Ghost stories used to be genuinely terrifying. You wouldn't dare go out at night. These days, horror novels are so lame I can't stand listening to them. They aren't even as scary as the ghost stories I rented from the bookstore for 30 cents a day as a kid.

The horror of this book is divided into five levels: the first level is that the story itself is scary, the second level is that the easter egg illustrations are scary, the third level is that the linkage between the stories makes your scalp numb, the fourth level is that the reality confirms it and makes you doubt your life, the fifth level... The fifth level you have to choose for yourself. If you want to progress step by step in Shuhuang, come on!

There is also a popular saying in our area: At noon, ghosts show their heads; when it is dark at night (xie), ghosts solicit customers (qie). I was young at that time and didn't understand, so I asked the old lady in the village who was basking in the sun. The old lady told me a story: a few years ago, a man died in the village because he worked in a firecracker factory behind the village. The firecracker factory exploded and the man's head was blown away, so he was buried in the ground. Not long after they were buried, the corn planted in the fields was about to mature. There was a family where the man had nothing to do and wanted to go to the fields after lunch. His wife said that what he wanted to do at noon was that he would go there after the party. The man said it was okay, he had nothing to do anyway, and left with his hands behind his back.

It's normal. You can see every bit of life, all kinds of things in the world, the joys and sorrows of life, and there is no exaggerated cultivation of immortality or golden fingers. What you can see is the author who has an extremely upright outlook on life and character. He can sometimes lament about his clients' affairs, and sometimes make jokes with Brother Fugui. I have only come across such a normal and real book after years of reading!
