Chapter 14 Alley-3

The Italian author curiously quotes many long letters written by Yura below, while Alley's reply only extracts relevant passages.After two hundred and seventy-eight years, we are no longer familiar with the love and religious thoughts in these letters, so I am afraid that readers will get bored with too many excerpts. Judging from these letters, it seems that Ellie agreed to the request made in the letter I summarized and translated above.Yura also figured out a way to enter the monastery.In a word, it is to dress up as a woman.Ellie saw him in front of the grating of the window on the ground floor that opened onto the garden.Alley was in unspeakable pain, and Yura felt that the girl, who had been so gentle and affectionate before, had become a different person to him.She was very kind to him.She let him into the garden purely to fulfill a religious vow.The meeting time was very short, and it may be that these things that happened in the past fifteen days annoyed him, so it didn't take long for his arrogance to suppress the pain.

He thought: "In Alvaro she seems alive, but here she is dead." The way Ellie spoke to him brought tears to his eyes.All he had to do now was try to hold back the tears.She said it was very natural for her to change her mind after her brother died.After hearing her excuse, Yura said slowly: "You didn't keep your promise, you didn't meet me in the garden, go over, and when you heard the Hail Mary bell on Kawi Peak, you quickly knelt down before me. And You didn't do that today. Forget your oath if you can, and I cannot forget it.May God bless you! " After Yura finished speaking, she left the window grille.He could have been there for an hour and a half.Fifteen minutes ago, he was still so eager for this meeting, but now, he took the initiative to end it.The talk broke down this time, and he felt very sad.But he thought, she was cold to him, and in return, if she didn't make her feel guilty, then he should be despised by her.

Yura left the monastery before dawn.Immediately he mounted his horse and ordered the soldiers to wait for him in Castro for a week before returning to the forest.Yura was very disappointed.He walked towards Rome, and at every step he thought: "Am I going to leave her like this! Have we become strangers to each other! Oh, Fabio, how bitter your revenge is!" Along the way, when he saw pedestrians, he felt even more angry.So he urged his horse across the fields to the deserted beach by the sea.There he couldn't meet those peasants who looked leisurely and envied him.His mood was not stimulated by them, so he let out a breath.The deserted beach was in harmony with his mood, and he slowly calmed down and began to consider his tragic fate.

He thought to himself: "At my age, there is still a way to love another woman!" This dreadful thought made him even more depressed.Because he knew very well that he only loves one woman in this world.He thought that if he confides the word "love" to another woman, he must be tortured in pain.Just the thought broke his heart. He suddenly let out a wry smile.I thought: "Aren't I just like the heroes in Arioster's writings, who found their lovers lying in the arms of other knights, and traveled alone in desolate places in order to forget these shallow women..."

Yura burst into laughter, and burst into tears again: "She doesn't necessarily have any major faults. Although she betrayed me, she hasn't loved another man yet. She was originally pure and chaste, and she mistakenly believed that others treated me It is certain that in front of her, others said that I participated in this damn battle because I was deliberately looking for an opportunity to assassinate her brother. They even said that I had bad intentions and planned to kill her brother so that she could become the richest man in the family. The only heir...and I was so stupid that she was bewitched by the enemy for a full fifteen days. It should be said that I am so unlucky, because God deprived me of the ability to recognize life. I am too miserable and cheap. My life has become meaningless to myself and to others."

At this time, the young Yura suddenly had a rare idea: he rode his horse towards the sea, and the waves had already rushed onto the horse's hooves.He really wanted to drive his horse into the sea and leave this world of suffering.The only person in the world who made him feel happy has turned his back on him, how can he live?But suddenly, he had another idea and gave up the idea of ​​seeking death. He thought: "What is the pain I suffer now compared to the pain after death? Now she is very cold to me, and she will be even more ruthless after I die. I will watch her pounce on my rival Embrace, this love rival may be a young master in Rome. To torture me, the devil will always do everything possible to arrange some of the cruelest scenes. This is their duty. Therefore, even if I die, I can’t forget Ellie, and my love for her It will continue unabated. Because this is the most effective way God has punished me."

In order to dispel this evil thought of seeking death, Yura began to recite the Holy Mary devoutly. He had been so foolish in the past, when the morning bells struck the Hail Mary, to have made that decision, which now seemed to be the greatest mistake of his life.Out of reverence for the Virgin, he didn't dare to think further, and he didn't dare to reveal all his thoughts: "If it is said that I made a big mistake in my life because of the inspiration of the Virgin, then the Virgin Mary, who is extremely just, should not give someone A turning point, so that I can regain my happiness?"

