Chapter 84 Traceability to Paper
  The little fox shut up at the right time, which indeed gave me some room to breathe.

I told Boss Hu what I saw on the inscription and what was found in the coffin.

Boss Hu is a smart man and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem:
  "It is indeed very likely that he is his biological son. If it is someone else, there is a possibility, but it is very slim."

"But what is the relationship between the green-haired zombie and Gao Jian? How did the little girl figure out that they are father and son?"

I exhaled gently:

"Their bones' fingers, the little finger, were born missing a section."

"In our modern eyes, this is uncertain inheritance. Judging from the mother's genetic mixture, it may not necessarily be passed on to the next generation, but ancient people did not know this."

"The content on the inscription states that the father favored his younger son. Although it is a small detail, aren't you curious why Gao Jian loves this younger son so much?"

"Is it possible that his body structure is most similar to Gao Jian's, so he is loved so much?"

"He has inherited Gao Jian's genes. Who else could he be besides Gao Jian's third son?"

"Since he came to rob his father's tomb and he didn't even leave, how could the things disappear?"

"If there are any accomplices seeking wealth and killing, can Gao Laosan tell outsiders about the wonderful uses of pottery urns? What are the chances? An accomplice who doesn't know the use of pottery urns has just killed someone, and he also took a person with him on the way to escape. What’s the probability that it’s a bulky object?”

The probability of the last situation is almost negligible!
  Therefore, the longevity pottery urn is almost certainly still down there!

Now we have to think about how to dig out the gravel from the ground and dig out the stuff!
  The more Boss Hu and others listened, the brighter their eyes became.

Boss Hu stood up and immediately adjusted his strategy. I thought for a moment, stopped him and said:

"Although the green zombie is suppressed, it can still move, so be careful."

"Also, can you question the zombies as you were good at summoning souls and questioning them before?"

Boss Hu smiled helplessly and said:
  "I want to express my gratitude to the little girl, but I can't. Zombies are beyond the Three Realms and are not among the Five Elements."

"Only those who are in great pain will turn into zombies. The moment they become frozen, they are already wiped out in people's mouths."

"Although I thought the little girl had a slip of the tongue before, so I didn't answer the question."

Is this because I am ignorant?
  How could I know about this kind of thing? My second uncle didn’t say anything before he left!

My face was a little tense, but Boss Hu didn't pay attention to the small details. He pushed a few brothers to help. After thinking about it, he told me a lot about himself:

"The little girl is young and doesn't understand these things. It's normal."

"My Uncle Hu can actually only ask people who died shortly after their death and whose souls are still queuing up in the underworld before being reincarnated. It's not that they are unreasonable in asking questions, but my uncle goes directly to the underworld and uses his own face to lead the person. "

So that’s it.
  I didn’t expect that even if I go to the underworld, I have to save face.
  I was thoughtful and asked Boss Hu to rearrange the people. I said I was going to rest for a while and asked them to call me if they had anything to do. Then I entered the tent.

It's just that I tossed and turned for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep. I got up again, took out the contents of the paper man's package that I just left, and carefully observed the green nails through the paper.

This is the nail of the index finger, thick and black, covered with dirt over the years.

At first glance they look like the nails of someone who is used to doing rough work, but they are very different. Although the nails are dirty, they are in excellent shape. It seems that after the death of the zombies, the nails will not grow again, and because Gao Laosan often crawls in the tunnels, he is extremely dirty.

What can this small piece of nail be used for?
  I originally thought that Boss Hu could ask the soul to know what happened in front of this zombie, and to quickly find out the location of the urn, but now it seems that it has become a luxury.

It would be great if these personal belongings of the deceased could speak.

It is best to describe the situation of the deceased one by one.

But how could such a thing happen?
  and many more!

There seems to be such a method!

While my mind was wandering, I immediately stood up when I thought of this matter, and began to recall one of the secret techniques of paper-tying.

At that time, when I knew that my second uncle had enemies who were looking for him, I spent several days memorizing the secrets of the entire book by rote and completely destroying the pages in order to have peace of mind.

Now that it’s time to put it into practice, it really reminds me of one that I can use!
  That is - paper to record, collection to trace the source!

To put it simply, paper is a carrier, and it is used to record things!

What's the fastest way to know the history of something you want to know?
  Can't it be just word of mouth?
  Of course, find a carrier!

Whether it is bamboo, paper, or stone, they are all a kind of carrier. As long as you ‘put’ what you want to record on it, it can be conveyed, retained, and carried!
  My spirit was shaken, and I quickly continued to recall the practical story that my second uncle wrote in this article——

More than 20 years ago, when my second uncle was traveling around, he visited a small village in northern Yunnan.

It was too late when we arrived, but there happened to be a funeral in the village and a banquet was held, so we went to have a meal.

It’s not that the second uncle is shameless, but the customs in northern Yunnan are very different from other places. It is not the custom here that only people with close relationships need to go to funerals and feasts, but everyone can go.

Everyone.

Even if you are a peddler and a lackey met on the funeral road, or a tourist from all over the world, you can come as long as you want to come. If you don’t come, you will be warmly invited. I hope you can have a bite of the simple meal and add some fragrance to the host’s house. It can be considered a lively and decent way to go after death.

Therefore, in northern Yunnan, there are often cases where family fortunes that have been accumulated for many years are wiped out just because of a useless thing.

But let’s put these aside for now. What happened to my second uncle was that he was cordially invited. He couldn’t stand the enthusiasm of the folks, so he went along.

After going there, I found that the dead male owner of the house was quite young, only 23 or 24 years old. He had just married a wife, and he was just the right age. Unexpectedly, he drowned.

As soon as the male master died, the uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law in the family began to discuss how to divide his property in front of the new daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law cried so hard in front of the hall that she wanted to hit the coffin several times.

The second uncle saw that the uncles, brothers and sisters were so promiscuous, and that the man had a vague air of death, so he asked the man's wife for a lock of his hair, set it on fire, and ground the ashes into powder.

A paper man was pierced on the spot, and the powder was put into the body of the paper man to activate the formula.

Then, all the guests in the hall watched the paper man stand up unsteadily and repeat what he had done before him!

　A little survey from the author~
  　　Does anyone like the little story about the second uncle that is interspersed like this? Do you need to make a special extra about the second uncle (approximately 10,000 words)?
