Chapter 34 confirmed
After a few seconds, Lumian looked into Aurore's eyes and slowed down his speech:
"How many days are left until Lent?"
He suspected that his sister was playing a reverse prank just now, but for so many years, he had never seen his sister show a frivolous attitude on important matters, and it was a critical juncture involving the existence and demise of the entire village, including his own siblings.
Aurore looked his brother up and down a few times:
"You just took a nap and slept stupidly?
"Today is March 29, 1358, and there are still several days until Lent."
March 29...... Lumian chewed on the date, and suddenly I felt like I was dreaming now.
He had clearly experienced the joyful beginning and end of the bloody celebration of Lent, and he clearly saw Ava's head being killed by the shepherd Pierre. Berry slashed it down with an axe, and blood sprayed into the air......
Are you dreaming now or before...... No matter which one is a dream, it is too real, right? Lumian couldn't find any trace of lying on his sister's face.
Of course, this can also be explained by Aurore's acting skills, but Lumian believes that Aurore is definitely not such a person.
In the past five years of getting along, there are countless details, and it is impossible for my sister to lie to him at all!
There are only two possibilities for Aurore to deceive him about the date:
First, she was controlled by the priest of the parish or someone in secret;
second, the matter has been perfectly resolved, so she is in the mood to joke and play pranks.
If neither of these possibilities is true, then there is a very high probability that what she said is the truth:
The time really goes back to March 29, a few days before Lent.
With Lumian's common sense, this was obviously impossible and should not appear in the real world, but his sister's attitude left him at a loss.
I have to find a way to confirm...... For example, on March 29, when the Lenten celebration was "successful", Aurore was indeed wearing this light blue dress, and on this night, he also met three strangers, Leah, Ryan, and Valentine, and took them to the church to catch the priest's adultery.
"What's wrong?" Aurore stretched out her right hand and shook it in front of her brother, who was inexplicably stunned.
Lumian came back to his senses and hurriedly said:
"Aurore, I suddenly thought of something that needs to be done.
"Come back soon!"
The best way to confirm whether the time really goes back to March 29 is to find Ava!
If she were still alive, Lumian would have to seriously consider whether to accept this incredible change.
Without waiting for Aurore to agree, Lumian bypassed her and hurried to the door.
"Call sister! Don't miss dinner!" Aurore turned up the volume and advised.
Leaving his house, Lumian ran towards Ava. Liziye's home was afraid that if it was a second slower, it would be overtaken by an indescribable nightmare and completely devoured.
Along the way, he attracted the sideways glances of many villagers, but no one stopped him and asked why, fearing that this was a prank he directed and acted on and waiting for them to be deceived.
Finally, Lumian arrived at his destination.
Ava's father, Guillaume. Lizier is a well-known shoemaker in the village of Cordu and this mountainous area, and his family is not good but not bad, and the house they live in is also a semi-ground-type gray-blue two-story building, with a vacant lot at the back with grass and firewood and a goose coop.
At this time, near dinner time, several figures were busy in the kitchen of the Liziye family.
Lumian walked in directly through the open door and saw Ava at a glance.
This brown-haired girl with light blue eyes was wearing a long off-white dress and was preparing dinner for her mother.
She really isn't dead...... Lumian subconsciously looked at Ava's neck, trying to find the stitch marks.
In one of Auror's horror novels, there is a scene where corpses are stitched together to impersonate a living person.
However, Ava's neck was slender and smooth, and there was not even a single scar.
"Lumian, is there something wrong?" Guillaume the shoemaker sitting in the kitchen chair. Lizier discovered the uninvited guest.
His brown hair was disheveled, and a slightly greasy brownish-white apron hung in front of him, and he stood up quickly and slowly to meet Lumian.
Hearing her father's greeting, Ava stopped what she was doing, turned around in surprise, and looked at the door.
She immediately saw Lumian standing there in a daze and dazed.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked.
Lumian suddenly came back to his senses, planning to make up a reason to be perfunctory.
But the shoemaker Guillaume who came over. Lizier gave him an instant inspiration.
He considered it and said:
"Uncle Guillaume, did Pierre of the Berry family order a pair of leather shoes from you?"
Lumian remembers very well that he and Raymond "will" meet the shepherd Pierre Pierre tomorrow morning. Berry, surprised that he had come back to the Lenten celebration despite the dangers and hardships of the long journey.
At that time, Pierre. Berry has put on a brand new, soft leather shoe.
Unless you go to a finished shoe store in d'Ariège, it takes time to make a pair of leather shoes, which shows that Pierre. Berry has been back in the village for at least two or three days!
"How do you know?" Guillaume. Lizier was quite surprised, "Pierre. Berry came back a few days ago, but no one in the village knew about it, and he asked me not to tell anyone else."
Sure enough...... Lumian made up the reason:
"I saw a person who looked a lot like him and thought I was hallucinating.
"Because that person is wearing new leather shoes, I'll check with you."
"It's him." Guillaume. Lizier replied in the affirmative, "At that time, he was still driving three or four sheep, saying that the employer gave it to him."
