The figure of the cowherd's second son had disappeared, and beside the public land, the voices of the villagers talking became louder and louder, and the faces of the steward Ifrit and the police officer Espir were getting worse and worse.
Unknowingly, the villagers turned their heads and looked towards the end of the trail to the west of the village. In the same direction, Ifrit also raised his feet again and stretched his neck again and again.
However, after a long, long time, until the fourth bell rang in the direction of the church, Ifrit's eyes almost burst into flames, and the end of the trail to the west of the common was still empty. The cattleman Brown, or the eldest son Baker, the second son Green, nothing appeared from the beginning to the end.
"Bastard! Bastards! Stupid pigs! Prisoners! Slaves forever!"
Obviously, as an upper class person in the village, even when he was cursing, Mr. Steward showed a superior and rich vocabulary: "What the hell are these idiots doing!"
"Radiz! Sika!" Turning to the cowherd's younger brother and the cowherd's nearest neighbor, Ifrit uttered another growl that could be heard clearly by almost all the villagers: "You two, go and have a look now!"
Also trembling all over, Raditz and Sika turned around and ran to the west of the village.
Just after taking a few steps, Ifrit shouted again from behind: "If you don't come back, you never have to come back!"
Hearing the undisguised fury of the steward's roar, the cowherd brother and the cowherd neighbor obviously stopped suddenly at the same time, and when they started to walk again, their pace was obviously much faster again.
Time passed very slowly.
I don't know when it started, the pattering raindrops stopped falling, the dark clouds gradually disappeared, and the sky became bright again.
The villagers waited until their eyes became sore, their legs and feet swelled, and Ifrit, who had been standing on tiptoes all the time and stretched his neck, waited until he was about to grow a little taller. At the corner of the west of the public land, at the end of the muddy path, two people finally appeared. A small figure.
It was Raditz and Sika, the younger brother of the cowherd and the nearest neighbor of the cowherd. They both ran all the way, with great strides, but the speed was not very fast, because the bodies of the two running were crooked, His footsteps were staggering, and even when he was about to pass the holy talisman at the intersection, Raditz suddenly fell to the ground and lay on the muddy ground on the flat road.
Seeing such a situation, without any other prompts, the cowherd's wife, the village steward, and the nervous policeman rushed over quickly, and the villagers who were watching by the side also began to move forward involuntarily.
Before the crowd approached, Raditz, the pale and frightened brother of the cowherd who was running ahead, suddenly fell down again. He just struggled to get up, and before he could take two steps, his legs went limp again, and he fell again. After getting into the mud, Raditz used both hands and feet, staggering again and again, the road was wet and muddy, coupled with anxiety, Raditz was covered in mud all over his head, face, body, and everywhere, but he still couldn't stabilize himself. Stand up firmly again.
While struggling, the cowherd's wife, the village police officer, and the running steward got closer and closer, and Raditz became more and more anxious, his movements became bigger and bigger, and he fell heavily again. Rushing to the front, Raditz gave up struggling and raised his head from the mud. Tears were streaming down his face at some point. Before the few people who approached him could ask questions, Raditz looked at the pale-faced cowherd's wife, and burst into tears: "It's over! Lamir, it's all over! Lamir, we're over!"
Such screams and wailing, before the cowherd's wife Lamir had time to ask, the face of Ifrit's steward also instantly turned completely pale.
Stepping into the dirty quagmire without hesitation, ignoring the muddy water quickly soaking his trousers, Ifrit suddenly leaned over and grabbed Raditz with both hands: "It's over? What's over? What happened? What happened? What's up?"
"It's over... It's over..." Raditz didn't resist, his body shook, and he just continued to cry loudly, tossing and turning like a raving: "...It's all over...Everything is over..."
"Bastard! Bastards! Stupid pig!" A series of curses burst out manically, and the next moment, the short Ifrit steward violently pinched Raditz out of the mud : "What happened? What happened!"
I don't know if he finally got out of the muddy water, or if his neck was tightly strangled, Raditz's face was flushed, and his words finally became clear: "Brown is over... Baker is over...Green is over... Cows are over...all over! The cows in the village It's over! It's over!"
"what?"
As if struck by a thunderbolt, Ifrit suddenly lost his mind, unable to let go of his hands, and the next moment, the short steward suddenly bent down again, grabbing Raditz who had just fallen to the ground again.
"Bull! It's over! It's over!" Grabbing Raditz tightly, Ifrit had a ferocious face, his eyes were spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth word by word and asked, "Here! What! What! What! What! Place! Fang! Take! Me! Pass! Go!"
"It's over... It's over... It's all over..."
