Chapter 308: Doron! Get me the fastest horse, I'll go first!
The headless horseman's attack again has brought a huge impact to this already panicked valley town. In the panic, many families began to pack their belongings and prepare to leave here for refuge.
Because no one knows if they will be the next target. If you are facing a murderous beast, you will always find a way to get rid of it, but if you are facing a murderous headless horseman, then what can ordinary people do? They can't do anything but escape.
That night, Miss Trisna took the initiative to talk to Charlotte and ask about the progress of the investigation, and she also wanted to leave.
Things like the Headless Horseman's killing are basically considered natural disasters, and people don't have any other ideas.
If someone dies due to natural disasters such as floods, lightning, or landslides, do you still want to take revenge on nature? In the eyes of these people, the Headless Horseman is undoubtedly the same as these natural disasters.
Charlotte reassured her first, claiming that some things had not been investigated clearly, and asked her to stabilize first.
But that night, Freddy sneaked into Charlotte's dream and told him what he had seen along the way with the Headless Horseman.
Charlotte listened and didn't sleep all night. I didn't close my eyes. He kept thinking about these things, and at last dawn, he had to admit that his manpower was running out. He said to his friends: "Friends, I'm really sorry, we may not be able to control this matter. Don't ask why, I'll give you an explanation......"
So saying, he got up and went to find Miss Trisna......
"Miss Trisna, I'm sorry! We can't handle this anymore. The power behind it is too huge, and I'm afraid we won't be able to help Lord Moxi avenge it. Don't think about it, hurry up and pack up your belongings and hide in King's Landing! The sooner the better......"
After saying that, Charlotte turned and left, ignoring Miss Trisna's words behind her......
The Galactic Rocket team rushed to the carriage early in the morning and left in a hurry. This made the townspeople of Terry, who had been paying attention to them, even more uneasy.
The strength of this group of adventurer squads is above bronze, if even they can't solve it, then I'm afraid there will be big trouble!
Miss Trisna hid in her room and wept secretly, but after all, people have to rely on themselves, she is a businessman who has been working hard for many years, not a simple young lady in the boudoir. She quickly perked herself up, beckoned her servants and maids to pack up her things, and prepared to go to King's Landing early tomorrow morning to take refuge.
She will try to find the help of adventurers or the temple church, but if this matter is really impossible to handle, then she can only give up......
In this world, if you can't master power, then you will reap nothing......
Time passed quickly, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting dark. In Lord Moxie's courtyard, many of the deliveries have already been packed, waiting to be loaded into the carriage early tomorrow morning, and the group will leave Terry Town. It is conceivable that they will not be coming back anytime soon.
The old servant of the old Moxie family, who had lived in Terry Town for decades and had never left, had silently packed his belongings. When he is old, he has to leave his hometown and live a hasty life that he doesn't know the way forward.
People are cheap when they leave their homes. It's the same thing everywhere.
In the evening, Miss Trisna forced herself to go to her stepmother's room.
This woman named Ursula Anders, Trisna has always disliked her.
For her father marrying a stepmother who is more than ten years older than herself, Trisina naturally does not feel very good. She has always been hostile to this stepmother, Ursula. She felt that the reason why this Ursula would marry a man 20 years older than herself was just for money.
But now, there is no one else in the house, and the only two weak women left huddle together to keep warm. This mustard should also be put down.
And the property left by his father's death is inherited by himself. If this woman doesn't want to be swept away. She should know what she's going to do......
Trisna knocked on her stepmother, Ursula's door.
After a while, Ursula opened the door, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she seemed to be hiding in the house and crying.
Trisna felt better about her, and he felt that Ursula would at least cry for her father no matter what. There should be some feelings.
"It's Trisna, come in." Ula's voice was a little hoarse, and there was some silence throughout her, which was not the same as the sharp mouth of the past.
In the past, this woman was very eloquent, and a little mean, and she never had any scruples to speak. But now it seems that the death of Master Moxie has dealt her a big blow.
The two women sat down in the room, neither of them saying a word, and for a moment the scene fell silent.
Soon, Trisna was ready to break the deadlock, and she said bluntly, "Now that my father has died, we can't stay in Terry anymore, so we have to abandon this place, take our possessions, and go to King's Landing." Although there are some industries there, they are not hometowns after all, and it seems that in the future, the two of us will depend on each other......"
Trisina's attitude was very sincere, and she apologized to her stepmother: "I was ignorant before, I apologize to you, I hope you don't take it to heart." In the future, we can live together in King's Landing if you wish. If you don't want to, I'll give you a sum of money to live the life you want......"
Ursula was a little stunned when she heard this. Maybe she didn't expect that Cui Sina, who used to treat her coldly, would actually say this!
Her expression was somewhat moved, but it quickly calmed down again, and she looked at Trisna's eyes very strangely, very complicated.
She put down the handkerchief in her hand and said slowly: "Trisna, I didn't expect you to choose to take me in......"
She didn't know what was in her mind, but suddenly she smiled again, "Well, I'll tell you a story......" Without waiting for Trisna to speak, she began to tell herself......
The story takes place in a small town in the middle of nowhere. A husband and wife who had lived a prosperous life, a harmonious family, and no worries about food and clothing, soon they had a daughter.
But happiness is always short-lived, and pain is long-lasting.
The man was deceived by his partner in his business and lost his fortune.
This family of three was persecuted by the big people in the town, and their houses, land and shops were confiscated, and finally they had to leave the country penniless.
The man died of an old illness not long after, and the hostess was forced to become a prostitute in order to raise her daughter......
And the partner who deceived the man, his business grew bigger and bigger, annexed a lot of land, and became the largest landowner in the town.
In his later years, this man even began to do good deeds, helping friends and neighbors. But will it erase his past sins? Who are you going to repay for the justice of a family of three?
Ursula looked at Trisna at the mouth of some wells, and her eyes were the same as the indifference of a carnivore staring at its prey. Trisna tried to escape, but she was so weak that she couldn't move!
"Trisna, you know what? The books on black sorcery that interest you the most in your room are the collection of the hostess. She loves black witchcraft...... And the little daughter, after the tragic death of her parents one after another, was displaced. Finally finding a chance, she intends to take revenge! ”
"She used the pseudonym Ursula and married the enemy who ruined her family as a step-......"
Then Ursula stood up, pacing lightly in the room, and continued in Trishna's frightened eyes, "...... She is very patient, she has been in this family for 3 years and she is always looking for opportunities. Not only did she have to kill the enemy she had been, but she also wanted to kill the accomplices who had favored the enemy and forced her parents away! ”
Ursula burst out laughing, crying as she laughed!
She said, "Suddenly one day, I heard a voice! Under the guidance of that voice, the obscure and complicated black magic of the past suddenly seemed to understand! Thereupon...... So the Headless Horseman came. ”
Ursula opened the compartment in her cupboard and pulled out a somewhat blackened skull.
It was the pitch-black skull in front of her that gave her hope for revenge and let her see the light in the torment of hatred.
Ursula gently stroked the skull in her hand, crying and laughing as if she were crazy...... 10
