villagers an envelope with important information inside. The shop owner tells Alfredo that they
only have one smithy in town, who lives in a ruined forge in the woods near the village.

how to get to the smithy, and the shop owner gives instructions on how to get to the forge.

spikes attached to the gates. Upon peeking in, he finds makeshift crosses standing steadily in what
seems to be a graveyard. He turns around and goes back to the village. Meanwhile,

Benito takes out the envelope he stole from Alfredo. The shop owner is shocked to find
his son has stolen something important. Another mother makes her way to the chapel,
and asks the shop owner's son about her adoptive daughter, Usue, and where she might be. But Benito
has no idea where the little girl is. Subsequently, Usue is frolicking in the woods,
playing with her doll and some other toys. A snake crawls to where she is. The little girl grabs it,
inviting the snake to play with her. She gets startled when the snake gets
decapitated. Benito and another boy go up to her, boasting about killing Usue's reptile friend
and saving her. Then the boys start teasing her about her mother, who hung herself in the past.

her doll away. Usue punches Benito, who gets angry, breaking her doll in half, and throwing
the head into the Blacksmith's property. When the boys leave, they come across the

concluding for themselves that the Blacksmith might have the gold.

gate is chained, so the villagers destroy it and force themselves inside the property,

threatening the Blacksmith to come out, or they'll enter by force. As the door opens,

Blacksmith's belt, so he can be free. Outside, the Blacksmith checks his yard,
and finds the little girl's doll. He grabs it and goes back inside his forge. Usue
hides from the Blacksmith, and witnesses his anger towards the little boy.

Blacksmith's keys while he's asleep. Usue manages to steal the keys from the
sleeping Blacksmith. She runs back to the cage, and releases the little boy who then
hurriedly escapes, and grabs a pitchfork that resembles the devil's fork.
