Chapter 167: Eye
The morning sun has a refreshing taste, and Yunxi quietly savored the silence and magnificence of the sunlight shining through the stained glass and quietly sprinkling in the church. At this time, Zhang Cui had also followed her gaze to see Qiao Lao, and his face suddenly turned ugly. The young doctor sighed secretly, knowing that they must have met someone they did not want to meet, and prepared to leave with them as a precaution of embarrassment.
Who knows, Yunxi waved his hand: "It's okay, it's coming." "It doesn't make sense that she's making way for others. Besides, a person who is full of evil spirit and kills with his hands can have such a pious side, and she must also have a good understanding of what she says.
Zhang Cui glanced at her daughter with some anxiety, not knowing what she was going to do.
At this time, the liturgy of Mass officially began, and all the faithful stood up and began to chant in the church. Qiao Lao also stood up solemnly and began to join everyone. Yunxi looked away, gently pulled Zhang Cui's hand, and motioned for her not to make a sound.
At this time, the celebrant had already begun his speech, "May the mercy of the Father, the grace of Christ, and the gift of the Holy Spirit be with you." "May Heavenly Father and Christ grant you grace and peace." ……
The loving voice carried a faint peace, and the main priest's voice contained a rich foreign accent, and the Chinese spoken was a little awkward, so that people could hear what he was saying.
Yunxi could see clearly, the presiding priest standing at the highest place was clearly a blonde foreigner, and he didn't know why he would come here to preside over Mass.
The doctor next to him had closed his eyes slightly and began to recite the "confession"
"I confess to Almighty God and to all the faithful that I have sinned in thought, word and deed. My sin, my sin, my grave sin. For this reason, I beseech the Virgin Mary, the angels, the saints, and all of you faithful to pray for me to the Lord and our God. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yunxi's eyebrows raised slightly. Admit my faults in thinking, speaking, and acting?
Sure enough, looking forward, Qiao Lao, who bowed his head and meditated, also said this sentence in the same way. Yunxi smiled, this sentence was placed on Qiao Lao's body, which made her feel that it was the most joyful situation in the world.
The celebrating voice of the priest continued, and Yunxi's gaze slowly turned to hear him say quietly: "May God Almighty have mercy on us, forgive our sins, and give us eternal life." ”
Qiao Lao lowered his eyebrows, and gently followed all the believers in chanting, "Amen", and drew three crosses on his forehead, lips, and chest.
Yunxi chuckled, these three crosses indicate that the words of the Lord are imprinted in his mind, engraved in his heart, and often pronounced in his mouth, but unfortunately, someone's actions and beliefs are obviously completely out of sync.
As the Mass draws to a close, the celebrant stands solemnly in front of the crowd for the final rite of passage. When he said the words "Mass", everyone said "Thank God" in unison, and the solemnity that was deeply engraved on the faces of the believers slowly dissipated. The handsome attending doctor glanced back at Yunxi and Zhang Cui, "How did you feel about attending Mass for the first time?" ”
Zhang Cui was a little restless because of Qiao Lao, and she couldn't calm down, but the doctor in front of her was not only the attending doctor of her daughter, but also took great care of her when she was unwell, so she cheered up and smiled reluctantly: "Very good, impressive." ”
The Leng family is religious, so they have never participated in this kind of ceremony, and this is the first time they have ever participated in it. If it weren't for Qiao Lao's existence, Zhang Cui would still be extremely interested in this mass. It's just that now, I have no interest at all, and I can't wait to kick this person out of sight early.
Although her father-in-law has not taken any action until now because of the guilt of what happened back then, in her opinion, this person is completely a poisonous snake, and there is no good meat on his body.
And Qiao Lao also raised his gaze at this time and looked straight at Zhang Cui.
The look seemed to be quenched with poison, and once it was touched, it would make people's tarsal bones ache. The doctor was stunned for a moment, only to feel that this gaze was cold, with a murderous aura, which made people's hearts tremble.
Yunxi immediately pulled Zhang Cui back, blocked in front of her, and met Qiao Lao's gaze directly.
The believers who came and went gradually left together, and the whole church seemed crowded with people in an instant, and between people coming and going, Qiao Lao and her eyes did not move at all, as if they were standing there for eternity.
"Joe, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a strange question interrupted Qiao Lao.
He was slightly stunned, looked back at his side, as if the whole person suddenly trembled, the cruelty on his face was cleaned up, and he looked at the person with a pure "admiration": "Priest." ”
The priest had a smile on his face, like a ray of sunshine in the cold winter, and just looking at it made me feel warm to the bottom of my heart.
He waved his hand with a smile, followed Qiao Lao's gaze just now and looked not far away, and saw Leng Yunxi blocking in front of Zhang Cui, his eyes flashed slightly, "Who is that?" ”
Qiao Lao smiled coldly, but because he was half-hanging his eyes, the words he said were still not affected in the slightest, "A junior." ”
The priest nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at the doctor standing beside Yunxi: "Huh? It's not ......"
