Ji Nuan picked up a small wooden bucket, about half-armed high, made by Lei Er with offcuts. She scooped water from a lower barrel into a higher one.
Her greedy wish for a larger bathing barrel hadn't taken into account her own height.
Never mind that a barrel up to her chest provided inconvenient access, just heating enough water was a whole hassle in itself. Thus, she opted for this meter-and-something-high barrel.
After heating hot water seven or eight times, Ji Nuan checked the water level. It seemed enough, so she finally lowered the beast skin curtain at the door, took off her dirty beast skin clothing and carefully stepped into the bathing barrel.
The warm water reached over her body, Ji Nuan leaned against the barrel wall with satisfaction, she took a long breath. It was incredibly comfortable.
Having soaked for a while, she took a small piece of beast skin hanging on the edge of the barrel to scrub herself thoroughly.
