Taoist Doctor

"The Great Doctor" Shen Zhiwei was dealing with an urgent server failure when she received a call from her father in Shenzhen. Her father's voice on the phone was as calm as usual, and he only said a few words: "Your grandpa left something for you. It's in the attic of the old house. Wear it close to your body." She did not pursue the question. Hang up the phone and continue staring at the error log on the screen. That night, she had a dream. In the dream, her father was sitting on a bamboo chair by the patio of the old house, with his back to her. A dark shadow was wrapping around his neck. She rushed over and reached out to grab it, but her hand passed through the dark mist and caught nothing. At four o'clock in the morning, she booked the earliest high-speed train. The old house in Shaoyuan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The mountains behind are the remnants of the Luoxiao Mountains. There is a mountain stream in front of the door with the sound of gurgling water. When she opened the courtyard door, the beans on the sunbathing flat were still draped on bamboo poles, and a few hens were digging at the base of the wall. Father was lying on the bed, facing the wall. When she squatted by the bed and held his hand, someone outside the window was knocking on the door she couldn't see. She didn't know where that door led. I don't know what my grandfather left behind. I don't know why my father said on the phone, "Wear it close to your body." She just came back. And that road was already unfolding under her feet.
