Harry Potter Morning Light

Ten years ago, a Salem potter once said that Salem wouldn't be a town if people didn't stop bickering.

Sarah Rooker's marriage was unfortunate; her first husband was married twice at the same time, and after she legally annulled him in 1664, she married Justice Hassan's brother, William Rooker. Hassan, George Burroughs was her third husband.

Unlike the husband who survived every Indian attack, Sarah is an ordinary woman, and her husband is going to places that are not suitable for ordinary women. She lives in fear all day long .

This fear comes not only from the war, but also from her husband. George Burroughs was a short dark-haired man who was very strict with his wife. When he was living in the Putnam family, Burroughs was often seen scolding his first wife many times. As for Sarah, He convinced her that her every move was being watched by him and God.

Even though King William's war was not over, people had no hope that she would come back alive. The executioners were indifferent to the begging of women and children. That picture of hell, that girl who loves to eat strawberries can't survive in this environment.

As the government troops retreated, the militiamen in Salem also began to be alert, and Mary Walcott's father had been busy training. And even if you don't deal with the Indians, there is another group of people who need to be on guard, and that is the soldiers from the mother country. Incris Mather has been in England for three years. Three years ago, a man named Andros passed through Salem with a large entourage. He asked the old priest John Higgins provocatively: Is it legal to own all land in New England?

Higgins told him: "I can only speak as a clergyman, and your problem is already a matter of state. It seems to me that the king has no interest in North American lands until the settlers come."

Andros was furious, and he gave the pastor two choices: "You can either be subjects or you can be traitors."

The governor's remarks angered the Bostonians, who, instigated by the pastor, staged an armed uprising.

John Wise, a classmate of Paris, also instigated the congregants in his parish to participate in the uprising, but that was 5 years ago. The uprising was suppressed, and Ipswich did not gain any power. A Boston uprising successfully drove away the governor. At present, Massachusetts has got rid of the nobles forced by the royal family and is self-governing, but this situation will not last long. New news will come from England soon, and it will happen again at that time new variables.

The Putnam family and the Nas family are neighbors. The two families had a dispute over the adjacent land issue, and Nas himself handled the land arbitration. Ann Putnam Sr. lost her father because of losing the lawsuit. her legacy. In addition to the Putnam and Nas families, the Corey family also owns quite a lot of land.

At present, the townspeople are all attracted by the lively trial, and they have not noticed this matter. Once the Indians and even the British return, their land will be confiscated, and there will be no eggs under the nest. The residents of the town at this moment The madness of this may be the last madness.

Paris had never experienced war, and during wartime priests could not only serve as comfort and last-minute prayers, but also as a morale booster. Nas's refusal to pay Paris may have the meaning of driving him away and replacing him with Burroughs. After all, he is not far from Salem now.

But Burroughs had conflicts with the Putnam family, and Putnam firmly supported Paris. The captain of the militia sent his daughter Mary to the Putnam family to live temporarily. This may be his position. The Putnam family was the earliest Two generations of pioneers have lived here. Although Nas has gained a firm foothold, he has not taken root here.

Maybe Paris will ask the old pastor, "What should I do next?"

The old pastor lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You can't let Abigail come forward to accuse old Rebecca, but you can tell Putnam the news and let someone in his family accuse she."

Paris didn't answer.

Old Rebecca, seventy-one years old, was a devout mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, and she hadn't been in church for the last week.

"You may feel ashamed." Father Rosen might say that, "but there are more important things to do now. We must unite the townspeople instead of continuing to fight each other. If you are not convenient to come forward, I will visit Nas's house instead of you."

"Do you think Putnam can influence the verdict?" Paris may have asked.

"I heard that Hassan also arrested two people, but they were not interrogated." Rosen might have asked, "Who are they?"

"Bridget Bishop and Mary Ellen," Paris might have answered.

"Ah, it's them." Rosen didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had already expected it.

