When it came to food, Long Ting\u2019s eyes lit up.<\/p>\n

He immediately ran to the backyard.<\/p>\n

The chickens raised by his master were kept in the backyard and allowed to roam freely. His master always said that free-range chickens were the most delicious.<\/p>\n

Watching the little guy\u2019s back, the old doctor muttered, \u201cThis little foodie\u2026 the moment chicken is mentioned, he forgets all about asking about his parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stood up and followed after him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaster is old and has lost all his teeth. I don\u2019t eat chicken legs anymore, so I\u2019ll let you have both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long Ting turned his head and said, \u201cDoesn\u2019t Master still have a full set of teeth? Chicken legs are full of meat and taste great. You always said they\u2019re the best part of the chicken. How can you not eat them when you still have all your teeth?\u201d<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t mind at all. He only planned to eat one chicken leg and give the other to his master.<\/p>\n

The old doctor replied, \u201cMy mouth is full of dentures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, Master Gong can still eat chicken legs. But if he won\u2019t, I\u2019ll call him and tell him an old lady keeps visiting you and says she wants to live with you in your old age.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old doctor scowled. \u201cYou little rascal! If you dare call your master and say that, I\u2019ll punish you!\u201d<\/p>\n

There really was an old lady who came by every few days, insisting she wanted to move in and grow old with him.<\/p>\n

But he was already old himself\u2014and he had no interest in sharing his life with a partner now.
\nHe had apprentices, a group of old friends, and many nephews\u2014all of whom were very filial. One of his apprentices, whom he treated like a daughter, had given him a little grandson. That grandson now stayed by his side day and night.<\/p>\n

He was not lonely and had no need to live with anyone.<\/p>\n

In his youth, he never married. Even in middle age, he never considered it. After taking in an apprentice, he dedicated himself to raising her and never thought about finding a mother for the child.<\/p>\n

Now that he was retired, it was finally time to enjoy life. Why would he trouble himself with finding a companion?<\/p>\n

Who knew what hidden motives someone might have?<\/p>\n

He was certain there was more to it, and in any case, he didn\u2019t want to live with anyone.<\/p>\n

He had already changed the formation at the entrance of Medicine Valley. From now on, the old lady who wanted to marry him and spend her old age with him would no longer be able to enter.<\/p>\n

But this matter had to be kept from his disciple.<\/p>\n

That child had always wanted to find him a \u201cmaster\u2019s wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Long Ting stuck out his tongue playfully. \u201cSo Master-shi gets scared sometimes too!\u201d<\/p>\n

The old doctor gave him a light knock and said, \u201cYou little rascal, now you\u2019re even learning to threaten your master.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy master wouldn\u2019t let me show respect by giving you both chicken legs, so I told him. I was afraid he\u2019d think I wasn\u2019t taking good care of you and wanted an old lady to accompany you. It\u2019s perfect\u2014I\u2019ll just tell him everything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, alright! Two chicken legs. One for you, one for me. That settles it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGo catch a chicken\u2014don\u2019t pick one that\u2019s too big. We\u2019re roasting it in the kiln, so a smaller one is better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just a grandfather and his grandson\u2014too large a chicken would be too much.<\/p>\n

Long Ting happily agreed and ran off to catch one.<\/p>\n
