Luckily, Yang Xiao's fears did not come true. After walking for about ten minutes, a breeze blew through the night, slightly dispersing the fog. Yang Xiao and the others saw that strange procession again, now they had come to a lakeside.
The procession stopped by the lakeside, and the boat was lowered down.
Now closer, Yang Xiao and the others could see clearly that the two ends of the boat were not some white sculptures but were actually two people, or rather two bodies wrapped tightly.
On the way, Professor Cui had mentioned to Yang Xiao about the customs in the Myanmar-Thailand zone, where ancient burial practices were still prevalent in remote and backward areas, commonly known as "head wrapping burial".
It involves washing and cleansing the deceased, then stuffing the nostrils with cotton, wrapping the entire body with white cloth, and finally tying a massive knot on the head.
