Scarlett

"We have to take him to treatment, he's bleeding profusely," I said.

We looked at Luo Fu, his face was a little ugly, but he still said, "We need to take a carriage, it's about three blocks away."

Love and Otis worked together to carry the injured Yosef into the carriage. Yosef finally stopped provoking Love. After all, he also believed that as long as he said something unkind, Love would shoot him impulsively, but it might also be because of the gun. It hurt him so much that he couldn't talk anymore.

"You should put the girl in front of me, so I'll feel better." Yosef lay on the back of the carriage, staring at me standing outside.No one paid him any attention, and Colin seated me on the outermost side of the carriage, the farthest from Yosef. Yosef laughed again, "I've always been interested in other people's women."

We were silent all the way, only Yosef was humming, mixed with his painful murmur, his blood had already stained the cushions on the carriage, Otis lifted the curtain with some disgust to let the air in the carriage.

"Let me introduce Miko Joan." Colin said to Love, he was a little unhappy from the very beginning.Hearing this, Yosef laughed eccentrically again.

Love glared at him, then retracted his gaze and said, "She is the daughter of the lord and his first wife, Megan. It is said that Mrs. Megan was the woman he brought back when he went hunting one day. They were married for a long time, until he After marrying a second wife, this daughter appeared out of thin air. At that time, everyone knew that the lord had a daughter who lived in a corner of the village. She would go to the main house to see the lord only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. .”

"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it sounds like it has something to do with werewolves." Yosef interjected.

I suddenly remembered that today is the fifteenth day, "Then do you think she will be at home today?"

"She usually leaves for the main house at dusk," Love said, "so she's at home during the day. She never interacts with people in the village, but there are a few girls who like to visit her, Tina Says she knows some spells."

""A witch?Sounds like fun. said Otis from the sidelines.

The carriage stopped outside a house at the foot of a mountain, from which you can still see the calm Lake Doyle. Love said that this is the end of another tributary of Lake Doyle.The wind was whistling, and the mountains seemed a little silent.Love first ran to the door and knocked, and Otis stood beside me: "You said that people who usually live in this wild place where no birds lay eggs are old women with weird tempers or fat women with weird looks?"

The door opened, and there was indeed a woman standing inside the house, but obviously, this was not the weird mountain old woman or some fat woman that Otis said, the woman standing in the door staring at us coldly, her face was abnormally pale, her lips Red as blood, golden curly long hair draped behind her head like a waterfall, her slender figure is wrapped in a black long-sleeved petticoat, her emerald green eyes look at us, which reminds people of last night's banquet The glamorous and noble Megan.We all looked at Otis, who yelled, "Don't look at me like that!"

"We have a wounded patient here." Love explained the purpose of coming, and Mikoto Joan still stood still.Yosef in the carriage peeked out his head from the window, "Hurry up and save me, I'm about to faint from pain!"

Miko Joan glanced at Yosef, and it took a long time for her to turn around and enter the house. Otis and Love hurriedly moved the cursing Yosef out of the car.When we entered Miko Joan's house, we smelled a strange smell, sharp, sweet, and refreshing, and I couldn't remember it at the moment.Witch Joan glanced at me and said, "It's pine wood. I mixed it into the fire, which would allow me to reduce the use of logs to start a fire." Her voice was cold, like cedar in the cold, like icy branches Touching the heartstrings. "It also reduces dryness in winter," she adds.

Love tore off the blood-stained bed sheet I tied on Yosef's leg. Miko Joan saw that it was a gunshot wound, and she twisted her body and walked towards the cabinet full of bottles and jars of various shapes. I thought of a new medicine cabinet arrangement. The Medical Hall of the Shell.The inside of the room was very dark, and the sunlight from outside could not come in, only a faint light came from the fire by the wall.She came back with a pot and an iron block, and went to the side of the couch to look down at the wound. "Is there anything in the stone bed worth firing at, eh?"

Love stood aside, "He spoke disrespectfully to the lord.".

Witch Joan picked up the pliers nonchalantly and said, "It seems that you are the only one who has always been loyal to him. Even if someone tells the truth, you still have to defend him, right?"

