Chapter 1444: Bear child six hundred years ago
The news of burning witches spread throughout the city in the first place.
In this dark and chaotic era, people's minds are highly confined. The royal aristocrats may also rely on hunting in the garden and endless banquets to pass the time. However, the entertainment activities of the civilians are almost no, in the double of the church and the nobility. Under high pressure, any behavior that expresses emotions may be buckled with a "witchcraft" hat. This extreme "purification of thinking" has spawned a more extreme and distorted emotional catharsis: hunting witches.
From the early morning, the sky is overcast, and the lead-dyed clouds cover the sky over the city, and then hang down like a hood to the horizon. The weak sunlight can't penetrate the clouds, only in the gaps of the clouds. There was a halo of light, and it was impossible to shine on the earth. The cold wind is mixed with moisture, and it has been smashed from the roads that have been moldy and the roads that are smeared with grout.
In this dim sky, the whole city seems to be filled with dead air. This bad weather seems to be an unknown sign. Some old people took to the streets and watched the low clouds screaming and chanting the name of the Holy Spirit. They remembered the long-standing superstitious stories about the devils hidden in the underground of the city, the dead wandering at night, the ghosts crying in the small attic, and the cemetery outside the city that is said to disappear mysteriously in the fog. They believe that the weather at least indicates that one of the evil forces is working, and therefore warns the family not to go out at this moment.
For most people in the city, however, burning witches is still more attractive than bad weather.
A large number of civilians passed through the gates of the inner city early in the square, and they even wanted to wait here for hours, just to watch a fire. The high platform on the side of the square is prepared for the nobility. The lords who are interested in coming to this "watching" can easily ride the carriage and wear the warm fur to the high platform, but the ordinary people can only take up the early morning to occupy the square. A place on the ground. Such "grand events" have also spawned many people who make a living from this. Some people specially set up positions on the square to help people. Some people set up wooden platforms on the roof outside the square. Two or three small money can get these good views. "Private seats", more small traders have set up stalls outside the square, ready to take advantage of this fire to earn enough bread and bacon for the whole family for a week: if it is not bad weather from the morning, the number of these vendors is even Will be more than doubled.
Hao Ren and Li Li didn't come early enough, so when they arrived, there was almost no place to settle in the square, but the two people still squeezed in with sufficient strength and flexibility, and triggered a curse all the way. After complaining, he came to a position very close to the gun. Lily looked around curiously on her toes. Even if she turned into a human figure, she still seemed to have a tail shaking behind her body: "The scene of the medieval witch burning is like this..."
"After all, people in this era have not had much entertainment," Hao Ren said casually. "This is a time when two people are too tempted to be reported as a heresy. People will only have to 'watch' the death penalty to vent. Emotions."
"Oh, it's really abnormal," Lily whispered. She also saw the vendors and the idlers who made the money by the fire. She once saw the description in this book, but reading is one thing, seeing it with her own eyes. Another thing is: some markets and attractions in Europe in the afterlife are developed on these foundations. Now it’s really a sight to be seen. “It’s said that Mrs. Mary seems to have arrived, I smell their smell. ”
Hao Ren nodded: "Well, wait until the meeting."
After he finished, he looked up at the direction of the stake and waited quietly for the witch named "Heather Anna" to be escorted.
He did not wait long.
The witch who was sentenced to fire was escorted in advance, and the process of tying the witch to the stake on the stake was part of this crazy “entertainment”, so after the hay and oil were ready, Hao Ren saw a strange style. The prisoner drove in from the entrance to the second half of the square: the van was towed by a blind black pony with a black, heavy iron cage and the railings of the cage were so large that it was amazing. The degree, and the railings are also criss-crossed with numerous chains, and the chain has a silver-white luster every few rings, which is made of pure silver, and there are many around the van. The cross and the sharp spear-like decoration Hao Ren believes that the role of those things is more than just decoration.
These things mean that there is a real witch in the cage, not a poor victim.
The witch sat quietly in the middle of the cage. She wore a plain muslin dress with a dark blue belt. The long black hair covered the cheeks and hangs down to the waist. To any decorative embellishment. What is amazing is that the witch does not see any whipping scars, even dirt, as if she was not abused in the dungeon of the church: this is simply unbelievable in this age.
