Unfortunately, Gudong's fate was somewhat different from what Dugu Yan had guessed—
In the image, the old man who once asked about whether there were seeds for sale at Gudong's vegetable stall came to the riverside and found Gudong who had been hit on the head. He dug him out from the ground and took him back to his home: a two-story tavern built next to a clearing with plains and farmlands.
The old man took the disfigured Gudong into the basement, treated him, and inserted a bag with a tube connected to it into Gudong's body, directly to his stomach, then poured some self-brewed medicinal wine into Gudong's body. In this way, he barely saved Gudong's life.
But as for the face... he could do nothing about it, so he could only put a stealing peach on Gudong, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed.
