Chapter 26 Where did he die?
Ulu originally thought that he had forgotten some things long ago, or rather, he had tried hard to make himself forget some things, and he thought he had succeeded.
In that vague memory, he was still a child.
It was winter, and heavy snow covered everything in the town—the houses, the ground, and the starving people.
He walked out of the church, limping, his torn trousers stained with blood, and every step he took left a red spot on the snow. But he didn't feel any pain, because he was holding two pieces of black bread in his arms.
As long as she has this, my mother won’t go hungry, and she may have the strength to survive the winter even though she is seriously ill.
As long as he had this, he could stop thinking about what happened last night.
As long as you have this, as long as you bring this back, everything will be fine.
Then, he saw two men walking towards him, and one of them asked him, "What are you holding, kid?"
He subconsciously hugged the bread tightly, and then the man's fist came up to him... He couldn't remember what happened after that, his vision was blurry and his memory was also vague.
When everything became clear again, he was standing at the door of his house, covered in wounds, looking at his mother who had long since passed away.
After that, he set the whole house on fire, turned around and went back to the church, and returned to the kind Father Luigi.
In that memory, the fire that was burning in the pale world was also extinguished by the increasingly heavy snow. There was no trace of it left, so much so that Ulu thought he had forgotten it.
But now, the blood-soaked food in the hands of the landlord's servant suddenly brought him back to twenty years ago.
The fire that should have been extinguished,
Fucking lit up.
Before Ulu's consciousness could catch up, his body had already reacted. He pressed the servant's head against the wall with one hand and pinched his neck tightly with the other hand, as if he wanted to eat the servant alive.
The other two servants were also shocked by Wulu's sudden rampage, but they didn't dare to do anything to Wulu. After all, Wulu's priest's uniform represented one of the greatest forces in the world. So they didn't dare to do anything at all, and could only frantically dance around.
"God, Father, what are you doing?"
"Yes, if you have anything to say, just talk nicely!"
Wulu didn't waste any more words. He took the grain bag from the servant and smashed it hard on the servant's head: "I say! What did you do to that little brat?!"
Only then did the servants understand what Ulu was asking.
"Well, that brat stole our master's food, so we..."
"Bullshit!" Wulu glared at the servant who was talking, "I gave out this food! Are you saying that I stole it from you?!"
The two servants looked at each other, realizing that they had hit a wall, and immediately bowed and apologized.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Father, we didn't know it was you who gave us the food!"
"I really don't know. We really thought that kid was a thief! Please let Kend go. You're almost squeezing him to death!"
Are you about to be crushed to death by me?
Only then did Ulu come to his senses and found that the servant in front of him was already gasping for breath with his face flushed, as if he was about to suffocate to death in the next second.
He immediately let go of his hand, and then stared blankly at the grain bag in his hand.
Wait, what was I just...doing?
Ulu was a little stunned.
Am I, angry?
Are you angry about that little brat?
But this is... why?
Ulu couldn't understand.
While he was in a daze, the other two servants quickly pulled up the man named Kende. They wanted to run away, but they didn't dare to run immediately. Instead, they pulled Kende to apologize to Uru: "I'm really sorry, Father, we didn't know that the child... uh, had anything to do with you. We really thought he was a thief. So we gave him a little lesson, but don't worry, he's fine. We have sent him home."
At this moment, the three servants have already believed that the little boy is Uru's male lover (Rhine's habits are well known to everyone). They robbed the little boy's things and beat him up, so they were retaliated by Uru. Now, they can only pray for Uru's forgiveness.
But Ulu did not answer the three people. Instead, he lowered his head and stared at the bag of blood-soaked food in his hand. The sticky blood slowly slid through his fingers, as if pulling him back to the winter of twenty years ago.
"Well, Mr. Reverend..."
"Get lost." A hoarse voice came out of his throat, "Don't let me see you again, get out of here now!"
When the three servants heard Ulu tell them to get out, they felt relieved and ran away immediately, fearing that Ulu would go back on his word.
After they ran away, Ulu did not move. He just stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking. He just kept mumbling, "Why..."
Then he heard Bai Wei's cold voice: "I don't care why you do this, if you soak my body in blood again, I will kill you."
Ulu suddenly came to his senses and found that he had been holding the food with his left hand without realizing it, and now all five fingers were stained with blood.
"Sorry, Master Visas." Uru immediately switched the food to his right hand, and then wiped his hands with the white priest's uniform, mainly wiping his middle finger. After wiping his fingers thoroughly, and even the nails were free of dirt, he asked carefully, "Um, Master Visas, is this okay?"
"That's enough." Bai Wei said calmly, "Well done."
"Well, you're right. You mean..."
"That child." Bai Wei pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't you take the food back for him because I valued that child?"
Wulu was slightly stunned, then nodded repeatedly after realizing what was happening: "Ah, yes, yes, that's why. After all, he is the child you value, so I..."
"Okay, go and deliver the food to him." Bai Wei said, "You should know where the child lives, right?"
"I... know." Wu Lu's tense heart suddenly relaxed a lot, "I'll go now."
Yes, it’s because that child is valued by Lord Visas that I took action.
That's all.
…
Church, priest's quarters.
Kelsey and a group of knights stood in front of Luggie's house.
"Uru hasn't come back yet?" Kelsey asked his men.
"Yes," the man replied, "Father Uru has not returned."
Kelsey narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ulu did not return to the church after parting with him.
Where should he go at a time like this?
But that's not the point, the point is...
Kelsey turned his head and looked at Lu Ji's house. He issued an order: "Check it immediately and find out where Lu Ji died."
