"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s move out!" Chao Qian ordered, and a group of mischievous kids started pounding on the front door with all their might.
The idea was to lure Liu Qiaoqiao over and give the kids on the roof so ti to make their getaway.
Hearing the knocking, Liu Qiaoqiao shouted, "Wait! Wait a mont!"
She wanted to check the situation on the roof first.
But it seed the people at the door didn’t hear her. The knocking only got louder, as if the wood would be smashed to pieces.
"Who’s there? Are you deaf or dumb? Didn’t you hear ?" Liu Qiaoqiao was extrely annoyed, a raging fire burning in her chest.
Hearing Liu Qiaoqiao’s exasperated voice, the kids at the door couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The laughter drew Liu Qiaoqiao down from the ladder.
While Liu Qiaoqiao was coming down, Ning Chenguang directed his friends to stuff straw into the chimney and then pushed it down with sticks to see how she’d clean it out when she ca back up.
After everything was set, Ning Chenguang suggested everyone take turns peeing into the chimney.
So, in the bright midday sun, a few little boys dropped their pants, exposing their pale, white butts, and peed into the chimney.
Afterward, they quickly made their escape.
Liu Qiaoqiao ca to the front door, cursing as she opened it.
No one was at the door, and as she stepped out to take a closer look, she suddenly felt sothing soft underfoot and realized she had stepped deeply into a pile of cow dung.
In the countryside, there’s never a shortage of manure—cow, mule, pig—pick so up and you’ve got a whole basketful.
Since they had gathered it, it couldn’t go to waste. The dung stretched from Liu Qiaoqiao’s doorstep all the way to the street, requiring cautious navigation to avoid stepping in it.
"Which bastard did this!" Liu Qiaoqiao yelled furiously, "Dare to do it but not admit it? Show yourself!"
In the distance, peals of laughter echoed.
Liu Qiaoqiao recognized it as the sound of children.
"Whose motherless little brat did this? Co out!" she fud, navigating carefully through the dung-free spots as she moved forward.
Little did she know, the dung-free areas were filled with small pits covered with leaves.
How could Liu Qiaoqiao predict this?
Seeing a seemingly clean spot, she stepped on it, twisted her ankle, and fell forward.
By chance, she landed right in the cow dung, covering herself head to toe, even getting the foul-slling stuff in her mouth.
"Hahahaha!" The kids could no longer contain themselves and laughed out loud from their hiding spots.
Liu Qiaoqiao could only hear their laughter, but couldn’t see anyone, fueling her anger and frustration.
At that mont, she couldn’t bother cursing anymore, and turned to run back ho.
She needed a bath! A bath!
After washing herself clean upon returning ho, Liu Qiaoqiao rembered the stead buns in the kitchen.
Rushing into the kitchen, choking on the thick smoke, she lifted the pot lid to find the buns were already charred black, like lumps of coal.
The water in the big iron pot had long evaporated, leaving the pot bottom glowing red-hot.
Heart afla with fury, Liu Qiaoqiao bellowed in the courtyard, "Which little bastard did this! Don’t let catch you, or I’ll never let it go!"
