Volume 8 Flap your wings! 136 Withered Rose 05

"The result?"

Rose raised his head and said with a scared expression, "It was only two hours from the time I stepped through his door until I left, but it felt like twenty years to me. I've been dragging my feet. In the end, the meal was finished, the wine was gone, and everything that needed to be done was done, and I really couldn't find a reason to stay, so I could only worry about leaving with my plate in fear. When I got to the door, Quincy suddenly stopped me. ”

"I was so frightened that I almost got on my knees and begged for mercy to tell him not to kill me. But Quincy told me to turn around. Rose grabbed his collar and said, "That's what I was doing now, glaring at him with a pale face, and looking at his sword again." The sword was placed next to the bed, I didn't realize it before, and at that moment I felt that it exuded a bloody aura, and it looked very terrifying. ”

Quincy looked at me for a long time, her eyes were like crocodiles, I couldn't move when I wanted to, I just couldn't stop shaking, and tears slowly flowed out. He stared at me for nearly five minutes before he sighed and said, 'I've known you for ten years, haven't I?' you're smart enough to know what I'm thinking, and I should have killed you for that.' Rose, leave Zion, don't fight Lucina and Xu Zheng's idea, you will never know me in the future, understand? Don't force me to kill you, I don't want to kill you. Now while I don't regret it, go. I couldn't say a word, but nodded desperately before he waved his hand like a fly. ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Rose continued: "I don't remember much about the rest of the matter, it's a mess anyway, and all the memories left behind have been collecting things and running away." Quincy was a good thing, he never cared about money, and he didn't mean to take my money for himself from beginning to end, so I packed up all my money and ran away in a hurry. Until I left the imperial capital for hundreds of miles, I still couldn't believe that Quincy really let me go, he still had a little bit of old love in his heart, this man was not as dark and corrupt as I imagined. Well, maybe you, maybe Lucina, touched something in his heart and didn't kill me. Anyway, I escaped safely from the imperial capital of Zion. ”

Ross said up and down, and Xu Zheng couldn't help but be frightened when he listened. It's really hanging. Quincy's change of thought finally let her go, the former Uncle Quincy was really ...... It's scary.

"What happened later?" Xu Zheng couldn't help but ask.

Ross said: "Later, of course, I kept running all the way, and the farther I fled, the better, for fear of running into Quincy, the god of killing." The thought of sleeping with this killer for so many years makes me shudder uncontrollably. ”

"At first I rented a carriage and fled all the way to the port. From there, we left the Eastern Continent by ship and arrived at Virgil on the Western Continent. I'm not a woman who has no experience going out, and I still know how to protect myself, hide my money, and use one or two men who like me to protect myself, so I've been safe and sound during this period. ”

"After arriving in Virgil, I saw that the imperial capital there was quite prosperous, and there was a faint tendency to surpass Zion, so I set up a tavern and continued to do business, planning to live like this for the rest of my life. Who knows......"

Xu Zheng sighed, and had already guessed in his heart that Rose must have encountered Virgil's civil strife.

Sure enough, Ross continued: "I don't know that Virgil looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact, he is chaotic on the inside. Soon after, it began to be ** between several princes and princesses of the Virgil dynasty. First of all, the eldest prince Sean Virgil was the first to attack his brother's castle. I don't know exactly what happened, but I stayed in Abby Virgil's sphere of influence because she was a woman, and she took care of women in business, and the conditions were more lenient. All I know is that Hawke Virgil's castle was besieged, and the small and medium-sized castles were quickly taken, leaving only the main castle Silver Arrow to fight the trapped beasts. At this time, I realized that something was wrong and was preparing for evacuation in advance. Then came the news that Prince Hawke, unaware of what aid he had received, had broken through in an unexpected lightning-fast way, and that the Silver Arrow siege plan was tantamount to a total failure. The royal man has never had real friends and relatives, and I had a hunch that Sean would do something to Abby immediately after Hawke, so I accelerated the pace of selling my own property. Just ......"

