Nan Nian was not surprised by Lin Zhifeng's answer.

After such an interlude, the two continued walking towards the village.

Suddenly, both of them stopped in their tracks.

There is fire.

After looking at each other, the two cautiously approached the fire behind the woods.

Under the dark night, the thick tree trunks that had grown for hundreds of years successfully hid the figures of Nan Nian and Lin Zhifeng.

If he hadn't seen the fire, Nan Nian wouldn't have known that there was an open space in this leafy forest.

In the open space, Xiu'er was quietly burning paper money with her eyes lowered, completely unaware that there were two pairs of eyes watching not far away.

Who is she honoring?

her father!

Apart from this candidate, Nan Nian couldn't think of anyone else who would allow Xiu'er to secretly burn paper money in the middle of the night.

Nan Nian and the others arrived late, and Xiuer left directly after paying homage.

After Xiu'er's figure completely disappeared, Nan Nian and Lin Zhifeng walked out from behind the tree trunk.

Looking at the ashes not far away from his feet, Nan Nian puffed up his cheeks and looked up at Lin Zhifeng, "I... have another idea."

Seeing Nan Nian's intention, Lin Zhifeng nodded, "Then dig."

Yes, Nan Nian plans to dig up this vacant land.

Xiu'er couldn't just find a random place to burn paper. There must be some unknown secrets hidden in this open space.

Ever since, the two started digging holes for the second time tonight.

Compared with Lin Youhai's grave that was dug just now, this open space is not very easy to dig. The soil here should not have been disturbed for a while.

Finally, when Nan Nian and Lin Zhifeng dug almost as deep as one person, they found something.

"Is this...a jar?"

After removing some dirt from the lid of the jar, Nan Nian stretched out his hand and knocked it, and heard that it was not full yet.

Not only that, there was more than one jar in this clearing, but jars one after another closely together.

Each jar is half a person tall.

Why are there so many jars buried here?

Thinking of Xiu'er's act of paying homage here, Nan Nian frowned a little, reached out and opened one of the jars.

A rotten and pungent smell hit their faces, and the faces of Nan Nian and Lin Zhifeng changed.

After calming down for a while, Nan Nian put his hand into the jar expressionlessly.

Nan Nian felt that she touched something round and smooth. She slowly stretched out her hand. What Nan Nian touched was a——

Skull!

This jar actually contains human bones!

Not only this one jar was like this, Nan Nian and Lin Zhifeng opened five or six jars in succession, and every jar was full of it!

Not a corpse, no rotten flesh and blood, only bones that are either still hard or have become loose.

Some of the bones here are intact, some have been broken due to unknown reasons, and some have even been turned into fragments.

It turns out that every jar here contains the bones of a person.

Nan Nian looked at the clearing in the forest. If there were all such big jars, the bones of more than a hundred people would be buried in this clearing!

"So, Xiu'er's father is in these jars." Lin Zhifeng said.

Nan Nian nodded, his expression a little cold, and he put the skull in his hand back into the jar. His tone was unclear, "There are really a lot of secrets in your village."

Hearing this, Lin Zhifeng didn't say much, but quietly resumed the scene with Nan Nian.

You can't let others know that they are digging holes everywhere, right?
