Chapter 28
Safety Pants
Ning Shilang held his little head and felt extremely aggrieved. “But you’re my sister!”
At the side, Ning Sanlang laughed at him. “You can’t follow your sister. When you get married in the future, you can accompany your wife!”
Madam Feng, who had been silent all this while, said, “Child, don’t talk nonsense!”
Ning Sanlang grimaced, then ran off to one side.
Everyone was in a good mood after obtaining food and water tonight. They chatted and laughed until late at night.
Ning Yue was a little sleepy, but just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Madam He exclaim, “Oh no!”
“Mother, what’s wrong?” Ning Yue was instantly wide awake. She turned to look at Madam He and asked, only to realize that Madam He had already sat up.
Madam He’s face was red. After looking around, she lowered her voice and told Ning Yue, “Yueyue, my period is here. What should we do?!”
What? Ning Yue immediately got up. This was an awkward matter. On the way to escape, not to mention menstruation, everyone only used leaves or stones to wipe their butts.
Madam He blushed. She couldn’t imagine what she would do tomorrow. When she woke up, others would find her clothes covered in blood.
She dug out her bundle and pulled out a tattered shirt, preparing to use it as padding.
“Don’t use this!” Ning Yue immediately stopped her.
The torn clothes hadn’t been washed in a long time and were filthy. If they were placed in her underwear, not only would they not be effective, but she would get infected.
Madam He was extremely helpless. “What else can we do? Sigh.”
Ning Yue knew how awkward it was for a woman to have her period. She thought for a moment, then stood up and found her bag and started to rummage through it. Madam He looked at her in confusion. After a while, Ning Yue stood up with something in her hand and said to her, “Mother, come with me.”
Madam He also got up quietly and followed Ning Yue to an empty place.
There was withered grass half the height of a person here. If a person squatted inside, they would not be seen from the outside.
Ning Yue handed the safety pants she had prepared earlier to Madam He. These safety pants were a little like a baby’s diapers. If there wasn’t a lot of blood, she could use one piece a day. It would just be a little uncomfortable.
In this situation, discomfort was definitely better than being gossiped about by others.
Ning Yue opened the safety pants and told Madam He, “Mother, I stole this from the general’s residence. I think it’s quite convenient for someone to use this kind of thing. Try it.”
Stole it? Madam He was stunned. She took the safety pants and looked at them again, unsure of how to use them.
This material was so strange. It felt thick and slippery to the touch.
“You can just put your legs in like this.” Ning Yue quickly taught Madam He how to wear it.
Madam He bit her lip. “Will it work, Yueyue? I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“Mother, there are many good things in the general’s residence. There are also some strange things that you haven’t seen before. It’s not only the Tianyun Kingdom in the world. There are so many countries, and there are many things that we haven’t seen before!” Ning Yue explained with a smile.
It made sense when she put it that way. The world was a big place. Just because she hadn’t seen it didn’t mean it didn’t exist.
Madam He thought about it and felt that it made sense. Moreover, she couldn’t care less now.
She took off her dirty underwear and put on the safety pants according to Ning Yue’s instructions.
It was actually quite comfortable to wear.
Madam He sighed with relief, then quickly dug a hole and buried her soiled pants.
There was no water to wash it with. It would be even more awkward if someone found it.
Ning Yue looked at Madam He’s anxious expression and couldn’t help but want to laugh. However, she immediately felt sad. How did other women deal with their periods? They definitely weren’t as lucky as Madam He. They probably couldn’t do anything even if they endured it.
“This should last four or five days, right?” Madam He asked Ning Yue after burying the pants.
Her period would be there for four or five days, and she didn’t have any more pants to change into. Right now, all she had were dirty pants. She had thrown away the pants that she had dirtied during her period.
“A day at most. It’s okay. I still have more. I’ll give it to you then,” Ning Yue replied.
“You still have more?” Madam He asked with surprise. “I thought I’d keep this for the future after washing it.”
“No, Mom, don’t worry. I have it with me. I’m lucky. I secretly took a lot of good things from the General’s residence and met a benefactor. I can last for a while.” Ning Yue attributed all these things to the General’s residence and Jiang Ying.
This was because the Ning family had never been to the General’s residence or seen Jiang Ying. It was fine no matter what she said.
The only person who had seen Jiang Ying was Ning Guang. Ning Guang was a fool.
