Eighty-one, re-encountered

Someone approached, Minna looked left and right in a panic, found no place to hide, gritted her teeth, slipped out of the crack in the wall again, caught a glimpse of the person who was chasing her was not far from the left, and hurriedly ran to the right, but those people heard the footsteps and chased after her.

She fled in a panic and ran out into the street before she knew it. At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, she interspersed left and right in the crowd, and finally could not see the shadow of the pursuers, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly saw that at the corner of the street, it was the informant who Vasily had mentioned just now, and she ran over.

When she was still quite far away, the flower seller saw her, looked puzzled, and was about to meet her, but was stopped by the person who wanted to buy the flowers. Minna was horrified to see that the man was dressed in the same clothes as the pursuer just now, and did not look like a good person, so she hurriedly stopped, stepped back, and when the man bought flowers and was about to turn around, she turned around and ran in the other direction. The flower seller looked at her back and felt inexplicably wonderful.

Minna ran down the street, always feeling that everyone around her was looking at her, or staring at the cloth bag in her hand, as if they were all accomplices of the bad guys. She was scared, but she didn't know where to go, there must be bad people in front of the security department, even if she wanted to go back, it wasn't now, or... Go to Daddy first? Dad is also a member of the Security Agency.,But I don't know where Dad is at Ito's house.,The letter was also handed over by the Temple of Light here... Temple of Light?

Minna looked at the white building in front of her left, and her eyes lit up. The Temple of Light is a religious place set up by the central Holy See of Van A, in a sense, the land occupied by each Temple of Light belongs to Van A, even if those bad people are very powerful, they can't break in! Wouldn't it be okay if she hid in the Temple of Light first, waited for those people to leave, and then went to the Security Department?

She was about to lift her foot, but hesitated. Those people dared to sneak up only 200 meters away from the Security Department. She must not be an ordinary person, she just went to the temple like this, if the people in the temple can't protect herself, then what should she do?

Before she could think clearly, there was the sound of eager footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw several vicious men running towards her, and she couldn't care so much anymore, so she ran away. She wanted to turn through the alley next to the temple to the back door, but she didn't expect it to be a dead alley, with only some abandoned debris in the corner, and high walls on three sides.

The voices were getting closer, and a cold sweat broke out on her head. I saw a few insect-eaten wooden poles in the debris pile, and I hurriedly pulled them out, leaned against the wall, climbed up with them, and rode up the wall. At this time, the figure of the chasing soldier appeared at the entrance of the alley, and when they saw her, they shouted: "Don't run!" Come down! ”

Minna snorted, moved the pole to the other side, slid it down, and hid in the grass with the stick, and then heard the other side of the wall. The big men tried to climb over in the same way, but the poles couldn't bear their weight and broke one after another. They talked loudly, some were going to find a sturdy pole, and some were going to knock on the door of the temple.

Minna gritted her teeth and buried herself in the grass, crouching forward. Approaching the main hall, she could see that the monks who had just finished their morning prayers had left the main hall in twos and threes, and some had returned to their rooms. Someone heard a knock on the door and ran over to see what was going on. Minna remembered her experience in Encore City, and knew that there should be no one in the main hall at this time, so she avoided the others and sneaked over quietly.

There was only one young monk left in the main hall, wiping the candlestick in front of the altar. Minna hid her body behind her seat. Climb forward cautiously. When they got to the back of a large pillar, they stopped moving.

When the monk rubbed to the third candlestick. Hearing a fierce quarrel at the gate, she listened curiously to a few words, then dropped the rag and went out, Minna hurriedly took the opportunity to run to the altar. There is a small podium here, where the monk who presides over the ceremony stands, and no one usually comes up. She had known this for a long time in the temple of Encore City, and hurriedly hid in the recessed space at the back of the podium. It was small enough, but large enough for a child, and as long as no one stood in front of the podium, no one would notice her.

The quarrel outside the gate gradually subsided, and it didn't take long for calm to return. Minna listened carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that those pursuers no longer insisted on breaking through, but soon began to worry again, how to leave? Those people must be waiting for her outside the temple, right?

Looking down at the cloth bag in her hand, this was given to her by Vasily, could it be something important? Her heart moved, and when she opened it, she saw that it contained the letters and noble certificates she had seen in Water.

Those people, right? The bad guys that Dad wants to catch, and the people who ask Sarah in Encore City. Vasily once said that the other party could find out that they had taken the things, but they had taken a step earlier and could have bought a lot of time, but they were delayed not far from Ito and were actually chased by those people.

Damn it! She knew that she should have persuaded Vasily to escape that day, and if she was worried about being caught up by the inspection team, she could have left when it was dark and took the land route instead, how could the people of the inspection team be discovered? As for whether it will affect the shipowner, they were already affected by the shipowner, and this is also his own doing, why should she care?!

Minna resented. Those bad guys didn't hesitate to kill people for the sake of these letters and certificates, and they chased after her, this must be a very important thing, she will protect it, and she must hand them over to the Security Department to kill all those bad guys!

She remembered what had happened before, and she couldn't help but grieve and be a little dazed. Everything seemed to be in a dream, apparently she and Vasily were still talking and laughing in the last second, and Vasily also proposed to race to see who would reach the security department first, but in the next second, the arrow suddenly came, and then Vasily was injured and poisoned, and she had to leave him and run away.

Vassili... Is it dead? The smiling Vasily, who always told her kindly, played with her, walked with her on his back, and put on a serious face, in fact, he was joking... So happily Vasily, how could he die? That's it... Suddenly, he was hit by a poisoned arrow and stopped moving...

