On the road, during their conversation, Wang Xiaoqiang learned that although the elderly woman looked to be around sixty years old, she was actually only fifty-four. Her husband was a vendor of mountain goods, who sometimes also dug up medicinal herbs from the mountain to sell, yet he barely made any money, just barely maintaining the family finances. This spring, her husband had whimsically joined others on a trip to Changbai Mountain in the Northeast to dig for Wild Mountain Ginseng, and he was gone for several months. As a result, while he did find the ginseng, he accidentally fell off a cliff and broke his leg. After receiving treatment in a local hospital, he returned to his hometown for recovery. Unexpectedly, he fell during a rehabilitation exercise and the old injury recurred. They had no choice but to seek hospital treatment again.
