Shi Yan looked at the skull fossil he had just dug out in his hand, and looked back at Lin Ran with some concern.

He didn't rush to give it to Lin Ran, but continued to dig everywhere he could. After making sure that he couldn't find anything else, he wiped the mud off the fossil in the firelight and handed it to Lin Ran.

"I only dug this up. I don't know if it's what you're looking for."

Lin Ran stared at the skull fossil in Shi Yan's hand with tears in her eyes. When she saw the jade pendant inside, her eyes finally focused for a moment.

She took 'Grandfather' with shaking hands.

Yes, Lin Ran has recognized that this is the remains of his grandfather.

Because the white jade in his mouth is the symbol of the Shen family's status.

There is a word "Chen" carved on it by a famous artist.

She also has a jade pendant like this one, which is currently stored in her space.

Lin Ran kept wiping with a handkerchief. She knew that her grandfather loved cleanliness and would definitely not accept her dirty appearance.

But the more Lin Ran wiped her tears, the more they flowed.

Large drops of water rolled down the fossilized skull, washing it even cleaner.

She had finally gotten over the pain of losing her mother and grandfather in her previous life, but she didn't expect to experience it all over again in this life.

Not only that, what made her most sad was that her grandfather, whom she thought had rested in peace, suddenly appeared here.

Not only was the mausoleum gone, but even the bones were incomplete. How could she accept this!

Seeing that Lin Ran was about to faint from crying, Shi Yan's dark eyes were full of anxiety. He was a little at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.

Just now when he was cleaning the skull fossil, he saw the word "Chen" engraved on the piece of mutton-fat white jade inside in the light of the fire.

Combined with the fact that Lin Ran's maternal family name is Chen.

This made him suspect that the deceased might be a relative of Lin Ran's maternal family.

Seeing Lin Ran crying like this, it was estimated that even if he was not her biological grandfather, he was at least a very close elder.

But the skull is almost fossilized, which means the deceased has been dead for decades, hundreds of years or even longer.

Lin Ran is only seventeen years old now. How did she know about this relative?

Shi Yan had too many questions in his mind, but he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

And even if he asked, Lin Ran probably wouldn't answer him.

At this moment, he just wanted to be with Lin Ran. Since he couldn't comfort her, he might as well let her cry her heart out.

Fortunately, Lin Ran still remembered their current situation, so she didn't have much time to feel sad.

Looking at the remaining bones of her grandfather in her hands, she could only comfort herself in her heart.

Maybe my grandfather was afraid that I would be lonely in this life, so he came to accompany me.

Moreover, there is no one left in the Shen family from the previous life, and no one burns incense and kowtows to my grandfather during the holidays.

So is it because my grandfather is too lonely that he comes to find me?

This way, I can burn incense for him and chat with him every day.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran felt much better.

She had already planned to bury her grandfather in the space when she returned.

I believe there is no better feng shui than in space.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran wiped away her tears and gently wrapped the corpse with a handkerchief.

She glanced again at the place where her grandfather's remains had just been dug out, with hesitation in her eyes.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Shi Yan had to speak up to break her fantasy.

"I've dug all over that place, and I haven't found anything except this one."

"I think this body has a long history. It has probably experienced crustal movement. It should be impossible to find it."

In fact, Lin Ran knew this fact better than him.

After all, it has been thousands of years, and it is not easy to preserve this piece. She should not be greedy anymore.

Therefore, she quickly looked away.

However, she did not answer Shi Yan's words. She was very grateful to Shi Yan for helping her find her grandfather's remains, so she did not want to lie to him.

At this moment, she just wanted to go back quickly and bury her grandfather.

But now she had to deal with one thing first.

Lin Ran glanced at the Four Sheep Square Tripod who was standing quietly beside him, then turned to look at Shi Yan seriously, with a pleading look on his face:

"Shi Zhiqing, can I ask you for a favor? Please don't report this place, including this Four-Ram Square Tripod. This is a burial object for our Shen family's ancestors. I want to rebury them properly."

She knew that the Four-Ram Square Tripod was a very precious cultural relic today, and if anyone found it, they would definitely hand it over to the country.

She also knew that Shi Yan wanted to return to the city. If he reported the news, he might get the chance to return to the city.

But this was the only remaining burial object of her grandfather. Forgive her selfishness, she couldn't let Shi Yan tell anyone.

Shi Yan was shocked when he saw Lin Ran’s serious expression and thought she was going to say something important.

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, since this Four Sheep Square Tripod belongs to your Shen family, you have the final say. I didn't see anything today."

"Thank you so much, especially for finding my ancestral remains. I will definitely repay you!"

After getting Shi Yan's assurance, Lin Ran finally put his mind at ease and made a promise immediately.

She was not an ungrateful person, and she sincerely wanted to thank Shi Yan at this moment.

And I already have an idea in mind.

Shi Yan didn't take it seriously. He was only concerned about how to deal with these two things.

"How are you going to take the things back?"

Lin Ran shook her head.

"No need to bring it back, just bury it right here. Since our ancestor was originally buried here, let him continue to rest here."

As she said that, she placed her grandfather's remains and the Four Sheep Square Tripod into the big pit that Shi Yan had dug earlier, and then slowly buried them.

Lin Ran naturally didn't really want to bury her grandfather here, but it was difficult for her to take these two things back with her now.

So she could only say sorry to Shi Yan, and when she was about to bury her grandfather completely in the ground, she secretly transferred everything into the space at an angle where Shi Yan could not see.

Fortunately, the light inside the cave was poor, and Lin Ran had almost buried it, so Shi Yan didn't notice that the things in the pit were gone.

At this moment, he was concentrating on digging the soil needed for Lin Ran to bury the pit and putting it next to her.

This made Lin Ran feel extremely guilty.

Lin Ran finally stopped until a small mound of earth formed in front of him.

She kowtowed three more times in front of the mound.

Anyway, this was once my grandfather's tomb.

Now that her grandfather's body has been taken away by herself, she probably won't have the chance to come here again in the future.

After Lin Ran stood up, he called out to Shi Yan:

"We've been delayed for so long, let's get out of here."

"Coming right up."

Before Lin Ran could ask, she saw Shi Yan kneeling in front of the grave.

This kneeling made Lin Ran subconsciously clench her handkerchief, and her hard heart seemed to soften a corner.

But Shi Yan was unaware of anything. He kowtowed three times in a row, and only realized that Lin Ran had been staring at him after he stood up.

He explained with a somewhat uneasy look:

"The dead are great, this is what I should do."

As their eyes met, it seemed as if something was quietly changing.
