Chapter 25: The Lord is with me

"Hehe, Dunhill's pipes have the classic white dot logo on them, and those who know them are easy to recognize. Moreover, Dunhill pipes are used and collected by a large number of people all over the world. If I'm not mistaken, this pipe in Warden Law's hand is not only a Dunhill brand, but also made from the precious 'dead roots'. ”

Chen Donghui smiled slightly and said humbly.

When he said this, Chen Donghui began to be very curious in his heart, who was he in his previous life, and how could he have so many messy but fragmented memories!

"Do you know what the 'dead root' is?" Luo Zhongwen asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hehe, the so-called dead root is actually the root nodules that remain in the ground after the natural death of heather, which is used to make pipes, which is an excellent material. This pipe in Warden Luo's hand has a beautiful flame pattern, and it is definitely very valuable!" Chen Donghui said very confidently.

Luo Zhongwen glanced at his pipe and said admiringly, "You are right. This pipe is indeed made from the finest heather, which is what you call a dead root. As for the price, it is definitely not something that the average person can afford. ”

Chen Donghui smiled, but his mind was thinking quickly about what to do next.

Originally, his plan was to play tennis a few more times, get closer to Luo Zhongwen, and then consider the next step. But now that Chen Donghui has taken a risk, exposing more abilities that do not match his identity, it has aroused Luo Zhongwen's strong curiosity, and striking while the iron is hot will definitely receive better results.

However, how do you explain this ability?

Can't tell Luo Zhongwen that he is a soul reborn?

If you say this kind of thing, no one will believe it, and you may even think of him as a psychopath.

Moreover, this is Chen Donghui's own hole card. He had already thought about it, and he could only know about this matter by himself, and he would not reveal half a word to anyone.

Suddenly, he saw the crucifix of Jesus Christ on the wall. Slightly stunned, a plan suddenly came to his mind.

"Chen Donghui, who are you? Judging from your performance today, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Just before you came in, I flipped through your files. Your identity experience is completely inconsistent with your performance today, how can you explain it?" Luo Zhongwen leaned back in his chair, and his tone was not only surprised, but also a little more solemn.

Chen Donghui didn't answer directly, but smiled slightly and asked, "Prison Chief Luo believes in Christianity?"

"Not bad. Luo Zhongwen replied very briskly, and was not angry because Chen Donghui did not answer the question directly.

"Can you tell me a story?" asked Chen Donghui.

Luo Zhongwen took a puff of his pipe, nodded and said, "Yes, give you ten minutes." I hope you don't waste my time. ”

Chen Donghui thought about it for a while, and then made it up, "I used to have a neighbor who was a lame uncle and a devout Christian. I often went to his place, and he gave me sermons in the hope that I would also be Christian. But I was a kid and just listened to stories and didn't really believe in Jesus. Moreover, I also mingled with a group of social gangsters every day, fighting, drinking, gambling and cards, but I didn't do serious things. ”

"Then I had an accident, and in the courtroom, when I heard the judge sentence me, suddenly my eyes went dark, and I felt like time and space had been reversed, and Jesus Christ appeared in my heart at that moment. I suddenly had an epiphany, the old me was dead, the new me was born again, and Christ was alive in my body. ”

Luo Zhongwen listened quietly, didn't say a word, and even forgot to smoke his pipe.

After about two minutes, Luo Zhongwen suddenly laughed, and his body trembled.

"Prison Chief Luo, don't you believe it?" Chen Donghui still had that unmoving expression, calm as a mountain.

"Chen Donghui, do you think I am a three-year-old child?tell me such a children's story?" Luo Zhongwen's tone became very cold.

"Hehe, Warden Luo, it's normal that you don't believe it. If it hadn't really happened to me, I wouldn't have believed anything like this. But Jesus did save me and taught me many things that I would not have been able to do. Otherwise, how could I possibly play tennis? How would I know about Dunhill's dead pipe?"

Luo Zhongwen was silent for a moment and said, "You know how to play tennis and know Dunhill's pipes, although it is very unexpected to me, but it doesn't mean anything." I've read your file, you went to junior high school, perhaps, you read Dunhill's introduction in some magazine, and you happen to be a relative of a certain college student at Donggang University, and often follow him to play tennis at Dongjiang University, it's also possible. ”

"Hehe, Warden Luo is really thoughtful. However, I can attest that I did have an epiphany guided by Jesus. Chen Donghui said confidently.

"Okay, then you can prove it to me. ”

Chen Donghui looked around at the office and said, "The decoration style of Warden Luo's office is a typical British style, and he definitely likes British culture. So Warden Luo should also be interested in League One, right?"

"Yes, I love football. When I was studying in the UK, I was at the University of Manchester, Manchester United, my home team. ”

Luo Zhongwen was not surprised that Chen Donghui knew about the League One, at a time when football had taken the world by storm and many Chinese fans would be paying attention to the Europa League.

