Suddenly, Sui Chengguo seemed to have discovered something. He walked alone towards the corner behind the door and quickly returned with a large burlap bag. Previously, this spot had housed scarecrows, which Yang Xiao had checked first thing upon waking. There had been nothing then which meant that the cloth bag had appeared not long before.
After taking the cloth bag from Sui Chengguo's hands, Yang Xiao observed it closely. There was nothing unusual about the bag itself. Feeling through the bag, he could touch something the size of a walnut at the bottom, a hard, stone-like object.
He held the bag open, turned it upside down, and shook it a few times, yet the stone didn't fall out. Seeing this, Sui Chengguo reached into the bag to fish it out, but despite his efforts, he couldn't feel the stone inside. In fact, the bag was empty.
