Mrs. Fournier looked sad, she knelt down, brushed the pool of blood on the ground with her fingertips, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's been three years, and the color of these blood stains hasn't faded at all. Remember what happened that morning."

She said fragilely and sadly: "It was a gloomy morning. I made his favorite baked muffins and urged him to pack up and go to class early. When I brought goat milk and baked muffins to him When it was time, he suddenly—"

She was silent for a moment, then tremblingly said: "Suddenly it began to swell, his body became like a balloon, and then, in front of me, it burst open strangely, his blood was everywhere in the room—everywhere— —Everyone said that he was cursed, he was disloyal and disrespectful to the gods and fell into this curse." She suddenly looked up at Shen Rin, and said almost ferociously, "Don't you think so?"

Shen Lin said: "If that was your child, I believe he would not do this."

"I've always loved the gods," said Mrs. Fournier, "but the gods have abandoned us, abandoned this town, Benson and those outsiders polluted the town, they made a mess here! We have nothing The division of blood is the same for everyone! But since the foreigners came here, everything has changed! They made you displaced! They made children like you homeless!"

Mrs. Fournier became more and more excited as she spoke. The blood vessels on her face were clearly stretched on the skinny skin. sound.

"Are you okay?" Shen Lin asked with concern, and he patted Mrs. Fournier on the back lightly.

Mrs. Fournier shook her head.

Lysa said, "Mrs. Fournier, it's time for you to rest."

"I'm fine," Mrs. Fournier looked at Shen Lin, "Call out all your friends, I know from the first day you live here, you are very brave, they dare not live here , said there was a curse here. I brought you muffins to bake."

Shen Lin: "Thank you."

Mrs. Fournier stroked Shen Rin's soft short hair, her eyes were gentle: "You are a good boy."

Shen Lin lowered his eyebrows, suppressing the flickering light in the emerald green pupils.

A few people came out from the darkness, and Mrs. Fournier glanced at them and said, "They are all young people."

"It's so hard to find a job," Bayer said, sitting down on the ground. "Knowing that we are from George Street, no one wants to take me and say we have a disease."

Others: "..." It seems that her acting skills have improved.

Nana also said: "I used to have a lover who lived on Wells Street. He didn't want to be with me after he knew I was from George Street. He even looked at me with disgust and called me dirty. Rat, I hate those people."

"Poor child," Mrs. Fournier hugged Nana gently, "it's all the fault of foreigners."

People from other places: "..."

Mrs. Fournier picked up the basket and took out the muffins inside to share with several people: "I hope you like it."

Several people happily ate the muffins, and the still warm muffins made them feel warm. Bayer even whispered to Floyd: "Isn't it good for us to deceive people like this?"

Floy said nothing, took a bite of the muffin, and said after a while, "This is a game, and we have to win this game."

Mrs. Fournier asked them, "Is it cold here at night?"

Several people nodded.

Mrs. Fournier looked at them lovingly: "I'll send you some quilts later."

"Don't bother." Shen Lin said.

Mrs. Fournier said, "Come right back, and Lysa will be here with you."

Lysa held Shen Rin down and said, "What Mrs. Fournier wants to do will definitely be done, you just let her go."

Several people did not stop them.

After Mrs. Fournier left, Lysa looked at Shen Rin jealously: "You are so charming. Over the past few years, Mrs. Fournier has never shown such tenderness. Well, although she has always been a gentle person, But she never showed it to outsiders because she was a leader."

Floy asked: "Is Mrs. Fournier the lady who organized George Street and Hassanke Street to receive supplies on an equal footing with the others and demanded that blood classification be abolished? I saw her give a speech when I was on the street today." .”

Lysa nodded: "She is a great lady, she said she will spend the rest of her life pursuing equality."

Shen Lin asked, "Why did you come here with Mrs. Fournier?"

"I saw you living here, and I was worried that Mrs. Fournier would drive you away," Lysa said. "This place means a lot to her." Thinking of your charm! You actually convinced Mrs. Fournier!"

When she showed a haughty look, Shen Rin somehow thought of Lilia, he smiled and said: "I met a lady today, I think you must get along very well."

Lysa said: "I can get along with anyone. I am the most lovable flower girl. When you have money, come and buy flowers from me?"

"You can do it now," Shen Lin said, taking out the money looted from Kane, "How much is a lily?"

"Hi sir, a lily only costs one copper coin, and if you buy five lilies, you will get one for free."

