Xu Shu and Ji Chuan visited each house along the way, and soon came to the house with the red paper on the door.

Wang Run said before that this household should be surnamed Yang.

He was about to knock on the door, but saw the closed door opened, and Gu Yu and Gu Mengmeng came out from inside.

Both sides were stunned for a moment, Gu Yuxian smiled and said: "It seems that our side moves faster."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at the closed door, then quickly reached out and tore off the red paper on the door.

They found a place far away from the villagers' houses to talk, and Gu Yu said, "We didn't find anything all the way there, but the Yang family is a little weird."

Gu Mengmeng nodded: "It should be said that it is simply too weird! It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door and invited us in. Didn't it mean that someone in their family was sick? We said we wanted to visit, but the woman said that her husband was sick. What kind of infectious disease can't see people, no matter what we say, she won't let us into the house."

"However, the man's groaning can be heard outside." Gu Yu said, "It does sound like he is sick, and his voice is very painful."

She took out the red paper and looked at it carefully, a little disappointed: "There is nothing on it."

Xu Shu also talked about the boy Xiaoding, and then asked, "By the way, have you ever touched that stone statue in the temple?"

"No." Gu Yu glanced at Gu Mengmeng: "That thing looks a bit scary, we won't touch it casually. But Bai Jiu and Lin Ze seem to have touched it before, because they searched carefully everywhere in the temple. It is estimated that we will encounter a stone statue."

Xu Shu frowned: "I'm very suspicious that the taboo is related to the stone statues. I don't know if something will happen to them."

The moment he was sure that there were indeed two boys with completely opposite personalities in that family, Xu Shu became even more suspicious that the stone statue was the taboo of this game.

He even had a guess—are the two boys twins, or one person suddenly split into two?

The reason for this idea is because of the appearance of the stone statue.

It has only one body, but has grown two heads, isn't it just like a person is gradually splitting from the head?

Of course, he wasn't sure if the taboo was touching the stone statue.Maybe it's not the touch, but something else, but nine times out of ten it's inseparable from the stone statue.

However, the conditions for ghosts to kill are usually not too difficult to trigger, otherwise it would be a win-win situation for the player, so he still thinks... it should be a touch.

Gu Mengmeng panicked: "You mean, the two of them have already triggered the taboo?! No way, they are very good people..."

"No, I'm just guessing like this," Xu Shu said, "Whether it's this or not, I should know tomorrow at the latest."

Those who trigger the taboo will not live for too long.

They were silent for a while, Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and said, "Then what should we do now? Shall we go to the mountain to find them?"

"No." Ji Chuan rarely expressed his opinion.

He raised his right hand and slowly pointed to a house not far ahead.

The eyes of the three looked over.

It was a very ordinary house, like other houses, with low courtyard walls.

The difference is that a simple thatched shed was built on the left side of the house, which seems to be used to store firewood.

"You burn it," Ji Chuan said, "Split up and go back to the village chief's house."

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and was a little funny when he realized it.

This simple and crude method really suits him.

Gu Yu also figured it out, and suddenly said: "Hey, the plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Although it is simple, it should be very effective. Okay, then we two are responsible for setting the fire. When will we act?"

Ji Chuan looked up at the sky, and said calmly, "As soon as possible."

It was almost noon, and it was a fine weather with clear skies, and there was still a breeze blowing in the mountains and forests.

If you put a fire on, the wind will help the fire, and I am afraid it will be difficult to extinguish it for a while.

And people who live on the side of the mountain know what a fire in the mountain means.

Therefore, once a fire is discovered, all the people in the village will definitely gather to put out the fire.

The village head is old and I'm afraid he can't do anything, but his family must lead by example and be the first to go.The village chief himself would have rushed to the scene due to his duties.

By that time, there will be no one in the village head's house.

The four agreed to set the fire half an hour later, and Xu Shu and Ji Chuan went back to the village chief's house.

Gu Yu and Gu Mengmeng also went back to the temporary residence, dragging the villagers while the other sneaked into the kitchen, took a lighter from their house, and took half a barrel of vegetable oil away.

In order not to be seen by others, they went around behind the house after they came out, and rushed to the back of the family's house quietly.

The house that Ji Chuan chose was relatively far from the village head's house, which just happened to delay it for a while, allowing the two of them to have more time to open that room.

When Xu Shu and the others returned, Wang Run was sitting in the yard washing vegetables.

Ji Chuan returned to the room with a look of unwillingness to talk to others, and Xu Shu chatted with Wang Run in the courtyard.

He asked: "Have you ever thought about moving out of this village? It's so inconvenient in this mountain."

Wang Run said: "Our Wangjiacun ancestors have lived here for generations, maybe we are used to it, and we don't find it inconvenient. You see, these wild vegetables are still not edible in the city."

