Chapter 369: Peaceful Night
Britney kept counting Al, saying that she was cowardly, cowardly, cowardly, and always had to help unrelated people or something.
Luo Wei didn't need to listen to these words at all, he had known Al for a long time, and he knew very well in his heart that Al liked to help others, and it could be seen from the direction of evolution she chose and the items she exchanged that she was willing to be a devotee.
But Al has one very good thing, that is, she doesn't cause trouble when she helps others, and she doesn't hurt other teammates because of her kindness, so Luo Wei doesn't hate her at all, and even admires her a little.
Britney didn't know if she was tired, and she didn't scold anymore, she was silent for a while, her eyes became a little deep, and she said in a low voice: "You have to take care of Al, don't bully her, and don't let her be wronged, do you hear?" β
Luo Wei was a little puzzled, how could this Britney be like a schizophrenic, speaking without saying a word, first scolding Al, and now saying such things inexplicably.
Luo Wei was just about to ask, but Britney suddenly noticed something, looked out the window, put a finger up, and motioned for Luo Wei not to speak.
Luo Wei leaned against the wall to the window and followed Britney's gaze.
There is no absolute fairness in the world, and there is always a distinction between high and low human status, between rich and poor, and this will not change at any time and in any place, and the same is true of the Cross Church.
Compared to the Vatican, this small city is relatively backward, and the current urban area of Luo Wei is more typical of the slums.
In the dim light of the alley corner, a few ragged street children rummaged through a pile of garbage for food, these children had no home, they did not want to join the church orphanage since they were children, they usually did not have enough to eat, and on Christmas Eve they could only pray that the family would be able to dump the leftover food into the garbage can, so that they could enjoy a full meal.
A few children dumped some chicken bones with chicken on them in the garbage heap, which was a rare delicacy for them, and several people immediately quarreled and tried to fight for a good meal.
At this moment, the sound of crisp footsteps came into the alley, and the clattering sound got closer and closer to them, and the children who were still arguing immediately united, stood in front of the garbage heap, and waved their teeth and claws, telling the comers that this was their territory, and get out of here!
The dim light illuminated the charming figure, she was dressed in white, like a pure and beautiful winter snow, without a trace of flaws, her long ink-like hair danced slightly with the cold wind, setting off the slender and slender figure, her eyes were bluer than the clear sky like the jewels of the gods, and it was so deep against the backdrop of the night, which made people unforgettable, haunting her dreams...
The girl slowly walked up to the children, carrying a basket in her hand, and gently lowered it to the ground.
A few children, you look at me, I look at you, and finally hesitantly lifted the cover above the basket, and a tempting aroma of food came to the nostrils, although there was no luxurious big fish and meat, but it was abundant, soft and fragrant rice, green and attractive vegetables, fragrant broth...
A few children could hardly believe what was in front of them, they looked up at the girl, and the bright night light quietly covered her with a beautiful dress, like angels who had descended into the mortal world, holy and charming, spotless, and incomprehensibly beautiful...
The girl glanced at the gobbling children, did not speak, did not linger, and quietly left.
"Sisterβ" The child's trembling voice stopped the girl's steps, and he hesitated for a moment, then said shyly, "Are you an angel?" Are you here to help us? β
The girl raised her head slightly, stared at the beautiful night sky for a while, the corners of her mouth hooked a helpless arc, did not answer, and slowly left here...
At the end of the meal, the children found a New Year's card at the bottom of the basket, and the owner of the card seemed to know that they could not read, and carefully expressed his heart with cute pictures.
An ordinary greeting card, a silent exchange, and ordinary blessings that can no longer be ordinary are like a warm current, flowing through the hearts of children and flowing through the whole body.
...
"It's been six years, and she hasn't changed at all." Britney's eyes were deep, she shook her head slightly, and said lightly, "When I was a child, whenever she had the opportunity, she would make rice and vegetable soup and come over to give it to these hungry imps." More than half of the children who lived on the streets back then had grown up and worked, but she looked like a child who didn't grow up. β
Luo Wei said lightly: "It sounds like there is another story between you. β
"That's not something you should ask." Britney sneered, clenched her fists tightly, squinted her eyes, and said, "You just need to know that my life would be much better off now without Al, instead of living like a piece of trash." β
Luo Wei stared into Britney's eyes, and although he didn't know what happened between this man and Al, he was at least certain that he didn't see an emotion called "hate" in Britney's eyes.
Luo Wei didn't ask anything more, people live in this world, who hasn't ordered their own stories?
Everyone has their own life, maybe it was once amorous and colorful, and the blood was not cold, but the last days changed people's hearts.
As fate would have it, when you embark on this unknown path, you must not stop or turn back...
Luo Wei glanced up at the starry night sky, quickly lowered his head again, silently opened the red umbrella, isolated himself from the night sky, and whispered, "I'm leaving." β
Britney glanced at Luo Wei and didn't say much, she and Luo Wei were just passers-by who were on the same side, and they didn't interfere with each other's paths, so there was nothing to say.
Luo Wei left the slums, and it was not a solution to live in a tree all the time, so it was still early today, so he opened a hotel.
The innkeeper was very hospitable and welcoming to his friend from the East, but he couldn't help but feel strange when he thought that these people might have vented in the so-called "charity room".
That night, in the faint sound of hymns outside the window, Luo Wei fell asleep early.
However, Luo Wei did not sleep peacefully, and at five o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by the noise outside.
The hotel where Lo stayed was relatively close to Al's church quarters, and it soon became clear that this was the source of the noise.
At this time, there were many patrolling knights outside the hotel, and the chief knight had dismounted and was comforting an old woman.
It was none other than Mrs. Smith, her eyes were red from crying at this time, and she choked up with a trembling voice, "El... Al didn't come back all night..."