Isn't it the beginning of May that the sheep will return to the village to be sheared and milked? How to release a few sheep when they come back now? The plateau grassland is still in the grazing ban period...... The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that the shepherd Pierre. Berry's behavior was extremely abnormal.
And his performance at the end of the celebration proved Lumian's judgment.
But Lumian still had no way of knowing what he and the parishioners wanted to do, or what they had already done.
Thinking of this, Lumian was very interested in Guillaume. Liziye and Ava laughed:
"I was relieved if it was really him, I thought I drank so much that I had problems with my brain and eyes at the same time."
He immediately waved to the Liziye family and said:
"Goodbye."
After leaving Liziye's house, the smile on Lumian's face quickly settled.
He is now very sure that today is really March 29th.
Did I go back in time, or did I have a prophetic dream? Dreams can't be so real, so real that every detail is ...... Lumian thought hard as he walked.
Whether it was going back in time or predicting dreams, he learned from Aurore's novels, and he never thought it would happen in reality before.
On the way home, Lumian detoured to the square and came to the side of the "Eternal Sun" church.
The stained-glass window, which should have been completely shattered and even the window frame flew out, was intactly embedded in the wall, and the picture of the mission of the Holy Sith depicted on the surface shone brightly in the light of the setting sun.
Lumian looked at this scene with an extremely complicated mood, feeling that all kinds of thoughts in his mind were rubbing against each other, and white smoke was about to come out.
On the way back to the square, he saw a familiar figure coming out of the main entrance of the church.
It was Guillaume, the priest of the parish with a slightly hooked nose and a majestic temperament, wearing a white robe inlaid with gold thread. Bene.
Lumi tightened her heart, her legs were slightly apart, and her body arched slightly.
This is not only a preparation for an attack, but also a prelude to running away.
Guillaume. Bene glanced at him and nodded expressionlessly:
"Pray again tomorrow."
Belch...... Yes, on the evening of March 29th, he hadn't been caught by me yet, he hadn't torn his face with me, and he didn't have any worries about his secret plot about being exposed...... Thinking of this, Lumian instinctively reacted.
He stood up straight, opened his arms and said:
"Praise the sun!"
"Praise the sun!" Guillaume. Bene returned in the same posture.
After leaving the village square, Lumian habitually recalled what happened just now.
Suddenly, he discovered a point he had previously overlooked because he was shocked by "going back in time".
His extraordinary abilities are still there!
He is still a "hunter"!
Whether it is the fact that he ran to Liziye's house without much breathing, or his reaction to the best posture when facing the priest of the parish, it all shows that his physical fitness and corresponding state are far beyond before taking the magic potion!
Lumian made a judgment from this:
The previous experience was not a precognitive dream!
He is already an extraordinary in Sequence 9!
Try to enter that special dream at night to see if it can still enter and if it has changed...... Lumian quickly had a plan for the next step.
Back home, he pretended to be indifferent and shared dinner with his sister Aurora.
Because his younger brother often gets into trouble and doesn't want to let himself help with the aftermath every time, he behaves similarly from time to time, so Aurore saw it in his eyes and didn't ask too much.
After washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, Lumian and his sister said hello and went straight to the old tavern.
He wanted to confirm whether the foreigners who did not belong to Kordu Village would appear.
Entering the old tavern, Lumian sat at the bar and talked to the owner and bartender Maurice. Bennet, a thin middle-aged man Pierre. Guillaume and the others greeted each other.
"A glass of sour wine." He said familiarly.
Sour wine refers to poor apple wine, which is only more expensive than some beers in taverns, and is often sold on the streets of the city.
"Stingy boy, don't you like the painful feeling of absinthe?" Morris. Bennett murmured.
"Would you like me to drink?" Lumian spoke familiar words.
This gave him a sense of trance.
Morris. Bene immediately stopped speaking, poured a glass of sour wine, and pushed it to Lumian.
Lumian took a sip of his wine while waiting.
Not long after, he heard a jingling sound.
He turned around and saw Ryan wearing a rudimentary dark bowler hat, a brown duffle top and light yellow trousers.
And it was Leah who attracted the attention of almost all the men in the old tavern, she still wore a white pleated cashmere tight skirt with an off-white coat and Marcel boots, and two small silver bells were tied to the boots and the veil that served as a headscarf.
Similarly, Valentine wore a white vest, blue tweed jacket and black trousers, and his yellow hair was powdered.
The three of them walked to the bar under the gaze of each other and sat down next to Lumian in turn.
A glass of d'Ariège red wine, a glass of rye beer, a glass of "spicy heart"...... Lumian didn't look up, and said silently in his heart.
Ryan took off his top hat, put it aside, and then said to Maurice. Bennett:
"A glass of d'Arliège red wine, a glass of rye beer, and a glass of 'spicy heart'."
Hearing this, Lumian sighed long.
"What's wrong?" Ryan looked sideways at him.
He took a sip of sour wine and said in a low voice:
"I'm a loser, I hardly pay much attention to whether the sun is shining or not because I don't have time to ......"
