Chapter 28: Choosing the Way
"You're doubting me!" Mr. Jin's face became solemn, and he forgot to step on the cigarette butt when it fell on the ground.
"There doesn't seem to be any problems here." Xu Tian shines on the wreaths and paper figures on both sides. "It's like you've laid out a path for us to walk in."
"You mean this is not the realm of the Grave of the Dead?" Teacher Jin said.
"This is just my speculation, if it is really the grave of the dead, then according to the background described by Lao Gao, it is impossible for the people in the village to come to worship the soul of the grave of the dead, if as Ying Feng just said, she is guarding the grave of the dead, then who can guarantee that no villagers will break into the forest? If someone worships the grave of the dead is discovered by the villagers, there will definitely be a big incident, and the villagers will definitely not spare Yingfeng and her father. Xu Tian said.
"You still have a lot of truth in saying that, but you still can't solve the mystery here." Teacher Jin said.
"That has to be investigated to know, anyway, I think this place that we think is a dead man's grave is a little weird, the villagers are so afraid of the dead man's grave, no one will ever come close here, it is impossible for any villagers to dare to come here to worship the dead man's grave, those villagers are at most just to the end of the path, even if there are casualties in the forest, they are not willing to go into the forest, this is not like pretending." Xu Tian said.
"Regardless of whether this is really a dead grave or not, Yingfeng died in front of us, and now our top priority is to find out how Yingfeng appeared at the place of death." Teacher Jin said.
"I haven't figured out how Yingfeng managed to do this, but I'll find out soon." Xu Tian said with conviction.
Teacher Jin had some difficulty walking with Yingfeng on his back, and he couldn't keep up with Xu Tian's pace, and after walking for a while, Xu Tian had already pulled Teacher Jin a few meters away.
"Slow down, don't get separated." Teacher Jin shouted.
Xu Tian looked around again, but still did not step out of the realm of wreaths and paper figures.
"It's strange, is it that long?" Xu Tian looked at his phone, good guy! It was already half past one in the morning.
In the cold night, Xu Tian was already sweating profusely.
"There's nothing strange about it, it's such a long road, you didn't pay much attention when you came, did you?" Teacher Jin said.
"Really? Possibly! Xu Tian said casually.
After walking for a while, Xu Tian saw the forest, and a little further ahead was the old house, but at this time, Mr. Jin didn't want to go any further.
"Wait a minute, if you have anything to say now, let's say it here! This road is so difficult to walk, we finally walked to the grave of the dead, and now we are walking back, and if we continue to toss like this, it will be dawn later. Teacher Jin said.
"I want to try to go in other directions, this side doesn't look like a dead man's grave, except for the wreaths and paper figures around it, there is nothing else, especially those two stone statues, they can't be faker." Xu Tian said.
"I agree with you on this point, it stands to reason that the Dead Man's Grave should be overgrown with weeds to be reasonable, and the Dead Man's Grave should have some iconic hints, and it is definitely not a small stone pillar with the word Dead Man's Grave written on it." Teacher Jin said.
"I suggest that we go to the back of the old house to look for it, just now I remembered that Lao Gao turned around and ran after hearing the old house and the old man asking for directions, there must be an article in it." Xu Tian said.
