Reborn At Boot Camp

Chapter 19-21

Chapter 19: Not Knowing Each Other

Xia Jinyuan had never faced a real threat from anyone. What surprised him even more was that the little girl before him was brave enough to go to the mountain with them.

Sunlight spreads through the leaves. Standing under the light and mottled shadows, this girl had a pair of resolute and tenacious eyes, which also contained loneliness and separateness.

His eye expression was not appropriate for his age. It is quite appropriate to say that he was precocious and had an old soul.

After observing the persistence in his eyes, he felt extremely brutal if he rejected it.

“Small girl, hurry up if you want to lead. Liu Bing, take care of him.” It was not because Xia Jinyuan believed she could show them the way. It was just that he did not want to continue talking to this precocious girl without doing anything to the suspect.

Only by looking at the extremely dangerous situation with her own eyes could the girl listen to his warning obediently.

He stepped forward. Wearing an army camouflage combat uniform, he used one hand to hold on to the bush and jumped gently. Its arched back made it look like a ferocious beast was eyeing its prey in the forest.

The soldier, Liu Bing, who was asked to stay with Ye Jian, took off his helmet and said with a smile, “Son, I can't believe you dared to threaten Captain Xia. Fortunately you are not his warrior, otherwise.” he put a helmet on Ye Jian's head. “If not, he will fix you hard.”

“Wear the hat and follow me.”

So, the young Major was named Captain Xia. There's nothing to be afraid of. Ye Jian had his own reasons when he asked for their help.

Without having time to refuse to wear a helmet, Ye Jian climbed a bush with both hands and followed the soldier.

“This is a sign of people squatting. Here are the tripod footprints. This photo.”

Soon, Ye Jian caught up with them. He saw the man called Captain Xia and the soldiers, whom he thought were chasing the criminals, standing together. Wherever Captain Xia pointed, a soldier would photograph the place with a camera.

Xia Jinyuan had heard the rustling of a bush behind her. He's a little surprised. This girl is wild. He caught up with us so quickly. He thinks.



“I met them a while there. But they were not there now,” while pointing to the slope in front of him, Ye Jian pursed his lips and said. “However, I doubt they will keep going up.”

Given that one person was bitten by a snake, he would die if he stayed longer on the mountain.

"That's right. So we can gather evidence first,” Xia Jinyuan said with a gentle smile. Obviously, he knows what that means. He tilted his head to look at it.

There was no phone signal in the mountain. It is impossible for the people who are stuck here to send information or call for help.

Although Captain Xia was a man with an intimidating presence, when he smiled, he was extremely charming.

Ye Jian never expected him to be distracted by the appearance of a man. However, at this moment, he could not help but glance at her once more.

As the gentle breeze from the mountain stroked his face, he regained his senses from the disturbance and also noticed a slight smell.

He held his breath and exhaled lightly. In an instant, his eyes shone, making them bright and sparkling like diamonds.

In a few steps, he had reached beside Xia Jinyuan. He said in a voice that only teenage girls have, “How long will it take you to gather evidence? The distance is not too far. You can catch them immediately.”

Xia Jinyuan lowered an intimidating look in her black eyes and calmly looked at the girl who was standing a few inches away from her.

As before, the persistence in the eyes of this girl made her words trustworthy.

Chapter 20: Being Grateful to Have You

Usually, Xia Jinyuan had her own arrangements when carrying out military actions. Rather than directly answering this girl, he quietly looked into her eyes that contained persistence and coldness.

Perhaps his long silence made him nervous. He spoke again anxiously, “If they climb here, they will reach Goat Horn Creek, and cross the river, they will get to the main road. Captain Xia, if you believe me, please follow me through here.”

As Ye Jian raced to chase after them, his forehead was red and swollen, and small drops of blood flowed from his face as it was scratched by the leaves of the bush. But the look in his eyes was still unshakable and persistent. Like a young tree rooted at the edge of a cliff, no danger or danger could compromise his confidence.

Xia Jinyuan's silence lasted only a few seconds and then she smiled subtly. Under his helmet, his extremely handsome yet cool face made Ye Jian feel warm, as he said, “Good.”

Simple and sharp.

“I can assure you that I am the person most familiar with this area,” Ye Jian pursed his lips and nodded lightly. He said in a clear and innocent voice, “You are on the right track if you follow me.”

Xia Jinyuan clenched her long fingers, and slowly, she waved her hand and gestured Ye Jian to leave first. “And I can assure you that, you will come home unscathed with us at your side.”

Sometimes, people choose to trust each other just because of their gaze, actions, or words.

Xia Jinyuan believed in Ye Jian, as she had seen the confidence hidden in her calm eyes.

Very interesting little girl. Disobedient, but has proper limits in his speech and actions. It's not hard to believe it.

To make Xia Jinyuan believe it, Ye Jian's face became tense with anxiety. His eyes, brilliant and dazzling like the sun, said that he would not give up easily.

He really wants to help them...



Xia Jinyuan smiled subtly. He nodded and said in a low voice, “You will walk behind us. In any situation, you should not do something frivolous.”

