[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

Alice thought that she was going to wander with beggars forever, and tried to comfort herself, at least in this kind of life, she would not meet regular people, so she would not have to see ridicule from acquaintances.

Who knows how long she hadn't comforted herself, the beggar took her to the capital of King Campbell, pointed to a certain slum area and said that there was his home here, and he could settle down here for a while.

Alice, who used to be pampered and pampered, looked at these dirty and dilapidated houses, smelled the stench, and almost fainted.

God, is this a place where people live?

Living in the woods is really hard, but she would rather go to the woods to touch the nature and smell the fresh air in the morning and evening.

"Here..." Alice covered her nose with her veil, and spoke with difficulty, "Here..."

She couldn't even say any disgusting words, she just wanted to vomit.

The beggar looked at her with a smile and said mockingly, "Don't dislike this place. Although people here are poor, at least they have some savings in their pockets, but you have no money at all. I have been asking me to support you."

Alice was really about to vomit, and endured the smoke that rolled her eyes, and asked in disbelief: "It's okay to be poor, and I can bear it, but why is it so smelly here?"

When she was talking, an old woman passing by heard what she said, gave her a blank look, approached her, and scolded her for talking nonsense and being uneducated.

The woman looked fierce, and although she only spoke a few words, she was very aggressive, as if she was about to eat Alice when she cursed, Alice was terrified, and shrank back to the beggar.

The beggar smiled and hugged Alice in his arms, and said softly to the old woman, "Grandma Mary, don't get mad because of her, she's not sensible yet, and she doesn't smell fishy much."

The old woman finally took her sharp gaze away from Alice, looked at the beggar and asked, "Little Bill, who is this?"

"This is the wife I married." The beggar smiled a little foolishly, and said proudly, with a scheming and dark look.

After speaking, he said to Alice, "Alice, this is Grandma Mary. When I was a child, when my parents were still there, I often went to her shop to buy fish. Her fish is very good."

The old woman raised her chin proudly, and when the beggar finished speaking, she didn't even look at Alice, and continued to speak viciously and contemptuously. "It turned out to be a newly married wife. Bill, your parents are gone. No one taught you. Grandma Mary gave you advice. You have to take good care of this woman. When this woman comes, she hates this and that, and she looks like it. It's not a good thing. You can't help it if you marry, but remember that the newly married woman can't be spoiled too much, it will climb on your head and bring you disaster. You have to make up your mind Don't worry, if you need to scold, just scold, beat if you want, don't be soft-hearted..."

She approached the beggar in a daze, talking endlessly, and the half of the beggar's face covered by the hair showed a slightly impatient expression, but it was a pity that Grandma Mary couldn't see it.

Grandma Mary couldn't see it, and Alice, who was hugged by the beggar, couldn't see it either.

Alice was angry at him for allowing her to be counted down, and even more angry at the old woman for being so mean.

Yes, it's true that she offended people by saying such disgusting words regardless of the occasion, but she also said the truth, so it's stinky?

What kind of hatred, what kind of grievances, but also to educate the beggars to beat her and scold her, to scare her and hear that she will bring disaster, is it too much to control? !

"It's so funny!" Alice was trembling with anger, but she still laughed and sarcastically said, "Why can't a newly married woman spoil you so much? Is it because you have a bad life that you don't see others doing well? Jack and I What does it matter to you how Bill gets along?"

"You!" The old woman yelled angrily, looked down on Alice even more, took a deep breath and prepared to gather enough firepower to insult Alice, but Alice didn't let her speak at all, and spoke before her.

Alice is the most sarcastic person in the perineum. She snorted proudly and mocked: "You love pointing people so much, why didn't he see your pointing figure when he was having a bad life? Yes, I just said I said the wrong thing, I admit that I am irrational, I apologize here, but I am still young, I have to give me a chance to change. But you, you are very old, you don’t guide people to be good, but let the poor Bill went to abuse his family, you can’t see him getting along well with his family. It’s impossible to understand everything at such an old age, what intentions! I swear to the gods, I will draw a line with your behavior!”

