"A snail? The old lady just warned me to be careful of the snail, so why would Jiang Ming have the shell of a snail inside his pocket?" Chen Ge was confused by this development, but he was certain that the old lady would not harm Jiang Ming.
Putting the shell carefully back into his pocket, Jiang Ming led Chen Ge out of the old lady's room by pulling his hand. The child led Chen Ge all over the rental apartment. They visited the rooftop, the storage room where the tenants kept their barrels of gas, and a toilet cubicle that was filled with trash. Whenever he came across a snail, Jiang Ming would be overjoyed.
