Chapter 75 The Moon of Yesteryear
Neither of them dared to stop along the way. It wasn't until dawn that they passed through the dense forest and discovered a caravan below.
Not knowing the other party's character, Xiao Yang told Xie Ning to hide it first while he went down to check. If it was alright, he might be able to ask the other party to give him a ride.
Xie Ning nodded gently. After Xiao Yang left, Xie Ning, who was pale, took out iodine and ointment from her space to apply medicine to her arm. Even though it was wrapped in gauze and covered by long sleeves, it didn't matter.
Because of her poor landing posture, she had a lot of abrasions on her arms, and after walking for so long, her feet were covered in blisters. She pricked them one by one with a needle, then applied medicine, wrapped them with gauze, and then took off the long hair tie she used to tie her hair and wrapped it around her feet to cover the white gauze underneath.
These shoes aren't closed-heeled, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to wrap them up with a hairband.
Following Xiao Yang up was a woman wearing a sheepskin jacket, who looked to be in her early twenties. She had slightly dark skin, and her lips were a little chapped, perhaps because of the dry weather. She looked somewhat weathered, but her eyes were very bright.
Seeing Xie Ning sitting on the ground, he quickly went up to greet her, "This must be the lady you were talking about? You're so beautiful! Hello, sir, my name is Ge Dani, and I'm the one escorting the caravan below!"
Ms.?
Xie Ning glanced at Xiao Yang, unsure of what Xiao Yang had said, but still smiled gently at Ge Dani and extended her right hand to shake hers, "Hello, my name is Xie Ning, courtesy name Changning."
Ge Dani glanced at Xie Ning's outstretched hand and clasped it with both of hers.
The girl's enthusiasm was so overwhelming that Xie Ning couldn't handle it. He secretly asked Xiao Yang what she had said. Xiao Yang was also completely baffled. He only said that Xie Ning was a middle school teacher and he was a bodyguard. They had encountered bandits on the road and that's why they had escaped here.
Actually, only Xie Ning found it strange, but Xiao Yang didn't find it strange at all. Everyone has a natural admiration and respect for scholars, especially teachers in schools. Even though Xie Ning is a woman, there are few female teachers, let alone one who teaches in a big city.
Therefore, although the people in the caravan were wary of Xie Ning and Xiao Yang's appearance, they also showed a hint of respect. It wasn't that Ge Dani wasn't wary, but rather that she considered herself highly skilled in martial arts, and she was the leader of this caravan!
Moreover, Xie Ning looked very refined and gentle, and didn't seem like a fake gentleman at all. Of course, Ge Dani was straightforward and pulled out a newspaper from her bag and asked Xie Ning to read it to her!
With so many words in the newspaper, if Xie Ning is making up an identity, he will definitely be exposed.
On the other side, Kasai shook his head when he saw how easily Kasai trusted others. Oh well, of the two of them, only the man seemed to be a trained fighter. They weren't a threat. The other party had already paid him, so he might as well consider it extra money.
Looking at the familiar newspaper in front of her, Xie Ning chuckled and sat down on a nearby rock to read aloud. After reading only a few paragraphs, Ge Dani felt dizzy. The advertisements in the newspaper were so convoluted and literary, so she simply turned to the other side and pointed to the text under the cartoon, saying, "Mr. Xie, could you read this part?"
Ge Dani was quite resentful. She really liked the comic, but for some reason, the literate foreman in the caravan refused to read it to her, even scolding her for being immoral. She was so angry that she almost didn't want to take the caravan's orders anymore.
Xie Ning was taken aback. Wasn't this the comic she had drawn?
She sent Aunt Liu a letter along with the second Mrs. Zhang's letter, along with the cartoon and written explanations she drew. The main explanations were about the usage techniques of sanitary napkins and some precautions that women should take during their menstrual period. She also sent a copy of the cartoon to the newspaper.
Of course, the newspaper didn't want to publish it, but Xie Ning's financial offensive forced them to pay for it themselves. Besides advertising and promoting Zhang Ertai's sanitary napkins in the domestic market, they also genuinely wanted to raise awareness of this hygiene issue among more women.
Comics and text are combined primarily to cater to illiterate people, since the vast majority of people in this society are illiterate.
She has been using the same pen name as before, since she has become more famous, has more readers, and has a greater influence.
Did you understand this comic?
Ge Dani nodded emphatically. The little comic was very simple and easy to understand, but she didn't know what the words meant. She wanted to learn, but there was no one to teach her. Besides, her father said she was stupid. Learning martial arts was fine, but studying was a waste of time and money.
"Okay, the following are some things about women's menstrual cycles..."
Xie Ning explained in detail, and because Ge Dani was also a woman and listened attentively, Xie Ning even added some information that wasn't in the newspaper.
