Seventy-fourth bowl of soup (3)
After finishing the medicine, Ah Chou applied it on the prince carefully. The prince quietly let her take care of him, but his eyes were particularly obscure.
After applying the medicine carefully, Ah Chou said to the prince, "Your Highness, please be patient. The medicine is extremely painful when applied to your legs, but you must not touch it with your hands."
She was in a hurry to clean the mortar, so she didn't see the prince's expression at all.
Would... sting a man, wouldn't it
But he didn't feel it at all. Apart from the severe pain when he was first injured, he lost all consciousness when he fled afterwards. The prince knew that his legs might be useless. Rao is how to tell himself not to be discouraged, but he also knows that this life is hopeless. He can clearly see the character of Ninth Brother, he can't wait to kill the grass and roots, now that he can't find his whereabouts, it is very likely that his crimes will be announced to the world, and people will be secretly searched and hunted down to kill him, and he will never be left alive .
So, are you going to live in this deep mountain and old forest for the rest of your life? Bearing the charge of patricide forever, watching the enemy get what should belong to him? How could he be willing!
Thinking of this, he slammed his fist hard on the table, which happened to knock the bowl off the table. With a crisp sound, the missing drinking bowl became shattered. A Chou heard the noise outside and ran in quickly, and saw the prince's gloomy face, she approached cautiously, and knelt down: "Your Highness, don't be sad, you will get better..."
"Get better?!" The prince couldn't restrain himself anymore, "How can I get better? Gu's legs are already useless! In the future, it will be difficult to even walk daily, and Gu will become a disabled person!" This is worse than killing him!
"Even if His Highness can't walk, this servant will carry His Highness on his back, and wherever His Highness wants to go, this servant will carry His Highness on his back." Ah Chou kowtowed, "So I beg Your Highness, don't be so sad, you will get better, Slave Guaranteed, everything will be fine."
Her voice had a strange and inspiring power, and the prince felt tired for a while. He couldn't control the feeling of wanting to get angry, and his reason told him that she was innocent, and he couldn't treat his people like this. However, if the grief, anger and despair deep in his heart were not vented, he would have trouble sleeping and eating. "go out."
"Your Highness..."
"go out!"
"… yes."
Ah Chou exited the room respectfully, and then heard whimpers coming from inside, like a beast dying, she clutched the clothes on her chest tightly, feeling that she was also very sad, her eyes were sore and sore, Can't stop crying.
What is she crying for? She has nothing to cry about, His Highness has fallen from the heaven's favored child in the clouds to the mortal world, and now she has to be served by such an ugly rough girl like her. busy. Ah Chou felt that she was too useless, but she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't speak nice words. His Highness probably didn't want to hear her talk at the moment, right
After that, the prince seemed to be a different person, he was no longer as gentle and refined as before, especially as time passed, he would become extremely irritable when his legs were still numb with daily application of medicine.
"Go away! I don't want to see you!"
He called himself lonely when he was angry, but afterwards he felt that he was really ridiculous. What's the point of venting his anger on a girl? But no matter how angry he was, Ah Chou didn't say a word, even if he was pushed into a hurry, he only said that it would be better. The prince sometimes didn't know why he was so angry, did he really want to vent his anger, or did he want to drive Ah Chou away from him? There is no need for her to accompany him to take care of him. Apart from his disabled legs, how is his life different from when he was a prince
He doesn't need to do any work, she will prepare the meals every day, make use of the limited conditions to make food for him, she washes the clothes clean, every day she will boil water for him to bathe, and keep him healthy Clean and refreshing attitude. For fear that he would be bored, she even went to the forest after the thunderstorm, found branches that had been scorched by lightning to make pens, and used the bark as paper. Even when he wakes up every morning, there will be a bouquet of flowers blooming by his bedside.
Not only that, she caught a rabbit from nowhere and gave it to him.
Thinking of this, the prince turned away his face, but he didn't want to apologize for his rudeness. He thought it would be best for her to turn around and leave when she was so angry. It would be better to let him alone to fend for himself.
But Ah Chou said it again in a soft voice: "Your Highness, don't be annoyed, and apply the medicine first, okay?"
"Gu Yi is not enough! When Gu Yi saw your ugly face, he was so sick that he couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. What kind of medicine should I apply? It won't get better if I apply it!"
For the first time, he attacked her for being ugly when he was angry. Ah Chou is also human, and the only person in her life who has shown kindness to her is the prince, but such a good person would say such hurtful words. But she wasn't angry, she wouldn't be angry, how could the kindness of that moment be dispelled by a few harsh words? What's more, she knows the pain in his heart, he should be the most honorable person in this world, but now he can only live such a miserable life in this deep mountain, not to mention the infamy in the world.