Thinking that Our Lady will uphold justice, he gradually gained confidence.He raised his head and looked at the lush Kawi Peak and the sacred monastery standing behind the city of Albaro and the forest.It was the morning bell for the Hail Mary in the monastery that had led him to that momentary decision which he now called misfortune.However, he found solace in the unexpected beauty of the Holy Land. "No," he cried, "it is impossible for the Virgin to forsake me. Since Irene is my wife, her love permits her to do so, and my man's dignity will. Then, upon hearing of her brother's death, she It reminds me of my relationship with her.

She would think that it was fate that I met Fabivo on the battlefield.And before that, she already belonged to me.Fabio is two years older than me. He is proficient in martial arts and is far more powerful than me.There are a million reasons to show my wife that I did not start this fight at all.She may remember that her brother shot me with a musket and I held no grudges.I remember my first tryst with her on my return from Rome, and I said to her: 'What can I do?He's doing it to protect the family's honor.I can't blame a brother who is. '" Out of her faith in the Virgin, Yura gave birth to hope again.He rode on the road, and a few hours later, he returned to the station of his troops.He saw that the soldiers were loaded with live ammunition and embarked on the road from Naples to Rome, preparing to pass through the Cassan Ridge.The young captain changed his horse and went with the soldier.There was no fighting that day.Yura didn't ask what the march was for, it didn't matter to him.As soon as he placed himself in the leadership position of the soldiers, he had a new understanding of his destiny.

He thought: "I'm such an idiot, I have absolutely no reason to leave Castro. Ellie might not be as bad as I thought in my anger.No, it is impossible for her not to belong to me.Her heart is so innocent and pure.Her first love came from her heart.She was full of sincere affection for me.Didn't she plan to elope with me, a pauper, many times, and go to Kawei Peak to find monks to marry us?Staying in Castro, I have to meet her one more time and explain it to her.I am so sentimental and make a child tantrum!Oh, God!It would be nice to have a friend remind me at that time.Only two minutes apart, there are two understandings of the same thing. "

That evening, when the procession had left the road and returned to the forest, Yura went to the prince and begged him to stay a few days longer in a place known to the prince. "Go to hell," cried the Prince. "Do you think this is the time to be childish with me?" An hour later Yura set off for Castro again.There he found his men.The last time he had been so proud he had left Ellie, and now he didn't know how to write to her.The first letter only wrote one sentence: "Would you like to see me tomorrow night?" Her reply was only one sentence: "Yes." After Yura left last time, Allie thought he was gone forever.Only then did she realize that Yura had a point: she had been his wife before he fought her brother on the battlefield. This time Ellie did not say the cold, angry words that had chilled Yura the last time they met, but she was still behind the window grille.She trembled because Yura spoke carefully, almost as if speaking to a stranger.This time it was Ellie's turn to be unbearable.Because after being intimate with each other, hearing such an indifferent tone would make you feel very uncomfortable. Yura explained to Ellie in the tone of a lawyer that she had been his wife before the fierce battle in Simby.He was very afraid that Allie would say some cold words to make him feel uncomfortable.Ai Lei didn't interrupt him, and even if she wanted to answer him, she only said a few words, because she was afraid that if she said too much, she would cry uncontrollably.Finally, seeing that she couldn't control her emotions, she asked her friend to come back tomorrow. That night was the eve of the festival.Early the next morning, the nuns were going to sing sutras. The meeting time was too long, fearing being discovered. Yura walked out of the garden thoughtfully like a reasonable lover.But he wasn't sure if Ai Lei treated him really well or not.While talking with his companions, he was advised to use force to solve the problem, and now he began to think about it.He thought, "One day, I might have to snatch Ellie over." He began to think of ways to enter the garden by force.Because the monastery was very rich and often robbed, it hired a large number of servants, most of whom had served as soldiers in the past.They lived in a sort of barracks-style house with barred windows opening