【Notre Dame Cathedral】Salome of the Archdeacon

There seems to be a lot of interesting things recently. Parisians seem to have a premonition about the nonsense, asking each other to gossip, and gradually gathering at the gate of the yamen when the first light of the morning dawns.

"Are there any thieves, thieves or witches who are about to be hanged?" A young man looked curiously at the big notice on the gate of the yamen, where the yamen servants carried wooden barrels and impatiently smeared paste on the outside of the paper. The reason for asking this is because there is a large seal of the Justice Department printed on the lower right corner of the notice.

"I hope so. It's been a long time since there's been any new excitement to watch." A peasant woman who sold vegetables in the city from the suburbs early was stretching her neck with a bamboo basket.

A middle-class woman wearing a white veil and a red-pointed hat prayed viciously: "Those gypsy witches deserve to be tried the most. They make our men in Paris uneasy. I don't know what kind of witchcraft they used. , charm... what kind of obscene things they don't do! The Holy Mother God bless this day to come soon!"

"Who is the foolish old man going to interrogate today?!" John and his friends were distracted by the large circle of people on their casual way to school, and complained excitedly: "He is deaf and dazzled, he should have retired long ago , I am stronger than him!"

Today, notices were posted all over the city, and the common people gathered early. The literate pawnshop owner, Father Yom, read the contents of the huge notice aloud for everyone.

Mr. Jacques, the owner of the hosiery shop who "has seen a lot of worldly experience," shouted: "It's not surprising, there are always people who are tortured every day. There are good people and bad people in this world. It's as common as we eat."

For the people in the Middle Ages, notices meant that there was new excitement to join in. Although it is immoral to base happiness on the suffering of others, most people have the evil nature of "gloating" or "it's none of your business. The superiority of the upper-class citizens of "hanging high", and everyone is making fun of the prisoner. It doesn't matter if others are dead or injured, as long as bad things don't happen to you, today is a perfect day.

And today everyone has the freshest "fun" - that is, the government government is going to try a terrific person, to be precise, a poor ugly deaf man, the bell ringer of Notre Dame de Paris, Adopted son of Archdeacon Claude, our faithful friend, poor Quasimodo we all know.

It's a pity that none of the citizens present sympathized with him. Instead, knowing that Quasimodo was in court today, they laughed louder, and some even whistled mockingly. Only Little John joked and sympathized after reading the notice. He felt a tinge of pity, but it was limited to the little sympathy he had met with Quasimodo because of the archdeacon's brother, and besides, the weirdo didn't know any sympathy.

When our group arrived at the yamen, the huge and heavy wooden door of the yamen was already open, and the people rushed to the door to listen, for fear that they would miss any "important" details. Gringoire told the cold and beautiful sister all the way Smiling awkwardly, Jiali followed behind us with Vanessa on her back. I dragged Claude up and down all the way to discuss the strategy to save Quasimodo. Claude held the movable type printing plate and my diary. with drawing board and cane.

The harmonious atmosphere disappeared when Claude was far away and saw John's golden head moving through the crowd and squeezed to the front. The idlers automatically gave way to this "horrible" wizard and priest. He held his hand and held my arm while I looked around and walked quickly to the back of John. The dark cloud covered the back of John's head, and John, who didn't know it, scratched his head. Inexplicably, there was a cold war.

Claude twisted his face angrily, and yelled at John's back abruptly: "What are you doing here if you don't go to school! Mr. John, please give me a reasonable explanation! Last night I caught him again in the land of debauchery You! You are still hanging out this morning! How many more letters of apology do you want me to write to the professors for you!"

John turned around startled by the sudden thunder, and immediately put on a pitiful expression after seeing that it was Claude, but his tone showed a relaxed tone of indifference: "Dear brother, I'm just passing by. You should praise me for your concern for Quasimodo."

John still winked at me who was biting my lip nervously, I was married to Claude, he didn't know yet, what would happen to my sister-in-law if he knew more? He smiled at me more and more flirtatiously And unscrupulous John, I am mysteriously nervous. This time I officially meet Claude's family as a wife. I grabbed Claude's sleeve and my palms sweated a lot.

