Grandma Vito who lived in the village lost her wedding ring. It was said that it was a parting gift from her husband who died in the war. In fact, it was not her husband. When she was young, Grandma Vito and Her lover was a pair of very sweet lovers, but at the time when Sicily was in crisis, Grandma Vito's lover felt that everyone was responsible for the rise and fall of the country, so he went to join the army and never came back.

After waiting for a day, a month, a year, and a lifetime, Grandma Vito clutched the wedding ring given to her by her lover before parting, and she still did not stop waiting. She was already married to the other party, and no one in the village said anything about it. Her loyalty was like a rope that strangled her neck. She knew that she would be destroyed but still stubbornly refused to break free. Perhaps, for her, breaking free was the real truth. destroy.

The elderly grandma was looking for her wedding ring on the ground with her back arched. Her story also inspired other people to help her find it. Giotto and his partner were naturally among them. It was heard that Grandma Vito lost her wedding ring, I once visited a nephew who had a granddaughter in a neighboring village. After discussing with his partners, Giotto decided to look for it on the road to the neighboring village. Anyway, it’s not too far to go back and forth. If I can help Grandma Vito find the wedding ring, it will be natural Just the best.

Although the three teenagers chatted enthusiastically along the way, they kept scanning carefully on the ground to see if Grandma Vito's wedding ring had fallen here. With dynamic vision, she only felt that she was being dazzled.

"Hey, there are a lot of footprints there." Cozat, who was the first to notice that the road ahead was wrong, was the first to speak out. He noticed that there were many messy footprints ahead, which came down from the hillside, and some muddy ground was trampled in a mess. It had just rained two days ago, so these footprints should have been there two days ago.

"It's a big footprint, and the pattern on the sole seems to be the same model." G gestured with his thumb and index finger to measure the length of the footprint, and then said while looking at the messy but textured soil that was stepped on it.

"Is it... a soldier?" Giotto walked over hesitantly. Before the unification of Italy, such footprints were enough to make them terrified. The movement of the unknown team may indicate the direction of the scythe of death, but now Italy Already unified, this is near Palermo again, even if it is another foreign invasion, it shouldn't be so blatant.

The direction these footprints point to is exactly in the neighboring village they are going to.

The neighboring village of Frangau is also an inland mountainous area. After lemons were exported for the first time in the 18th century, the surrounding citrus planting industry has become more and more developed. As far as the eye can see, it is full of verdant dark green, and Italian citrus is the most exported. The most important place is Palermo, and the citrus planting area in the neighboring village is also very large. It can be regarded as a relatively wealthy village. Of course, this wealth is limited to the owners of the farms, and does not include the farmers who guard them.

"Let's go back first." G looked at those footprints vigilantly, and he looked at Giotto cautiously, "Franco is too close here."

"Perhaps we should tell Uncle Gate about this." Cozat also nodded, seeming to agree with G's statement. Uncle Gate is equivalent to the village head in the village. Although he is usually not serious, But seriously, it is also very reliable.

"Don't you think it's strange for them to come here?" Giotto lowered his head in thought. "Except for the fact that the conscription system was implemented a few years ago and the people resisted, they have been trying to calm Palermo by military means in recent years. Why did you suddenly come to such a small village?"

Knowing what his partner might think, G asked a little helplessly, "What do you want?"

"Well, G, you and Cozat go back to the village and tell Uncle Gait about this, and I'll follow and have a look." Giotto quickly made a proposal and looked at the two friends.

"No." G was the first to object, he met Giotto's blue eyes, "It might be dangerous, I'll go with you."

Giotto only crossed G's eyes for a while, then calmly nodded, "Then Cozart will go back first."

Giotto and G have been together for too long, and their tacit understanding is not comparable to that of ordinary people. G can see firmness and regress from Giotto's eyes, and Giotto can also sense that G has made the greatest concessions and agrees with him proposal.

Cozart is not very hypocritical, he just came to his aunt's house to play for a while, Giotto and G as friends are of course very important, but when encountering such a thing, it is even more important for him to protect his aunt and the peaceful and happy village. First, besides, he also believes in the abilities of Giotto and G. "Be careful."

After a hasty explanation to each other, Giotto and G separated from Cozart and went to their respective goals.

[Don't be so nervous. ] Mi, who watched for a long time, still made a sound, she said softly and absent-mindedly [There is no team around here, at least not in terms of the distance from the mountain in front. 】

[How does Miss Mi know? 】The blond boy asked, hearing Mi's determination and composure.