onto narrow passages.One end of the aisle leads to the outer door of the monastery, which is opened on a black wall more than eighty feet high; the other end leads directly to the inner door guarded by the nuns.On the left side of the passage was the barracks, and on the right was the garden wall thirty feet high.On the square opposite the monastery, the front wall is blackened with age.Apart from a door, there was only one window on the wall.This is the window through which the servants look out.The gate was covered with thick iron sheets, with thick nails nailed on it.The window was only four feet high and one foot and eight inches wide.One can imagine how forbidding this scene is! The author of the original manuscript will have a long description of the successive encounters between Yura and Ai Lei, so we will not repeat them one by one.In short, the two lovers were reconciled, as close as ever in the gardens of Alvaro.But Eileen was still very reluctant to meet him in the garden.One night, Yura saw her preoccupied.It turned out that her mother had come to visit her from Rome, and was going to spend a few days in the convent.The mother is so kind, guessing that her daughter has an affair, she is even more caring and considerate to her.Ai Lei had no choice but to fall in love with her mother without telling her, and she felt deeply guilty about it.Because she dared not tell her mother that her lover was the one who killed her brother!Eilee finally confesses frankly to Yura that she doesn't have the guts to lie.Yura felt that she was in a very dangerous position. If Alley revealed a word to Mrs. Gambilar, their business might fall through.The next night, he said firmly to Allie: "Come early tomorrow night. Take down a window rail. Then you can come to the garden." I'll take you to a church in the city.A priest who was my friend was there to witness our marriage.Before dawn, you return to the garden again.If you become my wife, I won't worry about it.Even if your mother wants me to hold an atonement ceremony for your brother, I agree, even if I don't see you for a few months, I have no objection. " Because Eilee seemed very embarrassed, Yura said again: "The prince called me back. Due to reputation and various other reasons, I have to go immediately. My advice is the only way to secure our future.If you don't agree, we shall part here.I will leave you and regret my indiscretion.I believe your word, but you are not faithful to the most sacred oath.I despise your indiscretions, and I believe that this contempt will gradually heal the wounds of love that have long made my life unhappy. " Alley cried: "My God, this is terrible for my mother!" In the end she agreed to his proposal. She added: "However, people will find out when I come and go. Think about the scandals that will spread. You also have to think about how embarrassing my mother's situation will be. Let's wait until she leaves for a few days." "I originally regarded trusting your words as the most precious and holy thing, but now you have made me doubt this kind of trust. We must get married tomorrow night, otherwise, we will break up completely." Poor Alley burst into tears and said nothing.What Yura said was so categorical, leaving nothing to chance, which pierced Ailei's heart. Should she really be looked down upon by him?He had been so tame and tender to her.Is this still the lover?However, she agreed to his request anyway.Long pulled away.Ellie waited for the next night in a torment of melancholy.Even if she was ready to die, she would not suffer such pain. She could still think of Yura's love and mother's love, and get courage from it.Before dawn, she changed her mind and wanted to tell her mother everything.The next day, when she appeared in front of her mother, her face was so pale that the mother forgot the wise decision she had made, threw herself into her daughter's arms, and asked loudly, "What happened? What did you do? What did you want?" What to do? Tell me. If you don't say anything, why don't you take a dagger and stab me in the chest, it will make me feel better. " Ellie knew that her mother was full of affection, and she saw that her mother tried to restrain herself and speak softly.She was finally moved and knelt down in front of her mother.The mother wanted to find out her secrets and asked her why she was avoiding her.Allie replied that from tomorrow onwards, she would come to accompany her mother every day, but asked her not to ask any further questions. After saying these words, Allie spit out the whole truth again.The mother was shocked to hear that her son's killer was nearby.But soon she turned from sorrow to joy, because she learned that her