"Smack!" Miss Ling slapped the woman across the face. "You filthy beggar, don't you have eyes? Can you afford to pay for the clothes you've dirtied?"
The woman was stunned by the slap. When she came to her senses, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not watching where I was going."
"You bumped into me without looking where you were going?" she said, reaching out to hit him again.
"That's enough, take it back."
"Ah Yu!"
"General!"
"Take him back immediately, didn't you hear me?"
Miss Ling didn't want to leave, so two soldiers each grabbed one of her arms and pulled her forward. She shouted, "Ayu, you..."
"Gag him."
The soldier took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Miss Ling's mouth, which finally calmed her down.
Bai Shuang quickly stepped forward to check on the woman from earlier. "Are you alright? That person has a mental illness, please don't mind her."
As he spoke, he took out a pound of rice bricks from his backpack and handed them to the woman, saying, "To calm your nerves."
The woman saw it was rice, took it with one hand, looked around, and then carefully stuffed it into her bosom. "No problem, no problem, it's alright, I'm tough."
Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to calm the woman down. If she had been used by someone with ulterior motives to incite the public to cause trouble in front of the military camp, things would have been disastrous.
"What did I just see you looking for?"
Seeing that Bai Shuang seemed like a good person, the woman felt less apprehensive and said, "I want to find a stall to exchange these for some grain."
As she spoke, the woman took out the books from her pocket and showed them to Bai Shuang. Before the disaster, her family ran a restaurant. There were five books in total, all of them handwritten copies of exclusive recipes.
Bai Shuang was overjoyed; she had struck gold.
"How much grain will I give you?"
"Can...can I exchange it for five jin of rice?"
Bai Shuang took out 5 jin of rice for her, "Is there any left at home?"
The woman looked at Bai Shuang again; he didn't seem like a bad person. She nodded. "There's more."
