Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Stone Village, Village Chief's House

There were bursts of crying and sighing coming from the house, which made people feel depressed.

"Cui Cui, don't cry. Grandpa has no choice. If we can't hand over the girls of marriageable age, our Stone Village will be finished. Those bandits will not let us go."

"For the sake of Stone Village, I have no choice but to let you suffer."

The woman cried and her voice was full of grievance.

"Grandpa, Brother Zhuzi and I are already engaged, and now you're sending me to the bandit's den. When he comes back, how can I face him with my dignity, wuwu~~~"

"Why, why is it so difficult for us to just live a peaceful life? God is so unfair."

Shishan sighed, his face full of wrinkles, his hair graying, and his cloudy eyes lifeless. He had been the village chief for twenty years, and it was really too tiring, too tiring.

Now we have to sacrifice our only granddaughter. This is a cannibalistic world. Once you enter the bandit’s den, there is no possibility of getting out in this lifetime.

Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shishan wiped his eyes, got up to open the door, only to see a man standing at the door, staring at him.

It made people feel a chill on their backs, and they stepped back unconsciously, with a vigilant look in their eyes: "Who are you, and why did you come to our Stone Village?"

Jiang Li wanted to smile to add some intimacy, but then he changed his mind and decided to give up. She couldn't laugh, so it would be better not to scare her with her smile.

He lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, I have no ill intentions. Perhaps, I can solve the problem of your granddaughter going to the village. I want to go to the village to find my sister, but your granddaughter doesn't want to go. We can both get what we want. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shishan looked around, saw that there was no one, and stepped aside to let the person in.

The two of them came into the house, and Shi Shan poured a bowl of water and handed it to them: "Young man, drink some water, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Jiang Li nodded and sat down, then slowly told the story he had prepared in advance: "To be honest, my sister disappeared two months ago near Longhu Village. Maybe she was taken up the mountain. I want to go find her."

"But I can't get into the village alone, so I want to dress up as a woman and pretend to be your granddaughter, so I can get into the village."

"Don't worry, if I find my sister and leave, I will make arrangements in advance so that they will think we jumped off the cliff and you will not be implicated. I wonder if the old man thinks this is a good idea."

Shishan was a little tempted. He only had this granddaughter left. It would be better to just wait a little longer and take Cuicui away when Zhuzi came back than to go to Longhu Village.

Who knew that they would actually ask for people in advance this year?

Jiang Li sat upright with a calm expression.

A woman came out helplessly, her round face full of tears, sobbing: "Grandpa, please, agree to him, he is a man, even if he goes to Longhu Village, he will not suffer any loss."

Ok?

How does she know that the man won't suffer a loss? Isn't he still down there? He should understand the homosexuality. Oh, she was distracted.

Shi Shan was so annoyed by her noise that he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Grandpa promises you, don't cry anymore."

"Young man, think carefully. If you enter Longhu Mountain, you may never get out in this lifetime. Not to mention saving your sister, you won't be able to get out yourself."

Jiang Li's eyes were firm: "I know that my sister is my only relative. If I can't find her, I will never be able to live with it in this life. Instead of regretting it, I'd better give it a try with my life."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you. But you're a man after all. If you change into women's clothes, I don't know if you'll be noticed."

"I wonder if Miss Cuicui has any clothes that she doesn't wear. Let me try them out. If they don't look good, I can think of other ways. What do you think?"

Cuicui nodded repeatedly, ran into the house quickly, and took out a set of emerald green dress. This was new clothes bought for her by her grandfather. She had only worn it once and was reluctant to wear it normally.

However, this time he was willing to go to the village for her and risk his life, so giving him the new clothes can be considered as compensation.

With a guilty look in her eyes, she handed the dress over: "Sir, this is new clothing. I have only worn it once. I will give it to you."

Jiang Li glanced at her and curled his lips: "Thank you Miss Cuicui, please wait for me for a moment, I will go change my clothes, and you can take a look later. If there are any problems, please let me know."

"it is good"

Less than a stick of incense

Jiang Li walked out. She didn't know how to put her hair in a bun, so she could only use a wooden hairpin to tie it up slightly at the back, and the rest of her hair was loose.

The grandfather and grandson looked at the pretty girl coming out with their eyes wide open, staring at her in disbelief. The emerald green dress made her look even more lively and playful.

It’s just that expressionless face that seems a bit out of place.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Oh, I forgot to mention that my sister and I are twins, so we look more alike."

"If there is a problem, tell me and I will adjust it."

Cuicui looked at him with shining eyes, suppressing the excitement in her heart: "No, no, there is nothing wrong with it. Very good, very good, thank you very much, sir. It was you who saved me, wuwu~~"

"Grandpa, what do you think? Is it suitable?"

"Well, it's suitable, but you should smile more, young man. You are too stiff and look a little unapproachable."

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then grinned, causing the grandfather and grandson to burst out laughing: "Haha, forget it, Grandpa, don't force me to laugh. This is already very good, young master, I don't need to thank you for your kindness."

"If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you."

When she put away the smile on her face, she realized that her facial paralysis made it difficult for her to smile. She felt sad.

"Miss Cuicui, you are too polite. I should thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to go up the mountain to look for my sister in this lifetime."

After learning the details, Jiang Li stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he placed a silver ingot on the couch in the inner room while nothing happened to them, took the dress given by Cuicui, and left.

Three days later, she would go up the mountain and prepare.

After the grandparents and grandchildren left, they took Cuicui to the town under the cover of darkness at night and waited for Zhuzi to come back so that they could take her away directly to avoid being seen and anything unexpected happening.

After Shishan came back, he pretended to be worried. There were people from the mountain stronghold in the village, so it was always better to be careful.

On the other side, Lin Xiao and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone had returned safely.

"Boss, the problem has been solved. Does the head of Stone Village agree to do this? Will it be exposed?"

Jiang Li nodded: "It has been resolved. Three days later, wait at the foot of Longhu Mountain. Someone from the mountain will come to pick you up. You hide and do not act on your own before you see the signal."

"obey"
