I didn't turn into stone today (2)
Crewe is a small town with a population of less than 10,000 and surrounded by a forest, so it is becoming more and more remote and backward.
Fortunately, the forest is abundant, and the townspeople can make a living by hunting, and occasionally merchants from the city center come to buy hides and herbs, and the industrious Kru people have survived on this forest for generations.
Transportation is not well developed here, few families can afford horse-drawn carriages, most people travel through the town by public ox carts, and some wealthy people will buy sturdy cattle and horses for rent, and at the end of the day, the income is very good.
In Crewe, ten copper coins can eat and drink well all day, and Ding Bao was sold by his father for a hundred copper coins, and she was bought by a rich local man, and after adding a young lady to the family, he was looking for a well-behaved and capable girl.
Ding Bao was bought by him for a hundred copper coins, but when he got home, the rich man saw her hand and immediately resold it to a hunter in the forest for eighty copper plates.
After two tosses, Ding Bao finally settled down and became the goddaughter of the old hunter.
The old hunter was old, but he had no children under his knees, so in case no one collected the body after he died, he bought Ding Bao for eighty copper plates.
That day, he looked at Ding Bao's hand and saw that there was an extra finger on the edge of her little black hand, and he understood why no one wanted this girl.
In Crewe, only witches have six fingers, and everyone thinks that Ding Bao is an ominous witch, and when they see her, they only have fear and disgust, not to mention living under the same roof with her.
So she was sold by her father, then by the rich, and finally by a hunter who killed for a living.
The old hunter told Ding Bao that God loves you so he will give you one more thing, and you must love yourself more.
Ding Bao respected and loved this old man very much, and when he died, Ding Bao spent all his savings to buy him a clean and beautiful dress for him to be buried, and carved a tablet for him with his own hands, and the tomb was erected at the back of the house.
Later, when the witch came to bring plague and disaster to the city, everyone turned their resentment to Ding Bao, and on a sunny afternoon, they burned the hunter's house with torches, and Ding Bao fled deeper into the forest with her wounds, but she was too badly injured and hungry, and finally lost in the dark forest.
——
In the stormy night, the cold wind gusted in the ears, and the deep jungle "swooped" in the depths of the dense forest, and the black forest was like the mouth of a giant beast, as if it could swallow people at any time, swaying with the shadows of the trees, opening its teeth and dancing claws, like a ghost, so a thunder exploded.
A tall and eerie castle appeared at the end of the forest, and with lightning strikes, a clear path appeared in front of the castle gate.
Ding Bao dragged her painful body and looked into the distance, her eyes couldn't open when the big rain hit her, she could only listen to the guidance of the voice in her ear, and staggered to the castle step by step.
"The task of probationing Medusa is opened, and the salesman is requested to abide by the relevant rules and complete the task conscientiously.
Task content: The salesman needs to help the task target erase the suspicion in his heart within the specified time, re-trust mankind, and build a harmonious society.
Quest keyword: suspicious. ”
Ding Bao was in pain all over, and she could barely hear the content of the task clearly, but she had doubts about a certain term in her ears.
"Beauty, Medusa? It can't be me, the Medusa you know, right? ”
