CHAPTER 1177: CHAPTER 1176: KILLING 2

Ye Ning: "..."

Originally, the heart that harbored immense hatred for that old lady was, in an instant, like being gripped by an invisible hand, causing such discomfort and dull pain that she could hardly breathe.

What kind of inhumanity is this? Are those people still human? How could they treat an elderly lady nearly seventy years old this way?

Ye Ning recalled the old lady she had met twice a year ago, remembering her appearance at that time...

Yes, when she saw her then, she had found her appearance very strange. Clearly sitting in front of her, yet she couldn’t lift her head, hunched over with her back, head dangling as if weighted, unable to rise.

So, this is the truth of the matter!

Her eyes stung sharply, and finally, she turned to look outside: "Then... what happened next?"

"Afterward, when they died, no one dared to collect the bodies. Even before the incident, there were rumors that the Yan Family’s only daughter had died of illness. With the daughter dead, who would claim their bodies? It was our Yuan Family members who couldn’t bear to see it continue. More than half a month after the incident, seeing that the situation was not as tense, a cousin was sent to quietly find a spot to bury their remains."

"Where were they buried?"

"Where else could it be? It had to be that place. By the time we got there, the bodies had been horribly chewed by wild dogs. We could only gather some bones and one terribly incomplete body. Such a body couldn’t be buried elsewhere... sigh..."

At the end, this person couldn’t help but sigh.

In terms of age, this man should be of Ye Ning’s father’s generation, meaning he was about twenty years old back then, which might explain why he knows so clearly now.

After hearing this, Ye Ning felt another blockage in her heart, a choking discomfort like someone gripping her throat, growing even stronger.

Unable to listen any longer, she suddenly stood up from her chair: "Can you take me to that place now?"

"Huh?" Yuan Zhigang doubted his ears: "Where did you say to go?"

Ye Ning frowned: "The place where your Yuan Family gathered their bodies back then!"

Yuan Zhigang: "..."

Why would someone like Phoenix Blue Ink’s leader want to go to the place where the Yan Family’s old lady and old man’s remains were? What does it have to do with her?

Yuan Zhigang couldn’t quite understand anymore, but he didn’t dare ask further. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded in agreement, leading her out of the teahouse towards the Niuzai Slope area.

In fact, over these years, after earning some money from running this teahouse, Yuan Zhigang had even renovated the grave of the old couple tragically killed in that place. Although it’s not much, at least it doesn’t seem as desolate anymore.

Ye Ning followed out of the teahouse. Seeing the wind and snow intensifying outside, amid the cold, she thought of what she had just heard, wrapped her down jacket tighter, and suddenly paused there: "Is there a place that sells incense nearby?"

"Huh?"

"I want to pay my respects!" she looked down, trying hard not to let him see her expression.