daughter did not violate women's ethics. The cautious mother immediately changed plans.She didn't pay attention to this man.She thought she could send him away with a little trick.Alley was struck with passion and distraught.She poured out the melancholy accumulated in her heart.The mother thought she had nothing to worry about, so she came up with a lot of reasons to persuade her daughter.It would be too long-winded to write it out here.She had no difficulty in convincing her daughter that a secret marriage would stain a woman's life; that if she would persuade reasonable lovers to postpone it for a week, she could perform it publicly and respectably. The mother prepares to go to Rome to explain to her husband that Alley was married to Yura long before the battle of the unfortunate Simby.The wedding took place that night.They pretended to be monks and ran into their father and elder brother on the narrow stone path outside the walls of the Capuchin monastery.All day, the mother never leaves her daughter.By night, Allie wrote a heartfelt letter to her lover.The letter was very touching.In the letter, she poured out her painful ideological struggle.Then she begged him to postpone it for a week.She went on to write: "Mother's messenger is waiting for me. I seem to feel that I am too confused to tell my mother everything. I seem to see you angry and staring at me angrily. I regret it so much that it breaks my heart.You want to say that I am too weak, too timid, and too spineless.I admit this, my dear angel.But you also think about this scene: my mother almost knelt down to me in tears.Then I had to tell her that for some reason I couldn't agree to her request.At that time, my heart softened and I said this rash sentence.Now I don't know what happened at that time, anyway, it was impossible not to tell the things between us at that time.All I remember is that I seemed to be in a panic, wanting to hear other people's opinions, hoping to find inspiration in my mother's words.But I forgot, my friend, that my dear mother has conflicting interests with yours.I forgot that my first duty is to obey you.It seems that I do not feel true love.It is said that true love can stand all tests.You despise me, my Yura.But for God's sake, don't cut off your love for me.Take me with you if you like, only you must consider fairly that no terrible danger in the world, not even shame, will prevent me from obeying your will so long as mother is not in the convent.But my mother is so kind!So reasonable!So virtuous!You remember what I told you in the past, when my father searched my bedroom, I couldn't hide your letter, and she helped me solve the problem.Afterwards, she didn't read the letter, and didn't say anything wrong with me, so she returned the letter to me.My mother has protected me like this critical moment all my life.So you understand why I love her so much.But as I write you these words (terrible to say), I seem to hate her again. "She said that because of the hot weather, she would like to spend the night in a tent in the garden. I heard the sound of hammers, and someone pitched a tent there. We will not be able to see each other tonight. I suspect that the boarding students' dormitory is locked, and there are elevators. The two doors are also locked. This is to prevent me from going to the garden. If I can go to the garden, you may put the fire away. Ah! If I have a way at this time, I will rush into your arms at once , run to that church immediately, and hold a wedding with you!" The last two pages of the letter are filled with passion.I found this impassioned rhetoric to be a parody of Plato's philosophies.Therefore, I cut out that kind of flowery rhetoric in the translation process. Yura was surprised to receive this letter an hour or so before the evening bell toll the Hail Mary.He happened to be at church to make arrangements with the priest to return.He was mad with rage. "This cowardly and incompetent woman! There is no need for her to persuade me to take her away." He immediately set off for the Farjila Forest. The case of Mrs. Gambilari was as follows: her husband, unable to avenge Yura, fell ill with rage and was dying.He had paid a lot of money to recruit assassins in Rome, but in vain, because no one would assassinate one of Corlauna's men.They know very well that if they do that, they and their families will be finished.About a year ago, one of Corona's soldiers was killed in a certain village, and the whole village was immediately retaliated, and the whole village was set on fire, and the men and women of the villagers who fled to the fields were caught, tied up, and thrown into the fire. Mrs. Gambilari owned a lot of real estate in