As they left, they were all filled with the joy of what they had accomplished.
In particular, since these assets were originally taken from the people, taking them back and using them for the people again is a way for them to see things through to the end.
At this moment, cause and effect are about to form a virtuous cycle.
Shen Xingmian knew that compared to the capital, her family probably felt a greater sense of belonging to the Northern Border, after all, they had spent most of their lives protecting this place.
Now that we're going to use this place as a base to develop vigorously, how can I not feel excited?
She spent the entire day receiving treatment and in a coma, and didn't have a chance to properly see Yong'an Town, let alone take a stroll around the military camp.
The good thing is that, apart from the three injured people in her family, no one else recognizes her.
Tomorrow, I'll take Xiao Yanyue to the town to familiarize ourselves with the situation and see if we can hear anything interesting.
After arriving here, she had been on the road the whole time. Now that she had finally settled down, she wanted to get to know this place as soon as possible.
I can't wait any longer!
The four of them first secretly drove to the military camp. Led by her grandfather, Shen Xingmian found a good place for the imperial envoy to hang up the body before they returned home.
After parting ways with the adults, Shen Xingmian went straight to Xiao Yanyue, guessing that he was still awake, and boldly knocked on his door.
Sure enough, a response came from inside very quickly.
A moment later, the door opened, and Shen Xingmian immediately slipped through the crack and closed the door behind her.
She was trying to prevent the cold wind from getting in, but in Xiao Yanyue's eyes, her anxious look was really... bewildering.
Shen Xingmian was shivering with cold air and was afraid that Xiao Yanyue would get cold. Seeing that his blanket was slightly lifted, she knew that he had just lain down.
She promptly tucked him back into bed, then sat down beside him and said casually, "From now on, if I knock on the door and you're already in bed, you don't need to get up. Just let me in."
Xiao Yanyue wanted to say, "The door is bolted, how are you going to get in?" But when she thought about her strange and wonderful abilities, she felt that there was nothing she couldn't do.
Shen Xingmian considerately tucked him in before asking, "I'd like to wander around town tomorrow and get familiar with the area. Do you want to come along?"
Everyone else here probably has someone they know, but we're the only strangers, so it's okay if we go together.
Xiao Yanyue had thought that she had come to call her specifically because she only wanted to take her with her, but she never expected it to be for this reason.
However, he was still very willing.
He also realized that in Mianmian's heart, there were not many hidden agendas. She really just saw him as a little brother, someone she didn't need to be wary of.
Even visiting late at night, they had no psychological barriers whatsoever.
well.
He actually hoped she would feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable, because that would at least prove that in her heart, he was a man.
Her candor only shows that, in her heart, I really am just a child.
It seems there's still a long way to go to change this mindset.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Xingmian anxiously poked his cheek with her finger and urged, "Are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll go call my cousin!"
He quickly replied, "Yes, I'll go."
Shen Xingmian immediately beamed with joy and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, then we'll go out after breakfast tomorrow. Alright, I won't bother you anymore, go to sleep, I'm leaving."
After saying that, she cheerfully got up, helped him lower the bed curtains to block the wind, and then left satisfied.
...
The next morning, Shen Xingmian did not leave directly through the main gate with her people, because she did not know how many people were secretly watching their house.
The two ran to the backyard, trying to find a wall to climb over.
Contrary to Shen Xingmian's expectations, she thought she would be the more agile person, since she was slightly taller than Xiao Yanyue.
As a result, although the child was short, he was very agile.
Without her help, he easily leaped onto the wall. On the contrary, she had to use all her strength to climb up, huffing and puffing.
That's utterly shameful.
Once she reached the top of the wall, she realized that she had already teleported in front of Xiao Yanyue. Why was she still thinking about disguising herself now?
That's unnecessary.
However, since she was already perched on the wall, teleporting would only take her to the same height, so she might as well just jump down.
Xiao Yanyue thought she was afraid of heights and dared not jump, so she opened her arms below and said earnestly, "Mianmian, don't be afraid, I'll catch you."
Although his tone and demeanor seemed reliable, Shen Xingmian still didn't dare to jump into his arms. With her small, bean sprout-like body, if she fell from such a height, she would surely be flattened.
She conjured a vine in her hand, fixed it to the top of the wall, and it slowly climbed down.
She would have jumped in the summer, but her bones are brittle in the winter, and the impact would make the soles of her feet hurt terribly. She didn't want to suffer like that, so she preferred to go slower and be safe first.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yanyue could only silently withdraw her arms, thinking to herself, "I've been rejected again."
No, when we get back, he has to eat a lot, eat a lot, and grow taller quickly. Even if he doesn't look like an adult, he has to be taller than Mianmian.
He was fed up with having to look up to see her eyes.
Shen Xingmian's hands are usually very nimble, but because she was wearing too many layers of clothing and her hands were very cold, she appeared rather clumsy.
After getting down, she let out a soft breath, finally clearing away the shame she had felt. How embarrassing to have been in front of her little brother, sob sob...
She walked casually out of the alley, calling out, "Dao Dao, let's go buy you candied hawthorns. By the way, do you prefer hawthorn or strawberry candied hawthorns?"
After thinking for a moment, he muttered to himself, "Wait a minute, it seems like there are only hawthorns here. Strawberries aren't available in the summer, so how could we possibly get them in the winter? This is all so confusing."
She was so impressed by the dazzling array of candied hawthorn stalls in modern times that she would buy several skewers every time she passed by.
They have hawthorn, strawberry, and yam bean flavors! She really likes this one because it's the cheapest. Then there's the cherry tomato flavor, which is sweet and sour, and with the sesame seeds on the outside, it's super fragrant.
There are also vendors selling candied sweet potato chips and hawthorn skewers near the school gate. They taste even better than candied sweet potatoes, and they're only one yuan a skewer—such a great deal!
However, after graduation, I never saw candied sweet potato slices again, let alone the ones that cost one yuan a skewer.
It's really sad.
