text: Shankok has several small infected spots on his shin. For that reason he is not working in his fields. A less wealthy man hardly could afford this. For me however his inactiveness is a great advantage as all the other gaonburas have gone to Chinglong, Chongwe and other villages in that direction, looking for pigs for the Oulingbu.
