At that time, she lay in bed and listened to Aunt Lige talk about some things in the past, such as the scenes of Lige's life in the mountain village when she was young, the wild boars, monsters, foxes, etc. in the mountains, as well as Aunt Lige's own childhood stories with her brothers and sisters, what they would play with, etc. These made Melu listen with relish, and lying in bed was not so boring.
