Chapter 66: Brother Dao, Do You Have to Bury Me?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As Li Yidao mentioned that he would demonstrate live stream teaching everyone how to make paper dolls, the live stream room instantly went crazy.

There were various messages flooding the screen, and you could imagine there was nothing you couldn’t see in the time-sync comments.

As for Li Yidao at this moment, since he was talking about his expertise, he no longer paid attention to the comments and went out for a while to bring in the materials.

One should know that the skill of making paper dolls was not something he learned only from his parents in this world.

In the other world, he had learned some techniques for this.

After all, his previous occupation was quite special!

So his doll-making skill was indeed outstanding.

Sitting down slowly, he began to organize the materials while also explaining to everyone.

“Making paper dolls also has some rules to follow. You might not be very familiar with these. In fact, making paper dolls is not just a matter of burning them.”

As he started talking, the comments in the live stream gradually quieted down, as if everyone was eagerly waiting for Li Yidao’s explanation.

After all, they would probably need to use this in the future, right?

“The most basic rule is this: Men should make horses, and women should burn cows, and don’t draw eyes on the dolls.”

“The reason for this has a certain historical reference. In ancient times, when a man died, he would go to another place to work, so naturally, he needed to ride a horse.”

“As for women, they spent most of their lives washing clothes and cooking in ancient times. Wasting water and firewood was considered a sin. So, burning a cow allowed the cow to help drink polluted water and carry firewood, reducing the women’s sins…”

Li Yidao kept on explaining.

Listening to this, the audience in the live stream room were all puzzled.

They seemed to have never heard of such stories before.

But it also seemed to make perfect sense!

Actually, it was normal that no one had heard of it.

Because these stories were not from this world but brought by Li Yidao from his other world.

So naturally, no one had heard of them.

“Is the streamer trying to fool us? My family also runs a funeral shop, but I’ve never heard of these stories. However, men burning horses and women burning cows is true, but I don’t know the reason.”

“Is it true or not? Shouldn’t those who run funeral shops be familiar with these things?”

“Could it be… Brother Dao just made it up? But it sounds so reasonable!”

“Wow, I’ve learned something new. No wonder our family burns horses for men and cows for women!”

“So, burning a horse for a man means sending him off to another place for work? Then I’ll burn many horses for my grandfather, let him become a high-ranking official! ”

“Are you stupid, upstairs? Why make him an official? Just burn tens of thousands of horses and start a horse farm!”

“No… following upstairs’ logic, if I burn tens of thousands of cows for my grandmother, can she start a milk farm?”

“Hey, have you guys noticed that Brother Dao is really knowledgeable?”

“Knowledgeable? I haven’t noticed, I just feel like my knowledge is increasing with strange things.”

The time-sync comments in the live stream room became lively again.

Li Yidao smiled slightly as he watched the comments rapidly refreshing.

“Now, do you all understand the purpose of making paper offerings of cows and horses?”

“Today, what we need to make is a jade maiden.”

“The most common paper offerings are those of young boys and girls, which are known as golden boy and jade maiden. As the saying goes, the golden boy leads the way, and the jade maiden returns to the mountain.”

“As for the materials for making the golden boy and jade maiden, there is a certain selection. The so-called golden boy uses blue and the jade maiden uses red.”

Whoosh!

The netizens in the live stream room started to mock again!

“Just now, we were talking about cows and horses, and now we’re talking about golden boys and jade maidens?”

“Isn’t the streamer supposed to make cows and horses?”

“Brother Dao really knows how to keep the suspense. I can only give full marks for this twist!”

“Haha, Brother Dao is so skilled at this.”

As the netizens were joking around, some people asked questions. “Brother Dao, what do you mean by not drawing eyes on the doll?”

“Yes, I want to know too.”

Li Yidao noticed the questions and continued to answer while organizing the materials in his hands. “The meaning behind ‘not drawing eyes on the dolls’ is relatively easy to understand.

“There’s a saying, ‘Paper dolls with eyes will have a human-like spirit, paper horses standing still will not raise their manes. If you don’t want to be called upon by the King of Hell, don’t listen to the dolls’ laughter and the horses’ neigh.”‘

“This first sentence means that once the paper doll has eyes drawn on it, it acquires the spirit and vitality of a person, as if it has a living soul, which is considered inauspicious.”

“Actually, if you have attended funerals in the northern region and observed carefully, you would notice these basic points.”

As Li Yidao explained, some netizens responded.

“That’s really how it is! I’m at a funeral right now, and the burial is tomorrow.

There are paper dolls and paper horses, and I just went to take a look. It’s true!”

“Wow, you’re awesome, upstairs! Impressive!”

“Wow, I really learned something!”

“Yes, a picture!”

“[Paper Doll].jpg”

“Wow, it’s true! They have no eyes!”

“I’ve learned something new, I’m impressed!”

At this moment, Li Yidao had already prepared all the materials.

He adjusted the camera angle and muttered to himself, “Actually, making paper dolls is quite simple. If I were to describe the process briefly, it’s about creating the skeletal outline first, then layering paper on it, and finally drawing the facial features.’

As he spoke, Li Yidao began working on the paper dolls.

His fingers moved with incredible dexterity, leaving countless girls in awe, as if he had cast a magical spell.

The bamboo and wood in his hands danced rapidly, seeming to come alive, each piece knowing instinctively where it belonged.

Witnessing this seamless operation, the viewers in the live stream were amazed.

They commented on Li Yidao’s lightning-fast speed, asking how many years of practice had led to such skill.

“D*mn it! It’s really dazzling!”

“I saw the bamboo flying, as if it was alive.”

“Brother Dao’s hands, his speed, I really want to experience it. I feel like learning too, um…”

“Hey, sisters upstairs, get in line. I’m booking first.”

“Add me too. I don’t mind having more people. We learn faster together.”

“By the way, I didn’t even dare to blink, and then I realized Brother Dao’s work ended? So short?”

“Yeah, it is too short. It’s not enough!”

“F*ck! I can’t do it anymore! I can’t take it anymore. My eyes are wide open like light bulbs. I couldn’t even understand how Brother Dao made the skeleton!”

“It looks like I won’t be able to learn this. If I want to get one, I better just commission Brother Dao.”

Indeed, Li Yidao’s speed was truly remarkable.

In no time, a complete paper doll skeleton appeared in the live stream.

Actually, making the paper doll skeleton was just the first step and relatively simple.

However, being able to be so meticulous and fast made him truly outstanding.

Li Yidao couldn’t help feeling a bit proud.

“Alright, the paper doll’s skeleton is done. Now, let’s move on to the next step…”

“Next…”

[Sister Zhou has entered your live stream]

Li Yidao was describing the next step when suddenly someone noticed a notification.

Sister Zhou?

Sister Zhou joined Brother Dao’s live stream?

As for Sister Zhou, she originally didn’t want to come.

But seeing numerous messages from her fans, she decided to visit Brother Dao’s live stream and have a chat, just to clear up any misunderstandings.

However, she never expected to witness this.

What was going on?

What was Brother Dao doing?

She looked at the materials on the ground and the paper doll skeleton that had taken shape…

Was he… making paper dolls?

No way…

Was he making one for her?

Sister Zhou suddenly felt a chill from her feet to her head.

This Brother Dao…

Did he really want to bury her?
