Anna huddled in a corner of the prisoner's cart. The night was deep, the stars were mighty, the cold wind shook the branches and made a rustling sound, and the campfires in the distance beeped and beeped, jumping like ghost fire in the dark forest, it illuminated one pale face after another, and reflected the whole camp like a huge tomb.

Although she was the only one who enjoyed special treatment and was locked in the prison car, Anna did not have much fear in her heart at this moment, because she was already exhausted from crying, she only felt tired and numb, and she had no strength to be afraid. Because the day was slightly warmer, she slept intermittently for a lot of time during the bumpy road, and at night, the temperature dropped so much that she couldn't fall asleep at all. Her coat was nothing more than a simple cotton skirt, and if it weren't for the fact that Franc had not taken pity on her and given her a woollen blanket, she would have frozen to death in the prison car.

Anna wrapped the blanket tightly around her knees, but she still felt cold and shivered in the blanket. At this time, how much she longed for her mother's warm embrace, she regretted that she stole her mother's "bird'beak doctor's coat" because of a moment of curiosity and went to peek at the angels outside the church, thinking that yesterday she asked Franc Priest "Mom, where have you gone", Frank just sighed and shook his head, Anna's red and swollen eyes flowed tears again, one by one with a slight fire of tears like broken beads falling on the wool blanket, and after a while this piece became stiff.

She looked at the bonfire in the distance with teary eyes, the yellow flame seemed to conjure up her mother's kind face, Anna was even more sad, she clung to the rough wooden railing, her eyes were dull looking at the warm red, she remembered the scene of being urged by her mother to get up and read every morning, at that time she was always very annoyed that her mother was strict with her, and she was not allowed to go out to play until she finished memorizing the nasty Latin medical book.

In fact, she didn't like to read medical books at all, she liked to listen to her mother tell her stories, about vampires and princes and princesses, but her mother always told her a short paragraph before going to bed, which was the time she looked forward to the most every day, and the more she looked forward to it, the more she looked forward to it, the more tormented the time she spent studying during the day. However, now that I think about it, I am so happy that tiresome daily life.

The more Anna thought about it, the more bitter it became, and a kind of despair swallowed her, she raised her head, and looked at the stars with teary eyes, the sky is said to be the dwelling place of the Creator, and she sang in a low voice with a hoarse throat: "O God, let me pick a star:

Maybe this will calm my sick heart......

But you don't want me to pick a star,

You don't want to, you don't want to,

A little bit of happiness came into my life.

Look: I don't want to complain, I'm in myself

Silence, no resentment, no mockery,

Like a bleeding bird, hiding between two stones.

Oh, tell me if this star is dead?......

So, give it to me, like the people

Give a copper plate to a poor man who sits by a ditch and starves?

O God, I am the same as those donkeys that tread on broken steps......

What you give us, when you take it back,

It's terrible, and we feel it in our hearts

A frightening gust of wind blew

How can it be healed? God, do you know?

Do you remember, my God, that I took the holly leaves,

When I was a little kid, next to your manger

And my mother was there gently arranging the tray of the candlestick.

Can't you give me back what I've done?

Besides, if you think it will cure my sick heart,

Can't you, my God, give me a star,

Because I need it, in order to put it on tonight

My cold, empty, desperate heart?

This mournful and mournful song woke some of the poor women, who wept in the howling evening breeze, and suddenly the camp was covered with a gloomy mist. After a pause, the crusaders with torches looked around the witches around the campfire and warned, "If any of you want to cry, the wolves will be thrown in, and I will throw you all in." ”

The mournful cries in the camp immediately stopped, leaving only sporadic unquenchable gasps.

Anna didn't know what to do, tears flowed into her mouth, salty and astringent, she closed her eyes and folded her hands, and in a voice that only she could hear, she finished the last few lines with tears in her eyes: "Come, sing with the harp."

All loud, sing along with the harp

All hearts sing with praise, and with the harp

Hallelujah!"

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps not far away, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Anna looked at the place where the sound came from in the faint moonlight, and a group of Crusader soldiers in chain mail seemed to be walking towards the prisoner cart she was in, Anna was not too nervous, nor curious, she was so disheartened that nothing worse had happened to her.

