Such a crude gadget cannot even be called a handicraft, and it has no collection value.

With a high price of seven million, does the other party know what other functions this statue has?

If the little girl the statue relates to is Meyer, everything would make sense.

After her death, she did not become a "ghost", but formed a symbiosis with the fly larvae that covered her body. In other words, those maggots were her second body.

She can freely control flies, but her soul can only parasitize on puppets.

The person who bought the puppet also took a fancy to her ability.

As her abilities increased, the puppet's appearance also changed accordingly. Over time, it transformed from a simple puppet into a gorgeous statue.

"Have you found out the identity of the puppet buyer?" Chu Yao asked.

"This is easy to check. They have records of the auctions." Fang Yutang looked embarrassed, "However, the identity of the buyer is very ordinary and there is nothing special about it."

He opened the memo on his cell phone, which contained the buyer's personal information.

This person's surname is Wang, and he is an executive of an overseas investment company.

He only obtained foreign nationality two years ago. His income is not low, but not high enough to buy a $7 million handicraft in one go.

"My client doesn't really care about the buyer. She just wants to know where the puppet in Samuel's hand came from. This puppet is of great significance to her." Fang Yutang pulled up another one from the computer. picture.

There are many similar little puppets in the picture. If you look closely, there is a slight difference, that is, each little puppet has a different flower on its head.

Chu Yao guessed: "Is this some kind of local custom or belief?"

"Yes." Fang Yutang tilted his head, "Have you ever heard of Wenhua?"

Chu Yao has naturally heard of it. Asking flowers is a very unique ritual that is only passed down in a few villages and never spread outside the country.

Flower asking can only be held and participated by women, and most of them are girls of twelve or thirteen years old, and the maximum cannot be more than fifteen years old.

The entire ceremony is organized by the "Flower Asking Mother". Her identity is very special. There is usually only one Flower Asking Girl in each village, and she is the only one who knows how to guide girls to ask for flowers, so the whole village respects her.

There is even a rule in some places that no matter what conditions are asked of Hua Po, the villagers cannot refuse.

However, the selection of Wenhua Po is also very strict and will not choose people with evil intentions.

The conditions she proposed were not to ask the villagers to offer gold, silver and jewelry, but to provide guidance on the feng shui of the village.

Every time at a specific time, Mrs. Wenhua would ask her parents to bring their daughters of the appropriate age to her house.

Before the girls come, they must bathe and burn incense, wear clothes they have never worn before, the color is mainly white, and they are not allowed to wear makeup or any accessories.

The room was dark, with only a dim oil lamp burning on the table.

In addition to the girls and Mrs. Wenhua, there will also be several parents of the girls left behind.

Wenhua Po will ask the girls to hold hands and sit around a table. There is a soft towel on the table. Each of them must first put on a blindfold and then bury their head in the towel.

With the guidance of Wen Hua Po, girls who should not be able to see anything will see a little light.

They could feel their bodies walking towards the light source. Some people had a smooth journey and quickly reached the place with light, while others could not get there no matter how hard they walked.

At this time, the flower-inquiring mother-in-law will first ask the girls who saw the light, "Have you seen the garden?", "How is the tree with pomegranate flowers growing, and does it bear fruit?", "Have you seen the flower on the crabapple flower?" No worms”…

It is said that the flowers that everyone sees are different, and those flowers represent the lives of girls.

After asking the flower lady around, the parents quickly wrote down the girls' words in their notebooks. These are flowers with code words, and they need to ask the flower lady to interpret them later.

If those girls who are trapped in the darkness still cannot walk to the garden, Asking Flower Lady will guide them back the way they came.

But they still couldn't open their eyes because the sisters holding hands with them were still in the garden.

After looking at their own flowers, ask the flower lady and ask some other questions.

For example, "Have you seen your deceased relatives?", "Did he have any unfulfilled wishes?", "Is there anything you want to convey to your family members in the mortal world?"...

Wait until all procedures are completed before the girls can raise their heads.

At this time, they had completely forgotten what they had just seen and heard, and everything could only be recorded by their parents.

Fang Yutang's client is a flower-asking woman, and the flower-asking ceremony in their village is very special.

Every time the flower asking ceremony is held, girls can see some freshly planted flowers, which represent the girls who will be born in the village in the next year.

Therefore, before every girl is born, she asks the flower lady to find out what kind of flower they have.

She would ask the girls to carve puppets, fill them with seeds or pollen of the flower, and carve the girl's nickname at the foot of each puppet.

If something goes wrong during the flower-asking ceremony, and some girls cannot find the right way back and are stuck in the dark; or if a deceased relative grabs the girl's sleeve and does not allow them to leave, this puppet becomes a stand-in. The presence.

The girl will throw the puppet into the fire pot and recite a spell. When the puppet is burned to ashes, the girl can come back smoothly.

Even for girls whose rituals go well, their puppets cannot be thrown away and must be kept on their bodies or at home.

After they die, these puppets must be returned to the next Wenhua Po.

"So, the lady who asked Huahua asked you to find this puppet and take it back?" Chu Yao asked.

"Not entirely. The girls in their village attach great importance to puppets. The fact that the puppets are wandering in other places means that the souls of girls cannot rest in peace when they die in a foreign country." Fang Yutang recalled what Hua Po said, "They think every girl is a god. The treasures given to them, without those girls, the people in the village would not be able to communicate with their deceased relatives. If the souls of these girls do not return to the village for burial, they will offend the gods and the consequences will be serious."

Obviously, the owner of the puppet is Meyer, the eldest daughter adopted by the Valentine couple, and the puppet also belongs to her.

Although Chu Yao doesn't know how she ended up living abroad, she died a long time ago.

"So, what are the consequences?"

Fang Yutang smiled bitterly. He had accepted many commissions and thought he had a strong inner endurance.

But when he saw the tragic situation in the village, he almost vomited out all yesterday's meal.
