Chapter 0288 – How about making a friend?

　　The cabin was silent, and Chen Ge stayed in the doorway for more than ten seconds until Xu Yin’s suppressed voice came faintly from the repeater.

　　”It hurts ……”

　　The oldest man should not have fallen asleep yet, and the sound of rolling over and tugging at the covers resounded in the cabin as Xu Yin opened her mouth.

　　The old man heard the movement outside the door, but he didn’t come out, instead covering his head in the quilt.

　　”He must be scared now.”

　　The lock on the door of the second cabin was also outside, and Chen Ge grabbed the lock and slowly exerted force, wanting to try to see if he could push the door open.

　　But the door panel only moved less than a centimeter inward before it was blocked by something.

　　He leaned over the doorway and looked inside, the second wooden house was fully furnished with household items, a wooden bed, a wooden chair, a wooden table, and a closet without a door, in which a large pile of washed out clothes were hanging.

　　”It looks like he has been living here for a long time.” Chen Ge couldn’t figure out why this old man, who was obviously scared to death, would still be living in the middle of a murderous house where a murder had occurred, and what was even weirder was that he would run to the peach forest to turn over the soil in the middle of the night.

　　Now was not the time to showdown with the old man, Chen Ge silently backed away and walked towards the third wooden house.

　　The rainy night was darker than usual as the stars and moon were nowhere to be seen.

　　Chen Ge did not turn on the lights, and with the help of his Yin pupil, he walked slowly, and soon arrived at the door of the third wooden house.

　　The third cabin was the largest in size, and there was a rusty lock hanging on the door, Chen Ge gently pushed it, not realizing that the lock was just a decoration.

　　”Crunch ……”

　　The door of the room was pushed open, the door of this third wooden house had locks installed both inside and outside, not quite the same as the other rooms.

　　With the comparison, Chen Ge felt even more strange.

　　In a normal old rural mansion, the outside of the door was equipped with a lock, and the inside of the door, even if there was no locking device installed, would be equipped with a bolt, so that the door of the room could be locked regardless of whether it was inside or outside the house.

　　But this was not the case with the first and second wooden houses, the inside of the doors were bare and nothing was there.

　　”It feels like the first and second log cabins are like holding livestock in captivity, with locks mounted on the outside of the doors to prevent the livestock from arching the bolts and escaping.”

　　Entering into the middle of the third wooden room, the house was divided into two compartments inside and outside, with a large bed in the inner room, and a wooden table and a very simple stove outside.

　　”Jiang Ling’s parents should have died in this house.”

　　Walking in the middle of the murder house, Chen Ge didn’t feel any discomfort, probably because he was already used to it.

　　He rummaged through the boxes and found a lot of twine hanging on the walls of the inner room, and found a whole set of carpenter’s tools under the bedpan.

　　”The dust is thick, the toolbox hasn’t been opened for a long time, it’s highly likely that it’s something from the deceased’s life.” Chen Ge put the box away and looked at these wooden houses, “Jiang Ling’s father was a carpenter in his lifetime? Then he made all these wooden houses himself? The locks on the doors of the first two rooms were also intentionally designed to look like that?”

　　With no further gains, Chen Ge walked towards the last wooden house.

　　This house was in the deepest part of the peach forest and was not connected to the other three wooden houses, built alone a dozen meters away.

　　Chen Ge walked on the muddy path, bypassed a few crooked peach trees, and stopped outside the fourth wooden house.

　　There were two locks on the wooden door, one full of rust and one brand new.

　　”The new locks should have been put on by the boss, what untold secrets are hidden in this house?”

　　He walked around the wooden house, the fourth wooden house didn’t even have a window and was completely closed.

　　Lying down at the doorway and looking inside, there were many nails nailed to the walls of the wooden house, a few hemp ropes hanging, and the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs.

　　There was also something similar to an ancient torture device at the center of the house, several wooden boards put together just enough to get a person stuck in it, unable to move.