"Should I believe you, Mr. John, you have lost my trust for many years!" Claude said with a straight face, turned his head away, and said quietly: "You care about Quasimodo?! Is this more nonsense? Obviously, you are deceiving me."

John looked at me carefully, and I smiled awkwardly at John: "Salome, what are you doing here if you don't dance and sing? Something's wrong... Hey!" John suddenly saw my little hand holding Claude's arm The priest's exclusive black gemstone ring on his ring finger jumped up high and let out an exclamation.

"You...you...God!" John yelled, pointing at me tremblingly, rolling his eyes, everyone looked at him in horror, thinking that he had suddenly suffered some kind of madness.

"I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while, John, Claude and I really love each other, I really love him! We didn't have time to tell you yesterday, there were too many things yesterday, everything was too sudden... we I really didn't mean not to invite you to the wedding! I will definitely try my best to be a good wife for Claude! You listen to my sophistry...no, it's an explanation." I hugged Claude's waist, bit my lip and pointed at John explained awkwardly.

"Oh no! I... I never have another chance! Salome, you... I am so sad! You woman hurt me! I like you too, I like your crooked ideas! You called me that day After seeing me, I feel that you are so special! I really like you! I always thought that we are the most compatible happy friends... No way!" John stayed for a few seconds, and even caught Claude's shocked gaze. He pulled me into his arms to be a rogue, but he looked very sad, crying with a lot of tears and snot, and kissed my cheek indiscriminately, I desperately raised my head back, asking Claude for help, wearing a pain mask , Stretch out your arms, not daring to move, really not daring to move.

Claude tried to push John away from me, and punched him angrily, but John hugged me even tighter. Gringoire looked flustered and couldn't do anything. Belle was overwhelmed. John hit his butt, and his sister twisted John's arm, but he still didn't let go.

After a while, John slowly let go of his hand and wiped his nosebleed: "But this is the end of the matter. Brother and wife, don't bully me, I can only endure the pain, I don't like you anymore... woo woo woo... A heart thief ,I hate you!"

"When did I become a heart thief..." I pouted my mouth and spread my hands, but John's eyes were fixed on my shirt that he just pulled loose, bare smooth shoulders and plump breasts, flowing With a nosebleed, I realized it later and hugged my shoulders tightly.

"Mr. John, why do you have a nosebleed... Also, where are your eyes looking! Nosebleed! Pervert!" I buried my face in Claude's arms and hugged Claude tightly, feeling social The progress bar of the death value has reached the peak, I have no face, and there are many people beside me... What happened...

The men next to me whistled frivolously, and Claude noticed it, and quickly wrapped me in a cloak, warning everyone severely, and the group of people immediately dispersed as if nothing had happened: "I think some people are looking for death ...God will forgive me for the next sin!" Before he finished speaking, Claude frowned and slapped John loudly.

Claude pointed at John angrily and yelled: "Go back to Southier University immediately! I will let the guards of the university lock you up. Without my permission, you are not allowed to play truant!"

"Then can you give me some more money?" John stretched out his hand: "I'm in confinement, I want to eat something good."

"Mr. John, didn't Miss Anne give you a bounty last night, two gold coins!" My sister answered, "Why do you want more money?"

After hearing this, Claude kissed my side of the face and whispered to me: "Little Sha, I forgot to tell you that the woman Mrs. Patricia went crazy to kill that day was Miss Anne Boleyn, Princess Margaret. Your maid, you saved her! My dear! You saved an aristocratic scandal..."

"So it's like this..." I didn't know it, and tilted my head at Claude. It seems that those two women were not simple last night.

"Brother! Did you hear me! I want money! You can't ignore me! Are you as deaf as the governor and Quasimodo! Brother!" Seeing Claude and my intimate ear to ear, John completely ignored His need for money, he yelled anxiously.

Claude looked at John seriously, wrapped me and walked towards the government office, ignoring his pleading: "I have no money recently! Mr. John! I ran out of money to save people last night! Even if I have, I I won’t give you a dime anymore! You have to learn to be a real man and make money to earn a living!” Claude left only a dark and lonely back for John in the end.

