After a five-day trek without saying a word, we finally arrived in Chengdu. As soon as www.biquge.info I entered Chengdu, the master was confused, but said to me, "Eleven, let's go to the biggest church in the city." ”

"Church?" I repeated, "Master, you're talking about Taoism, right?" ”

Shi Zu shook his head and said, "Church." ”

When I was full of doubts, I took my ancestor to the largest Catholic church in Chengdu. Standing at the door, I asked with some hesitation, "Master, what are we doing in the church?" ”

"The bishop here is my friend." Shi Zu said lightly.

"Bishop? Friend? My jaw was about to drop, and I was surprised: "Master, how are you..."

"Questions?" Shi Zu said: "There is no rule in our door rules that you are not allowed to be friends with Catholics, right? ”

As he spoke, an old priest stepped out, supported by a young priest. As soon as he saw Shizu, he said excitedly: "It's been a long time, Zhang!" My old friend. ”

Shizu smiled: "John, are you okay?" ”

"Not good." The old priest, known as John, shook his head and said, "Maybe he will soon be called by God." ”

"I've come all the way here, can't I go in and have a cup of tea?" Shizu said with a smile.

"Hehe," John laughed, "go inside, you're ready." ”

… During the conversation, I learned that John is almost 90 years old this year and is Portuguese. When he was ten years old, he came to China with what he thought was a missionary. It was a time of warlord warfare. With John's horse team was robbed by bandits, Shizu came to the rescue. John was spared. Later, after another ten years, John was already an adult, came to Chengdu, and happened to meet his ancestor who returned to Qingcheng Mountain to carry out a mission. At that time, there was a plague in Chengdu, and the master took the master to give medicine everywhere, and met John, who also treated the sick. The two hit it off at first sight, talked happily with each other, and when they talked about the past, they knew that they were really ancients. After that, whenever he came to Sichuan, he would come to John and stay in this church for a few days.

"John, have you ever considered letting me give you a superdose when I die? You're still quite far away from the West this time, and if you don't go over, you might get lost. Shizu smiled.

John smiled and said, "Zhang, then do you want to think about being baptized and throwing yourself into the arms of dwelling?" ”

"Well, I've thought about a Western-style funeral when I die, and as for being baptized, it's hard to even take a shower now." Shizu said: "This time, the main thing is to discuss things with you. ”

"Hmm," John nodded, "You can stay as long as you want." This is probably the last time we will see each other. ”

Shi Zu nodded and said, "Naturally, I won't be polite, but there is still something you need to prepare for me." After speaking, Shi Zuyou handed John a piece of paper.

John took the paper and opened it to look at it, and then said curiously: "Zhang, the price of these medicinal materials is secondary, but it is quite difficult to find, and it will take some time." ”

"It's okay, I can wait." Shi Zu nodded and said, "You are a dignified archbishop of the Southwest Region, I believe you must have a way." ”

John handed the note to the young priest who had been serving him and whispered a few words. Then he said to Shizu: "No problem. You and this child have already arranged a place to live, you can go and rest first. ”

I was about to get up, but Shizu shook his head and said, "No, Eleven doesn't live here." He said he wanted to go out and have a look. After speaking, Shizu looked at me.

I nodded, and was about to pack my backpack. Shi Zu said again: "Don't clean up, just go out like this." Well, give you half a month off and walk around on your own. ”

"It's called a holiday?!" I smiled bitterly and said, "Master, are you driving me away?" ”

"Go ahead." Shi Zu waved his hand and said.

John was unimpressed, nodding and saying, "May the Lord bless you... My little friend. ”

Now, I have no choice but to go out for a walk. As soon as I stepped out of the church, I felt my stomach bulging. Sichuan is a place full of small food stalls, and after walking a short distance, you can smell the fragrance. I swallowed, resisting the urge to see. Start looking for small restaurants. My experience during this time has taught me that the easiest way to earn a meal is to find a small restaurant that attracts people. Although some small restaurants occasionally do things that deduct wages. However, at least the rice will still be eaten. Also, as long as you don't mind eating leftovers, you'll usually be full.

Half an hour later, I came to a small restaurant. I saw a sign on it that was recruiting people. I walked in, and the boss, a young man in his early twenties, was very strong, and when he saw me come in, he asked, "Guest, what do you want to eat?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, big brother, are you recruiting people here?" ”

The boss looked at me and said, "You're a high school student, right?" We're hiring waiters, and we have to work during the day. ”

I nodded and said, "I'm a high school student, but I'm on hiatus." Now I've traveled everywhere, and I don't have any money to pay for today...", my stomach rumbling again.

The boss laughed and said, "Well, okay." Anyway, it's past lunch time now, and I just want to make something for myself, so let's eat together? Eating and chatting? ”

When the meal was ready, I sat down at the table with the boss. I said, "Big brother, my name is Eleven, what about you?" ”

"Eleven? The boss smiled and said, "Your name is kind of interesting." I can't fight much more than you, so you can call me an army. Let's talk about it, if you don't study in a good high school, why do you have to run around outside? ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm not wandering, I'm traveling." ”

Dajun motioned for me to eat while talking, and then said, "If you want to travel, you should wait until the college entrance examination is over, right?" By the way, are you a freshman or sophomore in high school this year? ”

I replied, "Senior year..."

"Senior year of high school?" The army looked at me with a look of surprise on his face and said, "Your adults don't care about you?" ”

I thought about it, but I didn't know what to say, so I had to say: "Hehe, our family's tradition, we don't pay much attention to academic qualifications..."

Dajun nodded and said, "Oh, you are a rich second generation?" No, if it's a rich second generation, it won't come out without money, right? ”

I had no choice but to smile at the army's questions. Then he said, "Brother Dajun, let's talk about the job of being a waiter, shall we?" ”

When the army saw that I didn't want to say, he didn't ask any more. Nodding his head, he said, "Well, my little shop only serves breakfast and lunch, and it closes after three o'clock in the afternoon." So strictly speaking, you only have to work half a day. If you take care of the food, you will be given thirty a day. Regardless of the meal of forty a day. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Well, are you full?" ”

Dajun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's full." ”

"Then I'll only need twenty a day. It's enough to be full. I said, "But I'll be here for about 10 days at most." When I earn enough money to travel, I want to walk around. ”

"Okay" Dajun nodded and said: "Seeing that you are a good person, I will take care of your food and give you three hundred in ten days." Think of it as if I funded your travels! (To be continued.) )
