Upon seeing Lin Xi, Aunt Cai first greeted Lin Xi, then quickly turned to the girl and said...

"Nannan, quickly call Master Lin."

Unfortunately, the girl named Nan Nan did not react at all, but just looked at Lin Xi with a pair of quiet eyes.

Aunt Cai, feeling both embarrassed and anxious, immediately explained to Lin Xi.

"Master Lin, don't be angry. Nan Nan didn't mean to not greet you. She's just been acting strangely lately."

Lin Xi wouldn't get angry over such a small matter. She looked at Nan Nan and found that she had no yin energy and all three souls and seven spirits were present.

However, her earth spirit is somewhat unstable.

The Earth Soul controls a person's wisdom and ability to understand and perceive the outside world. It is because the Earth Soul is unstable that Nan Nan has become so "dull" and has no reaction to anything in the outside world.

Logically speaking, without the involvement of ghosts or evil spirits, a person's three souls and seven spirits should not have any problems.

Especially judging from Nan Nan's appearance and physique, she is a relatively healthy person, and there is no possibility that her three souls and seven spirits would have problems on their own.

So Nan Nan's situation is a bit strange.

If it wasn't the work of ghosts or monsters, could it be that it was done by humans?

Since Aunt Cai came to her, she must know something.

So Lin Xi asked Aunt Cai about the girl in front of her.

Aunt Cai first brought out a chair for Nan Nan to sit down.

Nan Nan was like a puppet, without any of her own thoughts or ideas. When Aunt Cai told her to sit down, she sat down.

He sat down without saying a word, continuing to stare blankly ahead.

After settling Nannan in, Aunt Cai sighed heavily and began to recount what had happened to Nannan.

The girl in front of me, Nan Nan, is not actually Grandma Cai's granddaughter or relative; she is just a child from the same village as Grandma Cai.

Nan Nan is eighteen years old and is currently a senior in high school. She has always had excellent grades since elementary school and has consistently ranked among the top three in her class in exams.

If nothing unexpected happens, this child will definitely be able to get into a top university.

Although Aunt Cai and her family have settled in the city, it is still convenient for them to go back to their hometown because they have relatives there. In addition, her hometown is in a nearby town.

Therefore, Aunt Cai would go back almost every few days.

She also has a grandson who is about the same age as Nannan, but his grades are far worse than Nannan's.

When Aunt Cai went back to her hometown, she often brought her grandson with her. Her grandson and Nan Nan were about the same age, and since both children had good personalities, they easily became friends.

Of course, the most important thing is that Nannan has good grades and is sensible and obedient. People of Aunt Cai's age like this kind of well-behaved child.

So every time she goes back to her hometown, she makes a point of seeing Nan Nan and talking to her.

Nan Nan knew that Aunt Cai was kind to her, so every time she saw Aunt Cai, she would bring her water and food, and do whatever she could to help her.

These past few days, her grandson will be on holiday soon, and she was also going back to her hometown to visit relatives, so she asked her grandson if he wanted to come back with her.

Her grandson agreed, because Nan Nan had previously told him on a chat app that she wanted to see their school's review materials.

Nan Nan's high school is in the town, and the teaching staff is not as good as those in the city. However, she is diligent and inquisitive, and occasionally she will discuss her studies with Grandma Cai's grandson and look at their review materials.

The two children have been friends for many years, so Grandma Cai's grandson naturally wouldn't be stingy with his review materials.

He originally wanted his grandmother, Aunt Cai, to bring it to Nannan when she went back to her hometown, but then he realized that there were still a few things he wasn't clear about, so he decided to go back to his hometown with his grandmother and ask Nannan if she could explain them to him.

So the grandfather and grandson went back to their hometown together.

After returning to her hometown village, Aunt Cai immediately went to visit relatives, while her grandson went to deliver review materials to Nan Nan.

Aunt Cai was quite at ease with the two children, especially since Nan Nan's home was in the village, only a few minutes' walk from her relative's house where she was currently staying.

She had originally planned to call her grandson around dinnertime and ask him to come over.

Unexpectedly, she had only exchanged a few words with her relatives and hadn't even gotten into the mood when she received a call from her grandson.

Grandma Cai thought he had forgotten something, but as soon as the call connected, she heard her grandson ask where she was and say he was coming to find her.

Aunt Cai was puzzled when she heard this and asked him if he had said he was going to deliver review materials to Nan Nan and ask her some questions.

The grandson replied dejectedly.

"Nan Nan's mother said she is sick and is resting in her room now."

The person was sick; how could he possibly go in and bother them?

So he handed the review materials to Nan Nan's mother and then left Nan Nan's house.

Unable to discuss and study together, he naturally had no choice but to go to his grandmother.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cai immediately became worried.

The main reason is that she has watched Nan Nan grow up since she was a child. Although she doesn't know what illness Nan Nan has, she hasn't even left her room, so her illness must be quite serious.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the college entrance examination will be held in a few months after the New Year.

Getting sick at this crucial juncture, I hope it won't have any negative consequences.

Aunt Cai became more and more worried. In the end, she said a few words to her relatives and then went to Nan Nan's house.

Since she knew the child was sick, how could she not go and visit him?

On the way back, she ran into her grandson, so she took him with her and continued on to Nan Nan's house.

Nan Nan's family is of average means, and besides her, she also has a younger brother who is one year younger than her.

Both children are in high school, and their parents make a living by doing odd jobs and farm work. Life is not very comfortable.

Before visiting, Aunt Cai had already prepared red envelopes.

This is both a matter of social etiquette and a way for her to show concern for Nannan's illness, hoping that she can use the money to buy something she likes to help her recover.

When they arrived at Nan Nan's house, Nan Nan's mother greeted Aunt Cai with a smile, just like before.

Aunt Cai was preoccupied with Nan Nan's situation and didn't bother with pleasantries, so she went straight to asking.

"I heard Nan Nan is sick. What's wrong with her? How is she now?"

Nan Nan's mother's polite smile faltered. She probably knew Cai Da Ma's personality; she wouldn't leave until she understood the truth.

So she could only tell Aunt Cai about the situation.

"Oh dear, we don't really know what's wrong with this girl. She was fine a few days ago when she was on holiday, but one morning she suddenly became mentally impaired."

Has he become stupid?

What does this mean?

At first, Aunt Cai didn't understand what Nan Nan's mother meant. It wasn't until she went into Nan Nan's room and saw Nan Nan that she realized what it meant to "become stupid".

The once clever and quick-witted girl now shows no reaction even when someone enters the room. She sits blankly against the headboard, her eyes open but unfocused.

Aunt Cai was startled; something really did seem wrong!

She went over and called Nan Nan a few times, but Nan Nan didn't respond, and didn't even turn her eyes.

Aunt Cai became increasingly worried as she looked at the child, and quickly asked Nan Nan's mother if she had taken Nan Nan to see a doctor.

Nan Nan's mother looked troubled as she spoke.
