The journey down the mountain should have been peaceful, but an unexpected event occurred as Xu Yuxiu passed a graveyard.
This graveyard was situated on the lower slopes of the mountain, about a mile away from a small village nestled at the base.
As Xu Yuxiu reached the graveyard, her eyes were met with numerous mounds of various sizes and heights scattered across the terrain. Some of these graves had a simple wooden board erected at the front to serve as a tombstone, marking the identity of the person buried beneath. On other graves, such wooden boards had long since decayed, the characters upon them faded and illegible, bearing witness to the passage of many years.
