Chapter 31: God's Trial
Follow Mu Yi's instructions. Father Thomas asked a monk to fetch a clean dagger and a torch. Fr. Thomas. The blade of the dagger is carefully baked on top of the torch. Until the metal blade is glowing a faint blue. Father Thomas just gave up.
Pour clean drinking water over the freshly heated and sterilized dagger." Whoop. A white mist poured up. This series of actions by Father Thomas can be seen. He is a very attentive person. Perhaps it is because of his rich life experience and the principle of being careful in dealing with things. The village of Orange has survived so many people. But human power is weak after all. It is believed that the village of Orange wants to return to its former prosperous appearance. It will take at least a few decades to be possible.
Father Thomas crouched down. Raise Osmon's tied right hand slightly. Then he gently stabbed Osmond on the index finger of his right hand with the tip of his sterilized dagger. Maybe it's because it's too cautious. Father Thomas's trembling hand did not puncture Osmond's fingers. Not even the slightest trace remained.
Realize that your movements are too light. Father Thomas raised his head and smiled embarrassedly at Mu Yi. Then take a deep breath. Forcefully stabbed the tip of the dagger into Osmond's index finger. A stream of red blood poured out at once. And Osmond, who had been in a coma for nearly two days, turned out to be because of the pain in his fingertips. The whole body convulsed.. I opened my eyes.
"Oh my God. Thank God. Child. You've woken up." I saw Osmond wake up. And his blood is also bright red in color. Father Thomas was unusually excited. He hurriedly picked up the dagger in his hand and cut the rope from Osmond's body.
"Wait." Mu Yi hurriedly stopped Father Thomas's behavior." Although the blood is red. But it doesn't quite prove that he's regained his mind. Just to be on the safe side. You still ask him something. You know what his full name is. Try to get him to answer."
It was then that Father Thomas remembered Mu Yi's warning. He hurriedly drew a cross on his chest and said silently: "I'm an old fool. In a hurry, I forgot everything. May God forgive me for my foolishness."
With that, Father Thomas leaned in front of Osmond. whispered, "Kid. It's all right. It's all in the past. Listen. Give me your full name. Full name. Got it?"
Osmond woke up though. But his eyes were a little glazed. He looked blankly at Father Thomas, who was calling out to him in front of him. But there was no reaction.
"Kid. Kids." Father Thomas patted Osmond's cheek gently. But Osmond still didn't respond. Maybe he was hit too hard. Mentally there are some problems. After all, no one can accept the fact that their lover has suddenly turned into such a terrible monster.
Then two monks approached. He bowed respectfully at Mu Yi. Then he said, "Your Excellency. The forage you need has been loaded into the wagon. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Oh. Thank you." Mu Yi nodded at the two monks. Then he focused his gaze on Osmond. In fact, if Osmond had been in a coma. Mu Yi, who had already handed him over to Father Thomas. You can leave here without any psychological burden. But at this time, Osmond woke up. And it's still a muddled look. This made Mu Yi a little worried.
Fu Shuai, who knows Mu Yi best, understands at this time. If it's not certain if Osmond has really recovered his mind. Even if you get out of here. Mu Yi's heart will always be unrelieved. And Osmond did regain his senses. After being so frightened. It's also a bit difficult to get him to answer the question immediately and clearly. But time cannot be delayed any longer. So in order to make Osmond conscious as soon as possible. Some extraordinary means had to be used
Fu Shuai walked directly to Father Thomas's side. A hand tugged at the rope from Osmond's body and lifted him up. Then "slap, slap, slap, slap" opened the bow left and right and slapped him four loud times.
Looking at Osmond's slightly swollen cheeks on both sides. Father Thomas and the monks looked at each other with strange eyes. They all felt that Fu Shuai's behavior was a bit excessive. However, consider the issue of identity. So they didn't dare to stop it. Just watching quietly from the side. And when Fu Shuai raised his right hand again. Osmond suddenly shouted, "My name is Eddie? Osmond. My full name is Eddie? Osmond. Don't fight anymore. Don't ......"
At this time, Fu Shuai turned his head and looked at Father Thomas. Father Thomas hurriedly nodded his head and said, "Yes. His full name is Eddie? Osmond. Thank God. He didn't seem to be a puppet of the devil."
Fu Shuai nodded with satisfaction. He straightened out Osmond's foul collar. Then he said sharply to the decadent, lifeless young monk, "I know that what I have been through before is unacceptable to you. Can't face it. But these have become facts. Can't change. Maybe that's God's test for you. He's going to make you understand. There is evil in this world. I hope you can be strong. And not cowardly sinking. That's all I can say."
After saying that, Fu Shuai pushed Osmond, who was still bound, to the two monks next to him. Then he turned around and patted Mu Yi on the shoulder. Got into the carriage. And Mu Yi also understood the meaning of Fu Shuai. He nodded at Father Thomas. Then he also turned around and got into the carriage.
Watching the Middle-earth team leave Orange Village. Father Thomas hurriedly cut the ropes from Osmond's body in an attempt to untie him. But after a few attempts, it failed. In desperation, Father Thomas had no choice but to entrust this difficult task to other able-bodied monks.
It took a lot of effort. The rope on Osmond's body was finally cut. But at this time. Osmond stood there dumbfounded. The gaze remains on the direction in which the Middle-earth team left. His gaze was no longer blank. And a thought was quietly rising in Osmond's heart at this time.
"Evil. Is that ......," Osmond muttered.
Fu Shuai didn't expect it. His words that inadvertently inspired Osmond to be strong. It changed the life of this young monk. And it's even more coincidental. It is because of the change in Osmond. With his help. Untied the knot that had been entwined in Fu Shuai's heart that he couldn't let go. But that was a long time later.
