As soon as the witch left, Aslan said, "We must leave this place at once, there are other arrangements here."
Tonight, we got to the Beluna Shoal and set up camp. ”Of course, everyone wanted to ask what it had agreed with the witch, but Aslan's face was pale, and everyone felt that the roar it had just now was still echoing in their ears, so no one dared to ask.They sat on the top of the hill and ate a meal in the open air on the grass, because the sun was very strong at this time, and the grass on the ground had been dried, so they hurried to get busy, dismantled the tents, and packed up all kinds of things.At less than two o'clock, they set out for camp and headed northwest, because the place they were going to was not far away, so everyone's steps were very easy and calm.At the beginning of the journey, Aslan explained to Peter his plan of battle: "Once the witch has finished her activities around here," it said, "she and her men will surely retreat to her lair and prepare for the siege, and you may cut off her retreat and make it impossible for her to retreat smoothly."
Of course, there is also the possibility of failure. ”Later, it proposes two battle strategies: one is to fight the witch in the forest, and the other is to raid her castle.During this time, it instructed Peter on how to command others in battle, teaching him "where you must place your Rémy Martin team", or "You must send scouts to watch her every move", and not to let her do anything like that.Finally, Peter asked, "Aren't you there, Aslan?"
and "I can't promise you that." ”The lion king replied, and then it went on to teach Peter.On the last leg of the journey, Susan and Lucy had been staring at Aslan, and they could tell that he didn't talk much, and seemed to be full of sadness.Before it began to get dark, they arrived at their destination.The river valley here gives a sense of sudden enlightenment, the river is wide and the water is shallow, which is the Beluna Shoal.Aslan ordered a camp on this side of the water, but Peter had a different idea: "Wouldn't it be better for us to camp on the other side, because if she raided this place at night, it would be very disadvantageous to us." ”Aslan seemed to be preoccupied, and he shook his beautiful mane, as if he had come back to his senses.He asked, "Ah, what did you just say?"
and Peter had to repeat what he had just said."
No, it won't."
Aslan said in a deep voice, as if there was no need to worry about this, "No, she will definitely not attack tonight." ”With that, it took a deep breath, but after a moment it added, "Actually, you think very well and well, and as a warrior, you should think about it thoroughly."
But there's nothing to worry about. ”So, they started to set up their tents and prepare for camp.That evening, Aslan's mood affected everyone.Peter felt uneasy at the thought that he would be in charge of the battle, and the news that Aslan might not be there was a big blow to him.So, everyone eats quietly at dinner time in the evening.Everyone had the feeling that the atmosphere of the night was completely different from the night before, or even from this morning, as if a new hope had just arrived and was about to be shattered.Susan was also bothered by this feeling, she couldn't sleep as she lay in bed tossing and turning, she kept tossing and turning, and then she began to count constantly.Later, she heard Lucy let out a long sigh and rolled over to her side in the dark."
Can't you sleep too," Susan asked her."
Yes," replied Lucy, "I thought you were asleep."
Hey, I said, Susan" "What's wrong" "I have a very terrible premonition as if something big is going to happen. ”"Do you feel that way, actually, I think so too.""
It must have something to do with Aslan," said Lucy, "either something terrible is going to happen to it, or it's going to do something terrible." ”"I think it's been a little strange all afternoon," said Susan, "Lucy, what do you mean when it says it can't fight with us in a fight, do you think it will sneak away tonight and abandon us" "Where is it now?"
asked Lucy, "will it be in the tent?"
"It's hard to say." ”"Susan, let's go out and have a look, walk around, maybe see it.""
Alright, let's go."
Susan said, "Instead of lying down and falling asleep here, it's better to go out for a walk." ”So the two girls got out of bed lightly, and crept their way forward cautiously among the sleeping people, until at last they slipped out of the tent.The moonlight shone on his body, and there was silence except for the sound of the river gurgling.Suddenly, Susan grabbed Lucy's arm and said, "Look," and they looked over to the other side of the camp, only to see that at the edge of the woods, Aslan, the lion king, was walking towards the woods, and it slowly left everyone.The two of them didn't say anything, just silently followed behind it, walking forward together.It led them up the steep slope of the valley and then to the left, apparently the same route they had taken that afternoon when they had come from the stone table.It walked all the way ahead, into the dark and vague shadows, into the clear moonlight, and then to the end, their feet wet with dew.I don't know what's going on, but Aslan at this time looks different from the one they knew before.It walked very slowly, with its tail and head drooping, and it looked very tired.As they reached a large clearing, Aslan stopped and began to look around.Since it was empty, there was no shadow for them to dodge, and it would not be good to run any further, so they simply walked straight to it.When they came to it, they heard it say, "Oh, children, why are you following me?"
and "We can't sleep." ”Lucy said.She was convinced that even if they didn't have to say anything, Aslan would know what was going on in their minds."
Can we come with you, take us wherever you go, okay?"
asked Susan."
This" Aslan hesitated for a moment, it seemed to be thinking about it, and then it finally said, "Well, I'm glad that someone is willing to accompany me tonight."
But promise me that when I tell you to stop, you will stop, and let me go alone.If you can do that, you can follow me. ”"Oh, we promise, thank you."
Susan and Lucy hurried to speak.As they walked on, the two girls walked on either side of the lion king, but it was walking too slowly, and its noble head was now hanging down, and its nose was almost touching the grass.Even when it was walking unsteadily, it almost fell to the ground, and then, it couldn't help but let out a low sound."
Aslan, dear Aslan," Lucy asked anxiously, "can you tell us what's wrong?"
"Dear Aslan, are you sick?"
asked Susan as well."
