Anza Qi Paper Back 6x9

Anza checks out his mother’s hand for the ring. Not seeing
it, he runs out and returns putting bags on the table.
He runs out again returning with more groceries.
Phir smiles with a question, “Any more bags?”
“Nope, that’s it.”
The sound of hoof beats echoes through the window. “I
hear the cuz coming. See ya.”
Anza runs out as Qingling, Arthur and Longwei rein in
with dust in their wake.
Meilin shouts out the window, “Be home in time to
groom your horses before dinner.”
Anza mounts his horse, "Come on, hyah-hyah," he
shouts, and they ride off to the countryside. Anza leads the
way and after a short ride, they rein in and dismount at
the edge of the Path of Knowledge.
“You guys have to help me.”
Qingling is quick to respond, “Not that save the world
stuff again.”
“Yes. Mom isn't always mom, and the raven took a
Crest from the horse statue that we gotta get back to the
other world so we don't ---"
“Whoa cuz,” hollers Longwei, “we’re just kids. Saving the
world is for soldiers, and politicians or ---"
“Come on Longster, hear me out.”
The kids sit alongside the Path of Knowledge ... time
passes as Anza tells his story. He finishes with, “It’s starting
to get dark. You guys are sleeping over, so we can finish
after dinner when Mom, Dad and Yeye go to bed. Meet
me in my room and be quiet."
