The old lady's story was too incredible. Deep down, Chen Lin and Mrs. Li didn't believe a word of it.
But the old lady, looking like she'd just been fished out of the water, was so terrifying they didn't dare hesitate.
Besides, the old lady had even shooed the old man out, telling him to hurry up the mountain to find people, so Chen Lin dared not take her words lightly.
The couple left the courtyard. When they saw his father heading to the kitchen to light a torch, they stopped dawdling and hurried off to find the mischievous kids Shou'an had been playing with.
After walking for a while, their pace slowed. Mrs. Li looked at Chen Lin's dark, brooding back and asked quietly in the pitch-black night, "Dear..."
Chen Lin didn't even stop walking, just answered impatiently, "What is it?"
"Our family's old lady... can she really... commune with spirits?"
