Qiao Duo'er curled her lips, "I thought they wouldn't dare to come. Just wait, I'll go deal with them!"
Having said that, she picked up the small stones that Da Ya and Er Ya played with and went out.
These little stones could be used to play the "Catch the Dog" game, where each person had an equal number of stones to place on the ground. They decided the order by playing rock-paper-scissors. Then, when it was someone's turn, they would throw a stone into the air and try to catch more from the ground while catching the one they just threw. Whoever was successful kept the stones they caught.
Da Ya was quick with her hands and had accumulated a pile of stones at home.
Qiao Duo'er didn't play games; instead, these smoothly ground stones were handy as hidden weapons.
Before long, Qiao Duo'er stood at the doorway of the east wing room.
She casually surveyed the people standing in the courtyard with a look as if she were eyeing cabbages.
