Racing Against Time

On the 28th of the eighth lunar month in the 12th year of the Yuanping reign, Yan Liqiang, who was staying in Wuyang Village, woke up very early and started preparing for the busy day ahead of him.

Last time, he spent the day with Shi Dafeng. Both of them made plans to walk around Pingxi City for nearly the entire day. Since Yan Liqiang deliberately reported in at a different time than Shi Dafeng this time, both of them never met yesterday and they naturally didn't end up as neighbors to each other. Shi Dafeng probably still lived near Three Yuan Street while Yan Liqiang lived in Wuyang Village which was outside the city. Therefore, today was completely free for Yan Liqiang. No one would come to disturb him. He had the entire day to himself today.

The first thing Yan Liqiang did when he woke up was practice his morning regime.