Raditz's words didn't last long. Raditz couldn't respond to the steward's question. This blind-eyed cowherd brother, his upper body was dragged up by the steward, and his lower body fell limply to the ground. He opened his mouth. Hey, the rest is muttering to himself: "It's over... It's over..."
"Prisoner! Slave forever!"
Throwing Raditz into the mud angrily, Steward Ifrit shook his head violently. His fire-breathing eyes stared viciously at the cowherd neighbor who was also pale and trembling: "To! Bottom! Yes! What! What! Place! Place! Take! Me! Pass! Go!"
"This... this... side..."
The cowherd's neighbor, the trembling Sikar, just stretched out his right hand and pointed to the west of the village. Ifrit had already grabbed Sikar's shoulders, dragged the poor guy, and rushed out quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of the village police officer Espir also disappeared at the corner of the trail.
The steward and the police officers left at the same time. The cattle in the village were absent from the summer service and were thrown beside the public land. The villagers talked a lot, not knowing what to do. A few families who were usually close to the cowherd’s family came together in a panic. Beside the cowherd's wife and Raditz, it didn't take long for the villagers to see the completely unconcealable horror and hesitation on the faces of these people.
----
Ten minutes later, police officer Espier ran back to the common, gathered dozens of able-bodied villagers, led them, and hurried to the west of the village.
Beside the hillside, Ifrit, who had no blood on his face, staggered and stumbled a few steps towards the center of the village, in the direction of his house.
----
After half an hour.
The messenger of the village, riding the steward's mount, the only thin horse in the village, quickly passed by everyone, and rushed towards the lord's castle at a speed that the villagers had never seen before.
----
an hour later.
There was noise and turmoil around the commons.
From the west of the village to the big trees beside the road, the shrubs, weeds, and mud along the way are mottled with blood everywhere.
On both sides of the path, more than 30 scarred cattle were restless and moaning from time to time. Next to these cattle, all the family members of the densely packed hundreds of cattle cursed and cursed louder.
A little farther away, the injuries were more serious, and they could no longer move. The five or six cattle that were carried back panting by dozens of healthy villagers were placed flat in the haystacks that were moved in hastily, and they twitched from time to time, feeling heavy. Panting, every time the cattle twitched or panted, it would make dozens of nearby villagers wail in pain, and the wailing sound became more miserable.
A little further away, three men collapsed powerlessly in the mud.
On the far left is Brown, with a cane around his neck. When he fell, he was blocked by short stones and thorns. In the end, he was trampled by nearly ten hooves, half of his body was bloody;
In the middle is Beck, who kicked away a branch blocking the way at random, and suddenly a big rock fell from his head, and couldn't dodge it, hitting the shoulder, Beck with a weirdly twisted right arm;
On the far right is Green, walking across the hillside and stepping on a series of leaves, suddenly fell down and grabbed a lot of mud, fell down the valley inexplicably, Green with bones exposed on his left leg;
----
After two hours.
The public area is much cleaner.
The more than 30 cattle that can move around have been driven back to their families. The five or six cattle that were seriously injured and unable to move around were also carried by the villagers to their wooden carts and sent back to their respective wooden houses. .
Returning in a hurry, Ifrit, the steward who hastily arranged everything, was still staggering and shaking.
After rushing back to the cattle, carrying them away, and taking care of them, less than half of the villagers left beside the public land.
The day’s summer duty plowing finally started. The last dozen or so good cattle were collected and put on three large plow trucks. A dozen cart-type and plow-type people took care of each of them, and walked carefully in the front.
The work was less than half of the usual work, and the villagers were naturally very relaxed, but no one felt happy. All the remaining villagers were weak and waved the tools in their hands slowly and absent-mindedly.
Next to the public land, the steward Ifrit and the police officer Espiel have no intention of accusing the almost blatant laziness and perfunctory in front of them. From time to time, they look eagerly towards the direction of the village, and occasionally glance into the mud, with only Ramir beside them When the three cowherds were sneezing silently and no one paid attention to them, and they were still powerlessly collapsed, their eyes would be the same as those of the remaining villagers, shooting out endless anger and deep ferocity.
----
Five hours later.
The time was approaching evening, the sky was already dark, and it was already the end of the summer service. However, beside the public land, the stewards and police officers with chapped lips and countless white marks were squeezed out of their fists, but they did not make any sound for a long time.
----
Six and a half hours later.
The sky was almost completely dark, and it had been a long time since the end of the summer service. The villagers who had stopped their farm work, and the stewards and police officers who had not responded to this, suddenly heard a series of hurried hoofbeats at the same time.
To the east of the village, in the direction of the lord's castle, four tall black shadows rushed across a corner. The sound of horseshoes suddenly resounded, and the image of the black shadows became clearer and clearer. On the road, the ashen-faced agricultural officer, with three attendants, came into the eyes of the villagers.
