Chapter 167: The Blessing of the Goddess (2)
Danfan didn't hesitate when he pounced.
The figure was so resolute and brave, like a fearless female warrior, that she couldn't see the cowering and cowardice she had before.
When she plunged the dagger into Jiwu's body, Lin Yu remembered that when she hadn't crossed, she would occasionally see cockroaches in the kitchen. At that time, she would subconsciously scream, and then stomp on it hard without thinking.
She was afraid, panicked, and disgusted, and at the same time trampled on the ground with no spare strength, lest there be a gap for the cockroaches to escape.
She knows the tenacity of the cockroach's vitality, so she will not hesitate to crush it desperately with the soles of her slippers.
Then, feeling that he had done his best, Lin Yu would slowly lift his feet.
If you find that the cockroach can still move, you will immediately apply force again, and if you see the broken corpse, you will be happy and disgusted to stop the stress reaction.
When Danfan stopped, Jiwu's back shattered like a crushed cockroach.
He fell to the ground, motionless, presumably dead.
Dan Fan gasped and stared at him directly, holding the dagger that Lin Yu had given her tightly.
Lin Yu looked back at Lan Li, who had fallen behind him before. He had sat up, but knelt straight on the ground, looking at his brother's corpse, nosebleeds on his face and tears in his eyes.
Lin Yu felt a sense of perversity.
Many times, she also felt such a chaotic error in this world.
She looked at Lan Li, trying to see through the thoughts in his heart at this moment-
Would he think she was a disaster?
The first day he brought her back, his brother died because of it.
How does he and his brother feel? His brother looks strong and domineering, but he also grew up pulling Lan Li from a young age.
Will he hate me?
Lin Yu wondered, would he hate her in his heart for refusing to identify herself? Would he hate her for not being able to keep to herself like other women?
Would he wonder why she was making everyone's lives uncomfortable?
Lin Yu walked towards him, her movements attracted Dan Fan's attention, and she followed her figure blankly.
"Do you hate me?"
Lan Li bowed to her on the ground: "Please forgive my brother's soul, don't let him be tormented by the Eagle God, he has offended you, I am willing to sacrifice an eye in his place, I only hope that it can calm your anger." ”
The custom of Beijon is to carry the dead to the wilderness for sky burial.
If a person is favored by the gods during his lifetime, the gods will send the gods to pick him up before his body is pecked by the eagle god.
If a person commits a sin in life, his soul will be left in the corpse and at the same time be gnawed by the Eagle God.
Lin Yu had been secretly complaining about Beirong's superstition in her heart before, and it was always difficult for her to understand why someone could so devout believe that a "god" she had never seen existed.
She was also a little skeptical now, was Lan Li really willing to poke one of her own eyes blind?
Or was he afraid that he too would be killed, so he pretended to have no grudges, preferring to sacrifice an eye in exchange for his life?
But when he saw Lan Li's eyes, Lin Yu realized that he was always speculating about them in the thoughts of the next life.
She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and she never felt how noble the princes and nobles were. So she would feel that Lan Li's behavior was questionable, but the commoners of this era were different.
Gods and nobles are both irreversible beings.
Danfan believed that she was the priestess of the goddess, and that she was able to explode with such hatred because of the affirmation of the gods;
And Lan Li thinks that she is a goddess and a Yan family, even if his brother dies in her hands, he will only acquiesce to his fate.
"I don't need your eyes, and neither does God." Lin Yu said: "You take your brother away." ”
Lan Li looked at her tremblingly: "My brother's soul ......"
"I will intercede with the gods and spare his soul from sin." Lin Yu said: "Because you have always been very respectful to me, this is a reward for you." ”
Lan Li's face burst with a light of surprise, he bowed respectfully to Lin Yu, and moved from her to Jiwu's side on his knees.
He didn't look at Danfan, and at this moment she held the dagger tightly and shrunk into a ball, like a disturbed female beast, watching Lan Li busy with her work vigilantly and uneasily.
But until Lan Li finally carried his brother out of the tent, the two of them were fine.
Lin Yu looked at them and felt like he was looking at the animal world.
When cheetahs attack, the antelopes will scatter and flee, and the last one will be hunted and killed.
When the cheetah is full, the fleeing antelopes return to their original places and look at the cheetahs, but they have no concept of revenge.
In Lan Li's heart, her brother was not killed by Danfan, and her revenge was affirmed by the goddess, so her brother died in divine punishment.
Not only did he not hate Danfan, but he even envied her hatred for being able to get the gift of the goddess.
Lin Yu thought that it was no wonder that in the long history she had known, so many rebellions were carried out in the name of the gods.
Because it's really convenient.
Now, only Lin Yu and Dan Fan were left in the tent.
The subject of her observation changed from Lan Li to Dan Fan.
Lin Yu asked, "What are your plans in the future?" ”
Dan Fan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I beg to serve you, Lord Priest." ”
"You don't have to serve me."
"Please! Priest! If you chase me away, I really have nowhere to go. ”
"Rest assured, you can stay here."
Dan Fan showed a look of surprise: "Thank you, Lord Priest, for your grace!" ”
"However, I can't reveal my identity just yet, so you'd better not be heard calling me Lord Priest."
"I don't understand......," Dan Fan asked cautiously, "Why?" ”
"The goddess needs me to see something with my own eyes. Starting tomorrow, Danfan, you're going to take me to do what 'we' are supposed to do, can you do it? ”
Danfan was confused and uneasy: "Lord Priest...... I, I'm afraid you're going to be offended......"
"Why?"
"I am a woman of a defeated tribe, a captured prisoner, a slave bought...... In the battle with the Gosmanders, my compatriots have slain countless Gosmanders warriors, perhaps brothers, fathers, sons, and best friends of some...... Therefore...... I'm not popular...... If you're with me...... People will mistakenly think that you are as lowly as I am, and they may insult you...... Think you're a slave to Datulai......"
"What will they do?"
"Men don't do anything...... Danfan said with a pale face, "after I was bought by Jiu, I was his woman, and if they insulted me, they insulted Jiu." But women will look down on us......"
"Will they hurt us?"
"They would laugh at me, some would tell me nonsense in front of their own men, that I had done something that I had not done, and those men would taunt Jiu, and sometimes Jiwu would yell at them, but sometimes, if he believed somebody, he would come back and beat me......"
Dan Fan didn't know what he remembered, and his whole body began to tremble: "His hand is very heavy and painful...... No matter how loud I scream, no one will come to my rescue...... The next day, if they saw the wound on my face, they would laugh at me out loud......"
Most of the tribes of Beijung speak Beijung, but different tribes have different accents.
Lin Yu has lived in the Gosmander Department for the longest time, and naturally regards the Beirong dialect of the Gosmander Department as "authentic Mandarin", so the accent of the Arabella Department makes her sometimes difficult to understand.
Fortunately, Danfan speaks slowly, and she seems to have worked hard to learn the accent of the Gossmand Division.
Maybe she was trying to escape the pain of being ostracized, or maybe she felt that if her accent changed, maybe she could be accepted.
So Lin Yu basically understood.
"It doesn't matter," she said, "that Giu is dead, and no one will beat you anymore." ”
Dan Fan looked at her, for some reason, this weather-beaten woman looked like a bird that had just broken out of its shell at the moment, it saw the first person who broke out of its shell, so it took the nestling plot and looked out of anticipation.
Dan Fan eagerly kneeled in front of Lin Yu and carefully held her hand.
She looked at her excitedly, with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word.
"You are my savior. My One and Supreme Savior. ”
