Kidnapping All Mankind

Chapter 50: Secular and Divine

Sleeping in the village of Acre.

At night without moonlight, there are dark areas everywhere, and only a few buildings in the center of the village will occasionally shine a little shimmer.

In the room made of stones, I didn't know where I suddenly got into a few breeze. Immediately, on the low table made of the same stones, a few lighted rushes began to sway gently, and the shadows cast on the stone walls Shake it up.

"Yeah ..."

To the left of the stone table, a shadowy subject, the village steward, Everett, quickly took his **** out of the seat, stretched out his hands, and protected the flame.

The flames re-stabilized, and in the other three seats of the stone table, the faces of police officer Espier, farmer Barris, and priest Praia became clear again.

This is the church, the room where the priest lives.

At night, the four gathered together because the village cattle were injured a lot, and the topic was naturally how to deal with it.

The small plate containing the rushes only piled up a shallow layer of white ash, and the conversation between the four has just begun.

"... In general, thirty-six cattle were injured in different positions, and most of them bleed. They should not be able to work for more than ten days. Five cattle were seriously injured. The situation is very difficult to say ... about ... about This is how it is ... Her Barris, Hr Praia, I am finished ... "

"Well ..." Barrys nodded slightly, motioned to Everett to sit down, and turned to the priest who became very heavy: "Pastor Praia, that's the situation, do you have any questions?"

"Well, poor village, poor villager ... dominates omnipotence ..." Praying the holy words, Praia shook her head slightly.

"Hmm ... Master Almighty ..." Barris followed with a sigh: "Now that things have happened, there are still many things to come, Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Secretly grasping the point of Barrez's words, Praia frowned. "A lot of things? What do you mean?"

"Xia Yi, ploughing." Without any mood to circle, Barrys' answer was quite straightforward.

"Xia Yi, ploughing ..." Praia's brows frowned deeper, her heavy expression gradually changed to a solemn expression: "You mean ..."

"That's not what I meant ..." Barrys pointed to the west: "The idea of ​​the baron is that summer service must not be delayed, and plowing must be stepped up."

"No." Praia quickly shook her head. "Most of the cattle in the village were injured, and the summer service must not continue ..."

"Why can't you continue?" Straightened his body, Barrys' eyes were burning, "The villagers were not injured, and the plough cart did not have to be pulled by the cattle."

"No." Praia shook her head without hesitation. "The villagers couldn't pull the ploughshare in the commons."

"You can use a small plow."

"Small ploughshares are not enough. If the ploughers are pulled by human power, the villagers will be exhausted in two or three days."

"Pastor Praia, the villagers of Acre Village are very strong. You look down upon your lambs ..."

"No matter how strong it is, it is still a lamb. Lambs cannot work instead of cattle farming. Lord Barrys, give up this idea, this is certainly not the case."

"Well, Praia, it ’s a lucky villager to have a priest like you ..." Barris nodded, but his face didn't look too disappointed: "Maybe you're right, the plow should let the We should not run counter to the original intention of making this stuff ... "

"Well, in this case, I only need the uninjured oxen in the village to temporarily leave their owners and focus on the commons, so that the villagers will not be injured by the careless villagers ..."

"No!" Praia shook her head again without hesitation: "Now is the most important time of the whole summer. The villagers' own land also needs to be ploughed. It is impossible to let the last remaining healthy cattle in the village dry the commons. What's inside ... "

"Of course I can only do the work in the commons!" Barrys's voice was raised a bit: "Even if this is not the case!"

"Yes!" Praya's voice also raised at the same time: "Even if this is not the case, the remaining cattle will surely be completely done! The careless villagers will not hurt the cattle, you Only! "

"... You ... the cattle must be concentrated and watched! Let the villagers go to their own ploughs. Maybe your lambs will surprise you when you do your own work ..."

"Before I was taken aback, the church first surprised you!"

"Okay, okay, dear Praia, maybe we should all be calmer, our purpose is not to argue." Hearing the word "church", Barrys lingered slightly, and then relented: "This Well, priest, the villagers can continue to use their own cattle, but it is absolutely not allowed to lend to other villagers. "

"This……"

Think about the consequences of hundreds of families in the whole village using the last ten cattle at the same time. After a long pause, Praia nodded slowly for the first time, but the tone was still quite hesitant: "... maybe ..."

"The injured cattle are absolutely not allowed to be used privately by the villagers until they are fully restored!"

"This ..." Moaning again and again, Praia nodded slowly again, and hesitated to answer: "... maybe ..."

"After the cultivating cattle is restored, the villagers must first complete all the summer labor in the share before they can use the cultivating cattle to do their own farm work ..."

"It's impossible!" Praia's voice suddenly raised: "The cultivating cattle was injured, and the villagers' own plowing of their own land had been delayed. If they had to wait until they had completed the summer labor, they could plow their own land. It is almost impossible for the villagers to gain anything next year ... "

"His baron will compensate the church for tithing next year and can even double his dedication ..."

