My ghost wives all want to kill me?

Li Gui immediately took the ghost-killing knife and pushed open the main door.

The two relatively largest wooden doors were not locked. The reason why Li Gui used the ghost-killing knife to open the door was because he was worried that a terrifying monster would jump out of the main room the moment he opened the door.

But the door was easily pushed open, and there were no scary monsters jumping out to kill him in the face.

But Li Gui's expression froze when he saw the scene inside in the dim candlelight.

"If I had known it was like this, I should have waited for Yiyi and the others to wake up from the beginning."

He gritted his teeth, even though he felt in his heart that there was an abyss ahead.

But Li Gui, with his arrow on the string, finally walked in amid a burst of flickering candlelight.

The moment he stepped into the main room, the two tall wooden doors behind him immediately closed.

Amid the banging sound, it seemed vaguely impatient.

"This should be considered the mother-in-law's mood when she wants to see her son-in-law."

Looking at the closed door behind him, Li Gui didn't want to try to see if he could open it. He turned on the flashlight and looked at the layout of the entire main hall with a strange expression.

Directly opposite the door is a dilapidated altar. Hanging on the altar is a huge picture of Guanyin, most of which has been corroded by time, leaving only some incomplete and dim golden frames.

There is a Guanyin painting hanging on this door, and there is a pair of red couplets on both sides of the extremely mottled and black wall. Compared with the statue of the god in the middle, it is still more complete.

On the left, written with a brush, there are five willow trees in front of the door, and on the right, there are descendants of three locust trees under the hall. At the top is a wooden plaque, engraved with the four characters "The World is Prosperous".

The altar was in a mess, with an empty blue and white porcelain vase, a mottled copper mirror, and an inexplicably burning white candlestick.

They all show a scene of decline and abjection all the time.

But apart from these, the first thing that catches the eye is definitely the four brown coffins placed horizontally on the left and right when entering the door.

Under each coffin, two benches were used to lift it up. The end with the word "sacrificial" carved on it happened to be aligned with Li Gui's position.

Chapter 2 Welcoming the bride

What makes people even more panic-stricken is that each coffin is not sealed, and there is a small gap in front of the coffin board, as if waiting for someone to get in.

He was also stunned by the four coffins from the beginning. For a while, Li Gui didn't think about why there was a white candle burning abruptly above the altar and under the picture of the statue.

And in front of the altar, on one side of the table, there will be a red wooden chair with its back facing him.

"How about I just stand at the door and shout three times that my son-in-law has come to meet my mother-in-law Ye Xiaoxuan. I have someone to protect me. Otherwise, I feel very dangerous. Don't you think so, Xiaobai?"

He took out Xiaobai from his pocket again.

Facing the strange scene composed of four coffins, Li Gui felt an unspeakable pressure.

But it's a pity that no miracle happened. No matter how much Xiaobai's soft and white body was played with in his hands, no words were spoken.

Helpless, someone could only stuff her back again.

The ground under your feet is covered with moss, yellow sand and weeds, and you can vaguely see the gaps between the mud turns.

Li Gui stood there until he was sure it was temporarily safe, then took out his flashlight and stepped forward.

The entire front hall is very large, and only a small wall in the living room is hung with couplets of gods and statues. There is still space behind the small wall.

There are wooden door frames decorated with upside-down lintels on the left and right sides, and there are also some wooden lantern stands on the grid under the beams.

Due to the lack of sight, Li Gui could not see the road leading behind the two door frames for the time being.

He looked at the top of his head and felt that the conditions for hanging himself were not met here.

In a large house like this, for the sake of beauty, the beams are usually built very high, and the beams are covered with gridded wooden frames and greased paper.

Only in the living room can there be exposed and relatively low beams.

"There are a total of ten people in the Ye family mansion. Judging from their age, the little girl painting in the east wing and her sister in the painting are both likely to be Wei Ran's biological mother, Ye Xiaoxuan."

Li Gui did not go behind the door frame for the time being. He held a flashlight and walked towards the pair of wooden chairs and coffee tables directly in front of him amid the flickering candlelight.

The wooden table is very small, only about thirty or forty centimeters, and the wooden chairs on the left and right sides are also very low, with only two gray soft cushions spread out.

The chair on the left is facing away from the door, and the chair on the right is facing the door, which looks strange.

"Why did you put a wooden chair with its back facing the door?"

Frowning and wondering, Li Gui simply looked around with a flashlight. After finding nothing, he turned his attention to the coffin on the side behind him.

"Could these coffins be related to Ye Xiaoxuan... My previous reasoning has always been based on the fact that Ye Xiaoxuan is indeed related to the people in the Ye family mansion, but this premise is not necessarily accurate, and it is possible that she is an outsider. He just changed his surname to Ye on purpose and went to Ye's house to hang himself. Was it because of other things?"

The possibility of this speculation is small, but it cannot be ruled out.

Under the premise that Ye Xiaoxuan's identity is not yet known, Li Gui will not give up any possibility.

Near the left side of the wooden chair, inside the first coffin, look through the open gap.

It was empty, and the smooth walls were only covered with jet-black paint without much decoration.

There are no other written descriptions or information around the coffin. Apart from a rotten smell spreading from it, nothing else can be seen.

"However, the entire coffin is placed sideways, and the coffin lid has only opened the front one-fifth of the gap. It is difficult to determine whether there is any other information deeper inside."

Recalling his initial experience in the Tsuchiya, Li Gui planned to take out his mobile phone and take a selfie of the inside of the coffin.

Suddenly, the candles on the altar under the picture of the god were extinguished. In the darkness, the sound of rain that had been falling outside the door also disappeared in an instant.

