Chapter 334: Fear
"Hoo ......"
Seeing little Hoss in order to have a tombstone in front of his father's grave,
After the tombstone that had been planted before was removed, he still resisted his fear and made a smaller tombstone and hid it in the dirt.
Although others could not see it, little Hoss knew that there was a tombstone in front of his father's grave.
When I saw this scene,
The two readers, Al and Penny, couldn't help but be nervous,
What would happen if Hoth's actions were discovered again, would he die like Medioc did?
Although the book doesn't describe what kind of person that 'Grandpa Gus' is,
But judging by his current attitude toward the tombstone in front of Mediaoc's grave, Al and Penny don't think the old guy is a good thing.
The doubts of the people in the village about the decrees of the church and the church were answered by this person.
Each time, we will receive a gift or reward for answering questions.
In order to maintain his own authority and the benefits of his own authority, this person will only be worse than the people of that church.
It is in the places that the church does not explicitly say that it is the space for him to be powerful, and he will also act as the vanguard of the church.
If he knew that Little Hoth dared to erect a tombstone, I couldn't believe what he would do to Little Hoth.
It's no wonder that Al and Penny, the two readers, think so badly of the 'Grandpa Gus' who hasn't officially appeared yet,
It's really the depression of this story that makes them afraid, Mr. I writes it too well,
Let little Hoth's barely sustainable life is like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff, and it will collapse if you don't pay attention to it.
Let them also be nervous with unbearable tension.
finally
Seeing that little Hoss hid the new tombstone in the ground, no one found it, and went to work in the field normally,
Al and Penny were relieved.
Hearing his wife exhale as well, Al looked back at his wife,
"Keep watching."
Penny spoke up.
The two of them turned their gaze back to the computer screen.
……
book.
Little Hoss gradually became tired again from the work in the fields,
The sweat that kept dripping soaked his clothes, and the scorching sun on his top,
It had left him with no time to pay attention to his previous fears.
The whole person was a little dizzy from the sun,
Just subconsciously, mechanically repeating the action of farming,
I want to rest under the shade of the trees, and I want to work as much as I can.
In the midst of this repetition, little Hoss cultivated some more fields,
Finally, the two hands under the drowsy head finally did not cooperate very well,
When planting crops, the farm tools in his hand were waved down at the same time.
Halfway through, my drowsy brain suddenly came back to my senses and woke up.
But I still dug it on my hand, but fortunately I didn't dig the wound.
On the edge of the tiger's mouth on his hand, bright red blood soaked out in an instant,
The tingling sensation stimulated his thumb, and he couldn't stop beating slightly,
also completely woke up little Hoth's sun-burned and somewhat drowsy head,
Looking at the wound on his hand, Xiao Hoss didn't know what to do for a while.
Reaching out to wipe some of the blood that had gathered on the back of his hand,
But the hand that holds the farm implements is also mud.
In the end, he just took the slightly cleaner place of the sackcloth on his body and wiped the blood on his hands.
It's just that the blood stained Mai, which made little Horston stop moving,
Blood, blood on the body...... Little Hoss's face showed some fear,
But then there was silence again,
After a moment of silence, little Hoss walked silently to the shade of the tree at the edge of the field and rested.
When the wound on the hand is no longer bleeding,
Little Hoss took out the black bread that he had brought out in the morning, drank it with water, and ate it like this.
In the afternoon, little Hoss continued to work in the fields.
He knew he was going to have to do it much slower, so he had to work more time a day to keep up with the planting time.
So he didn't get up from the field until nightfall, when some of the village residents were passing by on the edge of the field, called out to him.
"Little Hoth...... When I got home, it was dark. ”
It was a villager next to his field, who called out to him when he was passing by.
Little Hoss looked up, then took the farming tools and the rest of the crop species, and slowly walked back home.
……
At night, little Hoth lay in bed and did not dare to fall asleep for a long time.
He was afraid that he would have another nightmare,
So it wasn't until he heard again in the night that Mr. More was beating and scolding Miriath.
After a while, little Hoss was too tired from working in the field during the day to stay up, so he fell asleep.
But that night,
He didn't have nightmares.
When I woke up the next day, I felt terrible pain as usual.
Still eating about the same breakfast,
Little Hoss went out the door.
He hurried towards his father's grave.
Running all the way through,
Little Hoss didn't see anyone else in front of his father's grave.
He crouched down to see that there was no trace of digging up the gravestone where he had buried the tombstone yesterday in front of the grave.
Little Hoth breathed a sigh of relief.
Return along the road and prepare to continue working in the fields.
It was only on the way back that little Hoth saw Aunt Valina again.
Aunt Valina seemed to be going to the cemetery where the villagers were buried again.
"Aunt Valina?"
“…… Well, little horse...... I'm going to see you Brother Walker. ”
“…… Aunt Valina, how did Brother Walker die? ”
Little Hoss couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Valina was silent for a while,
"He died of illness."
"Hmm...... Aunt Navalina, I'm leaving. ”
Not knowing how to comfort Aunt Valina, Little Hoss said a word to Aunt Valina and left again.
Aunt Valina continued to the place where the villagers were graveyard.
Little Hoth went to the fields, and it was another tiring day of farming.
Only at last, the field he cultivated reached the edge of the field, and across the field, the villagers in the field next to him saw him, and some people talked to him.
“…… Little Hoth ...... You've planted so much, huh? ”
"Hmmm......"
Little Hoss was too tired to speak.
"Hmm...... Little Hoth, did you go and give a gift to your grandfather Gus about your father's tombstone before? If it weren't for your Grandpa Gus, you'd have made a mistake this time. ”
The inhabitants of the village in the nearby field were silent for a moment, and then reminded little Hoth,
“…… You don't thank him for that, and in a moment your grandfather Gus gets angry. ”
Little Hoss paused, straightened up, and busied himself with the farming, for he had indeed forgotten about it.
But will Grandpa Gus be angry?
He had the impression that Grandpa Gus had always been very kind.
"I see, thanks."
Little Hoth answered, and then glanced at the field that was about to be finished.
Continue to bend down and plow with your back to the sun.
It wasn't until the field was planted that little Fox went home, ready to take advantage of this time to take some gifts to Grandpa Gus.
But when he walked to the door, little Hoth saw the neighbor's Miria again, and Miria was standing in the yard next door.
"Miria Asia?"
Little Hoss shouted in confusion.
"Little Hoth, are you done?"
"Hmm. Miria Lady, are you waiting for Mr. Moore? ”
"Well, yes, he went to the fields, did you see him? He should be right next to the field you're plowing. ”
Little Hoss shook his head, he didn't see it.
"Maybe it's farming somewhere else."
Miria replied too.
Little Hoss nodded, and hurried back to his house.
……
"Dongdong ......"
"Mr. Al, can we get off work?"
When I was looking at the content of the 'ordinary chapter',
An editor from a publishing house carefully knocked on the door of Al's office and came in to ask.
“…… Is it time to get off work? Of course, you guys get off work. ”
Al and the others looked back at the window, only to find that it was already evening.