After finishing speaking quickly, Alice stood at the highest point of this scolding battle, and she was very satisfied.

But thinking that it is no different than before, and there are no servants around to help her, Alice had no choice but to accept it as soon as it was good, and said to the beggar: "Bill, let's go, talking to someone like her is really hurting you!"

She tried to pull the beggar away, thinking that it would take a little effort and that she would continue to fight the old woman for a while, but who knew that the beggar quickly said sorry to the old woman, and followed her away obediently.

In order to avoid the old woman, they moved faster and faster, almost running.

Finally away from that slum area, Alice was sweating a little when she arrived in the downtown area. The scarf wrapped her face and made her feel depressed, so she moved the scarf and wanted to take it off.

The beggar quickly stopped her and said sternly: "Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you that you can only take off your headscarf when we are alone, otherwise you will definitely be bullied for your appearance. I will save you when the time comes." Not you."

The two of them were on the street, and there were indeed people coming and going, so Alice had to hold back aggrievedly.

But holding back this one, the other couldn't help it anymore, Alice raised her head and said to the tall beggar, "Don't take me to live in that place, it's too smelly, and there are inexplicably vindictive people inside." Residents, living in it is simply suffering."

When she mentioned this, the beggar wanted to laugh.

Now that the old lady is gone, the beggar smiled slyly and presumptuously: "It's just you who suffered alone, who told you that you can't speak, and you provoked that kind of person; it doesn't smell bad there, as long as you go inside, you will be fine." It will stink, but there are too many fish-raising residents outside who are not clean enough, so it stinks there, just cover your nose when you pass by. You are too delicate, and you hate going in and walking slowly, so you have lived and suffered for so long."

Alice was quite relieved that the beggar only seemed to respect the old woman, but in fact he also disliked the old woman.

The beggar is now controlling her. It is a big deal to distinguish who is speaking correctly. The beggar must distinguish clearly, otherwise she will have a hard time.

For the beggar's innocuous sarcasm, she curled her lips and ignored the beggar at all.

She recently discovered that the more you talk to the beggar, the more the beggar will smile; but if you don't talk to the beggar, the beggar will be unhappy.

Alice resolutely ignored the beggar. She found the nearest rock by herself, sat on it, and fanned herself with her hands.

The beggar was really in a bad mood, followed her with a dark face, and said beside her: "Don't always talk and ignore people."

He also only said this sentence, because he knew that Alice was difficult to change.

Alice yawned and said lazily, "I'm so hungry, let's eat first and then talk."

In the morning, the two of them didn't eat much outside the city, and Alice shared his food, and the beggar didn't eat much at all.Alice was hungry, and the tall and burly beggar heard the reminder, only to realize that he was also panicking with hunger.

"Okay." He wanted to pull Alice away.

"No!" Alice frowned and protested softly, "Pull your wrist!"

Alice has never clasped fingers with him before, and she can't stand being like him, she just wants to be pulled by his wrist as before.

The beggar didn't realize which parts she touched accidentally just now, she was stunned for a long time, and held her wrist stiffly.

"Your hands are so hot!" Alice complained dissatisfiedly as she looked at the part where the two were connected.

The beggar increased his strength in an instant, held Alice tightly, and started to walk in big strides, but he kept his voice muffled and did not talk to Alice.

Alice struggled for a few seconds before diverting her attention, and turned to worrying that he walked too fast, causing her to trot all the way to keep up.

But it's a good thing to be eager to walk on the way to dinner, so Alice didn't speak until she found that the beggar didn't take her to a place to eat ready-made meals, but took her to the vegetable market.

"Cooking?" Alice wondered.

"Hmm." The beggar answered her question casually, quickly picked out a few vegetables and a basket of eggs, and took Alice out of the market quickly.

Alice swallowed secretly when she saw so many eggs.She likes to eat eggs, and she hasn't eaten eggs for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the beggar bought so many, she was very happy.

