The next morning, the doctor tries to convince Gu to go to the mountains with him, but the young man is too scared to leave. He tells the doctor that he is afraid of what will happen to him if he leaves. The doctor reassures him that medicine can help, but Gu is skeptical. He asks the doctor if there is anything wrong with his body, and the doctor replies that it seems to have something to do with his spleen and kidney. He also says that the doctor is too formal today, since they have to leave for the mountains. Gu wonders if the man who does not work will take him with him to visit his sect. He wonders why the doctor won't let him go with him. He says that he has been unconscious recently, so he hasn't had time to think about it. The next day, he says, they can go by horse, but he can't because of the rush time. He is afraid that if he stays at home, he will be humiliated.
