"How can ghosts not have hands? Ghosts are all transformed from humans. Humans have hands, so ghosts naturally have hands too." Old Mrs. Xu stirred the dried meat and yam porridge, took the bowl handed to her by Zhang and began to serve. As she served, she continued to talk to Xu Ning: "Just like you, haven't you seen gods?
