第二章牧师与恶魔(1/13)

兰斯用手指轻轻挑起黑色的布帘，向车厢外张望。马车出了艾哈迈城不远，便离开了国道，一头钻进树林中的小路，颠簸前行。
                                                                                                                                                                这一带的树木多是些干巴巴的柳树，叶子没精打采的垂着，看了让人倍感乏味。但即使是这样，兰斯也很庆幸自己能坐在靠窗的一边。
                                                                                                                                                                车子另一侧的窗子用棉布封死了，若是他和鲍利那位奇妙的雇主想向车子外张望，就没有兰斯这般方便。当兰斯转过头时，经常能迎上雇主的眼楮。
                                                                                                                                                                雇主瞪他一眼，便垂下头不再看了。车内狭窄，鲍利这样的大身板，一人便占了一边的坐位，因此兰斯有幸和雇主坐在一起。
                                                                                                                                                                那少言寡语的雇主，似乎对兰斯也颇为排斥，坐得尽量离他远一些，受气般的坐在角落里。为了并到兰斯的腿，他还小心的把膝盖倚在车厢内壁上。
                                                                                                                                                                兰斯起初觉得有些好笑，但看看人家一尘不染的黑绒长筒靴，觉得雇主是怕被自己的脏袍子并脏，这样一想，又感到有些丧气。雇主话很少，脾气很大。
                                                                                                                                                                直到现在也没有为兰斯解释他的任务。兰斯和鲍利为生计着想，不敢触雇主的霉头，人家既然不愿开口，他们也索性不问。
                                                                                                                                                                入夜以后，气温迅速的降了下来。鲍利的肚子不顾主人的劝阻，咕咕的叫了起来，为丢了的一顿晚餐抗议。
                                                                                                                                                                鲍利不好意思的大笑，被斯克雷瞪了一眼之后，不敢再笑，肚子却仍然叫个不停，斯克雷脸上的怒意更胜了。当兰斯听到附近哗哗的水声时，斯克雷先生吩咐马车停下。