Bridget Bishop, a Salem resident in her early fifties with a history of petty theft, had a feud with her ex-husband that left her face covered in blood on one occasion and her body on another All bruised, she stood in court for publicly calling her husband an old rascal and an old devil on Sabbath in 1677.

The couple, who were caned eight years ago for the same offence, were later punished again for fighting on a discipline day, gagged and displayed in a market for an hour back to back, with bruises on their foreheads. There was a piece of paper listing their crimes.

Shortly thereafter, Bishop's husband died mysteriously, and within eight months she was in debt, quarreling with neighbors and stepson, and she was arrested on the same day Sarah Goode was arrested, when Sarah Goode knew that two other women had been arrested by Hassan, but she didn't know who they were, she thought it was Sarah Osborn.

The other woman was Mary Warren, who was just twenty years old. She was a beautiful blonde. Many men in the town missed her, but no one dared to take her into their home.

Women are all like this, even if the scriptures say that jealousy is an original sin, they still can't help being jealous of a woman who is particularly beautiful and can attract the attention of all men.

Americans are very conservative in this regard, and even if the hostess vaguely senses that there is something wrong between the husband and the indentured maid at home, she will not say it because it happens when they are not at home.

What's more, how does the host know that the child born to the hostess must be his own, and she really went out to collect rent?

Poor girls who are completely in the disadvantaged group, they lost their homes and families because of the war, and now they have to be harassed by hostesses, male visitors, and even swineherds, and they dare not speak out. She will condemn the man for a while, but the brand will follow her for a lifetime.

Of course, there are also those who fight to the death and die together. One man was sentenced to sit in a cage with a piece of paper hanging around his neck, which read "A married man committed adultery with a maid in his own house". Man, everyone knows what it says.

Mary Warren, whom no one wanted to take in, worked as a maid in Plottke's house. Mrs. Elizabeth Plottke read a lot and carried a copy in her pocket when she went out. She also taught Mary Warren to read .

But as long as she was going out, Mary could not avoid being alone with Mr. Plotek.

Perhaps due to too much mental stress, or for other reasons, Mary Warren later also had convulsions, but her convulsions were cured by Mr. Plotek with a whip.

Mr. Plotek is so angry with Mary that he claims to cure her convulsions by burning her, or drowning her, or pushing her against a fence, which he probably didn't do because of witchcraft.

What many men want in a marriage relationship is not just to pass on the family line, he also needs to get love and respect from his wife, looking at him like a hero, especially a woman like Mrs. Plotek.

If Mr. Plotek had done the same thing as the man sitting in the cage, he would have lost Elizabeth's love and respect.

Are you a real gentleman who is educated, virtuous, and able to control his words and deeds?

If so, I'm going to have Mary Warren come to work in our house, can I trust you to do it?

Maybe Mr. Plotek regretted making this decision in the first place.

In fact, he could choose to divorce Elizabeth and then marry Mary, so the self-righteous Elizabeth should be the one who regrets it. What would she do if she had no property?

Protestantism allows women to preach. Is it different to join a church and preach?

Elizabeth could leave Salem for Boston, or even somewhere else, just like Rose, who had just arrived in the United States, and she finally left that gorgeous cage and became a free bird.

Maybe she would be caught by an eagle and die, but...she really didn't want to lie on the same bed with a loser, that was definitely the most unbearable and disgusting thing in the world.

There is a beautiful way of death called whale fall. When a whale feels that its death is approaching, it will find a place and slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. In the process, its corpse will provide food for other animals in the ocean. A whale A dead body can be decomposed by a circulatory system for up to a hundred years.

Maybe she can go to the wilderness and become a part of the food chain in the New World, just like the scriptures say, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Each of us is a child of a star, born from the wreckage of the previous star. Lying on the ground watching the sky full of stars "fall asleep" is like watching a hideous soul unable to sleep, thinking about how to poison him to death He is much more comfortable.

It's not worth getting your hands dirty for someone like that, let alone witchcraft.
