The group held white lanterns, standing within the clearing in the Old Lin.
In this clearing, there were five old tombs, one of which had collapsed. Its tombstone had toppled to the ground, but judging by the traces, this collapse appeared to have occurred recently.
Other than this.
In front of the tombstones of all five tombs, there was a blue-and-white porcelain bowl filled with white rice. The grains of rice were distinct, semi-cooked, neither rotting nor spoiled, and spotless without a speck of dust.
Clearly.
The white rice was an offering prepared for the dead.
Yet now, Yang Jian, Li Yang, Old Eagle, and the others faced the question of how many bowls of white rice they should take today.
Because according to earlier assumptions, the fifth day in the haunted mansion was likely to involve the Ghost Banquet. And the white rice required for the fifth day must be taken today; otherwise, there would be no chance to return here later.
Everyone agreed with this reasoning.
