After renting the courtyard and finding a place to settle, everyone's tightly wound tension relaxed a bit.
After assigning some tasks, Zhao Ge took Shou Hou out for a stroll, saying they were going to find a bathhouse to take a bath and change clothes. As a young woman, Rong Niang and Zhao Qian found it inconvenient to go to the bathhouse so they chose a private room, boiled a pot of hot water, and prepared to clean up in the room.
They had been on the move for several days, covered in dust and dirt, reeking and sour, with a tinge of blood in their odor. They hadn't taken care of these things earlier due to their escape, but now that they could breathe a sigh of relief, it was natural to clean themselves up.
Having run the school for many years, Zhao Ge and his disciples all liked to be clean.