Xu Shu helped him take care of the dishes, and asked again: "But it's not convenient to see a doctor. Yesterday you said that someone in the Yang family was sick. We wanted to visit just now, but we didn't expect to see it as soon as we entered..."

When he said this, he stopped deliberately, showing a look of hesitation.

Sure enough, Wang Run was fooled, and immediately asked, "What did you see?"

"It's that patient..." Xu Shu hesitated, "Actually, I wonder if I'm delusional—why does he have two heads?"

Wang Run's expression changed slightly for a moment. Although he quickly recovered, Xu Shu could see clearly.

At that moment, a hint of panic flashed across his face.

Did you guess right?

Xu Shu's fingers pinched lightly unconsciously.

What he guessed in his mind was that some villager in the village would start to split for some unknown reason, and after the split, he would become two people like Xiao Ding.

And the "patient" of the Yang family should still be in the period of splitting.

The red paper pasted on the door may mean that "someone in this family is in a period of division".

"Haha, how could someone have two heads?"

Wang Run laughed out loud, as if he had heard some very ridiculous joke: "This must be your blind eye. Uncle Yang has tuberculosis. You know, this is a contagious disease. Speaking of which, he usually stays in the room. You can’t come out, even I haven’t seen him for a long time, how could Aunt Zhang let you in?”

Xu Shu scratched his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I also think that it is unlikely that someone will grow two heads... Maybe it's because the room is too dark, I misread it. By the way, tuberculosis should be curable." Well, why not take the person to the hospital?"

"Come on, he's still in the early stages, and he seems to say that he can be cured by taking medicine, so he bought medicine and kept it at home, and he will go for a review every two weeks."

Wang Run's expression was normal when he said it, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

Xu Shu nodded in understanding, and didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked about the names of the wild vegetables in the pot.

After chatting for a few more words, there was a burst of panic shouting outside.

The two stopped talking, Xu Shu looked at Wang Run with a very blank expression: "Did you hear that, what's going on?"

At this time, Wang Run's parents opened the door first and walked out quickly.

Wang Run put down the wild vegetables in his hand and stood up, walked towards the door and said, "I'll go and see first..."

Before he finished speaking, his father came back: "Let's go! Wang Fugui's house is on fire!"

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen and took out the two plastic buckets inside, "Help grandpa and hurry over here!"

Wang Run hurriedly ran to the village chief's room, and at the same time the village chief had already opened the door and walked out.

Although the village chief was quite old, he still looked very tough on the outside. He waved his hand and walked away without Wang Run's support.

Wang Run followed closely behind, frowning as he walked and said, "Why did it catch fire when it was fine?"

Xu Shu made a gesture to follow, and walked a few steps outside the door, seeing that the people in front didn't pay attention to him at all, so he stopped and returned to the house.

Ji Chuan came out and said, "Watch out."

Xu Shu nodded and stopped by the gate.

Ji Chuan went over to look at the door panel, and frowned slightly.

Unlike the other rooms here, the door looked solid and impossible to force open with fists or kicks.

He turned his head and looked around, then walked to the eaves below, took a hoe that was leaning against the wall, and swung it hard at the door lock.

Loud bangs of "bang bang" came one after another, and after five or six times, the lock buckle broke.

Ji Chuan took it off with all his strength, then turned to Xu Shu and said, "Okay."

Xu Shu poked his head and glanced outside the gate, but seeing no one coming, he closed the door and walked over.

At the same time, Ji Chuan has already pushed open the door.

A strong and disgusting stench hit the face.

It wasn't the smell of blood or rancidity, but the stench of urine and feces that had been deposited for an unknown amount of time.

Ji Chuan frowned and pinched the tip of his nose. He turned his head and saw Xu Shu approaching, so he stepped aside and said softly, "Go."

"..." Xu Shu covered his nose and said, "Don't go too far."

Ji Chuan frowned slightly, and smiled lightly.

Xu Shu crossed the threshold with one kick.

Due to the orientation of the room and the fact that there seemed to be no windows here, it was much darker than other rooms.

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked carefully around the dark room, and finally saw a figure in the corner on the right side of the room.

The man squatted at the foot of the bed, and the shadow protected him tightly, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

Xu Shu stared at him, reached into his pocket with his left hand and took out his mobile phone to illuminate it.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, his eyeballs almost fell out of shock——

The man's hands and feet were tied, and a cloth strip was tied around his mouth, and his slightly long bangs were wetly pasted on his forehead.

And the bangs were wet with blood.

Xu Shu saw that his entire face was almost covered with blood.

But even though the opponent's entire face was red, even though the bangs covered his eyes, Xu Shu still recognized him. This person...was Wang Run!

"What are you doing?!"

Accompanied by the sound of the door opening, Wang Run's loud questioning suddenly came from the gate.
