"Gaga Gaga."
"Lololo."
"Woof woof."
The commotion in each family's courtyard intensified as chickens flew and dogs jumped around.
"Sister Yu, what should we do? Your brothers and sisters haven't returned yet."
Li Xiu'e, anxious, stepped into the small southern room, helping Su Qingluo roll up their bedding.
"Mother, don't worry. The floodwaters won't rush in for a while. Let's pack up and wait for my brothers and sisters to return, then we can move everything in one trip."
Having Little Kingfisher monitor the upstream riverbank and not receiving any news of a breach, Su Qingluo felt at ease.
"Can we really move all this stuff in one trip?"
Li Xiu'e widened her eyes, her face full of confusion.
"Sister can perform magic."
Little Prince chimed in innocently, laughing with pride for his sister.
Poor little one, deceived by his sister. He was the type to be easily fooled and still help others count their money.
"What does Xuan'er mean?"
Li Xiu'e became even more puzzled.