The happiness of the poor is so simple, Alice did not realize that she has lived out the profound meaning of the life of the poor.

She walked close to the beggar with bright eyes, even if the beggar said that he should go home to cook, that is, go back to the poor area to cook, she was not angry, but just persuaded the beggar a few more words, seeing that the beggar couldn't persuade him , I obediently followed the beggar and quickly entered the slum area.

Walking through the smelly place, her steps were extremely light.

Eggs, eggs, cute eggs, she's finally going to eat eggs!

She was as happy as a happy bird on someone's roof somewhere, and her eyes were full of longing for familiar favorite foods.

The beggar didn't quite understand why she was so excited all of a sudden, but she was happy, and he also frowned inexplicably.

They walked for a long time before arriving at the beggar's house. It was a short and small house, the smallest and shortest house she had ever seen along the way. When she opened the door, the space inside was as cramped as a villain's. Alice Happiness froze.

"Is this your house?" she asked in shock.

"It's our home." The beggar corrected contentedly, and then dragged her to continue walking, "Let's go to the kitchen."

Alice was even more stunned.

Is there something wrong with dividing the kitchen in such a small space?

But for the sake of food, she temporarily endured it.

It's just that in the kitchen, the beggar actually ordered her to cook instead of cooking for her.

"No, didn't you do it?" Alice couldn't believe it, and kept asking.

The beggar went to get a knife, turned on the faucet, put a whetstone under the water flow, and sharpened the knife quickly. His eyes were cold as he looked at the metal, and his voice was also casual, a little cold. Han: "It's only natural for a wife to do housework for her husband. I've been supporting you for nothing. You don't think I'll support you for nothing, do you?"

Alice swallowed, knowing that this was her fate, she held back her tears and forced herself to accept it, not to let herself be too sad about such a trivial matter, and let others see the joke.

She adjusted herself well, but when the beggar asked her to wash the vegetables, she was at a loss and said in a panic, "I, I haven't washed vegetables before..."

The beggar frowned and said in a low voice, "It's really troublesome."

He taught Alice to wash the vegetables by hand, and then asked Alice to cut them, and Alice was even more confused.

"How, how to cut?"

She was holding the heavy knife, her fingers were long and white, and she looked amazing, but those fingers were so weak that she struggled to hold the knife.

The beggar sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to teach her again.

The two spent a lot of time washing and chopping vegetables, and finally got to the cooking part. The beggar was impatient, so he quickly lit the pot, and asked Alice to make the simplest soup, and explained in detail how to put seasonings Finally, he excused something and went out.

After going out, he covered his stomach, which was suffering from hunger, and walked quickly in one direction.

Alice, who was left in the room, began to cook tremblingly as if she was facing an enemy, strictly following the beggar's instructions.

But she doesn't know how to deal with boiling water, doesn't know how to beat eggs, and she doesn't know how to deal with the foamy pot after the egg liquid enters the water.

So when the beggar came back after eating and drinking calmly, he found Alice in a corner of the kitchen, looking at the pot not far away with panic and tears in her eyes.

And the pot that caused her panic was extremely dirty, with foam constantly overflowing and hitting the flames, making a crackling sound.

"You're finally back!" Alice said gratefully, and immediately ran to him, saying anxiously, "Look, look, what should I do?"

The beggar handled everything calmly, and after filling up the soup inside, he couldn't help but take a sip first.

Speaking of which, this was the first time his wife cooked for him, so he had to taste it well.

Then spit it out quickly.

"Why does it taste so disgusting?" he asked in disbelief.

Alice said in embarrassment: "But I, but I have already said, I don't know how to cook." After she finished speaking, she looked at her stomach in pain, and said in a crying voice, "Is the taste really disgusting? Hungry."

She was about to cry because she didn't have anything to eat, and she felt so deeply wronged that it was especially contagious.

The beggar paused, and had no choice but to say, "Forget it, I'll do it today."

It's just that he didn't expect it at all, and he kept doing it, because whenever he asked Alice to do it, Alice could always turn an ordinary meal into a solid poison.