the Kingdom of Naples.The husband wants her to recruit killers from there.She agreed on the surface, but she had other ideas in her heart.She understood that her daughter's marriage to Yura was a foregone conclusion.Under these circumstances, she thought, now that the Spanish army was fighting the rebels in Flanders, it would be nice if Yura joined the army in Spain and fought a battle or two.If he hadn't died in battle, it would have shown God's approval of the fateful marriage.Then she would give her daughter the territory in Naples.Yura can use the name of one of the pieces as his surname, and then he takes his wife to live in Spain for a few years.After these twists and turns, she may have the courage to meet this son-in-law. But after listening to her daughter's confession, her opinion changed. Not only did she think that this marriage was not destined, but she also had a new plan. At the same time as Alley was writing to her lover the letter I translated above, Mrs. Gambilari wrote to the Begara and Chieti districts, ordering her tenants to send her reliable fighters to Castro Come.She told them bluntly that she had called these people to avenge the death of her son, Fabio, their young master.At dusk, the messengers took the letters away. On the third day of May, Yura returned to Castro, bringing with him eight soldiers.They were not afraid to annoy the Prince, and they were willing to come with him, for the Prince had severely punished several such incidents.Yula originally had five soldiers in Castro, but this time he brought eight, making him a total of fourteen.The monastery is heavily guarded, no matter how brave they are, they still seem weak to do it. The action they had to take was to enter the first gate of the monastery first with force or outsmart, and then pass through a corridor more than fifty steps long.As mentioned above, on the left side of the corridor is a barracks with iron bars on the windows, in which thirty or forty servants who had served as soldiers lived.When the alarm was raised, they fired heavily through the window grilles. The abbot of the monastery was afraid of robbery from the Orsini family, Prince Corona, Marco Siana, and the robbers who had established themselves as kings nearby.If eight hundred men thought the monastery was full of gold and raided a small town like Castro, how would her monastery resist? Usually, there are fifteen or twenty veterans on duty in the barracks on the left side of the corridor of the monastery, and an insurmountable high wall on the right side of the corridor.At the end of the corridor is an iron gate, inside is the ring-posted vestibule, behind the vestibule is the large courtyard of the monastery, and on the right is the garden. Yura brought eight people to a place thirty miles away from Castro, and stopped at a hotel with few guests to avoid the scorching sun.It was only here that Yura announced his plan of action and drew a route to attack the monastery on the sand in the courtyard. He said to his subordinates: "At nine o'clock in the evening, we had dinner outside the city; we entered the city in the middle of the night and joined five companions waiting by the monastery. Among them was a horse, pretending to be a messenger, to convey that Prince Gambilari was dying. Let his wife go back immediately. We will make every effort to pass quietly through the first door next to the barracks." Pointing to the picture on the sand, he said: "If there was a fight when we passed the first gate, the people in the barracks would conveniently shoot us. At that time we were still in the small square in front of the monastery, or the first gate. Go to the narrow passage between the second door, only to be beaten. The second door is an iron door, but I have the key." "It is true that the door has thick iron bars, and possibly a door hammer attached to the wall, such that if such things are bolted, the door cannot be opened for two pages. However, the two iron bars are too heavy, and the gatekeeper The nuns are hard to move, I've passed the door no less than ten times and it's never been barred. Hope it'll go through tonight. You know, I have an insider at the convent. My purpose was to take a boarder, not a nun.Only use weapons when absolutely necessary.If we started fighting before we got to the second gate, the nun would call in two seventy-year-old gardeners and bar the bars.In such a situation, to enter the inner courtyard, it took ten minutes to tear down the wall.In any case, I will go ahead through this door.I paid off a flower worker.Of course, I did not reveal my hijacking plan.After passing the second gate, we turn right and there is a garden.Once here, start