[Although I can't see it, I can feel it. 】Mi didn't lie, isn't it a feeling from God's perspective? [The surrounding area is very peaceful. 】

How could Giotto not feel the peace around here?Different from Mi's 'feels', the blond boy's senses are so sensitive that he hasn't made a single mistake. It's just that he's used to being more cautious, so naturally he won't let down his vigilance just thinking that there is nothing around him.

All the way was safe and sound until they arrived at the neighboring village, but after a long journey, what greeted them was not another peaceful village, but a desolate and quiet empty village.

There are also various objects scattered on the street, people who have lost their life in a pool of blood can be seen everywhere, maliciously damaged houses and messy storefronts, and the most famous high-yield lemons in this village are also scattered everywhere. This place seems to have just experienced Had a massacre.

"Here, how come..." Giotto took two steps forward and kicked the little green lemon inadvertently, but he couldn't take his eyes off the blood. "Isn't Italy already unified? Why is there still aggression!"

[This is not aggression, Giotto. ] Mi looked at what Giotto saw, and sighed unbearably 【It's a rebellion. 】

[Don't you already know how chaotic Palermo is? ] Mi could sense the boy's desolate state of mind, so he just closed his eyes and cut off his vision [The politicians who promoted unification thought they could get something out of it, but with the collapse of the Bourbon dynasty, they got nothing instead, and those who wooed Various factions with support and forces from all sides intend to bring order to Palermo, but because of the rebellious sentiment of the people, the discipline has become more and more strict, which has angered the people's government. Isn't it a matter of time before there will be rebellion? ? 】

Although Mi's words were indifferent to staying out of the matter, his tone was also very sympathetic and pitiful, and his words were full of disappointment with the new government.

[What a pity for this beautiful place like a fairy tale. ] Mi sighed, thinking that he hadn't been able to see this place properly since he arrived in Italy, but now he saw it through Giotto's eyes, but it was a mess full of scars under the beautiful scenery.

After the unification of Italy, it did not return to peace. The incompetence of the new regime made Garibaldi, who led the Red Shirts to unify Italy, very disappointed. The top leaders of the government are all from northern Italy, and they expect to find someone with the same ability as them here. people came to enrich the government, but what they saw was a chaotic Palermo, coupled with the rampant right-wing elements, so the increasingly dogmatic discipline aroused the rebellious blood in the Sicilians, and the situation became more and more irreversible .Mi searched her head for the memories of Italian history for a long time, and only found these. After all, she was just reading books to pass the time, and she was not really interested in studying European history.

Afterwards, Giotto and G circled around the village for a long time, but found no survivors, and some corpses gave off some kind of unpleasant smell. The two teenagers had to say sadly that this was already a dead village. If there is any other gratifying news, there are far fewer bodies of children and women in the village. It can be seen that some people should have successfully escaped before massacring the village.

[The information here is always too little. 】Giotto has not spoken all the time, knowing how soft-hearted the other party is, Mi is also a little worried and connects his senses to take a look. The blond boy seems very dull【If you want to know something, you might as well go to Palermo In the main city, even if there is a rebellion, it should not be able to affect the main city for the time being. 】

Giotto was silent for a while, and finally he said dryly [I just don't understand why people who survived the invasion and encouraged each other to rebel. 】

Mi also fell silent, and after a while, she comforted softly [Giotto, you are still too young. 】

Although Giotto, who has experienced in troubled times, has a certain understanding of society, politics, and the situation, but this child with a pure and kind heart still doesn't understand what is human evil, he still doesn't understand everyone's endless greed, it's just sadness In Sicily, where the civil war started, I don't know when these people who fight for various noble reasons will leave a stable and happy world for their children and future generations.

Perhaps in this world where the jungle preys on the jungle, what Giotto thinks is just a dream.

This dream is like a small seed buried in the heart of the blond boy, and it will gradually take root and sprout in the near future, and then bloom gorgeous and beautiful flowers calmly in the hurricane of this century.

The author has something to say: Many people thought that the Mafia was just at the beginning, and even Mafiaman Domaso Busceda believed that the Mafia was first established to fight against the French invaders. I thought it was an old term and didn't pay much attention to it, but no matter how much about the origin of the Mafia, even the deified origin of the "Three Knights" is to glorify this organization. There are many origin stories of this organization, intertwined in It confuses people's sight together, but this organization was not just from the beginning.

Xiaoyi felt that in order to write a good chapter on Generation G, he bought a lot of books to study the mafia, and he really worked hard.During this period of time, Xiaoyi bought a total of the history of the Italian Mafia, the origin of the Italian Mafia, the Mafia of the Undisclosed Series, and the five major gangs in the United States. There are very few materials that are really useful. Xiaoyi feels that during this period of time The mind is already full of mafia.
