There was a young man of about fifteen years old hurrying down the starlit dirt road, which was silent and empty but for a few other shadowy figures darting around. On his face, there was tied a thick white cloth that covered his mouth and nose, leaving only his warm brown eyes visible. In the starlight, they seemed to glow with a bluish gleam. This was clearly Li Jun. The cloth over his nose had several rusty stains on it that looked suspiciously like blood.
It was unclear where he was headed in such a hurry. The dream followed him to the door of a good-sized round cottage. The door had a large "X" painted over it in bright red dye, a mark that looked pointedly ominous.
Li Jun stopped for a moment at the door, tightening his face cloth. Then he raised his warm fist and rapped on the wood.
"Please open the door if you are able! This is Li Jun, working with my father Chief Li's team of healers to treat the scarlet disease!"
