The ghost knocked on the door, luckily I was able to read the save file!

Everyone gathered in the courtyard again.

Looking at the last three people who came back, Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, but directly told the news he had investigated. He said, "The festival the day after tomorrow is a sacrificial day, but we haven't found out what it is. They seem to be a little afraid and dreadful of this matter, and they all hide and refuse to answer."

At the end, I don't know if it's because he didn't find any useful clues or because of other reasons, his face is a little ugly.

Wu Shan on the side added, "This sacrificial day should not be a good festival."

Tong Tong said in a somewhat irritable manner, "If it is a good festival, how can it be hidden? I'm really fed up with this village."

As if as the night fell, everyone's mood became inexplicably irritable and uneasy.

Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Luo and the other two and asked in a deep voice, "What about you?"

Lin Luo and the other two looked at each other, and Lin Luo slowly said, "There are many strange places they mentioned, but most of them should be fake. We only need to pay attention to the back mountain. In addition, there is only one family in the whole Taoyuan Village, with two daughters, also a pair of twins."

With a frown, Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Luo and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Everyone also looked at Lin Luo.

Lin Luo said, "There is only a family of two sisters at the west end of the village. You also know when you had dinner that they are the twins. The reason why the sacrifice day was postponed is to wait for the eldest of the twins. This should be related to the sacrifice the day after tomorrow."

Everyone's brows were involuntarily wrinkled into a ball, like twisted dough sticks.

Wu Shankai's face changed, and his originally calm expression became a little gloomy.

He seemed to recall something, and said in a bad tone: "Before I became a contractor, I was a sports car driver, and I often went to some remote places to deliver things. The situation in some places was very backward, and such places were often superstitious and feudal."

Here, he paused, as if he recalled some unpleasant experiences, and a trace of pain and helplessness appeared on his face.

But he still gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing: "Once, I went to a remote village, and the people there actually burned a girl who lit the gongsha alive, saying that it was to worship the mountain god, so that they could be blessed by the mountain god and let the village go smoothly."

Hearing this, the people present couldn't help but feel a chill rising from their spines, and a dense layer of goose bumps appeared all over their bodies.

Their eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief, as if they could not accept such cruel and ignorant behavior.

Inexplicably, they had a trace of fear in their hearts about what might happen the day after tomorrow.

Zhao Shuang's face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly. She rubbed the goose bumps on her left arm with her right hand, muttering: "What era is it? How can there still be such feudal superstitions?"

Take a few deep breaths, as if to dispel the haze in your heart, Zhang Yuan's eyes fell on Li Yuan and Zhao Qian.

And everyone's eyes naturally fell on them.

Seeing everyone looking at them, the two of them still looked a little pale, as if they had not recovered from Wu Shan's story just now.

The two of them stuttered a little, and finally, under Zhang Yuan's somewhat indifferent eyes, Li Yuan subconsciously pushed his glasses, swallowed his saliva, and then slowly said, "I, we, we didn't find the Li family twins..."

At the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his words were almost inaudible.

Frowning, Zhang Yuan glanced at the two nervous and scared people. He didn't say anything, but looked at his watch.

"Let's go back to our rooms. I remind you all that no matter what happens, I advise you not to open the door. Don't open the door before dawn. Remember, even if you go to the toilet..." At this point, he glanced at the two women in the team; "Going to the toilet is in the room."

As if he couldn't stand such straightforward words, Zhao Shuang had a hint of embarrassment on his face, but Tong Tong nodded.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.

Until Lin Luo was the only one in the yard.

Lin Luo didn't go to the room, but went to the small room for bathing.

Pushing the door open, the light switch was on the side of the door.

"Click." A sound.

The light was turned on by Lin Luo, and the light illuminated the bathroom. It was not big, but there was a shower and several clean towels, and there was a small bench and a red bucket on one side.

There were hooks on the wall for placing objects, with shampoo and shower gel on them.

It seemed that the village chief had someone prepare it specially, and the preparation was quite complete.

After thinking for a while, Lin Luo carried the bucket back to the house.

At night.

Taoyuan Village was quiet.

The noise of the day had disappeared, as if it had fallen into silence.

The whole village was also plunged into darkness.

Time had unknowingly come to the second half of the night.

In the first room.

Li Yuan kept looking at the time nervously, raising his hand to push his glasses from time to time, looking at Zhao Qian sleeping on the bed from time to time, or looking at the window covered with window grilles.

The two of them discussed taking turns to watch the night. Zhao Qian watched the first half of the night from ten to two, and he watched from two to six.

At this moment, the hour hand pointed to about three o'clock, and Li Yuan was like a lonely night watchman, constantly recording the passage of time silently.

In the first half of the night, he was like a frightened bird, and he didn't dare to fall asleep at all. He tossed and turned in bed, as if he was tightly grasped by countless invisible hands.

The lights in their room went out. Like a pair of closed eyes, he could only vaguely see the figure on the bed, looming in the darkness.

Fortunately, the fluorescent light on the watch, like a bright star, brought him a faint light.

Time passed by minute by minute. About half an hour later, Li Yuan felt as if a century had passed. He was on pins and needles, but he dared not act rashly.

The fear in his heart kept surging like a tide, as if there were countless pairs of eyes around him, staring at his every move.

He could only keep telling himself, [It's okay, it's okay, it's all fake, as long as the sun rises, everything will return to normal. ]

However, fear kept surging in his heart like a tide. He really couldn't bear this dead silence. Looking at the vague figure on the bed, he couldn't help but whispered: "Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian? Are you asleep?"

There was a dead silence all around, as if the whole world had fallen asleep, and only his voice echoed alone in the air.

This made him more and more anxious. He really wanted to pull the other person up and let him spend the long night with him, but he couldn't say it because of face.

Just as he was nervously scanning the door and windows like a frightened bird, a voice suddenly sounded like thunder: "What's wrong? Senior?"

The sudden voice scared Li Yuan so much that he stood up as if he was electrocuted. His whole body trembled involuntarily. When he saw that it was Zhao Qian, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the previous fear seemed to disappear.

"You haven't slept yet?"

Zhao Qian sat on the bed. He smiled bitterly helplessly and said, "Who can sleep like this!? And I'm scared and can't sleep at all."

Hearing this, Li Yuan could only smile bitterly and nodded.

Wasn't he also so nervous in the first half of the night?

The two chatted intermittently, as if they were going to stay up until dawn.
