"Alright, I'll take Xuan'er and leave first."
Feeling the motherly love from Li Xiu'e for her child, Su Qingluo relented and no longer insisted, "Mother, you should hurry up as well. We'll wait for you in the cave."
"Alright."
Li Xiu'e's eyes were filled with tenderness.
******************
As mother and daughter talked, Jifeng and Jiyu came down from the mountain. Seeing the items stacked under the eaves, they unloaded their baskets and began to work quietly.
"Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, where are Brother Meng and the others? Have they reached the cave?"
Upon hearing the movements, Li Xiu'e lifted the curtain from the house and came out to help with packing.
Jifeng looked up and smiled, "They will arrive soon. We met them on the way. The three horses are having trouble climbing the mountain, so they're moving slower."
Li Xiu'e relieved her mind, "After you two finish packing, have a meal. After eating, take Grandma Liu, Sister Yu, and Xuan'er with you to the cave."
"Alright."
