The Hospitable Mayor

Li Du took in their get-up and had a rough inkling of what was going on. These people were dressed in white from head to toe, evidently here to visit a grave. Perhaps they had a relative buried on the mountain.

Burial ceremonies were a practice in Myanmar and burial grounds were often in the mountains. Myanmar was similar to China in that they both believed in Feng Shui. Yet when Li Du looked around the area, he could not find a single tomb. He had searched along the perimeter of the area before that and found no traces of a cemetery. He thought about it for a while longer before saying, "Oh, I think you're mistaken, sir. We have no plans of unearthing anything here and we won't be starting any work."

At the sound of this, the old man was shocked. He questioned, "You have no plans of starting work here? How can that be? The mayor...hmph! You're lying!"
