[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alice endured three days of hard life that she had never had before.

During these three days, the beggars ate whatever they ate: they ate wild vegetables, boiled corn, potatoes, and unknown super-sour wild fruits...

I didn't see any oily smell, and it was so unpalatable.

Alice was hungry when she was awake, and she wanted to eat when she was asleep.

Her husband was really poor, desperately poor.

Therefore, when entering a small town on the fourth day, after the beggar husband bought a roast chicken for the two of them to eat, Alice immediately devoured it with tears in her eyes.

She didn't care about etiquette at all, because from the three days of getting along with her, she knew deeply that if she ate less and slowly, her beggar husband would not eat less and slowly.

The amount of food is about the same. Her beggar husband has no intention of being humble to her. He will always compete with her for food and will not give it to her with any sympathy. Therefore, if she wants to fill her stomach, she can only rely on robbing.

It may be that her posture was too fierce, so the beggar stopped unconsciously, propped her chin, and said mockingly to the hard-working Alice: "Look at your appearance, were you really a noble once? You are ruder than me." ..."

His voice stopped suddenly, because he saw Alice raised her head to look at him, her mouth was full, and she was struggling to chew the food in her mouth, and her round and big eye sockets were filled with tears of grievance , but she tried her best to keep her eyes wide open, she didn't cry or make a fuss, and she tried her best not to let the tears fall...

She scolded him before, but at this moment her eyes are so clear, like a poor ignorant child, which is especially painful.

She only glanced at the beggar, and realized that she could not stare at people, and might cry in front of her enemies instead, she hastily lowered her head again, and started to eat harder.

She knew that the beggar didn't move suddenly, but she thought that the beggar was watching her joke quietly, and the delicious roast chicken in her mouth gradually became less delicious...

But it was impossible for her to stop, and she turned to tearing all the parts that she thought were delicious, tearing a roast chicken into pieces, it was ugly, but it was also hard to see. Her appetite was whetted again.

Most of the roasted chickens were eaten, which meant that she picked up a bargain today, and finally won the battle with the beggars for food. She was very happy, and her whole body became cheerful.

It was the first time in four days that she was happy.

The beggar looked at her rare childish smile, but the beggar only looked up at her, then lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and did not dislike the leftovers of her food at all. He ate the food cleanly and didn't know what he was thinking. What.

After eating, he took Alice to the river to wash her face.

Alice had been waiting to clean her hands for a long time, and she didn't need him to call. She saw the stream from a distance, and quickly rushed to the river to wash it.But Alice couldn't clean the greasy face and hands by herself.

Alice was so angry that her face was swollen with anger, like some kind of cute little animal.

The beggar gave her a quick look, and another look, and another look, and Alice thought he was laughing at her when he noticed that she couldn't even wash her hands.

Alice was already annoyed, thinking he was making fun of him, her eyes turned red: "Yes, I can't wash well, are you satisfied?"

The beggar froze for a moment, and was surprised to find that her face and hands were still greasy.

Even though he hated Alice's harsh words, his heart softened strangely, and he stretched out his hand to wash Alice up unconsciously.

He thought Alice was going to refuse, but after Alice found out that he was helping her wash her face, she closed her eyes and enjoyed his service with peace of mind, and instructed him where she needed to wash again.

She looked so beautiful with her face upturned and silent, and based on her beauty, he barely patiently helped Alice finish washing, and even wiped Alice's face and hands with a clean handkerchief.

After wiping, he waited for Alice's thank you, but Alice didn't show any gratitude at all, she turned her back to him and went to play with the little flowers by the river.

Speechlessly, the beggar twisted Alice's body back, and said angrily, "Wouldn't you say thank you if someone helped you?"

Alice looked at him in surprise, blinked her innocent eyes a few times, and asked in confusion, "Should I say thank you for this kind of thing?"

The beggar found desperately that she really didn't understand.

"You have to say thank you, or I won't wash it for you in the future." He said with a gloomy face.

The beggar had threatened her with a knife before, and he could threaten her now. Anyway, it would not hurt him to say thank you, so Alice quickly said thank you.

This speed was so fast that the beggar felt aggrieved, and felt that he was the one who suffered unintentionally.

"Hey," the beggar pushed Alice's shoulder and said, "tell me about your experience, no matter how much you resist, the fact is that we are already married, we are bound, and we should get to know each other. "

Alice hated him the most when he reminded her of the fact that the two of them were married. She gave the beggar a blank look and resisted without saying a word.

Seeing that she was angry, the beggar was satisfied, and leisurely pointed to the surrounding rivers and mountains, and said, "You don't have to say anything, we can chat for a while. Do you think this place is much more beautiful than the place we walked before? The vegetation is lush , the water source is abundant, and it is a good piece of land. The nearby residents are also kinder and richer than what we saw before, so we can only eat roast chicken today."

