"Mother, we're almost there." Xue Yuanchu reined in his horse and approached the car window, whispering.
Hong Yingrong nodded slightly and lifted the car curtain to look.
The once neat cemetery on the hillside is now in a mess, with mud and rocks everywhere, and many tombstones leaning to one side or the other.
Servants from several families in the distance were cleaning their ancestral graves, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.
