Sorry, Daisy, I won't hurt you, would you like something to eat? "

The girl took the bowl tremblingly, took two sips cautiously, and after regaining a short period of calm, she slowly stood up and looked at Ferdinand who was sitting across from her with empty brown eyes: "Black hair," she said.

Ferdinand nodded: "I'm black-haired, that's right."

"It's not him..." The girl looked at the other person's eyebrows, "It's not..."

"I'm Ferdinand/Ralph/Hawley." Ferdinand introduced, pointing to himself, "I'm just lost, I won't hurt you."

The girl nodded hesitantly and put the empty bowl on the table. Ferdinand was hungry and filled a bowl for himself, but the overly hot porridge made him cough uncontrollably. The girl was startled by him and stepped back. a few steps.

She looked a little crazy, Ferdinand thought, but he reassured her in the softest tone: "It's all right, it's all right."

Daisy leaned over again: "Slow...slow..."

Is she persuading herself to eat slowly?Ferdinand nodded with a smile: "Thank you."

The girl lowered her eyelids and fiddled with her fingers. Ferdinand finally finished his meal in a moment of peace. He noticed that the girl looked at him from the corner of her eye from time to time, as if she had something to say.

"Do you want to tell me something?" Ferdinand asked.

The girl opened her eyes wide in horror, but the other person's expression was too fragile and gentle. Daisy thought about it and said, "Just now...I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, Daisy." A smile appeared on the corner of Ferdinand's mouth.

After wandering around the village for a long time, Joseph finally found Dr. Bradley, who was about to leave in a carriage.Joseph remembered that the doctor had been in the village since he was very young and had never left Knopplington, and now he seemed ready to leave with all his belongings.

"Doctor!" The horse under Joseph's crotch was obviously faster than those old pack horses. He came to the carriage and bent down to look at the doctor. "Doctor, where are you going?"

"I..." Dr. Bradley showed a little panic and fear on his face, "I... am going to visit my relatives in the city."

But Joseph had never heard that the doctor had relatives in the city, and at the same time a familiar aroma wafted out vaguely, so he went straight to the topic: "Doctor, have you met my employer, Mr. Hawley?"

The elderly doctor lowered his face and shook his head: "I haven't seen it before, I went to bed early yesterday, you know, it's always so..."

After hearing these words, Joseph immediately jumped off the horse. He opened the door of the carriage and dragged Dr. Bradley out. "I never said he disappeared yesterday!" Joseph shouted at him.

"Let me go!" exclaimed Dr. Bradley. "I don't know, I don't know anything! Let me go!" Just as he realized he couldn't break free from the strong man's hand, he pulled the He took a bottle and sprinkled it on Joseph.

Joseph blocked it with his arm, and a strong fragrance came to his face. Suddenly, he remembered that when he woke up in his room in the morning, he smelled this fragrance.Quickly covering his nose, he lifted Dr. Bradley up with his free hand.

"Tell me where he is!!!" Dr. Bradley heard the usually mild-looking young man shout in his ear.

The arrival of night made people feel helpless in fear. Ferdinand heard the strange scream of an unknown animal outside the door, and looked back at the girl.

The girl followed behind him with vigilant eyes, Ferdinand sighed, "Sorry, I just borrowed a place to live, and I promise not to touch you."

Under Daisy's suspicious gaze, the black-haired man found a place farthest away from her and sat down, and closed his eyes after lying down.The girl watched him without closing her eyes until late at night, when she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep sitting up.

The cold night made Ferdinand cough uncontrollably, and the robe he wrapped tightly around his body could not stop the chill from attacking, but there was no room for pickiness in this environment, the black-haired man gritted his teeth, curled up his body and waited The arrival of dawn.

He didn't sleep deeply, but he had many dreams. In the dream, some man-eating monsters were chasing him. He fell into an ice cellar, which was dark and cold, and he couldn't climb out. When he finally despaired, the ice cellar It started to collapse again.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A random knock on the door pulled Ferdinand out of his nightmare. He opened his eyes dazedly, and saw the door vibrate amidst the kicking of something.The black-haired man turned his head and saw Daisy who was cowering in the corner, and decided to find a weapon first before going to see what it was.He picked up the tongs leaning against the wall, and looked out through the crack of the door. There were two people outside the door, and they didn't look aggressive.

