Tangli Fried Snow
Chapter 4 Military Life
In the blink of an eye, Sherry had stayed at Lieutenant Wen's place for three days.
You asked her how she was doing?
It's not bad; he's busy during the day and only comes home at night.
Anything can become simple if you do it willingly.
From the first time she met Captain Wen, she wanted to rely on him to get out of the Hundred Flowers Brothel, just like a modern blind date. You like me, and I like you. You are willing to buy a house and pay the bride price, and I am willing to go with you and serve you.
Besides, he's good-looking, a nice person, and always quite gentle. Shirley used all the skills she'd learned over the years on him.
The first thing Aunt Bai taught her was to take it slow.
Don't rush. You need to take care of everything except that thing. Most importantly, you need to manage each other's emotions slowly and gently. Imagine the other person as a handsome man and treat him with all your love.
Of course, Shirley was thinking about her celebrity brother whose career had collapsed.
Aunt Bai's words still echoed in my ears.
"They paid money to come, so of course they know what kind of person you are. They know it's all just an act. Our task is to make him forget where he is and how he got here, as long as he remembers your kindness. The secret to this requires you to practice repeatedly and be fully engaged at all times. The worst thing you can do is pretend. You have to let him know that he is needed, that he craves you, and that you crave him too."
“From the day he grew from a boy into a man, he has pampered his manhood, hasn’t he? His love for his darling is greater than anything else. He is confident that he is stronger than any other man, and that is what you need to tell him. You can give him everything that his wife and concubines cannot.”
Commandant Wen returned earlier and earlier each day.
Shirley didn't rest during these three days. She familiarized herself with this era and this place. First, she learned that the Commandant Wen's name was Wen Xiangli. Judging from his name, she knew that he came from a prominent family. It would not be an exaggeration to say that his family had a long history of learning and was extremely wealthy.
He came from the Wen family, a true aristocratic clan. His uncle was the highest-ranking official here, and he even sent someone to ask her what she needed and what she lacked.
There was so much missing. As a former prostitute, I had nothing to be ashamed of. I took a lot of food, clothing, and other necessities, keeping some for myself and storing the rest in my spatial storage.
When she was alone during the day, she carefully studied the space where she put her backpack.
After her physical health improved, her mental strength also improved. As long as she concentrated, she could find her backpack in her sea of consciousness. It wasn't big, only two or three square meters, but it was big enough that if she filled it with some gold and silver jewelry, it would be enough for her to live on for a lifetime.
The backpack now contains some food, drinks, and clothing. The most valuable items are medicines: fever reducers, anti-inflammatory drugs, diarrhea medicine, wound medicine, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine), quick-acting heart medicine, frostbite cream, and topical ointments. These are all precious treasures.
There were also some food and clothes that she had saved up little by little.
She is preparing for the day when she is truly free.
Always be prepared. She constantly reminded herself of this.
She was fetching water to wash clothes when several thugs surrounded her.
"Hey kid! Are you new here?" one of the loud voices said.
Sherry didn't dare turn around to look at them, and could only lower her head and whisper a reply, "Mmm." In her heart, she was anxiously thinking about how to deal with them.
"This brat has no manners at all! How dare he talk back to us with his back turned! Let me teach him a lesson!" the tallest of them yelled at his companion.
A burst of fierce curses and heavy footsteps followed.
Sherry couldn't help but turn around and glance at him.
The burly man immediately stopped cursing and stood there staring intently at her.
"Tiezhu! Get out of here right now! Take your brothers and get out of here! This soldier is Captain Wen's man!" Xu Liang appeared in time and stopped him from taking any further action.
The burly man named Tiezhu immediately stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and the others followed suit.
"Corporal, I thought he was one of our soldiers, so I came over to say hello," Tie Zhu said in a rough voice.
"You lot, leave immediately! Don't wander around here anymore! Get out of here right now!" Xu Liang shouted.
The soldiers slunk away. Tie Zhu glanced back at the two men several times as he walked.
"Zhuangzhang Xu said that kid is Captain Wen's man?" Tiezhu and Shouhou whispered to each other, "I think he looks like a sissy."
