The layout of the old houses is similar. There are two dead locust trees planted in the house, a large water tank is placed under the tree, and further inside are the main hall and bedrooms.
The wooden door hit the wall, and Chen Ge's kick almost cracked the door open.
"Let me hear your grievances!"
Stepping forward, the dirt path in the yard began to loosen, and the dead locust tree slowly tilted, as if something was trying to get out of it.
Chen Ge walked to the locust tree, and the sand slid down, revealing a dark corpse pit with a pair of hands stretching out.
"Want it out? Okay! I'll help you!" Chen Ge looked at the resentful eyes in the corpse pit and raised the skull-crushing hammer high: "Crush all the bones! Then it won't get stuck!"
The hammer fell, and a creepy sound sounded in the old house.
It is worth noting that another locust tree next to it suddenly stopped leaning, and the sand began to flow back.
Smashing it wildly with hammers, Chen Ge and Xu Yin dragged out the ghost from the roots of the locust tree.
After stretching his muscles, Chen Ge turned his attention to other parts of the yard.
"They are hiding under the tree pit. They shouldn't be the ones crying out for injustice just now."
The previous sound came from the old house, but since Chen Ge entered, the sound stopped abruptly.
Looking around, Chen Ge found a round rubber ball floating in the water tank. The strange thing was that the ball was sinking little by little, as if it was planning to drown him.
"Will the ball sink on its own?"
Chen Ge walked to the water tank with the skull-crushing hammer and looked inside. There was a ghost hiding in the water tank. Its body was soaked and turned white, and its round head floated on the water like a rubber ball.
"Were you the one who complained just now? If you have grievances in your heart, you must speak out!"
The hammer smashed the water tank and water splashed everywhere. Chen Ge asked Xu Yin to avenge the ghost and entered the main hall.
Paper money was falling in the room, as if something had just been done not long ago. There was a dark coffin in the center of the main hall, and some weird portraits were plastered on the walls.
"Where is the person? Where did he go? Why didn't he talk?"
Chen Ge stared at the portraits on the wall for a long time. The people here did not respect gods, but only worshiped mountain ghosts. The portraits were full of scary-looking monsters.
"It looks just like the real thing."
It's obviously a portrait, but it feels like it has a charm, as if something is living inside.
Chen Ge didn't know whether he had an illusion after looking at it for too long, or because of other reasons, but his eyes suddenly moved when he saw one of the portraits.
"It seems to be moving. Is there a ghost hiding in the painting?"
While Chen Ge was thinking, Xu Yin, half-dressed in red, walked in. At the same time, several black shadows flashed out of the paintings on the wall and rushed toward the bedroom.
Xu Yin immediately chased after him. When he entered the bedroom, the coffin in the middle of the room shook and the coffin lid was pushed open a crack.
A ghost figure with little red bloodstains on his body looked at Xu Yin with fear, then lifted up the coffin and ran away!
"The coat is stained with blood. Doesn't this guy have the potential to become a red coat?" Chen Ge called Xu Yin and chased him out decisively.
The black figure realized that Chen Ge and Xu Yin were chasing after him, so he ran faster.
In the old house, there was digging, water tanks breaking, and coffins vibrating. Uncle Bai and Old Wei stopped outside and did not dare to go in.
"Who is Chen Ge talking to inside? Why hasn't he come out yet?" Old Wei was worried. He mustered up the courage to walk to the door, but before he could get close, a black shadow stained with blood sprang out.
"What?!" Old Wei was startled. Before he could react, he saw Chen Ge's eyes turned red and he chased after him waving a ferocious hammer.
"stop!"
One after another, the soul flags blocking the street were directly broken, and Chen Ge's voice could be heard throughout the street.
"What's going on..."
Old Wei and Uncle Bai stood at the door holding the baby, watching the two sides chasing and escaping, and they still felt inexplicably harmonious, as if it should be like this.
"Is it Xiao Chen chasing the person in front?"
"Seems to be."
"But aren't the three of us running for our lives tonight? Why is he chasing others around?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because he looks more fierce."
There was another sound of hammering on the wall in the distance, and Uncle Bai and Lao Wei hurriedly chased after it.
The black shadow was extremely fast, and Chen Ge could only barely catch up, but Xu Yin slowly closed the distance between him and the monster.
"If you run so fast, your strength must not be too bad. If you swallow it, Xu Yin might be able to become a red-coat!"
Chen Ge was furious. In this strange village, he could feel at ease only if there was a man in red by his side.
"As long as Xu Yin can become a red-coat, this trial mission will be a bloody gain!"
The black shadow was chased so hard that it didn't dare to look back, but its escape route seemed to have been planned in advance, and it went straight to a certain building in the village.
The streets became more depressing, there was a lot less paper money on the ground, and 囍 characters cut out of white paper began to appear.
After chasing for about ten meters, Chen Ge saw a sedan chair at the end of the street.
The contrast between the blood-red sedan body and the 囍 characters cut out of white paper around it was great, exuding a strong sense of resentment.
The night wind blew the sedan curtain, and the woman's voice appeared again.
The black shadow stopped for a moment at the door of the house where the sedan chair was placed, and then fled inside.
"You still know how to ask for help? This ghost is very smart."
Chen Ge opened the sedan and took a look. There was nothing inside. He walked towards the old house where the black shadow entered.
This house is more elegant than other houses in the village, but there are more blood stains and traces of human struggle on the walls than other houses.
"Could it be the village chief's home?" Chen Ge opened the door. There were white 囍 characters posted everywhere in the house. It was obvious that someone was planning to get married here, but an accident happened.
"When the black shadow paused at the door just now, I could see clearly. It seemed to be wearing the groom's clothes. Could it be that it came to find his wife?" Chen Ge waved the skull-crushing hammer and smiled disdainfully: "You are a freeloader.
Guy."
As he rushed into the main hall, the woman's voice in his ears became louder and louder, which also had a certain impact on Chen Ge.
"The one who keeps making noise is the black shadow's wife?"
The woman's voice seems to have penetrated into the body, winding around the heart like a thread. With every beat of the heart, the familiar tone flows with the blood to every part of the body, making people feel particularly kind and can't help but think.
Be responsive.
"It seems that the black shadow's wife is the one with the most resentment and the most terrifying." When Chen Ge was thinking about whether the woman was in red, the door of the main hall suddenly closed on its own, and the candles on both sides of the altar table were lit, emitting a faint smell.
of red light.
Under the light, a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress poked her head out of the bedroom. She was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes, and she looked a little scary.
"Red?"
The blood vessels on Chen Ge's arm emerged and he grasped the skull-crushing hammer tightly.
Taking a step forward, the other half of the woman's body was exposed. The wedding dress on her body was not completely stained red by blood, but most of it was torn, revealing the stained bottom shirt underneath.
