As she said this, I was wearing an eye mask, tightly gripping my blind cane with both hands, trying to adapt to the darkness in front of me. There were sounds from all directions, but I couldn't distinguish the direction and could only stumble forward. When Ma Yinqing heard me shout loudly every step of my way, asking "Is there a roadblock ahead?" "Am I walking right or not?" "Is it time to turn?"
