After Shufen said this, Lin Yingxue, the thin policeman and I were all shocked. Even her husband beside her was confused and asked immediately, "Shufen, what do you mean? Can you see the woman in red?"
Shufen nodded calmly and said, "Of course, I found that after I was resurrected this time, I could see many things that you couldn't see. For example, I could see Dalin and Xiaofang who will come tomorrow, but you couldn't see them. And the red-clothed female ghost, I actually haven't told you that she has come to see me three times in the past few days."
This explosive news was so overwhelming that I couldn't react at all. I immediately asked, "What do you mean? What did she tell you?"
"She just told me that if I ever wanted to leave here, then we would never be able to leave Kaimen Village, and she warned me about this more than once. Do you think I still dare to leave?"
When Shufen's husband heard this, he trembled all over. After a long while, he said angrily, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? What do you want us to do now? Are we going to stay here forever?"
Shufen rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "What are you afraid of? In fact, the red-clothed female ghost is not as cruel as we imagined. Otherwise, she would not have released me after imprisoning me for three years. I will discuss it with her later. Maybe she can let us go."
Shufen's husband was slightly relieved, but from his eyes, it could be seen that he was really worried about his future at this moment.
I don't know why, but I always feel that Shufen's words seem to have some hidden meaning. Although her words sound nonsense and can only scare her husband, I always feel that she is actually talking to me. I don't know what specifically she wants to express.
"Since you can see the red-dressed ghost girl, can you tell me why she didn't let you leave? And what happened three years ago that made the whole village move away?"
Shufen said disdainfully: "I won't ask about this matter. If you want to ask, ask it yourself. I'm still busy cooking. If you don't have anything else, can you please leave? Do you want to eat for free?"
I have a problem. If I go to someone's house and see that the host doesn't welcome me, even if it's just a look or a small gesture, I will leave tactfully. Now that someone says this to my face, I just want to turn around and leave and never care about these lunatics again.
Lin Yingxue was even more furious and said in a cold voice: "Do you think we want to eat your food? We will not leave until this matter is cleared up!"
I hurriedly pulled Lin Yingxue out the door, saying as we walked, "We'll come back tomorrow to ask if there's anything. I hope you can explain the matter of the red-dressed ghost to us tomorrow."
After saying that, I pulled Lin Yingxue and the thin policeman out of Shufen's home and walked towards the house where the thin policeman lived before. It was already completely dark at this time, and there were no more travelers on the road. What was even more strange was that there was not a single light in the entire village. The dark road was completely supported by the light of the flashlight in the thin policeman's hand. There was also a faint eerie wind blowing around. Overall, it felt like I was in a scene from a horror movie. I didn't dare to look around as I didn't believe in ghosts or gods. I kept my eyes straight ahead and said nothing along the way, and hurried back to the previous room.
After returning to the room, I saw Bai Longfei and the fat policeman playing chess while smoking. I thought they were really having a good time, and immediately went up to ask Bai Longfei about the results of his investigation on the roof.
Bai Longfei frowned and said, "I have been to the roof and even checked the edge of the toilet wall over there carefully several times. There is absolutely no way for someone to fall from the sky and land accurately at the toilet door. I think this matter is a bit strange. Tomorrow I will get you up there and see what you can find. My brain is not as good as yours."
I nodded gently, but my heart was in a mess. How come after we came to Kaimen Village today, we couldn't really understand everything we wanted to know? There wasn't even a clue? This feeling made me feel the most uncomfortable. If it wasn't dark now, I would probably continue investigating.
The fat policeman put down the chess piece in his hand, went to another room and brought out a pot. There was still steam coming out of it, so it should be our dinner tonight. But when he brought the pot over, I found that it contained instant noodles.
I frowned and asked, "Are we going to have instant noodles tonight?"
"There's nothing we can do. There's nothing in this damn place, not even electricity. We can only make do with what we have. The instant noodles we brought with us this time are plenty, and should be enough for us to eat for a few days."
Hearing what the fat police officer said, I was immediately puzzled: "No electricity? How can those construction workers do their work without electricity?"
