Chapter 238: Friday Afternoon
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with its Holy Sepulchre, is the place where Jesus was killed, buried, and resurrected, and is one of the famous tourist attractions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But everyone was so anxious that they didn't have time to see the Holy Sepulchre, the stairs, and hurried out.
Out of the church, a tour group happened to pass by, and the tour guide began to explain to the tourists by the red marble at the door: "It says that Jesus was crucified at 9 o'clock on Friday morning, and by noon it was completely dark, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus died after shouting God loudly." This is the people who believe that Jesus is really the Son of the Lord, the Messiah who came to save them. It's a coincidence that today is Friday, and it happens to be the time of Jesus' crucifixion, so let's feel the crucifixion of Jesus at that time... ”
Hoffman stopped abruptly and listened to the guide's explanation. Cheng Qianxun, who was following behind, panted slightly, and looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's Friday... Hoffman's words caused the rest of his teammates to stop and turn back.
"What happened on Friday?" Regel is also weird.
Hoffman looked around and explained: "Jews worship every Friday, and the Sabbath is from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday, and if it is a weekend, Jews generally have Friday and Saturday off and Sunday at work. And Professor Gross is dressed entirely in Jewish tradition, and it's three o'clock in the afternoon, so ... ”
Immediately, half of these elites with superior brains suddenly realized, and almost at the same time, they said: "He's not in college!" ”
But where is it if you are not in college? At home, on the way to church...
Rudolph thought for a moment and said, "Find me a phone!" ”
Where is the cell phone here, Snead and Nair went to the tour group at the entrance of the church, one accosted and the other started, and when they returned, Nair shoved a mobile phone into Rudolph's hand.
Rudolph dialed 911 directly: "Hey, I'm an expert in the United States who was invited to a meeting, and I'm separated from my colleagues, may I ask for the phone number of Hebrew University... ”
I really admired Rudolph, I didn't need paper or pen, I just wrote down the number, and then dialed the phone number from the Hebrew University: "Hello, I'm an expert in the United States, looking for Abraham. Professor Gross, please transfer the call to him... Ok thanks. ”
Everyone's hearts were raised, is Professor Gross still in college? If that's the case, the only way to get to college is to rush to college as soon as possible.
At this point, the call should have been transferred, and Rudolph continued: "I'm looking for Professor Gross... Oh, isn't he there? Please ask him where he lives at home... Oh, I'm from the Nobel Prize Committee, and I'm looking for Professor Gross, and since he's not there, I'm going to send him the notice directly... Oh, give me his number, okay, please say. ”
Then Rudolph dialed the phone again, and this time his identity changed again, and he really bragged about not playing a draft: "Cousin Gross, it's me!" Your distant cousin, yes, hasn't been in touch for a long time. I happened to be passing by today, or how about we meet in the evening and go to church? I'll treat you to dinner when it's over... Oh? You're going to go, so go ahead. By the way, which church do you go to? Okay, it's decided. ”
Rudolph pressed the stop button and said calmly with a slight smugness: "New District Synagogue!" ”
"Well done!" Everyone was immediately happy, as long as people went to church, then they might find Professor Gross before Soros.
"My phone!" At this time, someone screamed and realized that the phone was lost.
"It's about somewhere, why don't you give a call?" Someone suggested
Rudolph was extremely fast, and at the speed of disassembling the gun, he "snapped" to remove the back cover of the phone, and with a hard knock, the battery knocked out.
He stuffed it all into his sweatpants pocket: "Let's go!" ”
The 400,000 people in the new district of West Jerusalem are mostly Jewish, and the buildings here are not as old as the old city, but with small bungalows and a few twenty or thirty-story buildings.
Two taxis pulled up in front of a yellowish pink synagogue in the new district, with four tall men coming down from the front and five coming down from the back.
Two taxis, crammed with nine people. Although the driver behind him originally did not agree, Cheng Qianxun took out a $100 bill and stuffed it, and he agreed to everything.
A taxi in front, Gordon also gave a hundred, and whispered: "Park next to it, we will use it when we come out." Much more than that! ”
Rudolph added: "Find a way to get another taxi, we won't give less money." ”
I took $20,000 at the ATM, which was enough for the time being, and if I wanted to get things done, I had to be a little more generous. But don't go too far, or you'll worry about whether they're going to do something in the church, say plant a bomb and run away.
Money can make ghosts grind, and they pretend to be curious travelers, so the driver immediately nods yes, and two taxis stop next to it. Waiting for this group of rich men to come out again.
Alright, let's go inside.
