Chapter 52: St. Gorsk's Monastery
Seeing that his church was being robbed by bandits, Father Mohan immediately went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife, which was hidden by Shabanne.
It took Father Mohan a whole morning to recover, and when he learned all the things, he said weakly: Rasputin, will God forgive you, I don't know, I will never forgive you, you owe me too much. “
He wrote a letter to the abbot of the Gorsk Convent, Molivassy, with the general content: ask her to take in Rasputin, the poor child.
He said to Ringer, you will definitely not stay in the village, you can't stay in the church, the police, the cavalry will come at any time, get out of here quickly, don't look back, go to the Gorsk Holy Lady Monastery to take refuge, don't you want to be a priest, start with the monastery, maybe you will become a good priest.
Father Mohan also gave Rasputin some money, which was the cost of the passage to the monastery, and Father Mohan said, for the sake of the Lord, I hope that Abbot Molliwasi will take you in, she is a very eccentric abbot, if she does not take you in, it is up to you whether you can live or not.
Shabonny also left the village and went with Ringer, who was to take care of Ringer on the way.
The next day, Father Mohan gave Rasputin the sleigh that he had brought back, drawn by an old horse, scrawny, and Ringer did not know if such a horse would be able to pull him to the Gorsk Convent.
As he left the church, Father Mohan drew a cross and blessed the unlucky pair on the sleigh, wishing them a smooth journey and a safe arrival.
On the way, there was only one person to see Ringer off, and that was Dr. Kochaer, who brought Ringer some food, said nothing, sighed and left.
Ringer was a little sad, this village, he had also stayed in this village for almost a year, and he was leaving, and suddenly some nostalgia appeared.
Sleigh Chen walked forward for a kilometer, and on the side of the road, there was a person stopping the car, like a hitchhiker.
This person, extremely thin, seems to have no flesh, wears a top hat, black gloves, a pair of big leather shoes, and covers a mask.
"Brother, we can't take people, the old horse is too young to pull it up."
Ringer confronted the man.
The man lifted his top hat to reveal his eyes, and Ringer was startled at first, then couldn't help laughing.
He's a skeleton man!
Shabonny was terrified and didn't know what to do.
Ringer shook his head: "Come on." “
The skeleton man silently got into the sleigh, right next to Ringer.
"Shall I give you a name?"
Shabonny recovered from his horror and said, "I think I should choose a name, what should I call it?" “
Ringer thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it half a bone, half a bone that comes out of it." “
The skeleton man didn't say anything, and Ringer smiled: "If you don't speak, you mean that you have acquiesced, very good, half-bone, welcome to join our escape team, is that white-eyed necromancer chasing you?" “
Shabonny asked strangely, "Why did that old man chase and kill half of the bones?" “
"Guess, half of the bones ruined his good deeds, and the old man will definitely not let him go."
Half Bone nodded slightly.
The sleigh is moving slowly in the sun.
Shabonny said, "God, I hope this weather lasts a few more days." ”
The sleigh went east, and the endless forest was deserted, leaving only the white and gray sky, and the cold snow wind made Ringer lonely and sentimental.
Ice and snow, tiredness, and a bad mood combined, and his injuries worsened.
Look, there's a lake!
Look, there's a lumberyard over there!
Look, there's a bear!
Look, there's a girl!
Whenever Shabonny finds something new, he will come and amuse Ringer.
He was afraid that Ringer would fall asleep, they didn't bring too much to keep out the cold, and the sled had a very limited carrying capacity, so they tried to bring as little else as possible except for food.
In the distance, the whistle of a train was heard, and the half-lying Ringer opened his eyes, as if he had returned to the real world, bidding farewell to the primitive desolation.
Stop and look at the van.
The old steam train, billowing smoke, passed over the tracks, slowly, not much faster than running, and this was the most memorable sight that Ringer encountered in Siberia.
This is the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Great Trans-Siberian Railway.
They had to cross the railway and walk 200 kilometers north to reach their destination.
Calculating the time, Ringer has been walking for four days, and it will take another five days to arrive.
The sleigh could only travel forty kilometers a day when the snow began to fall again.
Before crossing the railroad, they spent the night in a town with only one inn, which was so humble that Ringer thought they had arrived in a primitive society.
Moreover, the hotel charges very expensive, and the owner is greasy and groggy, as if he can't wake up at all, and after giving the money, he has a virtue that he can't live in.
The hotel only provides hot water, quilts, nothing else, and the quilts are still smelly, thin, black and rotten.
Shabonny grumbled and couldn't do anything, they desperately needed a decent place to rest, and before arriving at the inn, in order to save money, they either squatted in the deserted farmhouse yard for the night, or spent the night in a cave in the field.
Ringer had a fever, a terrible fever, but Shabonny had no money to see him.
After staying at the hotel, Shabonny went out on the street, looked for a wife who looked rich, and secretly stole her hug, and then, he used the stolen money to buy medicine for Ringer, who didn't know, was discovered, blocked on the street, beaten half to death, and the medicine was confiscated.
Seeing that Shabonny would not come for so long, Ringer wanted to go and see, so he got up and went out silently.
Half Bone had never said a word since he got on the sleigh, and even sat in a permanent position, Shabonny suspected that the demon had died.
But when Shabonny returned to the hotel, he tried to pretend he had fallen.
Ringer saw it in his eyes, didn't speak, stood up, and hugged him.
Their money was only enough for one night, and the next day, they had to leave, Shabonny was afraid that Ringer would not be able to bear it, and it was very miraculous that Ringer seemed to have been protected by God, and his injuries improved and his fever subsided.
Crossing the Trans-Siberian Railway, they continued on their way.
Ringer's mood gradually improved, he came to catch the car, and he waited for Shabonny.
On the ninth day, the monotonous and long journey finally came to an end, and the Gorsk Convent fell under Ringer's eyes.
