Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins
Chapter 864 The Old Man and the Cat
After Chen Mu finished speaking, the players nearby all nodded in agreement.
In ancient times when people were conservative, few people wore red on a daily basis.
Even in the cities, people rarely wear bright red fabrics, not to mention in remote mountain villages where villagers dress simply.
A red cloth on the head and red shoes on the feet are only worn on the wedding day.
The charming woman said, “So…you mean, the identity of the man-eating evildoer is the bride?
Haha, I have read quite a few horror novels and I am familiar with this routine.
The woman must have had a tragic life experience and didn't want to get married, but ended up being used as a bargaining chip by the family and entering into a miserable marriage of her own.
She was bullied on her wedding day, so she turned into a ghost to take revenge on those who bullied her.
From ancient times to the present, the fate of us women has always been the most tragic, always living under the oppression of patriarchy. Fortunately, we women have awakened now, otherwise such things will happen more and more..."
The charming woman's words stunned Chen Mu and the others.
Chen Mu quickly said, "We can't judge the identity of a man-eating evil ghost based on a red cloth and red shoes. Maybe some anime characters still dress like this. Could it be that he is a man-eating evil ghost?"
The fat man next to him heard this and quickly said, "Sister, I think what you said makes sense.
How about this, I will sleep with Brother Jiao at night. It is not safe for you, a girl, to sleep with a boy."
The charming girl rolled her eyes at him. Everyone knows that sleeping alone at this time is the most dangerous.
"What do you know? Brother Jiao is a high-quality man who knows how to respect women, unlike most men who are subordinates."
Naturally, she was unwilling to give up her position.
Since the village chief said that everyone should share a room with two people, those who have already been paired up did not dare to bring the fat man along easily.
Although there are three people in a room, there is a high probability that there will be no problem. But who is willing to take risks for the safety of others?
The fat man sighed and said nothing more.
According to his experience, the first night was a safe time to search for clues, and theoretically nothing would go wrong, so he didn't force it.
At this time, Jiao Chong'e pointed to the only room with lights on in the woodshed in front of him.
"Let's go visit him. After all, we'll be staying at his place for five days."
That was the old man who guarded the woodshed, his residence.
Led by Jiao Chong'e, the players came to the house with lights on.
This is a very dilapidated mud house with only one paper-covered window and an old wooden door.
The door was ajar, and a faint firelight came through the crack, through which one could see an old man inside warming himself by the fire.
Jiao Chong'e knocked on the door, and the old man inside coughed twice, "Who is it?"
Jiao Chong'e pushed open the door and walked in with the players.
In the simple mud house, an old man sat by the brazier. He looked to be in his sixties, and was not in good health, coughing from time to time.
Next to the old man, there was a dirty blanket, on which lay a white cat.
The cat's hair is fluffy and soft, which looks particularly beautiful and is a rare embellishment in the simple environment.
Jiao Chong'e was very good at conversation. He introduced himself to the old man and claimed to be a professional ghost catcher. The village chief asked them to stay there for a few days.
The old man in the firewood room had obviously known about this a long time ago. He nodded his old head and said, "Okay, let's catch the ghost."
Next, Jiao Chong'e sat next to the old man in a familiar manner and began to chat with him about family matters.
Chen Mu observed the environment in the room and found a pot on the stove with some rough wild vegetable paste left in it.
The old man is old and feels a little sleepy at night.
Therefore, I chatted with Jiao Chonge in a haphazard manner.
During their conversation, the player learned that the old man had no wife or children, and was alone like the village chief. He lived in the woodshed all day with a cat as his companion.
As they chatted, the old man became so tired that he fell asleep.
He fell asleep leaning on his cane, snuggling up to the fire.
The cat was very well-behaved. It stayed quietly at the old man's feet, licking its fur from time to time.
"What a cute little kitten." The girl in the young couple couldn't help but walk up and touch the cat's head.
"They say seeing a black cat will bring bad luck. I hope this white cat will bring us good luck." The girl touched the well-behaved cat and murmured to herself.
Such a loving picture gives players a little psychological comfort in the cruel and weird mission.
Seeing that the old man had fallen asleep, there was no point in anyone staying any longer.
It was already past nine o'clock, and there were only two hours left until midnight.
The village at night is silent and dark, giving people a deep sense of insecurity.
So the players left the old man's house in the woodshed, returned to the yard, and chose their own rooms to sleep in at night.
Chen Mu chose the one in the middle.
In strange missions, those living at the head and tail are most vulnerable to attacks.
To put it bluntly, if you live in the middle, even if you are attacked by a surprise attack, your teammates at the front and back may be attracted to you first, and then you may attack your teammates instead.
After selecting the room, the players said goodbye to each other and went to their own rooms.
The fat man was alone, and although he said he was not afraid, his slightly trembling calves showed that he was not sure either.
Chen Mu and the man with glasses came to the middle room.
When I pushed open the door and walked in, a pungent smell of dust immediately hit me in the face.
The room had not been occupied for a long time and the windows had not been opened for ventilation in time.
But it was indeed impossible to open the window, because Chen Mu noticed that the room was simply furnished and the windows were paper-covered, which only served a decorative purpose and could not be opened at all.
There were only two very hard wooden beds in the room.
The bedding was cold and damp, smelling musty, and there were thick spider webs in the corners.
For remote villages during famine years, this was already considered "hotel-level" treatment.
Chen Mu noticed that there was an oil lamp for lighting next to the bed.
It just hasn't been used for many years, so it's covered with cobwebs and there's definitely no oil in it.
Chen Mu simply made the bed, and the man with glasses also lowered his head to make the bed.
Suddenly, the man with glasses asked, "Do you think someone will die tonight?"
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Who knows."
In the weird mission, the death needs to trigger the death conditions.
But the players have just arrived here and don’t have a clear understanding of the situation. Who knows what the conditions for death are?
Not knowing the conditions of death, Chen Mu naturally felt unsure.
He could only hope that the lucky lock he had used in advance would at least leave him some luck on the first night.
After making the bed, Chen Mu lay down on it.
The players in the other rooms also tidied up and went to bed.
The entire woodshed yard fell into deathly silence.
The moon moved slowly, and the faint moonlight fell in the yard.
The first night in the mountain village has arrived.
