Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

It turned out that all her efforts were like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket—completely in vain.

She waited anxiously in the tree, minute by minute passing, until Ouyang Chengren came out of the brothel, but she still did not see Wangchen's figure.

This made her doubt: Could she really have guessed wrong? Perhaps there was no connection between Wangchen and Ouyang Chengren? Could he actually be in Chunding City?

Thinking this, Qianqian decided not to wait any longer.

She jumped down from the tree and returned to the inn with a somewhat heavy heart. Walking into the room, she collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, intending to sleep well and cast aside the day's fatigue and disappointment.

At the same time, Ouyang Chengren also returned to his tent. He tidied up a bit, then lay down on the bed.

However, although his body was already very tired, Wangchen's figure kept lingering in his mind.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what. Finally, he simply started counting sheep, hoping it would help him fall asleep.

One, two, three... Ouyang Chengren counted silently in his heart; the number of sheep grew more and more, but his thoughts still could not calm down.

However, counting sheep seemed to have some effect; when he counted to twelve thousand seven hundred and forty-one sheep, he finally could not resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, Qianqian spent a peaceful night, sleeping without dreams.

Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, illuminating the entire room.

Luo Shun woke up early, but he did not disturb Qianqian, because he knew today was a rare rest day, and letting her sleep a little longer was good.

And Qianqian indeed slept especially soundly as he thought, sleeping until the sun rose high, three poles high.

She even did not want to return to the camp, just wanting to lie in bed like this, enjoying this moment of peace and comfort.,

However, just at that moment, the thought that had just surfaced in Qianqian's mind vanished like a meteor.

She knew very well in her heart that she still had a lot of things waiting to be done; how could she be so lazy?

So, Qianqian quickly dismissed that thought, took a deep breath, then stretched a big stretch, as if to drive away all the sleepiness in her body.

Next, Qianqian slowly climbed out of bed, her movements somewhat sluggish, after all she had not fully woken from the dream.

She rubbed her eyes, then walked to the wardrobe and took out a set of men's clothing to put on. The men's clothing was plain in color and well-tailored; worn on Qianqian, it made her look even more dashing and spirited.

After changing clothes, Qianqian came to the washbasin and carefully fished out the Human Skin Mask that had been soaking in the water overnight.

The mask felt slippery to the touch, with a hint of coolness, making one feel somewhat comfortable.

Qianqian gently put the mask on her face, then looked at herself in the bronze mirror. In an instant, a handsome and refined man appeared in the mirror, completely different from the previous Qianqian.

Qianqian nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the Fake Adam's Apple on the table and carefully stuck it on her neck. After everything was ready, she prepared to go find Luo Shun.

The two had agreed last night to go out together today. Last night Qianqian had not gone out on the pretext of going to bed early, so today she had to go out no matter what, otherwise it would easily arouse Luo Shun's suspicion.

Indeed, when Qianqian came to Luo Shun's room, she found Luo Shun waiting for her.

As soon as Luo Shun heard Qianqian's knocking, he immediately went forward and opened the door.

Looking at Qianqian, he couldn't help but complain: "You really can sleep! You went to bed so early yesterday, and today you actually slept until three poles high!"

Hearing this, Qianqain scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and explained with a smile: "It's not that training in the camp was too tiring, right? It's so hard to get a day off, of course I have to sleep a little longer. 。",

The two walked and chatted; Luo Shun told Qianqian he had already eaten breakfast this morning, and there was free breakfast downstairs. He had a bite, but considering Qianqian was still asleep, he didn't wake her.

Qianqian said she wasn't hungry and suggested going out first. Luo Shun readily agreed, saying he had gone out alone last night and found it boring, so he came back early.

The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it they had walked out of the inn. They decided to go to the bookstore to have a look, because besides training, it was really too boring usually.

Luo Shun had loved reading books very much before joining the camp, but since entering the camp, he hadn't touched a book for a month, and he really felt a bit uncomfortable.

So he thought of buying a few books, and he indeed had some money now, because it was said before that anyone who stayed in the camp for a full month could get twenty taels of silver. 。

Right now, Luo Shun happened to have exactly twenty taels of silver in his hand. As for his greedy aunt, Luo Shun felt she might think the journey was too far and that coming to the camp to see him once wasn't worth it,

and besides, since he left her house, no one was eating for free anymore, she probably had almost forgotten him. So she didn't come to ask him for money.

And the money for eating at the inn yesterday was all paid by Qianqian; besides going out for a stroll last night and buying some snacks, spending a few dozen wen, he hadn't touched anything else.

He had already planned in his heart, intending to keep fifteen taels of silver to save up, to use later for marrying a wife.

As for the remaining money, he prepared to use it to buy books. After all, he was full of thirst for knowledge, hoping to constantly improve himself through reading.

And starting next month, the camp would distribute monthly salaries to everyone! Although only one or two taels of silver per month, he was already very satisfied.

After all, there were still those twenty taels of silver before; people can't be too greedy.

As for Qianqian, she didn't care about that bit of money at all; to her it was a drop in the bucket, not even enough to stuff between her teeth.

However, she still wanted to buy some books, after all it was indeed quite boring in the camp. Although she wasn't particularly interested in reading, she could buy some picture books to read; she really liked those picture books!

Just like that, the two hit it off and decided to go to the nearest Qingshan Shushi together to have a look.

Unexpectedly, the decoration of this bookstore was indeed quite unique! The overall decoration style was a pale green, making one feel as if they were in a quiet and elegant bamboo forest the moment they walked in, feeling especially refreshed.

Moreover, there were some calligraphy and paintings depicting mountains and waters hanging on the walls, adding a touch of cultural atmosphere. ，

Looking closely, there were five bookshelves placed in the room, arranged neatly. The first two bookshelves were filled with various books used for children's enlightenment, such as Three Character Classic, Analects, Thousand Character Classic, etc. These books were obviously prepared to cultivate the children's morality and knowledge.
