Chapter 1863 giantslayer (7)
Florence was closed due to the Black Death. A group of young noble men and women left the city and went to a villa in the country.
These happy young people decided to choose a leader every day during the lockdown period. Regardless of men and women, everyone should respect and obey him. For him, he concentrated on planning how to make everyone happier. They found the branches and leaves of a laurel tree and weaved it into a beautiful and glorious crown. Whoever carries it can manage the rest.
On the first day they elected the person who made this opinion to be the queen, and on the second day it was another woman's turn. When the morning sun rose, the little birds sang beautiful songs on the green branches, and they came to the garden by appointment, sitting on the dew-dropped grass and wandering, just as happy as the previous day.
Then they sat on the cool lawn according to the Queen's order and continued to tell the story.
There is a judge in Pisa, Mr. Ricardo de Kinzica, who wants to find a young and beautiful woman to be his wife. If he used the rules of others to rule his own merits, he wouldn't do so. Coincidentally, a Mr. Lotto Gualandi betrothed a daughter to him. Her daughter was Bartolomea, who stood in the middle of the station in Pisa, and was one of the best beauties.
The judge greeted her home like a treasure and held a grand wedding. On the night of Heshan, the dry, thin and lacking confidence judge also tried to do his best to be humane. He tried it with her once, but the whole army was wiped out only once. The next morning, the judge had to drink some high-quality white wine, eat some sweets, and think of other ways to get over.
Now Mr. Judge has a better understanding of his abilities than before. He began to teach his young wife to read an almanac, which is more detailed than the literacy textbook for children in Ravenna, because it indicates which day each day is to commemorate. One or several saints' holiday.
The judge said that in order to show respect for those days, couples should not share the same room. In addition to some taboos on the emperor ordination day, the little emperor at the beginning of the season, the fasts commemorating the twelve apostles and the saints Chenggan, Friday, Saturday, Sunday worship, the entire Lent and the full moon, he also added some taboos. In addition, for many days, it seems that the matter of having a bed with a woman is like a civil lawsuit. This hurt his wife.
For a long time, he went to her at least once a month to respond, but he kept her tightly guarded all the time, lest he taught her to keep the precepts and others would teach her to break the precepts. Once, when the weather was very hot, Mr. Ricardo had a villa in Montenero and wanted to go there for a few days. He also took his beautiful wife and let her relax. He ordered two small boats to go fishing at sea. He himself and a few fishermen would take a boat, and his wife and other female relatives would take another boat.
They had a good time, and they were far away from the shore unknowingly. They watched the sea and suddenly came across the twin boats of the famous pirate Paganino de Mare. Paganino noticed that the boat fell over the bow and approached. The ship caught up. When Paganino saw the beautiful and too big, he took her to the big boat, ignored Mr. Ricardo who had fled to the shore, and took the captives away.
The Palace of Dharma was originally jealous, and the degree of distress can be imagined. He is everywhere in Pisa accusing the pirates of the atrocities of stealing his wife, but he does not know whereabouts.
Speaking of Paganino, he didn't have a wife yet. Seeing that the woman was handsome and decided to take her as his wife, he comforted her with sweet words and told her not to cry. At night, Paganino did not have the burden of an almanac. He did not fast or fast at all, thinking that empty words were useless, and began to use practical actions to comfort the young woman. Due to Gannino's clever means, she has not yet returned to Monaco. She has obediently left the Palace and his set of clear rules and precepts behind her, and happily lives with Paganino.
Paganino arrived in Monaco, in addition to comforting her day and night, he also treated her as a wife seriously. Soon after, Mr. Ricardo inquired about his wife's whereabouts and couldn't wait to find her. No matter how much money she spent, he had to redeem her, and he thought it would be most appropriate for him to handle this kind of thing himself.