"Claude, otherwise I'll give him some money, I still have some savings, do you really care about John, I know your heart...you don't want him to suffer, he is also my younger brother, and I will take care of him , I will never give up on him in my heart." I nodded slightly, and said softly while leaning into his arms.

Claude looked at me sadly and tenderly with gray-blue eyes: "Xiaosha, you are so kind...you understand my heart, I love you, you work hard, keep your money for yourself, I will pay you back in the future Take good care of you, I know you want to help me share the sorrows in life, you are his sister-in-law, love him dearly, so why not me! But I have to let him be independent and take life seriously, if we If you spoil him any more, we will kill him!" I held Claude's trembling hand with tears in my eyes, and nodded gently to him.

"Okay! Brother! Forget about my brother! If I have a sister-in-law, I won't care about me! Sister-in-law! Salome! Give me some money!" Claude and I held each other's hands, unable to bear it, but also helpless , John suddenly shouted to me and Claude: "God! Damn it! Brother and sister! You can use the money bag to tighten my neck! I have lost both money and color! I will become a beggar! I will become a tramp I'm going to find Croban! I'm not going to college!"

Claude closed his eyes in pain, held my hand tightly, paused, and replied in a dull low voice: "Then you go." He didn't say another word, and then led us A group of people walked into the deliberation hall of the yamen.

"It's so exciting outside just now..." Phoebe leaned on the marble pillar and clapped his hands to mock Claude: "My lovely friend at the wine table is going to be a beggar, my lord vicar, it's all your dereliction of duty. , I can’t control my adopted son and younger brother, ah! Your beloved woman Salome will also be lost! She will belong to me, no matter how you say you are a loser..."

"Phoebes! I'm married to Claude! He's my soul, my life! I don't allow you to insult him! Shut your mouth!" I hugged Claude tightly, proudly showing Looking at the wedding ring in my hand, Claude also clenched his fists, furious, but still elegantly puffed out his chest, gracefully raised his head, looked at the cynical Phoebus contemptuously, and ignored his words indifferently. Any provocation, because he is here to deal with business, and noble people don't bother to argue with villains.

"Married? The aristocratic priest and the vice-bishop actually married a lowly gypsy dancer... Hahaha interesting... But, so what, I will get the woman I want." Phoebus was surprised at first. , and then laughed frivolously.

Claude hugged me tightly, with a gloomy and terrible face, I also hugged him tightly, stretched his brows lightly, gave him a warm smile, and he also touched my cheek with a wry smile Face.

"Phoebus!" Regardless of Gringoire's pleading, the elder sister ran over and hugged that guy's face tightly, and kissed passionately: "I miss you so much...my dear!" Gringoire collapsed With a frowning face, he rolled the papyrus scroll in his hand angrily, touched Vanessa and Jiali in frustration, and straightened his broken hat sadly.

"You didn't come to close the case for Quasimo, did you... You are the victim... How can you exonerate that damned ugly monster? No way..." Phoebus hugged his sister, trying to prevent her from closing the case , extremely arrogant: "Or are you just a prostitute? You voluntarily? Hahaha with that ugly monster!"

My sister hesitated, she sympathized with Quasimodo but didn't want Phoebus to think that she was willing, and she looked at me with embarrassment.

"Sister! It's okay! Don't worry about this matter, you can go on according to your own ideas, because I will defend Quasimodo, and I will be his defendant's lawyer! I will not give up on him!" I pulled Hold Claude's hand, my love for him makes me brave, I want to do something for him!

"No... Xiaosha... Even if you succeed in your defense, you will be punished, please don't make me feel bad..." Claude looked at me deeply, seeing his delicate wife who was so brave today , His heart throbbed fiercely, this is his love!

"The decree says women can't be lawyers! No one will defend that monster! You're crazy, girl! What are you going to do? Dance and sing in court?!" Phoebes' face twisted.

I stood on tiptoe, kissed Claude's lips deeply and rarely seriously, looked at his sad and tearful eyes, and shook my hair proudly: "I am willing to be the first woman to play a role in the court, I I can do it! Even if the Holy See thinks I am guilty, I will do it, and I will bear the consequences myself!"
