Chapter 18: The Two-Person Palm

"Ask him," said Mian. "He's the only person alive who might know it."

They found Old Qiu behind the Bluebrook tent, peeling a mountain of turnips in the dark.

He listened to the whole problem with a turnip in one hand.

"The Snow-Parting Palm," he said.

"Did you really invent it?" Shouyi asked.

"I invented it in a snowstorm, in the fourth year of my wandering, with a head cold."

"I sneezed, I waved my hand, and the snow went away from me. I have never done it twice."

"But it's your technique," said Mian.

"It's my sneeze. I'm not taking questions."

He tossed the turnip into the bucket.

"I can't teach you something I never knew. But I'll tell you what I know about making forms."

"A good one is never one man's. It's two things that can't do it alone, put together."

"That sounds like a slogan," said Mian.

"It sounds like a cook," said Old Qiu. "Go away. You're blocking my moon."

They went out to the empty practice field after midnight.

It was a wide patch of trodden grass by the water, with a little open pavilion at one end.

A single lamp had been left burning on its post.

"Let us set out the problem," said Shouyi.
