"She is the only female shaman in the Banwan Village. Qumei went to her one night to "ask god". It is dignified and mysterious: the red light in the box lit up the wrinkles on her face; she closed her eyes, humming some tunes. She was no different from other ordinary Bouyei women, aged with a dark complexion and loose hair hanging behind the neck and dressed in long blue sleeve clothes. After a while, she looked sleepy and constantly yawned; sometimes, she put her hand on her mouth, yawning even louder. She stood up with closed eyes and started casting spells. She held an egg with the thumb and index finger of her left hand, rubbed the white rice with her right hand, occasionally sprinkled the white rice on the egg, and muttered "tsk, um, hiss", as if she was talking to someone. She told Qumei that her soul was not in her body."
