Chapter 9 - 9 8 Night Talk
?Chapter 9: Chapter 8 Night Talk Chapter 9: Chapter 8 Night Talk The fire in the kang stove had been lit, and the clay kang swiftly became warm, then hot, warming up the entire cabin as well.
But in the latter half of the night, without additional wood to fuel it, the kang’s warmth would diminish, and the room’s temperature would only drop further.
Gao Yuan had a sleeping bag, so he had no problems when sleeping alone, but now there were two people and only one sleeping bag.
