The Abandoned Princess

Friendly Village Women

Lexie's body had just recovered, then rode a horse for two hours, he would have completely collapsed, if it continued like this, fearing that something would happen.

"Sichello." Lexie's voice looked weak.

Arlo listened to her voice slow down the speed of her horse, then heard Lexie say: "Let's find a place to rest for a while, my body can't hold on."

Arlo nodded, stopped at the side, then after getting off the horse he reached out his hand to help Lexie down, he just saw Lexie's face really very pale, in the darkness of the night, he said, this kind of pale looks like a ghost.

"Girl, you should have said earlier." Arlo, shocked by her pale face, thinks Lexie can't stand the cold night breeze, immediately picks up a bottle of alcohol from her waist, "Miss, drink two sips, wine can warm her up, drinking a few sips can make you better."

Lexie shook her head not taking it, "I don't drink alcohol, is there water?"

Arlo nods, goes to the horse to pick up a water bottle and asks Lexie to sit on a rock at the side, helping her unscrew the bottle before handing it over.

Lexie drank a few sips, the water was very cold, a bit uncomfortable drinking it, but eventually Lexie suppressed her selling feeling and went back to drinking a few sips, filling the body with water, so that, Lexie sat back for a while and then slowly got better, "Arlo, I think we should find a place to rest for a while and then continue the journey."

"But Mr. Julian said tonight, at least have to rush through three cities, otherwise it will be easy to catch up." Arlo's face was troubled, "Or is your lady holding on a little more? I'll drive slower."

Lexie sighed and shook her head, Lexie is not a spoiled person, but Lexie is also not a self-imposing person, she knows that her body can not survive, she can survive, but what about that little guy in his stomach, can it survive? If insisting on returning irreversible regrets, Lexie will choose to bet.

"If it's not like this, we'll find a farmhouse around, then I'll rest at the farmhouse, even though I don't know the way but I'm not a directional blind, I went to Beiming Country myself and joined you. It's just that I have to trouble you to drive all night to pull away the soldier's pursuit."

"What words did the lady say, this is a duty I should do, just leave you alone here, if anything happens ..." Arlo didn't dare take the risk.

"There will be nothing with my body, how far can I run? It would be safer if you diverted those soldiers, wouldn't you? Don't worry, I've been so big, I might make myself disappear. If you really can't, then once you're sure you avoid that pursuit you can come back and come pick me up again instead.lexie always knows that she's actually very good at persuading people, but she's very good at persuading people, This Arlo was an honest person, hearing Lexie say that, it seemed to make sense, then he just nodded and agreed.

After resting for a while, Arlo helps Lexie up on the horse, then the two go along the path ahead, from a distance seemingly seeing a firelight in the middle of the mountain.

Arlo hides the horse in a small forest next to the road, then walks up the mountain with Lexie.

The fire on the mountain looked close, it was actually not easy to walk on the mountain road, they walked for an hour, both of them panting finally seeing a small house.

Seeing that there was light in the room meant that there was a person staying, Arlo came forward and knocked on the door, before long, the door opened, an old man wrapped in a fur rhombi was seen, and there was no light, when he opened the door, he was still holding a hunting knife in his hand, looking at the stranger standing outside the door, his look full of vigilance.

"Where did you come from, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The old man was clearly a hunter in the mountains.

Arli hurried to explain, "We just passed by, this is because my sister's condition is not very good, there is no village or shop in front, so want to ask if you can stay overnight at your place, you take it easy my sister will not stay for free, we will pay the price according to the price of lodging what can?"

"Old man, who's coming?" The hunter still did not reply, there was already an old woman coming out from inside the house, the old woman's vigilance and the hunter was different, seeing two people standing at the door, his face laughing warmly.

The old hunter turned around and spoke to the old woman, the vigilance on his face instantly turning into tenderness, "They said they wanted to stay over."

"Then, why are you still standing in the doorway? It is so night, it is not easy to travel outside, if they want to spend the night, then let them spend the night. There's no empty bed left." Said the old woman then pulled the hunter aside.

Although the hunter retreated, but his face was still anxious, "The girl is fine, seems weak and harmless, but the young man seems to be able to defend himself, am I not worried that it will be unsafe."

