Chapter Seventy-Three: The Rain and the Priest
Coincidentally, one of the most unforgettable memories in Dong Scorpion's life was also in a heavy rain.
There is a saying that how a person's life is evaluated can be seen by how many people come to his funeral. When his parents' coffins were buried, Dong Scorpion deeply realized this.
He never dreamed that his parents would have so many friends, and seventy percent of them were his mother's friends. The vast majority of them are Chinese, and many of them flew directly from country Z to country M.
All their parents' lives, until they died, they have been doing exorcism work. To this day, Dong Scorpion doesn't understand whether doing such work is out of a sense of mission or because of the fate of the family? As far as he knew, his father was also a well-known exorcist.
And what surprised him the most was ...... Father Midley was also a good friend of his mother's. Of course, there are too many friends of my mother, and the priest is not the best relationship among them, and the priest said afterwards that he and his mother have only been in contact for a long time, but he can tell Dong Scorpion with certainty that his mother is a great person, and now she has gone to the arms of God.
In the heavy rain, Dong Scorpion was dressed in black and watched the coffin buried under the soil...... The priest held an umbrella and held a Bible, reciting the words that priests often say at funerals. However, at that moment, the priest's words did not feel formatted, but full of sincerity and remembrance of the deceased.
It was a lonely day for Dong Scorpion. Except for my uncle, none of the people who attended the funeral came to the funeral. Now that I think about it, I'm worried about being affected. The mother's family only has an uncle, and the people in the father's family seem to have always disliked the mother and the mother's family.
Every mother's friend cried at the funeral as if a loved one had lost their life, and many even hugged him when they met him for the first time, saying what kind of good people his parents were, and how regrettable his parents' death was.
At that time, Dong Scorpion knew that it was the devil who killed his parents.
The heavy rain that day lasted for a long, long time. And Dong Scorpion almost dried up his life's tears, and at that time, Isabella accompanied him all night. At that time, Isabella was still a child who had not graduated from kindergarten, but she stayed by Dong Scorpion's side until she fell asleep.
The next day, my uncle left. When he was leaving, he told Dong Scorpion that he couldn't take him away and let Dong Scorpion stay here well.
Dong Scorpion was in pain at that time...... In the Gominik family, he did not have any sense of belonging. But he had to stay here. Now that I think about it, for my uncle, he can only helplessly leave his only nephew at the Gomynik house. For his uncle at that time, Dong Scorpion was his last relative, and for him, his uncle continued to work as a spy in the Black Shadow Sect.
At that time, in a mood of sadness and confusion, Dong Scorpion went to find the priest. When he learned that the priest and his mother knew each other, he suddenly felt that the priest was closer to him than the earl, who had always raised him. At that time, in the church, Vilvin and Isabella prayed quietly, while Dong Scorpion went to find the priest.
"Father Midley...... Does God really love all people equally? Why did God love them and let them die miserably? I don't know how many times I've prayed to God...... Let them ...... in peace"
"Scobine," said the priest to Dong Scorpion, "in this world, man must have gone through countless sufferings, even Christ was betrayed and crucified. But this suffering is also an integral part of life. ”
At that time, Dong Scorpion looked at the cross above his head and thought thoughtfully.
"God loves us as much as you love your parents." In the gentlest tone, the priest said to Dong Scorpion: "We should live our lives well, and love others as God loves us." ”
Dong Scorpion didn't fully understand the priest's words, but he saw the tears in the priest's eyes.
The priest really cared for him.
But now, he finally understood. Even if there is a God, it is not as omnipotent as human beings think. People think that God can be omniscient and omnipotent, but because he is too weak. This world is too cruel, so people place their wishes on an omniscient and omnipotent being.
Suddenly, the priest crouched down and hugged Dong Scorpion, who was still a child at the time.
Skorben ...... I don't know how to comfort your pain...... But please bear with me......"
Dong Scorpion will not forget the priest's embrace at that time. In retrospect, the priest may have been just one of her many friends to the mother, but to the priest, the mother was probably a very important friend.
Now, however, the last impression of the priest in his memory was that he had become a devil.
……
When Meng Qindong woke up, he found himself lying on a bed. And she was surprised to find that her injured part was no longer painful! Then, she found Dong Scorpion sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Thank you before saying anything." Dong Scorpion handed her a glass of water and said, "There is drinking water stored in this room, you can drink some water first." ”
Meng Qindong stroked the position of the previous gunshot wound and asked suspiciously, "What the hell am I ......?"
"I healed you. I won't tell you the specifics, I also have to keep some hole cards. ”
Meng Qindong didn't know how Dong Scorpion did it, she seemed to have passed out in a coma because of her injuries.
"They ......"
"I ran to the tank from before, and when they chased after me, I was haunted by those devils. Because we made the test questions, the devil did not attack us. That's ...... Escaped. ”
Meng Qindong took the water cup, took a sip, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you...... Thank you, me, I really thought I was going to die. ”
"You've been through a lot of these life-and-death moments, right?"
"Yes...... But the shot was the first time. Speaking of which...... Will there be scars? ”
In front of Dong Scorpion, she couldn't untie her clothes and look at it.
"There are no scars."
"That's good...... Wait, you, have you seen it? ”
The part where the shot was made...... It's too close to the heart, and the position of the human heart is in the ......
"Good...... Okay......" she sighed, after all, she wasn't someone she couldn't let go. Because of her mother's influence, although she exchanged her beauty for the help of male candidates, she never let those people succeed easily, and always kept the final bottom line. And she has also received some rewards because of luck, so that those male candidates can't use force on her. She always thinks that her mother's failure is precisely because she married her father, as the so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing. Only by hanging those men will they always remember themselves.
Of course, this is no longer the case. Now she doesn't have any rewards, so this time she also plans to go out and really pay something substantial in exchange for Dong Scorpion's protection. So...... She doesn't care about this matter. Anyway, it's a matter of time.
"We're not going to talk about it anymore." If it continues, this chapter may be blocked, so Dong Scorpion diverted the topic: "Don't worry for the time being, there is no magic ...... around here."
Meng Qindong suddenly came to his senses and said, "Wait! I...... How long have I been in a coma? ”
She quickly pulled out the exam paper in her pocket and looked at it, but she was surprised. Because...... On the exam paper, many new answers have been filled in, and it seems that there is a third of the content!
This handwriting is naturally not Meng Qindong's. Of course, handwriting will not be judged as cheating, and Dong Scorpion has heard similar incidents of candidate cheating mentioned by Willin in the past. He won't tell Dong Scorpion about the core information, but some innocuous things will still be shared with him.
Meng Qindong looked up at Dong Scorpion and suddenly understood.
This is what Dong Scorpion copied into his exam paper? But isn't he afraid of skeletons opening their eyes? Once cheating is caught, it is an instant death! Meng Qindong didn't think that his beauty and value could be so high that he could make Dong Scorpion forget about life and death.
Of course, Dong Scorpion would not tell Meng Qindong how he copied the answer. However, there is no doubt that under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to risk his life to help Meng Qindong copy the answer. He can't do such a thing as sacrificing his life and forgetting death. Even if Meng Qindong saved his life with the excuse that he was pregnant, it was impossible for him to repay the favor with his life. He saved Meng Qindong, and he didn't know if it was because there were more factors to repay her kindness, or if there were more factors that needed the information she provided.
"I'm not going to let you die." Dong Scorpion pointed to the exam paper in her hand: "Remember...... Stay alive! ”
