Chapter 51 Doubts
Chapter 51: Doubts

Everyone looked at each other.

But Tian Dawei, who had a broken finger, obviously had no intention of giving face to anyone.

"I'm disabled! Do you want to just let it go?" He pointed at the old village chief's nose and cursed.

The noise at the entrance of the village soon spread throughout the village, and soon the sound of doors opening could be heard frequently.

A number of skinny, dark faces poked out from the crack in the door and looked at them.

Even a ruffian like Tian Dawei shuddered.

There is no other reason...it's just that these villagers who stick half of their bodies out of the door are too ugly.

No...or rather...it looks too weird.

Although they are neither deformed nor disabled, their facial features are extremely strange. Some have incredibly small eyes, while others have incredibly large mouths. In short... there is a strange sense of incongruity.

"We will compensate..." The old village chief was still polite after hearing Tian Dawei's words.

Tian Dawei snorted coldly when he heard this, but did not make any more trouble. The old man said this in front of everyone, and if he refused to pay the debt later, he would have a reason to make trouble.

"grandfather."

At this time, the young woman who had been supporting the old village chief suddenly spoke.

"it's getting dark."

These four simple words made the old village chief's expression change slightly, and he quickly said: "Let's go first... go back to the house first."

At the same time, the villagers who had stuck their heads out of the door quickly closed the door without making any sound.

The old village chief walked hurriedly along the way, as if something was chasing him.

A few minutes later, just before the sun set, the group finally arrived at the village chief's house.

The old village chief’s house was quite spacious, but it definitely couldn’t accommodate thirteen people.

"I'm sorry to bother you all. There are only three empty rooms here. Please sleep on the floor tonight." The old village chief looked at everyone apologetically. "If you still can't leave tomorrow morning, I will arrange for you to stay at other people's homes temporarily."

"What?" He Miao was the first to disagree. She hugged the Corgi, which had been listless since entering the village, and said, "No! I'll give you money, but you... you let me live in a single room!"

"Fuck you! I didn't even ask to live in a single room when I was injured, so who do you think you are?" Tian Dawei's face turned pale. Although the blood from his severed finger had been stopped by wood ash, the pain was still there.

This made his already bad temper even more irritable.

"Well... let me suggest this: we'll give one of the three empty rooms to men and one to women, and we can discuss who will live in the remaining room later. How do you think?" Old man Chen Qingshan came out to smooth things over.

"Village chief, the seven of us are friends from the same town. Can you arrange a separate room for us? It doesn't matter if there are no beds. We can chat, kill time, and take a short rest." Lin Yan also expressed her thoughts.

Of course, her words were agreed upon by the most people. After all, she represented the ideas of six people.

Tian Dawei made a fuss for a long time, but he still gained the advantage by outnumbering others.

Bai Yanliang and his group were assigned a large room, where they laid out beds on the floor and went in to rest, regardless of how noisy Tian Dawei and the others continued to make.

Bai Yanliang put Yu Sheng, who had difficulty walking, on the floor. Yu Sheng thanked him quietly, then leaned against the wall and watched everyone.

The room was quite big, and it wasn't too crowded for seven people.

The main reason was that they hadn't planned to all sleep.

"We have seven people, let's each keep watch for an hour," Yu Hanzhou said. His suggestion was very pertinent, and no one objected.

It is simply impossible to sleep peacefully in a village where you know there are ghosts, so... cooperation is very important.

"What do you think of this village?"

Huang Yourong, who had been standing, also sat down, crossed his legs and looked at everyone.

"There's something strange about this village chief." Lin Yan's eyes sparkled as she heard this. "It takes five or six minutes to walk from the village chief's home to the village, but it only took two minutes from the barking of the dog to the appearance of the village chief and his granddaughter. Where were they at the time? Why was there only one young man named Xiaobin in the whole village, besides the village chief and his granddaughter?"

Lin Yan’s question is also everyone’s concern. There is something visibly wrong with this village.

The doors of every household are covered with iron cages covered with black cloth. The villagers are locked up at home, afraid to go out...

"What the old village chief's granddaughter said just now was also very strange, 'It's getting dark'. Could it be... that something scary will appear after dark?"

Huang Yourong continued.

"Mr. Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Yanliang was also leaning against the wall, seemingly in a daze, but suddenly he heard someone asking for his opinion.

Moreover, this person is actually Li Mu?
Bai Yanliang didn't hide anything. He looked at everyone and expressed his thoughts: "The village chief's granddaughter mentioned the homecoming sacrifice, and the word sacrifice was also mentioned in her explanation. I have been wondering what 'sacrifice blood without heart' means until just now."

His words cheered everyone up. Could it be that Bai Yanliang had already figured out Jieyu's hint?

"The old village chief said that he was the village chief of Jixue Village. Jixue...blood sacrifice. I don't think this is just a simple homophonic coincidence. The evil spirit this time is likely related to the homecoming sacrifice."

Bai Yanliang's statement won everyone's approval.

"Well, what Mr. Bai said makes sense. We should start by investigating the Homecoming Ceremony. Perhaps there was an accident at this ceremony, killing some people who shouldn't have died..."

"Or maybe, it was originally a sacrifice of blood, and now... those who died have come back for revenge." Su Qian sat next to Yu Hanzhou and spoke clearly.

"I...also have a discovery." A soft voice sounded in the corner.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Yu Sheng who spoke.

"Just now... on my way here, I saw that all the houses in the Snow Village had no windows."

Ok? !

Yu Sheng’s words made everyone stunned at first, and then they suddenly understood.

"I was wondering...why do I always feel that the buildings in this village have an inexplicable sense of oppression? So this is it!" Huang Yourong clapped his hands and sighed.

Bai Yanliang glanced at Yu Sheng, and seeing that she was also looking at him, he nodded slightly.

window?

Why don't the villagers in Snow Village build windows?
"Do you think they are afraid that there is something outside the window secretly watching them?" Huang Yourong suddenly said thoughtfully.

What Huang Yourong said was quite scary. If that was true, then... what was that thing that appeared outside the window?

Li Mu touched his fingers subconsciously, which was his habitual action when thinking.

This time, he is a haunter, and as a haunter on a survival mission, he is almost certain to be targeted by evil spirits.

Therefore, Li Mu’s goal from the beginning was not to survive for three days, but to find the hidden rule like Qi Nian, and then... get rid of it!
