Chapter 120: Gu Yankai's childhood
On the second day of the Venetian Resort, Gu Yankai took Xin Manqing to St. Anthony's Church.
The weather was clear and cloudless, and the exterior of the church was a pale gray-green hue. There is a small fountain in front of the door, the water is very clear, the spring is gurgling, and the White Pigeon Park is also nearby.
Directly above the outer wall facing the door, there is a Jesus-like figure holding a newborn baby, maybe that child is Jesus?
This is not the point, and it is normal for the masses of believers without faith to not understand it.
"Manqing, do you want to be stamped?" Gu Yankai asked Xin Manqing, who was admiring the exterior of the church.
"Stamped?" Xin Manqing didn't understand much.
"Follow me." Gu Yankai naturally took Xin Manqing's hand and walked towards the side of the church.
A small vendor appeared in front of him, but there were all kinds of chapters on the table, and after a few simple exchanges, Gu Yankai asked Xin Manqing to choose his favorite seal, which could be stamped on himself.
Xin Manqing chose for a long time, and he couldn't make up his mind.
"Then the little angel with wings, right?" Gu Yankai held a seal in his hand.
"Aren't you just an angel in white, saving the dead." Gu Yankai had a smile on his face, waiting for Xin Manqing's response.
"Where is the cover?" Xin Manqing suspected that he had difficulty choosing.
"That's it." Gu Yankai took advantage of Xin Manqing's inattention, and printed a cute little angel on the side cheek, adding aura and naughtiness to Xin Manqing's face.
"Then I'll be the devil." Gu Yankai chose a demon seal with two small fangs sticking out of his mouth and holding a small fork in his hand.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm going to cover you!" Xin Manqing thought it was very interesting, took the chapter in Gu Yankai's hand, and covered his side face with a snap.
The demon is printed on Gu Yankai's face, which is really in line with the character design, in fact, these two seals are couples, but this is just a careful trick in Gu Yankai's heart.
Xin Manqing didn't see the seal boss looking at the two of them with ambiguous eyes.
"Let's go inside." Xin Manqing pulled Gu Yankai and walked towards the church.
Because it was Sunday morning, when the two of them went in, they were praying inside, and the pastor was reading the Bible in a very reverent tone.
"In heaven we wait for the Father, and we wait for your name to be holy; Erguo Linge; Your will is carried out on the earth, as in the heavens. I wait for you, today with me, my daily bread; forgive me my debts, and if I forgive them from my debts; and I will not be tempted, but will save me from evil. ”
Although I don't understand the meaning, it gives people a sense of *, sacredness. Two men quietly entered through the back door and sat with the prayerful believers.
Xin Manqing looked around, the architectural style was a typical Portuguese church, and the four walls were painted in yellow. It would be nice to have a wedding here, right?
This thought suddenly popped up in Xin Manqing's mind, and Xin Manqing was so frightened that he closed his eyes and begged for the Lord's forgiveness. My own ideas are ridiculous.
Originally, this marriage was a contract, how could this impure covenant with entanglements of interests be blessed and sheltered by God Jesus? Therefore, she and Bo Jingyu have experienced those previous twists and turns.
What will happen to the two in the future, Xin Manqing can't guess the future at all, she is afraid that the final emotional contribution will be a bamboo basket, she doesn't dare to think too much.
Reason roamed over her feelings, leaving her a little breathless. With the rhythm of the pastor's tone, Xin Manqing's heart gradually calmed down.
She stopped thinking about things with Bo Jingyu, and began to learn to pray like the believers around her. Not for themselves, for grandma, for the children of the orphanage.
and Bo Jingyu......
Even if we may not be together in the future, it doesn't matter, but may the Lord let the people she loves be safe and happy.
Gu Yankai, a person with bloody hands, rarely felt such a quiet atmosphere as the church, he turned his head to look at Xin Manqing's side face with his eyes closed, quiet and beautiful.
At this moment, Gu Yankai also folded his hands, perhaps begging the Lord to forgive him for his killing, if one day he could leave such a world and live in seclusion in the mountains with his beloved, he was also willing to let go of everything.
But before that, he wanted to repay his adoptive father's nurturing kindness, and he had no choice in such a life. Even if his adoptive father asked him to kill his biological father, he would have gone.
After all, if it hadn't been for his adoptive father's rescue, he would probably have died in Huangquan.
He always remembered that rainy night, his biological father didn't know why he was drunk again, maybe he failed in some mission?
At that time, the little Gu Yankai only knew that his biological father was a gangster boss, and he always watched him recover from his injuries and go out, and within a few days, he came back with his injuries, and then he recovered, leaving scars all over his body, and left again.
Every time I see him, it's okay when he doesn't drink, he will occasionally fry two dishes for him, Gu Yankai, who is sitting on the simple coffee table and eating vegetables, is the happiest, but once his biological father comes home with the smell of wine, he will be extremely afraid.
He always beat him with a belt, scolding and swearing as he did, saying something about the wild seed that you wild woman brought back.
Saying something cruel about you being so treacherous, abandoning your husband and children, seeing that I don't kill your son, the eyes of the biological father at that time were full of hatred and despair.
When he was tired, he fell asleep, and Gu Yankai at that time had the same scars on his body as his biological father.
When there is no healing at all, even if the flesh wound is healed, the wound in the heart will always leave a great shadow.
Finally, again, the biological father returned home drunk again, but there seemed to be a middle-aged man sitting in the car driving back, and the man didn't get out of the car at first, and he couldn't see his face.
The biological father walked home crookedly, Gu Yankai went up to get him slippers, and the confusion of alcohol made the biological father see Gu Yankai as if he saw the wild woman who had turned his back on him, untied the belt, and waved it.
But this time, the pain of the beating did not come as expected, and Gu Yankai, who was holding his head, trembled and looked at the black shadow that appeared next to him.
He stopped his biological father's atrocities with his hands.
"Since you don't like this kid so much, I'll take him away."
Today's Gu Yankai can't remember what kind of expression Gu Kun had on his face at that time, probably without expression, over the years, his emotions have not been very exposed.
Or, always smiling like a Buddha, but the heart is very cold and hard.
Gu Kun took Gu Yankai away, and he raised him from then on, to be precise, he was cultivating a weapon that he could use satisfactorily.
But in terms of material, he still treats him very well, at least in the case of his adoptive father Gu Kun, Gu Yankai has never been beaten again.
This is a great kindness to him. There is no reward for using one's life.