Before entering, he was stopped by a man wearing a small black felt hat on the ground floor. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, that is, ordinary clothes, and said politely: "I'm sorry, women can't go in." ”
Judaism is also patriarchal? Cheng Qianxun pressed his throat, thick his throat, and glared: "Where am I a woman?" ”
"yes, why is my cousin a woman?" Rudolph couldn't help but laugh, very seriously, and then said to Cheng Qianxun matter-of-factly: "I told you a long time ago to stop shaving, and you still have some long hair." No wonder others are treating you as a woman! ”
Rudolph and Cheng Qianxun are not of the same race, but they are about the same height and wear the same sportswear. The man looked at Cheng Qianxun suspiciously a few times, and finally said after turning Cheng Qianxun's flat chest a few times: "This is a synagogue, please Islam avoid." The second floor is about to be prayed, so please don't disturb them when you visit, and don't laugh or make noise. ”
Everyone immediately nodded, secretly laughing in their hearts.
Cheng Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't wear underwear stuffed with thick sponges, and he passed the test in a fool's way. I wonder if Judaism would be as crazy as Islam when she found out that she was a woman, and stoned her to death.
After walking in, Rudolph saw a black top hat next to him, so he coiled Cheng Qianxun's hair and stuffed it all in the hat.
Jews do love books, and even a five-story bookshelf with books piled up at the turn on the second floor.
Entering the second floor, there was already a high-pitched or low-pitched prayer.
A man with a white cloth on his head stood at the desk in the middle, facing a strange but still beautiful door, and watched the scriptures on the table read aloud. There is also a seven-in-a-row candlestick that resembles a burning candle and is actually a light bulb.
At this time, many people stood up and began to prepare for prayer. They first rolled up their sleeves and wrapped a long black leather strap around their arms until they reached their palms, and the extra hung like that. He took off his small black felt hat, which was so small that it could only cover the middle of his head, and put a black square with a belt and a square bulge in the middle of his head. After putting on his hat again, he began to look at the scriptures in his hand and recite them softly.
Unlike other denominations, they are recited standing and are extremely religious. Not only is it tied to a black bag, a black square is tied to the door of the head, and a sack-like cloth is hung around the neck. The reading is fascinated, and there are people leaning forward and backwards.
It's funny, but they don't see it that way. Perhaps in the process of reciting the scriptures devotionally, the soul will also be purified.
And Cheng Qianxun's first task at present is to find Professor Gross, and everyone's eyes pass over the faces of everyone who recites the scriptures one by one. But in Cheng Qianxun's eyes, these believers with big beards and curly hair on both sides almost all look similar.
Rudolph, who had never forgotten it, finally noticed it first, he pulled Gordon's sleeve with his hand, and pointed to a beautiful bearded man with a dark beard in front of him, who, like everyone else, also looked at the scriptures in his hands, whether he was convex and backward and swaying back and forth, and his mouth was humming with the voices of the rest of the church.
Gordon was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Hoffman. Hoffman shook his head slightly, obviously others were chanting the scriptures and communicating with God, so it was better not to disturb.
He waited anxiously, and when the bearded man had put away the scriptures and began to untie the belt that was wrapped around his arm, Rudolph walked up.
"Abraham. Professor Gross? Rudolph asked with a smile.
"Yes, you are?" Professor Gross looked at the comer in surprise. It didn't seem to be a single person, and there were several people wearing the same sportswear standing next to them. It looks like a tour group tourist, but it's not.
"Professor Gross, I've finally found you. When we were traveling in the Dead Sea, we went on a hunting expedition, but instead of finding the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls contained, we ended up in another cave. Found something, heard you are an authority on this ... "Honestly, Rudolph is a real talent, and he says it like it's true.
Professor Gross's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he had found something. Immediately agree to go together!
Walking out of the church with him, the two drivers really found another taxi, and the ten people didn't have to force two cars.
To be on the safe side, Rudolph, Gordon, and Mullen accompany Professor Gross in a car. Cheng Qianxun and Sneijder and Regel have one, and the rest of Lance, Hoffman, and Nair have one.
Hotels require identification, they don't even have passports. So the car at the front, with Professors Rudolph and Gross at the top, was parked in front of a country motel.
After getting out of the car, Rudolph went directly into the hotel with two thousand dollars, and when he came out, he had two keys in his hand.
The room is very small, only about a dozen square meters, with two single beds. At one end of the room there was a small shower room, with rusty tiles and limescale. But that's the only way to do it at the moment, let's solve the matter in front of us first.
"Where's the stuff?" Professor Gross looked suspiciously at the group in front of him, and then understood, "Apparently you are not tourists. (To be continued.) )
