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?" She laughed and said, "You've known me for so long, why are you still so cowardly?" Yes, I'm too cowardly. Even though I've walked a lot of road with her, my own vision
