But although Di Tou was unwilling, there was nothing he could do! That was just how life was sometimes; no matter how much you detested something or found a situation unpleasant, you just had to bear with it as it was beyond your power to control. All you could do was do your best and make preparations so that when an opportunity did come along, you could quickly grasp it.
In Di Tou's case, he spent roughly half a month trapped underground. It couldn't be helped, Di Tou wanted it to be faster, but all of his medicinal pills had been burned up and disappeared, and even if he still had them on hand, the quality of the medicine he owned wasn't enough to impact such an injury.
