Grandma Lu Shui wiped the water from her hands and stood up. "We don't have to go out and gather today, so it's a good day to rest. Yue, is there something Grandma can help you with?"
Wu Yue smiled and nodded. "It's not for me, actually. It's for Qingcao."
She glanced at Qingcao, who looked dejected after her request for a bath had been denied. "It's really not good for Qingcao to go so long without bathing. Not only does it look unkempt, but the smell isn't pleasant either.
"Besides, it's unhealthy to not bathe for a long time. Little bugs can start living on our bodies, and we could even get seriously ill."
Grandma Lu Shui's face paled slightly. "This... you get bugs on you from not bathing?"
Apparently, that was a question Wu Yue didn't need to answer. Qingcao, standing to the side, rummaged through her own hair for a few seconds before pulling out a bug the size of a pinky fingernail.