Yosef laughed complacently, "So, even though you are a father and daughter, you are much more interesting than him." He touched the woman's face with his hand, "You are also very interesting... ah!!!" I saw Just like this, the cold woman took a pliers and drove straight into the wound on Yosef's leg, blood and flesh churned, and the man's screams of pain echoed in the room.It's really amazing, you know, even Knight, yes, the doctor who treats people indifferently but is engaged in the profession of saving lives, even if he encounters the most annoying patients, he will not take a The utensils from unknown sources are directly inserted into the sores that have not been sterilized in any way, and they will not continue to stir the carrion on the legs while ignoring the heart-piercing curses of the wounded.

Only Yosef's miserable wailing and the sound of blood churning were left in the room. She picked out a bright red bullet from the bloody flesh and threw it into the jar, but this was only the beginning, because When she got down, she picked up the iron block and put it on the fire. I clenched my hands unconsciously, knowing what she was going to do.

"You vicious slut, I'll fuck you to death, I swear I'll fuck you to death..." Yosef weakly continued to insult her, she acted as if she hadn't heard it, and only focused on the red-hot iron in her eyes She walked over, Yosef struggled in vain on the bed, saw the hot iron directly pressing on his leg, sizzling, soon I smelled the smell of blood and burnt, Yosef finally closed his mouth , because he was exhausted.Witch Qiong still didn't show any expression, she just waited until the flesh and blood were cooked and glued together, she finally stood up and left the couch.This is the lesson this cruel woman taught Yosef. For all the insults, she is using her own method to directly shut up people like Yosef.

I just felt my heart fall back to the original place, and the smell in the house started to make me sick. Since just now, the four of us watching have not made any sound. If I had to describe it, it would be like watching a kind of sacrifice.

"My God." It took Otis a long time to come back to his senses, and he looked at us: "Is she a devil?"

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" She wiped her hands with a cloth and looked at us, ignoring the dying person on the bed.Love asked awkwardly, "Are you going back to the main house to visit the lord tonight, right?"

"I hope I don't have to go." Witch Joan replied, she glanced at me sharply, thinking of something: "Are you the new girl for the cage ceremony?" I nodded, "I'm Scarlett."

She pursed her lips and smiled: "It's so interesting. It's the first time someone escaped from a cage. You see, even though they were able to open the shackles, all the people locked in still looked resigned to their fate. They didn't struggle, but they didn't know how to do it." Wipe out my only chance of survival, don’t you think so?” At the last moment, I opened the valve of the cage, as she said, the cage was not locked. "But those who escape will face the punishment of the villagers, right?" I replied, "Not everyone can be so lucky." I was referring to my status as an outsider.

"Sooner or later, there will be no more virgins in this vulgar village." She sat on the wooden wicker chair by the fireplace, "Do you know what most of the girls in this village come to me for?" She She said indifferently: "In addition to asking me for a spell to make the person they like fall in love with me, they all came to ask me how to become a woman." She blinked her eyes, as if recalling the girls' request "Yes! Let me teach them how to change from girls to women so they can escape the nightmare of the village's silly games." Without sacrificing and making compromises, you can only live in the shadows."

She rested her chin and turned to where Colin and Otis were, "Where are these two gentlemen? What do you think of the stone bed? What kind of wind brought you here? Or..." She turned her head to look at Yosef's face on the couch Shadow, "What do you need to find the newcomer in the village three years ago?"

I couldn't help admiring her sensitivity, only to hear Colin reply: "We are looking for someone, but I think only your father can answer this matter now. I heard that you will go to the main house to meet Hullman tonight, so I think We can discuss this together.”

She suddenly retracted her sly eyes and restored her original indifferent face, as if Colin's words had offended her.

"Water..." came a hoarse and weak voice from the couch.

"Don't try to find water to drink in my house." Witch Joan explained, "There is a river outside." Love had to go out with a wine bag.Colin and Otis stood up and walked over to Yosef, asking him something in low voices.

Witch Joan shifted her gaze to the white wolf cloak on me again, "Where did you get this?"

"Your father," I replied, "he gave it to me as compensation for being a victim of the cage ceremony." She fell into deep thought again, and finally she squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the bed in front of her, not sure if it was right Looking at someone, she said, "Things will be better than before we found out, haven't you? Have you ever heard a saying," she raised her eyes, revealing those dark green eyes: "Curiosity killed the cat."
