After the time it took for around half an incense to burn, Ye Siming came down.
"It's done," He had gotten some dust and stains on his embroidered clothes. "There shouldn't be any more leaks. If there are still leaks, just take it that this Buddhist old man is unlucky."
Kongjue quickly bowed with Shuyi and Shu'er and pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Thank you, Benefactor."
In order to thank Ye Siming and Gu Nuo'er, Kongjue invited them to stay for a vegetarian meal.
Gu Nuo'er quickly agreed.
Shuyi and Shu'er enthusiastically went to fetch water and help while Kongjue went to start a fire at the stove.
Gu Nuo'er waved her small hand. "Elder Brother Siming, lower your head."
Ye Siming half-squatted down. "What is it?"
The child reached out her soft hand and gently wiped away the dirt left on Ye Siming's cheek.
