He thought he would drown, but after feeling the pain of his lungs entering the water, he struggled to wake up, his hands and feet kept sliding in the water, and when his head finally emerged from the water, the moon Still in the air, he only seemed to pass out for a short time.
He emerged from a clump of reeds, and he could vaguely hear the mad woman's screams and scolding, asking those knights in the middle of the night, the heirs and the rebels to still face off at this moment, in the darkness that seemed to be able to put people at risk. Looking for a frog in the engulfed lake... He is the frog now.
He raised his hand, and what he saw was a pair of frog claws with only four toes, and the feet that were kicking the water felt different, and his vision changed... He became the beast that the crazy woman wanted. .
The woman's rude request finally angered the knights, and they all said that it would be very dangerous to see the crocodile in the dark. Instead, they pressed her back. He is safe for now.
But he didn't dare to rest here, he had to leave!
The lake didn't dare to wait any longer, so he hurried ashore and rushed forward in one direction. As long as you find the temple, the priest of the temple will definitely see that he is cursed! At that time, someone will naturally find a way to unravel this curse for him... He must believe this, otherwise he really doesn't know how to live!
It took him three days to finally leave the forest. During the period, some soldiers led the search, but he avoided them... Besides, it is not necessary to find a frog smaller than a fist in the forest. an easy thing to do. In fact, sometimes he would laugh at himself while looking at the dwindling moon, but luckily it wasn't a leprosy, at least a frog was much prettier than a leper.
Leaving the jungle, he found the road, and he ran along it day after day, hoping to find some towns or some cities. It's not that hard when you're human, but when you're a frog and everything gets bigger, it becomes dangerous.
Sometimes, he will be chased by playful dogs, sometimes his shoes will be thrown after he accidentally croaks a few times, and sometimes he will be chased by people with sticks even just passing by. Not to mention walking on the road, it is very possible to be run over by a carriage or trampled to death by a horse's hoof. He had already had a miserable life in the small town. After leaving the town, he no longer dared to think about it. Go to the city, where the chance of accidental death is much, much higher.
And as a frog, he spurned himself every day, feeling that the whole world had become full of malice. He is hungry but can only eat disgusting flies and mosquitoes, he is thirsty and can only drink in damp and disgusting potholes, he is tired but can only sleep in dirty and damp corners, because without these In wet places, his skin would be so dry it would be so painful that it would crack!
If he had been a frog, his life might have been good, but he was a man, a man! Being imprisoned in such a body, he became more and more irritable and more and more inferior. Every day when he opened his eyes, it was as if his neck was being restrained by an invisible hand... He was obviously breathing air, but he But he felt that the years were drowning and suffocating him step by step.
But even so, he still didn't dare to stay where he was, and kept jumping along the official road that the citizens would walk.
He didn't know what else he could look forward to, maybe he was looking forward to meeting a priest who traveled on the road? However, he is no longer holding the priest and may recognize him as a cursed person... After all, no matter what part he is now, he looks like a frog, what a powerful priest must have the ability to find him what!
Summer is hot.
When he found out that it was summer, he remembered that it was a bright spring when he arrived at the Duke's Mansion... He was imprisoned for more than three months, right? The reason why official roads are official roads is because they have been trampled and crushed by carriages and shoe soles for a long time, and the grass on the ground has no chance to grow, and some are even covered with small stones or slates, so official roads are relatively dry and hot, especially It's hot summer now. Humans may not feel anything, but the frog will feel that he is dying... At least he feels that he is dying now, otherwise he won't start thinking about it, right
He fluttered forward again, he actually fell to the ground, and then he couldn't get up. He was so tired every day, he couldn't eat enough to sleep well, and now he is a very thin frog, lying on the ground near the official road. If the sun is roasting, it will probably turn into a dry frog soon.
He smiled involuntarily, but only let out a weak croak; a dignified prince was turned into a frog and died beside the official road, and no one would come to bury him, so he just died in the wild, and finally Probably eaten by some foxes or small animals like lizards
Closing his eyes with such a smile, he felt in a trance that he was being held in his arms by a pair of soft hands... Did the god of death take him into his arms? So it's time for him to die
Yeah, it's about time...
