Although I was exhausted and exhausted, it was too close to the princess's mansion for me to go ashore at once, and I swam forward for a while before I climbed ashore from the water. I dragged my wet body to the shore exhausted, and as soon as I stood on the shore, I only felt that my hands and feet were weak, and I stumbled and fell to the ground. A cold wind blew, I shivered from the cold, my whole body trembled, and I hugged myself tightly with shaking arms, but I was still too cold to stand. Although it is cold in the water, after staying in the water for a long time, you don't feel cold, and if you swim, you can't feel cold. Once I came out, I really realized what it was like to be frozen. Although the body is unbearable cold, the heart is indeed bright and hot. I'm finally out, I'm finally free, and I swear I'll never go back to that princess's mansion again in my life.

I shook my body and looked around, it was pitch black, only a few stars in the sky winking at me and lanterns in front of a few houses in the distance swaying in the wind. There was not even half a figure on the street, only the intermittent wind in the empty street of sad complaints. But instead of feeling fear, I couldn't tell how excited I was.

I twisted the water on my clothes so that they didn't get so wet, but the cold wind blew and it got even colder. What should I do, I'll freeze to death if I continue like this. With that, it won't be cold when you run. Tired and exhausted, I gritted my teeth and stood up, and I looked around to see a place where the red lanterns were hung, and ran towards the bright and hopeful pair of red lanterns in the darkness. After running for a while, it was not so cold, and soon I ran under the pair of lanterns, and when I looked up, I saw that behind the lanterns was a large gate, and on the gate was written Yuanfu Inn.

Without hesitation, I knocked on the door.

"It's coming!" A sleepy-eyed shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and opened the door, and immediately woke up when he saw my appearance. Ignoring the surprise in his eyes, I asked, "Do you have any spare rooms at the inn?" ”

"Yes! Yes! The shopkeeper nodded, with a curious look in his eyes, "Guest officer, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Oh, I accidentally fell into the river."

"Ahh The shopkeeper opened his mouth and asked with concern, "Then how did you come up?" ”

"I know how to water!" I was afraid that I would ask again endlessly, so I said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, open me a room and prepare the bath water!" ”

I glanced at the shopkeeper in front of me, fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, and a little thin. The shopkeeper didn't move when he heard my words, but looked me up and down several times, looking down on people.

I was a little annoyed by what he looked at, "Look at what to see, and then watch me gouge out your eyes." Hurry up and take me to the room. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't be angry. The guest officer ran out late at night, and he was soaked again, I don't know if the guest officer went out with him......"

I heard what he meant, he was afraid that I had no money, not because I had bad intentions, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I took out two taels of silver from my money bag, raised it in front of him, and said, "Is this enough?" ”

The shopkeeper immediately snatched it with a smile, "Enough, enough, please come inside." ”

The shopkeeper took an oil lamp from a table next to him and led the way in front, and I followed him. Finally he led me to the door of a guest room, opened the door, made a gesture of invitation, and said to me, "Guest, please come in!" I snorted coldly and followed him inside.

The shopkeeper lit the oil lamp in the room and said to me, "If the guest officer has no orders, I will retreat." ”

I stopped him, "Wait! ”

"What do you command?"

"Get me ready for bath water. Also, can you sell me a set of your clothes? "I'm soaking wet right now, and I'm going to get sick if I sleep like this.

He was taken aback, "You want to buy my clothes?" ”

"Yes, do you think I'm like this now, I can't change my clothes? I'd like you to go to the street and buy one for me, but no store will be open at this time, right? ”

"My clothes are all shabby. Are you sure you want to buy it? ”

I took out a tael of broken silver from my money bag, and looked at it with some reluctance in my heart, although it was not my own silver, it was still reluctant to spend. I hesitated for a moment before throwing the silver to the shopkeeper, "You go and ask your companion if there are any new clothes that you haven't wore." It doesn't matter the fabric, the color, the good or the bad, as long as it is not worn. and the money for the purchase of clothes. ”

The shopkeeper took the silver and smiled all over his face, "What a coincidence that you came, a few days ago, I happened to make a new dress, and I was not willing to wear it, so I gave it to you." ”

I felt a wave of disgust in my heart, I just said no, and now I have it again?

I raised my eyebrows, "If you dare to fool me with old clothes, believe it or not, I beat you all over the ground looking for teeth." ”

The shopkeeper immediately made a guarantee, "Small, don't dare to deceive the guest officer." ”

"Alright, go get me the bath water and clothes!"

"Guest officer, please wait, the little one will come soon!"

After a while, Xiao Er prepared the bath water and clothes, and I asked him to leave. I took a hasty shower, went to bed and went to bed.

The night was uneventful.

The next morning, when I woke up early, I felt a little groggy in my head, and my throat was sore and itchy, as if I had stuffed a ball of cotton, which was very uncomfortable. I knew I was really sick this time. I touched my forehead, it was a little hot, but not very hot. I knew that I wasn't very sick, so I didn't take it to heart. I immediately got up, ate something casually to pad my stomach, settled the house money, and went out.

I thought that the street must be quiet, no one dared to go out to hang out, I went out to see, only to know that I thought too much, the street is still the same as before, should do business to do business, should play, should visit the door, is still lively and peaceful, there is no trace of tension at all. Yes, the people above are fighting for power, what is the matter with the people, they have to eat when they should eat, and they have to live their lives. No matter who is the emperor, as long as he can make the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous and beautiful life, then he is a good emperor. I have no choice but to pray that what is going to happen will not be brought to this calamity. Your Majesty, you have always loved the people like a son, and I hope that this time, you will not implicate innocent people.

A headache hit, the whole head seemed to explode, I rubbed my head, and sighed in my heart, my body is really not as good as before. I remember the winter of the year before last, it was also a bitterly cold winter day, there was a thick layer of ice on the Mandarin Duck Lake, I and the flywheel were naughty, and we went to the Mandarin Duck Lake to skate and play, but I accidentally fell into the ice hole, and the flywheel rescued me, and I was also soaked and shivering from the cold......

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but go out of my mind, and my heart ached faintly.

That day, when he saw that I was cold, he took off his clothes and put them on for me to wear, and then he wore thin clothes and ran home from Mandarin Duck Lake on his back. Before I knew it, I was asleep on his back, and when I woke up, I was already lying in my own bed, and there was nothing wrong. But he had an illness. Since then, he has become even more disagreeable to me, always raising his eyebrows and picking thorns all day long. Flywheel, since I was a child, you always didn't like me, I started to think that you hated me like this, and I was sad for a while, and then I pestered you with a dead face.

But this time, I won't pester you anymore. The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. We are not the same kind of people after all. You have your ambitions, you will be extraordinary after all, and I have no ambitions, just an ordinary person. You are a goshawk, and the whole sky is at your disposal. I'm a pigeon, I love my family, and I only think about my little nest. A pigeon can never fly as far as a goshawk, so fly it, no matter how high or far you fly, I will be on the ground, looking up at you, silently blessing you.
