Dress up as a male protagonist to raise a villain

Didn't it mean that Gong Xiaoxiao, as the only eldest lady of the Gong family, was raised and spoiled since she was a child?Anyway, as a well-known local family, the Gong family also has a large number of servants, and a famous chef is in charge. It stands to reason that she should have never done such rough work, how can she still grill fish?

Holding the fish in one hand, Xiao Ling took out a dagger out of nowhere with the other, and said with a proud smile: "Of course, I have done this kind of thing countless times since I was a child. Master, wait here for a while, and it will be over soon." good."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ling walked to the lake and began to clean up the fish in his hand. After everything was ready, he walked back and skillfully set up a fire, skewered the fish in his hand and put them on the fire. He kept turning the branch in his hand, letting it roast slowly.

Gu Chen sat on the side and asked inadvertently, "You seem to be very skilled in these things?"

While grilling the fish, Xiao Ling said with great interest, "Well, I used to do this kind of thing a lot. When I was young, I couldn't find anything to eat, so I went to the lake to catch fish. I thought it would taste bad, but I didn't expect to eat it." It’s not bad to go down, and when I’m hungry, I’ll go to the lake to catch fish to eat. That’s how I got my craft.”

Gu Chen: "Can't find anything to eat? Hungry? Why, won't your parents give you something to eat?"

Xiao Ling was beaming and telling Gu Chen what he did when he was a child, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, it's too bad, he was too involved in what he said just now, and he forgot that he is now the eldest daughter of the Gong family who was pampered and raised. In terms of identity, he grew up struggling and struggling, so he did these things.But how could Gong Xiaoxiao, as a famous lady who was loved by thousands of people, do such menial tasks?

Gu Chen turned around and stared at Xiao Ling, and asked, "Huh? What's the matter? Is it convenient to say?"

When Xiao Ling heard Gu Chen's question, his heart became cold and his palms were sweaty. When he saw Gu Chen's subtle expression, his heart trembled. He quickly calmed down and said, "This, actually There is nothing inconvenient to say. It’s just because I was naughty and naughty when I was young, and I did a lot of wrong things. My parents had no choice but to punish me. After I did something wrong, they punished me and didn’t allow me to eat. I hope this way can make me correct I was still young at the time, and I was quite self-willed. After being hungry by my parents, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I ran to the lake to catch fish to eat while the servants at home were not paying attention. Since that time, I often avoid Others secretly go to the lake to catch fish, and if they catch fish, they can only roast and eat it by themselves, and I will become more and more proficient after going back and forth."

After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Gu Chen neither believed nor disbelieved, but watched him silent for a while, Xiao Ling became more and more uncertain, and almost thought that Gu Chen had doubted his identity.Just thinking about what method should be used to dispel Gu Chen's suspicion, unexpectedly after a while, Gu Chen suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I almost thought you were raised at home just now. You had to go out to find food by yourself because of all the abuse. It turned out that your parents punished you not to eat. However, since you did something wrong, you should be punished."

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately continued: "Master's lesson is that the disciple must pay attention in the future, and will never do wrong things again. If the disciple does something that should not be done, the master will punish me."

Gu Chen said happily: "Okay, it's very rare for you to have this kind of awareness. Since that's the case, I won't say anything more."

Xiao Ling nodded obediently, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. It seems that this time he was fooled, but he must be more careful in speaking and doing things in front of Gu Chen in the future, and he must not forget his current identity, otherwise he will not be careful. If you show your feet, you may not be able to get around next time.Gu Chen is not a fool, how could he be fooled again and again?

As long as he thought of Gu Chen's possible reaction after the incident was revealed, Xiao Ling's scalp would go numb for a while.All the things he did before must be kept secret, and Gu Chen must not be allowed to know.If Gu Chen knew that he had tried to destroy his chance many times, put him in danger countless times, and even found someone to assassinate him, Gu Chen's first reaction would definitely be to kill him with a sword!

Xiao Ling glanced at Gu Chen cautiously, afraid that Gu Chen would think of something wrong again, he immediately turned his eyes away, picked up the fish in his hand, and handed it to Gu Chen with a flattering expression, "Master, the fish has been roasted, You try it."

As soon as the hot grilled fish was taken out, the aroma of the food filled the nostrils. It looked good, but I didn't know how it tasted.But since the little apprentice is so confident, it should be pretty good.After Gu Chen made enough mental preparations, he took a skewer of grilled fish, tore it off and tasted it.

As soon as the fresh and soft fish was eaten, Gu Chen's originally calm expression changed instantly.

