This has to start from the night before.

The night before, Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi fetched water and went back to the room to scrub their bodies after dinner. Shen Qingcheng lay on the bed wearing a pair of big underpants, closed his eyes to sense the ghosts nearby, and prepared for the little paper figurine.

The surrounding environment was beyond Shen Qingcheng's expectation. He only sensed an earthbound spirit with weak ghost power in the main room of the house.

He didn't know which player the specific room corresponded to, so he had no choice but to summon the earthbound spirit.

The state of the Earth Binding Spirit was even worse than Shen Qingcheng expected. He was a male around 30 years old with a transparent soul and body. He was at a critical point that was about to dissipate almost immediately, and he was at this critical point for a long time.

In other words, this earth-bound spirit should have dissipated long ago, but for some reason it persisted until now.

Lu Qi was packing up the things he had used up in the shower. Shen Qingcheng suspected that Di Fu Ling might be his father, so he inquired about Di Fu Ling's personal information.

Earth Bound Ling was in a daze, and couldn't answer anything except Xu Sen.

Shen Qingcheng still remembered that when collecting information in the afternoon, the old man mentioned a sentence "Old Xu's family did not allow foreign daughters-in-law to live in the house".

He guessed that the earth-bound spirit in front of him, who was suspected to be called Xu Sen, might be the madman's father.

However, since he couldn't find anything to ask, Shen Qingcheng didn't waste much time on Xu Sen. After stuffing Xu Sen into the paper figurine, he asked him to monitor Huang Pingwei.

That night, he and Lu Qi slept soundly, and there was no accidental reduction in sleep quality such as "being touched by a ghost into the room".

After waking up the next day, the two of them washed up and sat in the main room to have breakfast with the other players. At the dining table, they saw Huang Pingwei, who was depressed and preoccupied, and Shen Qingcheng remembered about the bet.

He glanced around, but didn't see where the little paper man was hiding, so he took a sip of porridge and subconsciously sensed the position of the little paper man in his heart.

What he explained was not clear at the time, and he only asked Xu Sen to go to Huang Pingwei's room to monitor him. Now that Huang Pingwei has left the room, it is not known whether Xu Sen, who has no sense but only instinct, is staying in Huang Pingwei's room or following him out.

Then Shen Qingcheng, who sensed the position of the little paper figurine, was stunned, and forgot to eat the sour radish caught in his mouth.

He frowned. Where did Xu Sen go? Why did he seem to be far away from him?

This distance is absolutely not possible with Huang Pingwei or staying in Huang Pingwei's room.

He tried to recall the paper figurine, but the feedback from the paper figurine turned out to be weak resistance.

Shen Qingcheng did not choose to force the recall, he was very curious what caused Xu Sen, who had no idea what to do, to suddenly have this subjective emotion of resistance.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qi asked, who found him strange, took the sour radish from his chopsticks and fed it to his mouth.

Shen Qingcheng opened his mouth consciously, the acidity of the radish was just right and the taste was crisp, making people salivate.

Under the temptation of delicious food, he recalled his thoughts of running away, swallowed the food, and whispered in Lu Qi's ear about the paper figurine.

Lu Qi held a big steamed bun, stuffed a sour radish into it and asked, "Can you locate the specific location?"

Shen Qingcheng shook his head, "I only know the general direction, but I don't know how far it is."

And Xu Sen didn't seem to move his position.

On the opposite side, Li Jiao was coquettishly asking her boyfriend to feed her. The indiscriminate dog food attack made the players feel full before eating. The two of them came and went, their voices suppressing the conversation between Lu Qi and Shen Qingcheng.

"Go and have a look after dinner," Lu Qi said, and then handed the steamed bun with radish to Shen Qingcheng, "Don't be picky eaters."

Shen Qingcheng feels aggrieved, I don't pick meat.

After the players finished their breakfast, the young man from yesterday appeared outside the hall.

Today we are going to visit the place where pearl oysters are dissected for pearls. Although the weather is hot and not suitable for collecting pearls, the young man said that the matriarch agreed to select three pearl oysters to demonstrate the process of dissecting pearls.

"Wow, I can actually see how the pearls are cut out?" Li Jiao was very happy. Her pearl fell into the water yesterday, and she might get a new one after visiting.

She twisted Feng Tianrun's arm, "Brother Run, I'm going!"

Feng Tianrun looked at her feet in embarrassment, "But you were injured and your feet hurt."

Li Jiao sweetly said: "With brother Run, I won't hurt~"

Compared to Li Jiao's decisiveness, Shen Qingcheng was more hesitant.

It is certain that there is something wrong with the pearl oyster. He wants to know what is so strange about the pearl oyster, and also wonders why Xu Sen refuses to come back. He is caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, Huang Pingwei asked: "I'm not feeling well, can I stay in the room to rest?"

The young man turned his head to look at him fixedly, and said after a long time, "Of course."

In the end, Shen Qingcheng chose to go to Xu Sen. The pearl oysters could be fished in the pond at any time. If Xu Sen changed his location, he would never know where he was.

He and Lu Qi used the same excuse to stay. After the young man left with the rest of the players, Huang Pingwei glanced at them vigilantly and went back to the room.

Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi didn't bother to talk to him, and went out without going back to the room.

The two approached the little paper figurine according to the direction they sensed, and the more they walked, the more they felt familiar. Lu Qi's memory of the environment was stronger, and halfway there, he said, "We went to the front yesterday, and it was a pond."

It was a different route from the one I walked yesterday, but the final destination was indeed a pond.

