Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan approached cautiously, holding torches high in their hands, with nervous and focused expressions.

Their eyes were fixed on the front, as if they wanted to penetrate the darkness and explore the secrets of this mysterious cave.

Zhang Yuan spoke first, with a hint of surprise in his voice: "Has anyone ever lived in this cave?" His words broke the silence and echoed in the air, making people curious.

Wu Shan squatted down and lowered the torch to illuminate the ground. He found that the ground was in a mess, with bowls and chopsticks scattered around in a disorderly manner, as if there had been a fierce conflict or accident here. He frowned and had an uneasy premonition in his heart.

At the same time, Lin Luo had quietly walked to the stone bed made of stones.

He squatted down, brought the torch closer, and squinted his eyes slightly, trying to see everything around him clearly. Suddenly, he noticed a line of small words engraved on the side of the stone bed.

"You all deserve to die!!!"

Lin Luo stretched out his fingers and gently touched the handwriting, feeling a rough texture, and a little prickly. Looking at the gravel that pierced his skin on his fingertips, he couldn't help but frown.

Lin Luo held a torch and gently swept the stone bed with it, carefully observing every detail on it. Suddenly, his pupils trembled, and he stood up. He pulled away the straw covering the stone bed, revealing the scene below.

"This..."

Lin Luo's actions attracted the attention of Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan, who quickly came over with puzzled eyes.

When they saw the scene on the stone bed, their eyes widened and their faces showed expressions of astonishment. It turned out that the entire stone bed was densely engraved with the same sentence-"You all deserve to die!"

A chill suddenly surged on the backs of the two, their heartbeats accelerated, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

They were shocked by the scene before them and felt an inexplicable fear and uneasiness.

What terrible thing happened in this place? Who left such a curse?

Lin Luo stood up, sighed softly, and then said in a serious tone: "I guess this place is very likely where Li Bing and her sisters have stayed."

Hearing this, Wu Shan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and asked nervously: "What do you mean? Is there any secret in it?"

And Zhang Yuan on the side seemed to have guessed some clues. He stared at the inscription on the bed, walked up and touched it carefully with his hand, and then said: "This looks like it was carved with a knife..."

Lin Luo held the torch and shone it around. Suddenly, something in the corner attracted his attention. He walked over carefully, squatted down and picked up the thing. After careful observation, he said: "Well, it was indeed carved with a kitchen knife."

A rusty kitchen knife appeared in front of everyone, which made Wu Shan very surprised and confused.

"Cleaning knife?!" Wu Shan couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lin Luo casually threw the kitchen knife on the stone bed, making a "clang" sound, and then explained: "It looks like this should be an ordinary kitchen knife, probably used to cut vegetables and cook. However, it can also be used as a self-defense weapon."

After a pause, Lin Luo added: "Of course, the premise is... the other party is a person." After that, he stopped talking, just quietly looking at the rusty kitchen knife, thinking secretly in his heart.

After hearing Lin Luo's words, Wu Shan frowned and muttered to himself: "Self-defense? What can such a broken kitchen knife defend against? And it's rusty, it's probably unusable."

"Zhang Yang, why are you sure it's the Li sisters!?" Zhang Yuan stood up, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, staring at Lin Luo closely, as if trying to find the answer from his eyes. He felt that Zhang Yang always had reservations, as if hiding some important secrets.

Lin Luo's eyes were as calm as water. He looked at Zhang Yuan and answered slowly: "In all the stories, only two people died - Li Bing and her father. So, we naturally locked our primary target of the weirdness on them."

Lin Luo was silent for a while, then said to Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan with a serious expression: "I have a guess."

Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan looked at each other, then looked at Lin Luo together, and asked in unison: "What guess?"

Lin Luo's voice was low and certain: "I think the one who died among the Li sisters should be the younger sister."

Zhang Yuan frowned and asked in confusion: "Why are you so sure?"

Lin Luo's tone was still flat, as if telling a distant story: "Do you remember? That morning, when we went to the aunt's house of the fair-skinned young man for breakfast, did youNoticed one thing? His aunt added sugar to a medicine jar that he had been taking medicine since he was a child. But if a person has been taking medicine since he was a child, how could he not stand the bitter taste of medicine? "

As Lin Luo spoke, the two subconsciously recalled the situation that morning, as if there was indeed such a thing.

"Secondly, there is a problem with the words of the old man in the village chief's family. What he said is somewhat contradictory."

Lin Luo's words made Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan listen carefully.

Lin Luo continued to speak, with a sneer on his face: "He clearly said that he was just an ordinary old man who didn't know a lot of things, and he was also on the so-called righteous side in his words, but he didn't know too much about some things, and he lived in the village chief's house. In a conservative village like this, the village chief is generally inherited from the family. "

Zhang Yuan frowned and asked: "Do you mean, he is the old village chief?"

Lin Luo nodded, his eyes calm as water, and said: "I suspect that he did all this. "

"I wonder if you smelled something in that room?" Lin Luo suddenly looked at the two again.

"What?" Wu Shan and the other two were stunned, obviously not understanding what Lin Luo meant.

"The smell of paper money and candles!" Lin Luo said slowly.

Wu Shan's pupils trembled, and he asked with a trembling voice: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Luo with a serious look, his pupils trembling slightly, and couldn't help asking: "You mean, there is actually a shrine in the position of the window sealed by the wooden board! ? "

After a moment of silence, Lin Luo slowly said: "I'm not sure, but from all the signs, it seems that there is a worship of some mysterious existence, or praying for the blessing of some power. "

Zhang Yuan nodded, agreeing with this statement. They all knew that anything could happen in such a strange place. And this discovery undoubtedly made the whole incident even more confusing.

However, Wu Shan frowned, with a trace of uneasiness on his face. He asked in confusion: "Then why didn't we smell that smell?"

As he said, he pinched his nose subconsciously, and then smelled the smell on his hand carefully. A smell of rotten sawdust came to his nose, making him shudder.

"Its smell is very light. If I hadn't happened to be standing in a relatively close position, I might not be able to smell it." Lin Luo said slowly.

"There is another thing. I don't know if you have noticed that the way Li Yuan and others died tragically is almost exactly the same as the way the old man said those people died! ! "

Although the old man did not describe the specific situation in detail, Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan quickly reacted after Lin Luo mentioned it.

The backs of the two were involuntarily soaked with cold sweat, and a piercing chill spread from the depths of their hearts.

No one wants to experience this horrible way of death.

"Accidentally killed? Hanged himself? Haha, this old man really knows how to talk!" Lin Luo sneered.
