Old Lady Ji was confused. How difficult could it be to simply open a door?
Zhu Xiuxiu restrained the old lady, adjusted her own clothes, then went to answer the door.
At the door stood a well-behaved boy of about ten, holding a plump duck.
Zhu Xiuxiu was stunned! It was true, there was a quacking duck at the door, but why was there a little boy too? Goodness, my Xiaosuisui certainly hadn't said she wanted to eat human flesh!
"Who... who are you? What are you doing with a duck at my doorstep?" Zhu Xiuxiu finally remembered to ask the child standing before her.
"This is a return gift my mother asked me to give your family." The little boy handed the duck to Zhu Xiuxiu.
Zhu Xiuxiu didn't accept it, as she didn't recognize this little boy. She asked with some confusion, "A gift for my family? Kid, are you sure you're not mistaken? Did your mother perhaps ask you to deliver it somewhere else?"
