BXBX NOVEL Chapter 518 - Looking down on women
Just after washing, Duan Cheng hurriedly came over and shouted to her: “Hurry up, Marshal Wang sent someone to invite you. You go there now.”
Bai Zhi made an ‘oh’ sound, then quickly tied her hair.
When Duan Cheng looked at her hair, he suddenly shouted like he found a whole new world: “Oh— why do you have so many falling hairs?”
Bai Zhi continued tying her hair without looking at him: “Don’t you?”
Duan Cheng shook his head: “How can a man have such kind of thing? Only women will have falling hair, you couldn’t be possibly a woman, right?” He joked, but Bai Zhi’s changed and get angry at him: “Go away!”
Duan Cheng chased after her: “Are you angry? I’m just playing with you. I actually also have falling hairs but much lesser. It’s just your face is too delicate, if you put on women’s clothes, I’m afraid that women will be jealous when they see you.”
Bai Zhi quickened her pace. She didn’t pick a fight with him, she just went straight to the big tent.
Vice General Zhang and Doctor Shen were talking. When Doctor Shen saw him, he quickly said: “Here he comes, he is Bai Zhi.”
Vice General Zhang was over 40 years old. He looks very spiritual. He and Doctor Shen know each other. So now that they meet, they couldn’t help but exchange a few words.
“Bai Zhi, this is Vice General Zhang beside Marshal Wang. Marshal Wang said he wants to eat the snake soup you made yesterday, so you can do it for him now.”
Bai Zhi nodded: “Okay, let me go to the kitchen camp first to see if there is an empty stove.”
Vice General Zhang waved his hand: “No need, there is a pot stove over Marshal’s big tent. Everything is available there, you just need to go.”
It seems that Marshal Wang was very anxious to see her. She doesn’t know if Hu Feng went to the corpse pit and meet him last night.
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Okay, let’s go.” She took the bamboo trap that Duan Cheng handed over. There was a green snake inside of it. It was the only one he recovered yesterday. Duan Cheng originally planned to keep eating snakes, but they finished everything.

When they arrived at the marshal’s big tent, they saw Marshal Wang was sitting at the table and drinking. He seemed to be in a good mood. When she came in, he immediately ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only the two of them in the entire tent.
Marshal Wang got up and walked straight to Bai Zhi. He looked at her from head to toe and then sighed: “I didn’t expect you to be a girl!”
It seems that he and Hu Feng had seen each other, and even talked about her.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I didn’t mean to deceive anyone, but in this military camp, if I stayed as a girl, I’m afraid that it would be inappropriate, so I pretended to be a boy, which made things more convenient.”
Marshal Wang nodded and sighed again: “So that is the case, but you are a girl after all. These things should have been done by men, you shouldn’t have come here.”
Bai Zhi said: “The Marshal’s words are not good. In my opinion, men and women, except for their body structure, are no different. Women have hands, feet, and brains. Why do you think only men can do something and women can’t?”
“You men can lead soldiers to fight, women can do the same. Men can practice medicine, women can do the same, and they can even do much better. You men shouldn’t underestimate us, women.”
Marshal Wang waved his hands again and again: “No, no, you misunderstood. I didn’t underestimate you.”
“You didn’t underestimate me, but you still underestimate women. In your opinion, women should only stay at home, serve their husbands and son, and hide behind their husbands for a lifetime. Instead of pretending to be a man like me, and appearing outside all day long.”
