Ning tried to find sleep, but with the constant lurching of the carriage with the horses dragging it through uneven dirt roads, his sleep evaded him.
He simply lay there with his eyes closed for a while, trying to get some rest still.
Shara had begun small conversations with the woman and the young child who sat next to her, talking about how she and her brother were on their way to meet their grandparents.
The couple there suspected not a single thing. The others were busy with their own small talk, no one bothering Ning.
This would've been a great time to sleep if he could find it at all.
He spent nearly an hour doing nothing when the carriage came to a sudden halt. Ning wondered why they had stopped and quickly opened his eyes. He reached for the spear that was lay flat within the carriage and was ready to use it.
