In the village, many call Beisitian "the young widow," while some call her "Little Tian'er," never using her full name, which is why Ma couldn't recall it right away.
But once she remembered, she was even more confused, why go find her?
"Mom, butterflies... so many butterflies!"
Just as Ma made a sound, her youngest son Yang Chuan opened his eyes and, looking at the ceiling papered with newspapers, said he saw butterflies.
Ma immediately panicked, how could he be so feverish that he's talking nonsense!
As Yang Chuan spoke, her fifteen-year-old daughter also started mumbling, her words quick and inaudible, making no sense to Ma.
She was both anxious and frightened, worried that the fever might cause permanent damage! (*Friendly reminder: fever doesn't actually cause brain damage~)
In her anxiety, Ma began to cry, desperately pushing Yang Wulang, but he wouldn't budge. Only after shedding a heap of tears did she remember what Yang Wulang said earlier.
Go find Beisitian?