Alice looked in the direction he said in confusion, then tilted her head and recalled the comparison he said blankly, as if she had finally digested it, and there was a pensive look in her eyes, and then there was A look of approval.

The beggar waited patiently for her to finish digesting, and said with a smile, "Do you know where this is?"

Alice didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but seeing his mysterious look, as if he was holding back, she was afraid that she would be taken to a bad place, so she asked, "Where?"

He stretched out his voice and said slowly: "This place is no longer your father's territory, it is the territory of King Campbell that you rejected..." He was afraid that Alice would not be able to understand who Campbell was, so he laughed softly She smiled, and reminded Alice by blowing in her ear, "You are too bad a princess, and your inappropriate words and deeds can always be known to the whole country in the same day. Three days ago, you dared to laugh at Campbell as King Thrushcross" , and it became known all at once.

But he doesn't suffer, he is rich and handsome, his country is more powerful than your father, and he is well-mannered, so he doesn't care about your bad words.

So... the only one who really suffers is you.Look at you, you could have been the queen of Campbell's kingdom, but now you can only be a beggar with me, it's really funny. "

Alice heard that she crushed the freshly picked flowers and squeezed out the juice. She looked at the mountains and rivers in a daze, feeling the satisfaction in her belly. It was impossible not to regret it. She really I regret it.

Her father was so cruel to her, she couldn't and no longer wanted to go back to being the beloved Princess Alice, so she could only think of other hopes.

Queen Campbell is indeed very good, a thousand times better than being a beggar's wife.

She misses the court life where she eats well and dresses well, she misses sleeping in a large and luxurious bed, waiting for many servants to serve her, and she misses having a family who can make her act coquettish and make her squeamish.

In retrospect, that King Campbell was not ugly, and he had a good temper, as if he would spoil her if he married.

But, she couldn't go back. The reality is that she married a beggar and became the laughing stock of the world.

Good news never goes out, and bad news spreads thousands of miles. Now even a beggar is laughing at her face to face. She dare not think how those people who hate her are celebrating her bad luck at this moment.

But she gritted her teeth, not wanting to tell Hanako to just read a joke, she purposely said pitifully and in a trance: "This forest, this green meadow, and the nice people nearby all belong to King Campbell."

After she finished speaking, she stared closely at the beggar's face, and suddenly took the initiative to push back the beggar's hair covering his face, so that he could see the beggar's appearance clearly.

The facial features of the beggar are actually handsome, and the face is also very good. He also has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, but the part covered by the hair is actually an ugly scar. The evil spirit crawled out.

At first sight, Alice's hand felt numb as if stung by a poisonous bee, and she regretted pulling it away, but she gritted her teeth and told herself that she must never give up!Because the beggar's eyes are still full of jokes at the moment.

Alice silently pinched her thigh with the other hand to keep her body from trembling with fear.

She calmed down, approached the beggar's face, and said with a regretful expression: "It would be great if I married him, but it's a pity that I married you."

She looked as if she had seen through the soul of the beggar before she said such words, and the beggar could not help but see a strong sourness and jealousy in his eyes: "You praise other men so much in front of me, I am really upset, don't I deserve it?" Can't you?"

He turned his face away and said nothing, clenched his fists, and confessed his sadness: "I am indeed not good-looking, I can't find any serious job, and I earn my living by singing and singing. Do you think I am willing to marry you who look down on you?" Human woman? I am more unlucky than you."

If he continued to choke Alice, Alice would definitely fight back a thousand times, but he suddenly talked about his shortcomings so calmly, and Alice felt uneasy.

When she picks on people whose appearance is not a big problem, she can be picky with confidence, but when it comes to people who have obviously suffered because of their looks, she can't be picky.

To be honest, Alice also knew that he was quite innocent. After all, he was forced to marry her. He didn't get any benefits these days, and he complained many times that she ate too much and demanded too much, but he still didn't give up. Next to her, knowing that she robbed the food, he still ate with her.

Alice used to be afraid that he would touch her. After all, they were already husband and wife. She had no reason to stop him from getting close, but he was not at all confused by Alice's extraordinary beauty. Hit her.

Such a beggar is not only pitifully stupid, but also blind, but also... also makes her a little relieved.

Although it was her misfortune to marry him, she might be considered lucky.

She still remembers that her mother who died for her reminded her not to be obsessed with the sweetness of words, not to be obsessed with the charm of appearance, but to carefully observe what the people she meets really do, so that she can know who is really for her good.

Although she couldn't get rid of the beauty's flattery, she agreed with her mother's point of view.

Alice didn't say anything about disliking the beggar, even if the beggar just called her a contemptuous woman.

But it doesn't mean that she will treat him well in the future. Her mind is not broken. She knows that if he is really good for her, she should let him go.
