......
The sky was just before dawn, and the distant sky was tinged with blue before daybreak.
When the rooster in the shed crowed for the first time, the girl moved her head and wearily opened her eyes.
My body is covered in red welts from mosquito bites, and from being curled up for so long, my blood circulation in my limbs has slowed down, leaving my legs and feet numb.
Fang Zhi paused for a moment, then staggered to his feet.
With its small body and skillful movements, it carried a silver basin, mixed the feed, and fed the chickens. Then it swept the floor and quietly opened the door to take out the trash.

Fang Zhi's hand trembled, and he ate much faster.
After filling her stomach, she quickly cleared away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash up, not daring to delay for even a moment.