The old woman was trying to babble at the hunter, when Arlo heard her, he hurried to say: "Uncle, you misunderstood me, I have important business, do not live here, do not live here, it's just that my sister's body is weak and can't be exhausted, making it difficult for you to allow her to stay here for one night, I still have to hurry."

Arlo nodded, taking out a small piece of silver to give the hunter, but the hunter and the old woman waved at the same time, not wanting to accept the silver.

"Wouldn't it just stay for one night, for what to give money, I saw this girl's face so pale, it was definitely very uncomfortable. Even though we are both mountain people, but neither are we greedy." The old woman welcomes Lexie into the house.

Arlo still wanted to say something, Lexie shook her head saying: "See these two old men are good people, you don't have to be disinclined anymore, better hurry up."

Arlo thought, they had indeed delayed a lot of time, so did not say much anymore, leaving after retreating to the two old men.

The old woman brought Lexie an empty room next to her, the bed in the room was very clean, the old woman said that this was the room her son was staying in, they went hunting for a tiger in the mountains two days ago, so the son sold the tiger to the city, had to wait until it sold out just got home.

After speaking to the old woman, Lexie only found out that the mountain range was the largest among the mountains near the capital, due to the steep terrain and the many wild beasts in the forest, which was the largest in the world, so it was a place for high-ranking officials to go on hunting adventures, because there were too many wild beasts, so there were no villages in the mountains, there were only a few hunters living in a diffuse manner.

This family of theirs relied on mountains for life, hunting for a living, living on these mountains for most of their lives, so few people came, he said, the old hunter and his sons sometimes went to the city selling goods for a few days and the old woman was in the mountains for many years, so, it was rare to see people, it was rare, so excited to see Lexie.

The old woman was very talkative, she pulled Lexie and spoke for a long time, until she saw that Lexie's eyelids could no longer hold her back, her face was also pale again, she just said a few words telling Lexie to go to the room to rest.

When the old woman left, Lexie immediately lay on the bed, as soon as her body touched the mattress she immediately fell asleep.

His sleep turned out, sleeping until the next day.

After Lexie got up out of the room, she saw the old woman was chopping wood in the yard, the old woman saw Lexie then immediately smiled, "Little Miss, is awake, seems really exhausted, really tired, it's sleeping till noon."

The old woman did not mean to laugh at Lexie, as she spoke, she spoke sincerely, the old woman got up, wiped her hands on her clothes, then went to the kitchen, "It must be hungry right, you know, I've told you a little porridge, you wait a minute, I'll bring it to you. Mountains are not like cities, nothing is good, there is only vegetable porridge, miss don't choose to eat, your body is weak so have to eat something."

"Yes, I don't choose food, usually also like to eat porridge." Against this simple and honest old lady, Lexie had a good impression so naturally she showed a bright smile.

The old woman came out with the porridge, looking at the woman who was smiling brightly in the sunlight, as she was glued: "Miss, you are truly beautiful, all my life I've never seen anyone look so beautiful like you."

Lexie laughed, thanked the old woman, took the porridge in her hand and ate it.

Pure natural food is good, even though only vegetable porridge has the aroma of the most original food, Lexie spent the porridge to clean. He stood up and went to the kitchen to wash the empty bowl, then saw someone galloping in the forest in the distance, that person was not someone else but the old hunter.

At this moment, the old hunter's face panicked, on his back carrying a man, running as he shouted, "A careless old woman came to help, hurry!"

Seeing her anxious face the old woman rushed over, Lexie put down the empty bowl and ran towards it.

"Hurry and help bring this guy down." The old hunter said, with the help of the old lady and Lexie, the person behind him was put down.

After the man was laid down, Lexie saw that it was a young man, his face was very handsome even though he was severely injured, still able to exert heavy pressure on his body.

The upper layer of the young man's clothes, in a glance at it was not a cloth that a layman could buy, his stomach and arms were injured, seemingly injured from being bitten by a savage beast, there was already a piece of flesh torn apart, his bones alone could be seen, which was even worse, a sharp tooth stuck in his bone gap, he seemed to have been injured for quite some time, the clothes on his upper body were completely wet, his face was also pale, clearly already losing too much blood.

"If his wounds are not treated, fear that his life will be in danger." Lexie saw such a bloody scene, but there was no panicked look, instead looking extremely calm, this made the old hunter beside her involuntarily feel amazed. It must be known, the old woman when she saw this terrible scene was already frightened to take a few steps back.
