The group exited the door and walked along the steep mountain path for about half an hour. Before them appeared a relatively large open space, piled with many burial mounds. There were traces of incense burning by the tombstones, indicating that people often came to pay respects here.
"This is where the Zhang family members are buried, and your family is buried across from here," said Zhang Tiegong. "We carried the deceased from the mountain hollow, placed them in coffins, and buried them in the earth. At least they have a peaceful resting place."
Zhang Yao, the eldest sister, added, "Unfortunately, your family was burned beyond recognition. We couldn't tell who was who and could only erect a single tombstone without any inscription. Let's go, after the stream in front, we will be there."
