"If you want to know more, you can go look for Old Man Qiao. He had the best relationship with Ah Niu and Gu Lanzhi.
Besides, he goes up the mountain to chop wood every day; who knows, maybe he has seen Gu Lanzi's ghost and heard something from her.
That's all I know. Go ask him."
The group exchanged glances, their hearts growing heavier.

Seeing that it was getting late, they didn't go to find Old Man Qiao but returned to the Mayor's house instead.

Her mind was full of things about Gu Lanzhi.
For example, how had she died, and how had her husband died?