"really?"
"I told you before, when I was selling tofu in the village, I dated a girl who sold hair accessories. I do know a bit about women."
"Please tell me in detail."
"They're very clean, they change their clothes all the time. Didn't you see he washed his clothes twice in the three days he's been here? I'm asking you, kid, you've been in the army for half a year, how many times have you washed your clothes?"
"Hehehe, probably only twice."
"See, I told you so!"
"Then let's find another opportunity to meet him again..."
Sherry quickly tidied up the clothes.
Xu Liang looked at Xue Li and said, "You'd better not wander around. If this happens again, I might not be able to get there in time to help you."
“I’ve seen plenty of men, and even more jerks,” Sherry said with a smile. “When you’ve seen enough jerks, you won’t find men scary anymore. Don’t forget, men conquer the world, women conquer men.”
Xu Liang remained noncommittal, only giving her a few glances from head to toe as if he were seeing her for the first time. "Go back now."
Sherry quickly ran back.
She has been washing clothes and tidying up tents for Captain Wen these past few days, and has also taken stock of his belongings.
His confidential documents, his indenture, banknotes, and other valuables were all kept in a specially made locked box, with the key always on his person.
She wasn't interested in most of the things left out in the open.
There are many valuable items among the paper materials casually placed inside the tent.
For example, his position, the map of the country, the dividing line between the North and the South, and the layout and leadership of the Northern and Southern armies.
Sherry secretly drew a map and put it in her spatial storage. This kind of thing can't be obtained outside. Of course, she wasn't a spy; she was just preparing for her escape later.
She also learned about the basic situation of the current war from various letters and documents, as well as through indirect inquiries.
Their unit was the Kim family's Tiger Head Army, stationed at the forefront of the war, right on the border between North and South Korea. The top leader of the unit was Lieutenant General Moon Seong-hyang, the second-in-command was a member of the Kim family, Major General Kim Un-song, and the third-in-command was her Kim father, Colonel Moon Sang-rye.
The other side in the war is very interesting.
The local people all called them rebels. From the military reports on the table and from what Xu Liang and Wen Xiangli said, Shirley roughly understood why they were called rebels.
This requires using a map.
The Song Kingdom had a vast territory, divided into two parts by the Yangtze River. The north was ruled by the emperor in the capital Jian'an, while the south was ruled by King Duan Yuanshan of Wei.
Duan Yuanshan had the world at heart and always wanted to hand over power to the emperor so that the North and South could be unified.
He tirelessly negotiated with various forces in the south and spared no effort in facilitating the marriage between his daughter and the Crown Prince. He personally led his daughter north across a great distance, but before the wedding preparations were even complete, Duan Yuanshan was imprisoned by the Emperor.
His beautiful and beloved daughter was also imprisoned in the Forbidden City.
Duan Yuanshan's eldest son, Duan Jingyu, rose up in rebellion, uniting military forces in the south to launch a war against the emperor to rescue his father and sister.
This is historically known as the American Civil War.
Of course, this was a name that Sydney came up with on the spot.
She doesn't judge right or wrong; every event has a reason, and history always progresses with bloodshed. War brings death, but it also brings hope. Perhaps the whole country will be unified through this war.
She herself was a direct beneficiary of this war. If Moon Sang-rye hadn't come to fight, how could she have escaped from this hellhole?
When the war really breaks out, she can take advantage of the chaos to escape; it's perfect.
Wen Xiangli returned before it even got dark.
To be honest, aside from being a bit short, he's really good-looking. Especially his demeanor—a gentle elegance tempered with the toughness of a soldier, a quality few men possess. He has a well-proportioned physique, lean yet muscular, and a very mild, even pleasant, body odor; he definitely deserves high marks.
What's most remarkable is his gentleness, attentiveness, and incredibly good temper—at least towards women. I wonder if he treats Xiaobing Lazi the same way outside.
The probability of winning the first prize in this lottery is basically one in ten million.
Sherry has always been lucky.
