PART.1 Accidental miss

  In the middle of the sixteenth century, in a small town in western Europe, there was an old nobleman named Hill. He was brazen and scheming. The people in the town hid away from him when they saw him.

  Recently, Old Hill took a fancy to an orphan girl named Lindsay. He kept giving Lindsay gifts, but Lindsay didn't appreciate it and returned all his gifts. Old Hill was anxious and angry. He asked the servant to inquire, and only then did he understand that Lindsay had a sweetheart, and he was Lardan who lived outside the town.

  Old Hill couldn't help but become angry. Lardan was just a poor pariah, how could he be qualified to rob a woman from himself? When he thought of "robbing", Old Hill had an idea.

  On this day, Old Hill followed Lindsay to the suburbs with his servants. Lindsay was digging for wild vegetables when Old Hill walked up to her out of nowhere and said with a smile, "Lovely girl, be my lover? I will let you live in a tall house and let many people serve you..."

  Lindsay turned her face and said, "Don't be delusional! I'd rather sit with Lardan under the big tree in front of the door and watch the stars than live in your mansion and have nightmares!"

Old Hill was not angry at all. He stretched out his hands and rushed towards Lindsay: "Girl, now whether you like it or not, can you still escape from my palm?"

  The two servants turned their faces away with a wicked smile. At this moment, they only heard Old Hill suddenly scream like killing a pig. Looking back, they saw him lying on the ground covering his stomach, blood staining his robes. Lindsay stood tremblingly aside, holding a bloody vegetable spatula in his hand.

  The two servants rushed over screaming, carried Old Hill on their backs, and ran towards the clinic in the town.

  Lindsay's shovel almost killed Old Hill. Before Old Hill was healed, he found Kevin, the town judge, and asked him to hang Lindsay immediately in accordance with the law!

  Kevin is a good judge who enforces the law impartially. He knows that according to the current law, Old Hill's request is not excessive: if a pariah assassinates a nobleman, it should be sentenced to hanging.

  However, Kevin was very sympathetic to Lindsay, and he persuaded Old Hill to give up pursuing Lindsay, but Old Hill refused, and he shouted aggressively: "This little bitch must go to the gallows, and it must be in front of Lardan. Execution under the big tree! Didn't she want to sit under the big tree with that poor ghost and watch the stars? Humph, then I'll make this tree a nightmare for these two pariahs!" After speaking, he left angrily.

  After a while, Lardan also came to the door. As soon as he entered, he fell on the ground and cried and begged, "Your Honor, please save Lindsay!"

  Kevin sighed and told Lardan: From a legal point of view, Old Hill's request is legal, and there is little hope of rescuing Lindsay. After Lardan heard this, he left in despair.

  After sending Lardhan away, Kevin turned over all the legal documents. He checked all night, and at dawn, he finally found a long-forgotten legal provision in an old code: When an unmarried girl is executed, if someone dares to rush into the execution ground to kiss her, then the girl can be exempted from the death penalty, but she must marry the person who kissed her.

  Suddenly, Kevin was ecstatic, he asked his assistant to call Lardan quickly, he had an idea...

PART.2 In times of crisis

  On the day of the execution, the whole town gathered under the big tree in front of Lardhan's house. The gallows had been set, and Lindsay stood under the gallows with a thick rope around his neck.

  At this point, Kevin was sitting behind a table next to the big tree, next to his pastor friend. According to the idea he gave Lardhan in advance, the moment he announced the execution, Lardhan should rush out of the crowd, rush under the gallows, and kiss Lindsay on the cheek. In this way, Kevin can immediately take out the code, declare Lindsay acquitted in public, and must marry Lardhan, and then the priest will officiate the wedding on the spot. But now at this most critical moment, Lardhan is gone! Even the door of Lardhan's house has been closed.

  Kevin was very anxious. At this moment, old Hill came over and said with a smile: "Your Honor, are you looking for Lardan? He won't come, my servant has trapped him at home. Thank you for having a good assistant. I only gave him twenty gold coins and he told me all the news. Now, I can go and kiss Lindsay, and then ask you to judge: Lindsay must marry me. Of course, if Lindsay is still so rebellious, then she is courting death. People who disobey my old Hill can't even save her!"

  When Kevin heard this, he felt his head buzzing. He turned to look for his assistant, but found that the assistant was gone, and Kevin immediately understood.

  At this time, Old Hill paced under the gallows step by step and shouted triumphantly: "Miss Lindsay, I, Old Hill, really love you, and I don't want to see you hanged. Now, I can Save your life, as long as you promise to be my eternal lover and slave in front of everyone, I can save you with a kiss of mine..."

  Old Hill was talking in high spirits when he didn't expect Lindsay to spit in his face, and the crowd suddenly burst into applause.

  Old Hill was so angry that he turned around and ran back to Kevin's desk, roaring loudly: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and execute!"

  Kevin stood up, waved his hand and said, "What's the hurry? The pastor hasn't prayed for her yet. Lindsay is so young, if she doesn't have the pastor's guidance, she may not be able to find her way to heaven." After speaking, he patted The pastor's shoulder, shook the pastor's hand, and said, "Go ahead and pray for this poor girl."

