Chapter 138: Coming Stealth
It's been burned for so long and it's not dead, but it's still alive! There was a scream of terror from the crowd, many others bowed their heads, and some covered their mouths or eyes with their hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
may be fulfilling the old saying that evil has evil retribution, but Cheng Qianxun knows that this retribution does not come from heaven, but from Satan. This bastard deserves it, and even Satan thinks it should be burned for a while longer.
When the pitch-black, charred thing finally hung its head and swallowed its last breath, one of its burned legs snapped and fell into the still slowly burning fire.
The rain just stopped, and there was a "boom", and the fire was in the screams of the people, and the original small fire rose up in an unnatural state as if it had been poured with fire oil, engulfing the charred corpse and burning violently.
When the apprentices saw all this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and prayed and repented, begging for forgiveness.
The burner was burned, and Regel handed over the ladder tax to the church to appease the frightened probationary clergy, and then went back.
The carriage moved slowly, and before it was dark and the road was still clear, it should be possible to return to the manor.
Cheng Qianxun's mood is very complicated, she really can't tell where hell is. The people here live really not as good as pigs and dogs, their conscience is almost extinguished, and they seem to be able to sell anything except to try to live. In a short period of time, she almost didn't recognize herself. ordered the peasants who could not pay their taxes to be whipped, and consulted with his teammates to frame the monk and burn him at the stake...
The wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver, and the drizzle just now drenched her clothes slightly.
An arm reached over and wrapped its grip around her trembling body. She looked sideways, and it was Sneijder. Sneijder's handsome face smiled slightly, giving her great comfort.
Regel, who was sitting across from him, looked at them and didn't say anything.
The carriage was about to reach the gate, when suddenly the carriage stopped.
Regel asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The thug in front of him said: "A fallen tree is blocked in the middle of the road, don't worry, sir, you can move it soon." Several thugs ran to the front and began to move the trunk together.
Cheng Qianxun felt a little strange, how could the tree fall without a strong wind, and the leaves of this tree were lush and green, not like it fell in the middle.
She looked at the roots of the tree, which had obviously been cut by someone, and the stump was uneven where it was broken... She suddenly thought of something, and immediately said loudly: "Get down!" ”
I only heard a "bang", and a tree trunk that was hanging from the rope shook violently from the side, and collided with the people in the carriage. Fortunately, the three of them lowered their heads in time and lay on the carriage, and the heavy tree trunk shook over their heads. If you are still sitting, the impact of this tree trunk will come down, hit your head, and you will be crippled if you don't die.
Rudolph, who was following behind the car, immediately drew his sword, watched vigilantly from side to side, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
Seeing that something was wrong, the thugs sped up the carrying, and after pushing and kicking the trunk away, Rudolph urged: "Hurry, hurry back!" ”
"Drive, drive!" The thugs then jerked their horses so hard that the wagon drove as fast as they could towards the manor, while the other thugs slowly ran behind.
"Open the door, open the door!" Reggle and Snead also got out of the carriage and opened the gate with the groom.
When he saw the door close again, Cheng Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt much safer.
Everyone went upstairs, Cheng Qianxun hastily changed his clothes and went to the study, and everyone also changed their clothes and came over.
"It has to be Jeffrey." Reger said angrily: "Fortunately, it was in the Middle Ages, and there was no way to find more weapons, so I came up with such a method. ”
Now an ordinary farmer probably can't even get a decent kitchen knife, and it seems that poverty has the benefits of poverty.
"What now?" Cheng Qianxun felt more and more that time was pressing, the external threat was temporarily lifted, and burning a monk to death should allow them to rest for a day or two. Jeffrey also felt that this pressure existed, or that life outside was making him miserable and unbearable, so he wanted to get rid of one of them as soon as possible so that the game could be over sooner.
"Increase the bounty!" Sneijder said, "Ten gold coins, dead or alive." ”
Ten gold coins is enough to buy a large piece of land, and you can be a master comfortably. This bounty was enough to make the poor man who couldn't fill his stomach go crazy and turn the outside upside down, trying every means to catch this ginseng doll-like treasure.
Ten gold coins, of course, there is no money, but as long as Jeffrey dies, everything here will be over, and there is no need to worry about whether the bounty can be paid.
Someone came knocking on the door, and it turned out that the thugs and house slaves had all returned, and only the small door was opened, allowing them to enter in turn, to make sure that not a single invisible devil would be put in.
The situation is in their favor, the walls are high, and there are constant guards at the gates. Inside the walls, the food doesn't taste good, but at least it's enough to feed and clothe you. They didn't have to do anything, they just sat down and discussed how to save their lives.
Jeffrey, on the other hand, had to go hungry during the day and find a place to escape the cold of the night at night. The autumn night was already a little cold, and if there was no house to live in, and there was no haystack, he did not dare to make a fire, for fear of being seen, it must be uncomfortable.
