Fear Collection

"padlock?"

Xie Jinxi turned to look at Xie's mother, the smell of dust in the air was so strong that it made Xie Jinxi's eyes and nasal cavity ache and itchy.

Xie Mu was very angry, this dry old lady seemed to be integrated with Fei Chen.

"Son, you shouldn't have come back...but...mother really misses you...want to see you again, but now that I see you, I think it's not your fault, so what does it have to do with you?"

"cocoa……"

Xie Mu's eyes were not focused, she was staring at the void, her lips trembled, but she didn't say anything else after all.

"You go to rest first, and I will make dinner in a while, and I will ask you to come down and eat."

After speaking, Xie Mu turned and left.

Xie Jinxi cautiously walked to the door, looked left and right to make sure that no one was closing the door behind him, inserted the deadbolt and locked it from the inside.

"It's better not to eat the food here." Muta said suddenly in his consciousness.

"Huh?" Xie Jinxi threw the rag aside, went to the closet and took out the mattress and spread it on the bed, and replied subconsciously, "It seems that there is a saying that if a living person eats the things of the underworld, he becomes the underworld. Humans, I will never go back to the world of Yang.”

After laying out the mattress, Xie Jinxi, who was tired and hungry, sat on it, took off the backpack that he had been carrying all the time, opened it and looked at it, and said, "But I have noticed that when I first came to this world, nothing but clothes There is only such a backpack, which only has a flashlight, two sets of clothes, and a bottle of mineral water. In this world setting, I am going back to the village, and I don’t bring enough water.”

"And I've also paid attention to other people. Some of the other taskers don't even have backpacks on their backs. Drinking and drinking water shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, wouldn't we die of hunger and thirst before the wedding feast begins?"

"Sober and sharp." Muta's voice sounded again.

Xie Jinxi smiled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment."

Now, only Muta's voice can make him feel at ease.

Ever since he stepped into Sansuo Village, an extremely ominous feeling has been lingering in his heart, making him always feel that something is wrong.

"After dinner, let's sort out the clues we have found so far. I always feel that something is not right."

Xie Jinxi is used to dormant, observing, and collecting clues until he finds a way out, completes the mission, and escapes, but this mission makes him feel weird and awkward.

Xie Jinxi glanced at the watch on his hand, which was also what appeared on his wrist after he entered this world, and the time displayed now was 6:23 in the evening.

Not long after, Mother Xie knocked on his door and said, "Come down and eat."

Xie Jinxi went downstairs, and there was a round wooden table set up in the dining room outside the kitchen. Mother Xie pointed to the round stool next to her and said, "Sit down, let's eat."

It was getting late at this moment, and the sunlight outside had almost disappeared. There were three white candles standing on the round table, one in front of each person, illuminating the space.

The meals on the table are very simple, a stewed meat, a cold wild vegetable, and a small bowl of rice, it is impossible for Xie Jinxi to choose anything now.

This meal is really good for Jin Xi. I don’t know what kind of meat the stew is made of. It is old and old and has a strong fishy smell. The seasoning is probably only salt. Of course, it is impossible to make a lot of meat this way. tasty.The same goes for cold wild vegetables. The leaves are salty and bitter after being mixed with salt, and the rice also smells musty.

Now is not the time to choose, Xie Jinxi forced himself to eat some, and only after eating did he realize that the white candle in front of Xie's father and Xie's mother was obviously shorter than the one in front of him.

Is it burning too fast?

Xie Jinxi barely filled his stomach, packed up the dishes after dinner, and asked Xie’s mother where there was water to wash the dishes. Xie’s mother said: “There is a faucet in the kitchen, but there is no running water. There is well water in the tank on the ground. Use The well water is enough for washing, and you can use the water in the tank for washing at night or when you are thirsty.”

"Row."

Xie Jinxi took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen and found that the kitchen was also lit with a white candle.

This is very strange. When he came, he saw electric poles outside, and there were electric lights on the roof of the house, but he kept lighting them with candles.And the kitchen is the same, there is a running water pipe, but the well water in the tank is used.

Why is that?

Xie Jinxi kept these doubts in her mind, and was about to go upstairs to rest after washing the dishes, but was stopped by Xie's father again.

"Boy, don't go out and run around at night, remember?"

Xie Jinxi looked back at Father Xie, and said seriously: "Remember."

Going back to his room and closing the door, Xie Jinxi lay on the bed with his eyes open, still thinking about what happened this afternoon, talking to Muta in his mind, and sorting out some details he noticed along the way.

"The strangest thing about this village is Fengfu. The overall architecture of Fengfu really looks like an old building 200 years ago. Many carvings and lacquer paintings have traces of renovation due to old age. But the problem is that building such a building in the past is obviously arrogance. Isn’t the Feng family afraid of being ransacked and exterminated? Although this is deep in the mountains, there are always villagers who go out or pass by merchants and pawns to settle down. Once word spreads, I’m afraid..."

"The second is the living room. Have you noticed today? The ground under the two armchairs that Master Feng and Mrs. Feng are sitting on is a bit dark, and there are bump marks on the tables and chairs..."

Muta and Xie Jinxi can share vision in the second stage of mutual feeling, and Muta also replied: "Yes, there are many similar marks on the window frames and outer walls on the way into the mansion. It can be seen that they have been cleaned, but some things are not clean. No matter how hard you try to cover it up, there will still be clues.”

