gentleman's servant

"Hurry up, hurry up." I kept urging my father.

In the dark, we stumbled down the narrow stairs.

I held a candlestick in my hand, the light was weak, and it shook violently with our footsteps, leaving two long shadows on the wall.

In the silent corridor, only the music upstairs and our hasty footsteps.

"Where are we going?" asked the father.

I gasped and said, "Let's take a carriage to the port first, and then take a boat to the north of Scotland."

"Where's your mother and sister?"

"They have already gone to the port ahead of time and will wait for us on board."

"Thanks to the merciful God, and thanks to the Virgin Mary, I can finally leave this hell, and our family can finally be reunited." The father drew the cross on his chest, and tears filled his eyes.

We came to the back door, and there was no servant at the back door.Because Oscar had already made preparations, his servants prepared good wine and food, and the banquet upstairs was held, and the servants downstairs were also holding a banquet. They summoned all the servants who were free, both male and female. Drinking and dancing, so no one noticed that two figures quietly ran out of the back door.

There was a pony outside the back door, and my father got in the back, and I got on the driver's box, and was about to leave, waving a whip.

At this time, I heard a woman's scream.

"Stop! Where are you going? My God! Stop! Did you hear that? Tell you to stop!" The woman rushed to my carriage like crazy, and was about to hit it.

I hastily stopped the carriage, and the woman was blocking our way holding a lamp. I took a closer look and found that it was Mrs. Avril Lavigne.

Under the dim candlelight, her face looked like an evil spirit from hell. The angry and distorted expression made people panic.

"Oh my god, it's you..." Father's voice trembled slightly.

Madam Avril desperately climbed into the carriage, she tore her father's clothes and said, "Come down for me, where are you going? You bastard, you dare to run away while I'm not paying attention, I think you don't want to live!"

This graceful and luxurious woman was beating and scolding my father like a street shrew at this moment.

"What do you think you are? If it wasn't for me, you would still beg for food on the street! I gave you a rich life, and this is how you repay me? When did you prepare the carriage? Who helped you escape !"

"God, you just... just let me go! I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to leave here with my wife and children." The father begged, "You already have enough money, don't you?" ?Even if the baron is gone, your life will be as rich as ever, and you don’t need me at all.”

"Get out of the carriage, get out of the carriage!" The woman was still tearing at her father, trying to pull him out of the carriage.

"Son, leave her alone, drive the carriage quickly, don't stop." The father said pushing the woman.

I became flustered, because the woman was clung to the carriage tightly. I insisted on driving the carriage for a few steps, but she still refused to let go even if she dragged her on the ground, but her voice softened.

"John, listen to me, I know I'm doing something wrong, we can discuss it, I can satisfy you if you have other requirements, I can give you part of the money, please don't go, please stay, see For the sake of taking care of you for so long."

The father was obviously anxious, and he yelled at the woman, "Take care of me! Imprison me as a prisoner! I will never stay, let me go."

He didn't know what he did, the woman screamed in pain and was pushed out of the carriage.

"Go, go!" my father urged.

"No, she's still holding on to the door." I steered the carriage and took two steps, only to find that she was holding on to the door tightly and refused to let go, and then screamed.

"Come on, help, someone is going to kidnap the baron!" She shouted loudly: "Come on, come on..."

Although there were no servants around, her voice grew louder, and for fear of being discovered, I jumped out of the carriage and came to the back, trying to knock her unconscious.Unexpectedly, unlike her weak appearance, this woman is very strong. As soon as I approached, she grabbed me, tore and hit me, and yelled while hitting me.

I just didn't know what to do, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. When I wanted to cover her mouth, she bit my wrist fiercely.

"Oh!" Under the pain, I subconsciously knocked her neck with my elbow.

After a muffled sound, the woman fell into my arms and disappeared.

I threw her on the ground, took a few breaths, and then hurriedly jumped into the carriage.

"Let's go." I said breathlessly.

Unexpectedly, my father held my arm and jumped out of the carriage.Then he walked to the woman's side and stood there in a daze.

