Yuan Xiang returned home and waited until the sun set in the evening. The stars filled the sky but she didn’t see the wolf who said he would come back.
She was unsure in her heart, so she could hang yarrow in the yard. Shifu Yu Yao’s hexagram was originally his best ability. His hexagram always responded to him and it never failed. But it was Yuan Xiang’s turn. Probably because she had no talent in this area as hexagram was far less interesting and fun than talisman and array, she was very slack in learning. Out of ten times, she failed five times in starting a hexagram.
Yuan Xiang managed to get a “Tai”* (peace and stability) hexagram after three tries and eighteen changes. Although she knew that it might not be accurate, she looked at the words of the hexagram that read, “Small to big, Ji Heng (m. Little effort, big gain, auspicious and smooth).”
At last, she was a little relieved.
“Going up and down, heaven and the earth are connected and everything is connected. Xiao Nan must be safe,” Yuan Xiang bowed to the starry sky.
In the middle of the night, Yuan Xiang who had dozed on the side of the bed, vaguely heard a little movement in the yard.
She came to the courtyard after wearing her clothes, but did not find the silver-white figure.
“Have you seen Nan He coming back?” Yuan Xiang stood in front of Li Yu’s house, tapped on the roof and asked him in a low voice.
A small hand stretched out from the high-footed cabin and quietly pointed in the direction of the firewood room.
Yuan Xiang came to the door of the firewood house and through the gap in the door panel, she saw a figure with silver hair leaning on the floor of the firewood house.
“Nan He? Why are you hiding here? Are you hurt? Follow me in the house, okay?” Yuan Xiang looked around for a moment, then stretched out her hand to open the door.
“Don’t… don’t come in,” a low, hoarse voice came from the firewood room. He took a few breaths and said eagerly, “Don’t come in, let me stay here for a while. I’ll be fine soon.”
Nan He in a human form, curled up in a pile of firewood. He arched his back, bit his fingers firmly while not letting the slightest sound from his throat leak.
The throbbing of the skeletal phase came. He endured the pain and fumbled back. He wanted to go back to that person, but he didn’t want her to see him groaning in pain.
He bit his arm and endured the pain that struck him. He couldn’t whine or roll in pain. He didn’t want to be seen as weak and ugly in front of her.
Yuan Xiang stopped when her fingers were about to touch the door panel. The door panel of the wood house had a large gap and she actually saw it all.
The man was experiencing the pain of the skeletal phase. He was tortured by the pain. His back was strained, his body was in cold sweat, his fingers were firmly grasping the ground, but he would rather bite his arm than make a sound.
Yuan Xiang knew that Nan He was lonely and proud. He never wanted anyone to see his weak side.
She finally retracted her hand and sat down with her back to the wall of the wood house.
“I won’t come in. I am here with you,” she whispered across the board.
The boundless pain made Nan He’s consciousness about to collapse.
He vaguely felt that he was floating in the air and he saw the pale himself curled up on the ground. This was probably an image that only he could see. The powerful and unparalleled star power slowly fell across the sky, dragging a long tail, falling into his pale and trembling body one by one.
The mighty and domineering power of the stars was changing his body little by little and his own body was beginning to collapse, being replaced by the bright starlight.
Outside the room, a human sat with her back facing him across a wall.
She leaned against the wall, with her face held up, looking at the stars in the night sky like him.
Nan He fell back from the erratic state and woke up. The huge pain once again annihilated him like a tide.
The human outside sighed softly and chanted a strange spell softly.
She slowly chanted and there was a faint low voice in the air. The ethereal chanting sound was like a spring of ice, flowing past his body that was about to be burned, caressing his scarred heart. The voice was healing everything, comforting his vicissitudes of wandering for many years just to give the lone wolf a warm home.
It was getting bright. Sun rays entered the cold room through the gap in the door panel.
Nan He opened his eyes and sweat rolled off his forehead, blurring his vision. He faintly saw the figure sitting outside the door in the fragrance of the morning sun. All of this was real, not his lonely fantasy in a dark tree hole, that person truly stayed beside him. She was close and guarded him all night.
The long night passed. The sun rose in the east and the door of the wood house was finally pushed open. A shining silver Sirius walked out of the door. The silver hair floated with his vigorous steps, as if stars were scattered along the way.
Yuan Xiang rubbed her eyes. The silvery white Sirius changed and became her favorite little hairy dumpling. It ran forward, hesitated and finally pulled on her knees and curled into her arms.

Tai hexagram: The content of the hexagram is to transcend the limits of existence (artifacts) in order to reach the Dahua real state of nothing. Only by breaking through the rigidity of “organs” can we see the vitality of life. Only by comprehending the authenticity of Tao can the harmony of the group be unblocked. The Tai hexagram is the eleventh of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes.
