Zhao Sanyi and Chen Abao guided the way to a farmhouse in the middle of the village, inviting Hu Ma and Er Guotou to sit before a stone table and stone stools. Nearby, someone bobbed along and served tea. Hu Ma turned his head to look, feeling slightly surprised. The maid serving the tea had unstable footsteps, a stiff expression, and there was a rustling of paper as she moved: she was actually a paper man.
However, the tea she served was hot to the touch, indeed belonging to the world of the living.
In the underworld, having a Living Village was already astonishing. Yet, employing paper men to serve tea added to the sensation of bizarre extraordinariness within the mundane.
For someone entering the underworld for the first time, it truly was an eye-opener.
As for Er Guotou, he remained wary, unsurprised by strange phenomena, and stayed silent. He did not drink the tea, maintaining an air of mysterious arrogance.
