Chapter 170: The Mantis and the Butterfly

Stannis decided to say something to ease the girl's agitation.

"His name was Zed, an ordinary peasant, strong and tall, with thick hair and neat teeth, and we both loved each other dearly. ”

Without waiting for him to speak, Deborah told her story herself.

"But my father didn't think he was worthy of me, and he drove Zed out of the village two years ago, and although we were both married in the presence of the goddess of the moon by then, he stubbornly thought that he was just an ordinary peasant, and resolutely disagreed with us being together, and took the villagers to beat him half to death and then dumped him in the same snow as this one, and locked me in the storage room without stepping a single step. ”

Stannis felt that there was something wrong with the father and daughter, no one was born nymphomaniac, or he was a man who looked down on him.

"It's all gone, life still has to look forward, what are you doing this for? Stannis couldn't bear to say.

Deborah smiled, full of poignancy, "Who else can a woman do this for, of course for the man she loves the most, if her favorite has passed away, then her heart will also die with it." ”

Stannis didn't know what to say, but in this story the girl was clearly acting as a persecuted person, very different from what she is now.

"So you ......"

Deborah wiped her eyes, her elaborate makeup was wet with tears, but she still forced her smile, "After I was released, I searched like crazy, but everyone said that he was dead and disappeared into the endless snow. ”

Stannis remained quiet, in an age where everyone had their own story and all he could do was listen.

Listen to a hairyman! He is a lord, not a bard, there is no need to go around collecting wind and vinegar to create, Stannis yawned, ready to ask this self-defeating girl to leave the good place to sleep quickly.

Deborah had stopped crying, she tilted her head curiously to look at the strange Westliner in front of her, this story that made ripples in her heart could not move him to let him take herself into his arms, what a strange fellow.

"Are you a man from the West Continent after all, I have said that I am so pitiful, and you are still standing here like a log!" the girl said coquettishly.

Stannis's face did not change, the guy here is really a moral slippery, he made a gesture of please, "You think making up a story will make me soft-hearted? I've been played hard enough by you women, now please be good sister, let me sleep beautifully." ”

Deborah got bored and got out of the bed, and she slowly put her clothes on her body one by one, and Stannis tried to stop her several times regretfully, but the sense of morality in her heart stopped him.

The girl put on her last dress and reached for the white cloak, but eventually her hand stopped.

She lowered her head, her shoulders starting to tremble, "What would you think if I told you that the story I told you just now was true?"

Stannis, who was about to fall asleep standing up, suddenly struck a spirit, and he instinctively felt that this woman was not lying.

But what can he do, give her a full hug, tell her that the world is beautiful and the future is bright? Stannis himself felt disgusted by these coaxing words, because he didn't know where his tomorrow was.

"Tonight, will you let me sleep on your shoulder?"

Deborah looked at him pleadingly, the sadness in her eyes that no man could refuse.

Stannis was not a hard-hearted guy after all, so he had to obediently lie down on the bed that was covered by the woman, but he did not take off his clothes and stubbornly showed his attitude. But the girl was not disappointed in the slightest, she smiled genuinely and sat down against the wall, resting her head gently on Stannis's shoulder.

Warmth came from his right shoulder, and he could see the white breath exhaled by the two of them slowly rising in the firelight and eventually disappearing.

And the girl's soft voice came from his ear, "Your shoulder is very much like Zed's, hard as a stone, and it hurts people's heads. ”

“...... Is it......" Stannis was a little embarrassed, he didn't know if it counted as flirting or not.

Deborah showed her cute little tiger teeth, "Usually I like to gently bite his earlobe at this time. ”

"Don't go too far!" said Stanis, glancing at the girl's chest, not for hooliganism, of course, but to see a tattoo on her chest, which was an intricate pattern.

The girl also noticed his eyes, and she deliberately tugged at the loose placket, "How about it, do you want me to take it off and show you clearly?"

"Don't, don't!" Stannis hurriedly waved his hand, he knew that it would not end well if he continued like this.

But the girl was still fiddling with the pattern, and Stannis could see that it was a butterfly painted on her chest.

"Zed has a praying mantis painted on his chest, and he says he can keep his hands up and watch over me. Deborah said a little smugly.

Stannis doesn't think so, "Butterflies and praying mantis are both six-legged insects, and you and your fiancé are really a little special." ”

Although he was joking, Deborah lowered her eyelids when she heard the word fiancé, and after a long time, she said softly.

"It's a pity that he can't protect me anymore......"

Stannis really wants to pump his two big mouths, he can't flirt and talk nonsense, he deserves to be single!

Just when he was still annoyed with his mistake in picking up girls, he felt no more sound from his shoulder. He peeked over and saw that the girl was asleep, with a satisfied smile on her face, maybe she was just looking for a place to put her heart.

And he fell asleep to the whistling of the blizzard outside.

"Boss, wake up!

Stannis felt someone pat himself on the face, and he was a little annoyed by the harsh sunlight burrowing into his eyes.

He closed his eyes and waved his arms to dispel the annoying fellow, but Robert backed away and swayed like a fly.

"Boss, don't sleep, it's almost noon! After eating, those lords are going to have a meeting, just waiting for you!"

Stannis quickly opened his eyes and sat up, only to find that he had unknowingly slept until almost noon, and the bright sunlight outside the tattered door panel shone on his face, and he was a little surprised that he was so sleepy.
