Chapter 175: The Haunted House Appears
After waking up, the little carpenter didn't remember what happened yesterday. He began to take out the planer and prepare to build furniture. Since the three of us were under the banner of helpers, we naturally had to be busy and not let our identities be exposed.
In my spare time, Leng Rushuang and I discussed: "If the female ghost comes to find the little carpenter tonight, we will quietly follow you to see what's going on."
Leng Rushuang also wanted to finish work early and leave this ghost place, and immediately agreed: "That's it!"
The biggest reason why she hates this place so much is that every customer who comes to Fu's house will look at her greedily, as if she is a product on the shelves.
This made Leng Rushuang very unhappy. There were several times when she hadn't been pulled by me, she would probably have rushed up and started.
It’s not his fault, the villagers in Houxi Village are really too naked.
The little carpenter looked timid, but he was very serious when doing things. He had a broken pencil on his ear and typed out the big frame of the bed in a few seconds. Lao Fu and his wife were particularly satisfied. At noon, they specially received an extra plate of fried eggs.
After dinner, the little carpenter continued to be busy in the scorching sun. Leng Rushuang and the man in sunglasses chatted in the shade to relieve their boredom. When the villagers of Houxi Village saw this scene, they pointed at us, and their tone was full of dissatisfaction. I said to Leng Rushuang awkwardly: "Do we want to be more meaningful? Go and help the little carpenter? People are so terrifying, and the eyes of the villagers are about to eat us."
Leng Rushuang glanced at the group of people coldly and said without caring: "Do you want to stay here and be a son-in-law?"
I was stunned and didn't understand what she meant.
Leng Rushuang continued, "You don't live here forever, so there is no need to establish a good relationship with them. Why do they want to do anything to us? After dealing with the peach blossom debt caused by the little carpenter, we will leave immediately. Who will be friends with them?"
I think what she said is reasonable, so I just feel at ease and relax.
Leng Rushuang watched the villagers gathered together for a long time before slowly dispersing, and suddenly said to me: "Houxi Village has a little strange."
strangeness?
I looked around and found nothing wrong.
Leng Rushuang said: "The residents here are mainly men. Women seem to rarely go out. Even if they go out, they are all older and there are no young women at all."
After she said this, I thought about it carefully and it seemed that I had never seen a young woman!
However, the screams that came last night seemed to be from a young woman, but I couldn't determine whether it was true or auditory hallucination.
I found that Leng Rushuang was very thoughtful and more thorough in the eyes of things than me. When I was in Laoren’s Village before, I found that there were no animals and poultry in the village. She was also the one who was also there.
Little girl, it’s indeed a good seedling!
Leng Rushuang said: "There may be anything, but we should pay more attention when we look back."
My man with the sunglasses nodded at the same time.
We were busy until evening. After dinner, the little carpenter who had been busy for a day could not hold on and fell asleep first. Soon the whole Houxi Village fell into silence. Because we had agreed in advance that the female ghost would control the little carpenter, we asked the man in sunglasses to cut off the hemp rope tied to the door with a dagger, so we did not get up in the middle of the night to open the door and start the old Fu and his wife.
I didn't sleep well last night, and now I have to hold on until midnight, and my eyelids have started fighting involuntarily. At this moment, the little carpenter suddenly sat up from the ground with a trembling heart. The sudden movement scared me. The little carpenter looked like a robot without thoughts, and opened the door with his heels on his back, and then walked out without looking back.
Leng Rushuang and I exchanged glances and followed them out without saying anything. Before leaving, I deliberately closed the door, for fear that Lao Fu and his wife would find out.
The little carpenter walked slowly because he was raised, and the surroundings were pitch black, but he could find his way without looking at it. Leng Rushuang and the man in sunglasses followed him in a deep voice, perhaps because he knew that Leng Rushuang and the man in sunglasses were more reliable. Even under such night, I was not worried, and I felt very confident.
The little carpenter walked straight towards the back mountain.
The mountain road is not easy to walk on, and the sky is so dark, without stars or moons, everything is shrouded in airtight darkness.
After climbing over a mountain, a house appeared vaguely in front of me. I said cautiously: "Be careful, this may be transformed by a female ghost, be careful to fall into a trap!"
Leng Rushuang gave me a blank look: "That's a house, it's not a illusion!"
Is that right? I turned my face a little embarrassedly.
When I got closer, I found that it was a dilapidated temple with the big words "Namo Amitabha" written on the exterior wall. However, some of them have been weathered.
I suddenly realized: "I still remember when I first arrived in Houxi Village, the little carpenter said that I would take us to the temple to live. It seems that it is this temple!"
But shouldn’t the little carpenter go to find a female ghost? What did he do in the temple? The temple enshrines Buddhas, how dare the female ghost get close?
I couldn't figure it out, and when I looked at Leng Rushuang again, I found that she looked puzzled.
As a result, the little carpenter did not enter the temple at all, but continued walking along the temple and came to the back of the temple.
Leng Rushuang and I carefully distinguished each other for a long time before we found out that there were several tombs there. This shocked me even more. Whose tombs were set up behind the temple?
With the arrival of the little carpenter, a thick black fog appeared in front of him. A gloomy ancient house slowly appeared in the fog. There were two paper men and women standing at the gate. They were illuminated by two big red lanterns above their heads, which looked particularly strange and terrifying.
The little carpenter opened the door and walked in as if he was bewitched.
Leng Rushuang asked me in a low voice: "What should I do?"
What else can I do when I’m at this critical moment? I replied without thinking: “Follow up!”
Leng Rushuang nodded, and the man in sunglasses rushed out first. When the two paper men saw him, they rushed up together, but the man in sunglasses kicked one by one and both kicked them out.
When we walked into the gate, we found that the ancient house was filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten and moldy. It seemed that this was the female ghost's nest!
The ghost house was decorated with joy, with red lanterns hanging under the eaves, red silk everywhere, and like a wedding ceremony in the countryside.
Leng Rushuang looked around and said, "This female ghost dressed up her nest like this. She must have been seducing a young man to marry her insidiously, and she didn't know how many people she killed."
As soon as she finished speaking, I heard a woman's resentful sigh from the haunted house. The sound seemed to be there or there was, as far or near, but it seemed particularly pleasing, making people want to take her into their arms immediately.
My heart actually jumped up restlessly!
