A hand full of pebbles. When Guo Dong ran back happily, Chen Ran had already walked towards the village.

Guo Dong hurriedly followed him to show Chen Ran the stones he had picked up.

Chen Ran had already seen it. Seeing Guo Dong's eyes sparkling with greed, he deliberately quickened his pace.

The entrance to the village was not far from the yard where they lived. It only took a few minutes to walk back. When Guo Dong caught up with Chen Ran, Chen Ran had already walked to the door of the yard.

Li Zhuofeng happened to be coming out of the village chief's house next door. Seeing the two of them, he quickened his pace, "The village chief asked us to have breakfast at his house." Guo

Dong heard the voice and looked over. Sure enough, the village chief was standing in his cement dam and waving at them. There were two tables on the cement dam, and breakfast was placed on them.

Guo Dong swallowed his saliva unconvincingly. He was hungry.

"What are you doing with two stones?" Li Zhuofeng approached and saw Guo Dong holding a hand full of pebbles, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Guo Dong threw the stone away quickly. "Nothing."

Li Zhuofeng was more and more confused, but now was not the time to dwell on this. He looked at Chen Ran and asked in a low voice, "How is it over there?"

The village chief's new home was a little far from his old yard. As long as he spoke in a low voice here, the village chief would not be able to hear him.

Chen Ran shook his head, "I didn't find it." He looked at Li Zhuofeng again.

Li Zhuofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I found an excuse to go into the house, and I looked around the living room and other rooms, but I didn't see it."

After a pause, Li Zhuofeng added, "He didn't let me into the room where the coffin was placed. His family guarded it very strictly. It seems that he doesn't want us to know about the ghost marriage."

The people in this village are not unaware that ghost marriage is not good and is not accepted. They know it very well, otherwise they wouldn't hide it. They are unrepentant.

"It seems that we can only think of a way at the wedding tomorrow." Chen Ran frowned. If possible, he didn't want to delay it until tomorrow.

Li Zhuofeng also had the same idea, so his face was extremely ugly. Not to mention tomorrow, it's even a question whether we can get there tonight.

"Are Xuan Lao and Zhang Ye back?" Li Zhuofeng looked at the closed gate of the courtyard behind Chen Ran.

The courtyard they live in now is the old house of the village chief. The village chief's family no longer lives here, so they rent it to them temporarily, which is convenient for them.

Guo Dong walked over and pushed the door. The door opened, and the patio was empty. Xuan Lao and Zhang Ye had not come back yet.

Wu Lin was going to dig a grave, so it would take even longer.

At this time, the village chief was already busy again.

"Why don't we go eat first?" Li Zhuofeng suggested.

Chen Ran walked towards the village chief's house.

Guo Dong quickly closed the door and followed him.

Breakfast was already on the table. It was a common dish in farmers' homes, with pickled vegetables with chili peppers, fresh seasonal vegetables, fried peanuts, and white porridge with just the right taste. Just looking at it makes people's appetites grow.