fighting.No matter who you see, you must subdue.Of course, only swords and daggers can be used, and a shot will startle the whole city.We get attacked when we go out.I only have thirteen of you, but we may not be unable to pass through this ruined city. Certainly no one would dare to go to the streets, but some residents had muskets and would shoot out the windows. If you really want to encounter this kind of situation, you have to follow the wall.After entering the garden, no matter who you see, you must order in a low voice: Go back!Whoever disobeys will be killed with a knife.I will take a few people with me into the monastery through the small garden gate, and after three minutes, I will hold a woman or two down, and don't let them walk.Then, we quickly withdrew from the monastery and drove out of the city. I left two of you standing guard at the gate of the city, firing a few shots from time to time, and firing about twenty shots to scare the residents and keep them from approaching. " Yura asked the following question twice. "Got it? The vestibule is dark. Make no mistake. Remember the garden is on the right and the yard is on the left." The soldiers all said: "Don't worry!" Then, they go to drink.The corporal did not follow, he begged to speak to the captain.He said: "Your plan is too simple. I have attacked two monasteries and this is the third. It's just that we have too few people.If we were forced to tear down the wall to get through the second gate, we had to consider the time it would take to tear down the wall, and those people in the barracks wouldn't just stand by and shoot right away, killing seven or eight of us.When we walked back, the woman we snatched might be taken back by them.This was the case when we attacked a monastery near Bologna: they killed five of us, we killed eight of them.But the captain still didn't snatch his wife out.My lord, I have two ideas for you: Near this inn I know four peasants who fought under Ciara in the past, and they are very valiant, and they will fight like lions all night for a gold coin.Maybe they'll steal some silver from the monastery.This has nothing to do with you, it's their fault.Your business is just to hire them to help you rob your wife.My second suggestion is this: There is a young man named Yug who is educated and smart. It turned out to be a doctor, but later he killed his brother-in-law and fled into the forest.You can send him to ask for work in front of the monastery an hour before dark.He would sneak in as much as he could, and buy the servants a drink so they could soak the fuses of their ammunition. "Unfortunately, Yura adopted the corporal's suggestion. The corporal said when he left: "We attack the monastery and we will be excommunicated."In addition, this monastery is directly under the protection of the Virgin Mary..." These words seemed to remind Yura.He cried, "I see! You stay here with me." The corporal closed the door and prayed with Euler counting the rosary.After working for an hour, they did not resume their journey until dark. Yura entered Castro alone at eleven o'clock.When the midnight bell struck, he came outside the city to pick up his men.In addition to the eight soldiers, he took three heavily armed peasants.He led them to join the five soldiers in the city, so that he had sixteen men under him.Two of them disguised themselves as servants.They wore great black robes over chain mail, and their hats were unfeathered. At half past twelve, Yura, pretending to be a messenger, rode to the gate of the monastery and shouted to open the door to the envoy sent by the cardinal.He was pleased to see that the old soldiers who answered at the little window by the door were all half drunk.As usual, he wrote his name on a piece of paper and handed it in.A servant gave the calling card to the nun, who held the key to the second door.When something important happened, she had to wake up the headmistress.A reply came three quarters of an hour later.During this period of time, Yura took great pains to keep his subordinates from revealing their targets.When the dean's reply came out, some cautious citizens even opened the windows.The servants were too lazy to open the gate, so they put a six-foot ladder out of the small window and let Yura climb into the barracks by himself.Yura had no choice but to follow two soldiers disguised as servants and enter through the window.Yura saw Yug watching him as he climbed up the window.Thanks to his arrangements, the servants in the barracks were all drunk. Yula told the captain of the guard that he had brought three servants from Gambilari's house to be his bodyguards on the way.They bought a lot of fine wine.Drink on the empty