「学士,很抱歉,我搜遍了那间屋子,只在床缝里捡到了这条胳膊,剩下的血和肉糜已经整理不出来了……」基尔巴特道。590Please respect copyright.PENANAaSVrJWryKL
590Please respect copyright.PENANAxUP4aChnwL
「啊!这是丽丝的手」克莱兹摩挲着断肢手指上的戒指说道:「这是我打的,这是她的男人捡到的金子,有栗子般那麽大」他举起戒指给基尔巴特看:「是格尔叫我打造成金戒指送给她,瞧,这上面还有我费尽心思刻下的守护铭文,这真是顶好的金货」590Please respect copyright.PENANAJyz9F46RZp
590Please respect copyright.PENANARaxnhC6vGy
「但我看到了,不久後她就和浪荡子阿曼搞上了。格尔是个好小伙,种地打鱼都是好手,但他真没用,管不住自己的女人,我也是个废物,如果这东西有用,丽丝就不会只剩一条胳膊了……」 克莱兹基放下手,怔怔地躺在板车上,时值傍晚,条条碎云在天边游弋,林中的冷风吹乱了他的须发。590Please respect copyright.PENANAI1wxG1VcpS

「很抱歉。」590Please respect copyright.PENANAQc0mLCfAMA

「不用道歉,我们这儿的规矩就是『为自己而活』。交易站的住客已经死了不知多少批,你不过恰好赶上了罢了。哈!我们果真就和蘑菇似的。来,也放进船上吧。哦,这个戒指你就拿着,权当是搬死人的报酬吧。」克莱兹基咯咯笑了起来。590Please respect copyright.PENANAYwVCEnuXnt
590Please respect copyright.PENANAiKbfrbQbuT
「这不好笑,学士。」基尔巴特皱眉。590Please respect copyright.PENANAZMc0da7raQ

只见基尔巴特将手臂拿到一破舢板上,和其他残骸与遗物摆一起,霍顿的骨架、阿曼的脚、……遗骸下面堆着浇了油的木柴。她将船推进湖中,点燃了木柴。590Please respect copyright.PENANAjBJGMzTHZi
590Please respect copyright.PENANAvp9Dt6TPD3
木柴劈啪作响,十余具遗骸,老人、大人、小孩,还有一只猫与几条狗,就这样在冰冷的绀青的湖水中明亮起来,亡者们好似又活了,在火光中舒展着, 歌唱着,踏着升腾而起的黑烟,手挽手远去了。590Please respect copyright.PENANAxvp8izKNog

基尔巴特谢过赫西,推着板车跟在她後面,板车的轮子做工很粗劣,在林道中吱呀吱呀作响,颠得克莱兹基没心思乱说话了。590Please respect copyright.PENANANKuTUrXPCC

布哈林教徒和培根在河岸旁的树丛边赤条条地站着,冰冷的河水从他们身侧奔涌而过。培根蹲下身割开绳子,把布包打开,摸着衣服。「要是这会儿遇着蛮子可坏事了。」590Please respect copyright.PENANAbOrN1uBgyb
590Please respect copyright.PENANA58td0fMPyt
「他们不会发现的,这里离过马的地方远得很。」教徒套上衣衫,弓下身四处张望。590Please respect copyright.PENANANxptUnwRiU

「我说,你们布哈林人是不是蹲不下来?」培根盯着夥伴看了半晌,突然开口问道。590Please respect copyright.PENANAOsCf3s2voQ

「什麽?你怎麽知道?」590Please respect copyright.PENANAfpL0FzXRBq

「这有啥奇怪的,有些传闻说你们不会蹲着拉屎,内急的时候随地挖一个坑躺在上面就拉,」培根一边用手比划,一边从头到脚打量着身旁的夥计。「难道传闻是真的?」590Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ4GP5jpNA
590Please respect copyright.PENANAGpHni3DBhl
「没这回事!」教徒涨红了脸,张嘴想辩解,忽然猛低下头,脚尖点地半蹲在树丛後。590Please respect copyright.PENANACKwymrICuC

590Please respect copyright.PENANAquKe46LX5a
「几个人,什麽方向?」590Please respect copyright.PENANAQMCsZkdcAU
590Please respect copyright.PENANAmfV0vRMZG1
「东边木桥那,有半打多,骑着马,看起来不像蛮子,但也不是咱们的人。」培根目光所及之处,教徒指了指河岸边。590Please respect copyright.PENANAQRzWu8Bjhd
590Please respect copyright.PENANAEFP1jGLWSB
「来抢生意的。」培根安下心来,他摸了摸胡子,语气颇为不屑。「还好咱们有内应。说起来,他们真当这是猎奴?祭祀场里面可有几百号蛮子!」590Please respect copyright.PENANAGNuFTM4GzH
590Please respect copyright.PENANAfgFOl8HMZ4

当夕阳洒在一群在树枝间上蹿下跳伸长脖子乱嘶的羽跃蜥身上时,这两人已经提着弓和短矛往西面走了老久,远远望去只剩了两个小小的黑点,似乎和地平线融为一体了。590Please respect copyright.PENANAJfl5aTX4Vc

