Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (2)
Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (2)
"Your Highness..." Ah Chou was stupid and would not comfort others. "Let's run away first, do you have any idea?"
"Whatever you do with me, you will die." The prince said lightly, "Go, it's too late to go now."
A Chou lowered her head and bit her lip. She didn't dare to argue with the prince, and she didn't want to say anything to show her sincerity. She just came to him, carried him on her back, and then moved out step by step. The crown prince was upset by her: "You, what are you doing?!"
"Your Highness must not die." Nor can you lose the will to live. I will always accompany you. In this case, A Chou can't say it. She feels that she is not qualified to say it, but she just thinks that he can't die. One day, he can always get back what belongs to him, but she won't say, I can't express myself, I can only do my best to save him, so that there will be a turning point in the future.
She doesn't know anything, not even a single big character, but that's what she thinks.
How could a seven-footed man, the prince, be carried by a woman, but his legs are numb, and his tendons seem to have been cut off. usefulness. Thinking of this, waves of despair, grief and anger flooded into my heart, and I asked myself to be kind and generous to others in my life. It is better to live like this than to die.
A Chou felt the person on his back trembling: "Put me down."
She shook her head stubbornly: "No."
"I'm alone, let me go!"
A-Chou still shook his head.
"Why, don't you treat Gu as a prince now?!"
He was angry, but was it her? Anyone who is betrayed, framed, and hurt by their true brothers will be so painful, right? Ah Chou can understand, she was so sad when she learned that her parents were going to sell her. "Your Highness."
Her voice was hoarse due to the excessive lack of water. She only remembered to moisten his lips, but she forgot. But the voice was low and soft, but it had an indescribable firmness, "I believe in Your Highness, Your Highness will live well, and it will be all right."
She doesn't say uplifting words, back and forth, but "it's all going to be okay".
The prince was lying on her shoulder, and Ah Chou felt a little wet in his neck. But she didn't look back, didn't speak, just walked forward firmly behind his back.
After a long time, the crown prince said, "...he expected that I didn't leave the city. Now the gate of the city is definitely heavily guarded. It's useless to walk there. You can't get out." Found, still can not escape death.
A Chou's eyes lit up: "No, I can go out, but I just want to wrong your Highness."
Grieved? He is already like this, so why is he wronged or not?
After half a stick of incense, the prince simply wanted to choose death. He watched A Chou hide him in a bucket of sour water, and the bucket smelled very bad. This kind of despicable work was carried out at night, and the soldiers guarding the city would not conduct strict investigations. People stink and get sick. Ah Chou hid himself in, her eyes were amazingly bright in the dark, the ox cart was slow, she hugged her tightly in the bucket, the prince's face was buried tightly in her chest, where it was warm and soft, with a touch of light Simple saponin incense.
The prince is eighteen years old, has not yet married, and has never been so close to a woman.
Sure enough, although the Ninth Prince gave the order, the soldiers just knocked and searched the bucket to confirm that it was filled with sour water, and they didn't even open it - just kidding, who cares about this kind of thing, the lid The cover is so tight and it smells so bad, it's okay to open it. Besides, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is born clean and bright, how could he be here.
I don't know how far the ox cart went until it stopped. Ah Chou heard the uncle who was driving the cart complaining that he shouldn't have eaten too many fruits and melons when he came, which caused diarrhea. She immediately pushed the lid off and climbed out first, but it was difficult. Pulling the prince out, ignoring the stinky smell of dripping and pulling on his body, he hid in the grass behind his back and waited until the uncle drove the ox cart away before he dared to come out.
At a time like this, no one can trust it.
The prince was lying on her back in silence. A Chou looked around and was surprised to find that he recognized this place. When she was a child, her younger brother was sick and feverish, and there was no extra money at home, so her parents asked her to take a basket to climb the mountain to collect medicine. Later, she learned more about the kitchen and learned a lot, so she would just hide in the mountains!
Prince Prince can also feel her sudden energy, although he escaped, but his heart is full of gloomy despair, a **** with a broken leg, how can he be better, and what future can he have?
He will have nothing.
Ah Chou didn't know what the prince was thinking, so she just walked hard into the mountains. In her early years, she still remembered an abandoned wooden house here. I heard that a couple used to live here. The wife had leprosy, and the villagers were afraid The contagion would immerse her in a pig cage, so the husband carried his incapacitated wife to the inaccessible mountains and built this small wooden house.