"Do you know them?" Ferdinand asked softly.

The girl nodded: "Grab... grab food... hit me..."

Although the sentence was incoherent, Ferdinand probably understood what she meant. The door was crumbling under the influence of external forces, and the cursing outside the door was even more unbearable. After thinking about it, Ferdinand decided to open the door.

The two men looked like hunters nearby. They were taken aback when they saw a man who opened the door, and then smiled obscenely: "I didn't expect a cousin like you to find a little boy, and you are still restless with a big belly." , It's disgusting!"

Daisy hid under the table in embarrassment, covering her ears under the disheveled hair with her hands. It seems that this is not the first time she has been robbed, and the poor pregnant girl who has no strength to restrain the chicken can only pass through such things. way to get through.

Orion laughed when he saw the poker in Ferdinand's hand, "Sir, do you want to use this thing to protect your mistress? I don't think you can even protect yourself!"

One of the hunters reached out to yank the dark-haired man away, but Ferdinand reached out, and his swift fencing stance left a trail of blood on the back of his dirty hand.

"Ah!" Orion yelled after seeing his wound, took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Ferdinand.

The black-haired gentleman adjusted his breathing, and quickly blocked it. The metal collided and let out a piercing whine. Although Orion was strong, he was shocked by the blow and took several steps back.

The two hunters had never seen a man who was so unafraid of them. In their eyes, this man was really not strong, and even looked slender and fragile, especially his pale skin, as if he would fall down at any time.But that tall and straight back and fearless expression made him look like an awe-inspiring knight who is inviolable.

"Who the hell are you?!" Orion asked, looking at the pale man in the tattered dark blue velvet coat.

"It's just a passerby." Ferdinand's green eyes were stern and firm, "Although he doesn't meddle in other people's business, he won't let his life die."

"If you get out of the way, we won't hurt you," a hunter blinked his one eye, "If you insist on blocking here, neither you nor your woman will end well today!"

"I'll take this as a challenge to a duel." Ferdinand raised his hand and struck first.

Although the two hunters were strong, they couldn't hurt him for a long time, but as Ferdinand's physical strength gradually declined, they still found some gaps and stabbed each other's arms.

The stabbing in the right hand put Ferdinand at an absolute disadvantage. He used all his strength to stab the poker into the shoulder of a hunter, and then snatched the dagger.Just when another Orion was about to attack behind him, suddenly the girl rushed out of the house and hit the Orion on the back of the head with a wooden stick.

The man fell down, and Orion, who was stabbed in the shoulder, stepped back and said, "Don't think it's over! Do you think there are only two of us?!" He whistled strangely while running into the woods .

Ferdinand stood there panting as Daisy ran up to him and looked at him with terrified dark eyes: "Quick... run...they've got a lot of them! A lot of horses! They've got guns and they won't let us go !"

Ferdinand nodded, grabbed the girl's arm and ran towards the woods to the east.

Invisible coercion is the most deadly

"You are..." Daisy looked at the pale hand that was holding her, and there was a sticky feeling from the place where they held tightly, "You are bleeding!"

"I know...I know..." Ferdinand gasped, "It's just a little blood."

"Where are we fleeing to?!" the girl asked as she watched the man's dark blue velvet hem flutter as he ran.

"I don't know," Ferdinand gasped violently in his chest, "where is the road?"

"It's in front!" Daisy felt that he was like a god sent to her by heaven, so similar to and yet so different from the devil who brought her nightmares.

"Good news...!" Ferdinand's lungs began to ache.

One day later, they passed through some cypress bushes and saw the main road. However, the wet and rainy weather prevented everyone from going out. hope.

However, the sound of horseshoes interrupted his beautiful imagination, and he hurriedly dragged Daisy into the bushes. They tried their best to hide themselves, hoping to avoid being discovered by the mob.

The chasing horse seemed to be single-handed. Ferdinand recognized the sound of the horse's hooves, and it was a good horse, and the sound of its hooves was rhythmic.He felt that it was not something that group of vulgar hunters could have, so he raised his head and saw the gradual change in the mist.
