When you stopped to rest at noon I got off my mule and came quite close . I saw the young Ku Nai-nai as she lay asleep . ' An Ching did not much like this , but she said nothing . Chang continued : ` It was easy to follow you and put up at the same inn at night , especially as Hung Li did not know us .
