If the water Taoist’s corpse was fine grain, requiring careful savoring back at the shop, then the government official’s body in front of him was coarse grain, needing only a cursory handling.

The corpse was originally named Shi Quan. According to a fortune teller, his fate lacked water, so his parents named him Shi Quan.
Shi Quan had a bumpy childhood, losing his father at three, his mother at seven, and following his grandfather at twelve to sell water. His grandfather believed that selling water would balance the water deficiency in Shi Quan’s fate, promising future prosperity.
Shi Quan had been ingrained with the belief that water would improve his destiny.