At this time, I could still hear the noisy construction noise outside. I was really worried that the noise would continue when I went to sleep.
"They should be supplied with electricity from the generators they brought with them. Anyway, this village has been deserted for three years. Where can they get electricity?"
I was wondering why Bai Longfei and the fat policeman were playing chess when I arrived. We had almost used up the batteries on our phones when I arrived. I guess Bai Longfei's phone is out of battery now. It seems that I can only wait boredly for bed tonight.
The instant noodle dinner was finished quickly. I didn't think much of it because I had eaten it often before, but Lin Yingxue seemed to be a little uncomfortable with it. She only ate a few bites and stopped eating. So I gave Lin Yingxue the only bread I had left that I had prepared for eating in the car, and then prepared to clean up the room and go to sleep.
The yard chosen by the two local police officers was very large, with many empty rooms. However, since no one had lived there for a long time, it was covered with dust. Bai Longfei and I, two grown men, spent a long time cleaning up and almost choked to death. Lin Yingxue couldn't stand it anymore, so she drove us away and cleaned up the room for us.
By the time Lin Yingxue had tidied the room, it was almost eight o'clock, but it was pitch black and we couldn't see anything. We had no choice but to rest early and talk about anything tomorrow morning.
The three of us newcomers each had our own room. My room was at the easternmost end of the yard, relatively far away from their rooms. I didn’t know why I was assigned to such a room, but I had to accept it.
I was lying on the somewhat hard bed. The whole room was pitch black. Only the moon outside the window barely provided me with some light. I felt as if I was surrounded by darkness and a little breathless.
I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I decided to take out my phone and read a novel. However, when I took out my phone, I found that it had run out of battery and turned off automatically. Now I had nothing to do. I could only lie in this dark room and think about random things so that I could fall asleep early.
But just when I was feeling a little sleepy, I suddenly heard someone knocking gently on the door of my room.
'Bang, bang, bang.'
The knock on the door was very quiet, and it sounded like the person knocking on the door should be very polite, but who was knocking on the door in the middle of the night? It was obviously unlikely that it was Bai Longfei, and the noise he made when knocking on the door was so loud that it almost broke the door open. It was obviously unlikely that it was the two policemen, so could it be Lin Yingxue
Why did she come to my room in the middle of the night? Was she afraid of sleeping alone and wanted me to sleep with her? I fantasized for a few seconds, then cleared my throat and asked, "Who is it?"
But after I asked this, I suddenly heard the person knocking on the door as if he was frightened, and there were hurried footsteps, as if he had run away. I realized that something was wrong, and immediately picked up the dagger that I had not returned to Lin Yingxue, put on my shoes and coat, walked to the door and opened it, then let my eyes adjust to the darkness while looking outside the door carefully.
After my eyes had completely adjusted to the darkness, I looked carefully at the yard outside the door, but found that there was no one in the dark environment outside the door, and there was no movement in the other rooms. It seemed that the knocking and footsteps I heard just now were just illusions.
I walked out of the door in confusion and walked around the yard. After making sure that there was no one there, I reluctantly prepared to go back and continue resting. But when I walked to the door, I found that the door I had just opened had closed by itself at some point!
I clearly remember that when I went out, I used a wooden stick to hold the door shut, but now the door closed by itself. Obviously, someone sneaked into my house while I was away!
Thinking of this, I suddenly didn’t dare to go in. I tilted my ear and listened carefully to the movements in the house. It seemed that there was indeed another person in my room at this moment!
After hearing the noise in the house, I found that my legs were a little weak. Who was playing a joke on me in the middle of the night? I held the dagger tightly in my hand and wanted to ask Bai Longfei for help, but I didn't know why I reached out and knocked on the door!
'Bang, bang, bang.'
After I knocked on the door three times, I suddenly felt that the scene at this moment seemed familiar, as if it had just happened not long ago. However, what I didn't expect was that just a few seconds after I knocked on the door, someone in the house actually spoke.
"Who is it?"
When I heard the voice of the person in the room, my head felt like it was hit hard by a big bell, buzzing violently! The hand holding the dagger also began to tremble violently, because the voice of the person speaking in the room at this time was my own voice!
