"I...I can't get up..." Huixin was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear back into the water and go straight back to Dafosi Temple. She had made such a fool of herself on her first trip out to run errands, and she was so embarrassed.
But he couldn't bear to go back. He had finally met someone like him, and this person also seemed to be a Buddhist disciple. He wanted to have a good chat with Wuchen, as he was too lonely without any friends.
Ye Qingqing noticed something amiss and asked with a smile, "Did you accidentally expose yourself?"
Judging from Huixin's appearance, she was definitely not injured or threatened; she was just shy and unwilling to come out. She must have been embarrassed by being exposed. Huixin blushed even more and nodded shyly, "A big turtle... shoved my pants away..."
After saying that, he dived into the water and refused to come out.
That's so embarrassing.
He had only been playing with the turtles for a while when one of them snatched his pants while he wasn't looking. Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise he wouldn't even have had his underwear left.
"Hahahaha...you're so funny..." Wuchen burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.
Huixin was so ashamed that he hid underwater. He had made such a fool of himself on his first meeting with someone of his own kind that he was too embarrassed to go out.
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but laugh. Although Huixin acted like an adult and was mature, she was actually as innocent as a child. It was really interesting. Lu Mo and Zhu Zi also smiled and completely relaxed.
"I'll leave my pants by the lake. You come up and put them on first. We'll all turn away from you."
Ye Qingqing took out a pair of thick pants from her bag and threw them by the lake. Everyone turned around, and soon the sound of water came from behind, followed by the rustling sound of clothes being put on.
"I'm all better now."
Everyone then turned around, and Huixin, blushing, bowed to them. She was wearing a gray monk's robe, but underneath were the thick cotton trousers that Ye Qingqing had taken out, which looked somewhat mismatched.
Strangely, Huixin was completely dry after climbing out of the water, without a single drop of water on her body.
Wuchen walked over, performed a proper Buddhist salute, and said happily, "You are water, right? Do you know what I am?"
Hui Xin's eyes also showed joy as she smiled and said, "I know, you are a beast tamer."
"Yes, but I can only make small insects obey me now. Big wild animals won't listen to me, you see."
Wuchen was in high spirits. He stretched out his hand and chanted a few times. In just a few minutes, a large, multicolored snake swam over. It was five or six meters long and its body was thicker than Wuchen's arm. It hissed and flicked its scarlet tongue, then swam docilely to Wuchen's side.
"These are my friends. Say hello to them and don't be so foolish as to provoke my friends, understand?" Wuchen said to the giant snake like a friend.
The giant snake tilted its head and looked at Huixin. Its cold snake eyes softened a little. It swam to Huixin's side, raised its head and looked at him. Huixin squatted down and even stretched out his hand. The giant snake affectionately rested its head in his palm and even licked it with its tongue, remembering Huixin's scent. Then it nodded to Wuchen.
"From now on, you can go out boldly without anyone bothering you," Wuchen said with a smile.
Huixin was so happy that she forgot about Xiaohuya, grinned, and stroked the snake several times before letting it return to the forest.
"Come with me."
Huixin grabbed Wuchen's hand and led her towards the small lake. His friend had given him such a generous gift, so of course he had to reciprocate. His master had said that one should repay kindness with kindness, and one should not only think about receiving but also about giving.
Everyone watched the two children with curiosity, wondering what they were going to do.
