Owen's Answer

Answer Master Chen in front of the village: be asked for a few words, say that six years ago you came here, hear Lan say you did not know a word of Chinese, recall the first line your master taught you, hear him say it, answer with the saying about water and its source, hear him tell you to remember it, and promise not to let him down.
