"Second Brother, hurry and make a trip. Tell your Third Uncle what you've all discovered," Li Cuicui said, tightening her grip on her carrying pole. "As for everyone else, find something to defend yourselves with and protect the children in the center. If things really get chaotic, we'll just look out for ourselves first."
Gu Dashishi protested, "That's not right! They're all our clansmen, our brothers and nephews. If we can help, we should. I'll go gather them all. I don't believe anyone would dare provoke us with so many people."
Li Cuicui couldn't be bothered with the old man's naivety. She called her other young grandchildren to the center and repeatedly instructed them, "In a moment, don't cry or make a fuss. Stick close to your fathers, you hear?"
