In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Qi Xuan is a very skilled hunter.

He had killed many prey, but never a human.

The raindrops, one by one, shrank from the tip of a needle to the size of a grain of millet.

A chill ran through him, but it cleared his mind even more. The person hadn't done anything wrong, so why kill?

The Jiang family didn't treat Jiang Mianmian well. Now that she's gone, she definitely won't go back. So what difference does it make whether she's killed or not?

He put away his arrows, lay quietly on the tree, and stared at the cave.

They would stare at it all night long.

The next day, the sky remained overcast.

Jiang Mianmian slept very well. When she woke up, she found that her merit points had increased again, which made her feel even better.

There are now a full 230 points!

If she accumulates more, she can spend more time in the warehouse and organize the supplies she's received; otherwise, it's really distressing to look at them. She needs to see which ones to use and which ones to store temporarily.

After pondering for a while, the aroma of rice porridge wafted in from outside.

Unlike the plain congee from last night, this one contains Chinese sausage and chopped dried vegetables.

Jiang Mianmian sat up with a jolt and found that she was the only one left in the cave.

Shouting at the top of her lungs, "Your favorite Mianmian is awake!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Third Sister came in carrying clothes. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"If she sleeps any longer, it will be lunchtime. Third Sister, quickly give her the clothes. Keep them warm in your arms. Don't spoil her."

That's what she said, but Seventh Sister was still holding a bowl of warm water.

Twelve Sister followed in, carrying tooth powder and a toothbrush.

Next came Fourteenth Sister, carrying a hot towel, and Twenty-Five, holding a jar of candied fruit.

The others didn't manage to grab anything, and Jiu Niang chased them away from outside, saying, "That cave is only a little bit big. If you all go in, how can you breathe inside? She'll be out in a bit, and we can talk about it then."

The first cave is also a large cave with smaller caves inside. The outer large cave is temporarily used for cooking and washing, while the four inner smaller caves are divided equally between the two teams. However, Lin Hu and Lin Bao live on the outside for the convenience of patrolling and protecting them.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was in the innermost, cleanest little cave.

She chuckled a few times, took the warm water and rinsed her mouth first, then pointed to the tooth powder and toothbrush, "Do you all use this?"

"Otherwise what? You're not so lazy as to not want to brush your teeth, are you?"

Seventh Sister glared at her, "I won't brush your teeth, you're a grown woman!"

"Come on! I'll teach you how to brush your teeth and wash your face!"

Jiang Mianmian waved her hand and led the group to the cave outside.

She found her backpack, took out her toothpaste and toothbrush, and said, "Come on, everyone, take your things out of the outer pocket of your backpack. This was sold to me by the traveling salesman when I bought the bag. It's really useful!"

The toothbrushes of this era already resembled modern toothbrushes, typically made of bone, bamboo, or wood in a long strip shape, with horsehair attached. But no matter how refined, they were not as soft and easy to use as modern toothbrushes.

Tooth powder is more expensive and easier to use than salt or coarse salt, but it is ultimately not as convenient as modern toothpaste.

The dozen or so young women studied very carefully, and after trying it out, they exclaimed in amazement.

Even at twenty-five, she was brushing her teeth quite skillfully with a children's toothbrush, making a "glug-glug" sound.

She tilted her head back and imitated Jiang Mianmian cleaning the depths of her mouth.

Jiang Mianmian hurriedly reminded, "Don't swallow..."

"Gudong~"

Twenty-five stared wide-eyed, "Huh?"

"...Get down."

Jiang Mianmian sighed, "This water is undrinkable, no matter how sweet it is, you have to spit it out!"

I should have bought her the mint flavor instead of the orange flavor!

Lin Hu and Lin Bao also came over, "Miss Mianmian, do you have any more of these? How much are they?"

"You all have them in your bags, just take them out and use them."

After brushing her teeth, Jiang Mianmian took out the face wash and demonstrated it to them again, "Everyone has one in the same place in their bags. Take it out and use it, but be careful not to get it in your eyes!"

"Good~"

Everyone responded in unison, like kindergarten children answering a teacher's question.

After washing her face, she took out a bottle of moisturizer. With limited resources, she could only keep it simple.

The moisturizing cream has a delicate, snow-white texture and a faint floral scent.

Qi Niang imitated her, dabbing a little with her fingertip, applying it to her face, and then spreading it out. "How come this stuff feels so good? If we could make more and sell it, why would we need to open Lingxiao Tower? We'd never have to worry about food and clothing again!"

"Seventh Sister understands me!"

Jiang Mianmian did indeed have this plan.

This is actually a particularly classic children's face cream in the modern world.

Not only does it smell good and work well, but it's also cheap. She bought a lot of it because she wanted to promote and sell it on a large scale after returning to Rongguo, making it an affordable face cream for ordinary people.

In Rongguo, moisturizing creams were called "face creams," and even the cheapest ones cost one tael of silver per box, something only wealthy families could afford. This is why, aside from clothing, one could tell a person's social standing just by looking at their face.

She didn't lack face cream while she was at Lingxiao Tower, but she knew it was precious and was very frugal. After returning to the Jiang family, not only her clothes, but also the two boxes of face cream she had brought with her fell into Li Shi's clutches, and she was forced to thank Jiang Ranran.

But Jiang Ranran did something quite different. She deliberately used face cream to wipe her feet in front of her, and then wiped her face and hands, which made her feel a pang of heartache.

That was specially bought for her by Ninth Sister! And she's using it to wipe her feet!

Later, Jiang Ranran developed many pimples on her face, with whiteheads on them, and pus oozing from them. She felt much better after that. Years later, while on a mission to the modern world, she learned that Jiang Ranran's pimples were likely a fungal infection.

As the saying goes, it's like her face got infected with athlete's foot! What a fragrant white lotus flower.

Jiang Mianmian got goosebumps all over and shook her head to shake the thought out of her mind.

No rush, let her settle Jiu Niang and the others first, then go down the mountain and deal with them one by one!

"Squeak."

The young ladies were gossiping excitedly.

Jiang Mianmian suddenly heard a faint sound.

She tilted her head slightly to confirm the direction, then stood up and put on her straw hat. "We'll set off in a bit. You guys pack your things first, I'll be back in a little while."

Where are you going again?

Jiu Niang was still worried. "How about we let Lin Hu go with you?"

"Need not."

Jiang Mianmian waved her hand and walked into the rain.

I casually broke off a thin twig. The figure seemed somewhat familiar, and didn't appear to have any ill intentions.

Let's check first, and if that doesn't work, then we'll take out our guns. In any case, we can't reveal their whereabouts.

Qi Xuan hurriedly climbed down from the tree. "It's me, your fiancé."

He asked tentatively, "Mianmian, where are you going? Why aren't you going back to the village? I'm still waiting to marry you."

"Can you stop being so hypocritical?"

Upon seeing it was him, Jiang Mianmian raised an eyebrow slightly. "Stop pretending. I've known all along that the person you actually want to marry is Jiang Ranran."

He was a devoted lover, but unfortunately, he died tragically because of Jiang Ranran in his previous life!
