The First Part: Miao Village Mysteries" Chapter Three, Section Three
And so, I became a proud member of the People's Liberation Army. After a grueling month of basic training, our new recruits had a live ammunition shooting exercise (the only one we would have, with just two bullets per person). Due to our lack of preparation for the recoil of the Type 95 rifle and our inexperience with live ammunition, few of us managed to hit the targets at a distance of one hundred meters. Seeing the poor marksmanship of the new recruits, the division's staff officers shook their heads in disappointment. Our company commander was filled with embarrassment, and our faces turned red as we bowed our heads in shame.

The First Part: Miao Village Mysteries" Chapter Three, Section Two
After many years, my mother still talked to me about the scene from that time. She said, "You couldn't write at that time, and when you saw his clenched fist, you just laughed uncontrollably. Later, your grandfather found a piece of charcoal and had you draw on the ground. You did it with precision, drawing a character '人' (person) effortlessly. Your grandfather's high-level friend, the one who later did the fortune-telling for your third uncle, clapped his hands and laughed heartily. When he opened his palm, it was exactly the same '人' character. Your grandfather was baffled at first, but then the high-level friend explained that you were born with a special gift, capable of seeing the spiritual world, and even communicating with ghosts and spirits."

Furthermore, about my grandfather, after experiencing these ups and downs, he lay in bed for a month before recovering. This time, he didn't try to arrange a wife for my third uncle. Instead, he secretly had a fortune teller analyze my uncle's birth chart. The divination contained just two sentences: "A single goose flies from the south, and mandarin ducks are hard to pair." In plain terms, it meant that my third uncle had a rare destiny of repelling wives.

Book One, Miao Village Witch Ancestor, Chapter Two, Section Two
The village chief, known for his sharp ears, heard the accountant mocking him and couldn't help but get furious. He rushed over, grabbed the accountant by the collar, and gave him a resounding slap. "Who the hell are you insulting?" The two of them started wrestling. The head of security, who was on good terms with the accountant, saw him in trouble and joined the fight against the village chief, making it a two-on-one brawl. The women's association head couldn't stand it (rumor had it that she and the village chief had a private relationship), and with a loud "ao" sound, she jumped onto the head of security, scratching his face with her fingernails, leaving ten bloody marks. Those who had a good relationship with the village chief and the accountant also joined the battle. For a moment, there was chaos in my grandfather's yard, with cries and shouts filling the air.

Two months later, my third uncle took a leave from the army to take the new third aunt to a large hospital in the city for prenatal check-ups. As the long-distance bus my third uncle was on entered the station (at that time, long-distance buses drove very fast, and the driver's pay was tied to the number of trips), he saw that the new third aunt was already standing on the platform.

I followed Jasen down the stairs. It had been thirty nights and thirty days of being trapped in this house, and I was starting to lose count. The drugs they continually forced on us didn’t help with my sense of time–many days, it was a struggle to hold onto the reality of what was happening.

The Flare
They had a tent and some supplies but were stuck on the ice. It was flat as far as the horizon in every direction. The sky was cloud-covered and they were not sure if it was day or night, it was a permanent twilight that they were caught in. They were cold and tired and lost.
