A month passed quickly at the Ginkgo Sanctuary, and Anji woke up one morning to the sound of someone chopping wood.
That was strange. The wood chopping was usually done by those residing in the northern district and carried here once a week. Curious, she peeked out of the window, expecting to find someone there or her shifu.
"Wooden dolls?" Anji could not conceal her surprise when the 'person' cutting wood turned out to be the life-sized wooden puppets used in the training ground. What was it doing here? More importantly, Anji did not recall that they could independently chop wood.
Washing up and making her bed quickly, Anji bundled her hair without brushing it. Clambering down the big redwood tree, Anji eventually reached the ground and cautiously walked up to their new woodcutter.
Seeing how the wooden doll did not sense her as a threat and continued its job mindlessly with a huge pile of unchopped wood at the side, Anji took a closer look at the unique doll.
