After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

We walked smoothly at first. When we were almost at the border, we were all exhausted. We thought we were almost at the border and we could take a rest here.

When we got to the border, we had to go to the battlefield and fight bravely. We had little time to rest, and many people were already sick before we even got to the border.

There’s no other choice, so we just rest in Yecheng.

Yecheng is a small city near the border, and the people here are hardworking. Because it is located in a remote area, there are few crops that can grow here. If you want to survive, you need to go to other cities to buy the goods you need for life.

At first, some merchants from other areas were robbed by the Rong people and became homeless in the streets. The kind-hearted people in Yecheng took them in.

The merchants found that the people here were simple and honest, but there was a lack of food. But there was one advantage: it was located in a fortress. Many merchants needed to pass through here to transport their goods better.

After returning safely, those merchants with consciences brought their goods back here to thank the people of Yecheng. They even told the local people that they could open small shops, sell food, or stay in the houses.

Merchants would stop here when passing by. As time went by, everyone liked to do business here. Business here became more and more prosperous.

After we arrived at Yecheng, we contacted the local county magistrate and settled most of the troops. Then we counted the sick people and went out to buy medicine for them.

When I arrived here, I was not in good health. After all, I am still a girl, and I cannot compare with boys in terms of physical strength.

The wind was strong and the climate was dry. I became very sick. My grandfather felt very distressed when he saw me like this. He wanted to take me to see a doctor himself.

But what a coincidence, the county magistrate of Yecheng is an old friend of his. When old friends meet, they naturally need to get drunk.

My grandfather wanted to decline the offer and take me to see a doctor, but I didn't want to. There was nothing wrong with my body, I just felt uncomfortable after coming here.

Who knows if he will have the chance to come back after he goes to the battlefield this time. My grandfather can meet his old friends, so why not let him have a good reunion?

Grandfather asked Luo Chen to accompany me to get medicine, but Luo Chen was busy at the moment. Luo Chen was sent to transport food and grass. There were not enough people over there, otherwise it would not be Luo Chen's turn to do this.

At this point, I knew I had to go get the medicine by myself. Although I was not familiar with the place, I had no choice.

At this time, Wen Yichen stood up and said, "I'll go with Miss Luo. If she goes alone and something goes wrong on the way, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it to anyone."

I was a little embarrassed when I heard the name "Miss Luo". Wen Yichen, as a prince, actually called me like that. I was a little confused for a moment.

But it would be bad if I didn't reply to him, so I forced myself to reply: "Thank you for your kindness, Third Prince. Would this be too much of a bother? Third Prince, please don't call me Miss. I can't bear that."

Wen Yichen's expression did not change at all, but he said in a soft voice: "Don't call me the Third Prince here. This is an identity that is easy for others to target. If Miss Luo were with me, I'm afraid those people would hurt you first."

I didn't expect Wen Yichen to have such an idea. I didn't expect that a man like him, who is in a high position, would be so insightful.

However, since he is no longer the Third Prince, it would be inappropriate for him to call me Miss Luo since I am now a woman dressed as a man.

I immediately said, "What should I be called in the future? Now that I am dressed as a man, it is not right to call me Mr. Luo. And my brother is here. Why not just call me Qingqing?"

Wen Yichen obviously didn't expect me to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then just call me Achen. I'll just call you by your nickname. Is that really okay?"

I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Out here. This is the only way to avoid exposing our identities. We are trying to survive now, not for anything else. There is nothing wrong with shouting like this."

Wen Yichen nodded and said: "They are all very busy. Then let's collect all the medicines the soldiers need and go to the doctor to get some medicine."

I nodded. We asked our subordinates to count the medicines we would need. We asked where the pharmacy was and then went there.

The streets of Yecheng are different from those of the capital. The streets of the capital are more prosperous. The streets of Yecheng are wider.

The things sold in both places are completely different. The things sold in Beijing are more refined. Many things are more refined than those sold in other places.

There are many samples of things from Yecheng, and things from all over the place are displayed here.

Wen Yichen and I walked through the busiest streets of Yecheng together, and we both lamented that the clothing here is really inclusive. You can wear any kind of clothes, all kinds of special clothes.

There are also a lot of things for sale on the street, including blankets, ornaments, and shoes with various ethnic characteristics. People who come to this street are also dressed differently, but everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

We quickly came to the clinic, got some medicine, and asked the doctor to feel my pulse and examine my condition. The doctor just said that I was too weak and prescribed some medicine for me.

In order to avoid exposing our identities, I changed into women's clothes when we set out, and Wen Yichen changed into Beijing clothes. It was not strange to see Beijing clothes here.

