The preaching of the stone two days began. Sure enough, there was a certain shift. Printing Flyer Hearts... Or continue to do it, there is no flyer, there is no audience. And when Lu Ruohua preached, he brushed aside all the original sin, hell and other things, and talked about various "miracles" and "resurrections"

After a few days. It actually worked. An old lady came to Bai Duolu and asked where their temple was, Lu Ruohua was broken, and immediately helped her to the third entrance of the ancestral hall to greet her, ready to save her soul. But this old lady's ** needs to save her from long-term poor health. If you want to ask for a medicine: take a handful of incense ash or talisman water.

Lu Ruohua deserved to be born in the Jesuits, but did not change color, but took the opportunity to talk about the truth that as long as you firmly believe in God, you can be saved, and the old lady was dizzy, and she actually took a small wooden cross when she walked.

A few days passed. It is not known whether God really intended to appear in this barren land or if it was the effect of spiritual healing. The old lady came to the church again, and this time she respectfully asked for one. The big "cross" goes back. Lu Ruohua burst into tears of excitement Back then, Matteo Ricci had not been able to baptize anyone in Panheng in China for many years, and he actually opened up the situation so easily, and he couldn't help but look at Bai Duolu differently. As a result, the content of "reasoning" has become more and more "in line with China's national conditions." Eventually, he baptized the dazed old lady. Of course, whether to wash away the "original sin" or the "root of the disease" is a matter of individual expressions.

From that day on, Lu Ruohua's missionary work opened up the situation. Bai Duolu found that history has proved that middle-aged and elderly women have infinite vitality and are a gold mine for recruiting activists for various social activities. Under the encouragement and drive of this old lady, many women and old people came to "listen to the reason", although Cai has not been baptized for the time being, but gradually in the evening, many people will gather to listen to Father Lu's preaching, and the long night is also a pastime, not to mention this. The red-haired man is also a diorama.

Lu Ruohua is very good at drawing inferences, in addition to talking about miracles as usual, he also tells some Bible stories. What to say should be "advised" by Bai Duolu, so as not to spread some fierce information that is too shocking to the world.

"Father, now that someone has come to hear the sermon, I think we can change the layout of the chapel a little." One day, Bai Duolu said humbly.

"How to change it."

"I remember that in Europe, the church was always a place for people to meet, talk, and socialize

"You're right." Lu Ruohua was very excited, "There are still people who do business in the village churches in France. It's also a rural place, and there's no pastime or entertainment either. There is also no suitable meeting place. ”

Originally, there was a meeting place. Under the large vertebral tree at the entrance of the village, it was originally a natural meeting place. However, more than ten years ago, when the party and the government brought back and forth in this tug-of-war, they both chose the place where the murder was killed, and the black stains of blood can still be seen in the cracks of the bluestone slabs. The villagers now turn away from the place.

At the suggestion of Bai Duolu. Lu Ruohua added some tables and chairs to the furnishings of the hall in the third courtyard, which had been converted into a chapel, prepared many torches, a large number of tea bowls and teapots bought from Lingao, and added a stove to boil water. It was made a place for evening gatherings.

As for the consecrated cross. At the suggestion of Bai Duolu, the crucifixion cross, which everyone thought was terrible, was changed to a normal one. The church also added a picture of the Virgin in her arms and the Son, which is the same reason why Guanyin is so popular in Chinese Buddhism, and the belief in the Virgin Mary is also very marketable in Catholic countries in Europe.

After this elaborate renovation, the church became a local social center: the priest did not hesitate to light a large number of lanterns every day, so much so that Bai Duolu had to go back to Bairen several times to buy candles. In order to save lamp oil, ordinary farmers refuse to light lamps at night, but the church is not only lit but also lit, which immediately attracts many women who have to work at night and young people who do not want to only sleep. Gather together and talk. Listening to the red-haired priest tell a few Western stories, and some words of persuasion, everyone is also interested in his "reasoning". Almost every three or four days, the postal inspection department of the General Security Administration receives a letter from Lu Ruohua to the Jesuit president in Macau, which is full of emotion.

Bai Duolu knew that it was difficult to start preaching in the countryside. But once the situation is opened. It can often sweep the whole village very quickly. Therefore, Lu Ruohua is advised not to be in a hurry and focus his work on the family of the first baptized believer. Capture the next household first as a "fortress household"

Lu Ruohua now simply relies on Bai Duolu as his right-hand man, obeys his words, and cares for Mrs. Mei's family, who was baptized at the earliest.

