After walking for about six or seven minutes, they basically arrived at the village chief's current residence, and several of the eight people had been watching for anything suspicious around them, but unfortunately everything was normal, and nothing strange happened.

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

In summary, they still have certain advantages, and the focus should also be on the 'paper man' - after all, according to the normal human thinking pattern, most of them are like this.

Everyone followed the footsteps of the old village chief into his house, and as soon as they entered, they were stunned by the rows of delicate paper people in front of them.

- No, you can't just say that it's a 'paper man', after all, it's more about animals like pigs, cows and horses, or some luxurious residences made of paper.

In the middle are the boys and girls, with pale faces, exaggerated expressions, and bright red and green—all of which are written in the traditional depiction of 'paper people'.

At least four of the eight people, namely Yun Zhi and the others, have a certain understanding of this, even if they don't have a deep exploration, they still know some basic knowledge.

For example, the four taboos of paper piercing people:

1. Vixens are not allowed to pierce.

Otherwise, the paper-binding maker may be entangled in the spirit of a vixen.

2. Pregnant women should not be pricked.

After all, there is more than one person who has died in a pregnant woman, and if something goes wrong, her life may be gone.

3. Those who are in the same way should not be pierced.

They are very evasive about this, but the specific why, the papermaker is vague and does not explain why.

4. Eyes can't be pointed.

This is probably the biggest taboo, in the eyes of the papermaker, if the paper-piercing person puts the finishing touch, the paper-piercing person will be given a soul to a certain extent, and to some extent will be 'reborn'.

In addition to the above taboos, there are also some rules for paper-binders: such as red men and green women, that is, red boys use green for boys, women burn oxen and men burn horses, paper-bound craftsmen must use needles to pierce people, and those who are not paper-bound are not allowed to tie paper and tie people, etc.

In short, in this traditional craft, there are many rules, after all, this is indeed making a fortune, and it is normal to have many rules.

…

The courtyard was full of things made of paper, and the people were a little at a loss, and the old village chief, after discovering this situation, quickly packed up a piece of land, and took a small horse for each of the eight of them.

Yun Zhi roughly observed this courtyard - unlike their residence, there were countless paper products here, large and small, piled up in various corners, but the most conspicuous were still the two paper figures placed in the center of the courtyard.

Behind the paper man is a huge cypress tree, on which are hung many wooden signs, and the signs seem to have some words written on them.

But... Cypress?

Would a normal person plant a cypress tree in their home?

…

The old village chief didn't know how long he entered the house, and just when someone couldn't sit still and wanted to go in, the old village chief himself came out with a small horse tie and a big bag.

When Cheng Xiao and the others were about to step forward, Yun Zhi had already arrived at the old village chief's side, and carried the bag in his hand and put it in the courtyard very easily.

The rest of the players who didn't know the details of Yun Zhi swallowed their saliva - after all, that thing was not light at first glance, she could 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 Yun Zhi carrying the bag, her eyes kept hanging on Yun Zhi, Jiang Ya rubbed her forehead helplessly after seeing the familiar scene, and there was a moment of self-sufficiency.

- After all, there are only two things that can interest Chunjiao: one is to eat, and the other is to see people with great strength.

Don't look at her size, she eats a lot, but her strength is slightly inferior to that of normal people, and her body is quite weak.

She thought that this probably had something to do with her super-energy attributes, which were indeed very energy-consuming...

…

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

The old village chief smiled, and kept talking about good children when he took the bag to distribute the needed utensils, and when it was time for Yun Zhi, Yun Zhi helped his glasses, and when he took the parts handed over by the old village chief, he inadvertently mentioned one thing: "Old village chief, what about your granddaughter, are you going out to play?" ”

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

When he distributed the things later, Yun Zhi looked at the things in his hands now—roughly bamboo, wood, thread, paper, thick needles, and paints.

After distributing the things, the old village chief came to them with his share and the little maza, and gave them a rough explanation of how to make it: "When the traditional paper-making craftsmen get started, I will explain some of the unwritten rules of our line:

First, don't talk to paper people at ordinary times.

Second, don't draw a piece of paper on a person's eyes.

Thirdly, you can't do it at night.

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

Keep the above four points in mind, don't ask why, knowing too much is not good for you beginners. ”

After speaking, the old village chief began to take care of himself as a paper man, and never communicated with them again, as if he was completely selfless.

Eight people, you look at me, I look at you, they are all dumbfounded.

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

Everyone was a little at a loss where to start, so they could only watch the old village chief concentrate on making the paper in his hand.

After seeing that the second paper piercing man was done, Yun Zhi began to try, and the other players basically followed the same example - in the steps of this craft, bamboo and wood were used as skeletons, threads were used to wrap them, and finally the paper was dipped in water and pasted a little bit.

It's easy to see the old man do it, but only after you get started will you know the difficulty.

The eight of them were busy doing the work in their hands, and Yunzhi felt a little tired halfway through, so he thought about resting for a while, but the moment he stopped, that creepy gaze came all of a sudden.

Yun Zhimeng raised his head and looked at the paper people in the courtyard, for some reason, he always felt that the distance between the two paper people and them seemed to have narrowed...

The two paper people are still the same as before, but the smiling faces on them... There seems to be something twisted and weird.

It seems to cry but not cry, it seems to laugh but not laugh, and it is inexplicably mad.

They don't have eyes, but they still have that feeling of being watched—no, this feeling of being watched is not just from the two paper people, the sense of peeping is more like coming from all directions, pervasive.