In the dark, I couldn't see my father's face clearly. I thought he was worried about that woman, and I couldn't help feeling anxious. Doesn't he want to leave?Yes, they have been together for many years after all...

The father stood beside the woman without saying a word. Suddenly, he squatted down, as if he was looking for something.

I also jumped out of the carriage and walked towards him, but before I got to his side, I saw an unbelievable scene.

The father held up something like a stone and slammed it on the woman's head.

With the fall of my father's arm, I heard the muffled sound of heavy objects falling on the flesh, and I seemed to hear the sound of blood flowing.

The woman was woken up by the impact and screamed in pain, but the voice was very weak.

"Help... help..."

I stepped forward and grabbed my father, and uttered broken sentences with trembling lips: "Don't...don't hit...quickly stop..."

My father's strength became unbelievably strong at this moment. He pushed me away immediately, continued to lift the stone, and slammed it hard at the woman's face. voice, and the woman's faint humming...

"Bitch! Go to hell!" The father's voice was crazy, the hatred from the depths of his soul was icy cold: "You separated our family and made my wife and children suffer outside. Still imprison me like a prisoner, go to your glory and wealth! Do you think others are rare! You deserve to die! Go to hell!"

Father hit it up and down, repeating over and over again: "Go to hell! Go to hell!"

The scene in front of me stunned me completely, and my mind went blank.

The cold wind of the winter night blew past, icy cold, but I didn’t feel cold at all, because the blood on that woman’s body was so hot, the heat shone on my body, my face, and my hands. The steaming blood seemed to have cooked my whole body.

'Bang, bang, bang'

With each fall of the stone, the movement of the woman on the ground became smaller and smaller.

Under the moonlight, the blood flowing on the ground was pitch black.The woman's beautiful face has long been bloody and bloody. Just now she still had the strength to writhe on the ground humming, but now she is motionless, and there is no ups and downs in her chest.

The woman is dead, she is lying there quietly now, her gorgeous clothes are covered with mud and blood, the smiling beauty has turned into a pool of dead flesh, even the hot blood in her body is gradually cooling down.

Father finally threw away the stone, and he sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, which seemed to be magnified countless times in this dark and silent night.

"Are you crazy?" I wanted to scold him loudly, but my voice was hoarse and thin, and I couldn't speak, and I realized that my lips were trembling all the time.

"We... let's run away quickly." I forced myself to stabilize my trembling body, not to look at the dead body on the ground.

"Get in the carriage quickly." I urged, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

But the father's hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, he said: "Go? Why go? We don't have to go..."

"What do you mean? What do you mean you don't need to leave? Let's run, it will be bad if we don't leave, we killed people, you know!"

"Murder? We didn't kill anyone. The baroness was just killed by the thieves who broke in. Baron Yuzak was also seriously injured, but you suddenly appeared and rescued us, so the thieves fled in a hurry." Father's voice changed. There was a faint excitement in the darkness.

"What are you talking about?" I looked at him anxiously.

"The woman who killed us is dead, why should we go? We have nothing to fear anymore." The father got up from the ground, groped to find the stone that killed Mrs. Avril, and then scratched himself on the head A big mouth.

The blood flowed down immediately, he dropped the stone, leaned on my body and said: "Help me upstairs, hurry up."

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"Listen to me, son!" he yelled at me, "Trust me!"

"You... don't you want to go? Mom and the others are already waiting for you on the boat..." I said.

"You elm head! If we escape, we will really become murderers. Help me upstairs!" He covered his head and walked towards the back door tremblingly. I had no choice but to follow him. God knows I was shaking so badly.

what to do?We should run away directly. If we are found to have killed someone, it will really be over.

Before he reached the upper hall, his father shouted loudly: "Help! Help! Help someone! There is a robber. He killed my wife!"

So when we appeared in the banquet hall covered in blood, everyone was shocked.

The father covered the blood on his head, with tears on his face, and shouted in extreme pain: "Avril...Avril...my wife was killed by the robbers who broke in..."
