Chapter 35: This Is Not a Mouth-Wiping Cloth

~8 min read 1,483 words

Bai Wei arrived at the wholesale market.

She asked Xiao Moting, and there were over three hundred female soldiers in the battalion.

Although the border customs were rugged, in ancient times, there were still strict boundaries between men and women.

A section of the military camp was specifically partitioned for the female soldiers to live in, and soldiers were sent to guard it day and night, just in case.

The weather over there was too cold, and the girls could not be allowed to freeze.

Two thousand sets each of women's thermal underwear and self-heating thermal clothing, to make changing and washing convenient.

Also wool socks, warm gloves, fluffy hats...

Long, cold-resistant Down Jacket, buy big brands, filled with white duck down, warm from head to toe.

After Bai Wei finished paying, she had spent over two million.

Looking up, she saw a cleaning supplies store running an advertisement.

"Space 7, big sale!"

Bai Wei blinked.

That's right!

Girls have those few special days every month.

Ancient conditions were scarce; she had heard that ancient women used wood ash during those days, and only young ladies from wealthy families could afford cloth strips.

The sanitary conditions were too poor; a moment of carelessness could lead to gynecological diseases, and periods were even viewed as "unclean"!

The girls in ancient times were truly too miserable.

Bai Wei felt heartache for them.

Space 7, Free Point, Kotex... get them all arranged.

Also sanitary pants, making changing and washing even more convenient.

Cleaning supplies were also needed, scented soap, body wash...

There was nothing to eat in the military camp, and the female soldiers all ate brown rice.

A wave of snacks, too.

Liuliu Plum, Qiaqia sunflower seeds, Xiangpiaopiao milk tea...

Bai Wei swept through the wholesale market.

She had the goods packed into cardboard boxes and sent them all over.

She even left a special message for Xiao Moting.

"These are items for the female soldiers; the male soldiers are not allowed to steal or open them."

Whoosh!

A mountain-high pile of items poured out of the wardrobe, leaving Han Guiying dumbfounded.

"Are... are these all for us?"

Xiao Moting gave an "en"; he had just seen Bai Wei's message and moved the wardrobe outside the Female Soldier Camp.

Because the Goddess had given instructions that the male soldiers were not allowed to touch them.

"I am truly so grateful to Shennü Daren." Han Guiying was inexplicably moved and immediately called the female soldiers to move everything back into the camp.

The gifts were all moved into the barracks.

The female soldiers surrounded the boxes, full of curiosity.

"So many Western scented soaps; these would sell for one tael of silver each at the Hu merchant firms in Shengjing."

"Is the bodice from the Goddess actually like this? This fabric is so light and thin, like the celestial clothing of a fairy..."

"The hat is so warm, so soft..."

Inside the military tents, the exclamations of the female soldiers rang out incessantly.

These things, let alone having seen them, they hadn't even heard of them!

Han Guiying took off her cotton robe and put on a "Yaya" long Down Jacket; she immediately felt her whole body lighten, as if she had stepped into a warm stove.

She opened a pack of "Space 7" but frowned in confusion.

The thin cotton pad inside, was it meant for wiping one's mouth?

Han Guiying cautiously picked up a piece, wiped it on her mouth, and her eyes immediately lit up.

So soft!

And there was a faint fragrance!

The Goddess's mouth-wiping cloths were actually so exquisite.

At this moment, a female soldier ran over holding a cardboard box and spoke in a hesitant, low voice.

"General Han, look, Shennü Daren also sent us this..."

A note was stuck to the box, and Bai Wei had thoughtfully written the use for each item.

Han Guiying took one look, and her cheeks immediately turned red.

So, the "Space 7" in her hand was not a mouth-wiping cloth, but was used for...

While feeling embarrassed, she was also filled with emotion.

Shennü Daren was truly too thoughtful; she had considered everything for them so thoroughly!

It was very inconvenient for the female soldiers in the military camp, especially during those few days; everyone used wood ash, and a moment of carelessness would stain their clothes.