Now that they are close, Shen Qingcheng can locate the specific position of the paper figurine based on his induction, and his line of sight falls on a certain pond accurately.

There, the little paper figurine was quietly facing the water, sitting on a piece of gravel with its knees hugged.

Shen Qingcheng remembered an emoji, hugged himself and wept.

Lu Qi followed his gaze and found the little paper figurine.

The two continued to move forward, and when they reached a certain position, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew across the water, and the swaying weeds completely blocked the paper figurine.

Shen Qingcheng suddenly remembered the hand that wanted to pull him into the water yesterday, that female ghost, and when he contacted Xu Sen for his abnormal behavior, he suddenly realized something.

He walked straight towards Xu Sen, the wind grew stronger the closer he got, as if he wanted to force him back.

Shen Qingcheng didn't stop, went to the pond to dig up the weeds, the little paper figurine was still sitting on the stone "embracing and weeping".

He stretched out his hand to the paper figurine, and the cold wind that swept through made a shrill scream, and a dense chill spread around his neck.

Shen Qingcheng ignored it and pinched the paper figurine.

There was a clanging sound of metal hitting a hard object behind him, and the visible female ghost in white was thrown backwards by Lu Qi's knife. At this time, she hung on the water and looked at them with hatred.

"Put him down!" the female ghost screamed, the ear-piercing voice made one's brain ache.

The little paper figurine from another place sat in the palm of Shen Qingcheng "embracing and weeping", and Shen Qingcheng smiled kindly at the female ghost who was at most in her 20s on the water, "Sister, why don't we sit down?" talk?"

The female ghost elder sister didn't want to talk to him, and rushed over fiercely.

Lu Qi held up a knife and reasoned with her. After a round of talking, the female ghost sister was finally persuaded and expressed her willingness to sit down and talk.

"What method did you use to trap him in the paper?" the female ghost asked after the truce.

Shen Qingcheng smiled and said, "It's a commercial secret, but you don't have to worry, it won't cause harm to Xu Sen."

The female ghost didn't refute the name Xu Sen, which meant that he and Lu Qi's guess was at least half right, the earth binding spirit in the paper figurine was indeed Xu Sen.

What needs to be confirmed now is the identity of the female ghost.

He smiled more and more kindly, "I don't know what to call this Xu Sen's wife?"

The female ghost was silent for a while, "...my name is Zeng Lingling."

She hadn't used this identity for so long that she had almost forgotten it.

Perhaps it was because they immediately called out Zeng Lingling's identity that touched her, and Zeng Lingling was quite cooperative in the subsequent questioning.

Zeng Lingling and Xu Sen are college alumni, they found the same company for their internship, and fell in love with each other for a long time during their work.

Zeng Lingling has a handsome appearance and a gentle personality, while Xu Sen is upright and generous.After the two were together, their relationship warmed up quickly, which made the friends around them envious.

Soon the two reached the stage of discussing marriage. Xu Sen happily told his parents about Zeng Lingling's existence, hoping to get their blessings.

Others of the same age are still being urged by their families to find a girlfriend, but he can get married at any time, how amazing.

Xu Sen didn't expect to be severely refuted by his parents.Xu's father and Xu's mother forced him to break up with Zeng Lingling, but Xu Sen was naturally unwilling, and the two sides ended in a stalemate.

Things turned around when Zeng Lingling found out she was pregnant, and Xu's father and Xu's mother finally let go and asked Xu Sen to bring her partner back to have a look during the Chinese New Year.

Hearing this, Shen Qingcheng could almost imagine the next development.

Xu's father and Xu's mother didn't like Zeng Lingling, even if Zeng Lingling was pregnant, this didn't change. What they liked was their grandson in Zeng Lingling's womb.

So Zeng Lingling followed Xu Sen back home and was not allowed to enter the house at all. Xu's father and Xu's mother "specially" built another house for her, which is where the players live now.

Xu Sen was quite stubborn, and when he found out that his girlfriend was being insulted like this, he immediately wanted to take her away, but Zeng Lingling stopped him.

"Thinking about it now, if I had left with him then..." Zeng Lingling looked at the vague ghost hidden in the paper figurine and said.

Zeng Lingling is an orphan, so she really wants to have a complete family. She has made up her mind to be with Xu Sen in her life, so naturally she doesn't want to give up because of this little trouble.

She stayed and lived with Xu Sen in the house specially prepared for her. Except that Xu's parents and Xu's mother didn't see her, life was actually pretty good.

The countryside is beautiful with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Xu Sen took her to play nearby every day, and even secretly picked up the pearl oysters that were not in harvest season at home and split them up and gave them to her.

Zeng Lingling lived happily during that time until someone died in the village.

"You probably don't know that the pearl trade in the village started to improve more than ten years ago, and the beauty pearls first appeared at that time."

She raised her head and sneered, "Because the pearl oysters here are fed with human flesh!"

Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi had guessed about this for a long time, contacting what she said about the dead people in the village, Lu Qi asked: "Did they throw the corpse into the pond?"

"That's right, I couldn't sleep that night and went out with Xu Sen to relax. I saw with my own eyes that the patriarch led people to dig out the corpses that had been buried during the day, tied them with stones and threw them into the pond!"

The stimulated Zeng Lingling showed signs of premature labor, Xu Sen was frightened, and the noise between the two was discovered by the patriarch.

Zeng Lingling was sent to the delivery room by an experienced midwife hired by the patriarch. She lost consciousness halfway, and when she woke up, she found herself floating in the water.

She is dead.
