For the convenience of climbing the mountain, Wu Ning wore a white suit and white leather shoes with a gray vest and a red tie. She also wore a big soft hat. She looked brave riding a big, black horse. If Wu Ning were a man, he would definitely be popular among girls. In fact, she had received a lot of attention from other girls during the trip to the mountain.

Famous didn't recognize her by her looks, so it didn't matter what she was wearing.

Old Time Tea and Famous came close to her, but did not know what to say as she didn't understand their language.

Wu Ning waved her hand and her servant brought over gifts.

She gestured to the presents and smiles, "I wanted to say sorry for leaving without saying anything the other night. I am so sorry for being so impolite. Today, I came for two things, one is to express my gratitude. Secondly, I wished meet your owner, do you mind introducing me to him?"

Old Time Tea didn't say anything while Famous shook its head, which meant they didn't have an owner. It knew that people in this time were kind of superstitious and were more likely to accept things beyond their imagination.

Wu Ning was shocked, and she was pretty sure that the dog and cat were familiar with the human language as they could understand what she said. But she wasn't sure about their response. She didn't know whether the head shake meant that they didn't have an owner or that they didn't want to introduce her to their owner, so she asked, "Your owner doesn't want to see me?"

Famous shook its head again.

"So, you don't have an owner?"

This time Famous nodded its head and then shook it, meaning it had an owner who was not around.

"Winter is coming. Living in the deep mountain could be difficult. You two saved my life, would it be possible for you to come to my place and be my guests?" She guessed what Famous was trying to say, so she invited them to her house.

Famous and Old Time Tea shook their heads at the same time. They didn't want to leave this place. Famous had become used to practicing Kung Fu here and thought if it continued practicing here, it could beat that King Tibetan Mastiff when it went back to the real world. As for Old Time Tea, its reasons were more complicated.

Wu Ning knew they wouldn't change their minds so she didn't ask again. She thought it was a pity so she asked, "Is there anything else I could do?"

Wu Ning gave them an abundance of fish and meat every day, so Famous didn't have more requests. Old Time Tea thought for a while and walked to the temple, turning back to wave at her.

At first, the servants thought seeing the young madam talking seriously with a dog and cat was ridiculous. After seeing Famous and Old Time Tea understand the human language, they were pretty impressed and thought they might be some kind of immortal animals.

Wu Ning walked inside the temple with Old Time Tea.

Old Time Tea pointed its claw at the two statues and patted the lower hem of the gown.

Wu Ning was so smart that she guessed what Old Time Tea was trying to say.

"You want this outfit?"

Old Time Tea nodded and touched its head with its claw.

Wu Ning touched her head without thinking.

"You want a hat, too?"

Old Time Tea nodded again.

"What kind of hat do you want? Something like this?" She took off her hat, revealing her beautiful hair, and handed it to Old Time Tea.

Old Time Tea shook its head, not knowing how to express itself.

"Why are you holding my bamboo hat in your mouth?" Wu Ning asked.

"Don't chase it. The dog has saved our young madam's life. Just leave it alone," one of the servants said.

The servants were relaxing in the sun when it suddenly became noisy. Wu Ning was confused and just when she was about to go see what had happened, she saw Famous holding the bamboo hat in its the mouth. Then Famous opened its mouth and threw the hat next to Wu Ning's feet.

Wu Ning picked up the bamboo hat, looked at them and asked, "Do you want a hat like this one?"

They nodded at the same time.

Old Time Tea looked at Famous confused, not knowing how it got its point.

Wu Ning was relieved. She finally knew what Old Time Tea wanted. Then she asked Famous, "What about you? Would you like the same outfit, the whole look?"

Famous shook its head like a rattle. He didn't think nudity was shameful. Wearing clothes can be troublesome as it had to be careful with branches in the forest and cautious not to tear the pants up when it practiced kicking. Well, the robe was crotch free, but it still didn't feel like wearing it.

"Ok, wait a second."

Wu Ning called her servants and asked them to measure Old Time Tea.

"I am wearing a man's suit, but I learned to sew clothes when I was little. I will sew your clothes myself, and look for the best craftsman to knit your hat. You don't have to worry about it!"

The sun was about to go down. A servant came to remind her that it was time to leave the mountain. The sun went down quickly during winter. It was not safe for a beautiful, young girl to travel through such a desolate mountain even though she had her bodyguard. Her parents told her that she must come home before sunset, otherwise they wouldn't let her go out anymore.

Wu Ning didn't want to say goodbye, but she couldn't disobey her parents' order. So she said with her hands in fists in front of her chest, "My saviors, I have to go now. I'll see you later."

Old Time Tea stood up like a man, putting its claws together, imitating the way she said goodbye. It pointed at the presents and made a pushing gesture, asking her to take the gifts.

Wu Ning respected the two animals even more. The cat in particular was so civilized, just like a man. She decided to tell her parents about what happened today when she went back.

Old Time Tea and Famous walked her out and didn't come back to the temple until she disappeared.

A few days later, a servant carried two bags to the mountain, one of the bags held fish and meat, as usual. In the other bag, there was a tailored long, grey gown and a tiny bamboo hat for Old Time Tea, exactly the same as the one Old Time Tea wore in the real world.

When helping Old Time Tea put on its long gown, Famous noticed another detail. Inside the sleeve was a sentence sewed in red that read, "I really appreciate you saving my life. This was just a way to pay you back."

Inside the bamboo hat, there was a tiny warrior made of bamboo.

Famous couldn't help being lost in memories. Do the gown and bamboo hat have these words in the real world?
