The three old ladies walked together harmoniously. If nothing unexpected happens, the next witch doctor will be chosen from among them.
Grandma Ming said to the other two, "If Ah Xiang hadn't been chosen as the witch doctor, perhaps we wouldn't have come to this."
The witch lady didn't know about the former witch doctor, so she didn't say anything.
Another old lady with flowers sighed, "The old witch doctor once said that young females are not suitable to be witch doctors. Only today do I understand the intention behind it." Because she was young, she could not resist all kinds of temptations. Ah Xiang died under her own desires.
From the moment she forced Yi Yi to keep the child, her heart lost its balance.
The witch listened quietly and sighed with regret in her heart, knowing that she had no chance of winning. These two people were no worse than her, and the tribe leader would definitely choose one of them to be the witch doctor.
The three of them chatted all the way, as if they were friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Then they went their separate ways and returned to their own residences. They avoided talking about who would be the witch doctor in the future.
Later, Wen Te and Shu Yue found Grandma Ming's residence. It was a hide tent that was only big enough for two people. The hide used to make the tent was badly worn and would be scrapped at most after this winter.
I heard that after Grandma Ming's partner died two years ago, she has been living alone, relying on relief from the tribe and occasional compensation for fortune-telling for the tribesmen, and has survived the past two years on her own.
When Shu Yue heard this, she was truly impressed. As long as Chinese women have hands and feet and work hard, they will never starve to death. In fact, those who are more ambitious can live no worse than men.
But the females here are different. They don't have sharp claws and cannot hunt. They have to survive on their own for two years. You can imagine how hard it is, especially for an elderly person.
Grandma Ming in the tent heard footsteps and asked, "Who's outside?"
Wente said, "Grandma Ming, it's me, Wente. Can we come in?"
Granny Ming didn't seem surprised by their arrival. "Come in."
Shu Yue followed Wen Te into the tent. The light inside was very dim. Apart from some daily necessities, there was only a stone slab covered with hay. The tent exuded a damp smell that came from not seeing the sun for a long time.
Grandma Ming looked at them calmly, "You are here to comfort yourself, right?"
Shu Yue was surprised and asked, "Grandma, how did you know?"
Grandma Ming shook her head and smiled. She didn't explain, but said, "I know everything you two sisters have done for the tribe. Do you have Shuxin's hair? If so, I can help you find it."
Shu Yue was slightly stunned. "Hair? Can something else do it?" It was not certain that hair could be found.
Grandma Ming shook her head. "You have to be careful with what you have on you, otherwise you won't be able to find it."
"Is that so? Then let's go back and look for it!" Shu Yue hurriedly asked Wen Te to send her to Lei Te's house, praying that there would be scattered hair on the other's bed.
As long as Rhett doesn't make the bed, there is a high probability that the hair will be found. Women with long hair will lose hair to some extent, so it is not difficult to find.
Shu Yue hurried into the cave. When she lifted the door curtain, she was startled by the figure inside. She patted her chest and said, "Rhett, why didn't you say anything when you came back? You almost scared me to death!"
Lei Te was alone in the cave, thinking about the female. When he saw them coming, he asked quietly, "What are you doing here?"
Shu Yue said, "I'm here to look for my sister's hair. Grandma Ming knows how to tell fortunes. With my sister's hair, she can tell where I am now. Then we'll know where to look for me."
