"An actual bath for the first time in eighteen years..."
Tao Yu scrubbed the soap, wishing he could crush the entire bar and smear it all over his body.
The past eighteen years were hard to put into words; everyday he dealt with farming and wouldn't dream of having these toiletries.
If he ever got too dirty, he'd just resort to using charcoal powder.
It was cold water all year round, and those who weren't physically strong just wouldn't bathe in the winter.
Last time I returned, I was stinky and rusty and just had a cold rinse.
I was almost pickled in my own sweat.
But the Outer City smelled even worse, and after I arrived there, I was walking through streets full of zombies, with rotting smells everywhere, so it didn't matter much.
Now that I finally had a place to temporarily settle down and some daily necessities, Tao Yu wouldn't mistreat himself anymore and scrubbed vigourously, using all his strength when it came to exfoliating.
