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

Just as he finished speaking, someone slapped him on the head. Jiang Li turned around and yelled, "Who is it? Who hit me on the head? Don't you know that this will prevent people from growing taller? This is too much."

Su Xuemei stood behind him and snorted, "Little girl, why are you imitating others for no reason? You have ruined your reputation for nothing. Lu E, you can go back. She didn't mention this, so there must be no bugs."

Lu'e was a little hesitant. She was so scared. Only if Venerable Jiang said something would she feel at ease.

"Yes, Sister Su is right. There are indeed no more. Go back, Miss. Just take precautions. Those little bugs are not fatal and not poisonous. At most, they are just a little disgusting."

"...Okay, thank you, Venerable Jiang."

Su Xuemei sat down after seeing the people leave, and said bluntly: "Give me something to eat. Those people really piss me off. I told you long ago that I don't want to lead the team, but they insist on me taking charge, and none of them listen."

"It would be better to let them be eaten by bugs and put an end to it once and for all."

Jiang Li cut some barbecued meat, put it in a bamboo bowl, and handed it over: "Here, eat it while it's hot. We're just getting started. There are many dangerous things in there. If you're lucky, you'll encounter something that's not too lethal."

"If you are unlucky and run into some weird things, that would be unlucky. You wouldn't even know how you died. But this is the outskirts, so it shouldn't be that bad that you would run into some weird things."

Su Xuemei ate while looking over there. She now realized that although this little girl was young, she knew a lot. It was the right decision to bring her into the team.

Otherwise, in Lu'e's situation, she might really have someone pull the worm out. If it broke... that would be fatal.

It would be better to talk more and gain some experience. If I really run into it, I won't be completely in the dark and know nothing. Thinking of this, I asked casually: "Well, then you talk to me, what will you usually run into."

Jiang Li smiled brightly, showing his eight white teeth: "Sister Su, are you sure you want me to tell you, but I usually have a bad mouth. What if I run into you? Will you want to beat me to death?"

Su Xuemei: "...That's not the case. If I really run into it, I can only say it's bad luck. It has nothing to do with you. If you don't tell me, I will be even more helpless if I run into it."

"When I came to this damn place, I felt creepy."

"Well, let me just pick a few and talk about them. In a forest like this, no one comes here all year round, which means there are a lot of poisonous creatures. Some of them are not poisonous, but they are more dangerous than poisonous ones."

Jiang Li spoke slowly, and seeing that her face was getting worse and worse, his voice gradually lowered: "Sister Su, are you okay? You weren't scared, were you? The probability of encountering bone-killing ants is actually very low."

"I'm just saying that there is such a possibility. If you really encounter it, don't say anything. Find a water source and dive in. When the smell on your body dissipates, you will be fine."

"Wherever that thing passes, there won't be any living things."

"As for other pythons, if you encounter one, there is only one word - kill. There is no other way. Just try your luck. No one knows what is in this damn place."

Su Xuemei pointed at the bag with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Since you can summon your great-grandfather, why don't you ask him why he chose this place and placed the treasure here? Isn't this just pitfalls for future generations? Aren't you afraid of extinction of your descendants?"

Jiang Li was silent for a long time: "......!!"

"What's wrong? Your great-grandfather doesn't care about you."

"Yes, he is socially anxious and shy. He will only come out when I am in danger and call him. It is useless at other times. He will not pay attention to me. Alas, my ancestors are disobedient. There is nothing I can do."

Su Xuemei: Haha, if she were this girl’s ancestor, she might as well be struck to death by lightning. Keeping her around will cause her constant harassment, which will be a hassle.

Mo Yuan listened to them talking to one side without saying a word. He quietly packed up his things, took out the tent and set it up. He said, "Xiao Li, you sleep inside tonight. I'll be outside guarding."

"No, this is for two people, we sleep together."

"…Well, we can take turns sleeping."

Jiang Li blinked, his dark eyes were clear and transparent: "Why, A Yuan doesn't want to, hey, if you really don't want to, then I can only sleep with Sister Su."

Mo Yuan looked at Su Xuemei, his eyes suddenly becoming dangerous.

"Hey, you two are flirting, can you please not hurt others by mistake? Why should I sleep with a little girl? I can see that you are not honest in sleep. I don't want to sleep with you, sister."

Su Xuemei stood up and walked around the tent, praising it repeatedly: "You made this thing well. It uses rainproof cloth inside. It can be folded and stood up, which is convenient to carry. It will be fine even if it rains."

"Do you have any extra ones? Give me one and I'll buy it from you."

Jiang Li waved his hand: "No more, there are only two of us, we really can't bring much stuff, so we only brought one tent, which is enough for two people to sleep in."

"We are an engaged couple, so when we go out, we don't care so much."

"Okay, then you guys should go to bed early after eating. We will go into the woods early tomorrow morning. I will arrange for the night watchmen, so you don't have to worry about it. Just sleep well at night."

The night gradually darkened

Everyone simply washed up, returned to their respective teams, and found a place to close their eyes and take a nap. In the entire open space, the only sounds were the occasional snoring and the occasional yawns of the night watchmen.

A man yawned, rubbed his eyes, and walked into the bushes. When he was about to return to the camp after relieving himself, his foot was tied by something and he couldn't pull it out.

The man said angrily, "Heizi, stop messing around. I want to go back to sleep. Can you let go? If the Lord finds out, we will be in big trouble."

The feeling of restraint on the ankles became stronger and stronger. The man became a little impatient. He looked back and saw something. His eyes widened and the next moment something pierced his chest.

A gurgling sound was heard, and the man's pupils gradually dilated and his face turned pale. In just a moment, the whole person was sucked dry, and a slight friction sound was heard.

After a moment, calm was restored.

Early next morning

Jiang Li was eating a steamed bun when he heard some commotion and smelled a faint smell of blood. He sniffed and said, "A Yuan, do you feel that the smell of blood is a bit stronger today?"

Mo Yuan looked around, stood up and said, "Wait here, I'll go over there and see what happened."

"Okay, be careful."

Not long after, Mo Yuan came back with a sullen face and lowered his voice: "Two people are missing, one is the night watchman and the other is not. There are no signs of struggle at the place where the night watchman was."
