As the soldiers watched, stunned, Uncle Fu unfastened his shirt and stripped it off. He was bare to the waist, his upper body emaciated and frail; it would not be an exaggeration to call him skin and bones. But that wasn't what truly shocked them. What shook the soldiers to their core were the countless, crisscrossing scars that covered his body!
One in particular, running diagonally from his left shoulder all the way down to his abdomen, was the most terrifying. It looked like a giant centipede clinging to Uncle Fu's withered frame—absolutely gruesome!
Uncle Fu slowly turned around. His back, though covered in the wrinkles of old age, was completely free of scars!