The church was lively, and it made a lot of trouble. blamed Dong Weiwei several times for not going to Bai

"Now it's good! The masses have won it for foreign religions! How to carry out the work in the future! ”

"We can't fight for it, so let them fight for it first, it's better than not dying or living, Dong Weiwei has done township work, and knows that where the church has succeeded in mission, the social order has generally improved significantly. The government also has a lot to do.

"Besides, Mr. Wen said: This church is not a foreign religion, but a church with Chinese characteristics."

Du Shi continued to object: "I am against this method of using religion to confuse and deceive the people. ”

"Okay, don't talk about these big things." Dong Weiwei said, "Now that everyone has been gathered, everyone has something to do every night, and it is much easier to understand the social situation."

With such a gathering place for the villagers, it is easy for the members of the workshop to blend in with the crowd and "make friends." "It's easier and more convenient than ever to collect secrets. Soon the mass work progressed, and the team members collected a lot of basic information.

It's a pity that Du Bian and Dong Weiwei, the two traversers, can't intervene in this matter, and it is difficult to carry out even the women's work that is most suitable for women. This is no better than Yanchang Village, there are Tan family elders to make an introduction, Du Bian can easily talk to Tan Xiaoqin about women's liberation, they don't know how to needlework, they don't know how to make yarn, they can't talk to Lingao, and they can't talk to local women at all. Going to church to sit and talk to people didn't work out, and everyone was a little afraid of them. After all, people are "female officials." ”

Dong Weiwei thought for a long time, and decided to use her little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine to get close to the masses, she has a few common diagnosis and treatment manuals of traditional Chinese medicine, and she is a family traditional Chinese medicine, and she has also learned some things about massage and acupuncture. Now you can take it out and put it to use.

Du Shou couldn't think of any way, so she acted as her assistant, she didn't have it, she still had the strength. There is no obstacle to learning massage and the like. The two women set up a stall in the church to practice medicine. This initiative has been very popular: there is a general shortage of medical care in rural areas, and women have few opportunities to see a doctor, and some of them are sick. Dong Weiwei found that she had become a general practitioner, relying on a little accumulation in the past to practice medicine, and she had to receive several female patients every day. This made her fall into a panic from time to time, for fear that she would heal someone somewhere.

At this point, she couldn't back down, so she wrote a very earnest letter to the Ministry of Health, asking them to send Liu San, the only Chinese medicine talent, to help, at least solve the problem of medicine.

At present, she has to go to the county seat to catch the medicine if she prescribes it or not, and the farmers do not always have cash.

But even so, the locals are grateful for their actions. They are finally able to have direct access to the local population.

Two women worked day and night. The lanterns were often left on all night, and the materials collected from various sources were repeatedly studied. The box that Du Chang used as a filing cabinet had already begun to pile up a lot of written materials. Her notebook was filled with a few similar words:

"Liu Dajie, a poor peasant, has a wavering attitude

"Wang Wu, rich peasant, hated bandits. The attitude of struggle is not resolute. ”

The most important situation in the village is the bandit family, and they have a lot of information. Through the trainees of the workshop, many victims of bandits were secretly contacted. Every night, someone sneaked in from behind the third entrance church and talked secretly in the courtyard of the second entrance. When it comes to sadness, there are always people crying, women are soft-hearted, and it is easy to shed tears when they see people crying, but it is unexpectedly easier to win the hearts of the people, and everyone says that these two female officials have good hearts.

These victims are carefully selected by the trainees, and they are not blood feuds with the bandits, and they do not talk deeply. When it comes to bandits, everyone gritted their teeth and wept bitterly. However, even so, Du Chang's expectation that they would first be mobilized to organize the basic militia, and then mobilize the masses, was disappointed.

Most of the victims' families died in young adults. Bandits also know how to cut grass and eradicate roots. Those left behind were not the elderly, or women and children, there were a few young adults, and the old people in the family were also afraid that this single seedling would suffer again, and their attitudes were negative.

Half a month has passed since then. The situation still hasn't made much progress, and Daolu Village can still maintain the calm of the scene, but in other villages in the Thirteen Village area, there has been an incident of bandits rushing back to supply food.
