Overview
Uhn Hah and her nurse find a lighted hut while travelling at night. Its old occupant addresses her by her female identity despite her male clothes, says that he has been expecting her, and gives her a large pill that will confer unusual strength and courage. Both travellers sleep; in the morning the old man and hut have vanished, leaving only trees overhead. Uhn Hah interprets him as a messenger from heaven and gives thanks. His disappearance is narrated, but that precise divine identity is her conclusion; no personal name, immortal rank or nonhuman anatomy is supplied.
