He Ao glanced at the middle-aged man and raised his hand to signal him to wait a moment.
Then he stepped into the back room and woke up the sleeping Ennie.
Ennie looked at her father's cheeks, a bit dazed at first, intending to act spoilt and linger in bed for a while longer, but the sight of the surrounding tents gradually brought back the memory of yesterday's events.
Then she jolted upright from the bed.
The place had changed, and she could not afford to lounge in bed at ease anymore.
There were no toiletries available here. The young girl simply wiped her face and tied her messy, exploded hair into a ponytail before following He Ao out the door.
The middle-aged man was waiting outside quietly.
He was aware that He Ao did not completely trust them, which was quite normal in the wilderness. If He Ao showed no caution at all, he would have suspected He Ao of being a swindler.
