Zhou Rui almost forgot about his foot pain, quickly jumped away from the spot, and ran to the door.

He cursed: "Who put the coffin at home?!"

"It's normal to put coffins in rural areas." Although Xu Xiaoyuan was also afraid, "Many old people will prepare coffins and shrouds for themselves in advance."

She also thought it was too coincidental that it was a little unlucky to sit on the coffin when she sat down.

Zhou Rui realized that he didn't seem to be doing anything, so he relaxed again, "I just sat in a coffin, and I didn't do anything."

With this incident, everyone's attention was focused on the coffin.

The coffin was originally placed in the innermost place, and dust had accumulated on it. If Zhou Rui hadn't sat on it, it might take a while to find out.

Yin Baihe reached out and touched the edge of the coffin, "There are no nails."

The white and slender fingers formed a sharp contrast with the black coffin wood, and several people looked at it without blinking.

He withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes to think.

Xu Xiaoyuan was puzzled: "What's not nailed?"

"Usually, nails are used to put people in." Xi Le looked at Yin Baihe, "That means... this coffin hasn't been used yet?"

Yin Baihe nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Rui groaned from the side: "Then what did the family use for burial?"

This house has been unoccupied for a long time. There is a high probability that the owner has passed away, but the prepared coffin is useless.

Xi Le said: "It may also be that the coffin was not finished when he died."

So it was packed and put in, the owner had already been buried.

But why isn't the door locked?

They all belong to the same village. If a family dies, there won't be even a villager with a locked door, right? Or is this family's character too bad?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a dull voice.

Xi Le saw that Yin Baihe had already pushed the coffin board away, and Xu Xiaoyuan and Zhou Rui stepped back.

The coffin was empty inside.

Yin Baihe closed the coffin again.

Xi Le has a good eye, the coffin is so heavy, he can push it away by himself, and he has quite a lot of strength.

It looks like a bright future.

After proving that there was nothing in the coffin, Zhou Rui became more courageous, even though he is now a half-patient.

After he found something in the middle hall, he turned around and coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention: "According to my observation, this room is lived by a man."

He looked up proudly.

Xu Xiaoyuan felt that it was so strange that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Zhou Rui didn't look at her at all, "Look, there is medicine on it. I saw my dad use it before, and it was specially for men. Then there is the window below here, and there is only one pair of bowls and chopsticks in it."

No one answered, it was very quiet.

Xi Le was amused in her heart, and followed his words to save face and asked: "So?"

Zhou Rui immediately came to a conclusion: "So he is a bachelor!"

After listening, Xu Xiaoyuan burst out laughing.

Zhou Rui glared at him, then turned to look at the others, "What do you think of my guess, do you have the potential to be a detective?"

Xu Xiaoyuan said: "I don't know."

Zhou Rui didn't want to listen to her at all, and looked at the remaining two people, a bit like a child who wanted candy after showing off.

Yin Baihe said: "The first half is correct."

The implication is that it is wrong in the end.

Zhou Rui's face immediately collapsed, "What is it if you're not a bachelor?"

Xu Xiaoyuan guessed: "Maybe he is a widower?"

The more the two talked, the more strange it became. Yin Baihe looked calm and said unhurriedly: "There were two people living in this house before."

The window was worn out and creaked.

Yin Baihe glanced at Zhou Rui, "You know this medicine is for men, but you don't know its purpose?"

"……"do not know.

Yin Baihe said: "Aphrodisiac."

Xi Le realized it later, why did he know so much about it?

Where did Zhou Rui expect this, with a strange expression on his face: "Maybe... it has something to do with a woman in the village."

After he finished speaking, he knew that he was wrong.

Yin Baihe reached out and moved away the candlestick above the nave, behind which was pasted a faded "囍".

Xi Le said, "They are husband and wife."

Because there is only one room in this house.

"Both husband and wife are dead?" Xu Xiaoyuan suddenly came to his senses, "Then there should be a sequence, or they died together?"

That's hard to tell.

There were no more clues in the main room, so Xi Le walked into the bedroom. The things inside were messy, the things on the bed were not cleaned up, and many holes had been bitten by mice.

And there was not even women's clothes in the closet.

Xi Le felt something flash in his mind, and glanced at Yin Baihe: "Everything used by women is gone here."

"It's really possible that he is a widower." Xu Xiaoyuan felt smart for the first time.

"Maybe he killed his wife." Zhou Rui curled his lips, "There is also ghost marriage, have you never heard of it?"

Xu Xiaoyuan complained: "We're all married in the dark, what aphrodisiacs are we still using?"

There was a pair of dusty cloth slippers beside the bed. Xi Le checked the size with his naked eyes, and it should be worn by men.

The toe of the shoe is facing the door, which means that you have not worn it after getting into bed. Under what circumstances would you get out of bed without wearing shoes?

After going out and never coming back?

The bedroom is very small, except for the cabinets, which are just a few wooden boxes, which have long been tattered, and there is nothing.

Several people intend to leave.

Xi Le was the last to close the door, and the wooden door creaked.

It was as if no one had ever been in the empty room. After an unknown amount of time, there was a dull knocking sound.

thump.

Boom, boom.

When I came out, the sun was gone outside the house.

