The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 685 I’m afraid it’s a black shop

Seeing the princess's serious look, Nier really couldn't refuse her request, so she finally nodded and agreed.

So the two of them began to plot in low voices, and talked until midnight, until they both felt extremely sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, he found an excuse and left the barracks.

The area around here is barren. Looking around, there are almost no houses to be seen except for the withered weeds and a few crows flying by occasionally.

To reach inhabited places, you still need to travel a long distance.

The princess grew up in the palace and lived a pampered life. Naturally, she had never walked such a long and difficult road.

However, even though her feet were already in unbearable pain, she gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.

Every time Nier asked the princess if she was tired, she would answer without hesitation, "No."

Her firm tone seemed to tell Nier that no matter how difficult the journey was, she could persevere.

In this way, they walked step by step, and time passed by unknowingly.

The sun gradually set, and the afterglow dyed the sky orange-red.

Finally, after a whole day of arduous journey, they finally arrived at a populated place.

The streets here are bustling with people coming and going.

Vegetable vendors were tidying up their stalls, preparing to close up and go home; fishermen were cleaning their fish baskets and removing the fishy smell; and some grain merchants were loading bags of grain onto carriages, preparing to ship them elsewhere.

Nier and the princess dressed up as men and walked on the street.

Due to the long walk, their steps seemed a little heavy and their speed was getting slower and slower.

Unable to walk any further, Nier decided to ask a passerby if there was a place to rest and stay nearby.

She randomly picked up an older woman and asked, "Excuse me, is there a place to stay for the night?"

The passerby pointed casually, and Ni'er looked in the direction he pointed, and saw an inn not far away.

"Thank you." Nier thanked him quickly, then took the princess towards the inn.

The two bought some meat buns on the street and brought them into the inn.

Finally lying in bed.

The princess couldn't help but close her eyes.

Nier leaned close to the princess's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, you must not sleep too soundly! I've heard there are some unknown black shops in this area that prey on passing travelers."

The princess was originally in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and when the two words "black shop" exploded in her ears like a thunder, she woke up instantly.

The princess suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at Nier nervously and said seriously, "Okay, Nier, I understand. How about this, you go and rest first, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you can come back later to take my place."

Nier nodded and lay on the bed. Her breathing gradually became steady and she fell asleep soon.

The princess sat down on the chair quietly, afraid that any noise would wake up Nier.

She knew that if Nier didn't sleep well, the next day's schedule would definitely be affected.

Ever since the princess secretly followed Nie'er to the front line without telling anyone, she has experienced many hardships she had never experienced before.

Now, they lived in such a shabby, small room that smelled of mold. The princess couldn't help but worry that this place might be a shady shop.

The princess sat quietly. There was silence all around her. She could only hear her own and Nier's light breathing.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the noise outside, but she could hear nothing except the sound of the wind.

The princess's thoughts gradually drifted away, and she thought of her brother Li.

If Brother Li found out that he and Ni'er were missing, he would definitely be extremely worried.

However, before leaving, the princess left him a letter detailing her whereabouts and reasons.

Following Nier out, the princess felt particularly safe.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this.

Since no one has come to take me back to the palace so far, it means that my mother and His Majesty also approve of Ni'er.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

However, after sitting like this for a long time, my waist started to ache, but I couldn't stand up and walk around at will. After all, my current situation was still a bit delicate.

I could only continue to sit there helplessly, occasionally looking at the dark sky outside the window, estimating the time in my mind, and feeling that it was almost time for the shift change.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, the princess yawned one after another, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier as if weighed down by lead.

But she knew very well that she must not fall asleep.

So she forced herself to be alert and pinched her thigh hard. The pain made her sober up a little.

But this was only temporary. Not long after, the tiredness came back like a tide.

Unable to hold on any longer, the princess finally decided to stand up and slowly walked to the bed.

The princess deliberately moved lightly, but Nier was always a very light sleeper, and even the slightest sound would wake her up immediately.

As soon as the princess walked to the bed, Nie'er opened her eyes.

"You go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Ni'er said.

"Okay." The princess responded, turned over to the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. The princess slowly opened her eyes and looked to the side as usual, only to find that Nier was not in the room.

The princess' heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came over her.

Her mind began to wander, countless possible scenarios flashing through her mind: Had Nier encountered some danger? Or had someone taken her away? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She quickly sat up in bed, hurriedly put on her clothes, and prepared to get out of bed to look for Nier.

Just then, the door was pushed open and Nier walked in.

She was holding a bag in her hand, which exuded a tempting fragrance.

The princess' attention was instantly drawn to it, and her stomach began to growl uncontrollably.

"What is this delicious food? It smells so good?" the princess asked impatiently.

Nier smiled, put the bag on the table, opened it and saw a few steaming buns and some golden pies inside.

"I bought some buns and some pies. Eat them quickly so you can continue your journey."

The princess almost drooled when she saw these delicacies.

She didn't care about her image, grabbed a bun and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it in big mouthfuls.

The buns tasted amazing, the fillings were juicy and I couldn’t stop eating them.

Nier couldn't help laughing as she watched the princess wolfing down the food.