"Thank you, I bought all of these, exactly six." Shen Lin took out five copper coins and gave them to her, and Lysa put them away in surprise.

She treasured the copper coins in her small wallet, as if talking to herself or to Shen Lin: "This year's situation is not very optimistic, I need to save more money to buy winter food for Mrs. Anne, Yue Shen The winter in the township is coming very quickly. Tomorrow, the town will be counting supplies, but I heard—” She looked up at Shen Lin, her violet eyes were dark, “The outsider hasn’t come yet, and Mr. Messenger is also missing By the way, he still hasn’t gone to Luther to ask for his pocket watch. Three days later, it will be the ten-year sacrificial day. Everyone said that if the ceremony is not held as scheduled, everyone—including Yue Shenxiang and Foreigners will be punished by the gods."

"What punishment?"

"I don't know," Lysa propped her chin, carelessly arranging the empty flower baskets, "I heard that ten years ago some people got sick and some died."

Shen Lin was silent.

Lysa continued: "But in Benson's eyes, it's all about showing the inferiority of the inferior people. He never cared about the death of the townspeople. He is a very hypocritical guy, can't you see? Actually, we He is the one who most yearns for the life of a foreigner here, but he is unwilling to give up the power he has gained here, and he does not have the courage to resist the curse here. By the way, "

Lysa was very talkative tonight, as if she had completely opened her heart to Shen Rin, maybe because Shen Rin bought the last lily in her basket.

Lysa said: "Haven't you seen people who want to leave here? They are like the zombies in the story who meet the sun. Once they step out of the boundaries of Yueshen Township, they will be scalded all over their bodies and their skin will fester quickly. It's terrible, I don't dare to see another person like this again, no one dares to leave here."

Shen Lin asked, "Is this a curse?"

"Yes, this is the curse. In fact, foreigners can't live here for too long. I heard from Mrs. Anne that the first batch of foreigners who came here had a change after living here for a month. Have you ever seen Mr. Messenger? He used to drink at Mrs. Lina's tavern. I heard that he was a tall and handsome gentleman at first, and he taught the etiquette of foreigners, but he became what he is now, which is a curse."

"Don't the gods love us? Why do they curse us so much?"

"They love us, this is our protection, but... I agree with Mrs. Fournier's point of view, we have turned our backs on the gods, and we need redemption."

"How to redeem?" Shen Lin asked.

Lysa was silent, only looking at Shen Lin, those eyes were too deep, she suddenly laughed and said: "If I knew, I would not be a poor flower girl, now I might stand in the cathedral to Read my teachings, everyone."

Shen Lin also laughed: "If there is such a day, please be the first to invite me."

"God," Lysa raised her face, this action made her look more like Lilia, "you are so charming! Handsome and smart, it's a pleasure chatting with you, I've chatted so much before I knew it."

She blinked at Shen Lin, and naturally took out the last baked muffin from Mrs. Fournier's food basket and put it in her own basket: "Is it okay?"

"of course."

"Thank you for your generosity." She held the basket on her arm.Elegantly made a skirt ceremony, "Mrs. Fournier is here, I saw her shadow from the window, Mike, I have to go back, or the landlady, Mrs. Anne, will talk about me again."

"I'll see you off, princess." Shen Lin said.

"Thank you, knight." Lysa happily and proudly let Shen Rin hold her other arm. The two walked to the door, and when they opened the door, they saw Mrs. Fournier walking over with a blanket in her arms.

Fournier asked, "Lysa, are you going back?"

"Yes, it's too late."

"be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, no one is more familiar with this place than me."

Shen Lin let go of Lysa's arm, and took the blanket from Mrs. Fournier.

Lysa came up to kiss Shen Lin and whispered in his ear: "You said, if all the sins are wiped out, will the gods forgive us?"

Shen Lin didn't say a word, and Lysa didn't seem to need his answer, she smiled sweetly, and hurried away with a basket.

Mrs. Fournier followed Shen Lin into the room and helped them tidy up the room. She still had a serious and cold face, but there was an unconcealable softness and loneliness in her expression.

Shen Lin couldn't help but said, "Mrs. Fournier, the muffins are delicious, can I have your muffins again tomorrow?"

"Of course." Mrs. Fournier's tight facial features stretched out inch by inch, she smiled kindly, stroked Shen Lin's soft short hair - she liked this kind of movement very much, and said softly, "Good boy, I'm very happy You like my muffins."