As he spoke, the young doctor came over with a smile: "Father, I didn't expect to see you here. ”
The priest was also surprised: "I didn't expect it either. ”
Yunxi let Zhang Cui stay where he was, and he did come over: "What didn't the priest think of?" ”
The blonde priest looked at Yunxi and said with a smile: "God is everywhere, and the last time I saw this believer, it should have been in England. ”
The doctor smiled slowly: "At that time, I was studying in England, and every time I went to Mass, you were also presiding. "I didn't expect that this priest would also come to country Z now.
"It can be seen that the world is big and big, but it is actually very small." Yunxi glanced at Qiao Lao with a smile, and saw that he looked like he was sitting on the Diaoyutai with his eyebrows down, his heart was cold, but his face was becoming more and more calm.
"Father, are you settling here because of a change of position?" Seeing that the crowd of people gradually dissipated, the doctor walked up to Zhang Cui with a smile, politely put on her coat, and then took the lead to walk outside the church.
On the green grass, there are already many citizens who have nothing to do in the morning with their children to walk and play, and the sound of laughter and laughter comes to the face, but it buffers a lot, and the inexplicable strange atmosphere when they get along with each other is eased.
Although the priest came to country Z for a short time, he also noticed a little strangeness, so he talked softly with the doctor about everything in England at the beginning, both of them had a kind of old gentlemanly demeanor, and walked head-on, gaining the attention of many girls, but Yunxi really didn't expect it.
Qiao Lao always walked behind, without making a sound, Zhang Cui's face gradually softened, but he kept looking at his phone, obviously not wanting to stay with this person.
Yunxi touched her hand soothingly, and heard the priest answering the doctor's question: "It's not settled, Father Zhang has been unwell recently, because of the transfer of my position, I will preside over Mass for him for a period of time, and when he is well, I still have to return to China." ”
"I see." The doctor smiled, and saw that Yunxi's gaze had moved away from Qiao Lao, knowing that she didn't know anything about Catholicism, so he changed the topic: "This gentleman seems to be a little blind, I haven't seen it when I was doing Mass before?" ”
Qiao Lao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "I didn't come to church much before. ”
The priest explained: "Joe was a faithful when he was abroad, but because of his health, he rarely appeared in crowded places. It was also a coincidence that I came to Mass this time. ”
The doctor smiled and turned his head to look at Yunxi, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. What a coincidence......
Walking through the green meadow, the crowd gradually decreased, and many people driving cars took their cars from the parking lot, Yunxi said: "It's not early, and if you don't go, you will be stuck in traffic." ”
Even the priest, who was an outsider, was helpless about the traffic in City B, and immediately nodded: "I want to leave early." Be careful on the way, if you have the chance, you will continue to attend Mass next time. ”
The doctor politely nodded and turned to pick up the car in the parking lot. Elder Qiao and the priest accompanied Yunxi and waited for him to drive over.
"Old Qiao, I haven't seen you for many days, but I'm rusty." Yunxi glanced at him coldly, and his eyebrows were full of depth.
Qiao Lao only glanced at her, raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically, and did not reply.
"Although you don't miss the 'old love', as a 'junior', I still have a generous gift to give you." Yunxi hooked his chin and smiled at Zhang Cui, who looked a little surprised.
Zhang Cui was a little foggy, but she was silent.
"Oh? Gift? Don't know what it is? A hint of danger crossed Qiao Lao's eyes, and he spoke quietly.
"It's delivered to your doorstep now, and I guess you'll be able to see it when you go back." Yunxi didn't answer, the doctor had already driven the car in front of her and Zhang Cui, and after she opened the car door and went up, she just nodded slightly to the priest and said goodbye politely.
The priest looked at her quietly, his expression slowly changed, and Qiao Lao was puzzled, but he saw that the priest was full of confusion and said, "Strange." ”
"What's wrong? Father? ”
"I always feel like I've seen this lady somewhere." He frowned, thinking carefully, but he could only recall a vague figure in his mind, but when he carefully compared the pair of ethereal eyes he had just seen, he felt plausible, as if it was not.
Qiao Lao's eyes sank, but he didn't say anything.
Since his last son was sent to a dead end by the Leng family, he has completely lost his faith. After settling abroad, by chance, I met this priest and gradually embraced Catholicism, so that I could slowly survive that dark and dark time.
Some time ago, I heard that he also came to City B, so I made an appointment to get together, but I didn't expect to meet Leng Yunxi today.
Thinking of the generous gift in her mouth, Qiao Lao's face suddenly calmed a little. actually has the ability to deliver things to his doorstep, he wants to say, is the future life terrifying? ……
