Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

I have to say that Jiao Chong'e is still very capable.

When it was speculated that the man-eating monster was hiding among the villagers, Jiao Chong'e was able to make arrangements immediately and had a certain plan on which targets to check and how to check.

Chen Mu didn't say anything, he just kept frowning in thought.

There is one question that Chen Mu has not figured out:

Why do doors feel so heavy at night?

He couldn't help but think of the fat man and the young female couple who disappeared in the room.

Is there any connection between the heavier door and their disappearance?

What is hidden in it, and what hints can be used to deal with the man-eating monster?

Chen Mu felt that the conjecture that "the man-eating monster is one of the villagers" was possible, but not very convincing.

After all, it has little connection with key clues such as ghost marriage, heavier door, and scarecrow in the coffin.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment and said:

“I think the investigation into ghost marriages needs to continue.

The old man in the firewood room said that the village chief had presided over this ghost marriage. If so, there must be similar records in the village chief's home.

I will go to the village chief's house tomorrow to check the relevant records.

You follow Jiao Chong'e to investigate the red veils and red shoes in the villagers' homes.

We will split into two groups and advance simultaneously. We don't have much time left."

Everyone agreed with Chen Mu's plan.

Next, the players made a detailed division of labor for tomorrow's tasks.

Everyone was getting nervous. They had to make some progress tomorrow! It would be best if they could completely lock down that mysterious man-eating ghost!

After finalizing the plan, the players took the time to rest.

One has been sacrificed tonight, the cannibal won't appear again.

For safety reasons, the players did not dare to sleep separately.

The remaining four players all slept in Chen Mu's room.

As for the rule that two people should sleep in one room as mentioned by the old village chief, the players naturally did not obey it.

If the village chief's rules cannot guarantee their safety, then there is no need to listen to them.

Chen Mu speculated that the players could only ensure safety if they were within sight of each other. So sleeping with four people would be safer than sleeping with two people.

The players work in pairs to keep watch, taking turns to rest.

This way, you don’t have to stay up until dawn.

In strange missions, cooperation between players is also very important.

As seven o'clock in the morning arrived.

All the players woke up, packed up, opened the door, and prepared to go to the old man in the woodshed to have breakfast.

The door was easy to open during the day, and Chen Mu could open it easily by himself, which was in stark contrast to the heaviness at night.

"What on earth does this thing imply?" Chen Mu complained silently. He still hasn't figured it out.

The players walked towards the old man's house. Even though they knew there was something wrong with the old man, they still went there to have breakfast. It was not because the players wanted to commit suicide.

It’s because I’m hungry!

Apart from the old man in the woodshed who can cook, who else can provide them with meals?

Besides, at least during the day, the old man will not harm the players.

As expected, after arriving at the old man's house in the firewood room, the old man greeted the players enthusiastically, which was in stark contrast to his indifference last night.

Jiao Chong'e took the opportunity to ask indirectly, "Old man, you seem to be in good spirits this morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

The old man was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily and said, "Okay, although I am old, I still sleep very well at night, and I sleep all night until dawn."

After hearing what the old man said, the players knew very well that he was lying.

"This old Deng is not very honest." Zhang Shu whispered in Chen Mu's ear.

Chen Mu shrugged. He didn't know why the old man told such a clumsy lie.

Everyone saw him sitting by the fire last night, and the old man knew that everyone saw it, but he still lied.

strangeness.

After breakfast, the players immediately started to act according to the plan assigned last night.

The charming girl was responsible for staying in the yard and looking for clues about the old man in the woodshed.

Jiao Chong'e took Zhang Shu and went to the roofs of each house, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the house to search for the red veil and red shoes.

Chen Mu went alone to the home of the deceased old village chief to collect clues related to the ghost marriage.

After everyone took action, Chen Mu also set off towards the village chief's house.

On the way, Chen Mu discovered a pile of bones and a familiar piece of clothing at the entrance of the village.

Chen Mu knew at a glance that it was the boy in the young couple.

Not surprisingly, this guy died last night.

Soon, Chen Mu arrived at the village chief's house.

Since the village chief had no children, his home quickly became deserted after his death.

The villagers were too busy taking care of themselves to come to the village chief's house again after helping him with his funeral and sending him off in a decent manner.

The courtyard, which was originally very lively, suddenly became deserted.

This also facilitated Chen Mu's actions. Without much effort, he climbed over the courtyard wall and sneaked into the village chief's house.

Generally speaking, in villages that rely on relatives and clans to maintain their connection, there will be records similar to family trees in the village chief's home.

The village chief will also keep records of major events in the village.

Ghost marriages are considered a big deal. Chen Mu thinks that the village chief has probably recorded this incident.

Even though the ghost marriage happened ten years ago, it feels like it was so long ago that the records can no longer be found.

In fact, this is an illusion created by people under the information explosion. A large amount of information pours in every day, and it is difficult to find information from ten years ago.

But in the village, especially in the closed ancient village, information is pitifully scarce.

In the entire village, perhaps not a single major event would happen in a year, but if something did happen, it would have to be recorded and passed down for hundreds of years.

It happened ten years ago, so the relevant records are still easy to find.

Chen Mu came to the village chief's bedroom and began to search inside.

A few minutes later, Chen Mu found it: a family tree placed in the closet.

Looking further down, Chen Mu found a small yellowed notebook.

When he opened it, just as Chen Mu expected, the little notebook recorded all the big and small events in the village.

Chen Mu followed the timeline and quickly found the time ten years ago.

[The fifth day.]

The village encountered famine.

Ma Laoliu's granddaughter starved to death.

Zhang Wuqi's youngest son starved to death.

Ma Laoliu asked me to find a boy for his granddaughter.

It just so happened that Zhang Wuqi's family also had a baby who had died, so they arranged a ghost marriage for the two families.

It's a sin. 】

The record is very simple. The village chief is not very talented in writing. He just wrote down everything that happened.

For Chen Mu, this is enough.

The village chief's sigh at the end, "What a sin", made Chen Mu a little confused.

In this village, ghost marriage is considered a despicable act? So much so that the village chief thinks it is a sin.

However, the most urgent task is to find out where Ma Laoliu's family is now. Maybe we can follow the clues and find clues about the current situation of the evil bride.

Chen Mu continued to flip through the pages, and in a record from five years ago, he found a sentence that shocked him.

[Ma Laoliu asked me to find him a job, so he went to the village firewood room to chop firewood.]
