Guo Shunan placed the incense stick, then went to close Grandfather Guo's door and windows. Just as she was about to leave a small crack, Guo Cong stopped her, "Didn't they say not to leave any gaps? If you leave a gap and it can't be used for three days, what then? This bit of smoke won't suffocate me, it's fine, close it all the way."
Guo Shunan had no choice but to close the door and windows tightly and leave.
And that was that—almost as soon as he smelled the incense, he started to feel sleepy. After a few more minutes, the sleepiness got stronger, and before long, he was fast asleep.
Grandfather Guo slept extremely soundly this time. Usually he woke up several times in the night, but this time he slept straight through till 8 a.m., and still hadn't woken up.
The next day.
Guo Shunan finished getting ready and went downstairs. Not seeing Grandfather Guo, she hurriedly asked the housekeeper, "Where's my grandfather? Did he go out for a walk?"
