"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 some time to make their getaway.
Hearing the knocking, Liu Qiaoqiao shouted, "Wait! Wait a moment!"
She wanted to check the situation on the roof first.
But it seemed 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 me?" Liu Qiaoqiao was extremely 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 came back up.
