At dusk, Shopkeeper Liu sent Liu Mang to escort Yang Ge back home.
All the way, Liu Mang kept looking behind him.
Yang Ge asked with curiosity, "What are you looking at?"
Liu Mang replied, "The night patrol soldiers."
Yang Ge smiled and said, "No need to look anymore. If the night patrol soldiers were to come bothering me, Fang Ke could go back to herding sheep."
Liu Mang clicked his tongue and said, "I figure no night patrol soldiers would dare to meddle with you either, but I still want to see for myself. How else do people say it's good to be an official in the capital? You've just come back and haven't even shown your face, yet someone's already taken care of everything for you. What a life… Tsk!"
Yang Ge glanced at him and chuckled, "Envious, huh?"
Liu Mang replied, "If I say I'm not, would you believe me?"
Yang Ge asked, "Earned with your life, still envious?"
After thinking it over, Liu Mang nodded and said, "That's true..."
