"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful of your words."
Master Bai was concerned about these things, but Chen Ge was different. "It's fine. Just follow behind me."
Holding the hammer, he walked through the courtyard and entered the house.
The layout of the old home was interesting. There was a bedroom on the left and right side of the main hall. There were no beds in the bedroom, and there was a coffin in each room.
"Have you noticed a unique characteristic of all the houses in Coffin Village?" Chen Ge held the hammer and looked around.
"Are there coffins in the house?" Master Bai pushed the door open. He did not want to touch anything here.
"No." Chen Ge shook his head. "The houses in Coffin Village don't have a stove."
Ol 'Wei and Master Bai shared a look. If Chen Ge did not mention it, they would not have noticed this problem.
"A stove is a place to cook. Without a stove, where would they go to eat?" Chen Ge sat on the chair inside the room, and his words slowed down. "Or do they not need to eat? This place was basically a tomb for the dead to live in? From this perspective, it makes sense that there are no beds in the bedroom but coffins. "
His voice was calm, but it sent chills down the two listeners' spines.
"White lanterns, white paper on the door, and coffins in the house, could this whole village be a ghost village?" Chen Ge thought back to the information he had found when he was building the Minghun scenario. "I once heard a story. During the war, a village deep in the mountains was massacred. Several years later, someone got lost in the mountains and accidentally wandered into this village. When he saw that every family in the village was having a funeral, and everyone had a weird expression on their faces, the person did not dare ask and escaped from the village in the middle of the night. When he returned in the morning, he realized that the village had been abandoned for a long time. There was no sign of living people living here. "
"You mean, we've walked into a ghost village?" Ol 'Wei asked with uncertainty.
"The situation in Coffin Village is scarier than Ghost Village. I have a feeling that there is a big secret hidden here." Chen Ge placed the hammer on his lap and used his hand to support his chin. "The composition of the people in this village is quite complicated. There are natives who turned into ghosts, villagers who escaped from Coffin Village but were captured, and then there are us outsiders."
"The old lady's ghost should not have lied about the outsiders. Other than us, there are other people trapped in this village. No matter who they are, I think we need to work together."
"Then how should we unite? We can't find them at all. "
"We can only adapt to the situation. Keep an eye out." After Chen Ge said that, he looked outside. It was just a casual glance, but he found half a human face lying on the wall.
"Someone's here!" He stood up.
The sudden noise caused Ol 'Wei and Master Bai to be on high alert. "What did you see?"
"There's a human face on the wall. I think I've seen it before in the first house. At the time, it was just a flash, and then I saw the graveclothes come out from behind the door. It has been following us." Chen Ge told Ol 'Wei and Master Bai what had happened.
"He's next door. Should we go and take a look?" Ol 'Wei suggested. He did not want to wander around anymore.
"If the person wants to run, we won't be able to catch him." Chen Ge looked at the wall. "I have a feeling that he has been following us for a reason. It doesn't look like he's trying to harm us."
As he said that, the door to the house slowly opened, and a red graveclothes stood at the door.
"Don't be afraid, this was the thing that was following us earlier."
In the dark night, the door to the house was opened, and a graveclothes stood outside. Anyone who saw this would feel nervous.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Chen Ge stood inside the house and hid the hammer behind him.
The person seemed to be conflicted, and it took him a long time to come to a decision.
The graveclothes were opened in the middle, and there was a thin and short man hiding inside.
His face was tense, and his mouth hung open for a long time before he said, "I'm here to help you."
"Help us? Sure, come in and we can talk. "Chen Ge smiled kindly. He held the hammer and wanted to lure the man into the house.
The man shook his head. He had followed Chen Ge for a long time, and he knew how dangerous this kind young man was.
"I'll talk outside." The man placed the graveclothes to the side. When his body completely came out from the graveclothes, Chen Ge saw that the man's arms were different in size.
"I noticed you when you entered the village, but before I got close, the three of you were tricked away by the ghost. I was worried, so I followed behind you in the graveclothes, hoping to save you. "
The man sounded sincere, but Chen Ge did not believe that he would take such a big risk to save a few strangers. "You followed us all the way just to save us?"
"Saving you is also saving myself. You might not believe me, but if we don't escape from this village tonight, everyone will die." The man's voice was low, but Chen Ge could hear the fear and anxiety in it. "The door will open tonight, and the thing will come out from behind the door again."
"The door will open tonight?" Chen Ge frowned. "You're a native here, right? Can you tell us what exactly happened in Coffin Village? How did it end up like this? "
"Coffin Village? That's a fitting name. " The man closed the wooden door and walked to the center of the courtyard. From his appearance, it was hard to tell how old he was. "No one knows what this village was originally called, but the reason it ended up like this should have something to do with a woman.
"Our village was deep in the mountains, isolated from the outside world. It was a chaotic time, and it was hard for the men to find a wife. They had to marry each other, and their offspring were all kinds of people.
"At the time, the village leader thought that if this continued, they would all die out, so after discussing with the villagers, they decided to 'kidnap wives' from outside the mountains.
"The first few times, nothing happened. The new wives would be locked up if they disobeyed. They wouldn't be given water or food, and if they dared to run away, they would be caught and beaten up. Slowly, they became obedient.
"Until one time, they brought back a young lady from a school. She was very stubborn, and she refused to obey them no matter what.
She tried to escape several times, and in the end, she was almost beaten to death.
"The woman only stopped running after she had a child. The villagers thought that she would stop resisting.
