The light in the ruined temple was dim and people had nervous looks on their faces. The more the old woman spoke, the more nervous they became.

"The other guy ran to take a look and heard a gunshot. The Huang guy chased after him for a distance, but the other guy turned on the light and saw only blood all along the way."

The two men frowned when they heard this. This was too weird. Where did the stone come from? Even if it rolled down from a high place, there should have been a sound that would have allowed him to react.

"The other boy who was guarding the Huang family kid seemed to have died when the two men saw him. They told several men in the village, and when they went to see, they also said that the matter was very strange, but they dared not talk about it again after that." The old woman's voice became lower as she spoke.

Ruan Jiyan was a little confused and asked directly: "What does that have to do with that... girl?"

They thought that this girl was related to the missing Yang Si and Liu Qi, but why did the old woman tell them about the boy from the Huang family?

The old woman looked up at her with a kind smile on her face, and she was not angry at being interrupted by her.

"Several people carried the young man from the Huang family back home, but because he was a young man and died outside the home, they did not allow him into the house."

Accidents are inevitable, but not allowing them into the house is a bit feudal and superstitious. Believing in this kind of feudalism will only leave regrets.

“There was no banquet. They just hastily wrapped him in a mat and buried him on the mountain. They didn’t even carve a tombstone. It was really pitiful.” The old woman shook her head and expressed her regret. He was in his prime, but his life was taken away by an accident. The family didn’t have another child. They would secretly wipe away their tears whenever they thought of their son. Since then, the couple have become much more haggard.

"Later, her mother seemed to go crazy, and kept saying that her son blamed her in his dreams, blaming her for not saving him and not letting him into the family. Now he was alone and lonely, so she asked her to find him a wife. So they actually found a little girl from nowhere to arrange a ghost marriage for her son!"

The old woman became a little excited as she spoke, and Ruan Jiyan probably guessed that the little girl the old woman was talking about should be the girl they rescued from the well.

The two of them listened to the old woman carefully with bated breath, afraid of missing any details.

"The family wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for their son since the beginning of last year, but for some reason it has not been held yet. Some people in the village have advised them not to be too superstitious, but there are always few sober people. They have always insisted on finding a daughter-in-law for their son, and other villagers have stopped trying to persuade them after repeated persuasion."

"After a while, every night, we could hear the wife crying in their house. She would cry all night long. When people asked about it during the day, they kept saying they didn't cry. But within two days, both the couple fell ill."

Suddenly a cool breeze blew in, and the yellow curtain beside the Buddha statue was blown up violently, making a rustling sound.

"Not long after, the couple died without a word. If they hadn't come out to see people for several days, people who went to visit them would have found that they had been dead for a long time. Later, everyone said that his son was dissatisfied and came back to torture them."

"Later, some villagers also dreamed about the young man at night and asked them to help him find a wife. At that time, the couple had already gone to the next village to buy a girl to be his wife. The girl was a college graduate. I heard that she had a boyfriend in college, but her parents didn't agree and asked her to come back to marry someone closer so that she could come home to help."

"The girl disagreed, so her parents compared her with the grace of raising her. Finally, the girl had to compromise and come here. But who knew she was going to marry a dead person? She cried for a long time and even ran back secretly. Later, her parents sent her back. They locked her up in the room with the spirit tablet, temporarily added a tablet for her son, and made her sleep with a dead person's tablet in her arms every day!"

I didn't expect that the people here are so superstitious. I heard the old lady say that these people don't think there is anything wrong with buying a wife for a dead person, which shows that these people admit that they can buy and sell women. It's really abominable!

"The villagers didn't take it seriously, but the next morning they found themselves sleeping on a grave in the back hill in a particularly twisted position! They could no longer disbelieve it and hurried home to find someone to exorcise the evil spirit, but the effect didn't last long. Soon, people in the village died one after another. Seeing that the village was so strange, some younger people moved away, and finally only those who didn't have the money to move and the energy to continue were left."

"I don't know when this girl was thrown into a well in our village that had been dry for a long time. Everyone thought she was dead a long time ago." The old woman pointed to the location outside the temple and said.

According to what the old woman said, the girl must have stayed in the dry well for a very long time. It is probably abnormal that she could survive for so long when the well mouth was blocked and there was no water or food.

Ruan Jiyan had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Have you ever seen or felt those strange things?" Ruan Jiyan asked cautiously.

"When the young man died, the villagers waited for three days under that tree. During that time, they saw a figure under the tree every day!" The old woman recalled seriously and then spoke out loud.

The two talked with the old woman for a long time, and then Bai An followed behind Ruan Jiyan and said to her in a low voice: "This village is very strange. It seems that everyone thinks they can see ghosts, but I always feel that someone is playing a prank."

Bai An is an atheist. He does not believe in any legends about gods and ghosts in the world. He does not believe in Buddhism or any religion. So for these remarks, he just thinks that these people are deliberately doing something weird.