lawn outside.They will feel bored and want to come here to talk and have a drink with everyone.The servants agreed unanimously. At this time Yura, accompanied by two of his men, descended the ladder to the corridor. "Try to open the gate," he said to Yug. He calmly came to the iron gate and found the nun who conveyed it.The nun told him that since it was past midnight, the abbot had to write to the bishop if he wanted to be admitted.So I asked him to deliver the express letter to the little nun sent by the abbot to collect it. Yula replied that Mr. Gambilari's condition suddenly turned critical and his family was in chaos. He only brought a simple certificate issued by the doctor.For the details, he had to tell Mrs. Gambilari and her daughter face to face.If they are not in the courtyard, they should also talk to the headmistress.When the nuns went in to report, only the little nun sent by the dean stayed by the door.Yura chatted with her, amused her, but stretched out her hand through the iron gate.He was joking and trying to open the door.The little nun was shy and repelled his jokes.Feeling the long delay, Yura hastily grabbed a handful of gold coins and handed them to the little nun, begging her to open the door, explaining that he was too tired to wait. The author of the story believes that Yura has obviously done something stupid, and at this time he needs to use a knife instead of money.The little nun was at the door, not a foot away, and it was easy to catch her. Seeing the money handed over, the little girl was at a loss.Later she said that from the way Yura talked, she could tell that this was not an ordinary messenger, but that it must be a nun's lover who had come here for an appointment.The nun was very pious, and full of terror, she ran into the courtyard and pulled the rope on a small bell desperately.A bell suddenly rings in the silent monastery, which can wake up even the dead. Yura shouted to his men: "The battle has begun, be careful." He took out the key, reached out and pulled out the iron bar, and opened the door.The little nun fell to her knees helplessly, read the Hail Mary, and shouted that they had committed blasphemy.Yura should have gagged the girl, but he didn't have the courage.His men grabbed the little nun and gagged her. At this moment Yura heard a gunshot behind him.It turned out that Yuge opened the gate, and the soldiers outside came in quietly.But one of the servants was not yet drunk.Looking closer to the window rail, he was surprised to find so many people in the corridor, so he cursed and ordered them to stop.The soldiers did not answer, and continued to walk towards the iron gate.Last to go was a farmer who had been summoned in the afternoon, and shot the servant who was calling at the window, killing him.The gunshot in the middle of the night, and the screams of the drunks when they saw their companions fall, woke up the servants who were sleeping in their beds and hadn't drunk.Eight or nine of them, half naked, rushed up the passage and began shooting violently at Yura's soldiers. We see Yura open the iron gate after the gunshot.He led two soldiers, rushed into the garden, and ran to the stairway door of the boarding students' dormitory.Five or six guns fired at them head-on, knocking down two attendants, and Yura was shot in the right arm.It turned out that with the permission of the bishop, Mrs. Gambilar ordered five or six of her servants to watch the night in the garden.They were the ones who fired these shots.Yura knew the place well, so he ran to the door alone, shaking it desperately, trying to open the small door, but failed.He wanted to find someone under his command, but no one agreed.Both soldiers died.In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he ran into three servants of the Gambilar family and fought with them.He defends himself with a dagger.He ran to the iron gate again, trying to call some soldiers, but the iron gate was closed again, not only with a heavy iron bolt, but also locked.It was the little nun who sounded the alarm to wake up the two old gardeners. Yura thought: "The escape route is blocked." He informed his subordinates of the situation.He picked the lock with his sword.If successful, remove the iron bar and a door will open.But his sword broke in the ring.At this moment, several servants came running from the garden, and one of them wounded Yura in the shoulder.He turned around and leaned his back against the iron gate, feeling that several people were attacking him.He defended himself with a dagger, but fortunately it was dark, and the swords that came at him fell on the chain mail.Someone stabbed him sharply with a sword, stabbing him in the