Elder Fang had spent the entire afternoon sitting on the sofa, feeling a growing sense of regret. When he saw his son return, he immediately began questioning what had actually happened.

If he would just go and ask around the neighborhood, he would realize that no one else their age enjoyed such good health and appetite.
