"Shall we... dig?"
Mi Yesi looked at Ji Qian and asked, but Ji Qian swallowed and did not answer.
Han Mengyao's decisive voice came from the side: "Hey, we've come this far, we should at least see what's inside!"
Before anyone could speak, Xu Qi turned around and ran to the front yard, returning shortly with a large handful of shovels.
He handed the shovel to everyone, then said, "I'll go see if I have any other tools," and ran off again.
"He... ran away, didn't he?" Ying Xu asked, holding a shovel in his arms, looking puzzled.
The others, who were studying the soil, answered in unison without even looking up, "Yes!"
[Hilarious! What kind of image does Xu Qi have in your eyes?]
[This is the first time I've seen a male celebrity with this kind of persona, I'm in love!]
[Any of you sisters in Xu Qi's live stream, can you tell me where he went?]
I know he's chatting with Old Li in the kitchen!
Xu Qi, a Chinese princess on the run.
[Hahahaha, they really are on the run, they've been running all along]
Xu Qi is weak and helpless, but a true hero.
Since they didn't know the exact location of the underground remains, Ji Qian and the others didn't dare to make any big moves and could only carefully dig at the soil surface with shovels.
As the soil layer gradually thinned, they actually discovered quite a few things, but they were probably not what they had expected.
Although none of Ji Qian and his companions had any medical knowledge, they could tell that the bones in the soil did not belong to just one person, since they had dug out three or four skulls alone.
"Were they all buried alive?" Han Mengyao was increasingly horrified as she dug, and couldn't help but ask.
Ji Qian was practically out of her body at this point, unable to hear anything anyone was saying. However, Ying Xu, standing nearby, answered Han Mengyao's question:
"It shouldn't be all of them. I just saw a skull with a crack, so it was probably caused by external injuries."
"Yes, the rib I just found also has knife marks on it."
"The remains of the Qian family...could they all be here?"
"It shouldn't be... right?"
"Ji Qian, did you see anything?"
Han Mengyao looked up at Ji Qian. Ji Qian felt a bit nauseous at the sight of so many skeletons. After a while, she answered Han Mengyao's question: "No, the souls of these skeletons are not here."
"Not here, what do you mean?" Han Mengyao keenly sensed the unfinished meaning in Ji Qian's words.
“Hmm,” Ji Qian confirmed Han Mengyao’s guess: “Let’s dig them all out first. Aren’t there three members of the Qian family in the front yard? We’ll find them to identify the bodies later.”
Although there are many skeletons here, most of them are buried in one place, so the workload is not large. However, it only took about half an hour to dig out thirteen skeletons.
"Is that all?" Zhao Chengyuan wiped the sweat from his brow. For someone his age, today's exercise was definitely too much.
"Eleven, twelve, thirteen! All of them are there, all the parts have thirteen pieces!" Ying Xu and Mi Yesi were squatting on the ground, counting the bones one by one, holding the skeletal structure diagram given to them by the production team.
Han Mengyao was also exhausted. She leaned against the edge of the pit, her snow-white shirt covered in mud: "Should we call that family of three over now?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go call them!" Mi Yesi, who felt she had done the least work, hurriedly ran to the front yard. Ji Qian called out from behind, "Bring the other three along too!"
Miyesi acted quickly, and soon brought all five ghosts over, along with Xu Qi, who was bound to the scarecrow.
Seeing Xu Qi walking at the back of the ghost group, Han Mengyao couldn't help but tease him, "Congratulations, you've made it to the most important part."
[Haha, Sister Meng, you really know how to hurt someone!]
Xu Qi tried to escape for a day, but in the end, he couldn't escape.
I have a feeling that what's coming next will be the most terrifying thing of the day.
I agree; after all, Xu Qi has had some bad luck.
[Xu Qi: Cursing and swearing]
Ji Qian took out the straw that was hidden in Xu Qi's pocket and held it in her hand, then called the other five ghosts to the pit they had dug.
Ji Qian pointed to the thirteen neatly arranged skeletons in the pit and asked, "Can you find your own remains?"
"My body has probably already been cremated and buried, right?"
Dahai, the only modern ghost king among the ghosts, was completely bewildered, unaware of the profound shock his words had caused to the other ghosts around him.
"Fire, cremation?!" Old Master Qian, unusually flustered, exclaimed, "Is it the cremation I'm thinking of?"
Wang Dahai hadn't reacted yet, and was still explaining earnestly, "Ah, it means putting the body into a furnace to burn it to ashes, and then putting it in an urn for burial."
"Isn't that just turning bones to ashes?!" Madam Qian was also agitated upon hearing this.
Chunhua, standing next to Wang Dahai, looked over with teary eyes: "Brother Dahai, are you in pain?"
Wang Dahai finally realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "No, that's how it is now. The country promotes cremation, saying it helps save land resources and protect the ecological environment. Oh, and I heard it can also..."
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!"
Seeing that it was about to turn into a large-scale science popularization event, Ji Qian quickly interrupted Wang Dahai, pointing to the pit again:
"Except for Wang Dahai, please claim your own bodies so we can arrange for their burial."
"Burial? It won't be by fire either..."
"I'll apply for traditional burial for you! Hurry down and look for it!!!"
Although Ji Qian didn't know if the application would be successful, the most urgent task was to find the owners of these remains as soon as possible.