　　”It hurts ……”

　　Xu Yin’s voice came from the repeater, slightly different from the low and depressing one at the beginning, as if he was reminding Chen Ge that the house was dangerous, don’t go near it.

　　”It’s too strange, there isn’t even a bed, table or chair in the fourth wooden house, what is this house used for?”

　　Chen Ge took out his skull crushing hammer and deliberated for a moment before not impulsively smashing open the wooden door, “Can’t be too rude, it will leave a bad impression on the other party.”

　　The rain got heavier and heavier, and lightning occasionally streaked across the night sky.

　　Chen Ge didn’t have much to gain and went back to the middle of his room, “I don’t have anything in this house except a bed, it’s hard to find something to block the door.”

　　He was worried that in the latter part of the night, someone would sneak in while he wasn’t paying attention, so he simply moved the wooden bed behind the door, “Let’s do this for now.”

　　Pillowing his backpack and hugging Xiao Xiao in his arms, Chen Ge curled up, his eyes looking at the small window of the wooden house.

　　The window was only as big as a basketball, and living in this wooden cabin felt similar to entering a prison.

　　”Wait until dawn, if there are no accidents, then I’ll find the boss to show my hand.”

　　The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, the night wind was howling, the branches and leaves were making a rustling sound, as if there were countless small hands slowly coming together around the wooden house.

　　At two in the morning, Chen Ge was flipping through his cell phone when he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from outside.

　　The sound did not come from the oldest master’s room, it should be the door of the third wooden house being opened.

　　”The old master didn’t leave the room, the one who opened the door was someone else, it seems that the thing he has been afraid of has finally appeared!”

　　Chen Ge took a breath, grabbed the quilt stained with cobwebs on the side of the bed, not minding the dirt, and directly covered his body, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

　　He moved the wooden bed to the doorway of the room, his feet stepping on the door panel, his eyes looking at the window next to the wooden door.

　　The rain was still increasing, and vaguely he could hear something walking outside, footsteps jumbled together like several people clustered together.

　　”It’s coming!”

　　The door panel of the next room was cut by something, as if several hands were scratching on the rough wooden door at the same time, it lasted for more than a minute, Chen Ge suddenly heard a woman’s voice coming out from the old man’s door.

　　”Save me, save me.”

　　The woman had a crying voice, and judging from the voice, the other party should not be too old.

　　”The old master is afraid of it?” Chen Ge’s brain raced, the oldest man next door seemed to have known that the other party would appear, pretending to be asleep in the house and not responding.

　　The strange sound on the door panel lasted for ten minutes before it disappeared, and the disorganized footsteps outside sounded once again, this time it stopped at the door of Chen Ge’s room.

　　That kind of creepy cutting sound resounded outside Chen Ge’s door, the other party seemed to have discovered something, getting harder and harder, the wooden door even shook.

　　Shrinking amongst the covers, Chen Ge was not only a little glad that he had moved his bed to the doorway.

　　The wooden door couldn’t be opened, which wasn’t quite what the monster outside thought, it scratched frantically, and after a few seconds, the sound of her crying came from outside the door.

　　”Help me, help me, help me!”

　　The door panel shook, Chen Ge put his hand into his backpack and gripped the skull crushing hammer, he had already prepared for the worst.

　　But the monster outside the door only shouted a few times before it stopped, along with the sound of scratching the door.

　　”I don’t hear footsteps, she hasn’t left yet! This cunning fellow.”

　　Chen Ge lay motionless under the quilt, he wanted to follow the window to see what was going on outside, but when his line of sight just swept to the window, he choked slightly.

　　Outside the basketball-sized window, there was a woman’s head hovering, the whites of her eyes full of whites, and scarlet spider threads in her mouth entwined with the black hair on top of her head.

　　”Help me, help me!”

　　The woman opened her mouth as the blood-red spider silk spread towards the room, and several hands raked the edges of the window.

　　Drawing out his skull-crushing hammer, Chen Ge flung his backpack to the side as he looked at the woman’s face and walked over on his own initiative with a hard head!
