Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Shen Jin finally reached Anling County.

As a result, she was stopped outside the city gate.

Two tall and strong guards held their swords horizontally with the tips at her neck. If they took a step forward, she would be beheaded.

"The entrance fee is ten cents, and here's your pass."

The voice was like a bell, full of impatience: "If you don't have it, get out of here and don't disturb others in line!"

He knew with his toes that these shabby beggars couldn't afford any money.

I don’t know where these refugees came from, but they actually came to Anling County to beg for food. Don’t they know that what Lord Qi hates most is beggars?

Qi Ci had privately instructed that a gentleman should defend his homeland. In short, if your family is gone, you can just die with them. Why run away?

It only adds burden to other regions.

Shen Jin measured the gap between the two of them. Without OOC, this guard could knock her down with one punch.

He wisely took a few steps back and said, "I'll leave now."

Then she was pushed away by the crowd rushing forward. She was quick to help a child who had been pushed down, thus avoiding a stampede.

The child was frightened and cried out, "Mother, where are you?"

Very messy.

Those who rushed forward were all disaster victims.

Shen Jin encountered several people on her way who were traveling the same route as her. Most of them were people who had escaped from the disaster area around Qingtian.

The journey had exhausted their energy and spirit, and with their last breath, they tried to walk into the city. Their eyes were bloodshot and trembling as they counted out ten coins from their cloth bags.

It was snatched away by the guard.

With another push from behind, he staggered and fell into the city.

"Ten coins are required to enter the city! Those without money can leave on their own. If you want to take advantage of this situation, you can try to see if my sword is sharp enough!"

There was another team of guards nearby to maintain order, apparently they were extra personnel assigned after learning that refugees were gathering outside the city.

This was the situation when entering the city, while more people were driven out. They had not given up yet, looking back every few steps, trying to sneak back into the city.

Shen Jin had not yet learned about the prices in this world, but about 70% of the refugees were driven out, so these ten cents were probably not a small amount.

Yes, they have left their hometowns and their lives are difficult.

Taking advantage of her youth, she joined the group on the right. Her clothes were ragged and her face was dark, but she didn't look out of place.

This group of people were driven out, but they didn't want to leave, so they could only wander in front of the city gate, trying to find an opportunity.

"Brother Zhao, what should we do? If we can't get into Anling, the next city will take five days. They can't hold on." The speaker was a thin middle-aged man in a blue sweatshirt. He looked at the strong man with a beard in the middle and asked.

That Brother Zhao was the leader. He had a tanned skin and an iron axe and a bow and arrow hanging behind him. He must be a hunter.

He looked at the crowded city gate with a bit of melancholy, clenched his fist and said, "Everyone, pool your money and send the elderly, women, and children in first. As for us, two guards will be enough. Let's save the money for now and rent a house together as a temporary emergency."

"The rest of you strong brothers, come with me and go outside to get some wild food to sell. We can eventually get in slowly."

"How can we live together?"

“If we don’t go in, what will happen if the women are bullied?”

They were dissatisfied with this arrangement. What did it mean to select a few people to live in? Everyone contributed money, so why couldn't they move in?

The scene was at a stalemate for a while.

After listening to their plan, Shen Jin sighed, "I'm afraid that if too many victims pour in, it will attract the attention of the county magistrate and the governor. It would be a good thing if they offered help, but if they close the city gates..."

"It's better to go in early."

The voice was a little hoarse, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It was carried by the wind and reached the ears of Zhao Tu and his group.

After Shen Jin finished speaking, she quietly walked away. She reminded them that after this, they could argue about the subsequent arrangements on their own.

This city wall couldn't stop her, of course. However, she had no intention of incurring public outrage for the time being. Everyone else had honestly paid ten cents to line up, but you were the only one who could soar over the eaves and walls, right?

So, Shen Jin planned to climb over the wall again at night.

What we need to do now is to confirm Xiao Jiangran's location and Qi Ci's warehouse location.

I don’t know if it’s because she tried to act in advance to advance the plot, but the signal on the map was extremely poor. The red dot representing Xiao Jiangran was always looming, like a defective product with poor contact.

Only the general direction of Qi Ci's warehouse was known, and Shen Jin needed to find its specific location on his own.

"Will Xiao Jiangran come to Anling?" Shen Jin checked the system again.

"Of course! This is the beginning of his career, his first map, don't worry."

But I can only wait and see here. If it weren't for the protagonist's plot, she would be a little beggar who can't be OOC...

"Search the warehouse."

Shen Jin had great abilities but nowhere to display them. He was so anxious and angry that he wished it would get dark immediately so that he could go to Qi's house to vent his anger.

She found a shady spot and sat down cross-legged. She pulled out the restlessness in her heart, curled it into a small, dark purple ball that was exploding with sparks, and then she didn't know where to put it, and she regained her composure.

Influenced by the world and resentment, her emotions are not very stable, which is not good.

It finally got dark.

Shen Jin had already walked along the moat and determined the climbing route.

She took a quick step, lingered in the air for a few seconds, then pretended to step on her left foot and landed on the wall. Her hands formed into claws, gripping the bricks to stabilize her body.

The system highly praised her skills, and the fireworks were still popping until Shen Jin landed on the ground.

"It's just a small matter. This is how we workers stay strong and healthy, and develop morally, intellectually and physically."

Shen Jin quickly avoided the guards who were changing shifts and hid in the shadow of the corner.

"Captain, I need to pee."

A guard smiled awkwardly and pointed to the distance.

"Lazy people poop a lot." The captain of the guards kicked the man and pushed him away: "Come back soon."

Coincidentally, the place where he urinated was Shen Jin's hidden corner.

Tsk, urinating and defecating in the street.

Shen Jin whistled, frightening the man so much that he trembled all over and quickly covered his crotch. "Who, who is playing tricks here?"

Shen Jin jumped up and hit him on the back of the neck with the brick in his hand, knocking him unconscious.

He deleted his memories again and reconstructed the script: "You are a lazy guard who sleeps peacefully under the pretext of urinating."

After finishing everything, Shen Jin stuffed half a brick into the city wall to eliminate his own traces.

The drought did not have much impact on Anling. To be honest, there were fewer rainy days, and people in the city lived a more comfortable life.

Shen Jin consciously collected information and quickly confirmed Ning'an Street, where the gentry and nobles lived.

Qi Ci's mansion is here, and the county magistrate's mansion in Anling is only two streets away from Qi's mansion.

The Qi Mansion was an ordinary four-story courtyard, and even looked somewhat shabby from the perimeter wall, which fit his image as a noble scholar. Even Xiao Jiangran, who had just returned from the early days, was fooled by his disguise and became his close friend.
