Man Yuanyi said gravely, "This is a cat's tail. Cats have nine lives. When someone dies in a family, cats, dogs, and other animals must never be allowed to wander around the body. Otherwise, the body is likely to resurrect and kill several people to be buried with it. And now, someone has placed a cat's tail next to Huo Yan's body and used ash and straw paper to retain moisture.
