Seven Virtues

"Hey, have you heard?" A middle-aged woman eating cookies whispered to the woman beside her who was rolling dough, she looked a little too cautious.

"I heard? What is it?" The woman quickly grabbed a handful of flour and asked in confusion. She didn't understand what the woman said.

"Don't you know? Oh, it's Mrs. Luo Lisi. According to the village chief, she actually hooked up with Mr. Andre." The woman said with a straight face, but there was still a hint of teasing in her eyes .

"Ah? It's really incredible that such a thing happened. Usually, I really don't see such a relationship between the two of them." The woman curled her lips regretfully while pressing the dough in her hand.

"That's right... Hey, look, Mrs. Luo Lisi is here." The gossip woman quickly stopped talking after seeing Mrs. Luo Lisi, and quickly put on a friendly expression.

Walking on the streets of the village, Mrs. Luo Lisi bought the food she wanted on the street with a wooden basket as usual. The devout prayers a few days ago completely let down the stone in Madam Luo Lisi's heart, and she looked much happier.

"Ah, Mrs. Luo Lisi, what do you want to buy today?" The woman who stopped talking gently looked at Mrs. Luo Lisi who came to the front, her expression still looked a little uncomfortable.

Sensitive Mrs. Luo Lisi naturally noticed the strange eyes of other people looking at her, and the originally happy smile on her face gradually became stiff because of this, "This, no need, I won't buy it today, sorry."

The pressure from the people around and the silent sneers made Mrs. Luo Lisi uneasy. She smiled awkwardly, and walked home quickly after a stiff conversation.

"Really, I'm so sorry, Ken did this and that for her but was killed by her, and he still has the cheek to continue to live. It's really disgusting."

"Yeah, let's just say, there are all kinds of people in this world. People like her should fall off a cliff and die. It's best to carry out the punishment of 'salvation', otherwise the gods will condemn her because of her existence." our."

Such vicious words kept bombarding the helpless Mrs. Luo Lisi, who fled forward in a panic with her wooden basket, but these words also became more excessive because of her evasion.

"Ah!" Mrs. Luo Lisi, who was running away, accidentally bumped into Mulberry in front of her, and the wooden basket in her hand fell to the ground and was covered with a layer of dust.

"Mrs. Luo Lisi, are you alright?" Mulberry said gently to Madam Luo Lisi, and picked up the wooden basket on the ground.

The appearance of mulberries made Mrs. Luo Lisi look much calmer, "Thank you, Father." She smiled stiffly, and took back the dirty wooden basket.

Mrs. Luo Lisi, who was in a bad mood, didn't want to talk to Mulberry, but said hello politely and wanted to move on.

"Ma'am, you went wrong, it's over there." After seeing the direction Mrs. Luo Lisi was walking, Zhen Jie, who was holding Mulberry's hand, hurriedly said, and pointed in the direction of the tavern.

What chastity said made Mrs. Luo Lisi's complexion even worse. After she gave chastity an annoyed look, she quickly ran away.

Mulberry, who was not stared at, looked at the back of Mrs. Luo Lisi's departure, but looked helplessly at the innocent chastity beside her, "Chase, you can't do this next time, do you understand?"

"Understood, my lord." Zhenjie looked at Mulberry with a smile, and did not argue, but complied obediently.

"My lord, I'm a little hungry and want to eat bread." Zhenjie rubbed her hungry stomach and pointed to the woman who was rolling out the dough at the bread stand not far away.

"Okay, but we have to bring some presents."

Although there is currency in this village, it is rarely used. People usually use food more, and they are used to bartering.

Soon, Mulberry took some fruits and led Zhenjie to the bread stand.

"Hello, can I exchange some fruit with you for some bread?" Mulberry said while handing the apples in the basket to the bread woman.

The woman looked at the mulberries in front of her in surprise and nodded happily, "Of course, you don't have to be so polite, Mr. Priest, even if there is no fruit, it doesn't matter."

"It's okay, it should be." Mulberry didn't accept the favor, but continued to insist.

"Okay, then just change one apple, and these bread priests can take it." The bread woman had no choice but to take a crisp green apple from the mulberry basket, and put the three loaves of bread on her stall. into the bosom of chastity.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bread." Zhenjie happily accepted the three loaves of bread, and smiled happily, "Ah, madam, what's on your sleeve, it's red."