基尔巴特循着赫西的指引,顺着野人小径走,等看见挂着一串风乾人耳的枯树就停下,跟着一丛丛乱生着的荧光菌子往西,当看到用栅栏围起来的生着香花与野藤的的园子时,即便没人说,她也知道了,这是女巫的花圃。590Please respect copyright.PENANAQseskhjxKw
590Please respect copyright.PENANAo5bRAeWWJ5
推开园门,越橘和木樨环着石池中的水仙,转过假山,茑萝和月季将精巧的门扉轻掩。漂亮而精致的,有着尖尖屋顶的木制小屋这才跃入眼帘。590Please respect copyright.PENANAIS0oHAt1oP
590Please respect copyright.PENANAJEqzXkEnCK
然而,赫西并不是荒野传说中的女巫,她更愿意称自己为隐居的术士,这块隐秘的静处也并非她开拓,而是某个已故菌人曾经的住所。590Please respect copyright.PENANARfQ4tSExz0
590Please respect copyright.PENANACKW4AOrWj7
等赫西从马房出来,便和基尔巴特一起将克莱兹基抬进屋子里。此时的学士已经开始发烧说胡话,赫西给他清理了患处,又喂了一些汤药,等他昏睡过去後对基尔巴特道:「他的情况很糟糕,我想,恐怕不能挨过今晚了。」590Please respect copyright.PENANAkwbdoYme8d
590Please respect copyright.PENANA2IF5gHzTOQ
「怎麽会?他来的路上还精神着呢。」590Please respect copyright.PENANAkJG1pVZjnE

「这样吗?」590Please respect copyright.PENANAiOIYLagD1T
590Please respect copyright.PENANAc8DjwqOaM9
「我再想想办法,你守着他。克莱兹基,是我这个时代为数不多的朋友了。」赫西叹了口气,留下神情复杂的基尔巴特,匆匆地出了门。590Please respect copyright.PENANAJxI1Gups1t
590Please respect copyright.PENANARpqF6SZEOh
炭炉的火光、刺鼻的草药和哗哗的水声搅入了学士的梦境,使他时而哀嚎,时而痴笑,时而吐出几句胡话。他感觉自己在一片恍惚中被风托起,荡入云霄之上,下一刻则被毫不留情地扔进无底深渊,坠落,坠落……590Please respect copyright.PENANAkbfT0JdTmd
590Please respect copyright.PENANAKjQXm97vet
「啊!」590Please respect copyright.PENANAihRBGLUySg

「茶……我要茶……」他用沙哑的声音说道。590Please respect copyright.PENANA584ROsJ01m

「没有茶,只有清水,还有用利口酒调的药,」590Please respect copyright.PENANAz8fjjEcJGw
590Please respect copyright.PENANAj7d91AvIEC
克莱兹基费力睁开了眼睛,模糊的光影再次清晰,木制的天花板,水桶,棉布,用小刀沙沙地削着苹果的基尔巴特。590Please respect copyright.PENANA8LaOJX2Yby
590Please respect copyright.PENANAM8F1Ntuoth
学士平静下来,这可能是第一次这样认真地看着基尔巴特,她的头样很美,乌黑的短发湿漉漉的,服帖地顺在一边,低垂的眼帘下是鹿儿一样灵气的湖蓝色眸子,细巧而挺直的鼻子透出股英气,端正的小嘴宛若名家的得意之作。但基尔巴特出乎他意料的貌美之外更多的是男子般的英气,这让基尔巴特散发着惊人的魅力。590Please respect copyright.PENANAoRxRoK8CKs
590Please respect copyright.PENANAj7myZRUiI1
「女巫呢?」学士晃了晃脑袋,疑惑自己为什麽盯着一个小鬼看上这麽久。590Please respect copyright.PENANAdpJ4TIX5Kp
590Please respect copyright.PENANA65BnQo99cI
「赫西小姐去给你找药了。」基尔巴特偏过头,把苹果放在一旁。590Please respect copyright.PENANA0u40a3Cu7X

「而且,她不是女巫。」590Please respect copyright.PENANA1m0AVzwKLG

「不,不是这些,这些对你毫无难度。我的问题是,异鬼。」590Please respect copyright.PENANAjmwwvXWkFO

「我知道你想问什麽了,是的,沼泽里的异鬼是我放出的。哈哈,我听得见,他们正饿的嗷嗷直叫。霍顿也是我出卖的,他最喜欢去挖沼矿了。除了你和赫西,丽丝,格尔,尤金…………镇子上的人都中了我的算计,啊,多麽美妙的实验,多米诺骨牌般有条理的哀嚎,尊贵的幼体钻进人体内吮吸骨髓的声音如同仙音!现在更多异鬼还在谷地中游荡,吞噬眼前一切活物。小鬼,我即使闭着眼睛也知道你在气得发抖,之前的推理终於严丝合缝,恶人被推了出来,正等待着正义的判决。这一切都是那样的符合经典,所以现在,你决定用那把削掉异鬼脑袋的小刀结束我罪恶的生命了吗?」他用尽了所有力气将话说完。590Please respect copyright.PENANAhoUgZxtzrn
590Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Sfuj2vl3
「便是如此!」基尔巴特声音颤抖。「临死之前,你应该忏悔你的过错,忏悔你的过错……」她拿着刀的手不住发抖。590Please respect copyright.PENANAPHOZTUPFFU
