After she added some hot water to wash her face and feet, and opened the door to splash water into the yard, she found that it had already started to rain.

The rain in this season is not like that in summer. The rain now is so cold that it can freeze people to death. After pouring the water, Tian Cai went into the kitchen and added a thick tree trunk. It was so cold that she was afraid of waking herself up in the middle of the night, so putting a thick tree trunk could keep the fire burning for a while longer.

After returning to the room, she touched the quilt that had been made earlier and found it was still warm. She took off her clothes and quickly got in. The temperature inside made her sigh in comfort.

There was a night of wind and rain, and the weather was still going strong the next morning. Tian Cai could clearly feel the temperature had dropped again. He went back to the house, put on a cotton coat and trousers, put on an old piece of clothing, and trotted to the toilet.

The little panda had also been cooped up in the house all night. When he saw Tian Cai open the door, he hurriedly limped out.

After the man and the beast had taken care of their physiological needs, they slowly went back to prepare breakfast.

The sound of the medicine grinder did not stop until almost noon. The water that Tian Cai used to make the pills for Luo Daqiang was all water that she had dripped dew on. Diluting it would also enhance the efficacy of the medicine.

In the afternoon, the rain got heavier again. She thought Luo Daqiang couldn't come, but after a while, she heard someone knocking on the door. The man came in the rain.

Tian Cai hurriedly welcomed him into the main hall and handed him the pills in the bamboo tube. "Two pills a day. After you finish, come over and let me take your pulse. Also, get more rest recently and avoid cold, greasy, or spicy food."

Luo Daqiang took the medicine bottle and thanked him but didn't leave. He hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Can I still sleep on the same kang with my wife?"

Tian Cai understood what he meant in a second and nodded, "Okay, but you have to do it less often."
