Lin Yuchen didn't know that Su Nianwei was already looking for work for him. If he knew, he would probably sigh. After all, he didn't even know if he could escape with his brother.

At this moment, he was working overtime to dig a tunnel, especially since he didn't know when the battle between Feng Lan and Tianqi would start.

He had barely rested in the past two days and basically relied on dry food and water to maintain his most basic physiological needs. If he hadn't visited Xiao Ke from time to time and changed his medicine, he would have been living in a tunnel.

Xiao Ke is feeling better, at least he can walk on the ground, but the previous wound was caused by a poisonous sharp blade, which will take a while to heal, let alone strenuous exercise.

In the past few days, he had been hiding from the people who patrolled the racecourse from time to time. He worked hard and was surprisingly fast. If nothing else goes wrong, in three days, he will be able to complete the project and run away with his brother.

On this day, the medicine that Xiao Ke needed to replace earlier was used up and needed to be re-prepared. Lin Yuchen's ready-made medicinal materials were a little short of flavor, so he decided to go to the inner city of the county.

Before he reached the inner city gate, he could already feel the tense situation. From a distance, I saw a queue of 20 to 30 meters at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate were checking people coming in and out one by one.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in the city?" The gatekeeper shrank when he saw the man in front of him. He looked a little suspicious at his unkempt appearance and became more severe.

"I, I...I am..." The man hesitated and couldn't answer. The gatekeeper thought of the recent rumors and that there was still a wanted criminal who was not caught.

At first glance, this man seemed unusual, so he immediately called on other soldiers to take him away.

Lin Yuchen knew this man as a bandit from the northwest outside Canglang County. After the bandit den was wiped out last year, these people wandered around the villages in the county, stealing some things, which was a bit annoying, but fortunately they didn't hurt anyone.

It was a bit funny for him to know this person. The stupid thief had nothing wrong with stealing, so he stole the pills he had made. The pills were originally made for his younger brother, but he had improved their taste, making them taste a bit like sugar.

This stupid thief ate a lot of candy and had diarrhea for three days. He couldn't hold it anymore and came to see him for treatment.

However, he did not sympathize with this man. Although this man had never killed anyone, he had done many things to help others do evil.

Being caught this time can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

However, this can be considered a wake-up call for him, Lin Yuchen thought to himself. It seemed like he had to be more cautious.

His face remained calm as he followed the crowd and moved forward step by step.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Why did you come to the city?" The gatekeeper's tone became gentler when he saw that he was wearing a long robe and looking fair.

"I am a student from Tonglu Academy. I went to the city to buy some pen and ink." He showed the sign of his former academy, looking like a scholar.

He knows how to answer well, not to mention that what he says is true.

He was indeed a student of Tonglu Academy, but it was just a few years ago. He did run out of pen and ink and needed to buy it, but it was just a matter of convenience.

"It turned out to be a gifted scholar from Tonglu Academy. I'm sorry. Let me say hello to the brothers. Please finish your shopping and go back as soon as possible." Seeing the sign of the academy, the gatekeeper was very polite and ordered the people behind him to take him in.

Lin Yuchen was not surprised by this. Tonglu Academy was originally a famous academy in Lin'an Prefecture. Due to the special situation of Canglang County, it is extremely important.

Under normal circumstances, local officials will not send foreign officials there like other places. Instead, they will select talents locally and hire them directly.

Tonglu Academy is the place where Lin'an Prefecture specializes in training officials, located in the southeast of Canglang County.

After successfully entering the inner city, Lin Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief. To be on the safe side, he went to the bookstore first and bought some paper and ink.

The pens here have some characteristics. There are many wolves in the border. Some hunters will peel off the fur of the wolves and sell them separately to pen makers to make them into brushes. The quality is very good.

It just so happened that Su Nianwei helped him a lot this time. Let's not talk about the transaction items, so we can prepare some thank you gifts first. Thinking of this, he bought some nice paper and pens before walking out of the bookshop.

After finding a deserted place, he put his things into the system space, changed his clothes, took a piece of charcoal to blacken his face, drew on his eyebrows, put on a beard, and entered the drug store.

After entering the drug store, he tentatively asked the drug boy why the situation in the city was so dangerous recently.

The child replied crisply: "Because there are fugitives! Recently, the county magistrate ordered that pharmacies are not allowed to sell golden sore medicine. If you want to buy it, you must first go to the county government to register and get a note."

Lin Yucheng looked at the medicine in his hand, becoming more and more vigilant. He decided not to delay and hurried out after changing his clothes.

The process of buying medicine went smoothly, but he still paid full attention.

He found an inn, booked a room, paid the rent for three days, and told the waiter that he had to rest and not be disturbed.

After seeing the waiter leave, he changed his clothes for the city, sneaked out of the room, fetched water from the well in the backyard of the inn, washed his face, and returned to his original scholarly appearance.

He threw the medicine into the space, took out the paper and pen he bought before, and left the city smoothly. It was not until he returned to the cave that he breathed a sigh of relief.
