In the Middle of the Night

So, Fu Hao Xin spent most of his days in such a manner. Due to the silvers, he had brought back when he first descended the mountain, and after selling a couple of furs, he and Aunty Wu were relatively well stockpiled. So, other than spending time eating and a little bit of time doing some household chores, Fu Hao Xin spent most of his time in the back courtyard practicing the manual. 

Practicing in such a manner, he woke up every day finding that his muscles were rather sore, but not only did this not discourage him, but instead, it made him even more enthusiastic. Although he couldn't tell his exact growth, he could tell that he was growing stronger by the day. With this budding strength bringing joy to his heart, he sunk himself into further practice, doing his best to forget about the gray world around him.
