This chapter opens with the sound of a "dingdingding" . It's the voice of a lantern, and it's telling the audience that something's wrong with the guy. He's not sure what's going on, but he's pretty sure that the woman in front of him is trying to control him. The lantern tells the kid to look at the woman, but the kid can't figure out what to do with himself. He thinks that she's just trying to get him to bewitch her. The kid says that he was just looking at a woman, and that's why he was so happy to be "bewitched" by the woman. He doesn't know why, but it seems like the woman is using the "zither" to get the people in the area to do what she wants
