The wooden house was quiet. Chen Ge stayed at the door for more than ten seconds until Xu Yin's suppressed voice could be heard faintly from the repeater.

“It hurts…”

The old man should not have fallen asleep yet. When Xu Yin opened his mouth, the sounds of turning over and pulling the quilt were heard in the wooden house.

The old man heard the noise outside the door, but he did not come out. Instead, he covered his head with the quilt.

"He must be very scared now."

The door lock of the second wooden house was also on the outside. Chen Ge grabbed the lock and slowly applied force, trying to see if he could push the door open.

But the door panel only moved less than one centimeter inward before it was blocked by something.

He lay down through the crack in the door and looked inside. The second wooden house was fully equipped with daily necessities, including a wooden bed, wooden chairs, a wooden table, and a wardrobe without doors, with a pile of washed-out clothes hanging inside.

"It seems that he has lived here for a long time." Chen Ge couldn't understand why this old man, who was obviously scared to death, would still live in a haunted house where a murder had taken place. What was even more bizarre was that he would actually run to the peach forest to turn the soil in the middle of the night.

Now was not the time to confront the old man, so Chen Ge quietly stepped back and walked towards the third wooden house.

There are no stars or moon on rainy nights, and it is darker than usual.

Chen Ge did not turn on the light. He walked slowly with the help of his Yin Pupil and soon arrived at the door of the third wooden house.

The third wooden house was the largest, with a rusty padlock on the door. Chen Ge pushed it gently, but he didn't expect that the lock was just a decoration.

“Crack…”

When the door was opened, I found that the door of this third wooden house had locks installed inside and outside, which was different from the other rooms.

With the comparison, Chen Ge felt even more strange.

Normal old houses in the countryside have a lock on the outside of the door. Even if there is no lock inside the door, there will be a bolt installed so that the door can be locked whether inside or outside the house.

But the first and second wooden houses were not like this. There was nothing inside the door.

"It feels like the first and second wooden houses are like pens for livestock, with locks installed outside the doors to prevent the livestock from pushing open the bolts and escaping."

Entering the third wooden house, the house is divided into two compartments, the inner room has a large bed, and the outer room has a wooden table and a very simple stove.

"Jiang Ling's parents should have died in this house."

Walking in the haunted house, Chen Ge did not feel any discomfort, perhaps because he was used to it.

He rummaged through the drawers and found a lot of hemp ropes hanging on the wall of the inner room, and a complete set of carpenter's tools under the bed.

"The dust is very thick, and the toolbox hasn't been opened for a long time. It is very likely that it contains the deceased's belongings." Chen Ge put the box away and looked at the wooden houses: "Jiang Ling's father was a carpenter? Then he built all these wooden houses himself? The door locks of the first two rooms were also deliberately designed like that?"

With nothing else to gain, Chen Ge walked towards the last wooden house.

This house is located in the deepest part of the peach forest. It is not connected to the other three wooden houses and is built alone more than ten meters away.

Chen Ge walked along the muddy path, passed a few crooked peach trees, and stopped outside the fourth wooden house.

There were two locks on the wooden door, one was full of rust and the other was brand new.

"The new lock must have been installed by the old man. What unspeakable secret is hidden in this house?"

He walked around the wooden houses and found that the fourth one didn't even have a window and was completely closed.

Lying down through the crack in the door and looking inside, I saw many nails nailed on the wall of the wooden house, several hemp ropes hanging, and spider webs all over the corners.

In the middle of the room there was something that looked like an ancient torture device. It was made of several wooden boards put together, just big enough to trap a person and make him unable to move.

“It hurts…”

Xu Yin's voice came from the repeater, which was slightly different from the low and suppressed voice at the beginning. He seemed to be reminding Chen Ge that the room was very dangerous and he should not get close.

"It's so strange. There's not even a bed, table or chair in the fourth wooden house. What is this house used for?"

Chen Ge took out the skull crusher and after a moment's deliberation, he did not break the door impulsively: "Don't be too rude, it will leave a bad impression on the other party."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and lightning occasionally flashed across the night sky.

Chen Ge did not gain anything, and returned to his room: "There is nothing in my room except a bed. It is difficult to find something to block the door."

He was worried that someone might sneak in when he wasn't paying attention in the middle of the night, so he simply moved the wooden bed behind the door: "Let's leave it like this for now."

With his backpack as a pillow and Xiao Xiao in his arms, Chen Ge curled up his body and stared at the small window of the wooden house.

The window is only as big as a basketball. Living in this wooden house feels like entering a prison.

"Wait until daybreak. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll confront the old man."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, the night wind was howling, and the branches and leaves were rustling, as if countless small hands were slowly moving around the wooden house.

At two o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge was checking his phone when he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside.

The sound did not come from the old man's room, it should be that the door of the third wooden house was opened.

"The old man didn't leave the room. Someone else opened the door. It seems that the thing he has been afraid of has finally appeared!"

Chen Ge took a deep breath, grabbed the quilt covered with spider webs beside the bed, and covered himself with it without thinking it was dirty, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

He moved the wooden bed to the door of the room, put his feet on the door panel, and looked at the window next to the wooden door.

The rain was still getting heavier. I could vaguely hear someone moving outside. The footsteps were disorganized, as if there were several people huddled together.

"It's coming!"

The door panel of the next room was scratched by something, as if several hands were scratching the rough wooden door at the same time. It lasted for more than a minute. Chen Ge suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the old man's door.

"Save me, save me."

The woman sounded like she was crying, and judging from her voice, she should not be very old.

"Is this what the old man is afraid of?" Chen Ge's brain was working rapidly. The old man next door seemed to have known that the other party would appear. He pretended to be asleep in the house and did not respond.

The strange sound on the door lasted for ten minutes before it disappeared. The chaotic footsteps outside sounded again, and this time it stopped at the door of Chen Ge's room.

The creepy scratching sound was heard outside Chen Ge's door. The other party seemed to have discovered something and was pushing harder and harder. The wooden door actually began to shake.

Curled up in the quilt, Chen Ge was grateful that he had moved the bed to the door.

The wooden door couldn't be opened. This was not what the monster outside thought. It scratched frantically. After a few seconds, the sound of her crying was heard outside the door.

"Save me, save me, save me!"

The door shook, and Chen Ge reached into his backpack and grabbed the skull crusher. He had already prepared for the worst.

But the monster outside the door only shouted a few times before stopping, and the sound of scratching the door also disappeared.

"I didn't hear any footsteps. She hasn't left yet! This cunning guy."

Chen Ge lay motionless in the quilt. He wanted to look out the window to see what was happening outside, but when his sight just reached the window, he gasped slightly.

Outside the basketball-sized window, a woman's head was hovering. Her eyes were full of whites, and scarlet spider silk in her mouth was entangled with the black hair on top of her head.

"Save me, save me!"

The woman opened her mouth, and blood-red spider silk spread into the house. Several hands grabbed the edge of the window.

Pulling out the skull crusher, Chen Ge threw his backpack aside. He looked at the woman's face and walked over to her with gritted teeth!
