3 days later, they arrived at the base of a large cliff with a tall waterfall nearby. It was a beautiful sunny day and people hadn't been able to wash themselves in some time, so they decided to stay here for the day, even though it was early.
The small pond that had formed at the base of the waterfall was perfect for bathing and swimming. Even though the water was quite cold, everyone found that they wanted to do it.
The women went there first, creating a barricade with large sheets around one side. While they were bathing, the men went around to find some firewood for their meal.
Ning finally saw Umad leave his carriage after 5 days. He had left his carriage before, but Ning hadn't been there to see it. He always kept to his men and didn't show up for the commoners.
With the waterfall, he seemed to have been wanting to bathe for a while now.
