Chapter 4: Burning [3,000 words]
Time passes day by day. The town also went through a war.
But after the war, the town returned to calm again.
In the blink of an eye, it was three years later.
this day.
"Capture the Koji Shrine Maiden! Capture the Koji Shrine Maiden! ”
In the streets and alleys, such shouts were heard.
If nothing else, it's just that the king of this country has set off a frenzy of capturing witches!
Xie Tu was tied up in this way and carried to the straw pile.
"Abba Abba ......"
It's just that at this time, Xie Tu's body was bound and bound. There is nothing to compare at all.
And the crowd was excited, with fanaticism on their faces.
In this way, Shetu was tied to a pillar and stayed until the evening.
Xie Tu didn't understand what he had done.
The people appreciated themselves and distributed the surplus food to the refugees.
"Gusi Sania! Accept the judgment of the shrine maiden! ”
In the midst of the crowd, a man with a strong body and burn scars came out.
Beside him, the village chief of the open hearth village, and the stupid son of his family.
"Abba Aba!!"
Xie Tu seemed to say something, but she, who was already mute, couldn't send any useful information.
"Gusi Sania! Three years ago, Father Ravey Hyde, Mrs. Mary Galloway.
And my little son! It's all because of your demagoguery!
Today, thank you to the King for the National Shrine Maiden Execution Order!
Finally! It's time to avenge the trio! Hahaha! ”
The middle-aged man raised the torch and picked up the scissors in his hand.
Slowly walked towards Xie Tu.
Xie Tu looked at the burning torch and was a little stunned.
'Hey...... Is it going to end? ’
At this time, Xie Tu no longer resisted.
Obviously, his seventeen years of miserable life had just improved a little, and he was retaliated against by the enemy.
In other words, in the past 17 years, I have lived so hard, and there has been such intrigue.
The cheap father was gone when he first came, and the mother was gone after she was ten years old.
After that, I got used to my identity a little bit. For those ruffians and hooligans, he can hide and hide.
Isn't that okay?!
Haven't I done enough! I heal the villagers and help the people!
Give the homeless people a home, and solve the doubts of those who are confused every day! Isn't that enough?
I'm so tired......
'You fools! Fools!! ’
'I'm here step by step! You also have a lot to do! ’
Xie Tu roared silently. The scissors of the man in front of him are getting closer and closer.
Click......
The nun's dress was cut open, and Bai Yu's smooth body was completely exposed to the air.
"The day...... I waited three years! Gus Sania. ”
The man leaned close to Xie Tu's ear and whispered.
The palm of his hand reached out to Xie Tu's chest.
It's just that before he touched it, he was hit by Xie Tu's head.
Xie Tu looked at the people in front of him with a demonic expression.
This is also Xie Tu's most real expression in the past 17 years!
"Do you want to die sooner?!"
At this moment, a man no longer pretends to be a gentleman.
He's a cautious, violent, and man!
Raising his hand, it was a slap in the face to Xie Tu.
Xie Tu lost several of his teeth from this slap.
His eyes were also beaten and he was bleeding profusely.
The brain was also beaten and groggy.
"Set fire!"
The middle-aged man took a few steps back and threw the torch in his hand into the straw.
Boom –
Flames blazed and lit up the entire square.
The people around looked at the witch intently.
Some men are because of their beauty. Some civilians just want to see a rarity.
There are also women who are jealous.
Just as the people were watching, a black cat burrowed into the fire.
Not long after, there was another scream!
In the midst of the flames, Xie Tu saw the expressions of the villagers.
Mockery, mockery, disgust, and useless sympathy!
At this moment, as the nun of Gusi Sania, the resentment reached the extreme!
"Abba ...... Abba ......"
'I curse you! ’
"I curse you! I curse you all! All of them! Come to a sticky end! ”
The voice that had been unable to make a sound for a long time actually made a sound at this moment.
This is the beginning, and this is also the swan song.
The flames burned Shetu's body to ashes.
A monstrous aura of calamity mixed with resentment poured into Gusi Sanya's body.
Leave a crowd of people looking at each other.
The moon in the sky was also shrouded in dark clouds.
On the branches, the crow quietly watched everything here.
At this moment, there was only the sound of straw burning.
"The shrine maiden has been executed!"
"The shrine maiden has been executed!"
The middle-aged man in the lead stood beside the straw, picked up the torch in the straw that had not yet been burned, and kept shouting.
The tone was unprecedentedly cheerful.
As for the people around them, when they saw someone shouting, they also began to shout along with the men.
"Desa Town! No more shrine maidens! Desa Town! Settle down and Changning! ”
The night finally came to an end with the burning flames and the shouts of the people.
Time passed day by day.
The town of Desa and the surrounding villages have been shrouded in clouds.
You know, it's June.
This cold temperature and clouds are extremely unusual.
"Wang! Barking! ”
The church in the town, occupied again by the church fathers of other towns.
A large wolfdog was also tied to the door.
It's just that this usually well-behaved wolf dog has been barking for some reason today.
"Koji! Stop screaming! ”
The dog's name is also Koji.
It was called by the surrounding villagers in order to insult the rumored and demagogic vicious witch.
"Wang~Wang!"
The wolfdog bowed his head slightly.
