During this period, something happened in Xiaocao's family. Xiaocao and Aunt Gu were so busy that they had no time to come to Zhao Qingshan's house.
Ten days later, Zhou Yuanyuan finally woke up.
When Zhou Yuanyuan opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Wen Ziqing sitting on the ground, practicing Qigong with his eyes closed. Then, she smelled a sour, stinky odor emanating from her.
What a stink! Zhou Yuanyuan frowned.
Seeing that Wen Ziqing was practicing with his eyes closed, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to get up and disturb him. She lay on the bed and waved her hands, and a water mirror appeared out of thin air.
Who is this woman in the mirror with a black face and dirty hair that is almost clumping together?
Zhou Yuanyuan was frightened by her own appearance. Her hand trembled, and the water mirror scattered, splashing all over her head and face.
"Yuanyuan, are you awake?" Wen Ziqing heard the noise and quickly stopped practicing and rushed to Zhou Yuanyuan's bed.
Zhou Yuanyuan's hair was damp, and the black dust on her face had been washed away by the water, leaving a few white streaks. She looked like a kitten that had just been washed down after getting dirty from playing. Coupled with Zhou Yuanyuan's innocent eyes, Wen Ziqing found her adorable no matter how he looked at her.
Just as Wen Ziqing reached out a hand to rub Zhou Yuanyuan's hair, Zhou Yuanyuan yelled, "Brother Ziqing, stop, stop, stop... Turn around quickly!"
Wen Ziqing was stunned. What was wrong with Yuanyuan? Did she not want to have any contact with him?
"Brother Ziqing, please help me boil a pot of bath water! I am almost stinking!" Zhou Yuanyuan pushed Wen Ziqing's arm and finally woke him up. Wen Ziqing wanted to touch such dirty hair, but Zhou Yuanyuan was embarrassed!
"Okay, okay, Yuanyuan, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Wen Ziqing finally understood that the little girl was shy! However, Wen Ziqing didn't understand Zhou Yuanyuan's inner entanglement. In Wen Ziqing's opinion, what's wrong with dirty hair? They were training in the army and were often covered in mud.
But since Zhou Yuanyuan had given him an order, Wen Ziqing had to do it as soon as possible. Without waiting for Zhou Yuanyuan to glare at him, Wen Ziqing quickly went into the kitchen.
Zhou Yuanyuan glared at Wen Ziqing's back, feeling secretly annoyed. Every girl in love is the same: they want to appear flawless in their lover's eyes. Zhou Yuanyuan was no exception. Thinking of the disheveled face in the water mirror, she couldn't help but shudder. It's over! Brother Ziqing, when he wants to kiss her next time, won't he remember how ugly she looked? If that happens, how can he kiss her?
Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head and decided not to think about such a profound question. After all, Wen Ziqing was going to the Northern Military Region in a few days. After that, they didn't know how many years it would take for them to meet again! Besides, it would be embarrassing for a girl to always think about kissing or something like that!
After a cultivator draws Qi into their body, the flushing of spiritual energy causes impurities to be excreted through their pores. By the time a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, most of the impurities in their bodies have been expelled. Zhou Yuanyuan expelled some more impurities this time, likely due to the Life Essence.
Wen Ziqing was busy preparing the bath water, while Zhou Yuanyuan frantically performed a few "Dust Removal Techniques" on herself. She then conjured a water mirror to look at her image. After deciding that she didn't look so "ugly" anymore, she leisurely walked towards the bathroom.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were "enjoying" their pastoral life in Zhaojiagou, but Kyoto City was already in turmoil.
The story begins with Wen Yulong. This time, Wen Yulong is in big trouble.
After Wen Yulong was transferred to the Kyoto Military District, Commander Yuan of the military district asked Wen Yiran to be in charge of military supplies and logistics because of Wen Yulong's family and the fact that he was "General Zhou's future relative."
It's no secret that logistics, regardless of the organization, is a lucrative business. It's become an unwritten rule in the industry for logistics managers to profit from the price difference with suppliers. As long as the misdeeds aren't excessive, the organization's leaders generally turn a blind eye.
However, bribery and corruption are forbidden in the military. To ensure soldiers can train without worries, the military supplies are of guaranteed quality. From clothing, shoes, and socks to quilts and cotton-padded jackets, prices are slightly higher than those for ordinary civilian goods, as each supplier selects the highest quality items.
On New Year's Eve, Commander Yuan celebrated with the soldiers at the military region. The regiments under the military region held not only singing competitions but also martial arts competitions.
During the competition, there was a scene of laughter.
Wu Baiyang was a soldier from the Second Company of the Third Regiment, and Hu Dashan was a soldier from the Second Company of the Second Regiment. Both Wu Baiyang and Hu Dashan were outstanding fighters in their respective companies, and tonight, they were representing their respective companies in the competition, and happened to be assigned to the same group.
Wu Baiyang waited until Hu Dashan revealed a flaw, then twisted his body and grabbed Hu Dashan's clothes on the back, preparing to subdue Hu Dashan with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Wu Baiyang's hand just grabbed Hu Dashan's clothes, and just as he exerted force, he tore a large piece of cloth from Hu Dashan's back. Hu Dashan dodged Wu Baiyang's attack and hit Wu Baiyang with a "sweeping kick".
Wu Baiyang lay on the ground, clutching the piece of cloth he'd torn from Hu Dashan, completely bewildered. Was he dreaming? Hu Dashan's uniform was as brittle as paper, ripping apart with a single rip. Was this a new tactic Hu Dashan had employed? During training, Wu Baiyang and the soldiers in his company would often wrestle each other like this, and their clothes had never been torn. The fabric of their uniforms had always been very sturdy.
The soldiers roared with laughter at the dramatic turnaround in the battle between Wu Baiyang and Hu Dashan. Only Commander Yuan and several regimental commanders frowned.
Just as Wu Baiyang had thought, the fabrics of their military uniforms were thick and breathable. Wu Baiyang's martial arts were just ordinary military boxing, and he had no sharp weapons, so how could he have snatched a piece of fabric from Hu Dashan's back with just one grab?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Commander Yuan waited until the "big competition" was over and quickly called several regiment commanders to a meeting.
When Commander Yuan asked about the quality of the military supplies they had distributed recently, the regimental commanders initially looked at each other in bewilderment. Later, it was Zhu Yingfeng, the commander of the Second Regiment, who gritted his teeth and told the truth.
Over the past six months, the military supplies the soldiers received looked similar to those received in previous years, but in fact, the quality was so poor that it was unbearable.
The fabric of the uniforms was flimsy, and the shoes started to tear after less than a month of wear. Most importantly, the once fluffy and warm quilts and cotton coats had become stiff and not warm at all.
