"Are you feeling better?"
Alice nodded: "Yeah."
"I told you, this world is not as beautiful as you thought." Bingzhixie said.
"I know what you want to say." Alice lowered her head and said, "You want me to go back again, don't you? I won't go back, never! You promised me that you would take me away, and I'm fed up with being in a cage.
life. Do you think that I am a little girl and if I suffer, I will be homesick and want to go back? I tell you, you are wrong. My determination to come out is a hundred times stronger than you think.
Times, ten thousand times.”
Bing Zhixie indeed thought so. He thought that such a noble princess who had never suffered any hardship would definitely be scared once she was tortured, and would definitely want to go back to a safe embrace. Unexpectedly, after experiencing the life and death just now,
Even then, she was still so persistent.
Alice said: "Just because I am a girl? Just because my father, mother and queen pamper me and love me, so they treat me like a flower in the greenhouse. I don't want to make a flower for others to see, I also want to imagine
Like my brothers, I can pick up swords, control magical beasts, be the first to be brave, and kill enemies. Why? Just because I am the only princess, they love me and don't want me to be harmed? Don't you know,
Don’t you know that their love has already hurt me, and they have made me lose my freedom?”
Alice added: "You know, others think I'm a carefree little bird, but I'm locked in a cell and I'm not allowed to go here or there. I don't know why they love me so much.
It makes me unhappy. In fact, I rarely even go out of the palace. Every time I go out, there are many guards following me. I can only let Vivian secretly take me out to play for a while. But if I go back late,
They will find out and bring people around to look for me. But this is not fair. Why can my brother go out and wander around, but I have to stay in the house and let the maids accompany me to play with swords every day. I also want to be like others.
, I can do whatever I want, I want to do what makes me happy, I want to do what I want to do, do you understand?"
Bing Zhixie discovered that she and he were people who had suffered the opposite pain, but one of the two pains was isolated under indifference, and the other was buried by forced laughter.
Everyone has their own beautiful side and their own painful side.
"So you must keep going?" Bing Zhixie asked.
Alice said: "Don't underestimate my determination, I am very firm in my decision."
Bing Zhixie nodded and said, "Okay. Do you still remember our agreement?"
Alice nodded: "I won't drag you down, and I won't become a burden to you. I'm sorry for what happened just now..."
"What just happened has passed. The reason why I helped you was because I thought you would leave." Bingzhixie said coldly: "But it's different now. From now on, you and I are two people, not us. You want
Follow me, that's fine, you have to rely on your own hands, if you die, don't blame me."
"oh."
Bingzhi smiled evilly: "It seems that I really don't know what this means. Now you can treat your own injuries by yourself. Find a livelier town tomorrow and you can think of a solution there."
"Okay, okay." Alice nodded repeatedly and pressed her belly gently. The effect of the anesthesia was gradually disappearing.
At noon the next day, they found a small town. It was not very big, but it was very lively. Lively places are good, and the more people there are, the safer they are.
"Ahem..." Alice kept coughing all the way. The pain last night made her unable to sleep well all night. Now she looked depressed, bending slightly and looking left and right, but she was still very happy.
Standing on the busy street, Bing Zhixie also looked around and said: "Find a... find a big hotel to rest."
"Big, big hotel?"
"Well, the bigger the place and the more people there are, the less attention it will attract. But..." Bing Zhixie took out a few gold coins and a dozen silver coins from his pocket: "It's barely enough to stay for one night, but you have to eat.
Things, if you want to change clothes..."
"I, I still have..." Alice touched herself, but found nothing. Then she remembered that when she escaped, all the jewelery and jewelry were unloaded in the room.
Bing Zhixie smiled coldly: "Very good, you can sleep on the street tonight."
Alice lowered her head in grievance and stopped talking.
Bing Zhixie's face was gray and his clothes were dirty. He wouldn't attract too much attention like this. Welcoming travelers like this is something that happens in every small town. With a gray face, which servant
Bing was not like this, so he easily entered a large hotel.
This small town is a very exquisite city. It has just rained, and the ground is still wet. The streets are bluestone. After taking a bath, Bing Zhixie put on old clothes bought with dozens of silver coins and sat in front of the glass window sill to watch.
outside the street.
Alice was still standing downstairs in the hotel. She looked up at the windows of the hotel and knew that Bing Zhixie was in one of them, so she lowered her head. Just now Bing Zhixie told her that if she could
After getting the money for the meal, he let her go into the house to rest, and gave her a good idea to sell the centaur Ihuson.