Rose sighed: "I didn't expect Virgil's political situation to be so fast, and before I could sell a few things, Sean's army had already entered the city." Next, all the stores were completely seized, and Abby and Sean officially took over. ”

"I'm not a fool, of course I'll stay away from Virgil when the war burns on my head, life is more important than money, and if I leave my life, I may have a chance to turn it over. ”

"I packed what I could take with me and hurried on my way again. This time is not as good as the previous one, and there are very few things I can get away with with it. After escaping like this, he sold all the way and lost it. In the midst of the war, prices rose again and again, and when I fled to the frontier of Virgil, the war swept all the way in. This has led to a massive shortage of food and household items, and the most precious thing is not gold, but something to eat and clothe. You know, at that time, a coarse loaf of bread could be sold for ten gold coins. Ten gold coins are just repaid, but the key is that many times you can't see the goods if you sell a hundred gold coins. That's when I spent a lot of money. ”

Rose smiled at this time and said, "One day, I was sitting in the field munching on dry bread, and I saw a man passing by with an old woman on his back. The terrain I chose is very good, high and far away, once the momentum is not right, it is easy to observe if there is a team fighting, and it is the most suitable lookout spot for running and flashing people. The man's thoughts were probably similar to mine, and he chose this place to rest. ”

"Dean, Andrew, are you man?" Xu Zheng asked, guessing.

"Well, he and his mother. It was he who had escaped from the village carrying his mother on his back, and the small village where he used to live was not far from Silverarrow Castle. Rose smiled lightly and said, "I was staring at him vigilantly, for fear that he would rob me of my food." But he didn't, smiled at me innocently, put my mother down, and fed her water. ”

"Hell, a hard-hearted woman like me can be sympathetic. I saw that his mother had no food, so I kept staring at the bread in my hand while I was not paying attention, and my whole face was swollen from hunger, and I threw a noodle uncontrollably. I regretted it after throwing it away. The bread was worth forty gold coins each. ”

Xu Zheng couldn't help but smile: "That's because you are kind." ”

"Am I kind?" Rose scoffed, "You're blinded by the sun, aren't you?"

Xu Zheng didn't answer, just smiled at Rose. Good people sometimes do bad things, bad people also have good intentions shine, good people and bad people are never so categorically different.

Ross can throw a loaf of bread to the old man in a difficult time, and whether she has compassion because the other party is also an elderly woman in danger, just this act of giving food makes Xu Zheng look at her with admiration, and feels that her current appearance is much better than when she was glamorous and decent in the imperial capital.

Rose added: "Dean thanked me gratefully, and when he saw that I was choking on dry bread, he gave me his water, picked up the bread and handed it to his mother." His mother refused to eat one of them, so she broke the bread and ate it separately, and the mother and son nibbled on the bread as if they had never seen bread before. At this time, my brain began to dizzy again, and I actually threw another noodle ** to ......"

Seeing that Ross had a remorseful expression on his face and wanted to hit the wall, Xu Zheng was happy.

"I felt that I was evil, and I was afraid that my brain would go crazy for a while and I would make some gesture of giving food, so I immediately hurried away from the strange mother and son. ”

"I fled north alone, and when I met a group of refugees on the way, I quietly hid in. It turns out that not everyone is as kind as Dean. I was caught stealing bread at night, and as you can imagine, a group of hungry people rushed up and snatched everything I had. ”

"Of course I refused to give it, and I tore with them, and I don't know how many beatings I was given, how many bones were broken. Anyway, I started to have a high fever that night because of my injuries, and the more I went on, the worse the fever became. Gradually, the whole person softened, and he couldn't move when he slept there. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't have any expectations for people's hearts, and the fact is that after all the money and food are robbed, I sleep in the field and no one cares, leaving me to fend for myself." ”

"I felt like I was finished, and after struggling for a while, I gave up and fell asleep. When I woke up again, I could see Dean's mother wiping my forehead with a rag dipped in water through my half-open eyelids, and I heard Dean's voice speaking, 'Wake up, I've caught a rabbit and I'll have some soup in a minute.' 'The God of Light is above!' I swear, his mother's face is the most beautiful I have ever seen, and his voice is the best I've ever heard in my life! His voice is deep and thick, and no man's voice is as good as his, not even Quincy's!"

"Although Dean is a vegetable grower, he is also half a hunter in his spare time, and occasionally hunts some wild beasts, and the three of us will not starve to death. I'm in good health, and I'm slowly getting better. Dean's mother, on the other hand, got worse and worse day by day, and one day she didn't open her eyes after she went to sleep. Dean was sad, but the circumstances did not allow for sadness. We had no choice but to bury her and continue to flee. After a pause, Rose said very sincerely: "She is such an amazing woman, although we have been together for a short time, I still like her." I really like it! Only a resolute and generous woman like her can raise a man like a mountain like Dean, and I can't do it. ”