A soldier in charge of studying the map looked at Ye Jian and whispered to Xia Jinyuan, “Captain, he was right. This is the fastest way if they want to escape to the main road.”

“Three of you, go here,” Xia Jinyuan's long finger stroked the map lightly. His serious, calm and intelligent facial expression made him seem like an emperor protecting his territory. “Three of you, go here and stay behind our team.”

While giving instructions to his soldiers, Xia Jinyuan raised her head and looked at Ye Jian with sharp eyes. “Son, since you know our enemies have weapons, you must hide and do not let them see you!”

"okay!" Ye Jian nodded.

Although the soldiers did not understand why Xia Jinyuan decided to bring along this little girl, they did not have time to ask her. Carrying weapons and following Ye Jian, they chased after the villains quickly.

The direction Ye Jian pointed out was very precise. A soldier, who had previously served as a scout, looked at Ye Jian in surprise. How does he do that without looking around, checking for events, or analyzing the possibilities?

Compared to the dumbfounded lookout, Xia Jinyuan calmed down from her momentary shock and accepted that Ye Jian was very good at what she could do.

The world is so big that there is nothing to be surprised about. Some people are born to be smarter than others, while some people are destined to be mediocre. When you meet someone who surprises you, all you need to know is that it's not because he's weird, it's just because you're not as good as him.

Chapter 21: Nothing Is Too Weird in the World

“Ye Jian, 14 years old, eighth grade student, lost her parents at four years old.” When Private Liu Bing saw Ye Jian, he recognized him. When Xia Jinyuan asked about him, she told him the information about Ye Jian briefly. “Village residents say that she is a pitiful girl.”

Usually, without parental protection, children will become more sophisticated and learn how to survive.

While looking at Ye Jian passing through the forest nimbly, Xia Jinyuan tightened her eyes.

Although she had a disadvantaged family background, she did not show any traces of trauma. Despite facing difficulties, there was only toughness in his eyes.

It was difficult for Ye Jian to ignore his gaze, because it came from a man with a strong presence.

When he turned around and looked at her, he calmly avoided eye contact. All he could see was her beautiful profile. He instructed the soldiers, “Send the coordinates back to the army. Close the entrance to prevent anyone from coming to help our enemy.”

They have identified their target. Time to go and catch them.

And Ye Jian kept his promise. He stops when they get to a certain distance, “They should be in front. I can still hear it.”

How did he know that? None of the soldiers heard any sound. Xia Jinyuan could not help but tighten her eyes.

He raised his hand and gestured for the soldiers to come forward. They searched in the forest according to the direction that Ye Jian pointed out.

They are in front. The rustling of the leaves due to the movement of people was clearly different from the sound when the wind blew. I wonder if they have heard the difference. Ye Jian pursed his lips and thought.

Xia Jinyuan slid down from the slope. As his eyes swept across the scene, he found the marks left behind by the three criminal suspects.

Most of the thorny bushes that were split were the most convincing evidence that criminals had passed this path.

How does he know the exact direction the suspects are choosing?

And how did he know the suspects stayed?

A while later, Ye Jian slid down the slope. Before he could calm himself down, he felt someone was looking at him doubtfully.

He raised his head and looked into Xia Jinyuan's eyes.

Sensitive and intelligent girl! More and more questions popped up in Xia Jinyuan's mind, but she suppressed it and advised Ye Jian again, “Find protection to hide and wait for us to return. I'll send someone to drive you back to your village later.”



Ye Jian did not need protection. As they left, he turned around and returned to the village.

The reason he helped them was simple. In his past life, at his most difficult time, some soldiers who were also in military uniform helped him buy bus tickets.

He will never forget this kindness.

While they were resting, Brother Kun and his group were caught. Ye Jian faintly heard the sound of gunfire from behind him. And then, the silence again occurred on that mountain.

Ye Jian did not retrace his steps as he left the mountain. Instead, he walked over to the hot spring and cleaned up the dirt he had smeared on his face. With a light heart, he headed to Zhang Bin's house in the neighboring village.

When he returned, it was already more than four in the afternoon. As soon as he arrived at the main road, he saw Sun Dongqing and Ye Ying carrying two suitcases by the side of the road.

The two of them turned their eyes towards Ye Jian and ignored him.

But Ye Jian felt pleased and relieved as they acted coldly towards him.

“Bu, have you locked the doors and windows of our house? We will not be home today. We have to be careful not to give a chance to the thief, ” Ye Ying said anxiously with her soft and gentle voice, which sounded like she was very worried about the security of her home.

With a fake smile, Sun Dongqing hummed full of hostility and replied to his daughter, “I will beat her if she dares to enter! I will beat him so hard that he won't do it next time!” As he turned around, he expected to see Ye Jian stay and listen to him. However, Ye Jian had gone far.

Sun Dongqing gritted his teeth and spat with a contemptuous tone. His narrowed eyes flickered with malice.

Bad girl! You rascal! He will be humiliated on Monday!
