Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Shen Jin was the first to get out of the cave.

After a night of heavy rain, the land looked brand new, with hints of green beginning to sprout.

The lingering dark clouds covered the sun, making it a good day for traveling.

"Here are the shoes for you."

Shen Jin brought a camel from somewhere and handed over the package hanging on its hump.

Xiao Jiangran took it and saw the plaster inside.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

……

Shen Jin sat astride the camel, watching Xiao Jiangran take off his tattered cloth shoes. His original shoes had long been worn out, and the pair he wore now had an insole tied together with a piece of cloth.

When Xiao Jiangran peeled back the shoe sole, he gasped. The wound and the cloth were stuck together.

He moved so quickly that he actually tore off a piece of skin.

Shen Jin's eyes grew darker. She stared at the bloody scene for a long time before slightly closing her eyes and noting something about Kong Lin.

He quickly formed hand seals with his hands behind his back, covering the wound with a layer of energy before applying the ointment.

"This ointment is so effective?" Xiao Jiangran muttered, speeding up his movements.

When she met Shen Jin's gaze, her cheeks flushed: "Sorry, I'm spoiled and made a fool of myself."

"I'll come right away."

Shen Jin didn't say anything, but pointed at the camel's back silently.

Xiao Jiangran had already consciously taken the camel's reins.

She said, "Come up."

"It would be a waste if we don't use the mount." After saying that, he moved forward again, giving the space between the two humps to the wounded.

Xiao Jiangran wanted to refuse. This camel didn't look like it could hold an adult male, but Shen Jin insisted. That little look in her eyes looked like it would eat him up if she didn't come up to him.

"excuse me."

Xiao Jiangran leaned against Shen Jin, held onto the camel, and turned over.

The energy poured down on Shen Jin's head, so much that it made him feel dizzy.

The cat spilled the catnip, of course, Shen Jin was able to control himself and not show any animalistic behavior.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Jiangran was a little worried. Suddenly, she drooped down, as if she was extremely tired.

"It's too hot." Shen Jin made up an excuse and directed the camels to move.

Xiao Jiangran folded his extra outer robe into a pancake shape and draped it over her head: "I'll help block it for you."

The jingle of camel bells rang out once again in the wilderness.

Compared to Xiao Jiangran who repeatedly confirmed the direction, Shen Jin was much more casual. He just moved his fingers occasionally and took the camel to change the route.

After walking for two days, they arrived at an oasis.

Shen Jin rolled over to the ground and stretched out his hand.

Xiao Jiangran, whose feet no longer hurt and even had scabs on them, was still treated as injured, felt helpless: "I'm fine now."

Shen Jin was stubborn and still stretched out his hand.

"Okay, as you wish."

With your tiny body, I can even push you down with just one finger. Xiao Jiangran couldn't help but think, hoping to find more food here. He hadn't seen Shen Jin eat in the past two days.

No wonder it's still so skinny.

……

At nightfall, the sound of approaching horse hooves pierced Xiao Jiangran's mind, and he immediately became alert, clutching the bricks and stones at his side for self-defense.

Shen Jin saw how nervous he was and thought: This brick is bigger than his face. Will he get thrown out when he throws it?

I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

So she held down the brick that was beginning to stir: "It's okay."

Xiao Jiangran was shocked to find that he could not lift the stone, and he felt depressed again.

He always occasionally forgot the fact that Shen Jin was not an ordinary child, and couldn't help but want to protect him.

The person who came soon appeared in their sight.

This was a well-disciplined army, lightly armored. Their flags flew high, and by the light of the torches, one could see the Chinese characters for "Song" on them.

The Song Family Army, the border garrison troops in the north.

Xiao Jiangran saw who it was and pulled Shen Jin behind him. Even if they were colleagues, one had to be wary. Moreover, the other party was outnumbered and armed, so no matter what their purpose was, they had no choice but to make friends.

He was the first to perform the official ceremony: "Inspector Xiao Jiangran greets you all."

The army stopped and Song Zeming, who was at the rear, rode forward.

"Song Zeming, Commander of the Northern Border Army." He dismounted and clasped his hands together.

Shen Jin glanced at the greetings from the two, shrank aside bored, and contentedly became a little beggar.

Don't disturb the protagonist when he is building his network.

She tugged at Xiao Jiangran's sleeve and whispered, "I'll go to the side."

Song Zeming looked at the child running away and asked, "Where did this child come from that you could take with you?"

Xiao Jiangran was also watching Shen Jin's back. He waited until she lay down before answering his friend's question: "I met him here. What a fool! He walked into the wilderness begging."

The tone is quite indulgent.

Song Zeming was able to take charge of the border troops at such a young age. Besides his status as a member of the Song family, his most important attribute was his meticulousness. He knew of Xiao Jiangran's concealment but didn't ask further questions.

How can a little kid really break the sky?

"Tell me about you, how did you get here, and why are you alone?"

……

They had a very pleasant chat that night, and Shen Jin could hear laughter coming from afar when he woke up.

She subconsciously smiled, turned over and continued to sleep.

Xiao Jiangran's voice was instantly lowered by his master, so Shen Jin's smile became even brighter.

Her eyes were bright, how could she look like she was woken up at all?

The soft tips of the grass brushed her cheeks, and even the fragrance of the flower buds was still rich.

It seemed to be called tuberose, and this was her thought before she fell asleep.

Song Zeming looked at Xiao Jiangran and lowered his voice: "What do you want me to do for you?"

The dead tree wailed, and a flame shot out. The bonfire flickered, illuminating Xiao Jiangran's face, which was sharp and fierce. "Take me to the iron smelting camp in Rongshan."

He remembered the guilty look on the faces of the merchants who had spoken of Lord Kong and then hurriedly shut up.

"Did someone offend you there?"

"Leaving him here all alone, taking away his money and food, leaving his life to fate, do you think that counts as an offense?"

Xiao Jiangran made a joke, and his expression was surprisingly gentle.

But Song Zeming got goosebumps all over his body.

A quiet night.

Xiao Jiangran woke up Shen Jin.

"Shall we go with them?"

Shen Jin shook his head and explained his intention to leave: "I will go there."

That was the direction they came from, and they would never be able to get out of the wilderness.

"Don't want to go with them? Then we can take another route..."

Xiao Jiangran was a little surprised by her rejection.

"No."

Shen Jin stared at his slightly moist eyes, somewhat curious about how this man shed tears. But it seemed that Xiao Jiangran had never really cried, even when he was about to die in the mountains.

"It's time to say goodbye."

Shen Jin heard his own voice. It was calm and gentle, without any emotion.

"You will stay with them, while I will continue to be a beggar." She was calmly stating a fact.

But precisely because of this, there is an inhuman absurdity and alienation.

Xiao Jiangran lowered his eyes, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to maintain his usual composure: "Is there no room for change?"

Shen Jin was confused. What should be changed?

Her introduction to the story ends here for now. To be honest, the desert part was a scene she forced upon herself.
