Chapter 259: The Countess (3)
On the way back, Catherine didn't say anything.
She knew that she felt sorry for Rose, and she was grateful that Rose was injured for herself, but she was also afraid of Rose.
Especially the way Rose dragged the corpse, she would tremble when she saw it.
She felt a little sick when she thought that Rose was likely to eat the corpse......
"Afraid of me?"
Rose said expressionlessly: "In such a harsh environment now, if everyone is afraid of you, this is a good thing. But don't worry, I won't hurt you, even if I starve to death, I won't eat you. β
"I, I ......"
Catherine hesitated for a moment before she said, "I wanted to ask you why you didn't want that person's food." β
"Because you can't eat it. β
Rose shook her head and said, "No one else knows what the food is made of, but I do. Because I've seen them make their food, I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid you'll be even more disgusting. β
"But I want to hear it!"
Catherine gritted her teeth, thinking that the worst was only human flesh, and she couldn't be more disgusting, "Rose, please tell me. β
"Okay. β
Rose nodded, and it seemed that her expression would be more when she was with Catherine: "Johnson's wife is a dark mage who can manipulate some dark creatures. In our cognition, rats and some insects are so-called dark creatures. So, Johnson's wife even knows which rats are disease-free and which insects that can reproduce quickly are also edible. While Johnson was the one who fed the street with the food of these disgusting people, God knows if his wife of that black mage had put a curse on the food. So, I'd rather eat these corpses than eat that kind of thing. And you see, we're all growing and should eat more meat. β
Wow......
Catherine finally couldn't help it anymore and threw up against the wall.
"Who allowed you to throw up?"
Rose's gaze suddenly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If there is a next time, if you vomit something, you must give it back to me! Because you are wasting precious food! Even the bread you ate today was snatched from someone else's hands, and I paid the price of blood in order to grab that half of the bread that can smash people's headaches!"
Talking.
She pulled back her shirt, and the blood marks on her fair skin were shocking.
"I'm sorry!"
Catherine felt that she had done a terrible mistake and bowed her head and admitted that she had made a mistake.
"There will be no next time!"
Rose said sternly, "Otherwise, I'll eat you!"
"There won't be a next time. β
Catherine didn't know why, she wasn't afraid of Rose anymore, she even felt that Rose's strictness was faked.
Because her instincts told her that when Rose was silent, it was the most terrifying time.
Although they had only known each other for less than two hours, she seemed to know each other very well.
"Let's go back. β
Rose didn't tie her shirt either, and turned to leave.
Catherine hurriedly followed, hesitated for a moment, and then bent down to pick up the young man's arm, carrying it with Rose.
"You have a lot of strength. Rose said suddenly.
Catherine nodded, "Yes, our family has a tradition of women from Rong, and I have been learning swordsmanship since I was a child. β
"Then why did you almost get stabbed by that soldier?" asked Rose.
Catherine smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid, so my body doesn't obey." β
"It has been said that there is no word for timidity in the dictionary of the aristocracy. β
Rose said, "And we can't have fear in our dictionary, or we'll be eaten by others." β
"With you, I won't be afraid. β
Catherine squinted her eyes and smiled, tilting her head slightly, looking very cute.
Rose was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You're so beautiful." β
"You're also beautiful, especially your eyes. Catherine said.
"Only one of us qualifies as beautiful. Rose looked at Catherine's long blond hair with some nostalgia.
Once, she also had such long hair.
But when fighting, long hair is a weakness, so she cut it off.
Not long after, they returned to the dilapidated house.
The firewood in the campfire was still burning, so there were no rats around.
In fact, it is also because of the existence of Johnson's dark magic wife, so there are very few rats on this street.
Back in the dilapidated room, Catherine looked at it seriously.
The room was broken but very clean.
Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any peculiar smell.
"Actually, I'm lazy, but I still clean my room every day because rats don't like clean environments," Rose said. β
"What is he going to do? β
Catherine was no longer very afraid of the corpse, and he suddenly said in front of the young man's corpse, "Rose, are we really going to eat him?"
"Yes, you have to eat it. β
Rose said, "Because it's the cleanest food I've ever found......"
There was some sadness in her voice, and when she looked at Catherine, she felt a little more pity inexplicably, "But don't worry, I will protect you, definitely." β
"I'm going to protect you too. β
Catherine walked up to Rose, looked at the blood on her chest, and gently touched it with her hand, "This, it must hurt, right?"
Fortunately, the wound has healed and there are no signs of infection.
As an aristocrat, especially a female aristocrat, Catherine had to learn a lot from an early age.
Among them, there is how to deal with wounds.
"Hmmm......"
