On the second day, when Adona's architects arrived in Serias, Lotosas and a group of Syrsas began their day's work in the vast land.

At this time, the fields that had been green had been covered by piles of logs and gravel, and building materials were still being transported, and people came to work here from all directions, and the land was stiffened by the reciprocal movement.

On the far side of the earth stood a tent where the Overseer rested, and around it and on all sides of the land stood White soldiers, armed with sharpened white guns.

Lotosas was the thinnest of the men who carried stones into the land with a group of strong men and Lotosas, who had little strength and was sweating profusely.

At this moment, Titia walked quickly in front of him through the crowd with a glass of water.

"I'm so sorry. She wiped the sweat of Lotosas with a clean shirt, "You shouldn't have done this, it's all because of our family's ......"

After that, she handed the glass to Lotosas and said with a smile: "Grandpa is going to open up a piece of land in the backyard of the house, I want to find a violin shop on the street to work for them, we are all working hard, and the difficulties will soon pass." ”

"Hmm. Lotosas drank and nodded.

"These two are really a natural pair, and they both look a little alike. People around commented.

When Tithia heard the voices of the people, her face flushed, and she excused, "I am not his wife. ”

Afterwards, she smiled and said to Lotosas: "Rest for a while when you are tired, don't force yourself." ”

"I will," Lotosas nodded, "thank you for your concern." It's all dirt here, it's going to stain your shoes and clothes, you get out of here, I'm done with my work, and I'll go home." ”

"Hmm!" replied Tythia, "I'll get back home first, and I'll come back to see you later." ”

The summer sun was extremely hot, and by noon, the laborers were already sweating profusely through their clothes. Expecting to be given a rest, some food, and some water, the Overseer fell asleep on the large seat in the tent. Around him, a number of White soldiers stood guard, their bright armor and sharp spears terrifying the toiling strangers.

"Hey!" At this time, a strong man of Sirsa finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted angrily, "Those honorable soldiers, what do you mean by doing such a tiring work here, you don't prepare drinks for us, and you threaten us with swords and guns?"

"This is the order of our Commander-in-Chief, we are only responsible for carrying it out, and we are a people who believe in Our Lady and never drink water. A White soldier stood tall and said dryly.

"Don't drink water? What kind of faith is this, this is a woman's faith at all. The strong man teased.

"What do you say?" said the soldier, "even if you are a people who believe in the wretched gods, our Mother accepts you as if your suffering is the suffering of all mankind, and makes an exception to bring you to this heavenly realm where there is no heavenly blood, but now you are not grateful, but here you speak insults and insults to the Great Lady. ”

"Why? Is your spear right to be pointed at us toilers?" said the strong man, "do you see us all as slaves?

"What did your commander say, and if we didn't work for you, or if we escaped from here, he would have pierced our bodies with his spear?" said another Syrsa indignantly.

At this time, an angel from afar stopped the argument, "Our heavenly white soldiers never throw away their weapons for anything when they are on a mission, unless they have died in battle. They are here with weapons as a part of their duty and habit as White soldiers, not for you, please forgive us, and we will forgive you. ”

"Forgive us?" said the man with a smile, "forgive us and let us rest, eat, drink, and do such tiring work now, if we don't rest during this period, we will definitely fall down from exhaustion!"

Seeing this, one of the White soldiers went into the tent and came to the Overseer, woke him up, and whispered, "Isn't it time to rest?" ”

"Huh?" said the slightly fat man with the big hat who opened his eyes lazily, waved his hand, "it's been so long, so let them rest quickly." ”

When the angel saw the foolish form of the overseer, he walked away angrily without asking.

When the soldier received the order, he shouted: "You can rest, but you are not allowed to return to your host home, and such a round trip will be wasted for a long time!"

"What? right now!" said the strong man of Nasil, pointing to the strong sun overhead, "you just let us be here and be roasted by this blazing fire, and you will not let us eat or drink, is this to make us die?"

"I'm sorry. The soldier saluted, "We have not yet delivered some necessary things such as stoves and food for today, so you can endure for a day, and tomorrow you will be able to enjoy food and water here." ”

"If we haven't arrived here, then why are you hurrying us to work today, are you deliberately playing tricks on us?" said the strong man, and the scorching sun darkened the eyes of the crowd, and they could no longer bear it, and Lotosas sat on a large stone slab, listening to the noise.

"Okay. The overseer, who was sitting in the tent, exclaimed, "Everyone has been working for a long time, and they must be thirsty, if not hungry." ”

"You stone bearers!" he said, pointing to Lotosas and a dozen strong men, "see a dozen buckets in this tent, there is a clear river nearby, you go there to get some water, and I will let you rest a little longer when you come back." ”

The strong man thought for a moment, walked straight forward, picked up the bucket, ran out of the field and walked away. Lotosas and the others also walked away with buckets, and a dozen White soldiers walked ahead of them, leading the way.

