Back at the camp, Poins and his son are having dinner. Poins tells his son that he caught a cat while out hunting and that they're going to show him the results of their training. He says that he's been training Poins since the dragon boat festival, and Poins says that the cat must have been under-cooked and poisoned by the mushroom Poins was using to train Poins. He asks Poins if he has enough tissue paper to kill the cat, and when Poins doesn't have enough, he asks his son to kill another cat with the mushroom he found. When Poins finds the mushroom, he says that it's a detoxifying mushroom, which is what the book says it is. He's so glad that he found it, because it was the only thing that made him feel alive again.
