CHAPTER XIV
There are a lot of candles in the church of Fira. These candles are white, and most of them are placed in black trays on the wall as the main form of wall lamps. The interior of the church has no windows and is lit by candles.
"This is Ella, the daughter of the grocery store owner, and today her father and brother have gone to the city to buy goods, so let her deliver candles." The priest pointed to the girl who replaced the candle at the end of the corridor and said to Ye Hong.
Ye Hong followed his gaze to the end of the corridor, it was a young woman of medium height, with unremarkable facial features but a gentle face, wearing a linen-colored dress. As if sensing that someone was looking at her, Ella raised her head and bumped into Ye Hong's line of sight. She froze for two seconds, then lowered her head.
"Your room is on the north side," there is a small door at the end of the hallway, the door is open, and there is no wall lamp in this section due to the light outside. The three of them walked out of the door one after another, and there was a building on the north side of the church, which was connected to the church in the middle, but the two sides were separated.
There was also a door where they walked through the small door, and the priest led them there, inside was a dark red staircase, all the way up to the fourth floor, the priest walked out of the corridor, the corridor on this floor was semi-open, and outside the room there was only a walkway that could only accommodate two people walking side by side, next to it was a waist-high guardrail, there were no windows on it, and leaning against the guardrail to look down at a sparse wood, probably because of the evening, the woods looked gloomy.
"Here it is, this is your room." The priest led Ye Hong and Liu Qingfeng to a door, took out a bunch of keys, opened the door with one of them, and gave Ye Hong a key at the same time, "This is the key to this room." It's just that...... We didn't know you were bringing your friends and didn't prepare two rooms beforehand. You may need to wait a little longer for your friend, I'll go down and register first, and I'll arrange a room for your friend later. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but, don't bother, I'll be in a room with him." Ye Hong declined the priest's kindness and looked at the room. The room was small, with only a double bed and a desk, a row of simple bookshelves, a small wardrobe, and a one-person tall shelf for hanging clothes by the door.
"Yesterday there was a beautiful woman who said goodbye to this world forever, I need to help take care of her funeral, if you two have any questions or what you need, you can come to me, it is my honor to serve you." Seeing that the two had no intention of talking, the priest made an excuse to leave.
"Oh, I'm sorry, who is so unlucky?" Hearing that a young woman had passed away, thinking of this task, Ye Hong couldn't help but be curious.
"It's Miss Winnie, this beautiful young lady seems to have a relationship with you, would you like to see her one last time?"
"Of course, excuse me."
So the three of them turned back the way they came, and the priest led them into a room in a church. In the middle of the room was an open coffin, Ye Hong approached in the name of praying for the dead, and the woman lying among the many flowers looked very familiar.
"That picture in the study!"
