Chapter 30: The Clearing

"This is it, the ancestral hall is a place to worship the dead, and we saw many urns placed in the ancestral hall during the day, maybe this ancestral hall is the fourth dead man's grave." Xu Tian said.

"But don't you think it's a bit too childish? Setting up four dead man's graves is simply unreasonable, and this is not at all the same as the facts told by Lao Gao. Teacher Jin said suspiciously.

"If Lao Gao doesn't know what the facts are, then it makes sense, whether it's a dead man's grave or an ancestral hall, there must be an indelible connection between them." Xu Tian said.

Xu Tian looked at the time, it was already 4:50 in the morning, and the eastern day was dawning very quickly, if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to enter the ancestral hall to investigate, there would be no chance after dawn.

However, there is still a problem in front of us, there is a hut where the watchman lives inside the gate of the ancestral hall, and it is not easy to enter the ancestral hall through the main entrance.

Neither of them remembered that there were other entrances to the ancestral hall, so if they wanted to go in to investigate, they could only climb over the wall, so Xu Tian and Teacher Jin went around to the backyard wall of the ancestral hall and climbed in.

The location of the landing was very dark, and Xu Tian and Teacher Jin couldn't tell where the landing location was.

"Strange, I think the place where we landed should be the altar in the backyard." Xu Tian shone a flashlight in front of him, but it was completely different from the scene he saw during the day.

"There is a problem with this ancestral hall, and during the day, I feel that the backyard of the ancestral hall is a bit too eye-catching." Teacher Jin said.

"Are you referring to the chairs set up under the altar?" Xu Tian asked.

"In fact, we should have suspected that those chairs, the ancestral hall and the singing opera were linked together to be inconsistent." Teacher Jin said.

"It's true, the ancestral hall is a serious place, it's too difficult to explain this kind of thing in the backyard of the ancestral hall, is it really so simple to sing in the backyard of this ancestral hall?" Xu Tian said.

The two walked forward while analyzing, walking and walking, the flashlight suddenly shone on a wooden door, Xu Tian tried to push it, and the sound of iron chains shaking came from the other side of the wooden door.

"There should be a chain lock on the other side, and our current location should be the backyard of the altar, but this place is so empty, what is it for?" Teacher Jin said.

"The color of the walls is indeed the same as what you see in the backyard of the ancestral hall during the day, I think we should search this backyard carefully, there is no snow here, which means that it has been cleaned, but what is such an empty place used for? Just just fence off this piece of land? It is impossible to keep such an empty backyard so purposelessly. Xu Tian said.

"Then there's only one possibility, do you remember that the three dead man's graves were all open spaces?" Teacher Jin said.

"Could it be that this is the grave of the dead? However, I don't think these four dead people's graves look like places where bones are buried, but rather like they were deliberately fenced off. Xu Tian said.

"There are walls all around, roughly estimated to be about 300 square meters, the soil is hard, there are no traces of digging, and there is no snow here, all the snow that has been swept out has been carried out." Teacher Jin said.

"This shows that the villagers are deliberately protecting the land." Xu Tian said.

While they were talking, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin suddenly heard a sound from the other side of the wooden door, as if something very dull had fallen to the ground.

When Xu Tian and Teacher Jin wanted to climb over the wall, something suddenly slammed into the wooden door, and then another dull sound fell to the ground, and the last sound of falling to the ground was very similar to the sound of someone climbing over the wall and falling to the ground.
