County Magistrate Tang invited them inside to sit down and spoke to Mingli, "Go and tell the lady that I will not be coming home for lunch; bring the food box here."
He asked Manbao the pair, "Have you eaten?"
Both shook their heads.
County Magistrate Tang then said, "Bring more."
Mingli bowed and left to help them open the door.
County Magistrate Tang looked around and, not seeing any tea, poured them two cups of cooled boiled water, saying, "Just drink this for now."
Bai Shan and Manbao didn't drink and went straight to the point, "Old Master Guan must have recognized me."
County Magistrate Tang sighed, "I can't remember the matter concerning you and your father. Why can't you remember it as well?"
Bai Shan remained silent.
He had no memory of his father, how could he remember?
There was no use in saying more, and the three of them sat oppossite each other, saddened, beginning to think of solutions.
