When the books had been put away, Tuo Lin dragged a statue out of the house and hoisted it onto his back. He smiled at Hui Can. "Let's go."
Hui Can stared blankly. "Senior Brother, that's... Master's statue? Where did you steal it?"
Tuo Lin's expression grew solemn. "Don't be disrespectful. I carved this for Master. Traveling with Master's statue on my back is the proper way to show my devotion and respect."
Hui Can was even more at a loss for words. He thought Tuo Lin had lost his mind.

He gave an awkward smile. "Um, Senior Brother, I've been thinking. Maybe we should travel separately?"
Tuo Lin looked puzzled. "What's troubling you, Junior Brother?"

Tuo Lin thought it over seriously. "You're right. All right, Junior Brother, take care."
"You too, Senior Brother. Take care." Hui Can fled as if released from a heavy burden.
After Hui Can had gone, Tuo Lin said, "Junior Brother must have some good qualities. You just haven't seen them. Only Master can."
