Everyone else woke up too, and one of them shouted, "Shut up, you mutt! Blathering nonsense, letting no one sleep!"
The skinny dog cowered under the carriage, not daring to bark anymore.
"Now that you're awake, let's all get down and eat something!" a European suggested.
Three men climbed out of the carriage, cursing and swearing, while another, too sleepy to be bothered, continued to snore on the cart bed.
"Shi Mao, are you eating or not?" someone asked the person on the cart.
The man on the cart grumbled a response and went back to sleep.
"We've come in such a big gesture this time, even changing our clothes. Just who is this person we're dealing with?" the European asked.
"Old Tang, you should stop asking irrelevant questions."
