After listening to Lao Wang's description of the symptoms, Su Ya made a preliminary judgment that Lao Wang's daughter should have a soul loss syndrome. However, this syndrome was recorded in ancient China, but it has now basically disappeared.
Moreover, this symptom usually occurs in younger children, generally under five or six years old. There is a saying that five or six-year-old children's souls are not yet complete, so they can see things that adults cannot see.
When walking at night with a five- or six-year-old child, you must keep calling his or her nickname.
They call out to the child all the way home, believing that the child's soul will follow them home. This is said to be a way of calling back the soul.
Another explanation is that when a child is excessively frightened, they will experience a strong sense of fear, and will clearly sweat profusely, cry incessantly, and lose their energy and appetite.
For this kind of situation, the hospital checkups all came back normal. The best way is to put a pair of scissors under the pillow, or place a piece of the child's clothing on the stove and then place a kitchen knife on top of it. It's said to be a way to summon the soul. Su Ya learned about this from some ancient Chinese folk tales.
The child was fine the next day.
Moreover, there were no aftereffects.
But judging from Old Wang's tone just now, his daughter must be quite old, so it is indeed a bit strange that she would suffer from amnesia.
Su Ya immediately became curious.
I want to meet Old Wang's daughter.
However, if you go there rashly, you might be mistaken for a scammer and kicked out.
So Suya decided to ride in Lao Wang's car to Daishan tomorrow.
Su Ya immediately took out her phone, called the taxi company, and asked if there was a family with the surname Wang whose daughter was in trouble. Then the other party asked Su Ya what was wrong.
Suya said that she left something on the bus while she was on the bus. Later, she remembered that the driver made a phone call while she was on the bus, which seemed to be about her daughter.
They then believed it to be true.
Su Ya quickly gave Lao Wang's phone number.
Su Ya got Lao Wang's phone number and called him.
The phone rang several times before being answered.
Hello, who are you?
"Hello, is this Master Wang? I was introduced by Master Li. I want to go to Daishan tomorrow, and I heard you're going there too. Could you give me a ride? I've asked several drivers, but none of them are going to Daishan."
Old Wang hesitated after hearing this.
He didn't expect that Lao Li would also help her get business.
Then Su Ya said, "Master Wang, I can pay double the fare, so you can come back empty-handed after one trip. Is that alright?"
Old Wang thought that if he couldn't drive tomorrow, he would lose a day's worth of work.
The family now depends entirely on him for support, and a trip to Daishan costs at least 300 Chinese dollars.
If I take this customer along, I can earn 500 RMB tomorrow. Although it's not as much as I would earn driving for a day, it's good that my own business is taken care of, and I can make some extra money.
After thinking about it, Mr. Wang agreed.
Where should I pick you up tomorrow?
"Master Wang asked."
"Master Wang, you can come to the Kelly Hotel tomorrow."
Suya gave the address.
Upon hearing this, Master Wang realized it was the largest five-star hotel in Jinan. It seemed this guest was someone with plenty of money; he figured the hotel wouldn't cheat him.
“We agreed that I would be charging by the meter.”
Master Wang emphasized this point.
“Okay, Mr. Wang, you can just use the meter when you head to my place tomorrow.”
"Okay, Daishan is a bit far, let's set off early tomorrow."
"Master Wang, what time do you think would be suitable?"
"Then let's meet at 7 a.m. I'll wait for you at the hotel entrance. But I've already mentioned that I have business to attend to in Daishan, so there will be another person in the car."
Master Wang reminded the other party that if they were unwilling, they could make plans as soon as possible.
To my surprise, the other party agreed.
"Sure, Mr. Wang, just save me a seat."
"See you tomorrow then."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Mr. Wang was still puzzled after hanging up the phone. He thought this customer was too easy to talk to. He didn't argue with anything the customer said. He really thought the customer was stupid and had too much money.
I'll be driving for most of tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early tonight.
Before going to bed, Mr. Wang went to check on his daughter again. She was still lying in bed, staring out the window, lost in thought.
Master Wang sighed and went back inside.
My wife asked, "Is our daughter still awake?"
"No, I'm still looking out the window."
"Hey, do you think going to Daishan tomorrow is a good idea? We've spent so much money on our daughter's medical treatment over the years, but there's been no result. What if it's a scam?"
My wife said with some concern.
"I believe Lao Li wouldn't lie to me."
"What if those two guests are lying?"
Master Wang was somewhat convinced, but then he thought, "It's unlikely that Old Li would run into those two customers by chance."
He sighed and continued, "Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
"Why."
Old Wang and his wife were both asleep.
They arrived at the Kelly Hotel, and Suya was still awake.
She was also thinking about what Old Li had said. Could those two guests be Master Changqing, who had deliberately arranged for them to put on a show?
But then I thought about how, when we first met, Master Changqing was dressed in rags and didn't seem like a rich man. If he hired a few shills, he would have to pay them some money. And that old Taoist priest didn't look like a rich man either.
Moreover, what a coincidence that the two guests happened to get into Lao Li's car, and Lao Li then told Lao Wang about it.
Suya didn't believe in such a coincidence.
However, Su Ya has decided that after meeting Master Changqing tomorrow, she will play it by ear and see what tricks this old Taoist is up to, and why he brought her second uncle, Su Qingsheng, up the mountain as well.
The next day, Mr. Wang and his daughter waited at the hotel entrance at 7 a.m. sharp.
A few minutes later, a girl dressed in casual clothes came downstairs. She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and was very pretty.
Then a girl walked over and asked, "Are you Master Wang?"
"Hello, I'm Mr. Wang, the driver you booked."
"right."
"Then get in the car."
When Su Ya saw the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in the back seat, she knew this must be Mr. Wang's daughter, so she opened the front door of the taxi and got in. Mr. Wang noticed the girl was dressed rather lightly and, out of concern, asked, "Miss, are you going to Daishan to see the sunrise?"
"Yes, Master Wang. Is there anything I need to do? This is my first time going to Daishan, and I don't know what I should prepare."
Then Master Wang continued, "Young lady, don't be fooled by how hot it is in Jinan now. It's extremely cold at the top of Daishan Mountain, with temperatures dropping to tens of degrees below zero."
"Oh, it's so cold!"
"Yes, you can't wear so little clothing. You'll get frostbite."
"But I didn't bring any other clothes with me when I came; all of them are this thick."
Su Ya said with a somewhat worried expression.
