i really don't want to be king

Although Alox had told him not to sleep too deeply, Lu Xi was already tired all day, and he fell asleep quickly while lying on the grass.

The air in the meadow is very fresh, but the dream is not so pleasant.

Lu Xi found himself sitting in a towering palace, and there were many people kneeling below. They kept muttering, looking pious and respectful, but they were... abusing him.

They don't like him, everyone hates him, wishing to stay away from him.

Lu Xi sat on the soft and comfortable cushion and shed tears of sadness involuntarily.

But these people liked his arch-enemy very much, and that arch-enemy also taunted him, taking pleasure in making fun of him, those people wished they could throw themselves at their arch-enemy's feet, kneel and lick him.

Lu Xi's tears fell free, flooding his feet, a beam of dark light shone on him, and there were all shadows outside the circle, while the enemy laughed happily, and his smug laughter was all around his ears.

It's so sad!I really wanted to slap him, but Lu Xi's body was crying uncontrollably, and the tears drowned his whole body. He swam vigorously in the tears, but he couldn't swim out no matter what, so he had to give up resistance in the end.

I don't know how long he was soaked in tears, Lu Xi woke up in horror, he opened his mouth and breathed heavily, and his consciousness was still in a dream.

Good thing it was just a nightmare.

This dream is too scary!How could he cry so sadly in front of his deadly enemy, at least... beat him up first!

However, a dream is always a dream, not real.

Lu Xi thought so, but his emotions couldn't be lifted, and his whole body was sleepy.

After walking out of the tent, I found that everyone's face was full of gloom, and the depressed mood spread throughout the camp.

An incredible idea came to Lu Xi's mind: "...you all had nightmares?"

Several people looked gloomy and depressed.

There was a flash of struggle on Yi Miao's face, and finally said: "I dreamed that I was ridiculed by all the royal children because I didn't learn the royal rules well."

Refnor's eyes were red: "I dreamed that I went to buy my grandpa a birthday present. I had saved pocket money for a long time, but because the nobles were looking for it, the boss sold it to him. Obviously I chose it first. of……"

Alox was just silent, but Lu Xi could also guess that it was not a pleasant thing anyway.

Strangely, what they dreamed seemed to be sad things they had experienced, but Lu Xi was sure that the things in the dreams were not his memories.

Why is it different?

Along the way, Lu Xi was thinking about the reasons for the differences in the dreams. It was very likely that he was not the real Prince Lu Xi. The scene in the dream happened, but he could not remember it.

This night's collective nightmare incident was too weird. For the teachers leading the team, they should not relax their vigilance. They are increasing the scope of investigation, and they have no time to pay attention to whether the freshmen have violated the rules.

Lu Xi saw someone exchanging wild vegetables for kindling by the river.

These aristocratic children had never made anything with their own hands, and they almost ate the bread they brought last night, but they smelled the aroma of Lu Xi's roasted wild vegetables. Although they were very disdainful, they couldn't help but want to try.

When they saw Lu Xi's eyes looking this way, they packed up and left with a guilty conscience.

Lu Xi didn't have the time to expose them, he already had a new target, which was these cute, lively fish!

What kind of wild vegetables can you eat if you have meat!

The river is not deep, just above the knee, the water quality is clear and translucent, and the fish in it are about the length of a palm.

There were no tools, but Alroux and Refnor said they could go into the water and catch fish.

It is impossible for Yi Miao to condescend to catch fish. It is already very good that he can come and work with him.

Lu Xi didn't mind going into the water, but he thought of a more important thing.

How can there be no seasoning when there is fish?

Moreover, the fish meat is more savory, and the fishy smell cannot be suppressed by using only salty grass.

Lu Xi set his goal on the village, and he planned to go to the village to borrow some seasoning.

Refuno and Yimiao had no objections, but Alox expressed that he was not safe.

Lu Xi shook his head seriously: "It's an insult to such a good ingredient without seasoning, it will die with regret!"

"..."

After the silence, Alox lowered his rolled up trouser legs.

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, you can catch fish at ease."

Revnor's combat effectiveness alone is too weak, so he can go alone for such matters as arranging the case, and he must allocate manpower reasonably.