  The priest nodded, walked to the execution table and began to pray. Listening to the pastor's prayer, Lindsay's tears fell, and some in the crowd began to cry in low voices.

  Old Hill knew that Kevin was stalling for time, but he was not in a hurry at all. The pastor's prayer would eventually end. At that time, what other tricks would Kevin have?

PART.3 Wonderful Kiss

  Just as the pastor's prayer was about to end, Kevin suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, gavel, why is my gavel missing?"

  Without the gavel, Kevin couldn't order the execution, which was too paediatric. Old Hill immediately jumped to Kevin's side, flipped a few times, and found the gavel from under the table. He shoved the gavel into Kevin's hand, and when he looked back, the pastor just finished praying, so he shouted at Kevin: "Hurry up and drop the gavel, right now!"

  Kevin raised the gavel high and slowly fell, everyone's eyes fixed on Kevin's hand. But Kevin's gavel fell halfway, but suddenly stopped. Old Hill asked angrily, "What the hell do you have in mind? Why don't you drop the gavel quickly?"

  Kevin gently put down the gavel, took out a very old code from under the table, turned to one of the pages, and read aloud: "According to Article 72 of the ancient code, for an unmarried girl who is being executed, if someone kisses her cheek, the execution will automatically end, she must marry the person who kissed her..."

  Old Hill stretched out his hand, shook it in front of Kevin's eyes, and said, "You don't have flowers in your eyes, do you? No one came on stage to kiss Lindsay just now!"

  Kevin smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!"

  Old Hill looked at the crowd and said, "Who is he? Stand up! Let me see who is so bold?"

  Kevin walked to the execution table and pointed to Lindsay's cheek. When everyone took a closer look, it turned out that Lindsay's cheek was stuck with a green leaf.

  Kevin picked up the leaf and said, "Just now, as the gavel was falling, I saw this leaf fall and stick to Miss Lindsay's cheek. You said that even God couldn't save her, but This leaf was sent by God, and God used it to tell us: Lindsay can't die!"

  Old Hill's nose was almost crooked, and he stomped his feet and shouted, "Nonsense! That's just an ordinary leaf, how could it be sent by God?"

  Kevin said unhurriedly: "Of course this is not an ordinary leaf. It is early summer, and it is the season for leaves to grow. Why do such green leaves fall for no reason? And just when the execution is about to be executed, It fell on the face of Miss Lindsay and happened to be stuck by her tears? There can only be one explanation for this - God was also moved by the love between Lindsay and Lardan! He didn't want to see this steadfast love end by a thick rope! As for you saying that you didn't see the leaves falling on Miss Lindsay's face, it's because your eyes have been staring at my gavel. Tell me, did you see it? "

  The crowd was silent for a while, and suddenly there was a deafening shout: "I see it, we see it!"

  Old Hill rolled his eyes and shouted unconvinced: "The code says that if someone kisses her cheek, she must marry the person who kisses her, but now it's just a leaf, how can a leaf count?"

  Kevin smiled, raised the code in his hand, and said, "Yes! According to the ancient code, Lindsay can only marry this big tree because the leaf kissed her. However, you don't know, there is also such a clause in this code: The owner has the right to freely dispose of his own property. This tree belongs to the Lardhan family, and what to do with the tree's wife is up to Lardhan!"

  Hearing this, Old Hill's face turned ashen all of a sudden. He covered his wound tightly with his hands and shouted, "Quick, take me to the doctor, my wound hurts badly!" Several subordinates hurriedly helped him away. A burst of laughter broke out from the crowd.

  Soon, the executioner untied the rope around Lindsay's neck, and several lads knocked open the door of Lardan's house, released Lardan, and sent him to Lindsay's side.

  Kevin walked up to the two of them with a smile and announced loudly: "Everyone be quiet, since God agrees with the marriage of this young couple, what are we waiting for? I announce: Lindsay and Lardan's wedding is now officially started!"

  The scene was full of joy. Raldan looked happy and whispered to Lindsay, "Even God has helped us like this, I will definitely treat you well for the rest of my life!"

  Lindsay pointed to Kevin and the pastor beside him, and said, "My dear, only I can see what happened best: when Old Hill threatened me, Judge Kevin secretly pulled from the branch behind him. A leaf, stuffed it into the pastor's hand, and whispered a word. When the pastor's prayer was almost over, Judge Kevin shouted that the gavel was lost, attracting everyone's attention to him. At that moment, the pastor winked at me and glued the leaf to my cheek. If you want to say the real God, it should be them!"

  The pastor smiled and said, "When Kevin stuffed the leaves into me, he only said one sentence, let me stick the leaves on your face. I didn't understand what he was going to do at the time, I didn't expect him to come up with such an idea!"

  Kevin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "At that time, I was almost blinded. Fortunately, Old Hill said'Even God can't save her ', which immediately made my eyes shine. If that's the case, then I have to let God give Lindsay a kiss!"
