Chapter 197: Scallion-Roasted Intestines and Crispy Roast Suckling Pig
Waking from sleep, Lin Heng glanced at Xiulan beside him for a moment before quietly getting out of bed and getting dressed.
Xiulan did the same when she woke up—there were others in the house, so there was no way they could just lounge around in bed.
Lin Heng added a bit of firewood to the fireplace, then fetched some charcoal and lit it, preparing to burn a basin of coals for roasting once Old Man Gao woke up.
Though their bedroom was warm, it wasn’t appropriate to invite guests in there. It would be uncomfortable for everyone.
He opened the door to the backyard, and a gust of icy wind howled in like the roar of a beast, making it hard to step outside.
Whether it was a light snowfall from the night before or just heavy frost, the world outside was blanketed in white. It looked like one of those poetic winter scenes—”not knowing if the snow fell this morning, or if the forest flowers bloomed last night.”
Lin Heng had slept well and felt especially refreshed today. He took Xiulan out into the courtyard for their usual morning workout.
At first, Xiulan had doubted whether the exercise was effective, but after practicing Tai Chi and the Eightfold Vajra Technique with Lin Heng for a while, she had to admit it helped. At the very least, her hands and feet weren’t as cold anymore, and her body felt more balanced and coordinated.
