Chapter 148 The Passion of Alice
“Is it better?”
Alice nodded: “Yes.”
“I told you, this world is not like You have such wonderful thoughts." Bing Zhixie 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, I've had enough of living in a cage. Do you think that if I am a little girl, I will feel homesick and want to go back if I suffer? I tell you, you are wrong. I am more determined to come out than you think. The one in the middle is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger.”
Bing Zhixie indeed thought so. He thought that such a distinguished princess who had never suffered any hardship would definitely be scared once she was tortured, and she would definitely want to go back and return to the embrace of safety. I didn't expect that after experiencing the life and death situation just now, she would still be so persistent.
Alice said: "Just because I am a girl? Just because my father and mother dote on me and love me, so they treat me like a flower in the greenhouse. I don't want to be a flower for Others see me as someone who can pick up swords, control monsters, be the first to fight, and kill enemies. Why? Just because I am the only princess. They just love me and don’t want me to be hurt. Don’t you know that their love has already hurt me and made me lose my freedom?”
Alice said again: “You. You know, others think I am a carefree little bird, but I am not allowed to go here or there in a cell. I don’t know why they love me so much. , Love 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. If it's too late, they will find out and bring people everywhere to look for me. But it's not fair. Why can my brother go out and wander around, but I have to stay in the house. , let those maids play with me every day, I also want to 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. Remember our agreement. "
Alice nodded: "I won't drag you down, I won't be a burden to you. I'm sorry for what happened just now... "
"What happened just now is over. The reason why I helped you was because I thought you would leave." Bing Zhixie said coldly: "But it's different now. From now on, you and I are two people." Individuals, not us. If you want to follow me, 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 yourself. Find a livelier town tomorrow, and you can also be there. Find a way."
"Okay, okay." Alice nodded repeatedly, pressing her belly gently as the anesthesia effect gradually wore off.
At noon the next day, they found a small town. It was not very big, but it was very lively. Busy places are good, and places with more people tend to be safer.
"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 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?"
< br>"Well, the bigger the place and the more people there are, the less likely it will attract others' attention. But..." Bing Zhixie said from his mouth He took out a few gold coins and a dozen silver coins from his bag: "It's barely enough to stay for one night, but if you need to eat and change clothes..."
"I, I still have..." Alice He touched himself and found nothing. Then he remembered that when he 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 is gray and his clothes are dirty. He doesn’t attract much attention like this. Every small town has its merits in welcoming travelers like this. The mercenary was in a state of disgrace, so he easily entered a large hotel.
This small town is a very delicate city. It has just rained, the ground is still wet, and the streets are bluestone. After taking a shower, Bing Zhixie put on old clothes bought with dozens of silver coins and sat in front of the glass window sill looking out at 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 again. Just now Bing Zhixie told her that if she could get money for food, he would let her go into the house to rest, and gave her a good idea to sell the centaur Ixiu Sen.
It started to rain lightly outside the window again. Although the rain in autumn is not heavy, it is very cold, even colder than winter. Bing Zhixie watched expressionlessly as Alice downstairs moved away step by step, clutching her stomach.
Walking in the alley of the Minfang House, stepping up the stone stairs step by step, water droplets fell from the tip of Alice's chin. She didn't know whether it was tears or rain. The rain soaked her clothes, and when the cool breeze passed by, she shivered several times, her chest became choked, and finally she couldn't help crying. Now she was suffering from injuries, the pain was so painful that she was almost numb, she was cold, hungry and very sleepy, and her mind was so dizzy that she felt like she was going to die.
"Looking for food, looking for food..." Alice choked with sobs, dragging her staggering steps through the small slope of the aisle to a street above. Alice looked left and right and continued walking. As she walked, she saw the buttery white bread in the window of the bakery. She smelled the fragrance and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. She thought to herself: "If you need change to buy food, come on." Where can I find it?”
Because it’s raining, there are fewer and fewer people on the street. Alice was coughing and walking around wildly. A daredevil rushed out of nowhere and knocked her to the ground. She looked up and saw that 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 a few silver coins in the bowls.
