Chapter 115: Denounce the Wizard
Everyone wiped it off a little and went to sleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lying in bed, some people complained, either that others were too stinky or that they were too stinky. It's only been one day, and I really don't know what it's like to go without a shower for the rest of my life.
Legel shouted: "Don't say it, you know, some people don't wash it even if they have rotten gangrene on their faces, even if maggots wriggle on it, in order to get the name of a saint." We are here to save our lives, so bear with us! ”
What kind of terrible Middle Ages is this, it is better to travel to the Stone Age with a stone axe, and the people at that time must have been a little cleaner than the people now.
Another day began, and everyone walked to the cemetery together after eating milk cereal. Seeing that the soil was still not moving, Ted had not yet climbed out.
Regel looked left and right at everyone asking for advice: "So I dug it?" ”
"I'll do it!" Gordon took the shovel: "You have a lot of strength, don't shovel Ted back to the grave with another shovel that is about to come back to life." ”
So Gordon took matters into his own hands and began to dig the earth. Halfway through the dig, Rudolph jumped as well: "Go ahead and take your time." ”
The two of them slowly cleared the soil with their hands and the wooden handle of the shovel, and finally arrived at the corpse.
When the still scorched head was revealed, everyone sighed. Ted was burned through, and he really couldn't live.
I heard an exclamation from outside the wall not far away, "Ah~", the voice was very soft, and it seemed to cover his mouth immediately.
Gordon immediately closed his eyes, and his face showed anxiety: "It's miserable, it's a villager." He had climbed to the top of the wall about a moment ago, and now he had run with a panicked face. ”
It's terrible, they dig up the grave and surround a charred corpse, and they are doing terrible witchcraft.
Legel sighed: "It's over, everything around here will be counted on our heads, what pregnant women have miscarriages, which families have defective children, even the death of sows, fruit trees with insects, chickens can't lay eggs, we also practice witchcraft." ”
Jeffrey looked left and right: "Are we going to be burned to death?" Or let's run away! ”
Rudolph sneered: "That's fine, it's up to who can survive the medieval interrogation." That's the fairest way to do it! ”
Regel smiled bitterly: "Do you want to be stripped naked and punished?" Just one torture instrument can make life worse than death. ”
"Then find a way!" Cheng Qianxun didn't want to go through this, so he immediately said: "If you don't want to leave your life here and go outside to be a street rat like a fugitive, hurry up and find a way." ”
"I saw it, I saw them digging up the grave, and the burned wizard was lying in it. They must be ready to perform some terrible and evil witchcraft! The villagers who denounced him kept talking to the fat monk that in the days when there were no toothbrushes, his rotten teeth were stinking with a mouthful of rotten.
"My child!" The monk couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him away a little with his hand: "We'll figure it out, we will." ”
Behind him, the angry villagers talked about the misfortune of the family: "Two of my chickens died in one night, and all of them were bitten off their necks, they must have killed the chickens and sacrificed their blood to Satan." "My roof is broken, it must have been broken by the Oriental witch riding a broom on the roof of my house at night."
Anyway, try to say that maybe because of the persecution of these "evil" people, you can get some compensation from the church. Of course, the money for this reparation is the property of this evil manor.
The manor house is located on a small hill, condescendingly, and belongs to the standard geographical location of the aristocratic class to build houses.
The monks and the villagers were panting and almost reached the gate, but they did not expect the gate to open first.
Inside the door, a carriage slowly drove out, with two noble lords sitting on it and a groom in front of it.
"Do they want to slip away?" The villagers who whistled immediately cried out.
Snead ignored the villager completely, and got out of the carriage and greeted him with a smile: "Oh, my dearest monk, we are going to the church to find you!" ”
It was impossible to flee with only three people, including the farmer and the noblewoman of the East and the son of the groom. The monk then tried to calm himself and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"It's the butler who became a wizard!" Sneijder hooked the monk's shoulders and walked inside: "When we brought his body back to bury it, we found that the body of the former butler was missing, and it was indeed the same person. ”
The monk immediately raised his chest and said vividly, "Look, that's it! ”
Snead continued: "We couldn't sleep at night, and it was useless to pray. Later, when my brother was dazed, he seemed to hear a voice from heaven, saying that the wizard had not burned thoroughly enough, and that he must burn like the bald wizard. So we dug him up from the cemetery in the morning, but we didn't think it was going to work, so we went out to ask you to pray. ”
At this time, he had already entered the gate, and firewood was piled up in the center of the courtyard, and a charred corpse was placed on the firewood pile. It may be too ugly, so he is covered with a white cloth, revealing only two skinny feet that have shrunk from the burn. The other three were sitting around the firewood, their hands crossed over their chests, their heads hanging slightly, their eyes closed, praying incessantly.