Rose's body trembled, her face turned a little red, and she said in a low voice: "Don't touch it, you can't touch it, even if you are a woman." β
"Oh, I'm sorry, I ran into you, my Scarlet Rose. Catherine often joked with the aristocratic ladies, after all, they were all maidens to be married, and there was no curiosity yet.
So Catherine still knows a lot in some ways.
At the very least, she knows how men and women should have children.
How did she know?
Of course, it was to peek at her brother and the maid messing around.
The aristocratic circle, in fact, is sometimes full of mud.
"Don't make a fuss!"
Rose's eyes widened, and she hurriedly tied her clothes as she said, "Our family's bloodline is special, and the wound can heal quickly. β
"Really?"
Catherine stretched out her hand and untied her clothes again, and saw that the wound on her shoulder was indeed half healed.
It's really amazing.
Is she really an angel?
Even if she doesn't admit it, she is her own guardian angel!
Catherine thought and laughed.
As if she could read other people's minds, Rose said, "I'm not an angel, because angels don't eat people, I'm a demon!"
"Okay. β
Catherine said indifferently: "Even if you are really a demon, but in my heart, you are an angel." β
"Don't talk nonsense, let's work!"
Rose pulls out a set of knives and begins to dispose of the corpse.
"You have to get the blood out first. β
"At Johnson's, blood can be exchanged for weapons and food, but we don't need that food, so I always only exchange weapons. β
"What's the use of blood?"
Catherine was stunned and said, "Could it be that Johnson is an evil bloodline?"
"Why are the Blood Clans evil?" Rose said, "At least, among the known Blood Clans on the mainland, only a few Blood Clans will turn humans into Blood Slaves, and most of the Blood Clans actually don't harm ordinary people. In our family's territory, there was once a blood family, and they were the best healers in the territory. Sadly, the damned knights of light found them and crucified them. Otherwise, even if a disaster breaks out, they will definitely be able to help. β
"Your family is mysterious. β
Catherine smiled faintly, squatted there and asked curiously, "What else do you have to do after the bloodletting?"
"Shaved. β
"I usually shave the meat, roast it, and put it in an air-drying box, so that if it is made into jerky, it can be stored for a longer period of time," Rose said. The rest of the bones and entrails, I will take them near the castle and bring out the nobles' dogs, or the cats of some noble lady, they are all food. β
I see......
Catherine didn't have a good feeling in her heart, because she had lost one of her dogs and a cat, and it seemed that she had been poisoned by Rose.
But it didn't matter, she wouldn't be angry with Rose.
Even vomiting will feel that it is a waste of people, and it is normal to eat anything.
Next.
The two girls got busy.
In the face of such a bloody scene, Catherine went from being scared and disgusted at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it later, and it only took ten minutes.
To Rose's surprise, she thought Catherine would keep throwing up and be scared.
In fact, Catherine herself was very surprised, she was not very bold, and it could even be said that she was very small.
But strangely, by Rose's side, she became brave.
In the moonlight, Catherine and Rose climbed up the house and sat on the roof looking up at the moonlight.
It had been a long time since there had been such a bright moonlight, and Catherine remembered that the last time she sat in the castle like this and watched the moonlight was more than a month ago.
Since the outbreak of the Black Death, it seems that the rat colony can even obscure the light from the sky.
Rose took a piece of roasted meat, tore off one and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, while saying, "In fact, the truth of many things is not what we know. β
"What do you mean?" asked Catherine.
Rose shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I just want to say that." β
Catherine nodded and said, "When do you think the Black Death will end?"
"I don't know. Rose shook her head and said, "Maybe when most of them die, the Black Death will die with them." β
Catherine asked, "Don't you believe in God?"
"It's not that I don't believe, it's that I know that there is no God at all. β
Rose said, "The gods of your mouth are nothing but the conspiracies of the conspirators. And the real gods may exist, but they are only very powerful people, and it is not what we understand that God is the creator of the world, but it is just a means to deceive people. If God was able to create the world, how could he bear to see the world He created suffer such a catastrophe?"
"I believe in you. β
Catherine is actually a devout believer, but she also finds some problems.
The knights always said that it represented justice, and even if it was the execution of a person, they would say that it represented the will of the gods.
When there is a catastrophe in this world, some people will ask the fanatics, why doesn't your God come to save you, and the fanatics will say that because this calamity is divine punishment.
Everything is too much like a schemer of the schemes.
Born in a noble family, she can become a countess when she becomes an adult, and she is a countess with a fief, which shows the strength of the Catherine family.
Living in such a family, if Catherine doesn't know how to scheming, then she is really too naΓ―ve.
