Paper Doll Seeks Child
Have you heard of the paper doll for seeking a child?
It has a baby girl's body, bamboo as bones, and paper as clothing.
Bamboo strips cross the baby's body, white paper covering the whole body, forming a paper doll, with eyes drawn on.
Then it is thrown into the fire and burned, and the baby girl dies.
The next pregnancy will be a baby boy.
My sister-in-law's first pregnancy was a baby girl,
My mother held bamboo strips, staring straight at the newborn baby girl.
I knew, my sister-in-law would give birth to a baby boy in the next pregnancy.

Spirit Doll
My hometown is a well-known wealthy village.
Every household has tall buildings, with savings of at least tens of thousands.
No one would believe that decades ago, this place was a poor village with starving people everywhere.
Because it produces puppet dolls, or rather—
Spirit dolls.
Nourished daily by yin blood, a spirit doll takes eighteen years to form.
One day missed, it fails; one day extra, it suffers loss.
A perfect spirit doll can fetch a price close to a million.
However, on the day I came of age, the village's revered spirit doll came to life.

Mysterious Incidents in the Immortal Realm
In our village, there is an unwritten rule that when a son turns eighteen, the father must be thrown into the sea to feed the sea turtles.
According to legend, the Daiyu Island where our village is located is a rootless immortal island. There are three giant turtles under the island, one carrying the island while the other two wait below, exchanging roles every ten thousand years, taking turns to bear the burden.
In order to ensure that the giant turtles fulfill their duties, the village throws a person into the sea to feed the turtles every three months, and the person chosen to feed the turtles is selected from among the sons who turn eighteen.
