Chapter 319 The Secret of Living Coffin Village
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."
Uncle Bai still cares about these things, but Chen Ge is completely different: "It's okay, you two just follow me."
He grabbed the Skull Smasher and walked across the courtyard, straight into the house.
The layout of the old house is very interesting. There is a bedroom on the left and right sides of the main hall. There is no bed in the bedroom, but a coffin is placed in each bedroom.
"Have you noticed a characteristic of all the houses in Coffin Village?" Chen Ge held the handle of the hammer and glanced around.
"Is there a coffin in the house?" Uncle Bai pushed the door open with his clothes on. He didn't want to touch anything here.
"No." Chen Ge shook his head: "There seems to be no stove in the old house in Coffin Village."
Old Wei and Uncle Bai looked at each other. If Chen Ge didn't say anything, they wouldn't realize the problem.
"The stove is a place to make a fire for cooking. Where do they usually eat without a stove?" Chen Ge sat on a chair in the house and spoke slowly: "Or they don't need to eat at all? This place is simply for the dead to live. If you think about it from this direction, it is normal to have a coffin instead of a bed in the bedroom."
His voice was calm, but it made the two listeners shudder.
"With white paper lanterns hanging, white blessings on the door, and coffins parked in the house, could this whole village be a ghost village?" Chen Ge recalled the information he consulted when setting up the ghost marriage scene: "I used to I heard a story that during the war, a village deep in the mountains was slaughtered. A few years later, someone lost his way in the mountains and walked into the village by accident. As a result, every household in the village was doing white affairs, and all the people’s faces turned pale. It was all very strange. The man didn't dare to ask any further questions. He escaped from the village in the middle of the night. When he returned to the village at dawn, he found that the village had been deserted for a long time, and there were no traces of living people living there."
"Then what do you mean, we've walked into a ghost village now?" Old Wei asked uncertainly.
"The situation in Coffin Village is even more terrifying than in Ming Village. I always feel that there is a big secret hidden here." Chen Ge put the skull crusher on his lap and supported his chin with his hand: "The composition of the people in this village is relatively complicated, and there are some The aboriginal people who have become ghosts include the villagers who escaped from the coffin village before and were finally caught back, as well as us outsiders.”
"The ghost of the old lady should not have lied about the outsiders. Besides us, there are other people trapped in this village. No matter who the other party is, I think it is necessary for everyone to unite."
"Then how to unite? We can't find them at all now.
"
"This can only be adaptable, be careful." After Chen Ge finished speaking, he looked outside. He just swept it unintentionally, but found half a human face lying on the top of the wall.
"Someone!" He stood up.
The sudden voice made Old Wei and Uncle Bai on high alert: "What did you see?"
"There is a human face on the wall. I seem to have seen it in the first old house. At that time, it also flashed by, and then I saw the shroud coming out of the door and following us." Chen Ge put the The scene at that time was told to Lao Wei and Uncle Bai.
"He's next door, do we want to go take a look?" Old Wei just suggested, he himself didn't want to run around anymore.
"If that person wants to run away, we won't be able to catch him in the past." Chen Ge looked at the wall: "I always feel that he has been following us for another purpose, and it doesn't seem like he wants to harm us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the old house slowly opened to both sides, and a big red shroud stood at the door.
"Don't be afraid, this is the thing that followed us before."
In the dark night, the gate of the house was opened, and a shroud stood outside. Anyone who saw this scene would feel flustered.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Chen Ge stood in the room, hiding the Skull Smasher behind him.
The other party seemed to be struggling too, and it took a while to make a decision.
The shroud was undone from the middle, and a short and thin man was hidden inside.
With a sullen face and mouth open for a long time, he finally said the first sentence: "I'm here to help you."
"Help us? Okay, come in and talk slowly." Chen Ge smiled kindly. He held the hammer in his backhand, trying to trick the man into the house first.
The man shook his head, and he followed Chen Ge all the way, knowing exactly how dangerous this kind young man in front of him was.
"I'll talk outside." The man put the shroud aside, and when his body completely came out of the shroud, Chen Ge saw that the man's arms were one size larger and one smaller, and they were deformed.
"As soon as you entered the village, I found you, but before I could get close, the three of you were deceived by the Specter. I was worried, so I followed you in the Specter's shroud, trying to save you from leaving. "
The man's voice was sincere, but Chen Ge didn't believe that this person would take such a big risk without any reason to save a few people who had nothing to do with it: "You followed us all the way, just to save us?"
"Saving you is also saving myself. You may not believe it if you say it. If you can't escape from this village tonight, everyone will die." The man's voice was low, but he could hear his fear and anxiety: "The door will open tonight. , that thing is about to run out from behind the door again."
"Does the door open tonight?" Chen Ge frowned: "Are you an aboriginal here? Can you tell us what happened to Living Coffin Village? Why did it become like this?"
"Living Coffin Village? It's a suitable name." The man closed the wooden door and walked to the center of the courtyard. From his appearance, he couldn't tell how old he was: "No one knows the name of this village at the beginning, and the reason why it changed. As it is now, the original reason should have something to do with a woman."
"Our village is deep in the mountains, isolated from the outside world, and the world will be chaotic. It is very difficult for men in the village to seek wives, close relatives marry, and their descendants will grow up."
"The village chief at the time thought that if this continued, the roots would be cut off and the species would become extinct, so after discussing with the villagers, he decided to come back from outside the mountain by 'abducting his daughter-in-law'."
"Nothing happened in the first few times. The new daughter-in-law was locked up when she didn't obey, and she didn't give water or food. She dared to run away. After being caught, she was beaten, and slowly she became obedient."
"It wasn't until later that they brought back a young lady from a scholarly family. She had a strong temper and would not die."
"I escaped several times in a row, and I was almost beaten to death in the end."
"The woman didn't run away until she had a child. Everyone in the village thought that the woman would not resist again."
"Who knows, this woman jumped out of the well when their family was having a good time and preparing for a wedding reception."
