英语同人短篇小说：《食人者之女》（终）(3)

Word spread quickly through the small towns all the way to Beelzenia. The arm was now completely eaten and rumours were spreading. The people of Beelzenia never knew what really happened to her mother so everyone assumed it was Banica once everyone had heard that Conchita was back. Worst thing was that there was one rumour that it was herself that committed the crime so she made sure to stay in her household.
She knew it made her more suspicious looking but she couldn’t risk being caught. She was guilty. Guilty has hell. 
消息很快通过各个小镇散播到整个贝尔泽尼亚王国。那只胳膊现在完全被吃掉了，谣言也在散播。贝尔泽尼亚的人们从未真的知道她的母亲究竟发生了何事，所以每个人在听到康琪塔回来的时候都假设那是巴妮卡。最糟糕的有一段谣言就是她自己犯了那条罪，所以她确保自己待在家。她知道这样会让她看起来更加可疑但是她不能冒被抓的险。她有罪。有罪就有地狱。
Whatever rumours she did hear, she never found out about the man. Was he well? Dead? In limbo? Not only did she commit a sin, she might have killed someone. Saki made sure that there was no way in and no way out of the house.
无论她听到什么谣言，她都从未找到关于那个男人的。他好吗？死了？？她不但犯了罪，而且可能还杀了人。萨基确信自己根本没有办法，也没有办法从这栋房子出去。
