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

After saying that, he winked at Jiang Li, turned around and strode away.

Jiang Li called out, "Yaya, come and eat. Eat your fill first."

"Yes, thank you, sister."

After eating, Yaya cleaned up and looked at her with some entanglement: "Sister, should I change the wedding dress on the bed? If that young man in white comes back, will he be angry with you? What should I do then?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, but I can still take a shower. Help me get some hot water. I want to take a shower while that person is not here. I am sweating all over."

"Okay, Yaya, go boil some water. Sister will take a rest in the room."

"Well, I understand, thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome, sister."

After Yaya went out, Jiang Li opened the window and disappeared in a flash. He looked around and saw the kitchen, so he rushed in hungry. He took out some food from each dish and hid them in the space.

After returning to the room, Yaya quickly got some hot water and knocked on the door: "Sister, I'm done, you wash while I watch from outside."

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Li brought in the water, washed quickly, put on his clothes, and walked around the yard. The yard was not big, with many shelves. He could smell the fragrance of medicine and knew it was where medicinal herbs were dried.

Yaya followed her closely, looking around vigilantly, fearing that someone would come out and attack them.

"Sister... Sister, what should we do tonight? Are you really going to spend your wedding night with that man? My mother said that if you spend your wedding night with that man, you will be his wife for the rest of your life."

"From now on, if you want to leave, it will be very difficult, very difficult."

Jiang Li twitched his lips and said, "It's okay. I have a way. This yard is very safe. You can go to the next room to sleep. No matter what happens, don't come over. Got it."

Yaya looked at her with concern and said nothing.

"Yaya, were you captured and taken to the mountain by them, or were you sent here by your family?"

"…It was sent to us. It was our turn in Xiaoxi Village. There were only three girls in the village, and my family was the poorest. The village chief took the silver, and my parents sent me to the foot of the mountain."

Jiang Li remained silent, and felt more and more that he could not stay in this mountain village. However, there were many houses here and everything was very complete. If it were used as a place for steelmaking, it would indeed be a good choice.

But Doctor Mu was obviously a cunning man, and she...could not defeat him, so she would just drive him down the mountain as soon as possible. As for those bandits who were doing hard labor, it didn't matter if they died.

She is determined to own this cottage.

Yaya went back to her room to sleep. Jiang Li walked along the corner of the wall, glanced at the bandits guarding the gate, pretending he didn't see them. When he was tired, he sat on a stool and looked at the starry sky.

After the end of the world, the air was shrouded in gray. Not to mention seeing the stars, you couldn’t even see the sky clearly during the day. It was still better to go up to the mountains, where you could see the stars clearly.

Jiang Li was so engrossed in the starry sky that he didn't even notice someone entering the yard until he heard a voice in his ear: "Little girl, what are you looking at? Are the stars really that beautiful?"

When Mu Qingchen walked into the yard, he saw a small figure sitting on a stool, staring blankly at the night sky. The whole person looked like someone who had been abandoned. Well, like a poor little thing, so lonely that it made people feel distressed.

He stood behind her, leaned down, and whispered something in her ear. He wanted to tease the little girl, but the next moment, his left eye hurt. He subconsciously covered his eyes and looked at her in surprise.

"you you……"

Jiang Li stood up from his chair, raised his fist, and looked at him warily: "What do you want to do? You can't blame me if you get beaten. Who told you to stand behind me?"

Mu Qingchen put down his left hand, revealing the bruised eye, and said unhappily: "Little girl, you've gone too far. I was just teasing you, but you actually did this to me. It's really chilling."

Why do I feel so guilty for no apparent reason?

"You...are okay. I really didn't use too much force, otherwise your head would have exploded. Really, I wasn't lying to you."

"Haha, so I have to thank you."

Jiang Li didn't hear the hidden meaning and said calmly: "You're welcome. Just don't stand behind me next time, or I will subconsciously fight back. If you don't control the strength well, your head will be split open."

Mu Qingchen looked at the serious man and rolled his eyes. He was really curious about how such a strange woman could be raised in the village at the foot of the mountain.

"So, you hit me, and you're just going to let it go like this? Come in and apply some medicine, otherwise your eyes will be damaged and you'll have to take care of them for the rest of your life."

Raise... for a lifetime, mother, that's so horrible. If she doesn't want it, she can't even feed herself, how can she raise a man? That will take a lot of food, and it will be more painful than killing her.

Jiang Li followed him and came into the house. She looked at the man sitting beside the bed, staring at her with dim eyes. She lowered her head and said guiltily, "Where's the ointment? I'll help you apply it. I'll just take care of you."

"I have no food. I can't even feed myself."

Mu Qingchen was almost so angry that he laughed. It was just a casual remark, but she actually took it seriously and was so resistant. He was the eldest son of a century-old traditional Chinese medicine family, and he had never been despised like this before.

I felt a sense of defeat in my heart: "Come over and apply the medicine. If you don't come over, I'll just throw that little girl into the cave."

When Jiang Li heard the threat, she hurried forward, took the ointment and opened it. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. It was obviously a top-quality ointment. Hmm, she kind of wanted it.

This ointment smells so good, it can be used as a sachet.

She applied some with her fingertips and gently smeared it on his eyelids, exhaling warm breaths. Mu Qingchen felt a little uncomfortable, turned his eyes away and coughed softly, "Are you done?"

"Well, it's healed. I'll give you the ointment back."

Seeing her looking at the porcelain box eagerly, Mu Qingchen curled his lips and said, "Why, you want it? Tell me, who do you want the ointment for? You are a family member."

"This ointment is very difficult to make. One box takes me a lot of effort. If you make me happy, I can give it to you. It will remove scars and I guarantee that no trace will be left."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "For a friend."

"Oh, man and woman~~"

"man"

Mu Qingchen's smile faded, and he put the ointment away: "Oh, I suddenly don't want to give it to you. If you want to give it to me, buy it yourself. You can sleep by yourself tonight, and I'm going to the pharmacy. That's it."

He stood up and walked outside. He paused at the door, waiting for her to call him in. But after waiting for a long time, there was still no one. He turned around and saw that the door was closed.

His face darkened: "You little heartless girl, humph."

Jiang Li was eager for him to leave, and when he saw that he was going to the pharmacy, he closed the door, took off his shoes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep, planning to walk around the village tomorrow.

Find out the situation here, then send a signal to let Lin Xiao and the others go up the mountain. It’s hard to see clearly at night, so it will be more convenient during the day.

What a pity, if the boss had chosen her, many things would have been much simpler. But now, she can't get close to the boss at all, and can only use roundabout strategies to avoid hurting innocent people.