After a while, these dozens of people came to the shore of Lanshui. The rippling blue water instantly eliminated everyone's irritability.

"It's a fairyland-like river. The strong man stood up and said with wide eyes.

"Heaven is a wonderland. The soldiers said proudly, and they walked before the crowd and admonished, "But you can only look at this water, and draw water from it, and you must do nothing but these two things, much less cross it by boat, which is a taboo in heaven, and it is punishable by death if it is discovered, and you must tell it to your fellow citizens." ”

"Good, good!" the strong man replied repeatedly, and at this moment, a plan was quietly born in his heart, that is, after they had finished their work and eaten, they took a few of his brothers to take a bath in this refreshing blue water while there was no one here.

"That must be comfortable!" he thought to himself.

When the red sun sinks to the west, the day's work finally ends.

By this time, the entire Ceryas, both in the streets and in the fields, had returned to their former silence. Clouds hung in the sky, and before you knew it, they were black, and they continued to swallow the sky, although it was still a small patch, but it was predictable that there would be a heavy rain during the night.

At last the mud-covered Lotosas had finally returned from the field with Tythia, washed himself and changed his clothes, and after supper, he took off his mud-stained shoes in his hut and fell to sleep wearily.

Titia took all the dirty clothes that Lototus had taken off, threw them into the basin, and scooped some water from the water tank, ready to wash them at once so that Lotosas could change them at any time.

However, by this time, the water in the tank had been completely exhausted, so she decided to go to a nearby well to fetch a bucket in order to save time for tomorrow's breakfast. But when she was about to go out with a bucket, her grandfather happened to meet her head-on.

"Do you want to fetch water? Grandpa smiled, he pointed to the clouds outside and said, "Today's sunset, how beautiful, it's quiet outside, let's go, the two of us are going to take a walk on the shore of Lanshui." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you. Titia nodded, and then he took the basin and walked to the backyard, where he was going to wash his clothes, and just as she was walking to the little backyard of their house, she suddenly remembered the dirty shoes on Lotosas' feet, which had broken heels, and smiled slightly, turned her head and hurried upstairs.

She knew that Lotosas was asleep from exhaustion, so she pushed the door in without another knock, took the dirty shoes and sneaked out.

She placed them on the ground next to the wooden tub full of clothes in the backyard, and brought a shoe brush from the house, ready to paint them from the inside out. But just as she picked up the shoes and gently wiped them, she felt that there seemed to be something more on the upper of the shoes. So she subconsciously raised her shoes and looked inside along the cuffs.

Sure enough, there was a thick black cloth attached to the upper of the shoe, and there seemed to be something in the black cloth, which looked a little bulging.

"It's so uncomfortable to wear like this, I don't know what he's thinking. Titia thought to herself, and brought scissors, needle, thread, and rags to help Lotosus refinish it.

She used her scissors to carefully open the thick thread of the black cloth in the shoe, and when the thread was cut, the black cloth fell off.

Tythia poured the black cloth out of her shoe and hastily picked it up, ready to throw it into the trash, when a brown leather letter burst out of the black cloth.

The cortical letter was folded squarely, flattened by the squeezing of Lotosas.

The quality of the cortex-letter was extraordinary, it was meticulous, smooth and soft, and most importantly, it also had an architectural drawing of the seventh-order temple of Carlos painted on it, and at first sight it was known that it was a leather-like letter that only the powerful of the heavenly kingdom could use.

Titia looked at Corticin in astonishment, and she picked it up curiously, and though she was a little distracted, she opened it after a moment of thought.

When she saw the contents, she instantly covered her mouth, "This is a letter from the commander of the White Army to the archangel Raymond Wild, how can this be? Is this true......?"

After reading this cortical letter, she felt a roar in her heart, not knowing what to do, and not knowing what kind of secret was hidden in Rotosas.

After a long time, she finally regained her composure, wrapped the leather letter in black cloth again, sewed it on the upper of his shoe with a needle and thread, and then, without shining his shoes, hurried upstairs and put them back in place.

At this time, Lotosas awoke from his sleep, and he called out to his father, Brasseur, and in his dream, he saw the scene of his father's beheading with a great axe, and General Civelo's appearance on the sinner's table.

"Brassier, you are innocent, you don't deserve to die. He uttered a series of such words, and finally suddenly shouted "Father" and sat up from the bed, and he looked at his shoes uneasily, and cold sweat could not stop breaking down his forehead.

