Chapter 8 Introducing Tianjin
  The second uncle's expression was very painful, and I was also flustered. I could only hold on to the second uncle's arm to stop him from hitting me.

The second uncle slapped himself several times, then put down his hand with eyes blank and said:

"Abai, it was my second uncle who harmed you."

"One of the taboos of us paper makers is to add eyes to the paper figures. Without the eyes, the paper will not survive. With the eyes, it becomes spiritual."

"This paper man will be lucky to whomever he wins. Now he has been taken away by that woman with bad intentions. If he does evil in the future, it will all be considered your retribution."

I was surprised. This is the true meaning. If people sit at home, disaster will come from the sky.

I asked hurriedly:

"Then, I have never seen that woman before, why did she harm me?"

Only then did I suddenly remember that the woman called her second uncle by his name when she entered the door. Could it be that these two people had met before and had any grudges?
  The second uncle had obviously thought of this, and his face suddenly looked bad. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said with great certainty:
  "No, if your second uncle and I could meet any beautiful woman, could I still be a bachelor for so many years?"

I thought so. My second uncle thought about it for a moment, but then he remembered something and said seriously:
  "Do you still have the money that woman gave you just now?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then I suddenly remembered that this happened, and then I took out the banknotes that the woman had just given me from my already soaked clothes.

The moment I took it out, I was stunned.

When I heard my second uncle asking about money, I actually had a very bad thought in my mind.

That woman was so beautiful and charming, and yet she had done such a harmful thing, there was no guarantee that she was a lonely ghost.

Then if he was a lonely ghost, wouldn't the money given to him be money from the underworld?
  But the pile of soaked banknotes in my hand are real soft money.

I immediately came to my senses and told my second uncle what I had just thought, not forgetting to add the following sentence at the end:
  "I'm overthinking my second uncle. This money is real money and the situation is not that bad."

When my second uncle looked at the stack of money in my hand, the expression on his face became even worse. He shook his head repeatedly and said seriously:
  "No! Wrong! It's real money, and the situation is really bad!"

I quickly asked, but my second uncle walked around the house a few times and said:

"Have you ever thought about why that woman didn't sit down when she entered the room?"

Seeing my confused look, my second uncle said angrily:

"It's just two situations. One is that I don't want to sit, and the other is that I can't sit!"

"Let me ask you, you saw Wu Laosan who was out of body a few days ago. Can his body bend?"

I thought about it carefully and was suddenly shocked:
  "No can't"

"Moreover, Grandpa Wu San's hand when he held me was also very cold."

My heart was beating fast, and I vaguely felt that I understood something.

The second uncle said:

“My hands are cold and my body is not bent, but people can still take out cash now.”

"The other party is not dead yet, but he is just a hair away from death!"

I was shaken so hard that I could barely hold the money in my hand.

The next second, my second uncle took all the money from my hand, moved an empty brazier from the inner room, then lit a fire and threw all the banknotes into the brazier.

"Second uncle!"

This was thousands of dollars, and I was inevitably a little distressed, but I saw that my second uncle looked unconcerned. After the fire was extinguished, he glued the ashes of these banknotes into a ball with clean water. Then I pulled bamboo strips and colored paper from the ground, and within a moment, a lifelike little paper man appeared in front of me.

The second uncle stuffed the ash ball into the paper man's gut, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes, his eyes were like a torch, he used his two fingers to form a sword, focused on the paper man's eyebrows, and shouted:
  "The Supreme Being is so powerful that he never stops adapting to changes. The paper manipulator guides me and makes me understand the truth!"

This sharp shout resounded through the house, making me feel agitated for no reason, and my ears and eyes were all clear.

The next second, I saw the paper man standing quietly and motionless.
  It turned out to be——

Let’s move around!
  Although it is very dull and slow, it still has a bit of a trembling feel.
  But it did move right in front of me!
  I was horrified and turned around to look at my second uncle. However, my second uncle had a calm expression on his face. He took a long breath and said:
  "It's raining and the wind is strong, otherwise we can walk more smoothly."

Only then did I realize that there was indeed a wind outside that kept blowing into the main room, causing the door curtains to jingle a series of times.

My mouth felt dry, I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and asked in a low voice:
  "This, this, this is what I can do in the future, uncle."

"You can do better than me!"

The second uncle put on his special tool backpack and ordered:
  "Follow us! Let's see where this paper man leads us to find that woman."

I hurriedly followed, and the trembling paper man took us all the way across the mountain.

It had just rained heavily, and even if the paper man was smart enough to know how to avoid large puddles, he still would inevitably get all kinds of water stains.

The longer the paper man walked, the harder it became. The paper skin of the lower half of the body fell away, leaving only a few thin bamboo strips to support its progress.

I couldn't bear to look at it, but my second uncle looked so matter-of-fact and it was hard to say anything. Fortunately, the paper man quickly stopped at the edge of the mountain road and stopped moving.

I looked up and saw, isn't this the same mass grave I visited a few days ago? !

This time I was really a little shaken, and my teeth were shaking a little:
  "This, why is this a mass grave again? Wasn't Wu Dabao cremated and buried on the same day? Isn't this over yet?!"

The second uncle's brows were so furrowed that he almost pinched a fly. He took a few steps forward and looked around the paper man.

It's fine if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you make a surprising discovery.

Next to the dirt slope of the mountain road where the paper man is standing, there is a canal that leads to the stream. In the past, there was only a trickle in the canal, or it was overgrown with weeds.

But now, there is a person lying in the weeds!

It had just rained heavily, and the water in the ditch was gradually overflowing. The man was lying silently among the weeds in the ditch. It was just a little bit that the water could cover the whole person!

My second uncle and I hurriedly jumped into the ditch and pulled the person up.

I was about to give the person artificial respiration after brushing her hair away. When I took a closer look, wasn't she the beautiful woman who came to the store before? !

My second uncle and I looked at each other and immediately took first aid measures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.

After more than an hour passed, the woman suddenly choked out a mouthful of water and faintly woke up.

The woman's face was full of confusion and helplessness, and the first sentence she spoke was:
  ".who are you?"

Based on my last experience, I immediately thought that this woman was most likely to have a spirit that left her body. Just as I was about to speak, I saw my second uncle next to me stop me and said coldly:

"Although the living soul has no memory of leaving the body after returning to the body, it retains the previous memories."

"If this woman can tell you my name directly, she must know us."

"She would be lying if she asked that."
