"Don't Touch Me" The narrator tells us that his mother composed a song called "In the Apricot Blossom-Covered Village, Blows the Wind and Falls the Rain, Spring had come" and that his father loved it so much that he asked his mother to sing it to him. The narrator says that he's exhausted already, and that he took a day off today so he could stay with his father. He tells his father that he doesn't remember his mother's face now, but that this song will always be the only thing he'll remember. He says that when the river rises, he feels like his internal organs are crushed, and just before he succumbs, the water recedes to his waist again, and then it rises again. He adds that this was his favorite method of getting rid of his father's "most loyal minister" back in the day, so he should be familiar with the "water prison" . He admits that he used to be afraid of the dog, but as time passed, he no longer felt that way. All his fear turned into a desire for revenge, he says, and he says that the dog was on his side, but he didn't know if the dog had been neutered. The maid, Lu xia, saw how distressed he was, and saw that a wedding dress was going to be sent to him today. He asks who the wedding dress is for, and everyone gets confused.
