461. The Stink of Corpse on the Paper Doll

"Brother, isn't the money for giving away souls only used when sending souls? What is this for?"

Meihui asked me, and I was wondering, so I leaned over and picked up a valuable piece of money. The number of funerals in the Northeast is somewhat different from that in the South. The coins are very large, and some are simply a square cow.

A few holes were punched in the dung paper as a substitute. But I have never seen the valuable coins they scattered all the way in front. They are even different from the original valuable coins or small sheets of ghost coins that southerners are used to. Each sheet is about the size of a palm.

Torn into a human shape, this little paper figurine still has facial features marked on it. I can’t say how well it is painted, but at least the facial features are clearly distinguishable. Moreover, each paper figurine has a string of weird characters written in Manchu.

"Do you know the heroine?" I asked her.

She took it, hid in the dark and shone it with a flashlight, then turned around and looked at me suspiciously: "Brother, this is not an ordinary ghost coin, this is... this is used to guide the dead! It's full of

The text means the identity and date of death of the deceased."

I frowned, not understanding what these old men were up to. "What do you mean? Lead the way? People have been dead for hundreds of years, how can they lead the way? If they really had souls, they would have been reincarnated!"

"Take a look, what's behind the little paper man?"

When I saw it, my body suddenly trembled and I dropped the paper man on the ground. It turned out that there was a small layer of sticky stuff spit out on the back of the paper man. It was impossible to tell if you didn’t look carefully, and it was flat even when you touched it with your hands.

, but there is a stink upon smelling it. This smell is very familiar to both Meihui and me. It is the smell of corpse.

"Wow! Brother, you can't do that, can you? The big waves are coming, how can a piece of corpse oil scare you like this?" Meihui said with a smile.

"You stupid girl, you didn't touch the body oil with your hands just now, did you?"

"No! What happened? What a fuss!"

"This corpse oil is poisonous! It's mixed with crane crown red!"

"Damn it! Isn't it? These bad old guys are too bad? Isn't this harmful to people?"

I said: "It's not to harm people, but to prevent this ghostly paper man from being swallowed by wild beasts in the mountains. The smell of corpses is willing to provoke those scavengers. Crane's red is colorless and odorless to humans, but

But it doesn’t mean that there is really no smell, it’s just that human noses are not as sharp as those of wild beasts. Wild beasts in the mountains will stay away when they smell the red crane crown and will not drive in and destroy this little paper man.”

She asked me how I found out that Heding Red was mixed in corpse oil since it is colorless and odorless. In fact, it was really an unintentional move on my part, but it was this unintentional move that saved me once. I am a very special person and am lazy in doing anything.

Yangyang, he just picked up the paper figurine and shook the paper figurine's head twice, inadvertently occupying the sleeve opening of the cold-proof clothes. When he saw it just now, a large piece of the embroidery at the sleeve opening was burned off.

"As for what? This is too much of a loss? Couldn't they have been more prepared? What a loss!" Meihui kept cursing in her mouth.

"I understand, let's go. Let's be careful. If I guess correctly, this little paper man must be scattering in a pattern." I walked, counting the steps.

Sure enough, this thing appeared again about two hundred meters in front of the paper man we just saw. Every time they would throw out two, one male paper man and one female paper man, one on the left and one on the left. If

Calculating based on the distance, there should be almost fifty pairs of paper figures when we arrive at Junbie Pavilion. I don’t think this number means anything, but why do they scatter paper figures so consistent with the distance of the last time?