The time here seems to pass very fast during the day, and very slowly at night.

No one lived around this room, but after coming out, Xi Le found several villagers passing by.

Xu Xiaoyuan whispered, "They were all peeking at us just now."

Xi Le also found out.

These villagers seemed to be very surprised that they entered that room, and there was a little fear in their eyes——

Did ghosts really live there?

Xi Le was even more sure that this time it was a female ghost. As for the cause of death, he was probably beaten to death, probably a wife murder case.

In the evening, everyone gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village.

It may be that people have died today, and no one died today. Everyone was relieved, and their tense spirits relaxed a lot.

"Let's exchange information." Lu Donghai said.

"Anyway, the women here are quite timid, and they don't allow children to come into contact with us, and they say they don't know about the dead."

The man snorted and became angry: "If it weren't for them, we would be trembling here?!"

"I asked the mountain gods, and I came up with something. Their mountain gods send some grain and cooked food to the mountain."

"It has nothing to do with the mountain god?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this ghost is indeed a female ghost." Lu Donghai frowned tightly, "Besides, she can't give birth to children. In rural areas, sons are preferred to daughters. Maybe they want sons."

He continued: "Our current guesses are two—first, because the female ghost was selected to sacrifice to the mountain god. Second, she was simply beaten to death."

Xi Le's hearing was not far from his guess.

In their team, Yin Baihe didn't talk much, Zhou Rui and Xu Xiaoyuan were more courageous than the other, and they didn't expect to make any noise at all.

"We found a room here with a coffin in it. There used to be a couple living in the room. Both of them should have died. The wife probably died first."

Lu Donghai immediately connected, "Maybe he was beaten to death by her husband!"

"It's too cruel to be beaten to death if you can't give birth to a son."

"So to take revenge on men, how many men die?" someone asked.

"It's very possible, but there are also women who died, so I can't be sure." Lu Donghai nodded, and asked again: "Have you seen the mirror?"

Xi Le shook his head.

All the women's things in the house are gone, let alone the mirror.

Fortunately, things have progressed a bit today. Just as they were talking, the man who asked them to eat appeared again, like an NPC who checked in for three meals a day.

Although the dinner was not rich, everyone had no appetite.

When he saw Yin Baihe, the village chief's face was really not very good. After all, anyone who is said to have no son will die like this.

Xi Le didn't have much appetite, so she ate some and went to the door.

Lu Donghai then came out.

Xi Le asked: "How many people did you live in the last world?"

Lu Donghai fell into memory, "I remember that the number of people when I went in was about the same as this time, but only three people came out in the end."

Shi Le's expression was not very good.

Looking at it this way, there are still ten of them, and there are still two days left. At least another accident will happen. This is too cruel.

After dinner, it was almost dark.

Time waited for no one, Lu Donghai told everyone to go back to the house and stay.

In the past, getting dark was a very common thing, and some people even didn't go home until midnight, but now it's completely different.

Who knows if there will be any horrible things outside.

Zhou Rui lived with Xu Xiaoyuan as he wished, but whose house to live in is a problem.

He felt that his house was not good enough, "Brother Gao died in it."

Xu Xiaoyuan said, "Aunt Li is not here either."

Zhou Rui came up with another heavy reason: "Last night, all the ghosts went to that house. It might know the way, and it came to the door again tonight."

Xu Xiaoyuan was convinced.

This time everyone took care to take away the candles from the lanterns at the door and threw them away. Xi Le and Yin Baihe stepped into the room in the dark.

It's a bit cold in the house.

If it was in his own home, Xi Le would use an electric blanket or an air conditioner right now. He is a person who can't keep warm by himself, even if he sleeps all night, it will be cold under the quilt.

Yin Baihe lay beside him.

It's still early, Xi Le can't sleep, he keeps his eyes open looking at the roof, usually at this time he can still watch horror movies at home.

"Only three of you survived last time."

Just when he thought the people around him had fallen asleep, he heard a "hmm".

Xi Le remembered what happened during the day again, although it was not good to ask so clearly: "How do you know the effect of that medicine?"

Yin Baihe said, "Guess."

Xi Le thought I don't believe it, but this topic is not very good, after all, the aspect of a man is self-esteem.

"If you want, I can tell you how to use it." Yin Baihe said suddenly.

Xi Le resolutely refused: "No need."

Yin Baihe uttered an oh.

Xi Le suspected that he did it on purpose, but there was no evidence, and the other party fell asleep so fast after that, he wondered if he had taken sleeping pills.

He turned over and accidentally bumped into Yin Baihe, who also moved, and then rolled the quilt towards him.

Xi Le: "?"

Good guy, show him some fun.

At dawn, there was another knock on the door.

Xi Le was woken up again, and found that she had slept on the entire bed with the quilt wrapped around her body. She didn't know when Yin Baihe went out, and she didn't even make a sound.

Yu Ming waited for a long time at the door before seeing him come out, "It seems that you slept well last night."

Then he got down to business: "Two people died last night, and Zhou Rui is gone."

gone?

Xi Le's drowsiness disappeared, "Not dead?"

Yu Ming shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't seen anyone or a corpse, so there's a high probability that I'm dead."
