out of order cruise ship

After walking for about six or seven minutes, I basically arrived at the current residence of the village chief. Several of the eight people have been watching to see if there is anything suspicious around them. Unfortunately, everything is normal and there is nothing strange. things happen.

Yun Zhi's eyes under the glasses were calm, probably because he felt that the clues of the first day should not appear too early, not to mention that the map of this dungeon is slightly smaller than the previous one, and it is relatively convenient to check the location.

To sum up, they still have certain advantages, and the focus should also be on the matter of "sticking people with paper"-after all, this is mostly the case according to the normal human thinking mode.

Everyone followed the footsteps of the old village head into his house, and as soon as they entered, they were overwhelmed by rows of exquisite paper-made figures in front of them.

——No, we can’t simply say it’s a “paper-stitched man”, after all, there are more animals like pigs, cows and horses here, or some luxurious residences made of paper.

The ones in the middle are boys and girls, with pale faces, exaggerated expressions, and bright red and green colors—all of them are written in the traditional image description of "paper-stitched people".

At least four of the eight people—that is, Yun Zhi and others have a certain understanding of this. Even if they haven't explored deeply, they still know some basic knowledge.

For example, the four taboos of paper piercing:
1. Shrews are not allowed to pierce.

Otherwise the papermaker might be haunted by the vixen's spirit.

2. Pregnant women are not allowed to pierce.

After all, there is more than one soul of a pregnant woman, and if something goes wrong, her life may be lost.

3. People of the same way should not be tied.

They have a lot of taboos about this, but the specific reason why, the papermaker is vague and did not explain the reason.

4. The eyes cannot be pointed.

This is probably the biggest taboo. From the perspective of the paper maker, if the paper piercer is used for finishing touches, the paper piercer will be endowed with a soul to a certain extent, and will be "resurrected" to a certain extent.

In addition to the above taboos, papermakers also have some rules: such as red men and green women—that is, boys use red and girls use green, women burn cows and men burn horses, papermakers must use needles, and non-papermakers must not use needles. Paper stick people and so on.

In short, in this traditional craft, there are many rules. After all, this is indeed making people rich, and it is normal to have many rules.

...

The yard was full of things made of paper, and everyone was a little helpless. After discovering this situation, the old village head quickly cleared up a piece of land, and took a small horse for each of the eight of them.

Yun Zhi took a general look at the courtyard—different from their residence, there are countless paper products piled up in every corner, but the most conspicuous are still the two paper bundles placed in the center of the courtyard. people.

Behind the paper man is a huge cypress tree with many wooden signs hanging on it, and there seems to be something written on the signs.

But... cypress?
Do normal people plant cypress trees in their own homes?
...

The old village head didn't know how long he had been in the house, but when someone couldn't sit still and wanted to go in, the old village head came out with a small horse and a big bag.

When Cheng Xiao and the others were about to step forward, Yun Zhi had already arrived beside the old village head, put the bag in his hand, and easily lifted it up and placed it in the courtyard.

The other players who didn't know Yun Zhi's details swallowed—after all, the thing was not light at first glance, and she was able to pick it up and carry it on her shoulders at once, and her own strength was definitely not small.

Chunjiao's eyes lit up the moment she saw Yunzhi pick up the bag, and her gaze kept on Yunzhi's body. Jiang Ya rubbed her forehead helplessly after seeing the familiar scene, shutting herself off for a moment.

——After all, there are only two things that can interest Chunjiao: one is eating, and the other is seeing people with great strength.

Although she is not small and eats a lot, her strength is slightly inferior to that of normal people, and her body is also quite weak.

She thought, probably this reason is inseparable from her superpower attribute, after all, that ability is indeed very energy-consuming...

...

After everyone sat back in the small Mazar, they lined up obediently, waiting for the old village chief to distribute the materials and tools for making paper figurines.

The old village chief smiled, and kept saying good boy when he was distributing the necessary tools with the bag. When I was looking for spare parts, I inadvertently mentioned something: "Old village chief, where is your granddaughter, did she go out to play?"

The old village head handed the last thing to Yun Zhi, and replied with a smile, "Yes, I went to find her little friend."

When distributing the things later, Yun Zhi looked at the things in his hands - roughly bamboo, wood, thread, paper, thick needles, and paints.

After distributing the things, the old village head came to them with his own share and the little maza, and explained how to make them: "When a traditional paper maker gets started, I will explain some of the different things in our line of work. The written rules:
First, you should not talk to the paper piercer at ordinary times.

Second, don't draw eyes on paper piercers.

Third, you can't do it at night.

Fourth, if a guest comes but doesn't say a word but just looks at you straight, remember, don't look at him, communicate with him, or even pretend not to see him.

Keep in mind the above four points, don’t ask why, it’s not good for you beginners if you know too much. "

After finishing speaking, the old village chief started to make paper puppet people on his own, and never communicated with them again, as if he had completely forgotten himself and immersed himself in it.

The eight people were dumbfounded when they looked at each other.

——Do you want to co-author these things, or do you have to figure it out on your own?

Everyone didn't know where to start, they could only watch the old village chief concentrate on making the paper piercing man in his hand.

About seeing that after making the second paper figurine, Yunzhi began to try, and other players basically followed suit—in the steps of this craft, bamboo and wood were used as the skeleton, and threads were used to tie the paper figurines. It is entangled, and finally take the paper and dip it in water to paste it a little bit.

It's easy to see the old man doing it, but only after you get started will you know how difficult it is.

The eight people were busy doing the work in their hands. Yunzhi felt a little tired when he was halfway through, so he wanted to take a break, but the moment he stopped, the creepy feeling of staring suddenly came.

Yun Zhi suddenly raised his head and looked at the paper-made people in the courtyard. For some reason, he always felt that the distance between the two paper-made people seemed to be getting smaller...

The two paper figurines still look the same as before, but the smiling faces on them... seem a little distorted and weird.

Crying but not crying, smiling but not laughing, inexplicably creepy.

Even though they have no eyes, they still have the feeling of being watched—no, this feeling of being watched doesn’t just come from the two paper-stitched people, the sense of peeping is more like coming from all directions and pervasiveness.
