?Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Origami Computer Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Origami Computer The new task Cui Yu assigned had Mianmian very busy.
She was busy with paper folding, or rather, paper crafting.
As far back as a thousand years ago, to send off the deceased more peacefully, it was necessary to commission a Paper Craftsman. They would craft paper replicas of familiar items like carriages and clothes the dead person had worn. For a grander affair, paper representations of young male and female servants, along with various maids and manservants, would be burned at funerals to accompany the departed.
There were many particulars to heed: inanimate objects like paper money could still be used in the Underworld, but not living creatures such as cows or horses. This is because the paper representations of living beings were merely shells; they would temporarily take shape through the power of the deceased’s friends and relatives, accompany the dead to the Underworld, and assist them through trials like “Golden Chicken Mountain” and “Evil Dog Ridge”. After that, they would disappear.
Otherwise, if the paper-crafted people or animals also descended to the Underworld, that place would have been overcrowded with these things long ago.
Mianmian had carefully calculated the location for the paper crafting, settling on a spot right next to Wan Jia, Liao An’s mother.
Wan Jia couldn’t reveal herself yet and could only maintain the form of a tree.
While crafting paper, Mianmian asked her family to keep their distance, only letting Liao An and the others sit under the Pomegranate tree as she worked.
She kept her family away from the task for fear it might affect their fortunes. The nieces and nephews were numerous, and not all would stay home every day—some would go out occasionally.
Mianmian was worried that, in instances she hadn’t foreseen, the nieces and nephews might accidentally attract bad luck and come to harm.
The materials for paper crafting were not bought new; they came from Mianmian’s family warehouse. Although not expensive, there were many such items in the warehouse, including various paints.