Seeing a doctor requires taking the pulse. If I go in men's clothes and the doctor is a woman, it will be easy for others to notice me. If there is no problem, why would I dress as a man?

I know that the woman was physically weak and she was prescribed a lot of medicines, but none of them aroused suspicion.

When I came to see the doctor, everything was normal and smooth. We all relaxed our guard. At first, I thought that I might meet some unfriendly people on the way to see the doctor, or that someone might deliberately pick a fight with me.

But I didn't expect that there was none of these, and everyone bought the medicine smoothly. So I suggested going out to have a look.

A girl who grew up in the capital, suddenly seeing the scenery of Yecheng, naturally wanted to go out for a walk and see these beautiful mountains and rivers.

After I proposed my idea, Wen Yichen did not object, but nodded and said: "This border town outside the Great Wall looks good to me. Now the medicine has been bought and the servants have been sent back. So there is nothing wrong with taking a stroll."

I was naturally very happy to hear this, and gradually began to let myself go, so I would stop in front of every small vendor on the street to see what they were selling.

But I never bought them, because I knew it would be a nuisance if I took them to the border. At the same time, carrying too many personal belongings with me always makes people feel uneasy.

We walked the whole street and didn't feel anything was wrong. From the street to the end of the alley, the vendors were very enthusiastic and would invite you to come and see what they were selling.

Regardless of whether I buy something or not, the vendors always greet me with a smile. They even say that new products will be available in the next few days. If I don’t like something this time, I can come back next time to see if there is something I like.

The people here were so enthusiastic that I couldn't stand it. When we were about to go back after shopping, a little girl suddenly rushed out. Her clothes were very shabby.

The color looked faded because he had worn it for too long, and the pants were too short. His clothes were not good either, they were all covered with patches. His face was unkempt.

At first, I didn't react. The person rushing towards me was a girl, and it was the sound she made that allowed me to identify her as a girl.

The girl grabbed my trouser leg and said to me anxiously: "Beautiful sister, please save me!"

At first I didn't understand what was going on, and suddenly a voice passed through my ears and said, "Don't run, you little bastard, or I'll beat you to death."

I looked in the direction of the figure and saw a burly man running towards us. I immediately understood that this child must have offended the man in some way. There was no time to ask further questions at this point.

I was just about to ask Wen Yichen what to do, but he immediately picked up the child and ran away with me.

We ran for a long time before we finally got rid of the man. We have to say that the man's physical strength is really good. We had no choice but to run to the center of the crowd to avoid the man.

Only after we were sure that the man had not caught up with us did we sit down on the ground, gasping for breath.

The child next to them said, "Sister, brother, are you all right? Thank you for saving me."

I immediately touched her head and said, "Can you tell me what happened?"

The child didn't say anything, but sobbed for a while, then wiped his tears and said, "It's my fault too. I haven't eaten for three days. I stole ten buns from his house, but I was discovered, so the man chased me."

After hearing this, I was also shocked. How could a child eat so much? Even if he had been hungry for three days, he couldn't eat so much.

Seeing the confusion on my face, the child said: "I didn't eat all the ten buns by myself. There were also my mother. My mother was sick in bed and she hadn't eaten for a long time. She had no money to buy medicine. So I stole the buns and brought them back."

Knowing this, I felt distressed. A sensible child and a sick mother. I immediately said, "Stealing is wrong. How about you take me to the bun shop and I'll pay for you?"

The child's eyes were full of disbelief, so he stammered, "Is this, this, is this really okay? Will the boss beat me? Will you send me back without paying me?"

I looked at her big, twinkling eyes and chuckled, "Since you've found me, it proves that you still believe in me. I'm willing to help you, and I will definitely help you."

At this time, Wen Yichen also came out and said to the child: "If you don't give him the money this time, he will beat you next time he sees you. Just give him the money. Then you don't have to be afraid of him."

After hearing this, the child thought for a while, nodded firmly and said, "Brother, sister, then you follow me."

After a while, we arrived at the door of the bun shop. The boss wanted to hit the child when he saw him, but I stopped him immediately. After I explained the situation, the man did not hit the boy again.

We were told the price, we paid, and that was the end of it.

We thought it was getting late and we should go back. Otherwise, if grandpa knew we had been out for so long, he would think something had happened to us on the way and would be very worried.

But the child held my hand and said, "Sister, can I sell myself to you? My family has no money. I want to exchange myself for money and buy medicine for my mother. My mother's illness can't wait any longer."

I definitely don't want to. We are in the army, and not everyone can be taken with us. Besides, the place we are going to is so dangerous, and she is so young now, and she still has a bright future.

I squatted down, shook my head and said, "No. I don't lack people here."
