The young boy rides the wind away,
Joyful in the mountain glade.
The rogue rabbit speaks of magic herbs,
A chance for luck in Fenxia Mountain.
After returning home, Qin Tian remained unconscious, his body covered in grime and emitting a sour stench. Qin Zhongming threw him onto the wooden bed in his small room. He had intended to let the boy have a meal and a bath before sleeping, but no matter how he called out, the boy would not wake. Frustrated, the man had no choice but to leave him be.
Qin Tian did not wake until noon the next day, stirred by a faint, lingering odor. He looked around, seeing nothing suspicious, until he noticed his filthy arms. He brought them to his nose and sniffed. A sharp, pungent scent assaulted his senses. He sprang up with a start and dashed toward the side room, shouting as he ran:
"Mom, Mom! I stink to high heaven! I want to take a bath."
