"Legend in the village?" Lu Xun was busy playing mahjong (he didn't know how to play mahjong), and asked Gu Jingrong distractedly, "Why haven't I heard you say that?"

Gu Jingrong was so scared that he was a little braver. He directly retorted: "Do I know you well? Why should I tell you this?"

Lu Xun was speechless for a while, and he admitted that Gu Jingrong had some truth.

Yu Xiao saw that this ghost should really not be able to speak, so he turned to ask Gu Jingrong, "Have you heard this legend since you were a child?"

"Ah, no." For some reason, although his wives were all scary, Gu Jingrong was most afraid of this first wife. He said honestly: "This happened last year."

Last year? Yu Xiao was right. Something really happened in the village last year.

"Go on." Yu Xiao sat beside him with a cup of tea.

With all the fierce wives around him, Gu Jingrong was not so scared after a while. He thought for a while and said, "I was still sick at that time, and I heard about that incident from others. There is a family in the northernmost part of our village, living on the other side of the river, not living with the villagers."

"Why?" Zhao Lan asked puzzledly, "Isn't there a cemetery on the other side of the river?"

"Yes, they were originally outsiders and came to our village many years ago. At that time, the village chief was still my grandfather. My grandfather felt sorry for their family, so he gave them a piece of land on the other side of the river to look after the graves." Gu Jingrong said hesitantly, "Although because of this reason, People in the village are not very willing to associate with their family, but at least they can live and work in peace in the village. "

Gu Jingrong licked his lips when he said this, "The head of their family has a craft and can make incense. Relying on this craft, their life is getting better and better. But just last year, one day my parents went out and didn't come back all day. At that time, I knew something must have happened in the village. Because I had just recovered from my illness, my mother would not let me stay alone at home all day. In the evening, they came back, and my mother said that the family on the other side of the river accidentally caught fire when making incense, and all four members of the family were burned to death. "

"Bang!"

The black shadow slammed a mahjong on the table, and everyone looked over. From Yu Xiao's angle, the ghost was completely black, and the only facial features left were a mouth, and it was impossible to tell whether it had any emotions.

Gu Jingrong glanced at the black shadow cautiously, and then said: "From then on, incense can't be burned in the village. Everyone says that burning incense will attract evil spirits."

"It's a bit pitiful." Zhou Xiaozhen's eyes changed when she looked at the black shadow, "It must be one of the people who were burned to death in the family on the other side of the river, right?"

"Strange." Lu Xun sniffed, "The body of the burned dead should have a burnt smell, why does it smell like a toilet?"

"Tsk." Yu Xiao didn't like people like him who were more serious, "Let's talk about business, why do you always worry about the smell of others? Does it have anything to do with our business?"

Lu Xun didn't understand why she reacted so strongly, "I'm just asking casually."

Zhou Xiaozhen disagreed, "You ask this question, it hurts my self-esteem."

"..." Lu Xun sighed helplessly, "Okay, it's my fault."

Yu Xiao finished a cup of tea and was about to have another one when Luo Jin came over with an empty cup. Yu Xiao glanced at him and poured a full cup of tea into his cup.

Luo Jin drank the tea in one breath and asked, "When did the plague start? Before or after the fire?"

Gu Jingrong was stunned, "After."

Hearing the answer, Luo Jin put down the teacup and said to everyone, "I have to go to the cemetery again."

Yu Xiao seemed to understand something, "You are doubtful... I want to go too."

"I want to go too." Lu Xun said hesitantly, "When will this mahjong game end? Can you wait for me?"

Yu Xiao drew a few thunder and evil talismans and gave them to Zhao Lan, saying, "Sister Lan, you stay here. If anything happens, you can take care of it."

"Don't worry." Zhao Lan put away the talismans, "With Xiaozhen and I here, nothing will happen here."

Yu Xiao nodded, and then left the village chief's house with Luo Jin.

They came to the river again, still at night.

The evening breeze blew gently, and Luo Jin took off

his shoes while saying, "It is said that the ghosts who died in the fire will be afraid of water and dare not approach the river." Yu Xiao paused while taking off his shoes, "So there is no bridge on this river, is it to prevent ghosts from crossing the river?"

Luo Jin didn't say anything else, and the two crossed the river in silence. Arriving at the cemetery, Luo Jin began to shuttle between the tombstones. Yu Xiao found three small graves on the edge of the cemetery. She walked over to take a look, and then called Luo Jin over, "Here!"

Luo Jin walked over, and the two stood side by side looking at the three not-so-new tombs.

The simple stone tablets read, respectively, the tomb of Zhang Zhongshi, the tomb of Xie Ailian, and the tomb of Zhang Cuicui.

Everyone in this village has the surname Gu, except for the family on the other side of the river, so Yu Xiao found them easily.

Luo Jin said, "There are only three graves for a family of four."

Yu Xiao nodded and said, "There are three graves here, and we only caught two ghosts."

The two walked along the river bank and soon saw a charred site. This should be the house of that family. After being burned, it has been exposed to wind and rain for nearly a year, and it is now overgrown with weeds.

