Led by the matchmaker, everyone came to a red courtyard. According to Lu Tao, this house should be the wedding room of the bride and groom after their wedding.

The vermilion door was closed tightly, and two ferocious stone lions stood on both sides of the door. Two huge red lanterns were hung on the eaves of the door.

The matchmaker came to the door, put down the black wooden box in her hand, and then stood still, motionless, and everyone felt a little confused.

"Why doesn't the matchmaker leave? How can we get in?" Helen asked.

The other foreigners also became panicked. According to Lu Tao's previous analysis, the courtyard was the core spiritual place of the bride, and going in could help them get through the night.

If they couldn't get in, they would all die here when the night came.

"Maybe the conditions for opening the door were not met." Lu Tao analyzed, looking at the dark wooden box on the ground.

"Conditions? What do you mean? Do we need to find a key or something?" John asked puzzled.

"No, it shouldn't be the key. Look at the wooden box on the ground. It contains the bride's arm. Maybe we need to find other parts of the bride to open this door." Lu Tao analyzed.

Others thought it made sense.

"That is to say, other parts of the bride's body may be scattered in other corners of the village. We must find them?" Helen quickly understood what he meant, but she was also a little worried.

"But how do we know where the other parts of the bride are? Do we have to search the whole village?"

Lu Tao shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless:

"There is no way. Take advantage of the daytime just now and find it as soon as possible!"

"That's the only way." Everyone had to accept this fact and divided into several groups to search for the bride's body.

In the end, only Jiang Yan and Zhao Qing were left.

"Jiang Yan, do we have to look for it too?" Zhao Qing asked.

Jiang Yan nodded. He couldn't think of a better way. Now he could only search in a carpet-like manner, and he had to find them all before dark.

"Where should we go first?"

"Let's go to the yard first. There seem to be many black boxes there."

Jiang Yan remembered the farmyard mentioned by Gu Qingfeng before. They wanted to find the red box there before, but they returned empty-handed.

But he also remembered that there seemed to be some black boxes in that place.

Without delay, he took Zhao Qing to the farmyard with ease.

After a night, there was no change in this farmyard, and there were no footprints of nightmares on the ground, indicating that there was no nightmare hidden here.

Jiang Yan walked in slowly with a butcher knife in one hand and Wu Ge's head in the other.

In the lobby, the black and white portrait of Qi Tianming was quietly hanging in the center, still sleeping with his eyes closed.

It seemed that so many nightmares were rampant in the village last night, but he didn't wake him up.

On the altar, the small dish of lychees was still quietly placed, untouched.

Jiang Yan didn't dare to stay in the living room for too long, and quickly entered the master bedroom next to him to start searching.

There were indeed many black objects in the master bedroom. The very old dressing table and wardrobe were also black, and there were many sundries inside.

He rummaged around and soon found a black wooden box, which was a bit large and stood up to his waist.

"It might be a leg or an upper body." Jiang Yan guessed, but he didn't dare to open it, and he didn't know if he had the ability to open it.

"Is this the thing?" Zhao Qing asked curiously with big eyes.

"It can't be wrong. This rough black surface and the strange smell it exudes are very similar to the wooden box in the matchmaker's hand." Jiang Yan believed in his judgment.

After finding the black wooden box, he didn't dare to delay and quickly left the courtyard.

Before leaving, he glanced at the black and white portrait to confirm that Qi Tianming inside was still sleeping.

However, when he left, Wu Ge's head in his hand suddenly opened his left eye, and it was strangely all black.

But the eye closed quickly, and Jiang Yan didn't notice the short-term change of the head.

The two returned to the courtyard and found that Lu Tao had also returned with Helen. They also had a black wooden box in their hands.

"Very efficient." Jiang Yan glanced at him and said.

"Humph, it's just luck. This woman also remembered something similar when she was exploring the village before." Lu Tao attributed the reason to Helen beside him.

"The size of your box looks like it should be the upper body, right?" Jiang Yan glanced at the box Lu Tao brought back. The box was a little shorter and much wider than his, so he judged it to be the upper body of the bride.

"That should be the case. Your box contains a leg." LuTao said.

"Now we have an arm, a leg and the upper body, and we still need three boxes. Let's keep looking." Jiang Yan said and turned away.

Lu Tao did not dare to delay and set off again.

Other foreigners were also looking around the village. Knowing the approximate size of the box, it was much easier to find.

At noon, everyone gathered together. John and others found another leg, so now there was only one arm and the bride's head left.

"Keep looking. The remaining two boxes are a bit small. Look carefully." Lu Tao said in a serious tone.

Everyone set off again without delay.

In the evening, it was already a little dark. At this time, Ron finally found another arm.

But the bride's head was still not found, and everyone was immediately anxious.

It was about to get dark. If they didn't find all the parts of the bride's body, they would not be able to enter the courtyard.

"What should we do? It's almost too late!" Helen said nervously.

Ron pushed the vermilion door hard and found that it didn't move at all. It seemed that they had to collect all the parts to open the door.

The box containing the bride's head was relatively small, and it was very troublesome to find it. The remaining time was definitely not enough for them to find it.

"How about we climb over the wall?" John suddenly had a bold idea.

Ron suddenly realized it after hearing it, and immediately climbed over the wall. He was agile and climbed over in two or three steps.

But after landing, he was shocked, and everyone looked at him like a fool.

"What's going on? I clearly remember climbing over it, why am I back again?" He was confused.

"Don't take shortcuts. If we can't find the bride's head, we can't get in." Lu Tao said in a serious tone.

Everyone was a little disappointed after hearing it.

At the same time, they couldn't figure it out. They had searched almost all over the village, but still couldn't find the bride's head. Where would it be?

At this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something. There was a dry well where he got the rope before. For some reason, he always felt that the bride's head would be in there.

Without hesitation, he immediately set out to the dry well...
