Dong Tai replied, "Some went south to the Big Camphor Tree Base, some died in the natural disaster, and some, we don't know where they are now. Sometimes they just pop up."
"Hmm... Have you seen this person before?"
"Camp Commander, his face is covered, we can't see it..." Dong Tai weakly reminded.
"..." Ju Tianrui was left speechless.
Dong Tai looked at the child still kowtowing outside, somewhat conflicted, and asked,
"So what should we do? Should we keep driving him away?"
Ju Tianrui's eyes showed contemplation, and he said, "Wait."
"Huh? Wait? Wait for what?" Dong Tai asked.
Ju Tianrui replied,
"Wait for his next move. You all keep a close watch, don't let him approach the wall. If he lowers his hands, fire a warning shot."
"Okay."
They stood quietly on the wall watching the child kowtow.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
The sun's radiation was intense, and he was still kneeling.
Sweat dripped down, drop by drop.