He arrived in Monaco by boat and saw his wife as expected. The woman also saw him, and told Paganino of her intention that evening. The next morning, Mr. Ricardo found Paganino and went forward to talk with him, and the conversation was very speculative. Paganino knows what the other party is coming from, so I won't break it for the time being, let's see how he moves. When Mr. Ricardo arrived at the time he thought was appropriate, he confidently stated his purpose for coming here, and asked Paganino to return the woman to him, no matter how many threads he needed.
Paganino said happily, "You are welcome, sir, I can directly understand what the local answer is: I do have a young woman in my family, but I don't know if it's yours or someone else's wife, because I used to I don't know you or her. I just spent some time with her. I think you are a decent person. If you are indeed her husband as you say, I might as well take you to see her. Of course she I should know you. If what she said is not out of your way and is willing to go with you, I will fulfill you, whatever the ransom you pay. If this is not the case, then you will take the woman from me It is too unjust, because I am young and strong, and I can satisfy a woman, especially the cutest woman like her I have never seen in my life."
Mr. Ricardo said:
"Of course she is my wife. As long as you take me to see her, you will understand immediately, because she will definitely jump over and hold my neck. I hope to take a snapshot of what you said."
"Well, let's go now." Paganino said.
The two went to Paganino's house and entered the living room. Paganino asked the young woman to come out. She came from the back room to the room where Ricardo and Paganino were. She was dressed gorgeously and glamorously. Like any stranger Paganino had brought, she only said a few polite words to Ricardo. The judge had hoped that the woman would be overjoyed when he saw him, but now seeing her so cold, he couldn't help wondering, thinking:
"I must be too sorrowful and worried, and my appearance has changed so much that she can't recognize it." He opened his mouth to the woman
"Ma'am, it was too expensive for me to take you fishing that time. After I lost you, I was devastated and painful, especially when you are so cold now, as if you didn't know me. Didn't you see that I was your Ricardo? , I made a special trip to this gentleman's house to redeem you. I am willing to pay any ransom. This gentleman is very righteous and agrees to pay as much as I want."
The woman looked at him and smiled faintly and said: "Are you talking to me, sir? You're not the one who admitted wrong, right? I don't remember when I saw you."
Mr. Ricardo panicked: "What did you say, look at me carefully, and you will remember that I am your husband Ricardo de Ginzika."
The woman said: "I'm sorry, sir. It may not be appropriate for me to keep staring at you, but I have seen it clearly. I don't remember when I saw you before."
Mr. Ricardo thought she was scrupulous about Paganino and did not dare to admit to knowing herself in front of him, so he asked Paganino to allow her to talk to herself alone. Paganino replied happily, saying that as long as Ricardo does not try to forcibly kiss her against her will, he can agree. After speaking, he let the woman and Mr. Ricardo enter another room, listen to what he has to say, and then answer according to his own ideas. The wife and Mr. Ricardo went into a bedroom. After sitting down, Ricardo said, "My heart, my soul and hope, your Ricardo loves you more than he loves himself. ! How can this happen? Have I become so powerful that you can't recognize it? Alas, the treasure in my eyes, take a look at me again!"
She laughed, not letting him finish, and said: "Please don't worry, you can always believe that I will not be so forgetful, even you, the judge, Richard Di Cinzika, my husband, can't remember. . But when I am with you, you don't seem to know me. If you are as eager and sensible as you say, then you should see that I am like a fresh flower , Is an energetic young woman, in addition to eating and wearing, there are other more urgent needs-although the girls are embarrassed to say what is on their minds because they are shy. But please think about it. How much effort did it take?
