Chapter 328: Happy Camping in the Wild

Xiao Moting called over the soldiers and had all the goods Bai Wei had exchanged for loaded into the horse-drawn carriages.

Bai Wei was satisfied and left the shop.

Her business had already opened before they even reached Yannan City.

As soon as she got into the carriage, Bai Wei immediately used her mind to teleport the entire carriage-load of goods into the Warehouse in Qingshan Village, stacking them all neatly on the fifth floor.

Now, she was already able to skillfully use her mind to control the entire Warehouse.

Where things were placed, how they were placed, how much was placed...

It was all within a single thought of hers.

The convoy drove out of the city gates and arrived at a nearby patch of woods.

It was already dark, the woods were very quiet, and there were no signs of people around.

Xiao Moting then ordered the convoy to stop moving, found an open space in the woods, and prepared to set up camp.

The soldiers also stopped; some fed the horses, others prepared sleeping mats...

Sleeping in the open for a night was nothing unusual for the Beijiang Army.

Xiao Moting walked to the side of the carriage, "Bai, since you aren't staying at an inn in the city, you'll have to make do in the carriage tonight. The dew is too heavy in the woods at night, and there are many mosquitoes and insects; it isn't very safe for you to sleep in the open with everyone else."

Bai Wei blinked her eyes, "Who said I was going to sleep in the open?"

"Then you—"

"Wait." Bai Wei immediately jumped off the carriage and waved her hand forward.

Whoosh!

A large tent instantly appeared in the open space.

Inside the tent was a large bed, simple tables and chairs, and brand-new bedding spread out on the bed!

The Beijiang Army soldiers all around were stunned.

Someone who had been holding a bundle of withered grass, preparing to make a grass mat to sleep on, dropped the grass to the ground when they saw the tent appear out of thin air.

"I'm staying here tonight." Bai Wei smiled and waved her hand again.

Not far ahead, five or six small, military-green tents instantly appeared.

These tents were also outdoor supplies she had bought.

Although her large tent was one of a kind and these small tents couldn't compare to it, they were still very comfortable to sleep in.

Inside the tents, there were waterproof ground mats, thick mattresses, and breathable mesh vents.

Once the tent door was zipped shut, it could keep out both rain and mosquitoes.

Bai Wei lifted her chin, "Everyone will sleep in the tents tonight."

After saying this, she looked at the sky.

"It's still early; if you all can't sleep, watch some television to pass the time."

As Bai Wei spoke, she moved her mind.

A floor stand instantly appeared in front, and on the stand was a Sunkai video player for the elderly—the kind used by seniors for square dancing; it didn't need the internet, just a USB Flash Drive to play songs and movies.

It had a super-large screen and even came with its own Sound System!

In an instant, the surrounding Beijiang soldiers were in an uproar, flocking to the video player to see the novelty.

Bai Wei picked up the remote control and pressed a button on the video player.

Suddenly, a few large characters appeared on the screen.

"Let the Bullets Fly"

This was a modern-era movie.

The Beijiang Army all gathered around, watching with eyes full of wonder.

"Is this the world from the Goddess's side?"

"Look, they not only have horse-drawn carriages there, but also many automobiles."

"Guns, the people in the movie have guns."

Everyone rarely watched modern movies, so they all found it very novel and were startled by every little thing.

Bai Wei smiled, "Everyone sit in front and watch the movie; I'll get you some snacks."

As she said this, she moved her mind again.

In front of the large screen, several crates of drinks appeared, along with a large bag of melon seeds, peanuts, and bottled water.

The Beijiang Army soldiers were overjoyed.

They had tents to sleep in, movies to watch, and melon seeds, peanuts, and bottled water to eat!

Wasn't this more comfortable than staying at an inn?

Even if there were a better inn now, they wouldn't want to stay there.

The Beijiang Army soldiers crowded in front of the large screen, watching the modern movie with great relish.

Just then, Bai Wei felt her hem being tugged gently.

She quickly turned around and saw Xiao Lujing standing behind her.

"Lujing, aren't you going to join everyone and watch the movie?"

Xiao Lujing hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Moting standing not far away, and spoke.

"Sister Bai, when you rested in the past, Father always slept at your door; he would lay out a mat outside to prevent anyone from doing you harm."

"What?" Bai Wei was taken aback, "Xiao Moting has been sleeping at my door?"

"Yes." Xiao Lujing nodded, "Sometimes he wouldn't sleep all night and would just stand at your door."

He felt it was necessary to tell Bai Wei.

Because while traveling these past few days, after Xiao Moting arranged Bai Wei's lodging, he would stand at her door all night, only taking a short nap when it was almost dawn.

Bai Wei was speechless for a moment, a surge of complex emotions welling up in her heart; she felt both warmed and touched.

She had always assumed that Xiao Moting would be sleeping in the room next door, or somewhere else entirely.

Yet she never expected that he had been guarding her doorway the entire time.

If Xiao Lujing hadn't let it slip, she might never have known about this.

No wonder she had noticed faint dark circles under Xiao Moting's eyes; it turned out he hadn't been resting well.

Xiao Moting walked over, "What are you two chatting about?"

Xiao Lujing glanced at him, turned around, and tactfully walked away.

"We were chatting about how you've raised a good son," Bai Wei smiled, reached out to tug on Xiao Moting's sleeve, and then pointed toward her large tent, "Come in with me."

Xiao Moting hesitated for a moment, turning his head to glance at the crowd behind him.

The Beijiang Army was all crowded in front of the television screen, watching with great interest, and no one noticed what was happening over here.

He nodded, "Let's go."

The two of them walked into the tent together.

With a flash of thought, Bai Wei took a sewing kit out from the Warehouse and tilted her chin upward.

"Xiao Moting, you didn't even realize your clothes were torn; let me mend them for you."

Xiao Moting lowered his head and discovered that there was a tear on his shoulder, though he had no idea when it had happened.

He paused, "Bai, you have been traveling all day and must be exhausted; let me handle the sewing."

"You know how to sew?" Bai Wei was surprised now.

A man who knows how to sew is a rare species, let alone one who is the high-ranking and powerful Prince of the Beijiang!

He is not only handsome and skilled in martial arts, but he can also cook and sew... he is practically a jack-of-all-trades!

Xiao Moting felt a bit embarrassed, his well-defined, handsome face flushing slightly red.

"When the Beijiang Army goes out on campaigns, we often don't return to camp for months. Since the army is mostly men, there is no one to help with mending or washing, so we have to know a little bit of everything."

Bai Wei let out a giggle.

With a wave of her hand, a large strawberry cream cake appeared on the table.

"Xiao Moting, you were busy picking food for me the whole time we were eating earlier, so you definitely didn't eat well."

"You eat something first, and I'll mend your clothes for you."

Xiao Moting is a soldier, so his appetite must be quite large, yet he hadn't eaten much earlier because he was only focused on picking food for her; he clearly wasn't full, but he didn't say a word.

Besides, he hadn't been sleeping well these past few nights either.

So, she would handle a small task like sewing herself.
