Trekking in Twilight

Color of the sky was very dark. The wind was wild and the rain was heavy. In the wind and rain, stood a black horse carriage, dripping with water. Ning Que suddenly woke up, as he felt something. He got in the carriage and took the unconscious Sangsang into his arms. He held her wrist, trying to feel the pulse. He then laid her back onto the bedding. As he looked at her frowning brows and pale face, he frowned as well.

Sealing tight the cover of the roof, he got out of the carriage and went to it's front. He tried to pull together the carriage, which had been cracked by his own hands, in order to keep the rain from falling on Sangsang's face.

The big black umbrella was lying in a pond beside the carriage, trembling in the wind. Ning Que picked it up and walked to face the horse. He knelt down on one knee and covered the horse with the umbrella. Then he lowered his body to hold its neck.