After the bounty was set, as soon as I told the thugs, they took the first step to light the torches, and each of them had two golden eyes, and they didn't even sleep to go out to find the invisible little wizard.
Someone helped to find it, someone watched at the door, and they could sleep with peace of mind. Even if it is a bunk, it is far better than sleeping outside.
When the light became brighter and brighter, and the closed eyelids could feel the bright light, Cheng Qianxun knew that she had slept late again.
She slowly opened her eyes, but was shocked to see a sharp knife appear directly above her, the tip of the knife was only about two feet away from her, right in the head...
"Ah~" she screamed and rolled to the side, and the sharp knife stabbed down and stabbed on the pillow where she had just slept. Then the knife was drawn and continued to stab at her.
"Ah, help, the invisible devil is coming... Cheng Qianxun shouted for help, and he couldn't see the person with the knife at all, so he could only look at the direction from which the sharp knife came from, and dodged in embarrassment. If you have anything in your hand, you throw it in the general direction of the person holding the knife.
Sure enough, there were people there, and some of the things that had been thrown over were removed.
"Help, come on!" Cheng Qianxun wanted to escape from the room, but the sharp knife arrived at the door extremely quickly, blocking the door. The doorknob was pressed against the back of a chair, apparently trying to kill her in the house.
"Cheng, what's wrong?" It was Sneijder's voice. The doorknob turned, but it wouldn't open.
"Help, help me!" Cheng Qianxun screamed, watching in horror as the sharp knife approached her little by little, even if he couldn't see Jeffrey's face, he could imagine that his face was hideous at this time.
Can't die, she can't die! Cheng Qianxun looked left and right to find something that could be resisted, and saw some cosmetics on the cabinet behind him. Lead powder and perfume were common among the aristocracy, and perfume could hide body odor when bathing was not allowed, while lead powder could wipe dirty faces white.
So he grabbed the lead powder, opened the box and threw all the powder in the box like a sprinkle of lime.
Where the dust fell, there was a "sneeze", and a human figure was revealed.
With a "bang", the door was knocked away, and Regel's tall figure rushed in: "Cheng! ”
Rudolph and Sneijder followed, both of whom saw a blurry figure draped in white powder, as if wiping their eyes and sneezing.
"He's right here!" Cheng Qianxun picked up the perfume and opened the lid while shouting.
Seeing that something was wrong, Jeffrey immediately turned around and jumped up the window.
"Don't let him escape!" Everyone rushed to the window, only to see a vague white shadow, which had jumped to the ground. I can only hate that they live on the second floor, and the downstairs is muddy.
But the height was still there, and Jeffrey rolled around on the ground, and he could see a lot of powder spilled on the ground.
Cheng Qianxun hurriedly put the perfume bottle in his hand and poured all the perfume inside against the powdered figure.
Rudolph jumped on the ledge and jumped off with great skill; The other men jumped off as well. Jeffrey saw that he didn't know how to do it, and immediately fled, and at this time he had less and less powder on his body, and kept shaking off the powder on his body as he fled.
The speed of the three teammates was already fast, but halfway through the chase, Jeffrey's trace disappeared completely, and the sharp knife was thrown to the ground.
Cheng Qianxun ran down from the upstairs and ran all the way to his teammates, panting slightly: "He's here now, what should I do now?" ”
"It must have come in with the carriage last night." Rudolph bent down and picked up the sharp knife, which was the knife in the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" Many of the house slaves heard the sound and ran out.
"Go find some hounds, right away!" Cheng Qianxun immediately shouted, she shook the empty bottle of perfume in her hand: "I poured the perfume on the invisible demon, as soon as everyone smells the fragrance, he must be nearby." ”
"Go catch him, kill him!" Rudolph said loudly: "Dead or alive, reward ten gold coins, he is here, the door is closed, and he can't get out." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic. With a fortune of ten gold coins to counteract their fear of the Invisible Wizard, they picked up all kinds of tools at their disposal and began to rummage through the yards and houses.
Jeffrey can only steal himself, but he can't eliminate other items, and he can see it with a weapon in his hand, but he still can't be underestimated. He is ruthless, and he may be able to cause harm to people by grabbing something on the ground. For example, a stone can hit the head, and a tree branch can stick an eye!
Rudolph thought for a moment and said, "Go to the vegetable patch." ”
Several people stood in the middle of a potato field, looking around warily. Whenever someone comes in, they will always push away the dense ground stems and leaves, and you can know that Jeffrey is sneaking closer. And all the people in the manor are looking around with weapons, and some people have gone out to look for dogs.
She was almost stabbed to death by a knife just now, so close to death, Cheng Qianxun's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Sneijder looked at Cheng Qianxun, who was still shocked, stretched out his hand to hug her, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will find him." (To be continued.) )
