Shuelsai says, discounting the apparent danger. If the rude man keeps the People away from the Mother's shrine then he must surely be an evil blight indeed. Perhaps once he ventured to the shrine Mother would clear everything up, and let Shuelsai go home to his children. He just hoped his hut was still in one piece!With or without instructions, Shuelsai gets in his boat and poles or tows it upriver with the thought that the river must surely lead toward the mountain or at least into the highlands surrounding the mountain. Plus, if he left his boat in the village the hermit would surely burn it, steal it, or plant asps underneath his sleeping mat.More determined than ever, Shuelsai finishes his preparations and leaves the village to find the shrine on the mountain. Perhaps after he defeated the evil hermit and freed the shrine for the villagers to enjoy the teachings of the Mother she would at least find him a woman, one with wide hips and good teeth. Shuelsai mused upon the perfection of life, and cast off.</blockquote>