No one has lived here for many years, and the furniture has long since fallen into dust, but to Ah Chou, this place is simply paradise, and the Ninth Prince will never be able to find it. If she hadn't gotten lost back then, she wouldn't have turned here.
What did you say to let her come to collect the medicine? My parents probably wanted her to die in a mountain full of wild animals. She didn't know them at all, so what about picking them? After she lost her way, she arrived at the wooden house, where the couple had already turned into bones, which shocked her. Later, she buried the couple together, kowtowed a few times before leaving, took some sun-dried herbs when she left, and sold some money when she went back, so that her parents beat her a few times less.
How could the child know anything? She just looked at the pair of bones that died hugging each other. She felt sad and sad, so she dug a hole on the spot to bury it, put a handful of flowers, and wished them a future life Still able to stay together for a hundred years.
She put the prince down first, and then said to him: "His Royal Highness is resting here, I will go and boil some water for His Highness to bathe."
She's been here, so she's no stranger. First, I went to the grave to kowtow, picked a bunch of flowers, and then entered the kitchen.
The wooden house is built near the water, and there is a vegetable garden. It is also very convenient and safe to be surrounded by a fence. The winding paths are all around, it is easy to go out and difficult to come in, and no one will find it in a short time. It's just that the pot has not been used for many years, and it has accumulated a lot of dust. A Chou brushed it for a long time before cleaning it. It's still too cold to wash in the stream now, and His Highness is seriously injured, so be careful.
When she boiled the water, the prince looked at her. The room was very dark, only one lamp was lit. Her body was dirty and smelly. So he let her take off his shoes for himself, but there was no tub or something, he had to wipe himself.
It's not that Ah Chou doesn't want to serve, but that she doesn't dare. She has a humble status and does low-level work. How can she be qualified to serve His Highness? But the prince didn't like the maids to serve him. He basically did it himself on weekdays. When A Chou saw that he was safe, he went out by himself - she also had to wash.
Naturally, the clothes could no longer be worn, so he took out the couple's clothes. While A-Chou was worried that His Highness would be uncomfortable wearing such rough fabrics, he was happy that he could stay by his side.
Is this love? Ah Chou didn't know, she didn't have these two words in her consciousness at all. She just wanted to repay him and give everything for his kindness, even her life.
Like someone from a long, long, long time ago.
The food has long been inedible, the rice has been emptied, and the vegetable field is even more barren, but fortunately there are fish and shrimp in the stream, A Chou caught some by the moonlight, and then quickly handled it in the kitchen. on the table.
The prince ate very little, and Ah Chou was worried, but she ate the rest because she was so hungry.
Who would have thought that a little girl like her could carry the prince for so long and so far, as if she had endless power in her body?
She has also tidied up the bed, and patted the quilt to cover the prince. The prince's legs need to be figured out. Naturally, there will be no doctor in the deep mountains and old forests, but when she was in the mansion before, the chef in the kitchen did not Carefully breaking his leg, Ah Chou was sent to take care of him. She remembered and recognized all the herbs.
There is no shortage of treasures in the mountains. As the old saying goes, the backers eat the mountains.
The night was already deep, and the prince woke up from a nightmare, only to find the room full of dim light. He subconsciously looked towards the light, and saw A Chou sitting at the table, worried about the pile of herbs on the table, with a small stone mortar and a round stick by his hand.
Although she remembers it, she remembers it all by heart. Her brain is not very bright, and she can be wise occasionally, but most of the time, she is still stupid. Therefore, although the herbal medicine was found, he could not remember how many he had counted, and how to distribute and mash it according to the proportion.
The prince coughed lightly, only to realize that the whole room was completely different from before he went to bed. Not only was it clean and tidy, but it also exuded the fragrance of flowers and plants. When I turned my head, I found a handful of flowers beside the pillow. That's how the fragrance came from.
A Chou was also very happy to see him awake. She poured a bowl of water first and accepted it respectfully. There are no delicate blue and white porcelain tea bowls here, and even the drinking bowl is missing a corner. She felt that His Highness had suffered a great grievance. , It's a pity that I'm useless, it's really sad. "Your Highness, you are awake."
The prince took the water bowl and took two sips: "What are you doing?"
"This is the herb that the slaves just found. It can cure the legs." She said seriously. "But the slave's brain is not very bright, and when I count the weight, I always count this and forget that..."
The prince felt inexplicably smiling, "Tell me, I'll count."
"How can this be..."
"Why not?" The prince smiled at her, "Isn't it all for me?"
