When training day was finally over, Zhou made it back to his tent. He had built it at the edge of the camp. That way he could sleep during the night, without distraction. His horse was tied to a pole while he slept. This spot was comfortable for sleep for him and trees and grass outside for the horse to eat.
Zhou was preparing himself to go to sleep. He was inside of his tent, taking his shirt off, and changing out of uniform to change into something more comfortable. Zhou had heard a noise from outside, so, he put. his shirt back on to not freak ou whoever was outside. When he finally stepped out of the tent, he saw a person who was outside. That person was the solider that he had helped during training day this very day,
"Hey , I want to say to you, thanks.",said the solider.
Zhou was unsure why the solider still his mask on?
"Maybe he hasn't gone back to his tent yet? Maybe that's why he didn't take it off?",thought Zhou, to himself.
When Zhou looked back at what the solider had just said about thanking him for today, the only way that Zhou could ever respond back was ,
"You're welcome.",he said.
It wasn't until the solider turned. away that he started walking,
"Wait! What's your name?",called out Zhou.
The soldier then turned around ,
"It's...uh...it's Lao. My name is Lao.",said Lao before he fully walked off into the distances during go back to his own tent to sleep.
