Chapter 9: Rongcheng
"Melon seeds, ham, mineral water! This traveler, close your feet! With the sound of the food truck staff shouting, and the sound of the cart squeaking and twisting, Han Che woke up, raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

The dog and Xiaohua next to him had already woken up, where they were smiling and not knowing what they were discussing, pointing out the window, Han Che vaguely remembered that he didn't fall asleep yesterday until very late, and the eastern sky was white, so he fell asleep in a daze.
"Xiao Che woke up? Hurry up and wash your face! Must have woken up hungry, right? But you can eat it after washing! The dog next to him was holding half a biscuit in his hand and was about to put it in his mouth, when he saw that Han Che was awake, he laughed and teased Han Che.
"Cut~" Han Che cut it, and quickly snatched the biscuit from the dog's hand, and then stuffed it into his mouth, and walked towards the bathroom while chewing, leaving only the dog who laughed and scolded behind, saying that he was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
After a simple wash, he came back to the seat, and now there are still boxed lunches at this point, but Han Che is reluctant to eat a boxed lunch for 20 yuan, so he took out the things he brought from home yesterday to eat, including ham sausages, boiled eggs, and biscuits, ate some, and drank some water.
The three bored travelers took out the poker and began to fight the landlord, but they always felt that they were not quite right to play on the train, and they were not very happy, so they played for an hour, and the three of them stopped playing, and began to chat.
The train didn't know where it went, and after a pause, the seat on the opposite side was empty, and a man came up, a less than the same person, who seemed to be a missionary?
The car started again, and Han Che pretended to casually observe the person opposite, a foreigner, maybe European, maybe American, but that's not the point, he looked like he was in his forties, very bald, and the only ring of hair was gray.
His face was very peaceful, kind-hearted, and he looked like a good man, wearing a black robe, with a silver cross hanging on his chest, and his bag beside him, a black cloth bag, the kind that could be carried on his shoulder, and a cross was also embroidered on it, and he was always holding a book of thirty-two carat size, more than an inch thick, and beautifully bound, and Han Che glanced at it again, it was the Bible.
Just when Han Che glanced at him, he didn't expect this missionary to be observing him, the two of them actually looked at each other, and then both of them were stunned for a moment, and then Han Che laughed embarrassedly twice, and said in English: "Hello" and stretched out his hand by the way.
This foreigner was also very interesting, and he also laughed twice, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Han Che seriously, and said, "Hello! May God bless you! This sentence is Chinese, and it is standard Chinese.
At this time, the dog and Xiaohua who were talking next to him also turned their heads, and Han Che felt a little embarrassed in the atmosphere, so he said with a dry smile: "I saw that the book you were holding was in Chinese, so I knew that you should be able to speak Chinese." ”
The foreigner nodded, looked out the window and said, "Yes, I have been in this country for more than twenty years. ”
When Han Che heard this foreigner say that he had been coming to Huaxia for more than 20 years, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it, then you're here?" What shall I call you? ”
The foreigner smiled and said, "You can call me Father Gabriel, or you can call me Gabriel directly." I came here to preach, but I fell in love with it and never went back. ”
"Oh~" Han Che replied twice, but there was nothing more to say, so he fell silent, and the priest sat there, holding a Bible in his hand, his lips moving slightly, as if he was reciting something.
The end of this train is Rongcheng, it will not arrive until three o'clock in the afternoon, the time passed little by little, and at noon, Han Che was not too hungry to eat, and the missionary himself brought biscuits, ate a few pieces, drank some water, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
At about one o'clock, Han Che was bored looking at his phone there, and suddenly the priest opposite opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, Han Che seemed to feel something, and subconsciously looked up at the god father.
"Do you believe in God?" Father Gabriel suddenly asked, Han Che was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, I only believe in myself, my ancestors, and I don't believe in God." After speaking, he smiled and said, "You have found the wrong person to preach to me!" ”
Father Gabriel was not annoyed when he heard what Han Che said, he still smiled, only to see him turn over the book in his hand and gently put it in front of Han Che, Han Che was stunned for a moment, and the two words of the title of the book were facing him.
"What are you?" Han Che waved and asked, Father Gabriel smiled and said, "Our acquaintance is fate, I will give you a book, there is no other meaning, you can read it in your spare time." After saying that, he stood up, and then said, "I have arrived, may God bless you!" As soon as the words fell, the train had stopped steadily on the tracks, and the voice of the station was sounded, and there were many people who got off the train, and the Gabriel soon disappeared.
Han Che looked at the book in front of him and smiled bitterly, what is going on?
Soon, the train moved again, Han Che's eyes were still on the book, he couldn't see out the window, Gabriel and another middle-aged Chinese man in almost the same clothes stood there, as if talking something, looking at the train in the distance.
There are still two hours to go! The bored Han Che looked at the book in front of him and thought about it, there shouldn't be any problem, right? Is it true that all missionaries now send books? That's a bit of a big price, isn't it? So he picked up the book and looked through it.
After turning a few pages, Han Che felt wrong, first of all, the book was very beautifully bound, and the book cover was even leather, and then there were the pages, which could be seen, this book was often flipped through, and the time was not short, although the original owner also cherished it, but it still looked a little long. There are even dense notes on it, both in Chinese and English, but they are all very neatly written, and there is no clutter at a glance.
What does this mean exactly? Han Che was a little puzzled in his heart. It can be seen that this book has been with Gabriel for a long, long time, and it is very precious to him, but why did he give it to himself? Why? What is there about you that deserves to be given a precious book? Han Che never believed in love and hate for no reason, so why?
But there was no time for Han Che to figure this out, the speed of the train slowed down, and Rongcheng arrived!
Han Che stuffed the book directly into his bag, and then got off the train with the dog and Xiaohua along the people, and as soon as he got off the train, a heat wave came to his face.
Rongcheng, I'm coming! Han Che said softly.
