Chapter 34: General Han's Thank-You Letter

As the voice fell, silence descended all around.

Immediately after, the soldiers knelt down one after another, their eyes filled with hot tears.

Everyone guarded Daliang, shedding blood and sacrificing their lives, yet what they received in return was the Imperial Court's disdain.

They had done nothing for the Goddess, yet she reached out to help them time and time again, giving them grain, giving them weapons, and even leading them to win battles!

Now, the Goddess was going to treat their illnesses as well.

The generals also knelt down, placing their right hands over their chests and murmuring to themselves.

They were praying for the Goddess!

Such a kind and selfless Goddess is worthy of everyone's reverence!

At this moment, Bai Wei's consciousness had already attached itself to Xiao Moting through the Jade Pendant.

She saw this scene.

Everyone was kneeling on the ground, praising her greatness and selflessness.

While moved, Bai Wei also felt a bit of trepidation in her heart.

She was just an ordinary girl, not the heavenly deity the soldiers spoke of, and certainly not omnipotent.

But she would do her utmost to help them overcome their many difficulties.

The Northern Frontier Camp was garrisoned with one hundred thousand troops, but most were old, weak, sick, or disabled.

The soldiers were dressed in rags, and their lives were even harder.

They could barely eat meat; what everyone ate most was still brown rice, tree bark, and wild vegetable porridge...

Bai Wei quietly returned.

She had to research how to farm and reclaim land on the ice plains, so that these hundred thousand-plus people could be well-fed and warmly clothed!

In the cold wind, Xiao Moting directed the soldiers to move the Hospital Beds into clean tents.

Spring was coming soon; when the frozen earth melted and the weather warmed, epidemics would run rampant if one wasn't careful.

At this time, Han Guiying ran over, her eyes flashing with excitement and gratitude.

"Prince, the Military Doctors followed the methods taught by Shennü Daren and gave my father the Anti-inflammatory Injection and Hemostatic Injection. Father's condition is controlled, and he has already fallen into a peaceful sleep."

Xiao Moting's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

He knew that Shennü Daren would be able to cure him.

"Senior Sister, once the Military Doctors learn how to perform fracture surgery in a few days, we will perform surgery on Old General Han. His leg will be like it was before—he will be able to run, jump, and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

"Really? That means my father won't be disabled?" Han Guiying's cheeks flushed with excitement.

That's wonderful!

Father won't just survive!

He will even be able to have his leg injury healed!

At this moment, she finally understood why Xiao Moting and his thirty thousand personal soldiers believed in the Goddess so firmly!

This girl named Bai Wei was indeed a great and kind Goddess!

Han Guiying fished something out from her bosom and handed it over, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Shennü Daren saved my father; I want to send a gift to thank the Goddess."

Xiao Moting reached out and took it.

Only then did he remember that the Goddess had sent so many precious items, yet he had not given her a return gift.

A sound of warhorses neighing came from afar.

Xiao Moting looked up and saw a group of horses drinking water and bathing by the river in the distance.

His heart stirred.

The Goddess transported large quantities of goods to them, but she had never mentioned what horses she used for transport.

Moreover, she had once said that she was just an ordinary person.

Xiao Moting immediately called for Xiao Dabao, "Did we capture over five thousand warhorses in this great victory over the Barbarians?"

"Yes, Prince."

"Pick a few obedient, good horses and send them to the Goddess."

"We are sending horses to Shennü Daren?" Xiao Dabao thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "Wudabu's mount just gave birth to a Little Red Colt; let's send the Little Red Colt to the Goddess as a gift."

"Bring it here!"

Soon, a Little Red Colt with a coat of pure red was brought before Xiao Moting.

He looked it over and indeed, it was a fine horse.

Pulling open the wardrobe, Xiao Moting drove the Little Red Colt inside.

He had nothing else of value to offer; he hoped Shennü Daren would like this Little Red Colt.

"... Chen Yeye, you want to sell your land?"

Bai Wei stood at the entrance of the Farm, her eyes wide with surprise.

Early in the morning, Chen Yeye had run over, saying he was going to the city for medical treatment and intended to sell his ten mu of land.

"I'm old now, and I can't farm the land anymore." Chen Yeye shook his head with a helpless smile, "Recently, you bought my greenhouse vegetables, and I've earned enough for the surgery for my coronary heart disease. I'm preparing to go to the city to see my nephew for treatment, and I'll return to the village once I've recovered."

"There isn't enough room to live in the city, so I can only leave Chen Ming in the village. If you have time, could you look after him?"

Chen Ming's intelligence was not high, and Chen Yeye was worried.

Bai Wei turned her head and glanced at her Farm.

The workers were working overtime, and the first floor of the Warehouse had already been built.

Because of this, the original five-mu Farm seemed a bit crowded, and the scale needed to be expanded.

She thought for a moment, "How about this: you sell the land to me, and Chen Ming can help me look after the Farm. It will also be convenient for me to look after him. I will pay him a salary of four thousand yuan per month, with room and board included!"

The scale of the Farm was expanding, and she needed help.

"Really? That would be truly wonderful."

Chen Yeye became happy at once.

He knew Bai Wei inside and out and knew she was kind and straightforward; with his grandson unable to find work outside, he felt at ease having him look after the Farm for her!

Chen Yeye went back to pack his luggage and brought Chen Ming over in the afternoon.

The Recreational Vehicle was parked on the courtyard, and Bai Wei got on the vehicle, preparing to discuss the land reclamation with Xiao Moting.

Just as she pulled open the wardrobe door, a massive creature suddenly jumped out from inside.

Caught off guard, Bai Wei was knocked to the ground by this thing.

"Ah!"

She let out a cry of surprise, looked up, and was instantly dumbfounded!

A date-red Little Red Colt was kicking its hooves wildly, slammed open the door of the Recreational Vehicle, and ran out with a toss of its hooves.

"H-h-how come a horse was sent?"

Bai Wei was so shocked that she stuttered.

At this moment, she saw two more items in the wardrobe.

One was a pale red Red Stone Bead Bracelet, and the other was a letter.

Bai Wei picked up the letter.

Elegant handwriting was written on the yellowing, coarse paper.

"To the Goddess Bai Wei:

My name is Han Guiying, daughter of the border-guarding Old General Han Zhongguo. I am grateful to the Goddess for saving my father and bestowing medicine upon the soldiers of Daliang.

This great kindness will never be forgotten.

......"

Bai Wei quickly read through the letter.

She understood.

It turned out to be the daughter of the Old General Han, writing specifically to thank her for healing her father's fracture.

Han Guiying was a Female General and also a senior martial sister of Xiao Moting.

She had not expected there to be a Female General in the Daliang camp.

Moreover, judging from Han Guiying's letter, she had many female soldiers under her command, all of whom were orphans left behind by fallen soldiers, as well as orphaned girls whose parents had died in the chaos of war.

The environment at the border was harsh, and the status of women in ancient times was low; they were often sold off like goods.

If these orphaned girls were left to wander, their prospects would be grim.

Taking them into the Daliang army meant they could barely get enough to eat and had a safe place to shelter from the wind and rain.

However, conditions in the camp were harsh; even if they did not go into battle to kill the enemy, they were likely not living very well.

Bai Wei thought for a moment, jumped into the Recreational Vehicle, and drove toward the town.

Everyone was a girl; she wanted to send supplies to these female soldiers to help them improve their lives!