"If you feel that studying the law is better for you than understanding women's psychology, you shouldn't marry a wife. But in my opinion. You are actually not a judge. You are just a saint's holiday, fast day, and all night. The preacher on the street on the day of prayer, thank you for being so good at this set. Tell you, if you let the farmers who plant your fields, just like you cultivated my poor little field, Keeping these many holidays, then you don't expect a grain of corn to be harvested. Finally, God pityed my youth and told me to meet that man who slept with me in this room. This is never before. I don't know what a holiday is. From that door, I've never broken in so many Saturdays, Fridays, all night prayer days, and fast days in the four seasons. We just work day and night. Son, our blanket broke very quickly. Just early this morning, after the night prayer bell rang, I went to work with him. So I liked him very much, and planned to live with him, taking advantage of my youth and working hard. Fuck him for a while; those saints' festivals, forgiveness, and fasts, wait until I am old to observe them. So you don't have to delay too much time, hurry back and do your seriousness. I hope you are as you please and keep as you like. There are as many festivals as there are festivals, just save me."
Rika felt very uncomfortable when she said that; when she finished speaking, she said, "Oh, my lovely soul, what are you talking about? Don't you think about your family's reputation and your Has your own reputation gone? Don't you be afraid of your sins and would rather stay here to be this man's concubine instead of being my wife in Pisa? Once he gets tired of you, he will drive you out of the house. , Teach you that you can never raise your head to be a man; if you are here with me, you will always be my treasure, even if I don't want to, you will always be my head of the family. Can you be even famous because of this shameless sensuality No more, just abandon me? I love you more than my own life! Ah, the hope in my heart, look at God, don't say that, you come back with me. Now I understand you I'm in pain, and I'll do my best to make up for it in the future. Then, my lovely baby, you have changed your mind and follow me home. Since I lost you, I've never stretched my eyebrows one day! "
She replied: "My reputation, except for myself, I don't want anyone to cherish it. Besides, it's too late to cherish it now. Think about my reputation, that would be great! Since they didn't plan for me in the first place, why should I think about their reputation now? If I commit an'indeemable' sin here, then I and It's not much better to stay together with a useless “peg”. Please don't regret my reputation. I also want to tell you that I think I am Paganino's wife here; in Pisa, it's just Just be your concubine. I still remember that I had to keep the moon and the moon waning, and the various astrological signs in the celestial palace, in order to connect your constellations with my constellations, but I don't care about them here, Pagani The slave held me in his arms all night, bit me and rubbed me. If you ask him how to send me, then let God answer you. You said that you will try your best to repay me in the future. How can I repay me? Let's go, Do your best to be like a person. See how you describe being haggard, anxious and depraved, as if living in the world but suffering. Let me tell you again, even if that person loses me (I don't think he won't, as long as I'm willing to live with him), and I won't come back to you, because you can't squeeze a drop of'nectar' no matter how much you squeeze it. I used to accompany you to suffer, but now I shouldn't be born again. Road? The words are over. There is neither a festival of saints nor a prayer throughout the night, so I am happy to live here. Now, look at God's face and decide. If you are not sure, then I will yell out. Woke up."
Rika saw that the situation was not good, so she had to endure her grief and walked out of the room. He can understand now. What a stupid thing to marry a young girl to be his wife when he is old. He went to negotiate with Paganino for a while, but it was all useless, and finally he had to go back to Pisa with his hands free.
He was irritated by this, and his nerves gradually became confused, and finally walked on the street. Even people greeted him and asked him, but he could not answer, except for muttering to himself: "The robber's den is not defending. What a Sabbath!" Soon he died. Paganino heard the news and knew that the young woman loved him deeply, so he officially married her. Until they were able to act, they only knew how to work, and never cared about saints' festivals, prayers throughout the night, or Lent, etc. Dear ladies, so when Benab was arguing with Ambrogio, it seemed to me that he had put the cart in front of the horse-completely wrong.
The “passer-by” told this story while walking with Haji in the Boulogne Forest. After he finished speaking, he laughed first.
"Do you think this story is interesting?" A passerby asked Haji.
Haji was thoughtful at first, but then he also smiled, “Women can't be sent away by fooling.”
"I want to ask you, do you think that pirate and young woman will live long?" the passerby asked again.
Haji did not answer.