It started to rain lightly outside the window again. Although the rain in autumn was not heavy, it was very cold, even colder than winter. Bing Zhixie looked at Alice downstairs with a blank expression, holding her stomach and walking away step by step.
Walking in the alley of the Minfang House, stepping up the stone stairs step by step, drops of water fell drop by drop on the tip of Alice's chin. She didn't know whether it was tears or rain. The rain soaked her clothes, and the cool breeze
Once it passed, the cold made her shiver several times, her chest was choked up, and finally she couldn't help crying. Now that she was injured, the pain was so painful that she was almost numb, cold and hungry
I was still very sleepy, my mind was so dizzy, I felt like I was going to die.
"Looking for something to eat, looking for something to eat..." Alice choked with sobs and dragged her staggering steps through the small slope of the aisle to the street above. Alice looked left and right and continued walking, dying.
As I was walking, I saw the buttery white bread in the window of the bakery. I gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva as I smelled the aroma, and thought to myself: "I need change to buy food, where can I find it?"
Because it was raining, there were fewer and fewer people on the street. Alice was coughing and wandering around, when a daredevil rushed out of nowhere and knocked her to the ground. She looked up,
The man had disappeared without a trace. Alice looked around, got up from the ground, and suddenly found a child huddled in the corner. There were two large bowls in front of her, with several silver coins in the bowls.
.
The little beggar also saw the destitute Alice: "Hey girl, it seems you are not very lucky either."
Alice hesitated for a while, pointed to the empty bowl next to her and said, "Can you lend me one?"
The little beggar said: "Borrow? You mean rent? One silver coin. I guarantee you, it's definitely worth it. The boy who bumped into you just now will have twenty silver coins in one morning."
Alice touched her pocket: "I...I don't have any money."
"No money? That's not possible." The little beggar looked at Alice and smiled: "Beautiful girl, if you can kiss me, I can lend you this bowl and give you five silver coins.
"
"No!" Alice ran away a few steps and went somewhere else.
The little beggar scratched his dirty hair, picked up a silver coin in the bowl, tossed it up, and threw it into the bowl again.
Only then did Alice realize how helpless she was, not knowing how to make money. When she was in the palace, all the work was done for her. What kind of things had she done and what survival skills had she learned?
, we can’t really sell the seriously injured Ishuson.
After walking in a daze for more than half an hour, Alice felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier, and her stomach ached so much that she almost couldn't feel it anymore. When passing a coffee shop, her foot slipped and she fell on a person coming out of the coffee shop.
On a luxurious woman.
The luxurious woman screamed in surprise. Seeing that her beautiful clothes were dirty, she kicked Alice who fell down hard and said: "The stinky beggar brought me here, you can afford to pay for staining my clothes."
?"
Alice was kicked so hard that she hugged the woman's feet and said, "Sister, can you give me some money?"
A gentleman-like man next to the woman kicked her away hard: "Go to hell! You soiled my friend's clothes and you still want money. Have you ever asked for food?" Take it out!
The tissue wiped his girlfriend's face.
"What bad luck." The woman opened the man's hand and said, "Stop wiping it and buy me a new one."
"Three thousand...ah." The man said distressedly: "Can I wash it off?"
The woman glared at him, pushed him away and left.
The man quickly caught up: "I buy it, I buy it..."
Alice coughed a few more times, finally stabilizing her injuries, and coughed up blood again. She tried her best to push herself up, but her vision went dark and she fainted in a pool of water on the street.
…
In a coma, Alice felt herself being dragged away. She tried to open her eyes and found that she was being dragged on the ground by her hair by three young men. She screamed: "What are you doing? Let me go, let go..."
"Are you awake?" A bad young man slapped Alice in the face: "If you call me again, you will be speechless for the rest of your life." He dragged her up and covered her mouth.
Leave her speechless.
Alice was terrified, but her body was extremely weak and she had no strength to fight.
Three people dragged Alice to a dark corner and pressed her against the wall. Two people touched her: "Damn it, not even a silver coin."
A sharp-eyed person looked at the material of Alice's clothes: "Although they are dirty and torn, they are very good clothes. If you wash them, you should be able to sell them for a few bucks. Take off her clothes."
The other two people started working together and took off her coat.
