Chapter 653: Supper by the Lake
The autumn water of Bihu Lake is smokeless at night, and the long wind sends autumn geese for thousands of miles.
The Qiang tube is full of frost, and the new song is gorgeous.
Charles, who was cooking supper, was listening to the melodious sound of the flute, and Lucia was sitting on a rock by the lake playing a recorder made of two bamboo pipes side by side.
The sound of the flute is ethereal, relaxing the spirit of the tense day.
Charles had heard this tune before, and Mama St. Angel's bishop in their church would play the violin in his spare time, and that was one of them.
In addition to the magnificent chants, there are also different types of religious music in the temples, as well as songs that tell various deeds and praise the saints, and St. Angel has many of her own "character songs".
Now Lucia is playing the song that is the ending of an opera.
This opera tells the story of a man who did not believe in God while working in the fields, was taken by a passing army to work as a porter, then captured, and finally sold as a slave to a distant land.
Thinking of his distant parents and pregnant wife, he prayed to the god of light to return home, and the god of light answered his prayer.
Under the gift and guidance of the god of light, the male protagonist cured the slave owner's son's illness and was freed, and then set out on his way home.
In the end, with the help of the god of light, with the assistance of a fat man and other friends with infinite strength, the male protagonist finally returned to his hometown after a 20-year absence, and reunited with his family who had been waiting for his return.
This song depicts the final situation when the male protagonist returns home to spend a comfortable life with his family.
Charles saw the play in the church of St. Angel's grandmother, and he later talked about it with his comrades over dinner and chatting at the front.
Churchill, who was just sitting across from him, said: "You say he, I know, that fat man is actually me, and he happened to meet me and my wife when he was chased by wolves." โ
"Then we and a few friends sent him back, and when he came home, his wife had already remarried, and finally he married the daughter of his wife and his wife's step-husband. โ
Charles: โ (?ะด?lll)???
Churchill continued to eat as he spoke, "But it is true that he was gifted by the God of Light, and at last he became bishop of their region. โ
Because he and his ex-wife had a son, his children almost got into a fight when the family property was divided. โ
At that time, Charles was confused, it was like he had just finished watching a popular drama, and then an old Balu said to him that people like the male protagonist would definitely not live for four or nine years if they were shot early.
For the sake of Charles's own life, he will not take the initiative to say these things.
When Genaro and Deborah returned from feeding the horses fodder and water, Charles scooped the oatmeal porridge with minced meat from the pot into the bowls.
They had been away from the city for some time, and before leaving, Genaro had asked for a heavy four-wheeled carriage from a military convoy, an old horse ready to retire, and some other supplies.
Seeing that the supper was ready, Genaro beckoned Lucia to come and eat with him.
"Thank you. Rucia took the supper from Charles, and thanked him politely.
Rukia is sixteen years old, the same age as Charles' sister Mira. She had long, burgundy hair, was of medium height, and was slightly emaciated, but she still had a very good figure.
She didn't go to the Bright Seminary to study, but chose to improve herself during her travels, but this time she happened to meet this ** in Onna City.
Rukia looked at a large bowl of oatmeal in her hand, and then said to Deborah, who was sitting next to her, "I can't eat so much, so I'll share a little with you." โ
"Don't!" Charles, who was sitting across the campfire, hurriedly spoke up to stop her, "You haven't eaten much these days, you should eat more." โ
After a few days of contact, Charles found that Rukia's meal was a bit too small, and Deborah ate more than her.
Rukia said to Charles, "Thank you for your kindness, I just need food just enough to fill my stomach." โ
Charles frowned and asked, "Are you an ascetic?"
Rukia replied, "Yes." โ
Charles disagreed, ascetics have been around since ancient times, and they strictly follow the creed of "not enjoying" to walk the world and spread the grace of the gods, and everything is based on food, clothing, shelter and transportation to achieve a minimum of survival.
It's just that such ascetics are quite controversial in the temples, because the gods don't have such instructions, so some people think that the ascetics' actions are superficial and so on.
Charles shook his head and said to Lucia: "Grandma St. Angel said, 'If you don't eat actively, you have problems with your thoughts,' and walking outside without eating well will make people weak and weak, and then it will delay the spread of the gospel." โ
Rukia looked at Charles a little displeased and said, "Don't talk nonsense. โ
Grandma St. Angel was in high standing among young clergy like Rucia, and it was normal for Charles to be beaten if he arranged Mama.
Charles shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, my grandmother and I are neighbors, this is what she told me." โ
"When I was four years old, I had a serious illness and stayed with my grandmother for a while. I didn't want to eat when I was sick, and then my grandmother told me. โ
"Mama, she usually eats and drinks well, and she is never polite when she comes to my house. โ
Charles didn't talk nonsense, every time Grandma St. Angel came to his house for dinner, except for the wine, everything else was delicious.
Rucia retorted, "Grandma Saint-Angel eats boiled meat......
Charles smiled and said, "That's because you don't know what kind of sauce she dipped in." โ
Rucia didn't want to speak, so she divided half of the oatmeal in the bowl and gave it to Deborah, and after eating it herself, she ran aside to pray before going to bed.
Charles didn't care, a nun like Rucia couldn't be changed in a few words, and she might have put Charles in the camp of villains who shook her faith.
Anyway, Charles didn't care about her thoughts, she was from Genaro's side, and if there was a problem in the future, Gnarro would deal with it.
It's just that Genaro is a little embarrassed, Lukia was pulled into the team by him, but Lukia has an estrangement from Charles, the actual leader of this team, so it will be difficult for him to do it.
Charles saw Genaro's embarrassment and said, "Don't worry, Rukia and I won't have a conflict over such a thing." โ
Genaro breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Charles's words.
After a few people had eaten a supper, Deborah took a bowl and spoon to the lake and washed up.
"Poof!"
Deborah, who slipped under her feet, accidentally fell into the lake.
