Summary: The Great Miao is now giveing orders for people to do for chores. He told Mipeng to go catch birds with the bird keeper. The nwhen they went off everybody noticed that his child Khutulun was missing. Her mother yelled and screamed for her as well as everybody else. Nobody could spot that little two yaer old anywhere. So Haoyou went up on his kite. The Mongol guy on his horse flew him. Not paying attention the Mongol rode into a swamp,and let the kite go with Haoyou on it. Haoyou tried his hardest to control the kite. All of a sudden he starts falling down head first and sees the baby fall into the water. So he made the kite fly into the water. When he hits the water he realizes that he's still strapped to the kite. Haoyou finally unstraps himself and gets the baby out of the water. The bird catcher herd about the news and was crying. Then when he saw his dauter he ran and cried in cheer.

Summary: Haoyou doesn't fly for a long time. Then when he goes into Dagu city, which is where he use to live, nothing looks the same. Everythimg is messed up. It looked like an ancient village of some sort. Then when they put on the circus everybody comes out of nowhere and says "where's Qiqi, wheres qiqi." Miao comes inside and doesn't know what to do if Haoyou doesn't want to fly. So Haoyou gets up and says I want to fly today and I'm going to. Miao gave him a look that said are you sure you want to do this. Haoyou says I'm positive.
Visualize: I can see Haoyou being really scared to fly again. Also I can see Miao giving Haoyou that look.