If this is a dream, wake up quickly! She wanted to see Vasily's smile again. Listen to him talk about those thrilling and funny, and laugh at his crappy barbecue skills... She didn't want to see him bleed, she didn't want to see him die...

She looked up at the wall directly in front of her, the golden eight-pointed star that symbolized the god of light, and silently prayed in her heart: O god of light. If you really exist, please bless Vasily for salvation...

Tears flowed uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to speak. The monk who had left before returned, and brought with him two companions, who together they wiped the menorah and the chairs, until someone came to the temple to pray, and then withdrew.

It seems to be an old man. Not as nimble as the young man, he slowly walked to the seat in front of the altar and sat down, and began to pray. Minna hurriedly held her breath so as not to be discovered by the other party.

"Great God of Light, thank you for your protection, the young master escaped smoothly, I ask you to continue to bless him, let him get out of danger as soon as possible and restore his innocence..."

It was an old male voice, and Minna listened. Her heart was pounding, and she trembled and crawled out of the podium and turned to the direction of her seat: "Grandpa Marshall..."

It was Marshall, her old housekeeper! Since leaving Qiton at the age of six. Marshall, who had been separated from her for five years, was now gray, his face was haggard, and he had lost a lot of weight.

When he saw Minna, his hand trembled: "Ming... Minna? Oh my God, the God of Light is above! You... How did you end up here?! ”

Minna pounced, hugged him and cried twice. Suddenly remembering that someone outside the door might hear it, he hurriedly put away his grief and said, "Grandpa Marshall, someone is chasing me, they are outside..."

"Those people at the door are looking for you?" Marshall gasped, swallowed, and pulled her behind a pillar next to her. Push down your head. "Don't move, I'll figure it out."

Minna obediently crouched behind the pillar. Watching him go outside the temple and whisper a few words to the young monks, he turned back to the seat in front of him and sat still, looking at her with concern from time to time.

Soon, the door opened again, and into entered, an elderly monk, dressed in a white robe, with elegant patterns embroidered with silver thread at the corners of his clothes, and a kind smile curled into the corners of his mouth. He nodded gracefully to Marshall: "It's been a long time. ”

Marshall hurriedly got up and said, "Hello, Father Luke, thank you so much for what happened last time, Madame is unwell and cannot come, but she asked me to thank you." "Minna's body moves, is her mother sick?

The Father Luke turned her head to look at her, and she hurriedly retracted her neck and obediently kept quiet.

Father Luke turned back and smiled, "You don't have to be so polite. Shaw - Mrs. Caddow is fine, right? I've heard about your family, so don't worry too much, the God of Light will bless the innocent and condemn the true sinners. ”

"Thank you, you are such a kind man." Marshall bent down and kissed his robe, and then looked up and asked in a very respectful tone, "I wonder if you know who is gathered outside the temple?" Recently, there have been unknown people peeping at the house, and it seems that the people outside seem to be from the same place. In order to avoid the entanglement of those people, the lady had to move to a temporary residence, but if they found out, there would be no more peace. Father, I have the cheekiness to ask you, will you let me leave through a door that is not known to outsiders? ”

Father Luke pondered for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Well, if you don't mind, you can leave through the small side door that transports grain and charcoal, only the people in the temple know about it at that time." The temple is also very troubled by the people guarding the door, and I hope they will not add any more trouble to us. ”

"Thank you, Father." Marshall kissed his robe again, then watched him leave respectfully.

Minna jumped out from behind the pillar: "He seems to have found me!" ”

"It doesn't matter, the priest is very kind, he won't talk nonsense." Marshall picked Minna up and walked to the small door behind the left side of the altar, "Come with me, this leads to the kitchen and the warehouse, and from here, those people won't find out!" ”

Minna nodded, following Marshall's closely, meeting only a handful of people along the way, and all of them turned a blind eye to them. She was thinking strange when she heard Marshall say, "It must have been the priest's instructions, don't worry about it, come quickly!" ”

Minna hurriedly followed him out through a small side door, then hid in seclusion, waited for Marshall to find a half-used carriage, and then got into the carriage and returned to the main road.

She quietly looked out the car window, and was relieved to see that the big men were still waiting at the entrance of the temple, and she didn't realize that she had left.

The carriage took her to the left and right, and soon came to a quiet residential area, parked in front of a row of buildings. It seems that the houses here are built uniformly, all of them are three-story houses in the same place, but the gap between the buildings is extremely narrow, less than the length of Chengren's arm's arm. Facing the street, there were only two small flower beds and a low doorpost that could be used to tie the carriage.

Minna looked around cautiously before jumping out of the carriage and following Marshall into the house as fast as she could, closing the door before relieving herself. Looking left and right, the room is a little narrow, and the room is messy, and the boxes on the ground are obviously just moved in, and even the luggage has not been sorted out. She suddenly remembered what Marshall had just said, and turned back in surprise: "Is it Mom?" Mom here? She ran upstairs and circled around, but found no sign of Dora.

Marshall was also puzzled: "Strange... It's still there in the morning..."He smiled at Minna: "Maybe I just went out, don't worry, I'll be back soon." ”

"Isn't mom sick?" Minna's eyes rolled, "Could it be that it's just an excuse?" ”

"I'm a little unwell, but I'm sad about your father..."

"Daddy?!" Minna suddenly remembered what Marshall said when she prayed, "What's wrong with Daddy?" You said he escaped without a hitch? What the hell is going on?! ”

(Out of a long way, some rushed, and even later, sorry...) Tomorrow's condolences will be stopped for a day as usual, but I'll try to make a big chapter the day after tomorrow... Sorry, sorry)