But she heard the patrolling soldiers shouting, "Lord of the City!" Anna looked intently, there was really the Lord of Leohhard in the middle of the team, her mother had taken her to the City Lord's Fort to play, she still clearly remembered that sunny afternoon, the tall and heroic Lord of Leohhard with a long beard gave him delicious pastries.

Inexplicably, Anna's heart ignited a glimmer of hope, and she wanted to appeal to the lord of the city, her mother was not a witch who unleashed the plague, but a doctor, and she was not a witch, but just an ignorant little girl. The person in the prisoner car couldn't stand up straight at all, she knelt and crawled in the direction where the city lord Leohard came, grabbed the railing, squeezed her face into the narrow gap and looked at the city lord Leohard, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Lord of the city, Lord of the city, Lord of the city......"

She didn't know if it was the mercy of the creator or if the lord really remembered her, but she saw Leohard in a scarlet cloak walking straight towards her, and as he approached the prisoner cart, several soldiers following him guarded the perimeter, and a handsome young man carrying a sack. Anna knew this young man, who was Aachen, the son of Ralph, the head of Leohard, and on several occasions Aachen had come to her house to ask her mother to go to the castle to examine the pregnant lady, and occasionally she would say a few words to the handsome young man in the drawing-room.

Lord Leohard looked at Anna in the prison cart and whispered, "Oh my God, my poor little Anna, look what you have done, what you have done, what has made you suffer!"

Anna's tears fell again, she didn't expect the city lord to really remember her, she cried more and more, and said while sobbing: "City lord, my mother is not a witch, she is not a witch...... She's really just a doctor, and she's studying corpses to find the cause of the plague..... You should be clear about ....."

"I know! I know! Anna, don't cry!" Lord Leohhard lowered his voice, "So I'm here to save you!"

"Come to save me....." Happiness came so suddenly that Anna froze, and then she cried loudly, but the cry was not the kind of helpless crying to hysteria, but a cry with a little happiness and joy, the creator heard the cry for help, and really sent someone to save her.

"Don't cry Anna, time is ticking. The lord took the key from his waist, opened the lock, and then reached in and grabbed Anna's arm, "Come down." ”

Anna hunched over and trembled and jumped off the prisoner car, because she had not moved for a long time, her body was numb, she stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, Lord Leohhard helped her, Anna trembled with excitement, and even her voice trembled: "Thank you! Lord City Lord! Thank you! Lord City Lord!"

"Yes, your mother is my friend, and besides, the angel has also instructed me.....," said Lord Leohard, smiling, and then he turned to look at Aachen, who was carrying the sack behind him, "Stuff people in." ”

"Yes, my lord," Aachen walked to the prisoner cart, and he put the sack that seemed to contain a person inside, and then untied the rope tied to the tail, and took off the brown sack, and sure enough, it was a person, a girl who had passed out.

Although this girl is not as good-looking as Anna, she is somewhat similar, Anna was stunned, and she stammered, "City Lord..... My lord, this.... What is this for? Didn't you save me because I was sinless?"

Leohard closed the door of the prisoner's car, and was about to lock it, and said without looking back: "Anna, you are the person designated by the bishop to be burned to death, and I have no way to help you get rid of the crime, so I can only use this method." ”

"Oh my God..... I'm going to be burned to death....." Anna said with a frightened expression, she covered her face and trembled, "What do you mean, Lord of the City...... She's going to be burned in my place?"

"Yes, Anna!" Leohard looked back at Anna and nodded nonchalantly, "Don't worry, she's a slave I bought from the market, she's still a mute, and she's not worth much." ”

Anna didn't speak, she stared at the unconscious girl in the prison van with blank eyes, as if she didn't know what to do.

"Let's go!" Lord Leohard locked the lock, pulled the bewildered girl, and walked towards the outskirts of the camp. Like a puppet that has lost her soul, Anna is dragged forward by the Lord of Leohhard, followed by the cronies of the Lord of Leohhard and Aachen.

