Chapter 697: The Protagonist

Today is Sunday, and it is also a day of prayer for the people, on this day, people can go to the church to confess their sins in order to seek spiritual liberation.

Bertie's father, Bill, was a traditional believer in the belief that everyone was sinful, so he would take his son to church every Sunday afternoon to pray.

"It's a day of prayer, and my father isn't at home, otherwise I don't know where I'm going to get you." Bertie held Carmen by her arms, opened the door with the key, and helped her sweetheart inside.

"Thank you, Bertie, I'm not as bad as you think." Carmen sat on a high stool in front of the bar, helped by Bertie, trying to reach for Bertie's hair.

"Don't move."

Bertie gave him a blank look, and while gently helping Carmen unbutton his clothes, he said sadly: "Carmen, you can't do this, or I'll go and talk to my father and let you come to work at the bar." ”

"Going to work?" Carmen smiled self-deprecatingly, looked down at the gunshot wound on her shoulder, and whispered, "Working at your house, whether the salary is 30 cents or 50 cents, Bertie, that little money can only keep me from starving, and I can't do anything else." ”

There is another sentence that Carmen didn't say, and that is that a waitress at a bar is not worthy of a girl like Bertie.

Bertie is so beautiful, her future should be to ride in a carriage, wear mink, and go in and out of high society.

If he did agree to come down and work as a waiter in the bar, there might not be much change in the short term, and the longer the time passed, his relationship with Bertie would definitely be estranged.

First of all, Old Bill would not allow his waiter to hook up with his daughter.

What's more, Bertie will always grow up, and the gap in the identities between the two sides will one day become the straw that crushes the two.

"Shhh

The blood that flowed from the wound had stuck to her clothes, and when she took off her clothes, Carmen gasped in pain.

Hearing Carmen's cries of pain, Bertie moved more gently, and was busy for a while before taking off Carmen's coat.

"Is there a mirror?" Taking off her top, Carmen felt a lot more comfortable, and the swollen wound was no longer pressed by the clothes.

Bertie hurriedly went to find a mirror, but fortunately, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl always loves beauty, and mirrors are a must-have.

"It's a penetrating wound, the wound is in the shoulder, the bullet has penetrated out, fortunately it is not stuck in the bone."

Carmen held the mirror, looked at the wound on her shoulder, waved her hand nonchalantly, and said, "Don't worry, this injury will be fine in a month or two." ”

Bertie didn't speak, looking at the wound on Carmen's shoulder, his eyes full of mist.

Finding that her little girlfriend could cry at any time, Carmen showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and teased: "I want to see you below." ”

"Shameless..."

Seeing that Carmen was injured like this, and couldn't help but tease herself, Bertie's cheeks were slightly red, and the mist in her eyes turned into shame.

Carmen smiled like a weasel, and while tearing her clothes with her teeth to make bandages, she encouraged: "My little angel, let me see, I am in pain now, you can stop my pain." ”

"Nasty."

Bertie's face was as red as a small apple, but the movements of his hands were not slow.

Showing her little boyfriend her fruit is a little secret between the two, which not only makes Carmen excited, but also makes her happy.

With his hands on his chest, Bertie's movements were slow, buttoning up and undressing, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Is it beautiful?" Pulling back from her clothes, Bertie tilted her head and licked her lips at Carmen.

Carmen swallowed and spat, forgetting the pain in the wound for a while, and said hoarsely, "Let me take a look below." ”

Bertie didn't speak, just left his shirt open and reached for his belt.

Carmen's eyes widened, and she didn't even dare to blink for fear of missing the annual drama, only the sound of more and more rapid gasps showed that he was not calm.

Click...

Before Bertie could take off her pants, the two of them heard the sound of pushing the door.

The sound of pushing the door was very crisp, and the moment the sound sounded, the little man and woman were frightened.

Bertie quickly turned around to get dressed, while Carmen breathed heavily and picked up her dagger.

"Did I bother you?"

The sunlight was shining through the door, and it was so dazzling that it was impossible to see who was standing in the doorway.

Carmen tilted her head to see better, but before he could see clearly, the man standing in the doorway came in.

Click!!

With the sound of the door closing, a man in a brown suit, a trench coat, and a jazz hat on his head walked in.

Carmen couldn't help but blink her eyes after he adjusted to the lights around him, and the person who came was already sitting next to him.

"Don't get excited, young man."

Carmen was about to raise his dagger when a pair of large, powerful hands pressed against his wrists.

After two hard strokes, the owner of these hands was so strong that no matter how hard Carmen tried, he couldn't pull his hands back.

"You, why are you here?"

Bertie, who had sorted out her clothes, hid behind Carmen in a panic, as if she was a little girl who had done something wrong and was discovered by her parents.

Wang Xu took off his jazz hat, put it on his left hand, and said: "Before your father left, let me help him take care of the shop, he always thinks that you are still young and it is not safe to leave you alone in the shop, I think he is right." ”

Wang Xu said this, glanced at Bertie's shirt, and whispered, "Your button is wrong." ”

Bertie's face turned red and she quickly turned her head to straighten her clothes, she couldn't imagine if her father knew about it, Carmen would be killed by his father asking the gunman.

"We are friends..."Buttoning the button indiscriminately, Bertie lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wang Xu, and begged in a low voice: "Can you help us keep it secret?" If my father had known, he would have gone mad. ”

Wang Xu shrugged his shoulders and did not answer Bertie's words, but turned his head to look at Carmen.

Ever since Carmen recognized him, she had been clutching a dagger and ready to attack at any moment.

It's a pity that his strength is too weak for Wang Xu, Wang Xu only pressed his wrist with one finger, which could make him unable to move.

"Carmen, is this your real name?" Wang Xu looked at Carmen without any expression on his face.

"What are you going to do?"

Although Carmen injured his left shoulder and his right hand was still held down by Wang Xu, he had no fear, just like a newborn calf.

"Huh!" Wang Xu smiled, withdrew his hand, and looked at Carmen, who pointed the dagger at him: "If I were you, I wouldn't think that a dagger can do much good." Don't be nervous, young man, I'm not here to check the post, I'm just interested in you. Now, tell me your name, what's your name? ”

"Eluk, Carmen!" Carmen didn't know whether she wanted Wang Xu to let down her guard or to make herself appear non-threatening, so she actually put down the dagger in her hand after hearing Wang Xu's words.

Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction, took out a note from his jacket pocket, pushed it in front of Carmen, and said softly: "Have you seen anything on it?" ”

Carmen quietly took the note, opened it, and saw that it seemed to have been torn from the page, and a stone arch covered with patterns was drawn on it, which looked full of mystery and solemnity.

"No, I've never seen anything like this, I swear."

Carmen just glanced at it, then shook her head and pushed the note back.

Because he was sure that if he had seen this thing, he would have been impressed, but he tried to remember it for a long time, but he still had no impression at all.

Wang Xu looked into his eyes, and after three seconds, he nodded and stood up, put away the note and left without looking back.

Carmen looked at him like this, and waited until Wang Xu opened the door before she said loudly, "What is that?" ”

"The Gate of Truth."

Wang Xu paused slightly, pulled the door with one hand, and pointed to Carmen with the other: "You will see it soon, believe me, you are the most special one..."

Click...

Looking at the reclosed door, Carmen was very puzzled and muttered to her little girlfriend, "I don't even know what he's talking about." ”
