, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

"Madam, if you are still alive, please save the unconscious young master. Pray that he will wake up soon."

She prayed softly, hoping that her lady's spirit in heaven could hear her request.

During the days when the coffin was kept, only the little cub had been kneeling here to keep vigil. Shuiqin had walked by here several times, and the little cub had always knelt here with his back straight. Seeing that little figure, she felt sad.

If ghosts and gods really exist, I hope the lady can bless that poor little kid!

...

In the banquet hall, the head of the Wen family was toasting and smiling, not at all sad about his wife's death and his young son's injury. He was in high spirits, as if nothing had happened.

In the side room of the master bedroom in the backyard, the little cub, who was less than three years old, had a pale face, no blood on his lips, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted. The child was injured, but no one was taking care of him in the room. The window was wide open, creaking in the wind, and the child's face became even paler.

Wen Xu felt as if he had come to a dark place, and it was very quiet all around. He was a little scared.

"Mother...is afraid..."

No matter how he called out, no one paid any attention to him. The little boy couldn't stop crying.

He remembered that his mother had fallen asleep and everyone said she would never wake up again...

Although he didn't quite understand it, the little cub felt a tightness in his chest and felt very uncomfortable.

His mother said that he would have to protect himself in the future.

But where is this place?

Wen Xu squatted on the ground, wrapped his little arms around his calves, and buried his little face in his knees, trying to find some sense of security for himself. He was still mumbling to himself to comfort himself:

"Don't be afraid... Xu'er, don't be afraid..."

"Xu'er...I can...protect myself..."

"Don't let...mother...worry..."

"Good boy..."

Suddenly, he heard a conversation in his ears.

"Ding ding, a body suitable for the host is detected." A mechanical voice sounded.

"Is this the host you found for me?" The ethereal voice sounded very dissatisfied. "This is it... poor little thing whose mother died and whose father doesn't love her. I don't want it. No, you have to find me another one."

"Warning host, this is the only body on this plane that is 90% compatible with you. If you refuse, there will be no other suitable host for you. The only result that awaits you is that your soul power dissipates and you are wiped out by the world." The mechanical voice sounded again.

"Okay, okay, let's take this one." The voice clearly heard the murderous aura contained in the system's bland voice, and did not dare to bargain anymore. Although he still felt disgusted, he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.

Wen Xu didn't understand what they were saying, but he felt an unprecedented fear in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, the dark place suddenly lit up, and he suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain coming towards him, as if an invisible force was pushing him. Wen Xu had a splitting headache, as if his soul was being torn apart.

He's been discovered!

Wen Xu vaguely heard that the originally disdainful voice suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and it said excitedly: "I didn't expect that the original owner has not dissipated yet. If I devour him, can I merge with this body 100%?"

"That's right in theory," the mechanical voice replied.

Then Wen Xu felt as if a fireball like the sun was madly attacking him, and his soul felt like it was about to melt.

"Waaaaa..." The pain all over the body made the little cub cry loudly uncontrollably.

However, no one came to rescue him.

Just when the little cub was in despair, suddenly a voice came into his mind:

"Ding... A cub that meets the requirements has been detected, binding in progress..."
