Everyone was terribly shocked. How on earth could his leg break again in the middle of the night? Could it have been from falling off the bed? But everyone has fallen off a bed at some point, especially the younger kids who take a tumble now and then. But no one has ever heard of breaking a leg from falling off a bed.
The old lady of the Bai Family said it was the other leg, the good one, that had broken. What on earth was Bai Sanlang's leg made of, that it was so fragile? Could it have been made of tofu? Many people instantly recalled the incident where Sanlang had wasted a cart-load of tofu.
Sanlang's screams of agony began to rouse half the residents of Mountain Village. As his wailing persisted, quite a few people found it impossible to sleep and decided to go and ask if they ought to find a doctor.