It's just that he still whines and doesn't listen.
"The weather is ...... I don't know what kind of madness it is. ”
In the blacksmith shop, the middle-aged man was watching the guys in the shop striking iron. And himself, looking at the scenery outside the door.
The forge room was too hot, and even an old blacksmith like him didn't want to stay in it long.
"Ahh
"Boss!! Boss! Something happened to Lourdes!! ”
In the forging room, there was an exclamation.
Frightened, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked in. I don't care if it's hot or not.
"What's going on! Hiss-"
As soon as the man entered, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
A man's head was stuck in hot molten iron.
It's already out of breath.
"Boss Dees... This... This is already the third of the week...
And the way to die is getting more and more ... More and more..."
Before the sturdy young man could say anything, the middle-aged big Handis waved his hand.
"Say no more! It's all your carelessness! Don't look at it! Hurry up and pull him out! ”
Dees pulled out a bag of silver coins from his pocket with a gloomy face.
"The money is given to his family. Don't let me know you steal! ”
Dice handed the money to the young man and said with a fierce expression.
"Good boss. But can you tie my salary together? ”
The young strong man scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"What?! It's not the end of the month yet! You just want a paycheck! Don't give! ”
Dis said with some exasperation.
That's enough to memorize this month. Two blacksmiths have already had an accident!
I spent about a gold coin before and after!
Now your own buddies are still planning to take advantage of the fire to rob? Begging for a salary?! No way! When pigs fly!
"Alright then, boss. Then I'll send the money. The young man clutched the money bag in his hand and ran out with a cigarette.
"Boss, I'm not going to do it. Can you settle the salary? ”
"Me too."
"Me too, boss. My family is sick. ”
"I also have something at home, and I need money urgently......"
For a moment, the sound of the hammering in the forging room was gone, replaced by the sound of begging for wages.
"That's enough!! You despicable wolves! You are now behaving like hyenas on the prairie!
Ok, good, good! It's all for you! You wait! ”
Dees was a little annoyed.
Looking at these people who once worshipped themselves as teachers and said all the good things, Diese felt an endless sense of chagrin!
A small box was taken out of the back room and placed on the iron felt in the forging room.
"Look at it! Your boss can't help it! I can also pay you that broken salary!
You group can only go to the ranch to pick up dung balls for the rest of your life! ”
Dees snorted, took out a handful of silver coins from the box, and threw them on the ground.
"Pick it up yourself!"
A group of strong men rushed up, crouched on the ground and picked up the silver coin.
"A bunch of unseen bastards! Ungrateful waste! I will only covet these small profits!! ”
Dice stood aside, clutching his cash box and swearing in his mouth.
After a group of big men picked up the silver coins, they didn't even do the work in their hands, and just dispersed in a hurry.
And the young man who went to give the money never came back.
"Father. I've heard what's happened recently? ”
Outside, a polite young man walked up to the blacksmith shop and asked with a frown.
"Humph! What could happen! I'm here! This blacksmith can't be messed up!! ”
Dees snorted coldly and put the cash box in his hand back to the back room again.
It's just that he didn't see that in his eldest son's eyes, the greedy look was unobstructed.
"See? That's money! You just lost ten credits, don't you want to win them back?
Go get it! ”
A sound echoed in the young man's heart.
It's like a feather, and it's been teasing his heart.
Tickle ......
"No, you can't... That's my father's... No, you can't..."
The young man shook his head.
It's just that the phrase hasn't disappeared, as if it's a spell.
"Vata, what are you thinking?"
"No... It's nothing... Father, I went to school. ”
With that, Watta walked out of the blacksmith shop again.
Holding the last silver coin in his hand, the expression on his face was a little nervous.
"Strange Kid ......"
Dees scratched his head, he always felt that there was something strange about Vata now.
When night came, the blacksmith closed early.
"Boss Dis? My family Lourdes died, won't you give a funeral fee?! Isn't there a saying! ”
A crowd surrounded the blacksmith shop, and those men had hoes, sickles, axes, hook rakes, and ......
"Nonsense! I let ... Who's going to let it be... I can't remember the name of that person... Clearly! Clearly! ”
Dies's face turned a little red, and he picked up the hammer next to him and pointed at the group of people opposite.
"I gave it to you! You are blackmail! ”
"Then you say! Who did you give it to! Say! ”
"Say! Say! ”
Suddenly, there was a noise in the blacksmith shop.
“……”
"I won't give it! I've already given it! ”
"You fart!!"
For a while, there was a fight in the blacksmith shop.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! We give! We give! ”
Vata, the eldest son of the blacksmith shop, squeezed in from the crowd and said with bloodshot eyes.
When he left, the silver coin in his hand was gone. By the way, there are also gold-wire glasses on the bridge of the nose.
"Father, I'm going to get the money. Give me the key. ”
Vata crouched on the ground and whispered.
"Under my pillow... There is a key... Box... The box is on the beams of the second floor attic..."
Dees said weakly.
Even though he was an ironworker, he ate well and had great strength. But being surrounded by a group of people, there is no way.
"Count you as acquaintances! Old stuff! The funeral expenses are not even paid!
I'll be hyped up! Let's see who will dare to patronize your broken blacksmith shop! ”
