Guan Lin subconsciously thought of the hygiene issues of certain parts of women in ancient times.
Although there was no "that towel" in ancient times, menstruation... no, to be precise, it was the woman's sunflower water that "the sound of the waves is still the same" every month.
In Guan Lin's memory, during this period, in order to cope with this "natural law", women often used a combination of "plant ash" and "small strips of cloth".
To put it simply, plant ash with the functions of "absorbing water", "dehumidifying" and "sterilizing" is put into a small strip of cloth, a string is put through both ends, and tied around the waist during the Kwai Shui period. This was also a traditional Chinese medicine at that time.
Known as the "menstrual belt"!
Of course, plant ash is the ashes of burned plants after all, and it is definitely unhygienic. Rich families like Guan Yinping often choose to replace it with clean "cotton".
But Guan Lin knows very well that the adsorption effect of cotton is far worse than that of straw ash, and it is also very easy to leak.
However, since Cai Lun invented papermaking, straw paper has come in handy during women's sunflower period.
It's just that... the "Cai Hou Paper" invented by Cai Lun is of poor quality, wrinkled, and uncomfortable, so most women still use reusable "menstrual belts"!
Of course, none of this matters.
What's important is that Guan Lin's "unforeseen" and "surprising" "leakage" immediately made Guan Yinping's face turn red.
This kind of thing is often mentioned between mothers and daughters and is quite taboo.
But this brother... just, said it so brazenly, and... also said that she was cheating.
"you…"
Guan Yinping chanted the word "you", but the words that followed were difficult to say.
She pushed Guan Lin away and blocked the crimson spot on the mattress. She bit her red lips heavily with her silver teeth, as if she was shy, confused and helpless.
Even in the end, there was more worry in her eyes, fearing that Guan Lin would tell this matter.
Well…
If it were someone else, maybe not, but if it were a "loose-talking" brother like Guan Lin, he might really tell it!
"Ahem..."
Seeing Guan Yinping hesitate to speak, with a shy and complicated expression, how could Guan Lin not guess what she was thinking, and said immediately.
"Third sister, don't worry. I am the most strict-mouthed about your brother. I will definitely not tell anyone about your side... ah no, it's my sister's 'domineering side'."
Guan Lin's words seemed to give Guan Yinping a reassurance.
However, this reassurance seems to last only a few breaths.
"Speaking of which..." Guan Lin's words continued to arouse Guan Yinping's mood, "Third sister, if you keep leaking information, how uncomfortable would it be?"
this…
Guan Yinping was also speechless. Are you comfortable? How do you know this?
Besides, is this a topic that can be discussed and should be discussed?
"If you keep talking, I...I will ignore you!"
Rarely, Guan Yinping, who has always been a tomboy, showed a shy look. She turned around, as if to avoid Guan Lin's gaze.
Guan Lin took a step closer to Guan Yinping and lowered his voice, "Sister, what's that... Actually, I have a way to prevent you from leaking! I don't want to spill blood on my crotch when I'm on the battlefield, right?"
"You...I..." Guan Yinping's tone also became stumbling, as if she was completely controlled, "This is not why I called you..."
Guan Yinping originally wanted to change the topic with "Hong Qigong", but she never thought that Guan Lin was the first to say, "I understand, I understand, I understand...there are always so many days every month!"
Speaking of this, Guan Lin showed a "harmless" smile, "Well, it's quite obvious on the bed. Third sister remember to clean the sheets, so I'll leave first. Third sister, just wait for my good news..."
At this point, Guan Lin turned around and took a step towards the door. Suddenly his steps became firm and he turned around again.
Amidst Xinxinran's smile, Guan Lin's voice came one after another. "I almost forgot... Third sister won't tell others the truth about 'Hong Qigong', right?"
this…
Guan Yinping's expression was complicated. She swallowed, but couldn't help but stare at the blush on the bed.
I muttered in my heart:
——"I...am I being threatened? By my own brother?"
Before Guan Yinping could open his mouth, Guan Lin had already left the room.
As he walked, he never forgot to shout: "Third sister, just wait for my good news!"
Guan Yinping gritted her teeth, turned her head complicatedly, and looked at Guan Lin's back as he walked away.
"Alas..." she sighed helplessly.
But, inexplicably, my heart was suddenly filled with Guan Lin's last words.
——Good news?
Fourth brother said good news?
So...is this good news about "Hong Qigong"?
Or... Or is there good news about "preventing side leakage"?
For a moment, all Guan Yinping could think about was this.
…
…
It is already August, and the autumn harvest is around the corner.
The river breeze blows, and clusters of golden wheat waves appear in the fields on the outskirts of Hefei.
According to custom, before the autumn harvest, farmers would make large-scale sacrifices. On the "Community Day", they would use millet and pork to sacrifice to the gods, and the next day, they would use wheat and fish to sacrifice to their ancestors.
It's already a busy time.
It's just that... the suburbs of Hefei are extremely quiet at the moment. Few farmers are taking care of the endless wheat fields, and all the lively "Community Day" activities seem to have been cancelled.
And the reason for all this is because of a battle report.
——Jiangdong is about to invade!
At this moment in the government office in Hefei.
Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Yue Jin were sitting at attention, while Xue Ti, the Hefei Protector, placed a "confidential letter" on the table.
This was left behind by Cao Cao in advance before his expedition to Hanzhong. In addition to the clichéd words "The traitor will be sent away", there is also a top directive:
——Zhang Liao, General Li Dian went to battle, General Le Jin defended the city, and Xue Ti recorded everyone's performance.
Precisely, this "confidential letter" showed Cao Cao's foresight.
The relationship between Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin is not harmonious, so the most appropriate way is for two people to go out, one to defend the city, and another to record.
When two people go out to fight in the field, whoever refuses to risk his life will be recorded and will be reported to Cao Cao in the future.
If one person defends the city and the city is lost, then that person's full responsibility is his.
In the cold atmosphere, Zhang Liao was the first to speak: "We will do whatever Duke Cao deploys. Jiangdong's army will arrive in three days, and the thieves will be unleashed!"
This time, Li Dian also sided with Zhang Liao, "Cao Gong asked me and General Wenyuan to go out of the city. General Wenyuan's men are mostly cavalry, so they should rush out from the side door to catch him by surprise. So-and-so's men, mostly infantry, should rush out from the main gate.
Act as bait!”
"No!" Zhang Liao quickly interrupted.
Li Dian stood up suddenly: "The national affairs are current, why should you cherish your life?"
Zhang Liao's brows furrowed slightly, "This is not a matter of sacrificing one's life, but the opportunity is only once. You can only attack from the side door to win by surprise. The soldiers are more valuable than the elite, and the attackers this time must not be cavalry!"
