Despite the freezing cold, her body did not decay. Her limbs were as hard as ice, and her exposed skin was blue-black. The dehydrated skin was tightly attached to her bones, exactly like the maid who was sucked dry by Qiu Niang that day.
Su Man's heart was pounding as if it was going to break her chest. She forced herself to open the second black jar, which also contained a woman's corpse.
One after another.
The four jars were facing upwards, and there was a female corpse in each of them.
Su Man tried to calm herself down and think calmly.
Could these be the people Qiu Niang had killed? Then why would the villagers here put their bodies in a vat and place them in front of their houses?
What kind of village is Wuyou Village?

On the way back, Su Man was distracted and tripped and almost fell.
Su Man held onto the earthen wall and looked at the ground.
What tripped her was a cut-down tree. Snow had fallen on the round stump, and if she hadn't tripped, she wouldn't have noticed.
Su Man was about to continue walking back when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She squatted on the ground and looked carefully, and found that it was an old tree with tangled roots extending in all directions.
Why was it cut down for no reason?
However, a few steps away, there is a locust tree. Judging from its thickness, it has not been planted for a long time.
It's not just this one. All the trees in the village are either willows or locust trees. These are trees with extremely strong yin energy. If they come across a particular family, they will be cut down. But why does Wuyou Village do the opposite?
Once the seeds of doubt emerge, you will find that everything around you is so suspicious.
For example, you can often see half-broken stone tablets in the village, as well as roofs of various shapes in the village.
An idea slowly formed in Su Man's mind. After returning, she immediately took out a pen and paper and drew a simple map of the village according to her memory, marking the locations of the trees and stone tablets.
When she finished the last stroke, she found that it was an extremely strange totem.
It’s a pity that Su Man didn’t understand the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements, and she couldn’t understand it after looking at it for a long time. If it were Xu Yuan, he would definitely understand it.
