Old Man Mu was injured and could not move for the time being, so for three days, they remained where they were.
Maid Lotus had already recovered fully except for the Heart Stopping Finger. She had brought the horse hidden nearby and distributed dry goods and clean water enough to last the three of them for several days. She also took initiative and did all of the chores.

Shangguan Ru devoted herself to learning the remaining five moves. She questioned the usage of each move and even though Old Man Mu told her everything he knew and was showing off most of the time, the more she learned about them, the more frightened she was.
