"Start from when you first met Lin Tai this afternoon,"
Ge Pingyan thought for a moment, then added another sentence: "Don't worry about whether I believe it or not, just tell everything as it is without any embellishment."
Dai Wei was somewhat surprised at the village chief's attitude; after all, most people found it hard to accept what Dai Wei said.
So, he began to recount his experience of delivering cured meat with his father to the village chief.
From delivering the cured meat to Lin's house to Lin Tai taking him to the temple to get the porcelain doll and the bamboo pole and then going out on patrol in the evening. He detailed everything from hearing the tearing sound in the mist to getting trapped in a tree and Lin Tai coming to save him.
After that, he mentioned hearing a voice that sounded like Shen Lisheng's and finally, at roll call, realizing that Lin Tai, who had originally been at the front of the group, had disappeared.
