Yan Qing carried Ling Hua on his back for fifty miles in one breath. It wasn't that he was reluctant to put her down; rather, the journey was all mountain roads and forests, brambled and thorny without a place to rest. Moreover, Ling Hua was sleeping so soundly that he hesitated and still didn't wake her up.
Indeed, taking a wife is like bringing home a big trouble.
When they arrived at the next town, Hequ Town, and the town was in sight, Yan Qing had no choice but to wake her up. He said, "Wake up."
Ling Hua had been sleeping so soundly and deeply that when Yan Qing woke her, she was still somewhat groggy, "Brother? What's the matter?"
Yan Qing said with a laugh suffused with exasperation, "What's the matter? You were sleeping quite soundly. We've arrived at Hequ Town."