After walking out of the camp, Leohard stopped, turned to Anna and said, "Anna, don't be afraid, you follow Aachen, he will take you to a safe place to hide, and the angel will also meet you at that time." ”

"Lord Angel?" Anna seemed to suddenly come to her senses, she grabbed Leohhard's arm and pleaded, "Kind Lord of the City, can you ask Lord Angel to save the girl who replaced me just now.....?"

The city lord of Leohard shook his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Anna, even if I rescue that dumb man, someone still needs to fill your place, 666 witches, not one can be missing....." The city lord of Leohard sighed, "You better hurry up and go with Aachen!"

Aachen walked up and whispered, "Anna come with me, I have prepared a horse in front, will you ride a horse?"

"No..... No...."Anna shook her head with tears streaming down her face, "I can't do that..... The Creator will not forgive me for doing such a thing....." She turned to look at the City Lord Leohard and asked eagerly, "Lord of the City, where is my mother? I want to know where she is!"

The city lord of Leohard sighed again, showed a sad expression and said, "Child, don't be too sad, your mother was summoned by the Lord and is no longer there. Leohard drew a cross on his chest, "But she'll bless your ..... in heaven."

After getting accurate information, Anna was struck by lightning, and she sat down in the snow in a dizzy and staggered manner, and now she couldn't even shed tears.

"Take her away, Aachen!" Leohard looked a little impatient, and turned to leave.

Aachen stepped forward, bent down and grabbed Anna's arm and whispered, "Anna, let's go!

Anna struggled to her feet from the ground, she broke free of Aachen's hand, stumbled to Lord Leohhard, and shouted, "I want to see Lord Angel now....."

The city lord of Leohard turned around and said helplessly: "Anna, ......"

"What do you want to see me do!" Cheng Mo, who was wearing a bird's beak doctor's coat, jumped out of the void and said in a deep voice.

Leohard immediately knelt down, followed by several soldiers around him and Aachen, and shouted in unison, "Lord Angel." ”

Anna saw Cheng Mo wearing the coat of a bird-beaked doctor, as if she saw a savior, she knelt at Cheng Mo's feet, hugged his leg and said, "Lord Angel, please resurrect my mother..... Please......"

"There is no resurrection after death. Cheng Mo said indifferently, he raised his hand and touched Anna's head, "But I think death is a good thing for your mother, because she can live happily ever after in heaven, Anna." ”

"Really?" Anna looked up, looking at Cheng Mo wearing a bird's beak mask with teary eyes.

"Of course it's true. Cheng Mo nodded, "I escorted her for a ride, and she asked me to take good care of you, so I came." ”

Anna cried loudly, and Cheng Mo did not continue to persuade her, but gently stroked her hair. As for the others, Cheng Mo didn't speak, and they didn't dare to get up, they all knelt in the snow with their heads bowed.

After a while, Anna stopped crying, she prostrate at Cheng Mo's feet, kissed his boots, and pleaded, "Lord Angel, can you save the others..... I know they're just as innocent as my mother....."

Cheng Mo said lightly: "What if I can only save you?"

Anna raised her head, her expression gloomy, but she said very firmly: "I can't let others sacrifice for me, I have to go back ....."

"Go back ....." Cheng Mo lowered his head slightly, looking down at Anna's clear eyes through the red crystal lenses, "If you go back, you will be burned to death." ”

"Burned..... It's better to go to heaven and see my mother sooner..."Anna was not scared at all, but her face showed a kind of divine anticipation.

"What if I have to let you go?"

"Lord Angel, I won't leave, even if you ask someone to take me, I'll still find a way to come back.....," Anna whispered.

"Anna, how can you speak to Lord Angel like that!" Lord Leohhard scolded at a loud voice.

Anna hurriedly prostrated down again, and said stubbornly: "Please forgive me, Lord Angel....."

Cheng Mo was silent for a moment, then turned to the city lord of Leohhard and said, "Take her back! Send someone to protect her, as well as give her some food and clothes." ”

"Yes, Lord Angel!" said Lord Leohhard at once.

"You come with me. Cheng Mo said to Leohard, "I have something for you to do!"
