Chapter 257: 256. The Woman Forced to Marry (Part 2)
Chapter 257 256. A Woman Forced to Marry (Part 2)
Two clerks chased up the path with a thick parchment book in their arms. They stood at the intersection by the stream, searching the crowd with their eyes, and soon found Selina, who was half-kneeling on the stone bank by the stream.
The two clerks looked at Serena suspiciously, and then glanced at Suldak who was soaking in the stream.
Suldak stood up from the stream, he washed off the dirt on his body, and the scars left by the burns on his body were more clearly revealed. The skin on the chest and back is full of bluish-purple and flesh-pink scars, and some of the scars are connected together like a centipede. Although this is the appearance after the Holy Light has cured it, it still looks a little shocking.
When the children around the stream saw the scars on Suerdak's body, they all let out low voices in unison.
Selina took out a piece of loofah from the tub, and touched Suldak's shoulder with her cold hand, trembling slightly.
Suldak saw the little girl under the skirt staring at him with round eyes, with a look of fear on his face. He sat on a stone by the stream that was washed very clean by the stream, and pointed to the piece on his chest. The dark purple scar asked Signa who was hiding between Selena's legs: "Signa, are you afraid?"
The little girl pursed her mouth and shook her head vigorously. Her two little feet stepped on the water, looking like a poor little Miaomoo. She looked at the two clerks with some concern, Su Er Only then did Dak know the root of the little girl's fear.
"What happened?" Suldak raised his head and asked the person dressed as a clerk.
Although he did not wear a knight badge on his chest, the two civil clerks of the city hall said very respectfully: "We have passed the population check this time, and we know that there are some widows of fallen soldiers left in Wall Village."
Hearing what the clerk said, Suerdak immediately thought of the failure of the Battle of Moyunling. At least 10,000 soldiers died in Moyunling. This may affect Tarapa, Osorno County, Bena Province. He frowned and stared at the clerk, waiting for him to continue speaking.
The clerk felt a little uncomfortable under the gaze of Suldak. He coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment, and then said according to the script: "According to the Constitution of the Green Empire, these widows who died in battle must If you want to remarry within this year, we hereby notify all the villages in the surrounding area of Hailansa City."
The eyes of the two clerks swept across the crowd at the same time, but they couldn't find the person they were looking for, so they could only bite the bullet and say: "But after our investigation, we found that Ms. Selena's husband died three years ago. A blight in winter, which means Lady Selena must remarry."
They tried to get closer to Selena again. Although Selena didn't have any expression on her face, Suldak could feel her breathing became a little short, and her hand holding the loofah almost dug her nails into the flesh. Although the expression on her face seemed calm, her body actually betrayed her, and her body was even trembling.
Suldak looked at the clerk suspiciously, and then asked him, "Can't you see me?"
His eyes are as sharp as knives. A soldier who has stepped down from the battlefield has been baptized in blood and seen real death. He has the coercion of a strong man.
"Huh?" The two clerks were a little slow to respond, because this obviously did not match the information they had learned.
"I mean, can't you see me? I... the Suldak knight is standing in front of you, but you turn a blind eye to me, and take her away in front of me?" He slammed off the stone The son stood up and said to the clerk with his chest out.
"Me!" Suldak grinned, and pointed to the scar on his shoulder. That scar was probably the only scar left on the Warsaw plane battlefield. The rest of these burns were not left on the battlefield. He felt that he couldn't point to the wrong place, so he clicked on the scar three times in a row, and then said: "...I fought **** battles on the Warsaw plane, you can take a look at what those evil spirits have left on me, but you What is going on behind the scenes?"
At this time, the two clerks understood a little bit, and asked a little weakly: "Knight Suldak, what do you mean... that you plan to marry Ms. Selina?"
"Can't you see this?" Suldak seemed very dissatisfied and snorted.
Hastily bowed down and gave a salute, and said repeatedly: "Sorry, this time we didn't investigate enough, please forgive me for causing you trouble!"
Some of the surrounding villagers who came to watch saw that the clerk who came from Hailansa City admitted that it was his mistake in his work. No matter what the truth was, it was the Suldak knight in his village who took the blame. Immediately there was an uproar, and they even felt that being able to make the two clerks who were usually high-spirited a little bit at a loss, this should be the biggest victory in the history of Wall Village.
The two clerks stood at the intersection, seeing the excitement of the villagers, they immediately realized that they should leave here.
Then he left in a hurry amidst the boos of the surrounding villagers. This kind of clerk doing census is probably the most difficult group of people in the city hall to work. In other words, this is a job that requires a certain mass base to do well.
Suldak stood shirtless, standing in the middle of the crowd, and stretched out his hand to stop the boos of the villagers. He felt that the two clerks should pay the most basic respect. After all, they represent the consul of Hailansa City.
At this time, Selena was still half kneeling by the stream, with a swan-like noble and snow-white neck drooping. She knelt there with her head bowed and her chest folded. The stream on the bank had already soaked her linen skirt, which made the long skirt tight. Wrapping her round legs tightly, the little girl stood beside her with her skirt, looking at the scene in front of her with a bewildered expression, while the beautiful woman who was half kneeling on the ground seemed to have exhausted everything in her body. With such strength, she hugged the little girl with one arm, and her originally cold face was already covered with tears.
The old village chief took two deep puffs of his cigarette, and sighed softly under the chestnut tree beside him: "This is also a miserable woman."
From the beginning to the end of this matter, the old village head has been sitting silently under the chestnut tree, neither obstructing nor dealing with it, which is very contrary to his usual rules of conduct.
Suldak turned around and put on the leather armor, then walked to the stream, stretched out his hand and pulled up Selina who was kneeling by the stream, and in full view, separated the crowd by the stream and walked out.
Bringing Selena back to the door of her house that looked more like a dilapidated house, Suldak looked at Selena with some embarrassment, as if she would not refuse even if he dragged her into the stone house at this time...
He pondered for a while, then took a deep breath, extinguished the eager thoughts in his heart, and said to the beautiful woman in front of him who kept her head down: "They probably won't come for a while..."
The "they" in Suldak's words refer to the two clerks.
Selina was shocked, and looked up at Suldak in a panic.
Suldak showed a helpless wry smile: "I didn't say to ignore you, I just want to say that we should give each other some time, so that we can get to know each other well, after all, there will be more in the future." It's a long way to go, and I have to convince old Sheila and Natasha, you know the situation in my family, and their ideas are also very important to me..."
Seeing Suldak's figure about to disappear on the village road, Selina who was standing at the door raised her neck slightly.
Her beautiful but indifferent eyes seemed to have a ray of hope rising, and her slightly **** lips raised a slight upward curve.
…
Drinking a bowl of sweet and delicious chestnut rice porridge, even without any side dishes, the sweet chestnut rice porridge will slide down the throat consciously into the stomach, and Suldak sinks his head into the big wooden bowl as a way to Avoiding the eyes of old Sheila, Rita and Natasha...
