Shen Ji Paper Horse Shop

When her father died, he left her a paper horse shop, half a cabinet of armored horse boards, and an old well with bluestones. People in the town said that the Shen family girl had a hard life and was born to eat this bowl of rice from the underworld. She didn't believe in fate, she only believed in the paper figures in her hands and the mountain gods carved on the woodblocks. Until the first person who came to the door said: "My mother-in-law went to the mountains and it was wrong to come back." From that day on, she knew—— My father did not drown, my mother did not leave home, There was always something waiting for her in that old well.