The girl who won first prize seemed to be in a good mood today. I smiled and asked her, "What are you daydreaming about? What delicious food did you make?"
Sherry snapped out of her daze, held up the roast chicken in her hand, and said, "Honey-glazed roast chicken, a secret recipe, you should try it."
Xu Liang caught two pheasants. She marinated them with salt and seasonings half a day in advance, then carefully coated them with honey and roasted them for half an hour. The skin was crispy, the meat tender, and the flavor was a perfect balance of sweet and salty, with an irresistible aroma. She gave one to Xu Liang first, and he beamed with joy, even happier than if he had seen a beautiful young woman.
She tore off a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into his hand, looking at him with bright eyes. Wen Xiangli smiled, took a bite, and praised her cooking repeatedly.
With a woman now staying in the tent these past few days, life has been nothing short of blissful and comfortable.
His clothes and shoes were all cleaned and neatly arranged, and the tent was spotless inside and out. He had different delicious meals every day, and not only had he been enjoying himself these past few days, but Xu Liang's complexion had also improved significantly.
After finishing our meal and cleaning up, it was time for the routine baby-making activity.
This was what he longed for every day. He felt that he had wasted his life. Six years of marriage with his wife were not as enjoyable as six days with Lin Jiaojiao.
He used to think that his lack of sexual intimacy with his wife was because he was too tired, but now he realizes it was due to his emotions and psychology. The pressure and anxiety he felt about having a child, the estrangement caused by their long-term separation, and his wife's hardship of being alone every day taking care of the elderly and managing the household all affected their intimacy.
Every time I get close to her, I feel a sense of responsibility, expectation, compensation, and apology. I am under immense pressure, so most of the time things don't go as planned.
Now he is busy training every day and is exhausted every night, but Lin Jiaojiao always has a way to get his blood pumping, get him fully engaged, and make him unable to stop.
For example, right now, a light shines softly on her, emphasizing her right side while her left side is hidden in shadow, making her curvaceous figure even more alluring.
She sat on the bed, one of her shapely, long legs exposed to the air. He slowly reached out a hand, first touching her waist, then slowly moving it behind her waist. With a slight push, a soft gasp was heard, and a delicate body nestled into his arms, two soft mounds pressing against his chest. Their breathing immediately became heavy.
He silenced the woman's giggles with a kiss. Sherry struggled symbolically, but it was to no avail, only adding a bit of amusement to the two of them.
He knew this kiss couldn't be rushed or perfunctory. While his lips were locked tightly with hers, he held her even tighter, stroking her soft thighs with one hand and her hair with the other, before slowly caressing her breasts and back.
Sherry placed her hands on his waist, the two intimately connected. She couldn't help but tremble slightly and her breathing quickened. Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, her will gradually crumbling under the long, persistent kiss. Wen Xiangli slowly pulled away from her fiery red lips and lowered his head to examine her delicate face closely.
She is so beautiful; I have never seen a woman more beautiful than her.
Sherry gasped for breath, opened her eyes weakly, gave him a reproachful look, then immediately frowned and closed them again in embarrassment.
This look was more effective than any flirting. He couldn't resist the heat in his heart, so he grabbed her soft waist with one hand and squeezed it hard. Xue Li gasped and immediately pressed his large hand down, pouting her red lips as she looked at him. Wen Xiangli chuckled and felt his passion rising as he looked at her.
A different kind of touch came over, and soon the tent was filled with the feeling of spring.
The second most important skill that Aunt Bai taught me was vocalization.
You need to be fully engaged, progressing from shallow to deep, from low to high, like singing—it needs to be melodious, emotional, and able to evoke the deepest desires and longings in people's hearts.
Some inexperienced youngsters, with little skill, can't resist the urge to scream.
In the corner outside the tent, Tiezhu and Shouhou were clearly hotheads.
The passion and emptiness that followed their release made them both feel extremely uncomfortable.
The two silently got up and secretly retraced their steps.
"That woman is really hot."
"We should try it sometime..."
"I heard some important people are coming in a few days, so discipline will be even stricter..."
"Maybe there will be an opportunity..."
