The hermit

The sun was bidding to leave leaving behind its red glow. Song hui was now seated on receiving hall waiting for the hermit. He was nervous thinking of failure. His grip on cup tight enough to break it any second.

Many bad thoughts started to erupt in his heart when a man in hurry informs of their arrival. With glee he stands up then calming his emotion with gentle face walks forward to welcome the man who will make him a man again.

He sees a man who had a beggar look. His clothes seemed like mad from a sack, long grown unkept hairs and beard though not smelling bad was still difficult to look at. Though disgusted he still with warm smile invites him as if inviting an ancestor.

He motioned a very nice cushioned chair for him to sit but was suprised to see when the man sat on cold floor. He knew the man was really an eccentric person.

"Great hermit, this one learned about you just this afternoon. Sincere apologies to have you rushed here and grateful for your ocean heart for willing to come.

Great hermit, shameful though this one was poisoned by my own consort in fit of her jealousy. That vile women killed my precious wife along with her fetus my supposed first born and also managed to make me an impotent.

Great hermit, I have an old mother and father to take care of, don't want to be an ingrate unable to give them grandchildren's. With ones situation cannot even present in face of public thus has been hidden by ones father.

Great hermit, please help this pitiful me. Your help is the last source of line for this one, or else it's just breathing more better to part from the realm" tearfully begs to the man opposite him while in bowing posture even managing to squeeze tears out of his eyes.

"Food.. where's the food that was said to have been prepared. The man earlier said I will get to eat lots of meat, dishes and wine.. where is it .. was he lying?" replies the man nearly choking the acting song hui.

The man was more interested in food than his story. He cursed him for being a hungry monster but on surface pretended to be sorry and soon table full of dishes and wine were placed.

The man gobbled up the food and drink like of having not eaten for years. The table manner was worst. The man had oils around his mouth and hands, the chewing sound was loud and ugly. Crumbles and pieces of meat were all around the table making song hui nearly vomit.

After drinking the wine directly from the jug and spilling on his chest and ground he gave a bid burp and was picking his tooth with his nails disgusting song hui to maximum.

"Haha.. good.. delicious.. umm not a lie.. well since you gave me good food and wine also hearing your pitiful story I have decide to cure you.

But first I have to check on your condition to find the type of the drug, it's severity and possible ways to cure you. It depends not on me but the drug type you had to know for sure if you are to be cured or not.

I will say outright that I do have knowledge in this field and I have cured many but those that I have cured were impotent from birth or having injured the birth root by accidents. Will explain you further first let me take your pulse." solemnly replies the hermit.