"This is not a question of double dedication! Without any gains, the villagers will starve to half. The tithe of the tithe next year can make up for it. What about next year? Next year next year!"

"but……"

"No, but ... not to mention anything but ..."

Praia shook her head vigorously, and her face was absolutely negotiable: "Master Lord Almighty ... Lord Barez, give up your terrible idea, even if you don't consider the tithe of the church, you don't worry about the anger of the church, You also have to think about the summer campaign next year, and the ploughing of the commons next year ... "

"I know, you must have thought of buying slaves. Now the price of slaves is indeed cheap, but what if there is no war next year? Or what if the slaves resist? Dear Lord Barrys, leave a trace of compassion and look over you In the heart, maybe you can find a little mercy! The villagers are dead. What good is it for you and the baron? "

"Your Mightiness!"

Faced with such accusations, Barrys's face quickly turned into an iron blue: "His Praia, my dear nephew, of course you are kind, you just refuse to let the villagers go to pull them every year Pulled on a few plows, refused to focus on the poor healthy cattle, and refused to let the villagers complete all the summer camps they took for granted ... Yes, you have shown mercy, but you agreed to let the stupid villagers temporarily not use them Damn hurt cattle! "

"Leave a trace of mercy! Dear nephew! That's right! It may not be good for all the villagers to starve to death! ... But, your uncle, aunt, cousin, cousin, and get you this seat, or At least it will help you to obtain the baron lord who is now in this seat, and starve to death before you? "

"You ..." Rev. Praia flushed: "Anyway, is this my reason?"

"No, that's not your reason. The baron now doesn't need to be the cause of the cattle injury, but to solve the severe injury of the cattle.

"Villages can't do all the summer service before they start plowing their own land!"

"Really? Maybe we can ..."

A new round of negotiations has begun ...

In this way, beside the low table, a small part was soft and gentle, and most of the fierce and angry voices rang from time to time.

The small fire in the central place is swaying from time to time. The ashes of the rushing grass are getting thicker and thicker, and time is passing by. Secular and sacred interests are constantly conflicting, but the arrangements for aftermath have not made much progress.

The topic of negotiation, or negotiation, or quarreling is inevitably shifted again and again, more and more entangled in "the reason why the baron now does not need it", the root cause of all changes, when the cattle in the village are injured a lot ...

Next to His Excellency Barrys and Pastor Praia, a timid voice suddenly came over: "If the cattle are injured, Pastor, wouldn't you rule?"

Chapter 50: Secular and Divine (Part 2)

nonsense!

Praia, who was not good at secrets, was about to scold, and beside them, two figures stood up staggeringly.

"What are you talking about!" The agricultural officer was short of breath, and looked very excited. The treatment of cattle was directly related to the summer ploughing and the harvest of the next year.

"What will he cure?" The steward also had shortness of breath, and looked very excited. The treatment of cattle was directly related to recovering losses and eliminating the impact of the village's huge change.

"me……"

The agriculture officer and official stood up arrogantly, his eyes brightened, and beside the stone table, Andre, who was holding the small pot of water, involuntarily stepped back a few steps, looking helpily to the pastor: "Teacher ... You are not Did Little Rose heal the cows ... "

"Andre!" Praia suddenly raised his voice.

However, it was too late, Barrys, the agricultural officer, Everett, the custodian, and Espier, the policeman who remained silent, with six firm inquiries fixed firmly on the priest's face.

Suddenly, the stone house was quiet. After a short while, the agricultural officer broke the silence first: "His Praia, my dear nephew, if I heard correctly, your student, it seems that he mentioned treatment?"

Praia continued to be silent, her face cloudy, and her mind quickly recalled what happened when Little Luo asked himself for advice.

How to answer it?

Are you just perfunctory? Little Los is totally nonsense?

No, it definitely won't work ...

After a long while, Prairie whirled countless times in his mind, and Praia finally sighed deeply: "Respect Uncle Barris, you haven't heard anything wrong, it really is ..."

"It's not easy. It's not that I want to hide. Yesterday, the same cattle farmer was injured and bleeding. The godly lamb came to the church, hoping to be rescued by his master ..."

"Uncle Barris, you also know that there is a cure for bleeding and injuries ... but the bleeding must be treated with medication. The village of Acre is remote, and it is difficult to go to the parish church for treatment. Bleeding medicines are also very expensive, and even exceed the value of cattle farming. It is certainly not affordable for poor villagers ... "

"That's it ..." Barrys looked stunned and quickly wondered: "In this case, what is the treatment mentioned by your students?"

"Master of Almighty ..." Praia recited the Word solemnly, and the dim light of the rush hit the priest's face, marking a little light: "The merciful Master will not abandon any lamb ... Follow the teachings, I will heal the church for bleeding The method was taught to this poor lamb. At the same time, considering that this lamb has no ability to bear medicine, I also taught this lamb to find the right herb from the forest ... "

"such……"

After concentrating for a moment, after digesting Praia's words, Barrys, the agricultural officer, frowned slightly: "The herb in the forest ... the herb in the forest ... is it effective?"