Xiao Ling's heartbeat accelerated for a moment, and when Gu Chen swallowed the fish, he immediately asked eagerly: "Master, how is it?" Could it be because he hasn't roasted for a long time, and now that his hands are raw, the roasted ones are just Isn't it delicious?If the master really finds it unpalatable, wouldn't he be self-defeating this time?

Xiao Ling stared at Gu Chen's expression without blinking, regretting secretly in his heart, he knew that he shouldn't have jumped out to grab the grilled fish just now, but now he not only aroused Gu Chen's suspicion, but also left Gu Chen with a He has the impression that he cooks bad food and likes to talk big, but now his favorability has not increased, but it has deepened Gu Chen's dislike for him. He was simply out of his mind just now.

Just when Xiao Ling was struggling with regret, Gu Chen tore off another piece of fish, chewed it slowly in his mouth, and said thoughtfully: "Well, the taste is really good, it seems that you are good at this aspect You do have some talent. Speaking of which, how long have you practiced to reach your current level?"

Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. As soon as he was happy, he subconsciously wanted to show off in front of Gu Chen, and said in a somewhat complacent tone: "It didn't take long, only two For three years, no one taught me at that time, and I figured it out by myself."

Gu Chen glanced at Xiao Ling, and said with a smile: "Really? Then you are really good. I was worried that you would not get used to spending the night in the mountains, but now it seems that you should be fine. In this case , we spent the night on this mountain today."

In fact, it doesn't make any difference to Xiao Ling whether he spends the night in an inn or in the wild, as long as he can stay by Gu Chen's side, it doesn't matter where he is.So as soon as Gu Chen said something, Xiao Ling didn't take it to heart at all, and responded straight away, "I don't have any objections, I just listen to the master, and I will do what the master tells me to do."

Gu Chen smiled, picked up another skewer of grilled fish from the fire, and handed it to Xiao Ling, "It's getting dark, don't worry about it, eat it while it's hot, and we'll go back after eating."

Xiao Ling obediently took the grilled fish and ate it. Just after eating one, Gu Chen handed over another one.The timing was just right, neither too early nor too late, as expected, the master had been watching him, and the master would have noticed whenever he made a move.Holding the grilled fish that Gu Chen handed over one by one in his hand, Xiao Ling was extremely satisfied.

Soon, the master and apprentice ate a dozen skewers of grilled fish together.

Soon the sky darkened, Gu Chen packed up a bunch of things on the ground, and took Xiao Ling back to the cave he found earlier.

After pulling away the vines, the dark interior of the cave was the same as when they left before. It seemed that it was still safe here, and no other creatures had entered after they left.

Gu Chen went out to collect some haystacks and spread them in a corner of the cave. After everything was arranged, he beckoned Xiao Ling to come over, "You will sleep here today, don't worry, the teacher will keep watch for you."

Xiao Ling tilted his head, and said puzzledly: "Master isn't sleeping?" Isn't there that sword spirit for the night watch?Let her be in charge of the night watch.She is so energetic that she doesn't need to sleep at all, just find something for her to do, so that she won't be against herself all day long.

Gu Chen: "No, you should go to sleep first, it's okay if you don't sleep as a teacher, it's just time to meditate and practice."

Xiao Ling frowned, pulled Gu Chen's clothes and acted softly, "Then master, lie down and sleep with me for a while, it's too dark here, I'm afraid of falling asleep alone, master stay with me for a while, Wait until I fall asleep, Master, and then get up to watch the night, okay?"

Gu Chen hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't stand the little apprentice's soft and hard feelings, and lay down next to the little apprentice with all his clothes on.The body of children is the most prone to sleepiness. The little apprentice has been running with him for a day, and he should be tired by now.Follow him to let him fall asleep first, now that Huan is noisy, he will fall asleep after a while.

Gu Chen thought so, but within an hour he was slapped in the face.After such a long time, the little apprentice is still full of energy and doesn't seem to be sleepy at all.

Gu Chen sighed, covered the little apprentice's shining eyes with his hands, and asked helplessly, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Xiao Ling blinked his eyes, and said innocently: "I want to sleep too, but I can't. I don't know why, but I just don't feel sleepy at all. Otherwise, Master, please tell me a story."

If you don't sleep well at night to nourish your spirits, what stories to tell.Gu Chen supported his forehead and sighed, and asked helplessly, "Are you going to sleep after listening?"

Xiao Ling nodded without hesitation, and raised his hands to promise, "I'll go to sleep after listening!"

Gu Chen helplessly pulled down his hand, thought for a while, and said: "Once upon a time, there was a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for an exam. He studied hard for decades in order to gain fame. One night, he was late on his way. I can't find a house within ten miles, so I can only sleep in the wilderness..."