The little beggar also saw the down-and-out Alice: "Hey girl, it seems you are not very lucky either."
Alice hesitated for a while and pointed to the one next to her. The empty bowl said: "Can you lend me one?"
The little beggar said: "Borrow? You mean rent? One silver coin. I assure you, it is 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 have no 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 for 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 feel how helpless she was, not knowing how to make money. When she was in the palace, all the work was done for her. She had done nothing and learned any survival skills. She couldn't really sell the seriously injured Ishuson.
After walking in a hazy state for more than half an hour, Alice felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier, and her stomach ached so much that she could hardly feel it anymore. When passing a coffee shop, he slipped and fell on a luxurious woman who came out of the coffee shop.
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 dirty. Can you afford to pay for the clothes?”
Alice was kicked hard and hugged the woman. His feet said: "Sister, can you give me some money?"
A gentleman-like man next to the woman kicked her far away: "Get out of here and get dirty." You took my friend's clothes and you still want money, have you ever asked for food?" He took out a tissue and wiped it with his girlfriend.
"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 you wash it?"
The woman glared at him, pushed him away and left.
The man hurriedly caught up: "I buy, I buy..."
Alice coughed a few more times, finally stabilizing her injury, and coughed up blood again. She tried her best He pushed himself up to get up, but his vision went dark and he fainted in the water on the street.
...
In the 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 exclaimed: "What are you doing? Let go?" Let me 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 to silence her.
Alice was frightened, but her body was extremely weak and she had no strength to struggle. 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."
< br>
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 took off her coat together.
"Uh...uh..." Alice's mouth was covered and she couldn't make a sound. She could only open her big eyes and cry non-stop.
Seeing the fair skin inside, a delinquent young man sighed: "Wow! Boss, this girl is very fair. Look at how tender her flesh is! Should we..."
The leader licked his dry lips, looked around, and saw that no one was around. He winked at the two brothers and motioned to join them.
Alice was so frightened that she waved her hands around and grabbed them, but she was quickly held down by them again. She became excited and vomited another mouthful of blood.
The three of them were about to take action when the leader suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
The two younger brothers were stunned and asked: "What's wrong, boss?"
The leader looked at himself and held on to love Liz's hand overflowed with blood between her fingers, and she said: "I'm afraid this woman is going to die. Let's not get involved in a murder case. Let's take the clothes and leave."
The two younger brothers didn't want to offend her. To get into trouble, he took the maid's robe and ran away.
Seeing them leaving, Alice huddled in the corner and cried: "Mother...Father...they bully me..., they bully your Alice..." She wiped the blood around her mouth, and her nose Her eyes started to flow again: "...What...what should I do? Alice really wants to go back!...Vivian...Vivian, where are you?..."
Bingzhixie is here Looking at her from a distance, it's time for her to go back.
After crying for a long time, Alice suddenly stood up against the wall, wiped away her tears and said: "Okay Alice, you have complained to your father, queen and mother, and they will protect you. Listen. "Look, Alice won't go back, I won't go back, I don't want to go back!" After saying that, she hugged herself and walked away shivering in the rain.
Bing Zhixie sighed softly, this girl was stronger than he thought.
"Alice, Alice, you will definitely be able to survive. Others can, so can he, why can't you?" Alice walked on the street in a flash: "Now you are no longer naughty. Little princess, don’t be that princess, you should be Alice, be yourself. What is being yourself, that is doing what you want to do, understand?" She kept comforting herself while thinking about how to earn it. Money buys food. But after thinking about it over and over again, she felt more and more uncomfortable. She found that there seemed to be no other way to make money except begging.
The rain has not stopped yet. Although the autumn rain is light, it will not stop for a while.
Alice returned to the beggar’s corner again
Seeing that she was only wearing a bra, the little beggar’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile: “I knew you would come back. It must have been a lot of pain.”
“Is it worth five silver coins for a kiss?” Alice looked at him expressionlessly.
“Four.” The little beggar stretched out his four fingers and said, “If you want it, do it now, and there will be three in a little while.”
"Okay." Alice leaned towards him, pursed her lips, closed her eyes and kissed the dirty beggar's face. Suddenly her shoulders tensed, but someone else pulled her away.
