(This book has no real ghosts, but sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts.)

"Zhiwei, your mom is sick."

My uncle handed me a boning knife.

"It's village custom. Medicine works best when it's made with flesh from a biological daughter. Your mom raised you all these years, so what's wrong with cutting off two jin for her?"

[Stage One: Filial Piety Moves Heaven.]

They told me that as long as I fulfilled my duty as a filial child, I would make it out alive.
