Ji Nuan picked up the half-arm-high wooden barrel that Lei Er had made from scraps and scooped the water from the lower barrel into the higher barrel. She was greedy and wanted a large bathtub, but she didn't consider her height.

Not to mention that it's inconvenient to get in and out of a chest-high bathtub, just boiling the water is enough work, so it's better to use this tub that's over one meter high.

After boiling the water back and forth seven or eight times, Ji Nuan checked the water level and estimated that it was enough. Then she lowered the animal skin curtain at the door, took off the dirty animal skin on her body, and stepped carefully into the bathtub.

The warm water flowed over her body. Ji Nuan leaned against the wall of the tub and let out a long breath. It was so comfortable. After soaking for a while, she took a small piece of animal skin that was on the side of the tub and scrubbed it carefully.

Seeing the originally clear water slowly turning turbid, Ji Nuan's eyes twitched unconsciously for several times. It's so dirty! Too dirty!

It was not until she wiped the animal skin across her cheeks and looked at the rolls of gray-black unknown substances falling on the water that Ji Nuan felt that her mind was really about to collapse. She had always believed that the original owner's skin was this color. After all, the skin of the females of the Watson tribe was this gray. She did not expect that the unknown objects on the water gave her a heavy blow.

This is caused by not washing your face. No wonder I wipe my face with animal skin every morning but still feel uncomfortable. It turns out that I don’t wash it thoroughly.

This unknown substance that took so long to be washed off in hot water cannot be wiped off even if it is soaked in animal skin every day.

After nearly an hour of tossing and turning, the water in the tub had become lukewarm. Ji Nuan climbed out of the tub, added a small wooden bucket of warm water, and rinsed herself again. Then she picked up the dry animal skin that was placed aside and put it on.

After cleaning up the dirty water in the tub and washing everything, all the hunters had returned to the tribe and started to process their prey in the open space.

Ji Nuan walked into her small bedroom with light steps, lay down on her two-meter-wide bed and fell asleep.

During this time, a major incident occurred in the tribe, which completely disrupted Ji Nuan's plan to fix Xiu Yan's bones the next day. Of course, Ji Nuan, who was immersed in a beautiful dream at the time, knew nothing about it.

···

The sunlight quietly slipped into the cave and danced on Ji Nuan's pale, skinny little face.

Ji Nuan wrinkled her small eyebrows, opened her eyes in confusion, listened to the bird calls that were unique to the early morning, and straightened her waist and got out of bed...

Didn't get up...

She brushed her hair awkwardly and sat up from the bed. She stretched her waist and felt her body was more relaxed than ever before. She felt like she had lost a few pounds after taking a shower. What a magical experience.

Humming an off-tune divine song, Ji Nuan wandered into the food storage cave, took out a few fruits that she had picked a few days ago, and ate four or five of them to fill her stomach.

Then he picked up two palm-wide wooden sticks from the corner and staggered towards the next cave.

She lifted the animal skin curtain on one side, stuck her head into the cave, and called Xiu Yan's name softly, but no one answered. Was he still sleeping?

Ji Nuan placed the heavy stick in her hand against the outside of the cave and raised her voice, "Brother Xiu Yan! Are you there? I am Shanzi!"

The cave was completely silent. Only Ji Nuan's voice echoed in the cave, making it seem extremely empty.

Ji Nuan didn't notice that the comfortable animal-skin bed that she had coveted so much yesterday was now only a bunch of dry grass left.
