The ghost knocked on the door, luckily I was able to read the save file!

At the back of the mountain.

Zhao Qian held a bunch of torches and followed Tong Tong and Zhao Shuang.

Tong Tong and Zhao Shuang each held a torch, but did not light it.

The three had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Staring at the dark and deep environment of the forest and the cold wind that blew from time to time, the three couldn't help but feel timid, and for a moment they didn't dare to move forward.

"Should we... light a fire?" Zhao Shuang asked a question subconsciously.

"No, we'll light it after we find the cave. If we accidentally start a forest fire, we'll be in trouble." Tong Tong objected decisively.

The three swallowed hard, then suppressed their fear and slowly stepped into it.

The temperature in the forest dropped significantly, and even in the scorching sun, Zhao Qian and the others couldn't help shivering.

It was really too cold.

However, this kind of cold was not ordinary cold, but seemed to be able to freeze the soul directly.

The three of them regretted that they should not have agreed to Zhang Yuan's task arrangement before.

The three of them walked slowly along the path towards the depths of the forest.

Zhao Qian, who was walking at the back, always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. This feeling became stronger and stronger, making him uncomfortable.

A sense of horror like hair bursting constantly stimulated his heart, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

With every step he took, it seemed as if someone was following him in his footprints. Zhao Qian could even hear slight footsteps and strange breathing.

Fear enveloped him, making his heart beat faster and his mind confused.

He couldn't help but want to look back, but at this moment, a thought suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind: "Don't look back! Absolutely not!"

He remembered the stories he often heard from the old people in the village when he was a child.

They said that people have three fires on their bodies, one on the top of their heads and one on each shoulder. These three fires protect themselves and prevent the ghost from getting close.

If someone looks back while walking, especially at night, then the two fires on his shoulders will be blown out, thus losing the ability to resist the ghost.

This legend is deeply rooted in Zhao Qian's heart, making him afraid of what terrible things will happen if he looks back.

He bit his lips tightly and tried to control his body, but the power of fear was too strong, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Now no matter what he said, he couldn't look back, and if he looked back, it was equivalent to blowing out a fire on his shoulder.

The more he thought about it, the more scared Zhao Qian was, but he knew that he must not look back now.

Once he looked back, it was like extinguishing a fire on his shoulder with his own hands. If all three fires were extinguished, then death would probably not be far away.

The old people often said that if you feel someone is following you from behind, or hear someone calling you, don't look back rashly. Either pretend not to hear and continue to move forward, or simply turn around.

At this moment, Zhao Qian looked at the backs of Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong in front of him, his body trembling slightly, and finally stopped.

He couldn't stand this fear, so he decided to call Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong to let them see what was behind him.

Suddenly, as if due to excessive tension, a torch in Zhao Qian's arms slipped off accidentally.

Zhao Qian suppressed his inner fear and acted normal, but his voice couldn't stop trembling as he shouted to the two people in front of him: "Zhao... Zhao Shuang!? Tong... Sister Tong!? The torch fell, please help me pick it up."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong, who were walking in front, turned their heads, with a trace of speechlessness and helplessness on their faces. They first looked around vigilantly, and finally their eyes fell on Zhao Qian behind them.

Zhao Qian was sweating profusely at this time, and his face was pale and a little scary.

Tong Tong walked forward, bent down to pick up the torch on the ground, and then asked with concern: "Do you want us to help you get some things?"

Zhao Qian tried to squeeze out a smile, but that smile looked uglier than crying.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his shoulder, carefully observed the expressions of Tong Tong and Zhao Shuang, and after confirming that they did not show any abnormality, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "No, thank you. I just accidentally slipped my hand just now."

Zhao Shuang looked at Zhao Qian's sweaty and pale face, frowned, and asked uncertainly, "Is it really okay? If you think it's too heavy, we can help you share some of it."

Zhao Qian forced a smile, hugged the torch in his arms tightly, shook his head and said, "It's really okay, I can do it myself."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong looked at each other and nodded silently. Then, they continued to move forward, heading towards the direction of the cave.

At this moment, Zhao Shuang and Tong Tong were also filled with fear.Fearful, the two tightly grasped the torches in their hands, their slightly trembling hands revealing their inner uneasiness.

Watching the two women continue to walk along the path, Zhao Qian felt a little scared, but the strange feeling suddenly disappeared.

His eyes rolled around, and after vigilantly observing both sides, he carefully followed the two women, almost sticking to them.

The three of them walked along the path, and after about ten minutes, they finally came to the cave that Zhang Yuan mentioned.

However, when they saw the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned - there was a row of offerings in front of the cave, and the most conspicuous one was a bright red sedan chair!

This strange scene made Zhao Shuang feel weak in her legs and her body trembled involuntarily. She tightly grasped Tong Tong's clothes and hid behind Tong Tong tremblingly, not daring to look up and look straight ahead.

Tong Tong's face also turned extremely pale, and her eyes were fixed on the red sedan chair, her eyes filled with endless fear.

Zhao Qian was so frightened that he trembled all over, and the torch in his hand almost fell to the ground. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the panic in his heart became stronger.

"I...should we go in?" Zhao Shuang's voice was a little crying, mixed with undisguised fear. Her body kept shaking, as if she would collapse at any time.

Zhao Qian swallowed hard, his eyes swept back and forth between the red sedan chair and the dark cave, his heart full of anxiety and hesitation.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to suggest: "Or, should we...should we go back? It's too scary here, there might be some danger..."
