While in the army, he had no time to boil water, and most of the time he washed with cold water in winter.
He is still too weak.
They need to practice a lot.
Shen Jingchuan didn't stay in the room for long. He still had to clean up his younger sister's mess and had someone give the innkeepers a dressing down, telling them to keep everything they had seen and done that day a secret.
