Shen Mu, meanwhile, chattered on about his experiences in Yincan Village, about being hunted by the plumed-crested fire pheasant-dragons, about practicing his arts by the Yongjiang River. Amusing and embarrassing tales from his childhood were dredged up, embellished and exaggerated, as he did his utmost to make his mother smile.

"Your Aunt Ping'er is dead, isn't she?

Shen Mu fell silent, then said hoarsely, "Granny Zhu found me by the river.
Aunt Ping'er's body was beneath the water, holding me up on the surface. Then the river washed her away. Later, I saw her on the river; I told her I was well, and only then did she depart in peace. .
