"Wang Xiaocui, from Lingwu County."

The guard flipped through the household registration paper and looked Su Su up and down.

Judging from the information above, the girl should be 15 years old, but with her small body, he believed her if she was only or years old.

"What are you doing in Yunyang? How long will you stay?"

"I fled here with my distant cousin. I'm going to the city to buy some things and then leave to seek refuge with my relatives in the imperial city."

Lingwu County is a border town. It was attacked by the Jin people some time ago and almost the entire city was destroyed.

The gatekeeper glanced at Su Su with some sympathy, then opened Li Xinglan's household registration document. "Li Xinglan, from Shangxi Village, 17 years old."

After confirmation, the gatekeeper waved his hand and signaled the two to enter the city.

The two first took a jade hairpin and bracelet to exchange for some silver bills, and then went straight to the clinic.

However, several medical clinics were full of people, both seeking medical treatment and begging for food.

The fear and despair on their faces were so familiar.

Su Su felt a little sad and couldn't bear to see these sufferings.

Although I have always been mentally prepared and believe that we should not be too compassionate in troubled times, how can I remain numb when facing the trauma brought by these wars?

"Get out! Get out! Don't delay my medical treatment!"

Suddenly, Li Xinglan pulled Su Su while walking and cursing, and came to the bun stall in front of the clinic and started to eat.

The steamed buns were bubbling and scattered all over the floor.

In Su Su's stunned eyes, he threw a few taels of silver to the bun stall owner, "I'll compensate you! Stop barking!"

Picking up the change on the table, the boss instantly smiled and suppressed his curse words.

This money is enough for his whole family to eat for a month!

Not only Su Su was stunned, but also the refugees crowded outside the clinic.

They were stunned at first, and then they all rushed towards the meat buns scattered on the ground.

A girl with pigtails was petite but had very quick reactions and grabbed several.

She held the bun tightly in her arms and quickly retreated into the corner.

She shouted to the other girl, "Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao! There's something to eat, wake up!"

The girl called "Jiaojiao" opened her eyes weakly, thinking that her sister had found some pig food in the manure bucket again. When she saw that it was meat buns, her eyes immediately lit up and she stuffed them into her mouth greedily.

"Eat slowly, there are more." Shen Huan handed all the buns in his arms to Shen Jiao, but he himself was drooling with envy.

"Jiaojiao, just hold on a little longer. Once we get to the imperial city and find your uncle, you won't be hungry anymore." He said this to Shen Jiao, but also to encourage himself.

Looking at her sister who was once spoiled, but now looked disheveled and pitiful like a beggar, Shen Huan felt very guilty, even though she had been trying very hard to take care of her sister.

"Brother Gou..." Su Su reacted and she knew why he did this.

"Let's go." He knew she understood without further explanation.

After re-bandaging the wound at the clinic, Li Xinglan also bought a lot of miscellaneous medicinal herbs.

Seeing that he knew the names of various medicinal herbs like the back of his hand, Su Su thought to herself, this bastard is really a talent, both civil and military.

After coming out of the clinic, the noisy crowd had already calmed down. They didn't even glance at the two people who came out.

Only Shen Huan followed Li Xinglan with her eyes until his back turned into a small black dot and disappeared in the busy street.

"Let's buy some ready-made clothes, pack some food and go."

"Okay!" Su Su responded and followed Li Xinglan happily.

I have beautiful new clothes to wear!

The two of them rushed to the clothing store. Looking at the dazzling array of exquisite clothes in the store, Su Su was dazzled.

Li Xinglan just randomly picked up a few simple robes, some for himself, some for Blind Chen, and even two for Ergou.

After buying clothes for three people, Su Su still hadn't chosen a single item.

She fully expressed the dilemma women face when shopping for clothes.

"This one looks good too, but the color doesn't suit me..." Su Su looked at Li Xinglan enviously after he came out of the outfit.

It was clearly just the simplest dark cloud-patterned robe, but he wore it in a dashing and stunningly beautiful way.

"Brother Dog, you look like a human."

"Nonsense! I am a human being!"

"No, I mean, you look like someone from a comic book!"

"What are comics anyway?"

Li Xinglan was no longer surprised by the new words that popped out of Su Su's mouth from time to time.

"It's just...a picture book! It's just a compliment on how pretty you are."

Su Su picked up a light pink flower-patterned dress and exclaimed, "You are not only pretty, but also have fair skin. This color suits you."

Li Xinglan rolled his eyes. He actually didn't like others only paying superficial attention to his appearance.

In this country that values the use of force, his appearance is too feminine, like a rabbit, which is totally inconsistent with his fighting power!

I'm a macho man! Do you know what a macho man is?

"This macho pink suits you too. I'm too dark to even think about it."

Of course, Su Su couldn't hear Li Xinglan's inner protest. She just kept on talking, "If I were half as pretty as you, I wouldn't even wear any clothes. I'd run around naked!"

Li Xinglan: "......"

He couldn't respond to these lewd words, so he turned to the clothing store owner and said, "These, these, and those, she just touched, take the appropriate size and pack them up."

"Okay!" The boss responded eagerly and packed the food quickly.

Make big orders and make big money, folks.

"Holy crap? An ancient version of a domineering CEO falling in love with me?"

"Boss? What the hell is that?"

This time Su Su did not answer, but just looked at Li Xinglan seriously.

I have to say, if all modern men were like Gou Ge, the marriage rate in country Z would have skyrocketed by several exponential rates.

"What kind of girl from a good family would be like you, staring at men with lustful eyes all day long!"

Li Xinglan crossed his arms, a look of disgust on his face: "Wang Xiaocui! Watch your words and actions!"

Su Su's face was filled with question marks. "Excuse me?"

Li Xinglan knew what this meant and deliberately said, "I'm talking about you, Wang Xiaocui. It's not good for a woman to be too lustful. It's easy for men to deceive her."

"Li Goudan! Call me Wang Xiaocui again!"

Su Su stretched out her claws and tried to attack Li Xinglan's chest, but Li Xinglan dodged them easily.

He shouted with a smile: "Wang Xiaocui Wang Xiaocui Wang Xiaocui~"

She was overthinking it, what a bully CEO.

Su Su turned away and ignored him in disgust.

It's really good at ruining the atmosphere.