Ruan Jiyan is different from him. She believes in everything in the world, including the ghosts and gods that others talk about. Although she believes in them, she does not believe in them. If she did not have a system, she might be the same as Bai An.

"I don't know, but we have to be more careful when investigating. Even if it is the situation you described, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so we are not at an advantage." Ruan Jiyan didn't move his lips, but he said a few words like ventriloquy.

And they also had to be extra careful with the girl they rescued from the well, because she wasn't quite normal either.

Ruan Jiyan stretched out her two thumbs and pressed her temples. She had not rested for more than 24 hours from the last copy to this one. Facing these brain-burning things, her head ached.

After coming out, Zhu Wen and the girl sat on a rock not far away to bask in the sun. The sun was blocked by clouds, but the temperature was still warm. They both half-lay on the rock with their eyes closed, resting.

Ruan Jiyan and Bai An came out, called out to the two of them, and then left.

Finally they came to the hostess's house. Although it had changed a lot for them, it was still a place to live.

In the scary places, they were just modeling data, not as scary as the NPCs. And now that the NPCs are finished, they don't have to worry about living here anymore.

The girl followed the three men here, and as soon as she saw the door, she hesitated and wanted to leave.

Fortunately, Ruan Jiyan held her hand all the time and prevented her from successfully escaping.

Seeing that her attempts to escape were futile, she began to pry Ruan Jiyan's hands apart. Her eyes quickly filled with tears and she was very anxious.

"She's afraid of this place." Bai An speculated.

If what the old woman said was correct, and this girl had suffered inhuman abuse at the hands of this family, then this place would definitely cast a shadow on her, which is why she was so scared.

But they had nowhere to go at the moment, and they had to look for clues here to rescue their three missing teammates, so they had to stay here.

Zhu Wen came over and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, this family is dead, no one can hurt you anymore."

"They treated you like this before, don't you want to know how they died?" Ruan Jiyan's voice was cold, and her words surprised Bai An and Zhu Wen. She just spoke with a blank expression.

Zhu Wen silently gave her a thumbs up: You are worthy of it.

All those empty words of comfort were not able to really comfort the girl, but after Ruan Ji Yan finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Perhaps the desire for revenge overcame her fear, and the girl stopped struggling.

Seeing that she gradually calmed down, the three men quickly pushed open the door, then turned around to look at the girl and walked in first.

Ruan Ji Yan was the last one to come, watching the girl walk in step by step, until she walked into the house before she stepped in neatly.

Bai An was attentive and immediately brought some water for the girl to drink. The girl was very cautious and did not take it. She only agreed to drink it after Bai An took a sip.

Bai An had been thirsty for a long time, so the girl drank up a large glass of water in one go.

She drank very quickly, and a lot of water flowed from her mouth. Bai An was afraid that she didn't drink enough, so he brought her another glass.

"Do you want to eat something?" Seeing that she was so thirsty, Ruan Ji Yan must be hungry too.

Although the girl drank three glasses of water, she kept shaking her head when Ruan Jiyan asked her if she wanted to eat.

This person was so thirsty but didn't want to eat anything. How could she have had anything to eat after being in the well for so long?

Ruan Jiyan stood aside, staring at her quietly, and she seemed not to notice as she drank the water.

Perhaps because she returned from a tense environment to a more relaxed one, the girl yawned a few times as if she was sleepy.

Seeing this, Bai An hurriedly asked her to go and rest, but he was afraid that something might happen to her alone, so he asked Ruan Jiyan to go and rest with her as well.

Ruan Jiyan brought her to the room, made the bed for her, and said softly, "I'll be with you, you can rest first."

The girl looked at her gratefully and lay down to rest.

Ruan Ji Yan stared at her back, still feeling somewhat suspicious. She felt that this girl was not a normal person. Although the villagers in this village were all very strange, at least those people were normal in their eyes. This girl was involved in too many things, and her behavior was not quite the same as that of normal people.

Bai An and Zhu Wen searched for many things outside the house. This house would change its appearance at any time. In the mourning hall, the incense had clearly burned out and it looked like no one had visited it for a long time. There was a thick layer of ash on the incense table and the tablet as well.

But when Bai An and the others went to check again, the ashes on the incense table and the tablets had been wiped clean, making them extremely clean and shiny.

"Has anyone been here?" Zhu Wen asked Bai An while looking at the still burning incense.

"I don't know, but it looks like it." Bai An picked up the orange that was a tribute on the table and squeezed it.

The oranges are fresh too.

…

Late at night, Ruan Jiyan heard some noise and turned over, and then a squeak woke her up completely.

After entering this dungeon, Ruan Jiyan really hasn't been able to sleep well. There will be some movement every night, no matter how big or small.

She got up a little impatiently, looked at the other bed, and found no one there.

Her heart tightened, wondering if he had disappeared again.

Just as I was about to open the door and take a look, I saw light outside through the thin curtains.

Ruan Jiyan was always cautious. She tiptoed to the window and gently leaned against it to look outside.

Although the scene didn't scare her to death, it made her break out in a cold sweat.
