Chapter 325 - 204: The Little Leg Bone in the Snow_2
"I wasn’t injured, just tripped over something, thank you for your concern, my sisters." Liu Si Niang kicked the snow off her feet and bowed in thanks to everyone around.
Ran Yan’s gaze shifted to her feet and she saw a white object mixed with the snow, revealing itself. The ground was trampled and chaotic, the bone mingled with mud and snow was barely noticeable unless looked at closely.
With Ran Yan’s experience, she immediately recognized it as a piece of bone, and moreover, it was a human shinbone!
The human shinbone is different from those of other animals and consists of the tibia and fibula. The tibia is situated on the inner side of the shin, its upper end is bulky, protruding to both the interior and exterior as the medial and lateral condyles. Each condyle has an articular surface that connects to the femur. From the outside, it looks like a bone split into two, hollowed in the middle.
Considering that all present were ladies who might be faint-hearted, Ran Yan did not make a fuss but rather urged, "It gets dark early in snowy weather, and you’re all soaked through; better hurry back into the carriage to warm up. It’s a small matter to fall ill, but it would be bad to get scolded!"
Ran Yan said this earnestly, causing everyone to giggle, but they all empathized and quickly hurried back to their carriages. The maidens noticed that several more carriages had appeared on the road, and a few young men brazenly stared at them, causing them to blush and hurriedly board the carriages to leave swiftly.
Ran Yan hesitated over what to do. With her current status, it was not convenient to directly dig out the corpse for examination or to report to the authorities. After thinking it over, she felt it might be better to tell Xiao Song...
Just as Ran Yan was about to get into her carriage, she heard a stable, magnetic voice call her, "Miss Seventeen."
