Chapter 11 The Woman Who Prayed Sincerely
At the door of the courthouse, Rachel held the verdict in her hand, and watched her husband leave without looking back with a child in her arms. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Yan's kind of thing probably has nothing to do with who is right and who is wrong between the two, it can only be said that God played a big joke with them.
"Hey, Rachel, let's go, I think you need to relax." Zhao Yan said with a greeting.
Rachel cleaned up her mood slightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Zhao, because I made your vacation so bad." ”
Zhao Yan grabbed her shoulder and said, "Don't be stupid, who said our holiday would be bad?" It's just a new beginning. Lao Zhao was conscientious in enlightening Rachel, but in fact, he didn't have too many ideas, it was completely a kind of pity after the resonance of the same feeling.
The two drove to the heart of Munich, the Marienplatz. In the center of the square stands a huge stone pillar, at the top of which is a golden statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Holy Child on the feet of the half-moon.
This stone pillar has great symbolic and historical significance in Munich, when the Black Death spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, when the inhabitants of Munich prayed for Mary's protection, which is said to be quite effective. The square that was called Schrannen at the time was renamed the current Marien Square, which was a sign of gratitude to the Virgin Mary.
Although there were some superstitious colors, the scientific form consciousness of that era had not yet been formed, and theological concepts were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the whole of Europe was ruled by the Holy See.
It's hard to pinpoint the exact reason, but the statue embodies the Munich people's yearning for beauty, as the base of the pillar surrounds four black statues of boy angels, symbolizing war, the Black Death, famine and heresy.
Zhao Yan pointed to the tall stone pillar and said to Rachel, "I don't think Our Lady will refuse the prayer of a lady as beautiful as an angel. ”
Rachel didn't expect Zhao Yan to bring her here, she still remembers that she prayed here when she was very young, and almost every year, she would have the opportunity to pass by Marian Square a few times, so she stopped and prayed sincerely, she is a believer in Christianity.
"Thank you, Zhao." Rachel looked at him with appreciative eyes, and the latter smiled and nodded at her.
People come and go under the stone pillars, and tourists from all over the world stop under this statue, more concerned about the history of this statue and the story behind the history, but the significance of the statue itself is ignored by many people.
God, the meaning of existence, is probably a kind of beautiful yearning. God represents omnipotence, and there is a time when man is exhausted. God came into being in man's imagination, and man's desire to get God's help is actually a kind of psychological suggestion and spiritual sustenance.
Therefore, the help of a belief is sometimes huge, at least people with faith will not enter into a psychological dilemma, so that they can struggle against the dilemma in reality.
And Zhao Yan's belief is the native Taoism in China, influenced by his grandfather at that time, he has had faith since he was a child, and sometimes this seemingly ethereal thing has a great impact on people. Most of today's people are self-conscious, weak in mind, lack the courage to fight in the face of difficulties, and are accustomed to compromise and eventually fall victim to insignificant in the torrent of the times.
In the absence of faith, morality can only be established by a rigid and rigid education model, limited by harsh and strict laws, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness. (In the author's words, I feel that faith can indeed affect people's lives, and many of the author's thoughts are influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, and some things can indeed make the heart settle down.) )
After talking in vain, Zhao Yan pulled his thoughts back to his body, but saw a rather beautiful scene. In the endless crowd, a woman stood quietly under the stone pillar, holding her hands against the tip of her tall nose, praying sincerely for the beautiful and sincere wishes in her heart. Under the sun, the body that could have raised any man's evil desires seemed to have a holy halo, and she was so noble at the moment.
Standing in the midst of the hustle and bustle, a woman praying and vows, and a statue of the Holy Virgin, combined into an eternal scene.
It was a long time before Rachel opened her eyes, her eyes no longer dimmed, she seemed to have received some revelation from the Virgin, and at that moment she seemed to have renewed her life. People who are spiritually nourished will radiate a kind of vitality from the inside out.
Looking back, the man was holding a camera, smiled gently at her, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Rachel, you are so beautiful, I can't help but want to record it with the camera." ”
Perhaps God has brought new hope to her, but the moment Rachel showed her face, she had a charm that charmed all beings.
"Zhao, you secretly photographed me!" She began to "crusade" against Lao Zhao like a girl. Zhao Yan was a little sneering, and defended himself strongly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are too beautiful, would I have filmed?" ”
"Hmph, then blame me for being too beautiful?" He laughed to himself as he spoke.
"That's right! It's all because you're so beautiful, so beautiful that people want to sin. Zhao Yan couldn't help but tell the truth, and got Rachel's "hygienic eyes" full of amorous feelings.
There seems to be something different between the two of them, and the person concerned seems to know nothing about it.
Rachel, who was in a happy mood, seemed to have some interest, and pulled Zhao Yan to the traditional food market not far from Marianne Square, probably like a domestic vegetable market.
The former was quite interested in selecting various ingredients, and poor Lao Zhao was reduced to a coolie, but he still happily followed Rachel to the market.
When the two of them were relaxing and enjoying the fun all the way, Zhao Yan seemed to faintly hear a mournful whimper, so he couldn't help but follow the sound and walked over.
I saw that under a shelf, a poor little guy seemed to be stuck in the cargo and it was difficult to get out. It was a puppy with some dirt on its body, and it looked like a stray dog. The young fellow looked at him with watery eyes, and the latter was amused by the little one's eyes, and if he did, he would give it a hand.
Removing the goods that were pressed on the little guy, the little guy staggered to his feet, shook the black hair on his body, and wagged his tail and yelled at Zhao Yan twice, as if to thank him.
The little one appears to be a young German black-backed, with a slight hint of adult black-backed hair, except for a little earthy yellow hair on his feet.
The German blackback is the traditional German shepherd dog, also known as the German wolfdog, which is a large dog, belonging to the family Canidae, and the gray wolf species. It is distributed all over the world and is widely used as military and police dogs.
China also has a branch of the German blackback, the so-called Kunming dog, commonly known as the "wolf dog".
Most of the Chinese blackbacks are not purebred German blackbacks, but are crossbred with native dogs. Because there is not much difference in appearance, the name "Chinese black back, German black back" often appears, in fact, there is a big difference between the two.
The little guy seemed to have been pressed for a lot of time, and he walked a little unsteadily, and he came to Lao Zhao's feet slowly, and he was not afraid, but on the contrary, he rubbed his trouser leg with his head, and his cute appearance was quite pleasing.
