Mo Shouchen patted Guo Xin on the shoulder and asked, "Does your uncle have a twin brother?"

Guo Xin was already very nervous, but Mo Shouchen's sudden slap almost made him urinate. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and caught him.

He turned back with some annoyance and said, "Are you busy? My father is the second eldest child. Where did my uncle get his twin brother?"

Mo Shouchen pointed to the top of his head and said, "If your uncle doesn't have a twin brother, then what we saw outside just now might be a ghost."

Guo Xin had no idea what Mo Shouchen was talking about. He raised his head in confusion and suddenly saw the person hanging from the ceiling.

This man's clothes and appearance were exactly the same as the uncle I just saw outside.

A rope came down from the rafter and was put around his neck. Due to suffocation, his tongue was stretched out, his eyes were still open, and a stool fell next to him.

It seems that he should have hanged himself.

When he saw his uncle's death, Guo Xin suddenly lost his grip and urinated part of the urine.

"How is it possible? I just saw my uncle there..."

"Guo Xin, what are you doing in the kitchen? Come inside quickly. Uncle misses you!"

Just when Guo Xin was still in shock, his uncle's voice suddenly came from outside the kitchen, and from the sound of footsteps, he should be walking this way.

This time, Guo Xin couldn't hold it tightly anymore, and the remaining part peeed out in a loud bang.

Fortunately, Mo Shouchen reacted quickly enough. He quickly closed the kitchen door and shouted to Guo Xin: "Why are you dazed? Where is the entrance to the tunnel? Hurry up!"

"Ah? Ah!"

Guo Xin, who was standing there in a daze, was finally woken up by Mo Shouchen's scolding. He hurried to the stove, then struggled to move the water tank, and then pushed the shelf board on the ground.

A dark tunnel entrance was revealed.

"Guo Xin, why did you close the kitchen door? Open it quickly. Uncle is hungry and wants to eat!"

The ghost outside has walked to the kitchen door.

Because he almost had a headache at Miao Cuilan's house, Mo Shouchen didn't dare to press the door with his back.

He found a pole, put one head on the ground and the other on the door handle, and then shouted to Guo Xin: "Push that vat over here!"

"okay!"

Guo Xin obediently knocked down the large water tank and pushed it to the door. The two of them worked together to put the water tank upright and hold it against the door.

"Let's go!"

Mo Shouchen pulled Guo Xin and ran to the entrance of the tunnel, but before entering, he made a precaution and let Guo Xin go down first.

At this time, Guo Xin was like a good baby, basically doing whatever Mo Shouchen asked him to do.

Seeing that nothing happened after Guo Xin got down, Mo Shouchen jumped down.

It was pitch dark in the tunnel, with only a little light at the entrance of the cave.

Because there was no need to worry about being discovered by the crazy villagers in the tunnel, Mo Shouchen turned on the flashlight.

He bought this flashlight in a small town before. It is the most ordinary flashlight. The light penetration is average, but it can provide close-range lighting. At least it is much stronger than the flashlight that comes with the mobile phone.

Turning on the flashlight, Mo Shouchen saw that underneath the tunnel entrance was a space not much larger than an elevator car.

There is an iron gate directly in front. Behind the iron gate should be the tunnel leading to Guo Xin's house.

Guo Xin took out the key from his pocket and opened the iron door. After the two people entered, he turned around and locked the iron door again.

I just don’t know if this iron gate can block the ghost outside.

Mo Shouchen looked around with a flashlight and found that the tunnel walls were very smooth.

Thinking about it, for Guo Xin, who is mining coal, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone to dig such a tunnel.

"move!"

Mo Shouchen urged, but Guo Xin did not move forward. Instead, he took off a torch plugged into the wall, then bent down to pick up a bottle of liquid on the ground and poured it on the torch.

"Isn't there a flashlight here? Why do you need a torch?" Mo Shouchen asked in confusion.

"You don't understand. This tunnel has been closed. The carbon dioxide content inside may be very high. Lighting a torch can detect the carbon dioxide concentration and prevent suffocation."

Guo Xin finally found a sense of presence. As a coal mine boss, he still has this bit of common sense.

After lighting the torch, the two people walked forward along the tunnel one after the other.

Because when the tunnel was originally dug, it was necessary to avoid the residents above. The tunnel was dug according to the direction of the village roads, so the tunnel was not a straight line, but had many turns.

Guo Xin walked in front with a torch, and Mo Shouchen followed cautiously, looking back from time to time to see if anything was following.

The two people walked forward for a certain distance, then passed a right turn, and then walked a little further and made another right turn.

When he passed the third right turn, Mo Shouchen felt something was wrong.

The turns in the tunnel are basically at right angles. Now I have made three right turns, which seems to be a circle.

When they passed the fourth right turn, Mo Shouchen directly told Guo Xin not to go any further.

"What's wrong?" Because of fear, Guo Xin did not find anything wrong with the tunnel.

"We seem to be going in circles. Have you walked through this tunnel before?"

"After walking through it twice, it seems that there really aren't that many turns." Then Guo Xin's expression suddenly changed, "Is this... a ghost hitting a wall!"

Mo Shouchen did not deny it. He thought for a moment and then said, "Let's do this. I'll stand here while you keep walking forward and see what happens."

Guo Xin said with a look of fear: "You want me to go forward by myself? No! I don't dare!"

"Then let's terminate our cooperation. I'm leaving!"

As Mo Shouchen turned around and was about to go back, Guo Xin quickly said: "Don't leave, okay, okay, can't I just leave!"

Mo Shouchen secretly laughed in his heart. The reason why he pretended not to cooperate was to keep the initiative in his own hands.

Judging from the current situation, his goal has been achieved.

Guo Xin walked forward reluctantly while holding the torch. After taking two steps, he had to look back. However, after turning a corner, he couldn't see Mo Shouchen even if he turned back.

The originally narrow tunnel gave people a strong sense of oppression. Coupled with the fear inside, Guo Xin's every step was filled with trepidation.

He stared straight ahead and did not dare to turn his head, because he was afraid that if he turned his head, he would see a terrifying ghost face appear in front of him.

He counted the turns he took in his mind.

one!

two!

three……

When he turned the third corner, he saw a person standing in front of him.

The man's back was turned to him, and he was holding a flashlight in his hand.

It's Mo Shouchen!

"You're right, we are indeed spinning in circles."

Guo Xin walked forward as he spoke, but when he was halfway there, he stopped.

Because he saw the person in front of him turned his head, and that person's face...

Turns out to be his uncle!
