Among these ideas, the one that left a deeper impression was suggested by an aunt. She even asked Li Zhaodi to give it a try, saying that Mu Jingzhe might have been harmed by a ghost or an old grandma who had died in the village.
The old grandma seemed to have passed away because of a lung disease or some other illness. It was said that she had coughed out blood, so this auntie suspected that Mu Jingzhe had been targeted by this ghost.
Such a theory had been circulating in Great Eastern Village for a long time. Therefore, whoever suddenly fell sick would think along the same lines if they weren't cured after taking medicine. They would try to place an egg or coin in a bowl and see if it would stand upright. If it did, it would be true.
Next, they had to send this ghost away. After sending the ghost away, one would recover from their illness.
