As Li Mai spoke, he picked up a sickle from the side, stepped back a little, reached out, and slowly lifted the lid of the jar.
There was something binding it on the outside, but they've already removed it.
As the lid of the jar fell to the ground, the mouth of the jar remained still, indicating that no living creature was trapped inside.
Li Mai felt that even if someone did exist, they should be dead by now!
“Xiaomai, does this mean everything is alright?” Old Zhou asked.
Li Mai nodded. "It should be alright now."
She slowly approached and saw a letter placed on the opening of the jar.
Huh, a letter?
Li Mai leaned closer and smelled it. There was no strange odor, so it should be non-toxic. She reached out and picked up the letter.
"To be opened by a descendant of the Zhou family." She read the words on the envelope and handed it to Old Man Zhou.

In the end, he was also beaten, had his legs broken, and was thrown out.
Fortunately, he was rescued by some young people from Zhoujia Village, who brought him back to Zhoujia Village to recover from his injuries.

Unfortunately, because of taking him in, the people of Zhoujia Village were divided into two factions. One faction advocated driving him away, believing that the deaths of young people in the village in recent years were related to taking in this unlucky man in distress.
Another group argues that everyone has their difficulties, and perhaps if we do good deeds and help someone in trouble now, our descendants will also encounter kind people to help them when they encounter difficulties in the future!
