August 6th, the 32nd year of Jia Ning.
As the day was just breaking, Chen Ji woke up from his sleep with a series of sneezes. Sitting up in bed, he mumbled to himself in a daze, "Who's thinking of me? My master? I wonder how they're doing..."
Thinking about it, he sat blankly for a while before getting up, putting on his clothes, rolling up his sleeves, and heading out with a pole over his shoulder.
Chen Ji slowly walked along the bluestone path towards the well, not in any rush.
When he arrived at the well, he suddenly noticed that the crank, hemp rope, and wooden bucket had all been replaced with new ones, and even the well's edge had been freshly rebuilt with blue bricks.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Ji picked up the empty water buckets and started walking outside Chen Mansion.