Titia stood at the doorway after giving her shoes, she could hear everything that Lotosas was saying, Brasser was her brother-in-law, she already knew that this Jasra was Lotosas, she thought this when she first met him in front of the poor white gate of Tensai, and what had not changed in the slightest from his childhood was his natural temperament.

Lothasas glanced at Tithia in the room, feeling that his affairs were already known to Tithia, so he asked in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"

"I-I'm ......," Tithia pretended not to know anything, "I'm sorry, I woke you up, didn't I? I thought you were here, and you could talk to me." ”

Lotosus sighed, and from her words he knew that Tythia had found nothing, so he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Tytia, I'm a little indifferent to you, if so, you must not care, because I am such a person, and it is not deliberate." ”

"Of course I don't care. Tythia walked up to him, sat down on the bed and smiled.

At this moment, on the shore of Lanshui, the strong man of Sirsa who carried the stone quietly came here. There were about a dozen of them, and they were very excited to see that there was no one around.

"I never thought of bathing in the waters of this heavenly wonderland. The strong man said.

"yes. The other laughed and replied, "If we take a bath here, won't we all become those beautiful heavenly men?"

"What heavenly men?" retorted a bearded man, "they are only born with the appearance of women. ”

Without saying a word, they stripped naked, leaving only a small fig leaf and jumping away into the water, which made an unquiet splash on the surface of the calm water.

Soon after, my grandfather and grandfather, carrying buckets, walked towards the place, their steps vigorous and gentle, admiring the scenery on the side of the road as they walked, and although their land had been confiscated, they were still cheerful and optimistic.

After some time, they came to a short distance from the shore of Lanshui. More than a dozen strong men were pounced inside, and suddenly two old men came in.

"Hey, big brother, no, someone is coming, we're going to be discovered, what should we do?" one of them asked.

"What should we do?" the strong man looked around in a panic, "according to those White Army soldiers, bathing in this water, if caught is a grave crime to be beheaded, we have nowhere to escape, first dive under the water for a while, maybe they will be able to walk away after a while." ”

So everyone dived underwater.

When the two old men arrived here, they found a large pile of clothes on the shore of Lanshui.

"Whose should it be with such a large pile of clothes?" said Grandma quietly.

"Never mind it, someone will always come looking for you. After Grandpa finished speaking, he walked down the steps with a bucket of water.

Everyone thought that the grandfather would draw water immediately and leave immediately after taking the water, but unexpectedly, the old man stood on the stone steps and looked into the distance for a long time, but he didn't come to get water, and even said elegantly: "It's really 'the green mountains and flowing water know each other, and the flowing water and green mountains share this meaning!'"

At this moment, everyone's patience in the water has reached its limit.

I only heard a "bang", a beard suddenly burst out of the water, he shook his wet hair, and shouted: "You are such an old man, if you want to get water, you can take it immediately, why do you have to chant a poem slowly!"

After him, the dozen or so people also rushed out of the water, and one strong man was only a few steps away from his grandfather, which frightened him and discouraged him again and again.

"You, you ......," said my grandfather, pointing back at them, "you strangers, you are so foolish, bathing in the holy waters!"

After Grandpa took a few steps back, the strong man at the front saw the stone steps behind him, if Grandpa took another step back, he would trip there, out of worry, his eyes widened and shouted: "Old man, pay attention! Don't go back any further, there are stairs behind you!"

Grandma also shouted, "Old man, danger!"

But in the midst of this cry, my grandfather not only did not calm down for a moment, but became more frightened, and he took that small step backwards with restlessness, and it was this small step that caused one of his feet to stumble upon the stairs, and his whole body fell back in disobedience.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the strong man immediately jumped on the concrete platform and slammed it, but he failed to catch his grandfather, and his body fell quickly, and the top of his head hit the stone edge of the staircase, and the hard stone edge immediately knocked his head open a large hole, and blood flowed from it.

The strong man stretched out his hand and stared at him, and his grandmother ran down the steps, sat on the ground, and hugged his grandfather.

"Are you alright, old man. Grandma shouted, but Grandpa had already returned to the West.

"We're in trouble. At this point, everyone stepped out of the water and got dressed, "but we didn't mean to." ”

"Yes, we didn't mean to, but who knows?" said the strong man who had just stayed in front of the old man, "even if we didn't kill him intentionally, we also entered this Lanshui, which the Heavenly People are not allowed to enter, and they knew that we would die like us." ”

He walked to the shore, looked at his grandmother, who was crying with his grandfather at the bottom of the steps, and turned his head unbearably, "You find a way to keep this old woman silent, otherwise we will all be exposed sooner or later." ”

With that, he walked to the side and prayed, "Great God, please forgive us, it is really not our sin, you know, we are good, but we are forced to do so." (To be continued.) )
