Chapter 102: Winter
In the Middle Ages, Jack, a nobleman from a ruined family, who almost froze to death on a snowy winter night, should be thankful that a funny-looking clown saved him during a circus performance that day.
Lying on a strange big bed, Jack moved his hands and feet, the weather was too cold, and the wounds on his hands had been frozen to necrosis by low temperatures-
Because of the wartime expropriation of real estate, Jack was unwilling to hand over the estate he and the late director Leo had five fingers chopped off by the hated rebels, and now he is outcast, and Emma, the daughter of the factory director who is still alone on the estate, does not know whether she is alive or dead.
He had to go back and take a look!
"Where are you going?" Seeing Jack struggling to get up from his chair, Jock came over and gave him a hand, "Are you going to?" I'm afraid it won't work now, Bane is in the toilet, that guy is the king of the pit, and he can't get out without half an hour. β
Jack pushed the clown away without saying a word, turned his head and was about to rush out, but fortunately, Jock was really a good-tempered person, and dragged Jack back to the bed after grabbing him:
"Okay, okay, don't say it if you don't want to talk, you can leave at any time if you want to go, but now the top of your hand looks very serious, I asked our doctor Emily to bandage you, wait a minute."
As he spoke, Jock touched his head and shook his head as he walked outβ
What a weirdo!
In less than three minutes, Emily was led to his room by Jock, and when he pushed the door open, Jack sat limply on the floor, leaning his head back against the bed, and it was obvious that he seemed to be dying.
"Hey, cheer up a little!" Emily ran to the side, put one of Jack's hands on her shoulder, and gestured and said, "Jock, get him to bed!" β
"This guy looks skinny, it's really not light!" The Joker put Jack on the bed and asked, "What else do I need to do?" β
"Prepare a little more candles," Removing Jack's mask from his face and touching his hot forehead, Emily picked up his bloody left hand and frowned tightly, "I need to cut off all the dead flesh on his left hand." β
"That sounds like a big project......"
Jock was not wrong, although Jack had passed out, but when Emily cut off the flesh on his left hand, he still gritted his teeth tightly, and by the time all the work was done, the night had passed.
"Phewβ" Wiping the sweat from his head, wrapping a bandage and a bow around each of Jack's fingers, Emily stared at a hideous scar on his delicate face and asked, "Joke, who is he?" Why wear a mask? Scars on the face...... What's going on? β
"Huh?" As if woken up by Emily's voice, Jock, who was still sleeping just now, raised his eyelids and lifted the smiley mask on his face above his head, "What did you say?" β
"......" sighed, and Emily knew that she had nothing to say to this kind of optimist who didn't have a brain at all, "Forget it, I didn't say anything......"
"It's started, it's started!"
Soon, without waiting for Jock to change his clothes, he shouted at the door:
"Jock, Bane, you go warm up first!"
"I'll go out first," Jock instructed, "and you take good care of him." β
Nodding, Emily suddenly felt-
These two people really look a little alike, are they brothers?
yes, if there is no blood relationship, why would this strange man appear in his room?
After saying yes to herself, Emily decided to go out for a drink first, and she really couldn't hold it anymore after a night without resting.
However, when she came back with some toast and cold coffee, she found thatβ
"Jock's brother is gone."
"What, the factory director and that man are gone?!" Meanwhile, in the manor, the rebel leader angrily banged on the table, "What about his daughter?" β
"The daughter hasn't been found yet," the subordinates were all terrified, "We're still looking, but the manor is too big...... We ......"
"Shut up stupid!" Throwing the ashtray over, the leader decided, "You go find the factory director's daughter first, and call Naib over, although it is a bit of a fuss to arrest that outdated nobleman and use our trump card, but time is pressing, and we must fight quickly!" β