No," Aslan replied, "I just feel very sad and lonely.Put your hands on my mane so I can feel your company and we'll move on. ”The two girls did as it was told.This was something they had wanted to do when they first saw it, and they would never have dared to do it without its permission, and they immediately put their cold little hands into its beautiful mane, and walked with it while rubbing it gently.It wasn't long before they realized that they had followed it up the hill to the stone table.They climbed all the way to the edge of the woods, and when they reached the last tree, which was the one with a few bushes around it, Aslan stopped and said to them, "Oh, children, you must stop here.Remember, whatever happens in the next moment, you must hide it from anyone.Well, farewell. ”Both girls couldn't help but cry out loud, and they didn't understand why they wanted to cry so much, and they hugged Aslan and kissed its mane, its nose, its claws, and its sad eyes.Then it turned and walked towards the top of the hill, where Susan and Lucy hid in the bushes, watching it leave, watching it keep moving forward, and what happened to them.At this moment, there were many people standing around the stone table, and even though the moon was bright now, there were still many people with torches in their hands, and the torches emitted clusters of evil red flames and wisps of black smoke as they burned.But where are these considered people, there are fanged ogres, there are jackals, minotaurs, evil dryads, and poisonous dryads, and the other animals will not be listed one by one, because if I describe it any more, the adults will probably confiscate your book, and there are also cold-faced monsters, witches, nightmare demons, shadows, horror devils, goblins, small and small-headed ghosts, etc.Anyone who stood on the side of the White Witch and heard the wolf's message appeared here, and the one standing in the middle, leaning against the stone table, was the witch herself.When the monsters saw the great lion king Aslan approaching them, they were so frightened that they immediately wailed and screamed.For a moment, even the witch herself felt a little scared.However, she quickly composed, and let out a wild weird laugh."
That idiot," she shouted, "that stupid guy is here, hurry up and tie it up" Susan and Lucy held their breath nervously, and they waited to see Aslan roar and lunge at its foe, but it didn't make a sound.The four ugly-looking witches squinted at Aslan, and they slowly walked to its side, at first hesitating, afraid to approach it for fear of possible danger."
I said, tie it up for me," the White Witch commanded again.The four witches had no choice but to rush at it, but when they found it completely unresisted, they could not help but let out a scream of victory.Then the vicious dwarfs and apes swarmed up and helped them knock the huge lion king to the ground, tying all four of its claws together.After that, they got carried away and began to shout and cheer wildly, as if they had done something great.In fact, as long as Aslan wanted to resist, it only needed to kill them all with one of its own claws, but it remained silent, allowing the enemy to drag and pull at it, and the rope was so tightly strangled into the flesh that it still remained silent.Then they began dragging it to the stone table."
Stop," said the witch, "shave all its fur first," and then an ogre came forward with a large pair of scissors.It crouched down near Aslan's head, and the witch's lackeys let out bursts of vicious laughter.As the big scissors clicked, handfuls of golden manes kept falling to the ground.After the ogre had finished cutting the lion king's mane, he stepped back and stood aside.The two girls who were hiding in the shadows saw that Aslan's face without a mane looked so small, and it was very different from the previous appearance.And the enemies felt the same way when they saw this scene."
Hey, it turns out it's just a big cat."
One of the witch's lackeys shouted."
Is this what we have been afraid of in the past?"
said another.They all gathered around Aslan and laughed at it constantly, saying something nasty: "Cat, cat, poor cat." ”Or: "Did you catch a mouse today, cat?"
and: "Would you like some milk, kitten" "Oh, how can they do this to it" Lucy cried, tears dripping down her cheeks, "These brutes, these brutes" At this point, she was no longer as shocked as she had felt at first, she felt that Aslan looked braver, more handsome, and more resilient after shearing her hair."
Put its mouth on me."
The witch commanded.Even now, when they muzzle it, it will bite off at least two or three of its hands as long as it opens its mouth, but it still doesn't move.The demons seemed to be encouraged, and they became more and more emboldened, and anyone dared to jump out and bully it, even the guys who were trembling with fear after it was tied up just now actually mustered up their courage.Moments later, it was surrounded by a horde of monsters inside and out.The two girls couldn't see it anymore, they just kept kicking and hitting it, spitting on it and insulting it.Finally, the hateful creatures had enough of tossing and turning, and they pushed and pulled, dragging the tightly tied and muzzled Lion King to the stone table.Aslan was so majestic and burly that even if they wanted to drag it to the stone table, they would have to do it with all their might.Then they added a lot of ropes to it."
Cowards," roared Susan, "to such an extent that you are still so afraid of it," and it was only when they tied Aslan so tightly on the flat stone table that they could only see a pile of ropes, and the group of thugs fell silent.The four dominatrix hold four torches in their hands and stand at the four corners of the stone table.The witch rolled up her sleeves and began to sharpen her knife as hard as she had done to Edmund that night.In the eyes of the two girls, the knife, in the light of the torches, looked like a stone knife rather than a steel one, and the shape of the knife was so strange that it was simply disgusting.Finally she approached it and stood right next to its head, her face contorted with excitement.However, Aslan just looked up at the sky, still so calm, no anger, no fear, only a trace of sadness.Just as she was about to raise her sword to cut down, she bent down and said in a trembling voice, "Now, fool, see who is the victor Do you think you can save the life of that human traitor by doing this, according to our agreement, I will kill you in his place, and in this way, the high-level magic will be fulfilled."
But once you die, who can stop me from killing him, and when that day comes, who will have the power to save him from my hands, you should know that you have delivered the kingdom of Narnia to me forever.Now you understand that not only did you lose your own life, but you didn't save his life.However, even if you know all this, it is too late, you have no hope, go die" The sisters did not go to see the scene of the beheading, they could not bear to watch it any longer, so they blindfolded their eyes with their hands.t1706231537:
