521 WE MEET AGAIN (1/2)
First, Ye Xiu wouldn't be able to come and second, Senja doubted if he wanted to part with Riana again, even if it only her resting place.
With that answer, Uncle Su shut his mouth.
When the sky has become darker, the rain began to slowly drizzle down when they reached the sanctuary.
This place that so called sanctuary was actually vast plains with overgrown yellow grass covered the land. And as their shelter, those citizens with the help of soldiers that had been located there by Xiao Jun, had built camps. There were over five hundreds big white tents were standing there.
With the rain that was pouring down the land along with thundered that the sound akin to a beast, the sounds of their horses' hooves hardly drew attention of the people there.
Their small group dismounted their horses and walked among the tents until one of the guards was approaching them.
He talked something to Uncle Su and then led them to the vacant tent, after that he left.
”We will rest here.” Uncle Su said as he dropped their belongings on the ground.
Inside the big tent, there were six wooden beds, which divided by green curtain. With the four of them, it meant there was still two more bed that empty.
The four of them took their chosen bed and started to change their clothes, too tired to talk further.
As the drizzle started to become a rainstorm and the light inside the tent had blown out, all of the people inside the shelter of their tents begun to drift off to sleep with the sound of clattering rain against the ground.
........
Senja woken up with the sound of bickering from the behind the curtain, at first she tried to ignore it, but when the noisy sound started to become intolerable, she groaned and shouted back at the twins.
”Can both of you shut up!?” Senja exclaimed. ”I am trying to sleep here.”
There was a pin drop silent before the curtain around her small space yanked opened. Revealed Sheng or Xun, Senja too disoriented to tell the different.
He stood there and glared at her with one of his hand was on his hips while the other was clutching the curtain. ”Can you stop sleeping and start to get up? It's almost noon!” He scolded.
”Noon?” Senja repeated foolishly.
”Come on, wake up! Uncle Su had found Gong Xu, he is in the infirmary tent.” The other twins yelled at her.
With the mentioned of Gong Xu, all of the reason why she was there in the first place rushed forward her mind.
Brushing her face with water on the basin, she changed her dress in lightening speed.
After she has properly clothed, she opened the curtain and asked the twins eagerly. ”Where is the infirmary tent? Show me the way.”
”We didn't know where it is.” Sheng answered her.
Senja frowned with that pathetic replied. ”If you didn't know where the tent is, so how do you know Gong Xu is there?”
”Uncle Su wrote it here.” Xun threw a small sheet that had written with simple information about Gong Xu whereabouts.
”So, where is him?” Senja threw back the small sheet at Xun who caught it with ease.
”Do not know.” Sheng shrugged. ”He had gone when I found this letter.”
”AArrhgt!” Xun let out a desperate screamed upon Uncle Su's bad habit. ”I am starting to feel that I am baby- sitting an overly grown up man!”
