Chapter 50: Small Village
Chapter 50: The Village
When they got closer, they realized that the village was bigger than they had imagined.

The seven people from Wu Ji were hanging at the back, keeping a little distance from the six people walking in front.

Li Mu stopped, looked around at everyone, and said:

"Two things. First, this is a survival mission. There is no solution to ghosts, unless you discover the hidden rules like Qi Nian did. Second, its strange abilities will be two or more."

Everyone nodded and took Li Mu's words to heart.

"I just talked to them. The woman holding the dog is He Miao, the driver is Tian Dawei, the old man is Chen Qingshan, and among the other three, the man who discovered the village is Sun Liang, and the remaining man and woman are a couple, the man is Cheng Zhipeng, and the woman is Tong Li. All six of them are from Guicheng, and the long-distance bus we just took was also going to Guicheng."

The woman who was speaking was Lin Yan. She had an ordinary appearance, but her eyes looked quite shrewd.

This is indeed the case. Lin Yan is in her thirties and started her career in sales. She is well versed in communication.

It was her ability to figure out everyone's name and origin in a very short time.

At this moment, the six people walking in front suddenly became messy.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The Corgi that He Miao had been holding suddenly jumped out of her arms and screamed towards the village.

"Doudou! What are you doing Doudou!"

He Miao hurriedly tried to pick it up, however, the dog seemed to be crazy and could not be pulled or moved away. When He Miao tried to pick it up, it almost turned its head and bit him.

The hair on its neck and tail stood up, and it lay on the ground with its paws exposed, baring its teeth and barking at the village.

Tian Dawei and his six companions thought that the dog was crazy, but Bai Yanliang and others saw that the dog's limbs were shaking while it was barking.

It is afraid.

What did it see?
The village was shrouded in a light mountain fog. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, whimpering as if someone was crying.

The trees on the mountain were rustling in the wind, and the intertwined branches in the shadows were like outstretched arms, rushing towards the thirteen people outside the village.

Tian Dawei and the others didn’t know, but Li Mu and the others knew very well that... there was a ghost here.

And it’s a…horrible and untreatable ghost.

The shrill barking of dogs echoed in the mountains and forests. After a while, there was movement in the village. It seemed that they finally heard the barking of dogs.

Under the gaze of the crowd, an old man whose face looked like a cracked walnut came out, supported by a young woman.

"You are……"

His voice was as old as his appearance, weak and trembling, as if he would pass out at any second.

"Are you the village chief? We are just passing by. Our car broke down and we would like to use your village to rest." Tian Dawei's tone of voice always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Sure enough, although the old village chief did not react when he heard this, a man's voice rang out.

"Why should I let you take a break? Get out!"

"Damn, who is it!" Tian Dawei's eyes widened and the flesh on his face trembled. This man must have been a man with a story before he became a long-distance driver.

"It's me! What do you want?"

A sturdy young man came out, with his eyebrows raised, staring at Tian Dawei fearlessly.

"Cough... cough cough... Xiaobin, don't be impulsive." The old village chief, who was supported by the young woman, coughed violently, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

He looked around at everyone with his drooping eyes and said, "There is no main road in the village, and cars can't get in. Now that you have found this place, please come in..."

"Village chief!" The young man called Xiaobin shouted, "These people don't know where they came from, let them go!" Bai Yanliang suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xiaobin.

Yu Sheng was still carried on his back. Seeing Bai Yanliang's actions, he also glanced at Xiaobin, as if thinking about something.

"Nonsense!" The old village chief glared at him angrily. "It's getting dark, where are we going?"

Xiaobin opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He just looked between everyone and glared at Tian Dawei fiercely.

"Everyone... please follow me." The old village chief was supported by the young woman and led the way to the village. "My surname is Yan, and I am the village chief of this Snow Village. Our village... but we haven't had any guests for a long time..."

Village Chief Yan’s words made the visitors from Wu Ji feel nervous.

This statement... is very disturbing.

At this time, the young woman who was supporting him suddenly said, "Grandpa, the family will return home to pay respects the deceased the day after tomorrow. If we take in so many outsiders..."

Homecoming ceremony?
Several people took the young woman's words to heart.

As for the day after tomorrow... isn't it the last day of the survival mission?

Is this a coincidence?
"Stop talking nonsense. Who the hell wants to stay here any longer? The day after tomorrow... I'm leaving tomorrow!"

Huang Yourong glanced at Tian Dawei and he already felt that the word "death" was written over this man's head.

"Really?" The young woman looked at Tian Dawei strangely, "Then I hope you can leave..."

This strange statement made everyone feel nervous.

But at this time, something even stranger appeared before everyone's eyes.

After entering the village, everyone realized that there was not a single cat or dog in the village, not even chickens or ducks. Instead, there were strange cages covered with black cloth, tied with iron chains to the doors of every household.

"What is this? Is that a lion you have in your village?"

As Tian Dawei spoke, he casually removed the black cloth from a cage on the side of the road.

"Stop talking nonsense!" This was Xiaobin's voice.

But...his warning was still a step too late.

"what!!!!"

"Fuck you! Let go!"

Tian Dawei's eyes were bloodshot, his finger was being bitten tightly by a strange woman, the pain made him sweat profusely!
Upon seeing this, everyone rushed over to help. Tian Dawei even kicked the woman in the cage hard, but the scary woman with disheveled hair and dirty face refused to let go!
"what!!!"

Tian Dawei suddenly let out an even more miserable scream, and was pulled back by the crowd, staggering. He covered his hands in horror and pain.

That woman actually bit off his finger!
He Miao was so frightened that his face turned pale and he screamed without a voice.

"Damn it, I told you not to pull it apart!" Xiao Bin cursed angrily. At the same time, he grabbed a handful of wood ash from somewhere and sprinkled it on Tian Dawei's severed finger, causing the short and fat driver to wail again in pain.

But Bai Yanliang and the others didn't even look at that idiot.

Their eyes swept across the rooms.

In front of every... every room there is an iron cage covered with black cloth.

Could it be that... every cage contains a woman like this who eats people?
"Please... don't tell anyone."

The old village chief's voice was full of bitterness. He looked at everyone and bowed tremblingly.
