Since the Host had admirable medical skills, Han Yu naturally sought them eagerly, and how could he be unwilling? He hastened to say, "Please, Little Monk, lead the way."
It was also good luck for Han Yu and Su Wenyue that not all little monks are the same. The one leading them had grown up by the side of the Host from a young age, and his status was different from the other little monks in the temple. It was he who suggested inviting the Host to treat Su Wenyue. Otherwise, the other little monks might not know to do so, and even if they did, they might not dare to make the suggestion. Even in a temple where the Buddha teaches the equality of all beings, not everyone is treated as equal.
The Host had always kept the little monk by his side because he saw that the boy was kind-hearted, with a clear and pure mind. It was not surprising to him to see the little monk bringing visitors his way.