Such a question cannot be answered directly by any clergyman.

Gently stroking his shoulders and performing a sacrament, Praia whispered softly: "Master the omnipotent ..."

"Ah ..." Realizing his mistake, Barris coughed and asked again, "His Praia, it seems a bit difficult for the villagers to find the herbs themselves?"

"It's very difficult ..." Praia sighed deeply. "That's why I haven't mentioned it to you, Lord Barris."

"So ..." the farmer groaned again. "Then, did this lamb look for it?"

You ask me, who do I ask?

"Master the omnipotent ..." Praia murmured again and again: "Glory is everywhere ..."

"Definitely go!"

Next to him, Andre's crisp voice sounded again: "In the afternoon, Rose carried a bunch of leaves and grass roots past the church door!"

"Oh?"

In the dim light of the rush, the agricultural officer's eyes narrowed slightly: "Herb in the forest ... Did this lamb really find it?"

"Master Barrys ..."

Next to it, Everett hurried closer: "Tomorrow morning, I will let the old William bring you the herbs ..."

"tomorrow morning?"

For a moment, Barrys turned his head and kept his eyes on the manager of the farmer's face. He noticed that the expression and gaze on the farmer's face opposite him were almost the same as when he usually looked at the village fools.

----

After half an hour.

To the east of the village of Akeli, in front of a humble wooden house.

"This is a cattle farm injured two days ago? How is this possible?"

Barrys' voice was full of disbelief.

The cautious old William rubbed his hands in a hurry, quietly lifted his right leg, and kicked the wooden clog next to his foot away.

The clog just dropped from Old William's hand.

Half a minute ago, when I heard another squeaking noise outside the door, old William stood up arrogantly, and touched the handle from the bed to the tool prepared for the next day's farm work. He quickly opened the wooden door, but found no usual Spoiled the mole or fox in the small pea field in front of the house, but saw three bright torches and a large group of neat masters.

Dominate Almighty!

For the first time in my life I have seen such a bright torch, and for the first time in my life I have seen so many masters. For the first time in my life, I have been close to a real big man. do.

Fortunately, standing next to the empathetic village manager Yvlit came over quickly, with a kind expression he had never seen before, using a kind tone that he had never heard before, and gently told himself that the agricultural officer came only to see Look at his injured cow.

Carefully pull out his own cow and pull it into the light of the dazzling torch. For a long time after that, the agricultural officer has maintained the expression that he is extremely surprised and totally unbelievable.

"How is this possible! How could this be the cattle being injured two days ago? Everett ..."

Finally returned to God, can't wait for the steward to bow back, the farmer put out his right hand, and forced Evlitra to his side. "Evlit, are you sure this injured cow that you just said on the road?

"This ... this ..." Eyes were also staring round, and Everett, whose mouth widened involuntarily, stared at the cow, saw the feet from the head, and the head from the feet again and again, and finally nodded vigorously: "No Wrong, that's absolutely it. "

"How is that possible!" The farmer, still extremely unbelievable, shouted again, pressing his right hand hardly, almost pressing Everett against the cow, "Is my blindness? Or am I dizzy? When I came here just now What do you say about the abdominal wound? "

"Here ... here ..." After searching for a long time, Everett finally tremblingly touched the light red scars on the cow's belly.

"What about the scratches on the back?"

"Here ... here ..." It took the old man another time, and Everett finally found a few uneven marks on the back of the cow.

"What about the ribs?"

"This ... here ..."

"What about blood marks on arms?"

"This ... here ..."

"Everett! Are you sure that you are referring to a bloodstain instead of a flat piece of fur? Are you sure that the place you are showing me now is similar to what you just told me on the road? Is it any closer? ? "

"But ... but ..." Everett flushed with anxiety, his help rushing quickly to the police officer's face.

"Bar ... Master Barrys ..." Espier finally dared to say something. "Ivelet didn't talk nonsense. The previous two days, this cow did exactly the same thing as Everett said, and ... "

"Okay, you don't need to say anything!" The farmer raised his right hand, interrupted the police, and his gaze moved to William: "William / Moore, tell me, the first two days, your mother What happened when the cow was just injured. "

Two minutes later, after listening to Old William's description of being upside down, mixed, and turning over and over, the farmer's angry expression finally disappeared, but his expression of disbelief was even stronger.

Gently stroked the light red scar on the cow's abdomen, and the farmer's eyes turned to the priest, full of incredible surprise and deep shock: "His Praia, my dear nephew, you are right, let the villagers Going to pull the plough, focus on healthy cattle, and force the priority to complete the summer service. These are all the stupidest ideas. The only thing I should ask you is to treat the cattle in the village! "