The little beggar was just happy. When he saw someone ruining his good deeds, he immediately became angry: "What are you doing?"
"Taking advantage of the situation is not what men do." A very big guy Shaking the big sword in his hand, the beggar was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. "Miss, are you okay?" The big man put the clothes on Alice: "Be careful, don't catch a cold."
"Thank...Thank you." Alice looked at him gratefully, feeling in her heart Feeling warm.
"You seem to be injured?" The big man helped her walk and said: "Why don't you go to my house, it will be warmer, and there is medicine that can heal the injury."
...
The big guy’s home is indeed a warm place, with a warm room and a burning fireplace. A cup of hot tea immediately dispelled the chill in Alice’s body and the chill in her heart.
The mistress of the house asked Alice to take a hot bath and change her into clean clothes. This moved her very much and she thought that there were still many good people in this world.
"Come on, here are the medicines for both external and internal use." A young woman came over with ointment and liquid, applied medicine to the wounds on her face, and used magic to heal her. treat.
Alice herself is also a water magician. Under the dual effects, her injuries were naturally better. She said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, you are so kind. I really don't know what to say. What should I say?" How can I repay you? Thank you.”
"Don't be so polite. Everyone is in trouble." The woman smiled and said, "Waiting for you to recover from your injuries is the best reward for us. You must be very hungry. I cooked carrot and beef soup and will give it to you later. Bring it over."
"Yeah." Alice swallowed, smelling the aroma of beef, and her stomach growled.
The woman walked into the side room, glanced at Alice, smiled and waved to her before closing the door.
The big man smiled and said: "How about it, the goods I brought this time are pretty good."
"Well, not bad."
"What do you mean it's okay? Which of the girls you raised is so beautiful?" The big man held out five fingers and said: "I won't waste words on you, this is the number. If you find it expensive, I will sell it to someone else."< br>
“Hey, don’t, don’t, don’t.” The woman sighed and took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to him: "Guess I lost money this time."
The big man weighed the bag and said: "You lost money? This guy is still so young. It won't be a problem for you to raise her for twenty years. Don't talk about it. Five hundred gold coins, you can still make back five thousand gold coins."
"Humph." The woman said, "I haven't been tested yet, but I don't know if she is a virgin. For the sake of our friendship, I won’t care about you anymore. , remember to send it to me next time if you have good goods."
"Don't worry." The big man smiled: "As long as you can afford a good price, I will go to your place next time. ”
"What a beautiful idea." The woman opened the door and came out with the big man, only to find that the girl in the house had disappeared.
Alice ran in panic on the street, looking back from time to time to see if they were following her. She just wanted to help the woman with some housework, but she overheard their conversation. Unexpectedly, that The big guy actually sold her to someone else for sex, and it was in vain that he didn't feel grateful to him. Thinking of the evil people in this world, I couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Ah!" As Alice turned around, she bumped into someone again and fell to the ground. She apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." She looked up but It was a black-haired boy wearing black-rimmed glasses. When Zai Zai saw it, he turned out to be Bing Zhixie with fake makeup. He was so excited that he hugged him and cried bitterly.
Back at the hotel, Bing Zhixie got her some food and put a set of clothes next to her: "Eat."
While eating cakes, Alice She couldn't stop sobbing, she felt uncomfortable, how could she not feel uncomfortable: "Yes... I'm sorry..." She started crying again, crying very sadly, and kept choking: "I didn't... I didn't get the money... ...I...I...did I drag you down?"
"Yes." Bing Zhixie said lightly.
"...I'm sorry...next time...it won't happen next time." Alice's hand holding the fork twitched with her: "I...I'm really useless, I... ...I miss home so much..."
"You want to hide in your mother's arms and let her touch your back and comfort you, right?" Bing Zhixie said.
Alice nodded, tears dripping down on the table: "I won't...I won't go back, don't try to drive me away, I...I...I will never give you anything again You are causing trouble, really... really..."
Bing Zhixie did not answer her words, but just said: "Eat, if you are hungry, just finish the food."
