Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Chapter 172 Emergency State Activated

The Daxia merchant was initially a little worried about whether he could defend Yingshan after obtaining it from Buhu. Later, Zong Zhengliang told him not to worry, as the Huns would soon have no energy to take care of the place.

By then they would have the agreement in hand and military force, and it would be impossible for Bu Hu to drive them away.

Both sides have their own ideas and their own reliance. Time will tell who has the upper hand.

When the Daxia merchant arrived at Yingshan with some Daxia soldiers disguised as guards, Jiang Tuan, who was taking a bath, suffered a blow that was no less severe than the last time he was woken up in the middle of the night.

Speaking of taking a bath, this is also something that Jiang Tuan is very uncomfortable with after coming to Daxia.

The people of Daxia seldom bathe, even the princes and nobles. The medical conditions here are too poor, and a small cold can be fatal.

Between staying alive and being clean, most people would choose the former.

This resulted in the royal family and nobles not taking baths often during the summer, and even treating bathing as a big event, requiring a lot of preparation before taking a bath, especially in the autumn when the weather was getting colder.

For example, before taking a bath, you should choose a sunny day, or see a doctor to see if you have any discomfort before taking a bath. Also, you should take care of yourself before and after taking a bath, etc. In short, nothing can be missed.

The first time Jiang Tuan took a bath like this, he was really not used to it.

In his mind, bathing is a very simple matter. If you want to wash quickly, a piece of soap can do everything, and it can be done in five minutes. If you want to wash more carefully, you just need to replace the soap with shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, etc. There is no need for so much mess.

But what about in Daxia? Taking a bath requires a lot of trouble, such as having someone boil water, getting ready to wear clothes, having someone to help you throughout the bath, and having someone to take care of you from head to toe after the bath. It is even more cumbersome than going to a special bathhouse to take a bath.

Jiang Tuan could tolerate other things, but he couldn't stand being watched by a dozen slaves. After struggling with those slaves, he finally kept Ning Ling to help and drove everyone else out.

Because taking a bath in the middle of summer was too troublesome, Jiang Tuan usually tried to endure it as much as possible. At most, he would wash his long hair and wipe his body with hot water.

The main reason why he took a bath today was to test whether the dried soap was useful.

Last time in the kitchen, with the help of Jiayao, Jiang Tuan made some pancreas and soap. The soap cannot be used immediately after it is made and needs to be saponified for a period of time, but the pancreas can be used as soon as it is dry.

Originally, he wanted to wait until the pancreas dried before trying it, but then the Huns invaded and the Moon Festival came, so he forgot about it. It was not until Jia Yao asked him if he wanted to go and see those things that he remembered it.

The soap had not been left for long enough and had to be left there some more, but the soap was indeed ready, so he took a piece and washed his hands.

To be honest, the cleaning power of the stuff he made is not particularly good. It can't compare with modern laundry detergent and soap, but it is definitely better than Daxia's soapberry and rice water.

He heard that some ordinary people in Daxia did not even have soapberries or rice washing water, and usually used wood ash for cleaning.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the soap in his hand was already very good, so why did he need a bicycle. Besides, now he had the soap, and in the future he would have soap, so he would soon be able to achieve clean freedom.

After washing his hands with soap, he suddenly felt itchy all over and it was time to take a bath.

In fact, Jiang Tuan always finds it troublesome to take a bath, and Ning Ling feels like she is facing a formidable enemy.

There was no way. The other party didn't like being served by so many servants and always liked to do everything himself. He didn't dry himself properly after washing. He was really afraid that the other party would get sick accidentally. By then, not to mention His Majesty, even his godfather Ning Bai would have to skin him alive.

This time, when he heard that Jiang Tuan wanted to take a shower, he subconsciously wanted to persuade him, but when he saw the soap in the other person's hand, he didn't say much.

And just like that, three days after his last bath, Jiang Tuan took another one.

He used soap when washing and felt it was okay, so he thought of bringing the soap to Lan Shu tomorrow and letting her use it. If she felt it was suitable, he could do more.

As for why not today, it’s because he was grounded.

Every time he took a shower, Ning Ling would not allow him to go out that day, saying that he was afraid of getting sick. Once he wanted to go out, she would kneel on the ground and say she would not get up no matter what.

Jiang Tuan was a modern man after all, and he couldn't stand being begged on his knees. If the other party was being unreasonable, he could try to be ruthless, but since the other party was doing it for his own good, he couldn't just ignore it and had to compromise.

Then, just as he finished his shower and came out of the tub, the system's voice rang out at just the right moment.

The piercing dripping sound startled Jiang Tuan and he lost his balance. If Ning Ling hadn't reacted quickly, he would have fallen flat on his face naked!

¥%%……%¥&*())*%@, he dared to guarantee that this time he would curse even more fiercely than the last time he was woken up!

He just didn't understand. The system was clearly an advanced intelligence that could take people through time and space, so why didn't it consider the time and occasion at all every time it appeared?

After tidying himself up with difficulty, he didn't ask Ning Ling to help him dry his hair. He just got into bed and asked people to leave.

After everyone left, Jiang Tuan complained in his mind very unhappily.

"System, can you not appear so suddenly next time? I've already told you that if you scare me to death and no one helps you get energy, you will have to stay in Daxia and never be able to return to your own world."

"Dear, the system doesn't want to scare you. There was an accident and the system's emergency state was activated!"

State of emergency? Why is there a state of emergency? Is something bad happening?

Jiang Tuan didn't have time to get angry with the system, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Jiang Huai?"

Jiang Qi had previously analyzed with him the timing of Jiang Huai's illness, and the result of the analysis was that it would probably take some time before it happened.

But nothing in the world is foolproof, and his butterfly has already appeared, so it wouldn't seem strange even if something was changed.

"Honey, calm down, it's not Jiang Huai, it's the energy now!"

The system's words made Jiang Tuan feel relieved. He was almost scared to death. But when he heard about the energy, his unhappy mood came back.

He was really happy when he started collecting energy, and he wanted to ask the system about the energy collection status every day.

Later, as time went on, he asked less and less often, only asking when he wanted to replace something.

In order to save up energy to open the other dimension, he didn't even exchange his belongings during this period and stopped asking the system how much it had collected.

The main thing is that some of the things he created have slowly spread out, and even if some things have not spread out, they have been used in certain places.

Therefore, the system collected energy every day, but it did not collect enough to open the alien space. He stopped asking more questions, fearing that the system would find him annoying.
