And so, Xiao Yu came to live with the kind Ah Mi and the old granny.
Because Ah Mi was worried that Xiao Yu might have some internal injuries invisible to her, as soon as Xiao Yu could get out of bed and walk, Ah Mi immediately took her to see Uncle Changqing, the only one on the island skilled in the Medical Arts.
In Ah Mi's memory, Uncle Changqing had always been a very serious middle-aged uncle ever since she could remember, and though she was now twenty-one, Uncle Changqing's appearance seemed to have never changed.
Uncle Changqing's real name was Li Changqing, and he lived on the other side of the island. He seldom went out, spending most of his time shut inside his home, only leaving to collect herbs. And he was a strange man—unless it was an old person about to breathe their last, he would not go out to see any patients, which was why Ah Mi had waited for Xiao Yu to be able to leave the bed before bringing her over.
"Uncle Changqing! Are you home?"
