So, cursing and complaining, the two of them made their way back the way they had come.
By that time, Bai Sasa and the others were already waiting at the well with bated breath.
The eldest sister had left in the morning, and even after The Sun had set in the west, she still hadn't returned, leaving them wondering what was beneath the well.
"Did elder sister and Brother Fox go to complete the task given by the City Lord?" Xiao Shan asked, propping his chin up with his hands.
"Hmm. They went to open the sluice to put out the Earth Fire. I wonder if it's dangerous," Bai Lingyu said, sitting beside the Mosquito-eating Plant.
The roots of the Mosquito-eating Plant stretched one half into the vegetable garden, another half was drinking water in the well, and still another sat next to Bai Lingyu under the house eaves,
its Sepal fluttering in the wind without a sign of worry.
