Grandpa Li exclaimed "Oh dear!" and hurriedly scooped up a basin of water.
The girl squatted down and started washing her eyes, crying loudly as she did so.
Xiao Zhixing found it amusing.
"Old woman, what's wrong?" Grandpa Li asked.
Grandma Li said helplessly, "I accidentally got some red grass on my skin, look."

Grandpa Li's expression changed slightly. He bowed to her and then hurriedly ran out.
Xiao Zhixing followed, for this was exactly what she had been waiting for.
