After drinking a sip of tea, Old Man Li continued: “The brothers and sisters have studied well, and we are also busy picking ginseng, but in the year of their college entrance examination, my granddaughter said that before the exam, she wanted to go up the mountain to see the scenery and shout to relax. We didn’t care much about it at the time and just let her go. Both siblings were children who grew up in the mountains, and they followed us up the mountain since they learn to walk. There was no place they were unfamiliar with, so we adults were not worried at all. After learning that Li Li didn’t come back until the afternoon she went up the mountain that day, I quickly went to look for her with their father, but we didn’t see her until the evening my sweat broke down.”

Li Ke’s father, Li Dazhuang, also felt very disturbed when he remembered that scene: “At that time, my father rushed back and asked someone to take their dog ​​up the mountain with a torch to find my daughter. It was not until the middle of the night that we found the unconscious Li Li. At that time, she was lying on a rock with her legs stretched straight and her hands stretched straight to the top of her head as if it were some ritual, and she looked like a sacrifice.”

Old Man Li nodded: “At that time, we were a little confused when we saw such a situation, and we quickly carried the person back to the house. To be honest, Master Lin, our family believed in shamans. When I saw the child’s situation was wrong, I immediately invited people. The shaman in the village performed that dance to worship the Great God, but it was of no use at all.”

“At first, we thought that the shaman in the village was not powerful enough, so we invited a famous shaman from dozens of miles away, but the child still couldn’t wake up.” Old Man Li glanced at Li Ke: “At that time, my grandson was not happy anymore, he urged us to bring his sister to the hospital, and we shouldn’t be staying at home. I said that this kind of thing is useless, but he didn’t believe it. In the end, we went to the hospital in the province, but no problem was found.”

Li Ke was a little unconvinced when he heard this: “But still, it’s useless for you to look for a shaman.”

Old Man Li’s beard was fried up, and if there were no outsiders, he would have to kick his grandson out. After taking a few breaths, the old man glared at Li Ke and continued: “My granddaughter woke up suddenly after being in a coma for 108 days. At that time, everyone in the family was very happy and thought it was okay, and even comforted her that it was alright to miss the college entrance examination and that there is still a chance next year. But my granddaughter Li Li didn’t respond at all when she heard this. At this time, we realized that she seemed to have lost her soul. Although she could eat and sleep, she didn’t have any expression nor speak, like a walking dead.”

Li Dazhuang couldn’t help shedding tears when he remembered his daughter’s appearance: “It’s been 2 years now. Li Ke is now a sophomore this year, but my daughter is still like that. I feel sad when I look at her.”

Old Man Li sighed deeply: “If I knew this will happen, I wouldn’t allow her to go up the mountain that day. But then again, our family has grown up on this mountain for generations. We go up the mountain every day to collect ginseng, but we never encounter such a thing that even a shaman can’t solve.”

Lin Qingyin knew the cause and effect: “Let me take a look at the person.”
