Chapter 290: Living Coffin Village

The blood-red spider silk left a line of words on the door panel, which was strange to say, and when the old man turned to look, those words turned into blood and slowly slipped down.

"You've been looking for Sister Jiangling's body, have you done anything to shame her?" Chen Ge heard a trace of guilt and self-blame from the old man's words.

"Let's go inside." The old man hung the lamp in his hand at the door, and the secret hidden in his heart for many years was discovered, which made him a little at a loss.

After seeing Chen Ge come in, he stood in the second wooden room and let out a long sigh: "Actually, I know who the person who poisoned that couple is. ”

"You know?" Chen Ge grabbed the skull-crushing hammer and stopped at the door, and did not continue to walk inside.

"I can probably guess some." The old man lifted the wooden bed slats, and a coffin was hidden under the bed.

It is a little smaller than a normal coffin and is pure black.

"Put the coffin under the bed?" Chen Ge was even more curious.

"The coffin is for the Zhu family's daughter." The old man pushed open the lid of the coffin and took out an unfinished tablet from it, with three words written on it - Zhu Xinrou.

"Why did you prepare a coffin for her? Could it be that her disappearance has something to do with you? ”

"This matter really counts from a long time ago." The old man looked at the tablet in his hand in a daze: "When I was a child, I heard the adults in the village say that there is a coffin village in the depths of the Jiujiang Mountains, and the village never interacts with outsiders. ”

The first half of what the old man said Chen Ge could still understand, the village was deep in the mountains and did not interact with outsiders. If you marry in a mixed marriage, there will be a high probability of deformity.

But what the old man said later, Chen Ge couldn't understand it, what did it mean for every household to prepare a live coffin? The coffin was placed in the house, which was too unlucky.

"Uncle, is that village still there?" Chen Ge closed the door and asked softly.

"At first, I thought that village was a legend, after all, no one had ever seen it, but who knew that strange things were happening." The old man put down Sister Jiangling's tablet and reached out to rummage through something in the coffin: "The coffin village in the mountains had a disaster more than ten years ago, and several families escaped. ”

"The people who escaped all looked similar to normal people, and they didn't have the strange habits of the legend, so Baijia Village at the foot of the mountain took them in at that time."

"But no one expected that in the same year, there was also a plague in Baijia Village." There was some regret in the old man's voice, as if there was some opposition to taking those people in, but they didn't care.

"Who brought the disease out of the mountains?"

"Who can say that now? The capable people in the village have all moved away, and the ten rooms are empty, but the people who escaped from the coffin village have taken root here, and later they changed the name of the village, which is the Linguan Village you see now. Uncle Bai finally found what he was looking for in the coffin, and he took out a black cloth coat from it.

"This coat is made by me for the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and those who die outside must wear black clothes when they enter the coffin, so that the blood will not be too conspicuous." There is another feature of the clothes in the old man's hand, there are four sleeves on the two ribs and the back, which are only a quarter of the length of the normal sleeve.

"Don't you think this dress is weird? The boss of the Zhu family looks like this. The old man's voice became lower and lower, and Chen Ge could hear the discomfort in his heart: "The child's parents escaped from the coffin village, and her mother was already pregnant with her at that time, so it can be said that this child is the last 'seed' of the coffin village." ”

"This degree of deformity is no longer near. The marriage can be explained clearly, there is a big problem in that coffin village! ”

Chen Ge didn't expect the answer to be like this, he looked at the black clothes made by the old man, and could imagine Zhu Xinrou's appearance.

"I don't know if there is a problem in the coffin village, I just know that this child is living a miserable life, and her parents are very afraid that the people in the village will see her. When she was a child, no matter how hot it was, she was wrapped tightly, and when she grew up, she couldn't hide it. They locked the child in the house and didn't let her go out. The old man folded the clothes and put them on the lid of the coffin, and soon the clothes were ready to use.

"And then?"

"The paper can't hold the fire, the people in the village still found the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and the most unexpected thing for me is those who fled from the coffin village together, not only did they not help the couple speak at this time, but they were also ready to kill the eldest daughter directly."

"Their rhetoric was fierce, and in the end, it was the people of Baijia Village who came forward to stabilize the situation, and everyone decided to drive the couple out of the village."

"The father of the eldest daughter of the Zhu family is a coffin maker, and he is very skilled in carpentry, and after leaving the village, they lived near the peach forest, and their life was very poor."

"As the days passed, everything went quiet, and I heard that the couple had given birth to a second daughter."

"Just when everyone thought it was going to be over, the couple ran back to the village, saying that their eldest daughter had been lost, and that the families were careful."

"You heard it right, they didn't ask someone to help find their daughter, they just told all the villagers to be careful."

"A few days later, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family was found in the back mountain, and her parents hung her up and beat her severely."

"After a few months, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family escaped again, and every time she was recovered, her parents would beat her hard."

"The wooden house built in the depths of the peach forest, you shouldn't have been to it yet, that house is used to close the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, and her father also made a set of utensils."

"The eldest daughter of the Zhu family is regarded as a monster by the people in the village, and her parents also dislike and hate her, and among all the people around her, only the younger sister treats her very well and treats her as a relative."

"The youngest daughter of the Zhu family also has a strange place in her body, but it is not as obvious as the eldest daughter, and she has a well-behaved face, which is very likable and sensible."

The old man sighed: "My land is next to the peach forest, and I usually have a lot of contact with that little girl, she is not very afraid of people, and she will be familiar when she comes and goes." ”

"Once I was working in the fields, and the girl came to me crying and asked me to save her sister, and I knew the situation in her family, so I didn't go over."

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't go on, his cloudy eyes stared at the black clothes on the coffin, and his hands slowly grasped his knees: "I should have stood up to help her say something, even if she was a monster." ”

"The girl left crying, I couldn't rest assured, and then I ran around the peach forest myself."

"I saw the eldest daughter of the Zhu family in the fourth room, and that was the last time I saw her. Her body was stuck in the plank, and a few hands were hung by the hemp rope, and she had many scars on her body, and she was dying. ”

"I really can't imagine what happened to her, she begged me to save her, but I was so scared that I wanted to leave."

"A few days later, when I finally mustered up the courage to go again, the couple told me that their eldest daughter was missing."
