My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 44: Relieved, Worried
Chapter 44: Relieved, Worried
Looking at the white styrofoam boxes stacked neatly on the ground, Feng Xiyan picked up the mirror and said, "Fairy Bai, thank you for giving us the vegetables and chicken meat. If the soldiers and citizens knew about this, they would be overjoyed."
Hearing that, Bai Hanyun’s mood lifted. She smiled as she looked at Feng Xiyan’s face in the mirror.
"Feng Xiyan, the medical supplies I bought earlier just arrived. Do you want me to send them over now?" she asked.
The moment he heard that, Feng Xiyan couldn’t hide his excitement.
After the last war with the Yuezhi Tribe, more than five thousand soldiers and civilians were injured. Without medicine, the more seriously injured one would die from infection and high fever.
Now that Bai Hanyun has given the medicine, those soldiers and civilians can be saved!
Clutching the mirror tightly, he quickly replied, "Please wait a moment, Fairy Bai. This warehouse is full. I need to find another one for the medical supplies."
Bai Hanyun looked at the mirror and saw the stacked styrofoam boxes behind him and agreed, "Alright."
Carrying the mirror, Feng Xiyan quickly left the full tent and headed to the infirmary.
Seeing the physician apprentices and soldiers busy moving and tending to the patients, Feng Xiyan didn’t disturb them and instead went directly to the medical supply storage tent.
When the guarding soldiers saw him approach, they greeted him. "This subordinate greets the Great General."
Feng Xiyan nodded at them and went inside. Seeing the empty boxes neatly stacked in the corner—leaving the tent almost empty, he said, "Fairy Bai, you can send the supplies over."
He then placed the mirror on the ground and stepped back. Two seconds later, boxes of medical supplies fell from the air, instantly filling the tent.
"All done," Bai Hanyun said. Then she asked, "Feng Xiyan, is there anything else you need?"
Hearing that, Feng Xiyan’s eyes turned slightly red. Even after giving so much, Bai Hanyun was still so considerate and even asked him what he needed.
Although he felt ashamed, the lives of the Feng Army soldiers and the citizens of Xiqiang City were in his hands.
Suppressing his guilt, Feng Xiyan replied, "Fairy Bai, I instructed the servant at the Great General’s Mansion to open a porridge stall to feed the citizens. Because of that, our grain supply is depleting faster than expected."
"If it’s not too much trouble, could you send more grains and water? I also plan to repair the city wall, so we will need glutinous rice. I’m willing to exchange gold and silver for the supplies."
After hearing that, Bai Hanyun said, "Don’t worry about the money. I have enough to buy the grains for you. As for the water, it comes from the river behind my house, so it’s free."
Feng Xiyan felt both relieved and worried at the same time, but chose to keep his concerns to himself.
"Then Xiyan thanks Fairy Bai on behalf of the soldiers and citizens," he said with a smile.
Now that she had finished sending the supplies, Bai Hanyun rubbed her empty stomach and said, "No problem. I’m going to have dinner."
Just as she said this, a soldier guarding outside the tent called, "Great General, Physician Yan is requesting an audience."
Hearing that, Bai Hanyun added, "Then I won’t disturb you anymore. I will contact you again before sending the water over."
Feng Xiyan nodded and responded, "Alright."
After he said that, Bai Hanyun tapped the antique mirror’s frame twice, ending the communication between them.
Sensing that she had left, Feng Xiyan sighed in disappointment. Turning to the soldier, he said, "Invite Physician Yan in."
"Yes, Great General."
Before long, Yan Bingyang walked in. He clasped his hands, bowed slightly, and greeted Feng Xiyan, "Great General."
"Physician Yan."
When Yan Bingyang looked up, he was stunned to see the tent filled to the brim with boxes.
Recognizing the familiar cardboard packaging, he asked excitedly, "Great General, are these medical supplies from Fairy Bai?"
"Yes," Feng Xiyan replied. He then asked, "Physician Yan, did you come to report something?"
Yan Bingyang shook his head and explained, "I heard you are here, so I just came to check on your injuries and pulses."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan stretched out his right hand. "Then I will trouble you."
Getting his permission, Yan Bingyang placed his fingers on Feng Xiyan’s wrist and carefully examined his condition. When he was done, he checked the wounds on Feng Xiyan’s body.
After a while, he retracted his hand and said, "Great General, your injuries are healing very quickly. In two days, they should scab over. However, you still need to take the medicine for a few more days to prevent infection and keep the wounds away from water."
Adjusting his clothes, Feng Xiyan replied, "Understood. Thank you, Physician Yan."
Yan Bingyang smiled at his politeness and said, "This is my duty."
Looking at Yan Bingyang’s tired face, Feng Xiyan added, "Physician Yan, you should remember to take a rest as well."
As the only remaining experienced physician in the Feng Army, Yan Bingyang’s health was very important. Knowing that Feng Xiyan was worried about him, Yan Bingyang nodded.
"Yes, Great General."
After talking for a while, Feng Xiyan left the infirmary and ordered the kitchen to prepare two additional dishes using winter melons and chicken meat for dinner that night.
While the military kitchen of the Feng Army was bustling with activity, Bai Hanyun was busy ordering food. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Just as she was about to pay, her finger paused.
Recalling Feng Xiyan’s sickly appearance and thin body, she muttered, "Feng Xiyan is my golden thigh. If he dies, I won’t be able to earn any extra money. To fight Bai Yansheng, I need a lot of money. I can’t let anything happen to Feng Xiyan."
With this in mind, Bai Hanyun added more nutritious dishes to the order—enough to feed ten people. After placing the order, she sent a message to Li Dagou.
