"Xuan Yue, it looks like we won't make it to the next town before the rain comes," Tian Yi said, sitting on the coach-box of the carriage, a worried expression on his face.
Xuan Yue vigorously whipped the horses and, glancing up at the already low clouds in the distance, nodded in agreement, "Yeah, there's neither village ahead nor a place to stay behind. Nowhere to seek shelter."
"Why look for a place to stay? Look at that forest; the trees are so thick they could serve as your bed."
"Hmmph, I'll leave that pleasure to you," Xuan Yue shot a glare at Tian Yi, who was being cheeky, and continued driving the carriage.
As they spoke, a fierce wind had risen, swirling the dust and debris from the ground. Inside the carriage, they could already hear the howling whist of the wind outside.
