In addition to refreshments for deities and humans, the locals don't forget to care for the animals. Some put out a big wash basin next to their table, full of water, yam sprouts, and fresh hay for the messenger, an "ox" hand-picked by the Great Emperor Baosheng himself.
神、人的茶水都安置了，動物們的也沒忘記，有的民眾會在案旁擺上一個大臉盆，裡頭裝滿水與地瓜葉、牧草等，此乃為報馬仔（由保生大帝欽點的牛隻）所準備的「馬草水」。
