The bandit asks why the doctor is sighing instead of taking care of a'cheng. A'cheng acts as if he is seeing ghosts whenever he sees the doctor. Moreover, he has locked his door so that the doctor can't enter. The doctor tells the bandit that his pupil has gone to the mountains to gather herbs. He tells the doctor that the branches of the plum trees stand at the corner of the street where he used to sell his sugarcanes. He says that his son is not silly and that he beat up the thugs who harassed him when they sold their sugarcanes at the market. Doctor miao asks the doctor if he can go to the lantern festival with his son. The kid says that he wants to go because it is the festival and he has never been to the festival before. He wants to buy the doctor some treats to celebrate the festival. He also wants to get rid of the acheng.