The entire scene fell into an eerie silence, filled with an unsettling feeling.

"someone is coming?"

He hurriedly turned off the flashlight. In the darkness, Li Gui took a few steps back and leaned against the wooden board on the left side of the door when he entered, holding the ghost-killing knife tightly in his hand.

If he could still understand the extinguishing of the candles, then the disappearance of the sound of rain outside the door was the root of the strangeness.

How could the scene of pouring rain disappear in less than a second, and even the sound of the wind stopped.

In the silence and darkness, Li Gui's expression was tense. As time passed, he seemed to hear some strange and eerie sound approaching, just outside the house.

Is this the sound of suona and wailing?

"Okay...ah...ah...hi...hi..."

"Congratulations...Blessings...Yin..."

"Big...it must be...just..."

"Ancestor...who...died..."

......

The sound kept getting closer, and the more obvious sound of the suona instrument came from outside the closed door, along with the inaudible sounds of people talking.

At the same time, there were occasional wails and repeated shouts.

The various noisy sounds stacked together made Li Gui easily think of the scenes of welcoming brides and banquets for villagers in the countryside.

However, the sounds outside the door were more complicated and weirder.

Although the suona plays passionate tunes, there are always wailing and shouting sounds behind it.

Call a person's name repeatedly.

It seems, is it Ye Chao?

Li Gui didn't dare to listen anymore. The noisy sound outside the door was getting closer and closer, and it had already reached the front yard of the main house. He didn't know if the guy who made these sounds outside could come in.

But if he comes in, he will probably die immediately without a burial place by himself.

After all, no matter how you sounded, it didn't look like there was a person outside the door.

crunch~

However, nine times out of ten things were not going as he wished. Before Li Gui could think of a good solution, the sound of opening the door suddenly came from the closed door next to him, and the door was pushed open at a small sharp angle.

Although it has not been completely opened, a slender gap has been exposed.

Then the noisy scene outside suddenly returned to silence.

The sound of rain did not restart, it was like returning to before everything strange happened.

But Li Gui couldn't be happy at all.

Damn it, these ghosts outside the door are coming in? ! !

He unconsciously moved to the side. Judging from the sounds, there were definitely more than four or five resentful spirits outside. Li Huihuan was not naive enough to think that he could deal with the hordes of ghosts with a knife and a puppet.

But he really has no good solution now.

Next to him were two coffins with a gap opened. Not to mention whether he would be discovered by the ghosts outside if he moved now. Just passing between the two coffins in the dark was enough to make people nervous.

What if something messy comes out of the coffin and is cooperating with a group of ghosts outside?

Isn't he really tough?

Although, it seems, it’s almost as good as not leaving.

boom! ! !

The atmosphere of silence lasted for dozens of seconds, just when Li Gui moved slightly, planning to try to pass through the coffin and hide elsewhere in the main room.

Beside you, the closed door was knocked open with a bang, and the dark wind rushed in along with the sound of rain, on the first floor, in the faint moonlight.

Chapter 231 She came in?

His body suddenly tensed up, and Li Guigang immediately froze in place as he moved. His breathing was shallow and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

Come in?

The surroundings were dark, and Li Gui didn't know if the group of guys outside had come in. The veins in the palm of his hand holding the ghost-killing knife were exposed due to excessive force.

However, it was still dark in front of him, with only the faint moonlight from outside the house seeping into it.

There was no horrific attack, but the sound of heavy rain hitting the eaves and the cold wind rushing in.

There was nothing. The whole living room of the main house still maintained the tranquility as before. Time passed quietly in silence, but there was no sudden crisis, so it came to an end.

"Did you leave, or have you gone somewhere else?"

Li Gui stood stiffly and waited for a while, until his limbs became a little numb, and then Li Gui dared to slightly poke his head out the door.

What came into view was the huge locust tree in the courtyard. The moonlight above the locust tree flickered on and off. As soon as it appeared, it was covered by a burst of dark clouds.

The raindrops falling all around, amidst the whistling wind, did not decrease, and the whole scene seemed to have not changed much.

The only difference is under the eaves at the door and in front of the steps.

That pair of red embroidered shoes that he found in the west wing and disappeared again!

"Did she come here by herself, or did someone put it here?"

If it had been before, when there were two guardians around him, Li Gui would have definitely run over to take the embroidered shoes and take a good look at them now.

But now, he was helpless, standing at the door, looking at the pair of overly bright embroidered shoes, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

In the moonlight, it seemed that there was really a woman wearing these shoes, standing in front of him.

"The red embroidered shoes are Yin Mengyi's relics during her lifetime. They are likely to be her sustenance after her death. She may be the one who has the greatest resentment in the entire mansion. She is tied up in a coffin and buried with the dead."

Li Gui's hands and feet were cold, and the red dancing shoes did not move for the time being, still looking like a dead thing.

But he didn't dare to get close, and even for a while, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"It's better to stay away from this thing."

After hesitating for a while, Li Gui decided to close the door on one side, and then used the ghost-killing knife to pull up and close the other door. Facing the darkness he fell into again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The situation is more dangerous than I thought. It seems we must hurry up and find Ye Xiaoxuan."

There was no strange noise outside the house for the time being, so Li Gui turned on the flashlight again and looked around.

There was still nothing in the four coffins. Only the innermost coffin contained a set of faded robes that seemed to be for an adult man.

There were no clues inside, so Li Gui opened it and put it back in its place.

There is no need to worry about whether there is anything else deep in the coffin.

"A woman's wing is usually at the innermost part of the house, but if Ye Xiaoxuan was young 40 years ago, she might have shared a room with her parents."
