Gu Jiao wiped his sweat, "Were you good today?"
"Good! I'm the best!" Little Jingkong earnestly replied.
"Is that so?" Gu Jiao held his hand, "What did you learn today?"
Little Jingkong held Gu Jiao's hand, hopping and skipping forward: "Today I learned the 'Analects of Confucius', and also arithmetic!"
"Did you learn everything?" Gu Jiao asked in a soft voice.
Little Jingkong patted his chest: "Of course! I'm not as stupid as my brother-in-law!"
Gu Jiao corrected him: "Your brother-in-law is not stupid, he's very smart."
Little Jingkong held serious doubts about his evil brother-in-law's intelligence.
How could he always rank last if he's smart?
As the two of them happily chatted, they crossed the streets, arrived in front of the shops, passed a few of them, turned a corner and entered Bishui Alley.
Just as they rounded the corner and had only taken a few steps, Gu Jiao suddenly perked up her ears, grabbed Little Jingkong, lifted him up, and took a big step to the side!
