By the time the red light faded from the farmers' eyes, the recorder had become a mess of rotten flesh on the ground

At this time, except for the priest's eyes, which were still cold, all the people began to be afraid, and the action just now was no longer an ordinary rebellion, it was simply a riot, compared to this, it seemed mild to go to the forest and join the barbarians

The peasants still had a little blood on their fists or boots, but they were scared now

"What about the priest?" A farmer looked at the priest hesitantly

No one paid attention to the burial, and the people looked at the priest with trepidation

"Bury the dead first," the pastor said calmly

After the priest's prompting, these people began to get busy, as if they had suddenly found the backbone of the heart, but it could be seen that these people were a little nervous, holding the earth in their hands and trembling, and piling up the soil on the coffin little by little

Giovanni tugged at my clothes, glanced at me, and motioned for me to follow him in this matter, we have been involved too much, we don't need to look here any longer, we are ready to leave here quietly

But a woman suddenly rushed over and grabbed my arm, "Where are you going?"

The woman shouted

Giovanni and I were a little curious, this woman just wanted us to leave early

"Sister" Giovanni said, "We are just foreigners, we just want to come to the baker's funeral to see if we can get something to eat, now that the funeral is over and we are leaving, what are you leaving us for?" ”

There were too many whites in the woman's eyes, which made people feel that she was extremely arrogant and cunning, "You killed the recorder of the lord's house, do you still want to run?" ”

The surrounding farmers were all sad, but when they heard this, they reacted one after another, and then their faces gradually showed a fierce and happy light

"How do you frame people," I said anxiously, "they obviously beat them, and we didn't do anything"

The peasants, led by a few sturdy and intelligent men, gathered around us

"You did it," said the shepherd, wiping the blood from his hands as he made up the story, "you two murderers killed our lord's recorder, and that's it"

"That's right," said an old man, "you have a reason to do this, just now the young master Alexander's entourage whipped you, you must be revenge on the young master, it is all too clear that this is the matter."

Although the farmer was so upset, there were still quite a few people who looked at the priest with some uneasiness

The same goes for me and Giovanni, and we hope that at least the pastor will stand up for justice and that the farmers will not be scapegoated

Faced with the peasants' questions, the priest stood up, walked to the front of the death book, picked it up, picked up the quill pen that was caught in the page, blew the ink that had frozen the tip of the pen with his mouth, and wrote the baker's name at the bottom of the list

"I have already said," said the priest, closing the book of death, to the peasants, "that God had arranged that you had no sin, and that he had sent men as your sacrifice to the cruelty, and that these two must have committed sins elsewhere, and must come here to pay for them."

It's a tongue-twisting statement, but it's very clear: we are scapegoats or God's chosen ones

"Why," I cried out, and the peasant woman's hand on my arm tightened so hard that I turned around and pushed her, "Take your hand away."

The peasant woman fell to the ground exaggeratedly, shouting and screaming for her brothers to come to her rescue, "Kill, kill, kill"

The peasants encouraged each other "to be sent by God."

They are more fanatical than they have just added: just now they were furious, only because of the death of others; And now their rage is about their own lives

Giovanni rushed over at once, grabbed a farmer's head, grabbed his head, and slammed his face with the top of his head, the farmer's nose burst out of blood, and a large wound appeared on his nose, and the blood kept gurgling out, and after the farmer fell to the ground, the surrounding farmers stepped back, and Giovanni pulled out the dagger in his arms

The peasants gasped in the middle of the crowd, and they did not dare to approach at all

A bold farmer with a wooden stick was about to attack Giovanni from behind, but I gave a warning, and Giovanni dodged the stick on one side and the stick hit the ground, and Giovanni stepped on the stick with his foot and stabbed the farmer in the arm with a dagger, causing him to retract his hand

Seeing that Giovanni could not fight, the peasants were annoyed, and behind them, the hoes and shovels used to dig the graves were set aside, and they went back to get those things, and if they were equipped with those tools, we would be finished

Giovanni turned around and "go"

I ran after him

Giovanni kept turning his head at my side, repelling the farmer who was too close, and we were getting closer and closer to the horse, and we tied the horse to two small birch trees, and at this time, a boy was teasing my horse with a dead branch

The boy was as tall as I was, but not as strong as I was

The peasants shouted from afar, let this boy stop us, we were two horses and more than sixty yards away, a stone struck me on the back of the head, and made me stagger, and I staggered to my knees, and as soon as I touched the back, there was a big bag there, and I was more angry than frightened, and I wanted to take a sword and a shield, and then turn back and teach the shameless fellows a good lesson

I got up and continued to run towards the birch forest, the boy opened his hand to stop us I punched him in the face, but he dodged, I hit his shoulder, he was so thin, I felt that I smashed down with a punch and didn't hit the flesh at all, all the bones hit my hand The boy grabbed my ears and tore so hard that I had to tilt my head to the side I slammed his stomach harder, the harder I hit, the more force he twisted my ears, we were better than who let go first, Finally, The boy couldn't take it anymore, he spread his hand and crouched down holding his stomach

The peasants behind us were already close at hand, and they did not dare to come closer, so they threw all kinds of stones at us, and these stones hurt very well, and these farmers threw themselves at our heads, and they hit us very accurately, and if they did not pay attention, they would be hit

I kicked the boy a few more times, and if it wasn't for my life, I wanted to torture him again, and he almost tore my ear off

