After dinner the sky had already darkened, Gu Youyou climbed into bed to rest, while Jin Zijin still took the clothes he had changed out of to the riverside to wash.
At this time of night, and in the month of November, the water in the river must be unimaginably cold. Doing this, he's likely to get frostbite, she feared.
Gu Youyou thought that perhaps she should find a way to prepare some herbal medicine, to concoct some frostbite remedy for him to keep on hand.
Once the freshly washed clothes were hung under the eaves, Jin Zijin finally finished his chores.
Likewise, Jin Zijin's body was very hot, abnormally so. But he was highly vigilant. Each time Gu Youyou tried to stealthily check his pulse, he would wake up.
Looking at his complexion, she couldn't discern any illness, he seemed very robust, but this body temperature... It remained a major concern in Gu Youyou's mind.