Everyone would sneak to the frozen river in the middle of the night to wash their clothes, their fingers frozen red, and the female soldiers with weaker bodies would even faint from the cold by the river...

Now that they had these things sent by the Goddess, they would never have to wash things in the frozen river in the middle of the night again.

Han Guiying distributed the items, gathered everyone together, and held the items one by one to explain their uses.

The female soldiers listened with wide eyes, letting out exclamations from time to time.

"So... that's how it's used?"

"The young women in the Goddess's world are truly fortunate; the things they use are so good."

"... What? The young women in the world of the gods can choose the men they want to marry themselves? They can even study with men, take exams, and become officials together? I truly envy them."

The female soldiers were grateful to Bai Wei and were also filled with longing for the world of the gods.

They also presented gifts one after another.

Embroidered handkerchiefs, Scent Sachets, small hand warmers, Cosmetic Boxes...

These were all items they treasured; some were even keepsakes left behind by their parents.

Han Guiying organized the items and sent them to Xiao Moting, asking him to pass them on to Bai Wei.

Outside the camp.

Xiao Dabao smacked his lips in envy.

Eating the food sent by the Goddess, he had been fed until he was three times fatter.

Now, seeing Bai Wei send a large batch of supplies to the female soldiers, he drooled with greed.

"When will the Divine Maiden send us something to eat too? Preferably Shuanghui ham sausage, Maling luncheon meat..."

Qin Zhan interrupted, "Xiao Dabao, you've gained fifteen pounds; you're almost catching up to the pigs raised in the main camp!"

Just as they were speaking, the wardrobe suddenly rattled, and a huge pile of food poured out.

Instant noodles, spicy gluten strips, biscuits...

Basket after basket of various vegetables...

Fresh chicken, duck, fish, and meat...

"Xiao Moting, I've collected more vegetables in the village; I'm sending them to everyone to improve the meals!"

"Shennü Daren, thank goodness you didn't forget Dabao..." Xiao Dabao was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.

He could have a feast again tonight!

A warmth could not help but rise in the deepest part of Xiao Moting's heart.

She was very thoughtful; not only did she consider the female soldiers, but she also sent food for them as well.

The Military Doctors were learning medical skills following the Projector and had already begun using the injured warhorses, as well as cattle and sheep in the camp, to practice surgery.

In two more days, they would be able to treat the Old General's injuries!

He opened the wardrobe and placed a large porcelain jar, half the height of a person, inside.

Inside the jar were the thank-you gifts that the soldiers and female soldiers had just sent.

Now, his Mental Power had improved somewhat, allowing him to perform more Teleportation of items.

"What a large porcelain jar!"

Bai Wei opened the wardrobe, looked at the jar filled with items, and was dumbfounded.

But after seeing Xiao Moting's note, a deep warmth welled up in her heart again.

These dozens of antiques were all thank-you gifts from the soldiers to her!

Xiao Moting said that the soldiers were filled with gratitude toward her!

Bai Wei picked up a Cosmetic Box.

The copper powder box was carved with exquisite intertwined flower patterns and inlaid with colorful stones she did not recognize.

This must have been a thank-you gift from a female soldier to her.

In the desolate environment of a military camp, this Cosmetic Box must have been that female soldier's most precious possession.

Bai Wei examined them one by one, her heart filled with emotion.

"Woof woof!"

Dahuang pounced to the side of the small horse, sniffing incessantly.

In less than two days, the little red horse had already grown accustomed to life on the Farm; compared to the barren Daliang, it had green grass to eat when hungry, water to drink when thirsty, and could even gnaw on peaches from the trees when bored, so it no longer wanted to leave.

"Buzz buzz."

The phone received a text message.

It was sent by Zhou Yuchuan.

"The inspection team arrives tonight. Tomorrow morning at eight, Professor Ye and I will wait for you at the entrance of the Zhenbei King Tomb."
