Pei Ye honestly escorted the young girl to the Mount Tai Medical hut's large medical tower in Shaolong, without uttering another word.
However, the others at the hut were very warm and polite, which set Pei Ye at ease, and he decided to stay there according to the government officials' suggestion, to be looked after.
The hut provided a very nice room, on the top floor, facing the wind and moon. After Pei Ye took his medicine, he sat on the couch by the window and looked out at the countless rain-washed, green-black rooftops that were unevenly scattered and almost endless against the clear sky.
The black cat sat on the windowsill and suddenly recited softly, "The autumn sky is full again with the moon; The city ramparts at night are layered thousandfold. A traveller in exile should be drunk for long, Lest he dreads the morning bells and their solemn song."
