Parker said, "Don't move about and just sit in the nest."
The embarrassed Bai Qingqing asked, "Can you borrow some from your mother?"
"The season's over, so no females will keep cotton flowers. Those cotton flowers that weren't plucked would have been drenched by the rain." Parker thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't you use animal skin?"
Bai Qingqing shook her head repeatedly. "Mm, mm. Forget it."
She dared not use animal's skin, for fear of infection.
Then what should she do for the rest of the year? She would at least have to wait till next summer when there would be cotton flowers again. That thought made her feel despair.