knee, and the pain was unbearable.The man used too much force and fell down. He sprang at the man, stabbed him in the face, killed him, and took his sword from him. This time, he felt saved.He came to the left side of the courtyard.His men ran up and fired five or six shots through the iron gate, driving back the servants.The hall was dark, and only by the firelight from the shooting could one see clearly what was inside. Yura shouted to his men: "Stop shooting my way!" "You're trapped inside," the corporal said calmly to Yura through the door. "Three of our men are dead. We're going to unbolt this side. Don't come near. We've been shot. It's like a garden." There are enemies." Yura said, "It's those bastard servants from Gambilar's house." Someone heard them talking, and shot where the sound came from.Yura hid in the nun's reception room on the left.He was delighted to find an ever burning lamp before the statue of the Virgin.He took down the lamp carefully, for fear that the light would go out.But he was horrified to find himself trembling all over.He saw the wound on his knee bleeding profusely and excruciating pain. Yura glanced around, and was surprised to find that Ailei's confidant maid, Little Merida, passed out on the wooden chair.He shook her vigorously to wake her up. She cried: "Here you are! Master Yura, you want to kill your friend Marida?" Yura said: "How could I kill you. Please tell Ellie, I beg her to forgive me for disturbing her rest, and hope that she will often think of the bells of the Hail Mary on Kawi Peak. Here is a bouquet I picked in Alvaro's garden.It is stained with blood, please wash it and give it to her. " At this time, he heard gunshots coming from the corridor.The monastery guards were attacking his men. Yura asked Marida, "Tell me, where is the key to the little door?" "I don't know. This is the key to the inner door. You can open it and go out." Yura took the key and rushed out of the house. He said to his soldiers: "Stop tearing down the wall, I have the key." He picked up the key to unlock it, and the surroundings were silent for a while.The first piece of small key didn't work, so another piece was replaced.The lock finally opened.When he raised the iron bar, he was shot again in the right arm.The shot was fired almost right next to him.Immediately he felt that the arm was going nowhere. He shouted to his men: "Raise the iron bar." In fact, he didn't need to shout.在枪响时，他们借着火光，看见铁杠一端脱开了门上的铁环，便有三四只有力的手一齐用力，抽出了铁杠。铁杠脱开环后，掉到地上。他们打开了一扇门。下士进了门，低声地对尤拉说：“毫无办法了。我们死了五个，只有三四个没有受伤了。” 尤拉说：“我流血太多，觉得要晕过去了。你叫他们抬我走吧。” 在尤拉与勇敢的下士说话时，修道院的仆人向他开了三四枪。下士倒地死了。好在育格听到了尤拉的命令，叫了两个士兵，把上尉抬走。尤拉还很清醒，命令他们把他抬到花园小门旁。士兵听到命令，骂了几句，但还是服从了。 尤拉喊道：“谁打开这道门，赏一百金币！” 三个人发疯地砸门，可无济于事。站在三楼窗前的一个老园丁用手枪朝他们猛烈射击，正好照亮他们的路。 他们费了好大的劲才打开门。尤拉完全昏迷了。育格叫士兵尽快抬走上尉。他则进了修女传达室，把小玛丽达推出门，命令她赶快逃走，并要她永远保密不要说出刚才看到谁了。育格抽出床上的垫草，砸烂两把椅子，在房里放了一把火。当他看到火燃起来时，便冒着修道院里卫兵射来的枪弹，撒腿往外跑。 在离开修道院一百五十多步的地方，他找到了上尉。他完全不省人事了。战士抬着他拼命跑。不到几分钟，他们便出了城。育格叫大家歇口气。和他一块儿的只有四个士兵了。 他派两名回到城里，命令他们每隔五分钟放几枪。 “尽量找到受伤的伙伴。”他对他们说，“在天亮前出城。 我们走的是克劳司·罗沙小路。凡是能放火的地方，就放它一把火。 他们出城走了三十里路，尤拉才苏醒过来。太阳升起一竿子高了。育格向他报告情况：“您的队伍只有五个人了，其中三人还受了伤。幸存下来的两个农民，每人打发两个金币跑了。我派两个没受伤的士兵，到附近农村找外科医生去了。” 不一会儿，外科医生骑一匹壮实的驴子来了。他是一个战战兢兢的老头子。士兵威胁要烧他的房子，才把他请来。他给吓坏了，要喝口酒壮壮胆，才能做手术。最后老医生开始工作。他对尤拉说，他的伤势并不严重。 接着他又说：“膝盖上的伤不危险，但您得静养两三周，否则伤势一恶化，您就要瘸一辈子。” 医生又给两个受伤的士兵包扎了伤口。育格给尤拉使了个眼色。他给了医生两个金币。医生受宠若惊，连连道谢。接着他们又借口感谢他，拿出烧酒给他喝，把他灌得酩酊大醉。 他们把医生抬到附近的地里，用纸包了四个金币塞到他口袋里。这是买他的驴子的钱。他们用毛驴驮上尤拉和一个伤了腿的士兵。他们在一个池塘边倒塌的古楼里避开正午的溽暑，然后绕开村庄，走了一夜。这条路上人烟稀少。第二天太阳出山时，尤拉才醒过来。他被人抬着，进了法日拉大森林深处烧炭人的窝棚。这里是他的大本营。 六第二天，修道院的花园里，内外门之间甬道上，躺着九具尸体。修女们看到这种情景都吓坏了。修道院的仆人里，也有八个受了伤。修道院从未发生过这种可怕的事情。过去，门前广场上也响过枪，而这次是在花园里，在修道院内部，在修女窗下打枪。仗打了一个半小时，院里乱成了一团。如果尤拉能与院里某个修女或寄宿生来个里应外合，通花园的好几道门，只要开一张，他这次行动就成功了。可尤拉认为艾蕾的行为是背信弃义，十分气愤，一定要用武力解决。本来他可以把行动计划透露给修道院的某个人，由她转告艾蕾，事情就会成功。但尤拉却认为这样做反而会坏他的事。其实那时只要跟小玛丽达说一句，叫她打开朝花园的任何一张门，情况就会完全不同：外面可怕的枪声响成一片，里面修女们一个个惊慌失措，只要进去一个男人，修女们就会乖乖地服从命令。事实上，听到第一声枪响后，艾蕾胆战心惊，为情人的生命担心，只想与他一块逃走。 当艾蕾听小玛丽达说尤拉膝部严重受伤，大量失血时，她的痛苦心情不可言状。她恨自己太胆小，太懦弱。 “我因为软弱，对妈妈说了实情，害得尤拉流血。他在这次激战中英勇拼杀，奋不顾身，很可能遇到危险。” 仆人们被允许进入接待室，向急于打听昨夜事情的修女谈起战斗的情况，说他们从来没见过有谁像那个信使打扮、指挥强盗进攻的青年那样勇敢。修女们对这些情况都很感兴趣。 艾蕾自然就更加关心了。她追根究底地打听强盗头目的情况。 听完仆人和两个公正的见证人——老园丁的详细介绍以后，艾蕾觉得她似乎不再爱母亲了。昨夜以前，母女俩还是亲密无间的，而现在，她们竟吵了起来。 艾蕾手里一直拿着一束花。冈比拉立夫人发现花上粘有血迹，很反感地说：“这花被血染脏了，丢了它吧。” “他是因为我才流的血。也只怪我懦弱，把隐情告诉了您，他才流了血。” “你还爱杀死你哥哥的刽子手？” “我爱的是我丈夫。是哥哥先攻击他。这是我的终身不幸。” 这次争吵后，虽然冈比拉立夫人还在修道院住了三天，可母女之间没说过一句话。 在母亲走后第二天，修道院叫来很多泥工到花园来建新的防御工事。艾蕾利用内外两门之间人来人往，乱哄哄的局面，和小玛丽达打扮成工匠，顺利地溜出修道院。但是，城门把守很严，她们无法出城。最后还是那个曾为她递信的小商人，认她作女儿，把她带出了城，而且把她一直送到阿尔巴罗。她在奶妈家找到了藏身的地方。她曾资助奶妈开了一个小店。她一到，便给尤拉写了一封信。奶妈好不容易找到一个送信的人。他虽不知道高劳纳部下士兵的口令，却愿意冒险进入法日拉森林送信。 三天后，派去送信的人慌慌张张地回来了。他不但没有找到尤拉，而且由于他到处打听年轻上尉的下落，引起别人怀疑，只好匆忙逃回。 “毫无疑问，可怜的尤拉已死了。”艾蕾自语，“是我害死了他，是我的懦弱和胆小酿成的恶果。他本该爱一个坚强的女人，比如高劳纳亲王手下某个统领的女儿。” 奶妈以为艾蕾要去寻死，便上山去嘉布遣会修道院祈祷。
