Everyone was confusedly organized by two four-year-olds.
Lame Man Uncle was among the first batch to go in for a bath.
Years of rough living had accustomed him to cold baths regardless of the season, and now, after three years, his first hot bath made him uncomfortable all over.
Especially his injured amputated leg, which trembled slightly.
However, once accustomed, he felt a long-missed relaxation; his limbs and body felt an unprecedented ease.
As he scrubbed off the dirt, Lame Man Uncle opened the bamboo tube, and the faint scent of soapberry wafted to his nostrils.
He didn't know how this soapberry liquid was made, but compared to what he had used before, it was much thicker and smoother.
Lame Man Uncle poured the soapberry liquid into his palm and rubbed it to create a fine foam.
He spread the foam over his body, and the dense foam quickly carried away the old dirt.
