"What was that sound?" Wu Qiao Ping glanced warily toward the cave entrance and whispered.
"Probably just the wind," An Zhijiang said after listening for a moment.
"It's not a wild animal trying to get in, is it?" Wu Qiao Ping's eyes darted around as she whispered to An Zhijiang.
Hearing Wu Qiao Ping's words, An Zhijiang felt a shiver of fear. "It… it shouldn't be. This cave Su Qing found is pretty well hidden."
"But what if?" Seeing An Zhijiang hesitate, Wu Qiao Ping grew displeased. "Why don't we go check the entrance together?"
An Zhijiang thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. You're a girl. I'll go take a look by myself."
Wu Qiao Ping's heart leaped with joy, but she quickly added, "O-Okay, then. Be careful. Just take a quick peek. If there is a wild animal outside, don't let it spot you."
"Okay." An Zhijiang nodded. Suppressing his unease, he grabbed a stick and crept quietly toward the mouth of the cave.
