Manbao puffed out her chest with pride and said, "I caught it!"
Manbao then detailed how she discovered the bamboo rat and used a torch to smoke it out.
Only then did Zhou Wulang realize that the half-burned fire in the bamboo thicket was lit by her. He was scared witless and hurriedly searched her, "Why were you carrying flint? Where is the flint now?"
Manbao was taken aback and said nothing.
Zhou Wulang searched and, finding nothing, breathed a sigh of relief, "Lost it?"
Manbao could only nod.
Zhou Wulang sternly said, "You are not allowed to play with fire again, do you understand? What if you accidentally start a wildfire in the mountains?"
Manbao, not convinced, retorted, "Didn't you also light a fire?"
Erlang replied seriously, "Can you compare yourself to us? We're all grown up, and how old are you? In any case, you're not allowed to play with fire anymore, especially not in the mountains."