"It seems that a relatively tragic incident happened in Fengfu, maybe there was a fight." Xie Jinxi said in his consciousness, "It's a pity that I didn't really meet a ghost. If I meet this time, I should try to actively contact and empathize with ghosts. In this way, you can see part of the ghost's memory before death, at least you don't have to be so passive."

Xie Jinxi felt like he was stuck in a quagmire. Both Xie's father and Xie's mother knew something, but they kept talking about him, avoiding speaking out.

The information about the paper figurines, invitations, and ghost marriage was all learned from Feng's father and Feng's mother.

"Feng's father and Feng's mother said about sacrifices, paper brides, female ghosts, etc., I think it's half true." Xie Jinxi said, "That old man Luo should know something, but unfortunately I haven't found a good opportunity to talk to him. He seems to be very afraid of going back to Sansuo Village, and he also knows the housekeeper, Master Feng, and Mrs. Feng."

"Wait, Master Feng said that it was the lonely female ghost who took a fancy to the paper-made bride and sacrifice, and then possessed her to murder Feng's mansion, but such stories usually use female sacrifices directly, after all, there are many " Xie Jinxi suddenly realized the problem.

The set of arguments given by Master Feng is full of loopholes, and there are traces of cover-up in many places.

For example, where did the female ghost come from? It couldn't have appeared out of thin air. It must be that the living person who was murdered became a grieving ghost after death.

It is rare for ghosts to seek wealth and kill them, and the most likely to be those who have revenge. The most likely reason is that Feng's family is the culprit who killed the female ghost, so the female ghost entrusted herself to the paper-wrapped bride to demand her life from Feng's residence.

"In that case, that old man Luo may be an accomplice, and there are also rumors about the traces of fighting and struggling in Feng's mansion."

But is it really that simple?

Although this conjecture is reasonable, but...

"I knew that old man Luo would be taken away forcibly, and he would always spit out something after a heavy beating." Xie Jinxi couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Mutta said: "Tomorrow is not too late."

"No, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be really late." Xie Jinxi denied, "What do you think of that Master Wucao and his apprentice?"

"fraud."

"Yes, they are just two liars who cooperate well and are smart enough. One is a good face and the other is a bad face. Since their master and apprentice are willing to come to the village in the mountains, the person who entrusted them must have promised a lot of money, and the money is touching. But they The two probably also saw the abnormality of Feng's family after they entered Feng's residence, so the apprentice came forward to strongly refuse and cheat Feng's father and Feng's mother."

"Firstly, I was really afraid that Feng's family would be involved in human life, and it would not be good for them to get involved; secondly, they also found it troublesome and tricky, and wanted to make more money."

But this instead exposed the fact that these two people were idiots and liars. Both Xie Jinxi and Muta sensed the yin in Feng's mansion.Not to mention whether this Taoist priest has Taoism or not, even if he has some special abilities like Xie Jinxi, he should turn around and leave without getting involved.

Most of the experienced people can see that the master and apprentice are liars, and if they want to stay, others naturally don't want to stay.

"It's that Wang Dehui, does he really believe that Taoist priest has special abilities, or does he want to take a risk and see if there is any hidden information in Feng's mansion?"

The most dangerous place often yields the most. Fengfu is the most unusual place in Sansuo Village. Staying there overnight may lead to more clues, and one can be more sure of surviving the final wedding banquet.

But sometimes there is only a thin line between taking risks and dying. Xie Jinxi couldn't help silently wishing good luck to Wang Dehui who stayed in Fengfu.

"I'd better go to the Feng Family Ancestral Hall." Xie Jinxi was also tired and drowsy, "Padlock, padlock, Sansuo Village..."

Xie Jinxi also thought of Xie's mother saying, "If you hang the lock, you can't leave Sansuo Village", so if they find the key to the lock, they can survive the wedding banquet and leave Sansuo Village?

"Sleep for a while if you're sleepy." Muta said in his consciousness, "If you go to the ancestral hall tomorrow, it may be a fierce battle."

"Okay..." Xie Jinxi murmured unconsciously, even though his head was still full of messy thoughts, he still fell asleep.

……

"Thank you Jinxi!"

? !

Xie Jinxi was suddenly woken up from his sleep, he looked in the direction of the window in a daze, and found that it was still night, and the person who called him was Muta.

"What's wrong?" Xie Jinxi's heart beat like a drum after being woken up suddenly.

Muta said: "Suddenly there is a small area outside where the temperature has risen, and someone is lighting a fire."

Xie Jinxi got up immediately, without any shoes on, ran to the window a few steps, stuck it on the window sill and looked out carefully.

But although he could see the yard from the location of his room, he could only see a small part of it. He could see the bright light, but he couldn't see the burning thing.

"No, I'm going to go down and have a look."

Xie Jinxi walked back to the bed and put on his shoes, then slipped to the door and gently opened the latch.

Father Xie only said not to let him go out and run around, but he didn't clarify the scope of this "going out", whether it is to stay out of the room door or the gate of Xie's courtyard, Xie Jinxi prefers the latter.

What's more, he is not reckless. Compared with other people, he can empathize with ghosts and control one more soul core. When he meets monsters, Muta can help him fight. No matter how you look at it, the chance of saving his life is relatively high. It is worth him to go down and see .
