Chapter 2802

Ye Chen releasing Meng Changsheng's portrait in Jin Ling did indeed give Wu Feiyan a great shock, to the extent that the thing she was most worried about when coming to China this time was exposing her identity.

To her, those young people camping not far away should all be students still in school. She was not at all worried that any of them could threaten her safety, but she had just heard the conversation between Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er and knew that her behavior already seemed somewhat suspicious in the eyes of others. In this situation, she was truly somewhat indecisive.

And her attention was indeed unknowingly led by Ye Chen in another direction. Now, she only worried about being suspected by others, but she never suspected the identities of these young people.

Just as Wu Feiyan was still hesitating, a golden glow of clouds spread down; the morning sun had already risen from the east.

The young people beside Ye Chen who had stayed up all night and were still excited immediately became thrilled upon seeing this glow. While shouting loudly that the sun was out, they hurriedly took out their phones to take pictures and record videos.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her anymore, Wu Feiyan stepped toward the woods behind the campsite.

At this moment, Wu Feiyan was only seventy or eighty meters away from Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er.

However, her attention was not on these young people at all, and coupled with her being in a state of silence, she did not release any Qi to probe the other party, so she did not notice anything unusual at all.

Ye Chen, however, was carefully sizing up Wu Feiyan out of the corner of his eye.

This woman looked to be in her thirties, with a mature appearance and great charm; both in terms of looks and temperament, she could definitely be counted as the best of the best.

And in her hand, she was carrying some yellow paper and a wine jar. That yellow paper looked very rough; it would probably be extremely difficult to buy nowadays.

Ye Chen could see that the yellow paper and wine jar Wu Feiyan was carrying must be for paying respects to Lin Zhulu. Being able to come pay respects to him showed that in Wu Feiyan's heart, she did not only harbor hatred for Lin Zhulu.

Lin Wan'er was also somewhat surprised. Originally, she had thought that Wu Feiyan would come over aggressively and vent wildly before her parents' cenotaph to vent her personal anger, but she hadn't expected Wu Feiyan to actually bring items for paying respects.

The others camping together also saw the lone Wu Feiyan at this time. For a moment, everyone whispered among themselves.

Someone said, "Damn, is that big sister here to sweep a grave?"

Someone echoed, "Looks like it, but I don't see a grave here."

Shu Lan was a bit nervous and asked in a low voice, "Could this have been a graveyard in the past?"

Hu Leqi said with a calm expression, "Even if it were a graveyard, there's nothing to be surprised about. When they were building the subway in Chang'an, it's said that they discovered thousands of ancient tombs during the construction of just one of the lines. This place looks like a place of outstanding people and spirits; it's very normal to have a few ancient tombs here."

Ye Chen also nodded at this moment and said, "Old Hu is right. Even if someone is here to sweep a grave, there's nothing strange about it. Let's not discuss others behind their backs; it would be so awkward if they heard us. It's impolite."

Hu Leqi nodded and said, "A Chen's point of view is the same as mine. Let's not worry about other people's business. Once the sun rises, everyone should hurry up and go back to the tents to rest for a while and take a nap. After staying up all night, I didn't feel tired at first, but now I feel like I can't take it anymore."

Everyone expressed that their feelings were exactly the same as his. They didn't know that this was the aftereffect of the Qi in the white wine having been exhausted.

Lin Wan'er suddenly took out her phone at this time and said to Ye Chen, "Honey, while the sunlight isn't that strong yet, let's take a photo with the sun and take a few selfies."

Ye Chen guessed that she wanted to photograph Wu Feiyan, so he nodded very understandingly, then took out his phone and opened the front camera's photo function.

After opening the camera, the two of them tacitly turned around, with their backs to the rising morning sun and their backs to Wu Feiyan, and took a group photo.

After taking the photo, Ye Chen hurriedly clicked to zoom in on the photo. Thanks to the high resolution of the front camera, Wu Feiyan's appearance in the photo was captured relatively clearly.

Subsequently, while adjusting his posture to pose with Lin Wan'er, Ye Chen continuously snapped photos related to Wu Feiyan through the photos taken by the front camera.

However, it was a pity that Wu Feiyan soon entered the woods, and the front camera did not have a telephoto function. In this situation, wanting to photograph her was already somewhat of a pipe dream.

Therefore, he put his phone into his pocket and continued to pretend to enjoy the sunrise with Lin Wan'er.

And his peripheral vision was still carefully watching Wu Feiyan.

After searching in the woods for a while, Wu Feiyan chose a relatively open area, then took out a hammer and a cylindrical object made with a wooden handle from her bag.

Immediately after, Wu Feiyan spread the yellow paper on the ground, pressed the cylindrical object against the yellow paper, and then used the hammer to strike the head of the cylindrical object heavily.

In this way, circular outlines were left on the rough yellow paper, with a square hole in the middle.

This is "money-punching," which ordinary people rarely come into contact with anymore.

Although the yellow paper is roughly made, it is highly flammable. Even now, in rural areas, it remains the best choice for many people to sweep graves and pay respects to relatives during the Qingming Festival.

And the cylindrical object with the wooden handle is the mold used for punching money.

At this time, Wu Feiyan skillfully separated a stack of yellow paper, laid it flat on the ground, held it down with the mold, and starting from the top left corner, fiercely struck the tail of the cylindrical object, leaving a circular outer ring with a square circle shape in the middle on this stack of yellow paper.

This, in fact, represents the copper coins used in ancient China.

Copper coins were the main currency of the ancients, so the copper coins punched out in this way, when burned for the deceased, are the true paper money in the hearts of the ancients.

Only by burning such paper money for the deceased can one ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing on the other side.

This way of punching paper money is basically hard to see nowadays. In the current funeral industry, no one is still producing such cheap and simple products. Even the most basic paper money is printed paper currency with the image of the Jade Emperor and the heading of the Heaven and Earth Bank.

However, for Wu Feiyan, she still retains the habit of using yellow paper to punch money to pay respects to the souls of the dead, so this time coming to Diannan, she specifically brought yellow paper and that mold she had used for hundreds of years.

At this time, Wu Feiyan had completely ignored the young people she had encountered just now. In her view, those people were completely in a different world from her, so there was no need for her to pay attention to them, let alone care about them. This series of her mental journey was almost exactly the same as Lin Wan'er's prediction; Lin Wan'er had bet correctly!

Therefore, she focused on punching dense copper coins on all the yellow paper, then got up to pick up a handy tree branch, and subsequently, she used that branch to clear a flat area on the ground.

Afterward, Wu Feiyan took out a lighter, ignited one of the yellow papers, then threw the ignited yellow paper back into the center of the flat area, and then began to fill it with paper, one sheet after another.

Looking at the burning flames and the ashes stirred up by the heat waves, Wu Feiyan's eyes were already filled with tears, and she whispered in a voice that only she could hear, "Brother Zhulu, Feiyan has come to see you..."