"Hehe, then Warden Luo must know that in this year's FA Cup final, Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 and won the first title of the Ferguson era. ”

Chen Donghui remembers this because this title is perhaps the most important title for Manchester United in the Ferguson era. If the FA Cup is not won, then Manchester United will be empty this season, and Ferguson will be ironclad, and there will be no Manchester United legend created by Ferguson.

Although Chen Donghui does not remember the exact time of the FA Cup final, he generally remembers that it was in May, and it should have been played by now.

Luo Zhongwen was really shocked!

Because today is exactly 19 May 1990, and Manchester United beat Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup on 17 May 1990, which is two days ago!

Two days ago, Chen Donghui was already in prison.

Luo Zhongwen is sure that Chen Donghui has absolutely no way to learn the result of a football match in England in prison!

So, Chen Donghui was really saved by Jesus, and got an epiphany, and has many incredible abilities?

Although Luo Zhongwen believes in Christianity, this kind of thing that is beyond the scope of his knowledge and can explain still makes him unacceptable for a while.

But the miracle on Chen Donghui was clearly presented in front of his eyes!

Chen Donghui lit a cigarette and slowly tasted the mellow aroma of authentic British tobacco.

He knew that Luo Zhongwen needed to be given some time to slowly digest these incredible things.

Chen Donghui believes that Luo Zhongwen hopes that at least eighty percent will believe every word he says. Because Luo Zhongwen is not only a Christian, but also a sentimental person, otherwise, he would not have given up the good future of the United States and was willing to come to China to be a prison warden.

Luo Zhongwen smoked his pipe at once, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any signs.

After about five minutes, Luo Zhongwen finally sighed lightly and said: "Although Ferguson has not led the team very well, this FA Cup championship is enough to ensure that he has another chance for one season." Personally, I think Ferguson is a good coach. ”

Chen Donghui smiled, although Luo Zhongwen did not have a clear answer of believing it or not, but his words had already vaguely indicated that he believed Chen Donghui.

"I agree with you, Warden Law. Alex Ferguson is indeed a good coach and next season he will lead Manchester United to their first European title. In addition, I also know that two years later, in 1992, the League One will be converted into the Premier League, and Ferguson's Manchester United will win the first Premier League title, and then it will usher in an era of his own, and Ferguson will become a legend of Manchester United. Chen Donghui said, with undisguised excitement in his tone.

"I hope so. Luo Zhongwen said.

"Prison Commander Luo, I have one more thing. Chen Donghui took the opportunity to say.

The corners of Luo Zhongwen's mouth moved, and there was an expression on his face that I already knew: "Just say something about it." I know you're not talking to me all this just to tell me that Ferguson is a good coach. ”

"Prison Commander Luo, I confess that my charges are false. I came in on my own initiative, and now that I have realized that I don't want to be wrong again, I hope that Prison Director Luo can help me remand the case to the court for retrial. In addition, until the results of the retrial come out, I hope that Warden Luo will help me keep anything I do secret. ”

Luo Zhongwen looked at Chen Donghui with interest, and was silent for dozens of seconds before he said, "Chen Donghui...... You're really the weirdest person I've ever met. Well, I'll think about your business. However, you must also know how difficult it is for a convict who has already been sentenced to return to the court for retrial. ”

"Prison Commander Luo, this can be regarded as a meritorious performance. Moreover, I believe that everything is man-made, hehe. ”

"You go back first, I'll let you know if there's news. Also, you don't have to play tennis with me these days. Jesus lives in you, and I dare not play tennis with my Lord. Luo Zhongwen said half-teasingly, half-jokingly.

"The Lord is with you and me, Amen. ”

Chen Donghui stood up and made up a sentence that he had the impression that it should be a common saying for Christians.

"Walk slowly. ”

"Goodbye, Warden Law. ”

Luo Zhongwen didn't stand up, and after seeing Chen Donghui leave the office, he immediately leaned back on the chair and fell into a state of contemplation.

Officer Wang pushed the door open and walked in and asked, "Prison Chief Luo, I'll take Chen Donghui back now." Do you need him to play tennis tomorrow morning?"

"Tennis will not be played in the past two days, you can bring me the detailed file of Chen Donghui, the more detailed the better. Luo Zhongwen said.

Officer Wang was a little surprised by Luo Zhongwen's request, but still said, "Yes, Prison Chief Luo, I'll send it as soon as possible." ”

"In addition, pay more attention to Chen Donghui, but don't be embarrassed for him. He was given less work and a certain amount of freedom. If he wants to see me, he doesn't have to go through all those red tapes and reports to me. Luo Zhongwen rubbed his temples and commanded again.

Officer Wang became more and more suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask Luo Zhongwen, and responded, "Yes, Prison Chief Luo." ”

"Alright, you go out. Tell the two of them to stand guard at the door, and that no one is allowed to come in without my orders. ”

"Yes, Warden Law. ”

Seeing that Luo Zhongwen didn't mean to speak again, Officer Wang gently retreated.
