Victor is a stout man in his early forties, with dark skin and looks like he works in the scorching sun for a long time.
“Blessing of nature!” he said, “I went fishing two days ago, just like usual. You all know that the magicians’ minions let me do this every day, and I am the best fisherman they can find. That day, good luck. God gave me two nets of good fish, and I was very happy. The biggest of those fish is as long as my arms. You all know how happy the fisherman will be when he sees the big fish, and it is the same as the farmer cuts the wheat. I was so happy that day that day, I was just trying to clean up the big fish, and the remaining little fish were thrown on the deck. When I remembered to put the little fish back into the water, they were already burned by the sun. Oh, the sun was too strong that day. These fish should have returned to the water and grown into big fish, but now there is no chance. It is because I was too careless.”
Victor looked regretful and his nagging look made people feel like he had lost a lot of money.
“Is there any?” Kara asked with a serious expression.
“No, no more.” Victor seemed a little nervous.
“The God of Nature knows everything. Think carefully about what you have done this week, especially after drinking.” Kara emphasized in his eyes.
“I, I…” Victor lowered his head and said in grief: “I finished drinking at the dock and fought with people on the way back to the camp. We flipped down the ridges and beat the wheat fields for a while, crushing some crops. But I swear, they were the ones who made the move first, and the idiot punched me in the face, that’s where.” He pointed to his black face, but no one could see any trace.
“Duke, judge his crime.”
“Duke! I swear, I only crushed two wheat with so many bodies!” Victor added anxiously.
“Shut up! Do you think you can bargain in the fish market?” Kara shouted loudly.
“Little fish, ten records. Wheat fields, ten records. Thirty records concealed. A total of forty records.” Duke said.
“Do you think it’s fair?” Kara asked. “Fair.” Everyone said.
Victor cried and lifted up his clothes, and Kara whipped hard with the branches in his hand.
Ji Yijun sneered, and Katerina glanced at him strangely.
“A group of idiots who can’t even calculate the mathematics of kindergartens, and a group of idiots who speak in a mess are actually ruling the crime seriously.” Ji Yijun said disdainfully.
Katerina counted with her fingers, and her face turned red. She whispered, “I can count, Sister Karanda taught me.”
“Where is multiplication and division? Where is the system of equations? Where is the analytical geometry?” Ji Yijun said a few words, which made Katerina confused.
Her face became redder, but this time she was angry, and she argued: “Of course you top people have time to learn these inexplicable things. We have to spend most of our time trying to earn a few coins and not let ourselves starve to death!”
“Just learn if you don’t know. Now you don’t have to sleep in the open and go to the newly opened night school to attend classes in the evening. Otherwise, you have to count and beat your fingers. How can you take care of your husband’s money when you get married in the future?” Ji Yijun said.
Katerina didn’t know what she thought of, she was stunned for a while, and stopped.
Ji Yijun pointed to the believers in the distance and said, “These people are the same. If you have the time to do this, it’s better to let yourself learn to be smart first! If this group of people are planning badly behind their backs, I will wake up in a dream.”
The two looked at it for a while, and members of the asceticism came out to confess their guilt, and then were beaten for trivial matters. Ji Yijun was too lazy to watch. Katerina was about the same. She asked, “Are we still looking at it? Or go check somewhere else?”
“Wait. Look at this.” Ji Yijun was about to leave when he suddenly found something was wrong in the venue. The adults who pleaded guilty and were beaten before were all adults, but this time, a seven or eight-year-old girl and her mother were named by Kara.
“Lilith, tell your daughter’s sin.”
“Cara. Anne is just an eight-year-old child. She is here to attend the ‘Prayer of Teaching’ for the first time. Will she be guilty?” The woman named Lilith was a little thin and seemed very weak in front of the strong Kara. And her daughter Anne was carved from the same mold, she was thin. She had been frightened by the punishment of whipping her body before, but now she heard Kara point her and was so scared that she hid behind her mother.
“Everyone makes mistakes. Come to the ‘Prayer of Teaching’, but don’t think about what mistakes you have made. Do you just want to get some food after the sacrifice?”
“You know, I won’t think so. I just want Anne to understand the teachings of the God of Nature and accept the gifts of the God of Nature.” Lilith said with a trembling voice.