Hao Ren heard that somewhere in the crowd seemed to be talking about something related to this witch. They mentioned that the witch has powerful power and is still hard to hurt even if surrounded by holy water and a cross. It is said that whipping and acupuncture cannot be on her. Left behind the scars, even the executioner who is too close to her will be affected by the suffocation and curse. She only showed some fear of the flame, so the church finally decided to give up her "judgment" and turn directly to the square. Burned to death.
I don't know if these rumors are true or false.
At this time, the witch was finally transported to the stake. She had a heavy chain on her body, and even if she got here, the person responsible for the **** did not seem to have taken the chains: they seemed to be planning to let the witch go with these instruments. Was tied to the stake. Looking at the appearance of the two servant witches, like the enemy, Hao Ren couldn't help but guess what the witch had done to make these fierce and sinister guys scared.
A gust of wind blew, blowing the long hair of the witch hanging in front of her face, her face was finally completely exposed to Hao Ren.
It was a little more tender than Vivian, but the outline was almost the same.
Hao Ren suddenly couldn't help but exclaimed: "I rub... is that little bat fine?!"
Lily also said in unison: "The landlord is really Heather Anna!"
Hao Ren was already in great shock at this time. Although he had guessed that Mrs. Mary and Heather Anna in Helen’s mouth were the bear children she knew, he never believed that there was only one reason: How can Heather Anna be caught by humans?
Such a sipping of holy water on garlic, taking advantage of the wonders of the Bible playing silver swords, and how can it be caught by the human church with only basic exorcism?
She inherited Vivienne's magical talent, is completely afraid of those common means of exorcism!
Hao Ren couldn't help but stare at the "torture tool" of Heather Anna. Most of the instruments were just ordinary steel with some silver parts in between. Maybe those silver parts were blessed with salt and holy water, but they and the demon The use of the holy silver is still a world of difference, let alone such a chain, even if the human church is pouring a dense impenetrable dungeon with pure silver, it may not be able to trap Heather Anna!
He noticed the expression on Heather Anna's face: despite being bound by a heavy chain and being tied to the firearm, she had no frustration and fear in her eyes. On the contrary, her expression was only calm. And a trace of a good banter.
After dealing with this bear child many times, Hao Ren knows a little about her little expression: it is the expression that the traitor is about to succeed.
"The bad thing," Hao Ren whispered. "This is a bad thing!"
"The landlord, you said Heather Anna? It's okay, let's save her and don't have it. She still owes a big man!"
"I am not saying that Heather Anna is a bad thing. It is the gang that the witches are afraid of bad things. Heather Anna was deliberately caught!"
“Hey?”
At this moment, Heather Anna has been tied to the stake. The shackles on her body and the buckle on the stake are tightly locked together. The slamming of the shackles seems to wake her up from her thoughts. She looked up and slouched around the square.
Then I saw the expression on her face instantly stiff, and a huge "slot" seemed to be thin.
A thin man in a robe stood on the stage near the aristocratic seat and began to read the crime according to a parchment (according to medieval practice, these crimes were basically all made up of "made articles" by delusion):
"...Sneak into the cemetery after entering the night, and mark the symbol of the dead on the tombstone...
"Have a witchcraft secret meeting, summon the devil from **** in the apple orchard, and kill an innocent adult man with the devil...
"Abusive regional bishop's mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and up to..."
The reading of the thin man was whispering and stunned, and the people in the crowd had already reached the predetermined positions, stepping on the Leta rune set in advance.
Heather Anna suddenly turned her head and shouted on the high platform: "You have finished xx! The old lady recognized him quickly. Mother's ignition! You xx! Your family's **** are xx! Hurry!"
A series of jaw-dropping screams rang through the square, and everyone on the scene suddenly became stunned, and the thin man who looked like a zombie with no expression turned out to be unresponsive, and continued in a tone that was not too slow: " In the public on the fire ground, insult the judge, the mother of the judge, the father of the judge, and the unclean behavior of the relatives in the judge’s home..."
Heather Anna yelled: "I **** you xx!"
Mrs. Mary’s voice slowed down for a second and followed: “Hands!”
A cloud-like locust instantly slammed into the square from all directions, and the ground under the feet of everyone was squirming like a living thing. The people gathered in the square immediately gave a huge exclamation, followed by crying and crying. The cry of crying makes everything instantly become very chaotic!
A few figures rushed to the fire, and Heather Anna made the last roar in this mess:
"Where is this gang of stupid people? It’s robbing the court! ah ah!!"
