When Feng Yuanlin followed Shuyan back to their accommodations, he still wasn't sure if Shuyan had been joking about 'dead people.' He thought of how they had interacted with many of the people in the village before, and they all seemed very normal. How could they be dead?
Feng Yuanlin was flustered at the thought of this possibility.
Feng Yuanlin didn't say another word on the way back. He did want to ask, but when he thought of Shuyan's 'joke,' his heart turned cold.
Coincidentally, just as the two returned to their accommodations, someone came over on Village Chief Pan's behalf to remind them that they had to invite in the True Buddha Lord before tomorrow morning. After a pause, he said that it would be best if they could do it tonight.
