You've brought me so many strange and curious records. Now that I've finally had a little time to spare, I've been checking them out one by one. Going by your notes, I seem to end up either sinking into a swamp or stumbling into a snake pit. Once, I ran into a peculiar old Daoist. I only brushed his donkey's ear, and somehow woke its master, who chased me all over the mountain. He even said, "It's the donkey that wants to chase you, not me." In the end, the donkey only stopped when it caught the scent of the ginseng I was carrying. It ate every last bit of the ginseng I handed over. Worst of all, it even chewed on my hair. It'll take ages to grow back...
You really do pick the most perilous places, don't you? No wonder every time we meet, you've got some fresh wound on you. From now on, you must take better care of yourself. Don't keep making people worry.
