Chapter 8 Sunflower Field
"That's it?"
Yalei spread out his gauze-wrapped hands, a little surprised.
"It's over. ”
"It's only been twenty days......
"Do you know how much money I've spent in the past 20 days!!
Old Farr grabbed Are's collar with red eyes and shook it back and forth vigorously:
"The cost of medicine alone is five hundred soles a day, and you are still picky about what you eat. ”
"I'm going to suffer, if I don't eat something good before this, will I be worthy of myself? ”
Yalei replied with a straight face, and then his palms were flat, and he said with a bitter face:
"I don't feel anything on my hands other than tingling and itching. ”
"All I can do with this little time is adjust it to the strength of the finger cone. ”
Old Farr turned out a pack of shredded tobacco, twisted a wisp, gently rolled it into a small ball, and put it into a porcelain pipe:
"Don't worry, when the itch subsides, those hands will make you feel reborn. The rest is up to you, even in the palace of His Majesty, don't slack off. ”
Watching Old Farr expertly press the balls of tobacco into his pipe, Arleton was bored, leaned back of his neck in his chair, and a wave of sleepiness welled up.
In the next few days, Yalei was basically idle, in order to completely nourish his hands and leave no dark wounds, old Farr made all kinds of drugs for him to take internally and externally, until the beginning of the flower god sacrifice.
As a sign of respect for the Queen of Flowers, the people of Eastern Thracia would fast for a day and go to the wild to plant the sunflower, returning with the seeds that the flower had shed on its own, believing that doing so would bring happiness.
The bell tower, restaurants, shops, parks, all buildings except the church are hung with large and small bouquets of flowers. The Triumph Square in the center has become a sea of flowers, and the air is filled with a refreshing fragrance.
In addition to pharmacies, hospitals, and pubs, shops are closed and farms are closed. Needless to say, the rich are dressed in gold and jade, even if the poor people join in the fun, they have to reorganize their clothes and hats, hold large bouquets of flowers, and sing praises to join the flow of joy. On the sacred day once every 30 years, people only experience two or three times in their lives, and if they do not completely relax, they will not come to the world for nothing.
People forget about wealth and poverty, sorrow and trouble, tension and fatigue, and only joy and happiness remain.
A hundred young men and women flocked to the Triumphal Square, a pact between Agaric the Great and the Queen, and Figres enjoyed the authority of the lord while fulfilling the responsibility of nurturing a new generation of seeds for the empire. However, the queen took advantage of the loophole in the contract, and the festival that was originally once every two years became once every thirty years.
Although he is respected as a god, because of the contract, the emperor is helpless. Indirectly contributed to the birth of a profession - Dr. Goblin.
Yalei learned from the past and the present, and now communicating with the goblins, which is indeed a very challenging knowledge.
He had no choice but to be sprayed with perfume, put on a gown, and even smeared with wax, and then transported to Triumph Square like a marionette.
Noticing that the girl next to her was pale, Yalei asked with some concern:
"Are you alright, are you feeling unwell?"
The girl's face has been delicately retouched, the light makeup just covers a few freckles, the upper body is a white dress studded with roses, and the lower body reveals a delicate deerskin boots, which is a playful middle.
If you put on a men's dress, you must be a handsome girl who can't distinguish between male and female.
"Don't you feel scared? It is said that Her Majesty Figres likes to abuse mortals, and if she is not satisfied, men will be chopped into meat sauce and used as flower fertilizer, and women will be skinned and made into **......"
The girl trembled, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, as if she was scared.
Yare couldn't understand what kind of character the legendary queen was, who could paradoxically combine mortal love and fear. However, this did not prevent him from speaking warmly:
"Flower fat ** or something, that must be rumors, think about it, if the queen is really so brutal, why can she still be loved by people, why the people who return are at most seriously ill, and there has never been anything missing halfway, right? In my opinion, those rumors are just a trick made up by adults to scare children, but they are passed on and passed on, and countless versions have been derived, and in the end even the adults themselves believe it. ”
In the end, Yalei couldn't help but laugh, and even the girl laughed.
"Well, I'm Betty, thank you. ”
It seems that the fear has been eliminated, and the girl's speech has become, and between the words, there is a feeling of chic and smart.
"I'm Yare, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
A short encounter with a girl, at least a boring time, is obviously more attractive than the lengthy speech of the big man on the square stage, and the soft voice of the beautiful girl next to her.
The same thing was born around, and it was not until the whisper completely overshadowed the speech on the podium that the big man ended with the sentence "May the empire have a better tomorrow".
At this point, people cheered and applauded from the bottom of their hearts.
In the next square drinking party, Yalei naturally stayed with Betty, this girl has high dancing skills, in contrast, although Yalei is also slightly dabbled, at best she can only dance, dwarfed by very passive.
"You mean, you once owned four estates?"
Betty grabbed Arley's arm and circled to soothing music.
"Yes, but I sold it all to raise money for tuition. ”
Holding the girl's slender waist, Yalei could feel the delicacy and elasticity of his fingertips, and this unprecedented touch made his mouth dry.
"That's a shame......"
As the daughter of a farmer, she naturally knows the value of the olive estates everywhere and feels sorry for Yare's ruinous behavior.
At the end of the song, the dance dispersed, and with the impassioned speech of the Orthodox Bishop Kreman, countless fireworks burst into the sky.
"Under the witness of the Lord! Chosen children, at the first day of the new month, you will reach the other side of the world. This is a great opportunity that comes only once in 30 years, and those who hold it can be reborn. May the Father in heaven bless you and the Most High Christ be with you, Amen!"
At the end of the speech, the crescent moon in the sky happened to be covered by dark clouds, and the most central point, shimmering with a breathtaking enchanting emerald green, the whole dark cloud rotated rapidly, forming a whirlpool of huge clouds, constantly pulling and crushing the surrounding clouds, hanging in the sky in an inverted shape.
Through its center, you can vaguely see that on the other side of the world - the endless sea of sun flowers!
Dazzling emerald green brilliance, while submerging the earth.