Chastity pointed curiously at the red spots on Mrs. Bread's sleeves. Those reds made him feel very familiar, but the brown-yellow hair beside the red spots made him squint his eyes. .

The chastity words made Mrs. Bread smile, "It's jam, red jam. I want to try some new styles recently, so I want to try adding red jam to the bread. Uh, these must have been accidentally touched."

"Then I wish you success with your red jam bread, ma'am."

"Thank you, Father." Mrs. Bread wiped the marks on her sleeve vigorously, and said goodbye to Mulberry and Chastity with a smile.

After changing the bread, Mulberry took the happy chastity and walked back, but when they had just walked a few steps, the chastity suddenly turned around and shouted to Mrs. Bread, "Ma'am, your red jam should not be placed in the It's good in a jar, otherwise it will stink."

After saying this, Zhenjie smiled and pulled Mulberry towards the direction of the church, but his words made the lady behind him completely stiff.

At this time, the middle-aged woman who finally finished eating the cookies looked at Mrs. Bread's pale face and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly, you must be sick, ouch, then you'd better leave I stay away, I don't want to be infected by you."

Mrs. Bread smiled and pinned the long hair hanging down her cheeks behind her ears, "Why, I'm just a little thirsty, so I'm going home first." She smiled kindly, not caring about the dislike in the mouth of the middle-aged woman .

"Okay, then you go to rest first, I will help you look after the stall first." Looking at the wobbly back of the bread woman, the middle-aged woman shouted loudly, stuffing one after another into her arms. The buns filled her pockets quickly, and she didn't stop until there was no more.

It's not that Mrs. Bread doesn't know about the actions of the middle-aged woman, she just doesn't care. What she cares about is whether what she has done has been exposed. If Chastity has really found out, then she has to take some emergency measures.

The more anxious Mrs. Bread stepped into the house, she couldn't wait to close the door and walked towards the kitchen, where she hid a pile of 'red jam'.

In fact, those so-called red jams are really just some rat meat, some stinky rats who often steal her food.

Mrs. Bread is actually a woman who sells ordinary bread. Her business has not been very good, until by chance, because a dirty mouse ate her cheese, she accidentally killed the mouse.

It was also because of this accident that Mrs. Bread discovered the idea of ​​using mouse meat instead of sauce. In order to boost her business, Mrs. Bread chose to hoard a lot of mouse meat, so that the sauce she made would be sufficient and delicious.

Today is the second day since she started hoarding for the sixth time. In order to accumulate raw materials, she has put the rat meat in the jar for two days. If it weren't for the reminder of chastity, she would never have noticed that the rat meat had started to taste bad.

It's not that Mrs. Bread hoarded mouse meat before, but because the previous method was easy to be discovered, she switched to hoarding in the form of clay pots, but this time the method was obviously wrong.

Looking at the smelly sauces in the clay pot, Mrs. Bread's face twisted for a moment. After thinking about it, she still chose to throw those sauces in the drain, and she could only stock up once.

There are countless similar things in this village. In their hearts, only mistakes that are exposed are called mistakes, and those that are not exposed are just privacy.

What happened to Mrs. Luo Lisi aroused public outrage in the village, so one day later, Mrs. Luo Lisi was escorted to the high platform by all the villagers, and Mr. Andre was kneeling with her with an affectionate expression.

"Luo Lisi, it was I who hurt you. It seems that the gods have not forgiven us." Andre sighed leisurely, his eyes looked extremely desperate.

"..." Luo Lisi didn't respond this time, she stared blankly at the gray ground and muttered something to herself.

However, the state of the two of them at this time made the village head standing under the high platform raise the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and then turned around and said to the villagers with a sad face.

"Today, another punishment of 'salvation' will be carried out. This is the second time in this month. As the village head, I am not willing to do this, but for the sake of the order of the village, I can only ask everyone to be considerate. .”

The village head's hypocritical words won the pity and sympathy of everyone, and they all said out loud, "Village head, you are not at fault. It is this couple who are at fault. They destroyed the honor of the village and should be punished."

"Well, since everyone said so, I can only do this. Sorry, Mrs. Luo Lisi, Mr. Andre, in order to forgive your sins, this is the last thing I can do for you." The village chief said Walking up to the high platform, and as the priest, Mulberry also started to walk up the high platform with the snapdragon in his arms.
