This is at the bend of the Yellow River, in a newly risen city. Except for a few distant, dimly lit lamps, the night here is quiet, and the lingering sound of the Yellow River’s waves can be heard. On this short and precious night of stillness, a sharp bell suddenly rings out, persisting endlessly, like streaks of lightning the deep night sky, causing one’s heart to jump in fear. Glancing at his sleeping wife beside him, Tuoshiyuan stares blankly, letting the bell ring again and again, hesitating to know what to do. Because of the recent cold war between them over marital issues, his wife has, over the years, transformed from an Athena-like goddess into a fierce guardian hen. In the darkness, a slender arm still clings tightly around his neck, reminding him of a loyal sheepdog.
