The wooden house was quiet. Chen Ge stayed at the door for more than ten seconds, until Xu Yin's suppressed voice came faintly from the repeater.
"It hurts..."
The old man must not have fallen asleep yet. When Xu Yin spoke, the sound of turning over and pulling the quilt could be heard in the wooden house.
The old man heard the noise outside the door, but he did not come out. Instead, he covered his head in the quilt.
"He must be scared now."
The door lock of the second wooden house was also on the outside. Chen Ge grabbed the lock and slowly pushed hard, trying to see if he could push the door open.
But the door panel only moved inward less than a centimeter before it was blocked by something.
He lay down at the crack of the door and looked inside. The second wooden house was complete with daily necessities, including a wooden bed, a wooden chair, a wooden table, and a wardrobe without a door, in which hung a lot of white washed clothes.
.
"It seems that he has lived here for a long time." Chen Ge couldn't understand why this old man wanted to live in a haunted house where a murder had occurred when he was obviously scared to death. What was even weirder was that he would go there so late at night.
Digging the soil in the peach forest.
It was not time for a showdown with the old man yet, so Chen Ge silently backed away and walked towards the third wooden house.
On a rainy night, there are no stars and moon, making it darker than usual.
Chen Ge didn't turn on the light, and walked slowly forward with the help of his dark eyes, and soon arrived at the door of the third wooden house.
The third wooden house was the largest in area. There was a rusty lock on the door. Chen Ge pushed it gently, but he didn't expect that the lock was just a decoration.
"Crunch..."
The door of the third wooden house was opened. The door of this third wooden house was equipped with locks both inside and outside. It was different from other rooms.
With the comparison, Chen Ge felt even more strange.
A normal old rural house has a lock on the outside of the door. Even if there is no lock installed on the inside of the door, there will be a door bolt, so that the door can be locked whether inside or outside the house.
But the first and second wooden houses were not like this. There was nothing inside the door.
"It feels like the first and second wooden houses are housing livestock. Locks are installed on the outside of the doors to prevent the livestock from breaking through the door bolts and escaping."
Entering the third wooden house, this house is divided into two compartments, inside and outside. In the inside is a large bed, and outside is a wooden table and a very simple stove.
"Jiang Ling's parents should have died in this house."
Walking in the haunted house, Chen Ge didn't feel any discomfort, maybe because he was used to it.
He rummaged through the cabinets and found a lot of hemp rope hanging on the inner wall, and also found a set of carpenter's tools under the bed board.
"The dust is very thick. The toolbox has not been opened for a long time. It is most likely the deceased's belongings." Chen Ge put the box away and looked at the wooden houses: "Jiang Ling's father was a carpenter during his lifetime? So these wooden houses were all his."
Did you make it yourself? The door locks of the first two rooms were also designed that way on purpose?"
With nothing else to gain, Chen Ge walked towards the last wooden house.
This house is located in the deepest part of the peach forest, and is not connected to the other three wooden houses. It is built alone more than ten meters away.
Chen Ge walked on the muddy path, bypassed a few crooked peach trees, and stopped outside the fourth wooden house.
There are two locks on the wooden door, one is full of rust and the other is brand new.
"The new lock should have been installed by the old man. What hidden secrets are hidden in this house?"
He walked around the wooden house. The fourth wooden house didn't even have a window and was completely closed.
I lay down at the crack of the door and looked inside. There were many nails driven into the wall of the wooden house, a few hemp ropes hanging from it, and the corners of the wall were covered with spider webs.
In the center of the room there is something similar to an ancient torture device. Several wooden boards are put together, just enough to trap a person in it, unable to move.
"It hurts..."
Xu Yin's voice came from the repeater. It was slightly different from the deep and depressed voice at the beginning. He seemed to be reminding Chen Ge that the room was dangerous and he should not get close.
"It's so strange. There isn't even a bed, table or chair in the fourth wooden house. What is this house used for?"
Chen Ge took out the skull-crushing hammer, considered it for a moment, and then smashed open the wooden door without impulsiveness: "Don't be too rude, as it will leave a bad impression on the other party."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and lightning flashed occasionally in the night sky.
Chen Ge didn't gain much, so he returned to his room: "Except for a bed, there is nothing else in my room. It is difficult to find something to block the door."
He was worried that someone would sneak in without him noticing in the middle of the night, so he simply moved the wooden bed behind the door: "Let's do this for now."
With his backpack on his pillow and his small arms, Chen Ge curled up and stared at the small window of the wooden house.
The windows are only as big as a basketball. Living in this wooden house feels like entering a prison.
"Wait until daybreak, if no accident occurs, then I will have a showdown with the old man."
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, the night wind was howling, and the branches and leaves made a rustling sound, as if countless small hands were slowly moving around the wooden house.
At two o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening outside.
The sound didn't come from the old man's room. It should be that the door of the third wooden house was opened.
"The old man did not leave the room, and someone else opened the door. It seems that the thing he has always been afraid of has finally appeared!"
Chen Ge took a breath and grabbed the cobweb-stained quilt beside the bed. It wasn't too dirty and covered him directly, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
He moved the wooden bed to the door of the room, stepped on the door panel with his feet, and looked at the window next to the wooden door.
The rain was still increasing, and I could vaguely hear something moving outside. The footsteps were messy, like several people clustered together.
"It's coming!"
The door panel of the next room was scratched by something, as if several hands were scratching the rough wooden door at the same time. This lasted for more than a minute. Chen Ge suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the old man's door.
"Help me, help me."
The woman was crying, and judging from her voice, she must be relatively young.
"Is this what the old man is afraid of?" Chen Ge's mind was racing. The old man next door seemed to have known that the other party would appear, and pretended to be asleep in the room without making any response.
The strange sound on the door panel lasted for ten minutes before disappearing. The chaotic footsteps outside sounded again, and this time they stopped at the door of Chen Ge's room.
That kind of creepy scratching sound sounded outside Chen Ge's door. The other party seemed to have discovered something. He pressed harder and harder, and the wooden door actually started to shake.
Huddled in the quilt, Chen Ge was not only a little lucky, but he moved the bed to the door.
The wooden door could not be opened, which was different from what the monster outside thought. It scratched frantically, and after a few seconds, her crying voice came from outside the door.
"Help me, help me, help me!"
The door panel shook, and Chen Ge reached into his backpack and grasped the skull-crushing hammer. He was already prepared for the worst.
But the monster outside the door only shouted a few times and then stopped, and the sound of scratching on the door also disappeared.
"I didn't hear the footsteps, she hasn't left yet! Such a cunning guy."
Chen Ge lay motionless on the quilt. He wanted to look through the window to see what was going on outside, but as soon as his eyes reached the window, he suffocated slightly.
Outside the window the size of a basketball, there is a woman's head hovering. Her eyes are full of whites, scarlet spider silk in her mouth is tangled with the black hair on her head.
"Help me, help me!"
The woman opened her mouth, blood-red spider threads spread towards the house, and several hands grabbed the edge of the window.
Pulling out the skull-crushing hammer, Chen Ge threw his backpack aside. He looked at the woman's face and walked over on his own initiative!