"Your servant is ugly. Is it your servant's fault? Don't be upset, apply the medicine first, and then your servant will never let His Highness see such an ugly servant again."
After hearing this, the crown prince felt numb for a while, feeling disappointed, but also rejoicing. She was going to leave, and he was mad at him. In the future, she would not have to take care of him like this, nor would she have to work so hard.
He knows everything. She was afraid that eating wild vegetables every day would be bad for her health, so she learned to hunt, but she was so petite, and she could only catch some rabbits and pheasants with all her strength, and she often got bruised all over her body, her hands were rough and chapped, and he was plump. Quite a lot, but she lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. That's the best way, let her go quickly, and find a good job wherever she can't find, it's easier than taking care of him.
So he kept silent and stopped talking, watched her apply the medicine for him as usual, then picked up the water basin and walked out with the stone mortar. When the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard, the prince took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and concealed the turmoil in his heart.
But the next moment he opened his eyes wide: "Why are you in again!"
He was a little stunned, for no other reason, Ah Chou had a cloth on his face, and she said to him almost naively: "In this way, His Highness will not be able to see the face of this servant, and this servant has just picked some wild fruits, Your Highness tasted it." Bar."
After this fight, the prince never saw Ah Chou's face clearly again. As long as he opened his eyes, she would cover her face, still not talking much, and still taking care of him without complaint. He knew that he couldn't drive her away, and how could he say those hurtful things once, so he could only say them a second time, so he had no choice but to treat her coldly and not talk to her, but he always wanted her to take the cloth off, but And always unable to speak out.
So stupid, he has never seen such a stupid person in his life. Being cold, violent, sarcastic, and no matter how stabbed he was, he persisted in staying by his side. The prince believed that even if he wanted her to die, she would not say a word, let alone beg for mercy.
Even if he is a useless person now, he is still the omnipotent and gentle prince in her heart.
The two of them lived quietly for a while, and the crown prince's beard grew out, so Ah Chou shaved it off for him. She always wanted to make His Highness's life better within her own power, so she would use it in the mountains The beautiful and clear stones he found were ground into hairpins for his hair. Over time, the prince felt that living like this for a lifetime was good.
Until one day, the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily. When she came back from the outside, her clothes were all wet. It was almost winter, and it was terribly cold. Dig up baskets of wild herbs.
The prince was sitting anxiously on the bed and staring at the door, when he saw her coming back, he quickly sat upright and pretended to be writing in a serious manner. Ah Chou was covered with water vapor and dared not enter the door for fear of passing on the prince, and was about to turn around to go to the kitchen, but the prince called her: "I'm thirsty, pour me tea."
Ever since he called her ugly, he never called himself lonely in front of her again.
Ah Chou put the basket under the eaves, wrung out the water on his body, took off his shoes, and went into the house with bare feet to pour tea for him. The tea was picked by her on the mountain and fried with dried flowers. Yes, the taste is very good.
The crown prince took the tea, still staring at her, A Chou understood: "My servant came back late today, Your Highness forgive me, and I will make food for His Highness right away."
He doesn't want to eat, he wants to... "You have so much water on your body, I feel sticky even sitting, talk to me after changing your clothes."
In fact, he originally wanted to say that Wet Da Da was ugly, but he changed his words for some reason when the words came to his lips.
Ah Chou has always treated his words like a god, "Yes, I will change it now, slave."
This wooden house is not big, there is only one bed, and Ah Chou usually sleeps on the ground, but now it is cold, what if he sleeps on the ground if he gets sick? The prince sat on the bed and drank tea. The space was too small, and Ah Chou waited on him when changing clothes. He was a gentleman, so naturally he would not peek at her. But for some reason, when she was changing clothes, she suddenly exclaimed. The prince felt anxious, turned his head quickly, and turned back quickly, his heart was beating like a drum, up and down.
She is thin and small, but there is an incomparably powerful force in her body. The prince only saw her sideways just now, probably because her clothes were wet and her feet were slippery, because he saw her helping the table. but…
Hidden under the coarse cloth clothes are white dazzling skin, slender waist and full breasts. The prince is holding the tea, he has never been close to a woman, and he has never thought about it in the past six months, but the glimpse just now made him flustered.
Ah Chou changed her clothes and covered her face with a dry cloth. At this moment, there seemed to be some noise outside, and she immediately became alert.