"Pisa has a strong navy, and they can go to Morocco to eliminate pirates. If Paganino dies in the battle, the woman is afraid that she will really suffer the crime." A passerby said.
"Where are we going?" Haji asked.
"Ahead." A passerby pointed to the front and said, "It's coming soon."
Haji was skeptical, because passersby had said this more than once.
But this time passers-by didn't seem to lie to him, because Haji heard the ringing bell.
"Where is this place?" Haji asked.
"The Shakespeare Theater, it is only open for four months a year." A passerby said, "There will be people ringing a bell 20 minutes before the show opens to inform everyone to enter the park."
"I'm not here to watch the show." Haji said.
"I know." The passerby said with a mysterious smile, "It's not time to open."
Haji is a little confused.
"Let's take a look. Didn't you mean to look for a 'sign'?" a passerby persuaded.
Haji looked at the open iron gate between the stone walls covered with vines. It looked like a trap in every way.
"Shall we go and see together?" Haji smiled and said to passers-by.
The passers-by didn't care, and walked into the theater with Haji in a polite manner.
This amphitheater is not big. The entrance is a naturally sloping lawn surrounded by a fence. There are many big trees around. There is a higher earth platform directly opposite the entrance. There is no curtain and light background, but it is open. Many huge flowers look very elegant and simple, with a small cave-like entrance above them.
"I think it is suitable for performing Midsummer Night's Dream." A passerby looked at the stage and said, "What do you think?"
Haji is fully prepared to look at the small cave on the stage.
"Destiny cannot be changed." A passerby whispered, "But the opportunity is here, we still want to try it."
Haji and passersby looked at each other, and he pulled out the dagger.
At the same time, four men filed in from the entrance behind him, guarding his retreat.
They wore gorgeous costume-like embroidered gold coats, leggings and boots, with swords on their waists, looking like 18th-century nobles.
"You said you are from Transylvania, have you ever heard of a vampire?" a passerby said.
Haji ignored him, the four men as pale as vampires slowly pulled out the swords from their waists, and the sound of metal rubbing echoed in the quiet theater.
"Science is not evil. On the contrary, it is the only means we have to eliminate evil." A passerby said, "When social instincts continue to decline and old beliefs continue to shatter, wisdom is our only guide. Please don't treat us as enemies. "
"Are you going to kill me?" Haji asked.
"Don't worry, you will become like them." Passersby smiled and said, "They are also our opponents together."
The person behind Haji raised the sword in his hand and made a piercing sound, attacking Haji's waist.
Haji lowered the center of gravity, and he fended off the sword amidst the sound of gold and iron clashes, and at the same time dodged to the left, and the people in that position shot at the same time.
He moved forward, shifted his weight to the forward leg, close to the opponent's waist, then reversed his wrist and picked up the dagger. The man was quite experienced, avoiding the stab that was enough to open the mouth, and at the same time passed on the left. With the sound of breaking through the air, Haji directly knelt on one knee, rolled on the spot, and jumped out of the encirclement.
"I heard that if I become a vampire, I can't work." Haji said gruffly, "I don't want to use a pestle."
The passers-by showed a wry smile, and the four men with stabbing swords in their hands suddenly became furious and attacked him.
Haji ran away.
The group was divided into two groups to chase, and it seemed that they were planning to surround him. Haji kept breaking through to avoid being besieged, trying to keep one-on-one. One of them didn't seem to put him in his eyes, showing off with the tip of his sword. The style crossed, and he attacked Haji's throat.
At this time, Haji pulled out the spare dagger, held the tip of the knife and threw it out like a flying knife, hitting the opponent's throat.
Black blood flowed out, looking like oil.
The undead vampire touched the dagger around his neck in shock, and then fell to the ground.
"You are not vampires." Haji looked at the remaining three people and said, "I don't know what you are, but I don't want to be a monster like you."
"It's up to you," one of them said, and the three of them surrounded Haji again.