Giovanni untied the reins of the horse, and I climbed onto the horse, and there were countless hands stretched out around me, trying to pull me down, some trying to pull my foot out of the stirrup, and one of my feet was grabbed, and I struck the owner of the hand with my whip to force him back, and then I pulled the reins again, and the horse spun in circles, frightening the farmers around me, who gathered around me like flies that could not be shaken off

I'm even a little curious as to why they are so desperate to deal with us with such strength, why not to deal with their lords, who are the root of their misfortunes, and they would rather scapegoat innocent people than oppose the truly sinful people

Giovanni also got on his horse, and with a shout, ran towards the path, which we were going back to town

"Which way are we going?" There were two forks in the road ahead of us, and I don't remember which way we came from

Giovanni turned his head and raised his hand, ready to tell me

But at this moment a huge stone struck Giovanni on the forehead, and I saw his head shake violently, then open his mouth and shake on the horse's back, as if he had fallen into a brief dizziness

But in just a few moments, the shouting peasants surrounded them

I called out to Giovanni to recover his senses, but the blow seemed so severe that Giovanni was still shaking, and the farmers would not give him a respite, and they grabbed Giovanni's hands and feet and dragged him off his horse

I shouted and tried to rush over, but my horse was very timid, and when I got to the front of the crowd, my front hooves stiffened and slipped on the ground, and I refused to go any further, and the peasants threw stones at me, dense like a swarm of bees, and my horse was hit many times, and I fell into a panic, and I felt that if I didn't run again, I would be like Giovanni, so I reined in and threw it away

I found a random path and fled deeper into the woods

Luckily I soon recognized the way I came, and I hurried back to the town along the avenue, and when I got there, I wanted to go to Philip, but when I went to the town office, I saw that there were many soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there were many soldiers stationed at the door, so I did not dare to approach, so I had to leave here temporarily

When I reached the street, I realized that I was in a situation where I had no relatives

At this time, the town is very lively, there are three market days every week, namely the grain market day on Monday, the livestock market day on Thursday, and the wool market day on Saturday, I just happened to catch the wool market day, many merchants are peddling wool and wool, large bags of wool bundled into squares, and the wool bags are piled up on the side of the street, these are the wool stored in winter, which has been simply processed and can be used for sale, and the wool merchants walk around in front of the stalls one by one, and put their hands into the goods package to grab the wool. Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it, roast it over a fire, and see how it looks

There were also some woolen merchants who put up notices on the side of the street to recruit velvet workers, whose job was to constantly beat the wool soaked in water with large stones and sticks, and to filter out the grease in the wool, so that the wool would shrink and become thick, and could be used to make clothes

I was unfamiliar and frustrated with these, and I didn't know who to turn to for help

Giovanni's money is all on him, and I have only a few silver beans on me, which is only enough for my food tonight and forage for the horses, and tomorrow I will have nothing, but I hope that tomorrow I will find Pastor Philip, and if I can, I will complain to Priest Philip about the priest of the Repnin estate, who should be removed from the servants of the Lord

I walked past the market full of wool and I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, I had unintentionally had such a man in a cloak who had been with me for a long time, I had caught a glimpse of him a few times, and I didn't pay attention to him, but his repeated appearance only showed that he was following me

My heart chuckled, and I wanted to find a place to stay

It's already dark, and I've experienced so many things in one day today, which makes me a little tired

I asked a wool merchant where to stay

He thought I was here for business and was happy to greet me, but when I said that, he became a little impatient and pointed to the east end of the street

I walked towards that side, and when I came to the edge of the river, I didn't see a place that looked like a hotel, and I felt that I had been deceived, so I walked back, and when I passed an alley, two men suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley, and I reined in my horse to see if they happened to be passing by, but obviously not, they just looked at me, and their faces were hidden under their cloaks

I tried to retreat to the back, but three people came out from behind, dressed in the same way, wearing black cloaks like pilgrims

Is it a Burke? Or Shura's lackeys? Or is it a minion of Xiaodonghu City? I smiled bitterly in my heart, I haven't even made it to the top, but I have a large group of enemies

I pulled a dagger out of my bosom, but my movements made the men giggle, and they came closer and closer, until they surrounded me, and I spotted a gap, and was about to sprint with all my might, but a strong hand grasped the reins of my horse, and he did not know what gestures and movements he used, and made my horse tame at once, and completely disobeyed my command

He grabbed my arm, and I stabbed him with a dagger, but instead he twisted his wrist and snatched the dagger away

"Who are you and what do you want to do," I cried out angrily

The men looked at each other, and one of them pulled down his cloak and Joey's face appeared below, "It's us, Victor"

Then several of Giovanni's men burst out laughing, then pulled back their cloaks and stood in front of me

I saw the Creelian, and a few others who had been allowed to go home by Giovanni for the holidays, "Didn't you go to a foreign country?" And Joey, aren't you guys going to Dadonghu City? ”

The people shrugged their shoulders, "Isn't it too suspicious that Giovanni, the big pervert, didn't say that, so many of us walked together?"

Joey said to me, "Victor, we've been following you all the time, at most for more than a day, except for the heavy snow, there is no accident, but we are trapped in the town by the snow, and we are lost with you, we have followed all the way, and we are waiting for you here, now is not the time to tell stories, what about Giovanni?" ”

"Someone took it" I was a little frustrated

"Is there a reason why you didn't pay for prostitution?" A Valan axe man asked curiously

"No," I said to him, "because others don't want to pay for blood."