This old story is full of doubts, for example, a family of four was burned to death, but there are only three graves. After they died, the villagers destroyed the bridge over the river. They knew that the burned ghosts dared not cross the river, but how did they know that this family would definitely become ghosts? Or was it because they were afraid?

Luo Jin went back to the grave site and dug up the village chief's grave. Inside the coffin, the village chief's body remained the same as before, without much change, and the village chief's head also remained the same.

Luo Jin squatted beside the coffin and said doubtfully: "I have always suspected that someone or a ghost had hatred towards the people in the village, so they destroyed the souls of the dead after they died. That is why the cemetery is so clean, without a single ghost. But you see, the village chief's head is intact."

"Because ghosts are afraid of water." Yu Xiao squatted beside him, "They can't cross the river, so they can't destroy the village chief's head."

"But the ghosts crossed the river." Luo Jin turned his head and looked at the other side of the river, "They died on this side of the river, but they all crossed the river to the village."

"There was a ghost that was not burned to death." Yu Xiao looked at the clear stream, "Have you forgotten? We caught a ghost in the river that night."

"Oh." Luo Jin suddenly realized, "You caught the ghost in the river, so the other two ghosts can no longer cross the river."

Yu Xiao stood up and exhaled softly. She looked upstream of the river, where there was a temple with a magical monster living inside.

She probably had guessed the truth. A year ago, the son of the village chief was dying, and the village chief had no choice but to go to the temple to ask for the monster's meat. But the meat was not free, it had to be exchanged with a person.

The village was full of people with the surname Gu, who had lived together for generations, so the village chief set his sights on the family from outside the area on the other side of the river.

They gave their youngest son to the monster, and later it might have been discovered, or the village chief might have wanted to silence the monster, so he set fire to the family. The parents of that family died in the fire, and the daughter, perhaps because of her agility or because of her parents' help, escaped even though her body was burnt to ashes. He fell into the river, and although he was burned, he was eventually drowned.

The village chief was afraid of retaliation for his wrongdoing, so he destroyed the bridge over the river. The only thing he didn't expect was that Zhang Cuicui, the daughter of the Zhang family, was drowned, and she could carry the ghosts of her parents back and forth between the two banks of the river.

That night when they came to the cemetery, Luo Jin didn't feel the presence of ghosts here, which meant that the ghosts were in the village at that time. Yu Xiao took the ghost in the river away, and the ghosts in the village couldn't cross the river, so they couldn't destroy the village chief's head.

Yu Xiao sighed. For someone like her who loves life, she hates this kind of thing the most.

"Next, we just need to find the ghost hiding in the dark." Yu Xiao was a little listless, "Do you have a way to catch that ghost?"

Luo Jin nodded, "We have bait in our hands."

"...Ah!" Yu Xiao thought to himself, I actually forgot, since they are a family, then as long as we use those two ghosts as bait, then the last ghost will definitely appear.

The two walked back together, Yu Xiao felt that although people like Luo Jin don't talk much, they are quite reliable, much better than Lu Xun, the talkative guy. So he said: "Brother, I think you are very good."

Luo Jin didn't have any expression, and said: "You are also very good."

Yu Xiao thought to himself, do you need to say this? Luo Jin took out his cell phone and asked, "Do you want to leave your phone number?"

Yu Xiao was a little skeptical, "We are not from the same hospital, will it be useful to leave your phone number?"

"It is useful." Luo Jin said affirmatively, "Lu Xun has many numbers of people from other hospitals."

There was no need to hesitate, and Yu Xiao exchanged numbers with him. When the two returned to the village chief's house, the mahjong game had ended, and Lu Xun looked at the two of them with resentment with his afro.

As soon as he entered the house, Luo Jin stared at Lu Xun's hair, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Yu Xiao understood immediately. She looked at Zhou Xiaozhen, "You chose to punish Lu Xun?"

"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen crossed her arms over her chest and said with a sullen face, "It's all his fault."

Lu Xun cried, "Well, it's indeed my fault. Did you find any useful information after your trip?"

Yu Xiao scanned the crowd and finally looked at the controlled ghost. She said, "Call Zuo Qing and the others over. We may be able to leave here soon."

Zhang Feng had already woken up. Except for his pale face, he was fine. He just lost an arm. Of course, losing an arm in this hospital survival game is not irreparable, but the price to pay is a bit high.

Zhang Feng himself was quite open-minded. After all, he could save his life in this situation, so he didn't think it was too bad.

When they heard that they would be able to leave here soon without any accidents, they all smiled happily.

Zuo Qing asked, "Who found the clue?"

Lu Xun pointed at Yu Xiao and Luo Jin, "It was them two."

Zuo Qing ignored Luo Jin and looked at Yu Xiao with admiration, "Sister Xiao, you are really amazing. You really deserve to be the top boss."

Yu Xiao said modestly, "Okay, okay."

"Then how did you find the clue?" Zuo Qing looked at Yu Xiao with a filter in his eyes at this moment, "Can you tell me about it? Let me learn from you."
