The chapter opens with the sound of birds chirping in the distance. It is the time of morning and the master of the village has come out of his window to take a walk. He is surprised to find that the cottage is not far from the front door and that he is not wearing his shoes. The master explains that he has come to rest in the village because there are not many people around. He has bought the cottage so that he and his sister can enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside. He tells the master that he will take her for a walk and that there is a school for her. He also tells her that she can go whenever she likes. He says that the word "li" doesn't fit with his master's personality. He asks the master if he has ever seen the devil, and she says that she has not seen how scary she can be. She tells him that the master is like a deity, gentle, and kind. She says that when she was lonely, the master came to her and gave her a new life. He gave her love and everything she wanted. She asks why she is still feeling tired after such a long day. She feels pain in her legs and wants to go inside the toilet.
