I saw my mother squatting on the ground, her eyes fixed on Second Uncle's head.
She mumbled, "Field Snail... Big Snail..."
Aunt was startled and quickly asked my mother, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Doesn’t Second Uncle’s head look like a Big Snail?" my mother replied with a laugh.
Aunt was taken aback. "Have you lost your mind?"
Three Grandmothers glanced at her but remained silent.
At that moment, Corpse Retriever had already entered the water.
He approached Grandma and was about to reach out to pull the body.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he hurriedly ran out of the water.
"What happened?" Three Grandmothers asked.
Corpse Retriever didn’t answer her but turned to look at the crowd of onlookers.
"Did anyone see anything?"
The villagers all looked bewildered.
"See what?"
"Nothing at all."
Corpse Retriever said in confusion, "Then how could this happen?"
Some bolder villagers gathered by the Pond to watch.
As the incense for summoning the spirit could not be lit, murmurs began to spread through the crowd.
"The Wang Family has done so many evil deeds; this is their retribution!"
"Indeed, their family has been living too well these past few years."
"I heard that the old lady wore a red wedding dress before she died!"
"She must have been cursed!"
"They deserve it!"
Old Lady Li spread her discontent among the villagers, saying, "The Wang Family has done too many evil deeds! Back in the day, my daughter…"
Despite the harsh words from the onlookers, the Wang Family paid them no mind.
Their attention was entirely captured by the reaction of the Old Man.
He had clearly seen something just moments ago.
But what could possibly leave him speechless?
Could there be something beneath the bodies?
Everyone harbored such doubts in their hearts.
Yet, none dared to voice them.
The Old Man had been commissioned by the Wang Family to retrieve two bodies from the water.
However, the bodies were unusual, and they were afraid to take action.
The Three Grandmothers insisted that they must complete the task.
But the Old Man refused to proceed.
They believed that the Field Snails on the bodies were still alive.
That was their rule.
The Field Snail is alive, which indicates that the person is still alive.
However, everyone knows that the two corpses have been dead for quite some time.
Corpse Retriever and his master, after multiple failed attempts, ultimately chose to leave.
The Three Grandmothers looked extremely grim.
She informed the Wang Family that Corpse Retriever had already departed.
Only one last chance remained.
That is, noon tomorrow.
If they cannot find a new Corpse Retriever, they will have to retrieve the bodies themselves.
The Wang Family began to consider this possibility.
Meanwhile, the younger aunt and Aunt seemed to firmly believe in the Old Man's words.
They thought there was truth in what the Old Man said.
Because the Three Grandmothers had not clearly explained why Field Snails were growing on the corpses.
Han Wa felt curious about the unusual situation in the Pond.
He noticed the foul fishy smell wafting from the Pond.
This reminded him of the Field Snails in Rice Person's bucket from before.
The Three Grandmothers asked Han Wa if he had really seen Field Snails in the bucket.
Although Han Wa was uncertain, he still insisted on his intuition.
The Three Grandmothers frowned slightly and did not say much more.
She reminded Han Wa that he must keep a close watch on his mother tonight.
She warned him not to leave the bell behind.
However, Han Wa's bell was already damaged.
This made the warning from Three Grandmothers seem impossible to enforce.
Upon hearing Three Grandmothers' warning, Aunt immediately pulled Han Wa away.
She seemed to take Three Grandmothers' words very seriously.
Three Grandmothers watched the retreating figures, a flicker of barely perceptible light flashing in her eyes.
She murmured to herself, "Could I have guessed wrong?"
"That can't be!"
"Based on the previous clues, it must be Borrowing Lifespan."
"But this time, the people from Borrowing Lifespan are different from last time. Who could it be?"
Three Grandmothers fell into deep thought.
She was unaware that her moment of loss of composure had been noticed by the Wang Family.
Especially Aunt and the younger aunt, their trust in Three Grandmothers had begun to waver.
