was empty. Suddenly a bold idea struck my mind.
“Sister Fu, let me help Bao. My Tutor knew this disease, he taught me to make a drink form chicken entrails and field mushrooms, which, I know for sure, will cure Bao.”
‘Talisman’ gave me a glance, or rather looked through me, which made me feel cold in the pit of my stomach. Then she smiled and said, “Well, this is why you came here. Very well, let it be the way you want it.” And she slowly started packing her things into the basket. Then she looked at me again and said, “I invite you to attend my lecture. The pupils here are sweet.”
We decided to postpone the talk with the parents of Bao and with Bao herself until the night. Mister Chen ordered us not to disturb him until night too. Missus Fan was still sleeping. Sister Fu ordered us to invite Bao to attend the lecture too.
Chapter Five
Take the opportunity to pilfer a goat
The elder girls got together in the practicing room. They were cheerfully chatting. I noticed little sachets filled with rather big – the size of a dove’s egg – burnished pebbles of various colours. Everyone had five pebbles: blue, red, yellow, green and white.
The most challenging task was to correctly locate the pebbles in their jade chambers – so that each pebble matched the associated organ. The sensitivity of the jade chamber had to be such that each girl could feel the ‘energy’ of the pebbles.
The blue pebble (however, not always was it of really blue colour, as each girl had a unique date of birth, and the pebbles where chosen to match her Zodiac sign, and to match the amount of energy of each organ, reducing or re-enforcing it), had to be located right at the entrance to the jade chamber, in the place where the outer petals of the bud open and embrace the energy of the pebble. The next was to be the green pebble – the eyes of the liver, and still further the yellow one, which embodied the golden trabeculae of the spleen; still further, closer to the inner gate of the jade chamber, on both the sides of the entrance, was the place for the red and the white pebbles, like flame, which added pink tint to a white lily and turned it into a lotus (the heart which gives love, and the lungs, which give life).
