Watching the disappearing figure, Liu Sisi, full of confusion, made her way home across the small stream.
Before she reached the front door, from afar she noticed something unusual.
The water in the canal next to the small path that usually ran clear was now incredibly murky, carrying yellowish-brown mud.
Scaling the small hill, two little puppies came bounding towards her, their joyful barking ringing out. They frolicked around the three of them, playing with the two children.
The two children were very well-behaved, staying close to her, neither crying nor fussing.
Such a long distance to and from, YingEr was still okay as Liu Sisi could carry her, but Di Xuan had to rely on his own feet which was quite tiring. It seemed that it wasn't sustainable to always bring the two children along for their errands. She would have to think of a better solution.
