"I was so scared. Just now, Granny Zhong forced me to drink medicine. I refused. Then there was thunder in the sky. The house collapsed. Granny Zhong was still sleeping. No matter how I pushed her, she wouldn't wake up. It was such a loud thunder. I was so scared that I couldn't even cry. Please, village chief, save me."
