Liu Ji heard the commotion and hurriedly came out of the room, wrapped in a thick coat, surprised to see the dark mound like a small mountain.
Qin Yao had stayed up all night but was full of energy, not the least bit tired, and gave a nod to Liu Ji.
"Come over and tidy up, I'm going to change my clothes. Harness the carriage, load the hares and deer onto the cart, and we'll head over to the Ding Family's old house together in a bit."
Ding Xiang said her grandmother only valued scholars and disliked speaking with village women.
Liu Ji, being such a handsome, young, 'aspiring' scholar, had a more persuasive voice.
Yawning, Liu Ji agreed, and as he watched Qin Yao enter the bedroom, he asked diligently, "Do you need hot water for washing up?"
"Yes." She replied concisely.
Liu Ji: "Got it!"
He first went into the living room, stoked the embers buried from the previous night to get the fire going, placed the kettle on, and only then did he begin to tidy up the prey in the yard.
