What a strange turn of events. A big man suddenly pulled something out of his pants pocket, threw it down, and tried to run. Jing Shu, of course, caught Tan Ke and dragged him back. That's how she learned the reason: both he and his sister had been benefiting from Jing Shu's kindness for a long time. They felt ashamed and had nothing to repay her with.
After all, what doesn't Jing Shu have? What could they possibly give her?
It just so happened that while they were out herding their geese, they discovered a small duckling had mixed in with the flock. Don't be fooled by its small size; they had found it three months ago, but it never seemed to grow. Initially, Tan Ke thought it was malnourished and took great care to nurture it, but it remained small nonetheless. It ate a lot and pooped a lot, but it just wouldn't grow.
