The Old Man furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Aside from Resentful Corpse, there are others who want you dead!"
The younger aunt hurriedly replied, "I didn't know Second Brother would come looking for me because I didn't participate in harming him!"
The Old Man snorted coldly, "You didn't harm Second Brother, but you used Resentful Bell to gather malevolent energy and led Resentful Corpse with a bell!
"You wanted to use Resentful Corpse's hand to kill your own kin.
"What exactly are you after?"
Upon hearing this, the younger aunt was momentarily stunned.
"I... I didn't!"
The Old Man scoffed, "Do you still want to deny it?"
The younger aunt pleaded anxiously, "I really didn't!
"I just thought what the Three Grandmothers said made sense; Resentful Corpse needs Borrowing Lifespan to come ashore.
"But I had no idea Second Brother's ghost would come looking for me!"
The Old Man shook his head slightly. "I don't know why you did this, but I know you did!"
The Three Grandmothers looked at the Old Man and said coldly, "Do you think that by exposing her, you can save the Wang Family?
"I tell you, today the Wang Family is doomed without a doubt!"
Hearing this, the younger aunt retorted angrily, "Three Grandmothers, our Wang Family has no grievances with you. Why repay kindness with enmity?"
The Three Grandmothers snorted coldly. "No grievances?
"Hmph! My son went missing seven years ago, and all our wealth was lost!"
"Do you think I have a grudge?"
Upon hearing this, the young aunt was momentarily speechless.
She certainly knew what had happened to the son of the Three Grandmothers.
But she couldn't say anything.
The Old Man did not respond directly to the Three Grandmothers.
He threw the bucket he was holding into the Pond.
The bucket seemed to come alive, drifting straight toward the grandmother's corpse.
Then, the Old Man poured the Black Dog Blood onto the scarf that the grandmother often used.
He looked at his cousin and said, "I can ensure your family rests in peace, but you must promise me one thing."
The cousin hurriedly replied, "What is it?"
The Old Man said, "You must help me find what your father hid all those years ago!"
The cousin was taken aback and replied, "I don’t know where my dad hid it."
The Old Man snorted coldly, "I can find it myself!"
The cousin nodded, "Alright, search as you wish!"
The Old Man nodded back and turned to wade into the water.
He tied the scarf around the grandmother's eyes.
Then, she murmured something to the bodies of Grandmother and Second Uncle.
Next, she gently tugged.
The two corpses of Upright Corpse slowly lay flat.
The Old Man turned and walked towards the edge of the Pond.
The bodies and the wooden bucket followed him back.
Seeing this, the Three Grandmothers let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.
The younger aunt quickly blocked the Three Grandmothers, saying, "You can't leave!"
The Three Grandmothers looked at her and replied coldly, "I can't leave?"
The younger aunt retorted angrily, "You caused the deaths of so many people, and you still want to just walk away?"
The Three Grandmothers scoffed, "I harmed you?
"Pah! It's Resentful Corpse causing trouble; I am powerless to harm anyone!"
The younger aunt trembled with rage, "You..."
The Three Grandmothers pushed past her and walked away without a second glance.
As she left, she cast a meaningful glance at me.
I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.
It was as if I had been targeted by a ghost.
I hurriedly turned to Mother and, just like when I was a child, threw myself into her embrace.
"Mother, I'm scared!"
She gently stroked my head and patted my shoulder, just like she used to.
The Old Man successfully prepared the bodies of the Wang family's relatives for burial.
In the courtyard, five coffins were arranged.
One of them belonged to Wang Zhiming.
Inside was a bucket containing the Field Snail.
My cousin numbly burned paper money.
My aunt, under the Old Man's guidance, rummaged through the house.
Eventually, she found several vases and plates under the bed.
These were clearly valuables hidden by Wang Zhiming.
The Old Man's eyes lit up as he looked at these items.
After properly arranging them, he began setting up a table in front of the coffin.
Then, he directed the Wang family to commence the funeral.
