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

When Chuchu saw him looking around, he said proudly, "How is it? Isn't my room beautiful? You can live here with me from now on. I will support you and bring back anything delicious to eat and drink for you."

Hearing this, Li Shang's bloodshot eyes dimmed for a moment, and he shook his head: "No need, I won't be able to stay even if I eat it without a body, you can eat it yourself, it's getting late, little girl, you should go to bed early and get up early."

"Yes, I'll make you a small bed and let you live in it. Also, your hair is so messy, can I braid it for you?"

"Okay, you can braid it however you want. If you think it's too long, you can cut it short."

Chuchu took the comb beside her and shook her head: "That won't work. My uncle said that our hair is controlled by our parents and cannot be cut at will. That is disrespectful. If you cut your hair, your parents will be unhappy."

Li Shang pursed his lips, and a hint of gloom appeared on his charming face.

"No, they died a long time ago and turned into ashes. There's no point in being happy or unhappy. I can cut it short if I like. Go get the scissors and cut it shorter."

"OK then."

With a few clicks, a section of hair was cut off. Chuchu touched her head, her eyes full of regret: "Handsome brother, your hair is so good. I have so little hair. I hope I won't be bald in the future."

Li Shang couldn't help but smile: "No, I'll teach you a way. You can take care of your hair for two years and it will be better than mine. It's getting late. You should go to bed early and get up early, girl."

Chuchu hummed, put her head inside, lifted the quilt and lay down. Before closing her eyes, she waved her hand: "Good night, handsome brother. Go to sleep. I'll tell you a story tomorrow..."

The sound of even breathing could be heard. Li Shang stared at her closely in the darkness with his eyes open. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't slept, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway. It was good to just look at the little girl. She looked pretty when she was asleep.

I don’t know how much time passed, my eyelids became heavier and heavier, I closed my eyes unconsciously, and fell asleep. Li Shang, who was sleeping, didn’t notice at all that the faint light emanating from the little girl was floating towards him.

Early next morning

After I just got up, I turned my head and saw a head snoring with eyes closed and a happy smile on his face. I thought to myself that this handsome brother is really interesting. I wonder if he will look better than my daddy if I press on his arms and legs.

No, not as good as uncle. In her heart, uncle is the most handsome.

She got out of bed carefully, dressed herself, went out to take the clothes, locked the door from outside, looked at the maid in the yard, and said with a stern face: "No one is allowed to enter my room, do you hear me?"

The maid was confused: "Young lady, if I can't go in, who will clean it? If it's been a long time, there will be bugs and it will be so dirty."

Chu Chu's eyes rolled around and she came up with an idea. She could hollow out a piece of the bed in the future so that she could put her handsome brother there without being discovered. But it was not possible for now because she had not had time to dig it out.

"Well, I'll clean it up in two days. That's all. I'm going to go find my uncle. I didn't ask you to go in, so don't go in. Otherwise, I won't want you to serve me here."

"...Okay, I understand."

After Chuchu finished explaining everything, he trotted out with peace of mind.

Lying on the bed in the room, Li Shang opened his eyes dazedly and looked around at the unfamiliar environment. He didn't react for a moment. When he came to his senses, his eyes widened. He just felt relaxed and fell asleep in a beautiful dream after a long time.

"Is the little girl gone? I actually fell asleep. Why is this? I have been unable to fall asleep for five years, but I can sleep well next to the little girl."

Li Shang couldn’t figure it out for a moment, and he was too lazy to think about it anymore. As time went on, he would always find out that something was wrong. As for now... he wanted to sleep some more. He was so sleepy. He hadn’t had a good sleep in a long time.

The day passed quickly.

Chuchu unlocked the door, sneaked into the room, locked it from the inside, trotted to the bed, opened the small bag, took out food from it, and handed it over: "Handsome brother, try it, this is delicious."

Facing the pair of clear and innocent eyes, Li Shang nodded and thanked quietly: "Okay, thank you little girl, but I'll just try it. Don't eat too much. It will be the same as not eating anything."

"Yeah, you have a taste. I'm done. I can help you wash your hair and brush your teeth. Don't look at me as a little kid. I'm very good at brushing my teeth. Do you think they're white?"

Li Shang couldn't help but smile: "Very white, the little girl is really amazing."

Chuchu tilted his neck up with a proud look on his face: "Of course, who am I? Those idiots are not as smart as me. I don't even want to play with them. It's ok for them to be ugly, but they are also so stupid when it comes to learning. They are really disgusting."

"Haha, the little girl is really good at talking."

a moment later

Chuchu sat on the bed, holding a book in her hand, stumbling over and reading: "You don't know this word, so let me tell you a story. I'm a good storyteller. Pretty brother is telling this book."

Li Shang came closer and took a few glances: "Okay, but let's change the book next time. You are too young and this one is very profound. You can't understand it."

"Okay, next time when my uncle is not at home, I will take you to the study. You can pick out the books you like and we can bring them back to read. Oh, and I will dig a hole for you so that it will be convenient to hide you in the future."

"...You are weak, how can you dig it?"

Chuchu grinned and said confidently: "Yes, I have helpers. Xiaocao and Papa will help me dig. Don't worry, I will hide you and won't let others find you, otherwise they will think you are a monster."

Li Shang raised the corners of his mouth, his smile was a little cold: "If I were really a monster, would you still be close to me? Would you set me on fire? Oh, I almost forgot, even if you set me on fire, I won't die."

"No, we are good friends. No matter what you are, I won't burn you. Just like me, they also say I am a monster, but it doesn't matter, I will fight back."

"Ha, you little girl, you are really interesting."

The days passed one by one, and after a long time, Mo Jue realized that something was wrong. After dark, he followed the little girl, and before he got close, he felt a strong sense of oppression.

Time passed in a flash. Mo Jue was a cautious person. Since he had sensed something was wrong, how could he let it go easily? He flew onto the roof, lifted the tiles, looked inside, and saw the little guy standing by the bed, talking about something.

He looked through the gap and didn't find anything wrong, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. He went to the window, opened it, turned in, and met the little girl's surprised eyes.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Chu Chu hurriedly pulled the quilt over to cover the head, turned around, and looked around, obviously feeling guilty...
