On the other side, Wang Daniu hurried his steps toward the village chief's house, for only an urgent matter would prompt someone to come and call for him.
Wang Daniu had thought that maybe a patient's condition had changed.
Upon arrival at the village chief's home, he found two new faces: a portly middle-aged man and a foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The foreign woman was particularly striking, dressed in a black robe with a white hat, the attire of a Western church nun.
Wang Daniu couldn't help but give her a second glance. What could a nun be doing in this semi-secluded mountain village?
The village chief greeted Wang Daniu, "Taoist Priest, let me introduce you. This middle-aged man is Director Li from the town health bureau, and this lady is Oriana, a nun from the town's church."
