บท 1691: The Family of 3

The next morning, it rained.

It was a light drizzle, but that was enough for the mountaintop to be too cold for people to walk outside properly. They had brought umbrellas and warm clothes, but they still sought shelter where they could.

A married couple and their young son came to Ning's own cart, asking for shelter from the rain. The man even volunteered to steer the cart in exchange for letting them stay, so Ning accepted.

Ning finally sat at the back of the cart with the older woman and their son, who seemed to be no older than 12 years old. The child seemed bored and didn't want to talk at all, but the married couple were quite talkative and asked the two various questions.

As Ning and Shara introduced them as siblings, they couldn't help but question where their home was or what they were doing out there.

"We have some legal work to take care of in Toma, and we thought it would be a good idea to sightsee while we can," Ning said.
