In the courtyard's open skywell, Tan Wenbin was holding a bowl of some kind of soup whose name no one knew, eating with a spoon as he walked in circles, admiring his favorite lotus vat.
Lin Shuyou also went to ladle a bowl, planning to ask the others if they wanted any. When he looked up, he saw Run Sheng sitting motionless in a shadowed corner, while Brother Xiao Yuan sat on a stool by the water channel, eyes closed in thought.
Ah You had no choice but to carry his bowl over to Tan Wenbin's side.
"Brother Bin, since you like this vat so much, why don't we get one just like it at Mr. Li's place?"
"We'd have to get Mr. Li to agree to level the yard, knock down the house, dig the foundation ten meters down to lay out an Array, then repair and maintain it every year."
"It has to be like that? Then forget it. Brother Bin, you really know a lot."
"Mm, you can be like me and read more Array Books when you've got time."
Li Zhiyuan was currently retrospecting his own memories.
