Chapter 903: The Past Reappears(2/2)
I don’t know how long it took, but everyone ended their denunciation of the monsters, with happy faces and high spirits. Some went home to spend time with their families, while others went to the pub to start a day of fun.
Everyone has a good life.
Only the mother of the child stood beside the gallows with a hangtag, no hair, and a smile on her face. The bones and flesh she had raised for more than ten years were swaying in the wind, and she would never wake up again.
When the judge left the execution platform, he happened to meet his companion, and the two greeted him cordially.
"Hey, how's it going?"
"Very busy. Yesterday, the Death Bird caught a dozen people who blasphemed our Lord and executed them all in one go."
"Every day there are people who want to die. I can't stop them. I just got one here."
"We have to work harder. Other cities can handle nearly a hundred of them every day. The efficiency of Wangcheng is too low. It ranks at the bottom every year."
"If I had known I was so tired, I would have resigned and returned to my hometown. Being a civilian these days is much more comfortable than being an official. I don't have to work and I can eat and drink without worries. Sometimes I think about it, it's really unfair."
"Be careful what you say. There are death birds everywhere listening. I don't want to send you to the gallows myself."
"Haha, complaining, just complaining, I still want to follow my lord for another fifty years~"
The two judges left talking and laughing, and Solandel stood there alone, her eyes reflecting the mother and daughter separated by life and death. At her feet was the kingdom where she had ruled for ten years. It was clearly a bright morning, but
It was as if everything was swallowed up by darkness.
Solandel walked up to the woman and didn't raise her eyes to look at her. She didn't know whether she was unwilling or didn't dare. Only her sad voice was trembling: "Everyone has the right to cry. If you want to cry, just cry.
"
The woman held the tag hanging in front of her neck with both hands, and kept laughing. When she heard Solandel's words, she laughed even more enthusiastically, the muscles on her face tightened, and the curve of her mouth when she laughed almost tore her lips.
On the face, the eyes were squeezed into two slits.
In this great Doguland, no one dares to cry, and no one dares not to laugh.
The woman smiled, her whole face twisted in a smile, even her gums were exposed, she was happier than a circus clown, but it was impossible for humans to control their physiological reflexes, just like she couldn't control her tears.
Clear liquid flowed out from the slitted eyes, and her chin kept shaking. She smiled and said, "Glorious return to my Lord."
Solandel continued to walk in the royal city. Everywhere was prosperous and people were drinking and singing, but there was a huge sense of depression coming from nowhere that made people breathless.
Finally, she couldn't walk anymore and sat alone in the corner of the alley. The weather had turned from sunny to overcast not long ago, and now it started to rain. The street scene became depressed and blurred, and she couldn't see the distance.
The heavy rain pounded the road and hit the pedestrians who were running wildly with their heads covered. They passed by the Queen in the rain, silent and anxious.
Rain fell from the dark sky, and the chill enveloped the cold city. Solandel let herself get wet by the rain. She tightly grasped the rag strips on her wrists, and she didn't know that the water flowing on her face was rain.
Or something else.
"'He' is back again."
