Uncle Bai and Old Wei were walking hurriedly in front, but Chen Ge deliberately slowed down and fell behind the team.

"Just keep this distance. Old Wei and Mr. Bai are both within my sight. Don't worry about not being able to find them."

Chen Ge took the recorder in his hand and pretended not to notice anything without looking behind him.

The wind in the valley slowly stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became very quiet, as if breaking some kind of boundary and entering another world.

The temperature gradually dropped, and Chen Ge could feel a chill approaching.

"It's coming."

Chen Ge was calm, perhaps because the white cat was acting as a meat shield behind him, he was not worried at all and walked slowly.

When the coldness behind him was only three or four meters away from Chen Ge, it suddenly stopped, as if it had sensed something.

"The recorder isn't even on, so why did the ghost stop?" Chen Ge calculated the distance between the two of them in his mind, pretending to be scared and terrified, not daring to move forward.

He slowed down again, trying his best to block the ghost behind him.

"Why isn't he coming over yet? Do I have to step back and bump into him?" Chen Ge was seriously considering whether he should step back on his own initiative. He was confident in his acting skills and was afraid that this unusual action would scare away the monster behind him.

"Let's wait a little longer."

The road in the middle of the valley became narrower and narrower, and was almost blocked by bushes and tree branches. Uncle Bai and Lao Wei in front had to slow down and clear away the branches bit by bit.

Chen Ge felt that he couldn't go too far. If the monster didn't take the bait, he would just let it go. He quickened his pace, ready to help Mr. Bai clear the way.

But who knew that as he sped up, the ghost behind him became a little anxious. It probably thought that Chen Ge had discovered it and was finally ready to attack.

A chill slowly surged into his heart. This long-lost feeling reminded Chen Ge of the scene of his first date. At that time, Zhang Ya was leaning against his back, looking so adorable, "I miss you so much."

The hairs on my neck stood up, the temperature became even lower, and the chill came from all directions.

Before Chen Ge could react, the white cat in his backpack suddenly struggled out, barked at him twice, and then jumped forward alone!

"You're really scared of death, aren't you? Don't they say cats have nine lives?"

In fact, the white cat was very considerate. At least it gave him a warning before running away.

The coldness seemed like a pair of hands grabbing Chen Ge's shoulders from both sides and slowly seeping into his body.

"It feels very familiar." A woman's voice, like crying at a funeral, came from behind Chen Ge, miserable and terrifying.

What was even more strange was that it seemed that only Chen Ge could hear the sound. Mr. Bai and Old Wei in front were doing their own things and didn't notice it at all.

The cold air penetrated his bones and his shoulders gradually became heavy. At this time, Chen Ge thought of Mr. Bai's story.

The old man’s father must have suffered such pain at the time. In order to protect the old man from harm, he carried the ghost on his back all the way.

The body became heavier and heavier, and there was a pulling force coming from behind. The monster seemed to be preparing to drag Chen Ge into the coffin next to it.

"Isn't this the scapegoat?"

The air seemed to freeze into ice, and the cold air invaded his lungs. The crying sounds in his ears began to affect Chen Ge's thinking. The surrounding trees swayed from side to side, as if they had all come alive.

The crying sound was directly imprinted in his brain, and a pale human face slowly emerged. It leaned over to Chen Ge's ear, but before he could open his mouth, Chen Ge suddenly turned his head back.

"Have you cried enough?"

"???"

The pale face stopped on Chen Ge's shoulder, with a dark mouth half open.

"Enough crying, let's get going."

Chen Ge pressed the switch of the recorder, and the tape started to turn. Xu Yin, who was half dressed in red, grabbed the ghost on Chen Ge's back, pulled it off Chen Ge, tore it into pieces, and ate it bite by bite!

The crying and shouting in the wind became even more miserable, and Chen Ge also felt that Xu Yin was a little cruel.

"You obviously haven't cried enough, why did you lie to me? I'm not the unreasonable person."

When Xu Yin finished swallowing, there was another stain of blood on his body. At this rate, he would turn into a red-clothed man sooner or later.

"Chen Ge! What are you doing behind us? Come here quickly and don't be too far away from us!"

Mr. Bai waved at Chen Ge. They didn't notice anything unusual behind them until Xu Yin's body disappeared.

With their alertness, if Chen Ge had not been there to cover their retreat, the two of them might have been dragged into the coffin by the ghost.

"Coming right up!"

Chen Ge put the recorder away. The white cat that had just run away came back and jumped onto Chen Ge's shoulder, refusing to go back into the backpack.

"A comfortable life will make us lose our ambition. You were not so timid before. I think I will have to take you out more often in the future." Chen Ge touched the white cat's head: "I am doing this for your own good."

After catching up with Lao Wei and the others, Chen Ge suddenly remembered that the ghost was eaten by Xu Yin before he even figured out its abilities.

"It should be an ordinary wandering ghost. There are so many coffins here, there should be more than one. I think I will have a chance to meet it in the future."

Under the leadership of Mr. Bai, it took them more than 20 minutes to walk out of the valley.

"Thank God, nothing unexpected happened." Uncle Bai's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "We are lucky this time. We will arrive in ten minutes after leaving this valley. Before entering the Coffin Village, I want to say hello to you in advance."

He stared at Chen Ge and said, "After you go in, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive! I'm quite familiar with them, let me handle it."

"You haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Will they give you face? Besides, the people in that village may no longer be here." Chen Ge was describing the actual situation.

"Compared to you, I know more about their customs. We are going to look for someone, not to fight. It is better to have less trouble than more." Grandpa Bai advised earnestly. He was afraid that he would not be able to stop Chen Ge at the critical moment.

"We'll listen to you." Old Wei pulled Chen Ge and said, "Finding someone is the most important thing."

Mr. Bai did not continue the topic. He pointed at the cat on Chen Ge's shoulder and said, "Put the cat in the bag. People in the village will beat the cat to death if they see it."

"If they don't have cats, how can they prevent rat infestation? Didn't you say that every household in the village has a coffin? Aren't they afraid of being bitten by rats?" Chen Ge chased the white cat for a long time, finally caught it, and stuffed it back into his bag.

"There are very few living things in that village, and I haven't seen them raise livestock like pigs or sheep." The old man thought for a while and said, "Let's talk as we walk. There are many strange things and taboos in that village, and the people there look different from us. You should be mentally prepared in advance."
