260 The Apothecary Opens
The next day, when the door was opened, the outside was already a blanket of white. Snow had fallen throughout the night and still showed no signs of stopping, continuing to flutter down.
Zhao Dong, already wearing a straw raincoat, was clearing the accumulated snow in the yard.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu left the house at the same time. They both exhaled clouds of frosty breath and rubbed their hands together before picking up their bamboo hats and straw raincoats, intending to join Zhao Dong in clearing the snow.
Zhao Zhitong had woken as soon as the rhythmic swishing of snow-sweeping sounded in the courtyard.
At this time, the kang bed was still wonderfully warm. The doors and windows were shut tight, keeping the room cozy and snug.
She didn't feel the chill. She wriggled out from under the covers, propped her upper body against the window, and shouted towards the yard outside.
CREAK.