Seeing his Latin Bible placed on his body's chest, coupled with Sneiard's explanation: "We pressed him with the holy Bible, and he must have risen again." ”
The monk was so happy that he was once again showing the power of God.
The fire was lit again, and the monk slowly circled the fire with a prayer, and right beside the fire, as the monk chanted a word, Cheng Qianxun watched with sorrow as Ted's body turned to ashes in the fire.
When there was still fire in the fire, Sneijder said to Gordon and Rudolph, "You two send the monks back to church." ”
You don't have to go by yourself, of course the monk will. After he got into the carriage, Sneijder whispered, "Dear monk, you have worked hard. There is a little bit of meaning at your feet, hoping to show our devotion to our Heavenly Father. ”
The monk looked down and saw several fine pieces of porcelain in the carriage, with saucers and vases. Oriental porcelain was very valuable in this era, even more valuable than silver. He immediately burst into laughter: "Oh, Heavenly Father must feel your loyalty. ”
That's it? One of the unruly village women said unwillingly: "Monk, what about the roof of my house? ”
"Come on!" The monk sat in the carriage and waved his hand impatiently: "How long has it been since the roof of your house was repaired?" It wasn't a witch on a broom at all, you still urge your lazy man to take the time to climb up and fix it. And your chickens, they must have been done by weasels, and they all drove into the house at night and they wouldn't die when they looked at them. The people here are upright and kind people who believe in the Father, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense and frame such good people. ”
Sneijder immediately chimed in: "Oh, yes, dearest monk. We will be sure to take your advice and show our devotion to the church! ”
The monk, who had already reaped the benefits, said with satisfaction: "Then disperse, groom, let's go!" ”
Rudolph then raised his whip and whipped it over the two horses. The horse walked up!
When the villagers saw that the matter was over, they could only disperse. But there was something to talk about in the evening, and on a night when there was no television or other entertainment, it was far more interesting to talk about re-burning the charred body of a wizard than to hug the unbathed, stinking carrion flesh "popping". Moreover, in the Middle Ages, when medical conditions were backward, the mortality rate of children must have been alarmingly high, and living was also an extra mouth and an added burden.
When he returned, Jeffrey said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you afraid that Rudolph will go to the whistle? ”
Cheng Qianxun scolded softly: "Didn't Gordon follow? ”
Jeffrey sneered: "Gordon? He's an idiot, and he can't even compare to me, let alone this sinister old pervert. ”
Legel, who was standing next to him, also scolded: "Be careful when you speak, who is the idiot?" Don't forget that you're the most suspicious! ”
"Didn't you just sneak out and play?" Jeffrey's tongue became sharper and sharper: "This time Rudolph is out, and when the monk comes to burn us with a large bunch of stinky meat, can I get rid of it?" Just wait for which of us will be burned first, and the remaining half-burned ones will win! ”
Jeffrey looked sideways at Cheng Qianxun: "I heard that women and children die first, and women have more fat than men." ”
"Shut up!" Cheng Qianxun's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he scolded angrily: "If I were your mother, I would have beaten your stomach with my hands and beat you down when you were only the size of a potato, even if there was no hospital." ”
Snead slammed the door shut and walked over: "After a busy day, we are busy burning corpses, at least Ted has let us take away another catastrophe after his death." Let's prepare dinner! ”
"When Rudolph returns, I'll look through what is worth here." Cheng Qianxun felt both atmospheric and sad when he thought of the vases and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty: "Maybe this bastard will come again soon, and then he needs to use the 'faith' of wealth to plug his greed." ”
About half an hour later, Gordon and Rudolph returned in the carriage, and it was already past three o'clock in the sky.
This climate should be in autumn, and it will be dark around six o'clock. So you have to speed up, you can't wait until it's dark and work in the dark.
I didn't eat much for breakfast, and I was already hungry. Eggs are used for tomato scrambled eggs, which is also considered a dish; Brown bread and butter, half-hard skin of dried meat boiled in water, cabbage and potatoes to boil soup.
Sitting at the table, everyone was eating and thinking about what would happen next, and which would be the unlucky turn.
It's as if everyone has the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, danger can come at any time, and death is everywhere.
After eating, Sneijder said very boredly: "I must not be able to sleep when I go up now, or how about we play cards?" ”
"There's no playing card here." Cheng Qianxun poured a small basin of hot water into the bathroom. It's not allowed to take a shower here, and you can't even wash your face, but you can always wipe it secretly in your private area, and no one else can see it there anyway. If you don't wipe it every day, I really don't know what it will stink. I don't know how those people can endure it, and I feel that medieval love doesn't exist at all.
After the shuffle came out, seeing that several people were actually playing cards, Regel took out a card and explained: "There were cards more than a hundred years ago, how about it, let's play together!" ”
"Idle is idle anyway, play!" Cheng Qianxun put down the basin casually and joined in with great interest. (To be continued.) )
