By the fifth day, there were no unusual symptoms from the six people, and Manbao felt mostly relieved, but she still wouldn't let them leave the house; they had to stay inside and rest.
Yet, the six weren't lonely, as they got in touch with their comrades in the neighboring yard, shouting to each other over the wall, making things quite lively.

Bai Shan handed them the cloth he had prepared early on and said, "This is what we promised you some time ago."
The six people's eyes brightened, unable to tear their gaze away from the fabric.
After receiving the cloth, they asked, "My lord, are we returning to the military camp now?"
