Sister Ami is a neighbor's big sister, her skin is so white that she can pinch out the water, her long hair has a pair of flickering eyes, and the friends in the village say that she is the best-looking fat person, especially good at dressing up, as long as she comes back from school vacation, there are a group of little sisters who ask her to help with makeup. No one has been looking for him since the last rumor, mainly because the adults in the family are not allowed to go to her, saying that there is something unclean on her. I haven't been at home this week, but I heard that I'm nourishing my body. Out of strong curiosity, I sneaked to play with Sister Ami and find out.

"Sister Ami, what's wrong with you, you haven't been to school for the past few days"

"I've been feeling unwell for the past few days, so I'm on leave" Sister Ami's face was pale, her lips were not colored at all, and she spoke weakly, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness

"I heard that you have met a ghost, is it really fake?"

"I don't remember, that day I led the old man at home to pass away, and the family held a funeral wine, and when I came back, it was like that. They said that I would talk nonsense when I went home, and I can't remember the specifics, my brain was mixed up in those days" Ami's mother came back after saying that, stewed a big pot of pigeon soup and said it was to replenish the body, and I immediately filled a bowl with me.

"Ami was scared a few days ago, and she has not recovered from a cold in the past two days," Ami's mother said worriedly.

"In a few days, someone from the village will come to do something, and my family will invite me to come," Ami's mother added.

At night when I came back from Ami's house, the wind was blowing outside at night, and I couldn't open my eyes. As soon as I came back, I felt that my nose was blocked, and I came back at night with a high fever. My grandmother put two "water covers" (in dialect, referring to hand warmers) and covered me with a thick quilt in the summer, and my head was dizzy and sweaty.

Grandma combed her short ear-length hair in the seventies and eighties, she usually didn't talk much, she was probably a good-looking person when she was young, even if she was old, she revealed a different temperament from others, and every time she went out, she cleaned up herself, and the family hated her grandmother for not being good for her grandfather, and let her grandfather do anything, and her grandfather liked to eat meat, and occasionally bought some meat to stew and eat, and her grandmother always said that her grandfather spent money indiscriminately.

"Is Little Yazi scared outside?" Grandma asked.

"Shout at him," my grandfather said hurriedly as he touched my forehead with his hand.

Soul calling is a kind of soul calling ritual in the old days. If the child is sick because of the fright, so that the soul does not possess the body, then the soul must be called to the soul to be frightened, so that the soul can return, and the disease will be eliminated. The people in the village thought that they had "lost their souls", so they shouted to the children.

Grandma went into the kitchen, put some water in the pot where the rice was cooking, then poured some water on the chopsticks, and put the chopsticks together and stood in the middle of the pot, and when the chopsticks stood firm, she poured water around the chopsticks three times. I kept reading it in my mouth: Alas, don't be scared every day, come back to sleep soon when it's dark. Grandma kept repeating this phrase.

I was dazed, my eyelids were heavy and I couldn't open them, and I fell asleep in a few moments.

The next day I woke up, and the fever had not yet subsided. I heard my grandmother and grandfather say in the kitchen: Xiao Yazi should have been scared in that position yesterday, you quickly fell the chopsticks here.
