Water Margin
Authorship not stated
A woman is crying behind the partition and the jokes stop. You play Major Lu, drinking in a Weizhou tavern, and the story that comes out is a butcher who offered help after a burial, claimed the daughter on a false promise, cast her out, and still collects a debt her family never received. You empty your purse to get them through the east gate before dawn. The daughter asks you not to turn their danger into a spectacle. By morning you are crossing the bridge toward his stall.