Alox couldn't object any more, he just sped up his movements.

The distance from the village to the river is not too far, but the village is not as small as Lu Xi imagined, and the area of ​​the village is quite large.

It's a pity that there are relatively few people. The doors of several houses that Lu Xi passed by were closed, and there was no response to knocking on the door.

The whole village was quiet, a bit weird and unharmonious.

Lu Xi couldn't help but stop. The reason why he had the courage to come in was because he felt that since the academy chose this village as their training place, their safety would be guaranteed. At least they would send people to investigate the situation here beforehand.

But now that he is going back home, he will feel that this trip was in vain, thinking about his delicious grilled fish!

In the end, Lu Xi decided to try the next one. If there is still no one, then he will go back immediately!

Fortunately, the door of this family's house was open, and dim candlelight shone through the crack of the door.

Lucy hesitated for a moment, and decided to knock on the door.

There was the sound of slow footsteps in the door, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground.

"Is it the village chief?"

An old questioning voice sounded from inside, and Lu Xi immediately explained his purpose.

Not long after, the door opened, and the owner was an old woman.

She looked at Lu Xi with cloudy eyes and smiled kindly.

"Son, what can you do with me?"

Lu Xi stared at her for a while, then greeted her with a smile, and explained to her why he came.

"Seasoning... What seasoning do you need? It's a pity that there is nothing good at home... I'll look for it for you." The old woman warmly invited Lu Xi in.

Lu Xi stepped into her house, but did not let down his guard.

While the old woman was looking for seasonings for marinating fresh fish, Lu Xi was also looking at the room.

I am used to seeing gorgeous palaces, but looking at this simple house, it has more life atmosphere.

"Grandma, do you live alone?"

"Yeah, I'm just a widowed old man, my son, daughter and wife have passed away."

Lu Xi hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry for mentioning your sadness."

"It's okay..." The old woman found him a jar and poured him a glass of water, but Lu Xi had no desire for plain water and didn't drink it.

"I'm used to it. It's been a long time since anyone came to chat with me. Good boy, you came just in time."

This old lady is really a very talkative person, and she is warm and generous. She gave Lu Xi the seasoning and put it in a big jar, and also gave Lu Xi two big plump tomatoes.

Tomatoes are fresh and have a sour aroma.

"Can I have some wine?"

"Of course you can, kid."

Lu Xi said: "By the way, why are there so few people in this village? And every household has their doors tightly closed?"

The old woman's hands trembled, as if she was a little scared. Lu Xi's reaction to her was even more strange. She leaned on the window and looked out, before carefully saying: "I heard that there are demons who escaped from the Holy See." I don't know which village I fled to, everyone is afraid of being found by the devil!"

After the old woman spoke excitedly, it took a while to calm down.

Lu Xi inadvertently frightened the old man again. He guiltily took out a gold coin to pay, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate. Gold coins are a huge wealth for the poor, and they will definitely attract the jealousy of others. The old woman lives alone. If it is, if someone is hostile to her, she will not be able to resist.

After thinking about it, Lu Xi chose to pay a few copper coins.

Copper coins are more than enough to pay for these seasonings, not as eye-catching as gold coins.

When the old woman handed him the wine and the pot, Lu Xi also handed over the silver coins.

"Oh, that's a lot. These are cheap trinkets."

But Lu Xi insisted, but the old woman was very guilty, "My good boy, I have accepted your kindness, please wait a moment, I will make you a cup of tea, otherwise I will not be able to sleep tonight, please let me repay you. "

She went into the kitchen to make tea for Lu Xi, while Lu Xi sat, staring at the cold white water, suddenly thought of something.

Tea in this world is very expensive.

Where does a poor old lady get tea from?

Lu Xi realized something was wrong, and wanted to run away, but the old woman had already returned, holding a steaming bowl of "tea" in her hand.

"Good boy, why don't you sit down, do you want to sneak away?"

The "grandmother" stood in front of Lu Xi. She grabbed Lu Xi's arm and pushed him onto the stool, knocking the bowl on the table with a "bang".

"A child who wastes the heart of an old man is not a good child!"

The "grandmother" looked at him with straight eyes and reprimanded him angrily.
