"Why?" Tang Li asked curiously. "Can't we take this path?"
"The retarded girl's house is over there. She doesn't let anyone go near her house. Otherwise, she will bite people when she sees them."
"Does she normally bite?"
"She doesn't normally bite, but she'll bite when someone is near her house."
Seeing that Mrs. Li looked very worried, Tang Li decided to take a different path.
After they walked for a while, they saw a woman with disheveled hair and colorful clothes squatting by the canal, picking chrysanthemums and sticking them on her head. She was singing a song that no one understood.
Mrs. Li quickly told Tang Li, "Miss Tang, she's the retarded girl we told you about."
Tang Li looked at the woman opposite her. She was facing them sideways. Her messy hair covered her entire face, so her face could not be seen.
"Miss Tang, let's go. Otherwise, she will scare you later."
