Flying Blood (5)
There are bound to be people crying for this by the Crescent Moon Spring shrouded in the dark night. No matter how hard Lay struggles, he can't defeat a strong man. The two children are like two stones in front of the tavern owner. The tavern owner The two children pushed the child against a large rock and raped the semi-conscious Rai.
The moonlight shone on Lai's body, and the only clothes he wore were thrown into the Crescent Moon Spring, floating on the water like human blood. When the wind blew away the cold air, the tavern owner satisfied his animal desires. , tidied up his clothes and left.
After waking up, Rai was naked and stumbled to the big rock to pick up Aviya and Sandor. When he found that the two children's bodies were already cold... without a single tear, Rai jumped in with the two children in his arms. Crescent Moon Spring.
Before dawn the next day, the craftsman who was responsible for repairing the murals nearby saw three corpses floating on the water. He recognized the dead bodies because he had been to the tavern and saw that after Lay died in Crescent Moon Spring, the craftsman made the third corpse. One thing is not to report to the official, but to come to the tavern. The tavern owner was no stranger to the craftsman, and the two of them were somewhat familiar with each other. When he heard that Rai's body was floating in the Crescent Moon Spring, he was very scared and feared that the craftsman would make it public, so he told the craftsman about the evil things he had done. But the tavern owner was also afraid that the craftsman would be lax, so he hurriedly gave the craftsman a lot of money. It was said that money could eliminate human disasters. The craftsman, who was already living in poverty, did not refuse the money, so he had to find a way with the tavern owner. After much deliberation, the tavern owner became upset and took out two gold ingots from the room. He asked the craftsman to help him build another mural cave and put the bodies of Lai and the child inside, so that no one could see the ghost. I feel like there are so many painted caves and no one will notice them anyway.
The craftsman agreed to this matter by mistake. Once they figured it out, the two people put the body in the craftsman's home before dawn. The craftsman worked for five days before digging out the cave where Lay was to be installed. , deeper than ordinary cave caves. Strangely enough, even though the bodies of Rai and the two children had been left for a few days, they did not rot or emit a foul smell. They looked as if they were alive, and their skin was still elastic. At night, after finishing work, the tavern owner and the craftsmen put the bodies of Rai and the child into the dug cave. After placing the bodies, the craftsmen began to slowly fill in the soil. Dunhuang is no different from other places. The sand and stones are dry and lumpy, making it extremely difficult to fill them back. If it hadn't been for him, a craftsman with extraordinary skills, no one could have done this and made the caves look like other caves.
After preparing all this, the craftsman will start painting. This is a process that he must do. A cave without murals will arouse the suspicion of the world, and everything will be exposed by then. However, for several days, he did not touch a single stroke. The tavern owner looked worried and urged him many times, so the craftsman had no choice but to see how other caves were painted. But the strange thing is that no matter how perfectly he conceived the characters he wanted to draw in other caves, once he entered the cave where Rai was buried, he forgot everything. His mind was filled with the shadow of Rai when he was dancing. Smiling, turning and dancing.
So, unknowingly, what the craftsman painted on the mural turned out to be Lay's shadow. On the day it was completed, the tavern owner came. When he saw the mural, he was so frightened that he couldn't sit on the ground. The craftsman also felt haggard mentally and physically since that day. He was always afraid that others would discover all this, so he hid at home and did not dare to go out. In addition to going to the cave to check from time to time, after accepting the apprentice, his first order was , asking his apprentices to come and see this cave before repairing other caves every day. What they are afraid of is that the stone wall will be damaged and the world will see Rai's body...
