And so, amidst the murmurs and whispers of the crowd, the Song family slunk away from Zhenbaozhai...
Physician Fu removed the embroidery needle from Jiang Segu's hand, applied medicine to it, and then took his leave.
The onlookers outside had all dispersed, and seeing that the man showed no sign of leaving, the old military doctor could only cough twice to remind him.
