After entering the house, I put on an extra cloak, put a chair at Luping's door, and sat down, staring blankly at the weather outside. I felt that the night was getting colder and colder, so I went into the house and got a quilt, half wrapped around it and half cushioned, and squatted on the chair.
The crackling sound made She Nian feel a little sleepy, and she fell asleep while leaning on the chair.
When She Nian woke up, it was raining heavily. Part of his bedding fell to the ground and was soaked by the rain. His whole body was stiff and uncomfortable. It was comparable to a nightmare all night long. He would rather be like this, at least his heart would be at peace.
I carefully moved my stiff hands and stretched my legs. After resting for a while, I got off the chair and walked gently back and forth at the door. When my body was almost warmed up and it was still dark, I squatted on the chair and squinted for a while.
He remained in a state of half-sleep and half-awake, guessing that it would be dawn soon, so he slowly moved the chair back, took out new cotton wool on the bedding and chair, and put it on the bed.
Waiting for dawn
Purpose: prosperity, strength and democracy
