A month ago, I received your letter. You wrote that Qiongqi Artificers had taken up residence in these mountains, and feared that some misfortune might befall me. It pains me to think that this worry has weighed on you so heavily that you have fallen ill and can neither eat nor drink at ease. My life is of little worth. It is not worth such anguish. You bear the burden of our household, so I beg you above all to take care of your health.
As for Qiongqi Artificers, there has never been cause for enmity between us. On the contrary, we have received kindness at their hands. The neighbors here all live in peace, so I ask that you do not trouble yourself needlessly.
And as for your urging me to come down from the mountain, I beg you to say no more of it. My wife and I have already been parted across two lifetimes. Do not make our souls be torn apart once again.
