Chapter Forty-Three: Dog's Head Gold
And then came a voice that was unusually familiar to me.
"Mother-"
This painful, hoarse voice!
It's Alain's voice!
I secretly said that I was not good, so I quickly ran closer to take a look.
At this time, I saw Sister White desperately stopping Alain behind her, and there were dozens of people behind them, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Alain seemed to be in great pain, and desperately tried to squeeze into the Rose Hall, but fortunately he was stopped by Sister Bai, otherwise he would have been hit by the falling tiles!
Father Garser, covered in loess, straightened his back, and was talking to a fresh face.
But the way he spoke surprised me!
At this moment, his face was pale, his mouth opened and closed widely, and his emotions seemed extremely excited!
I once heard my mother tell me that this German priest studied Western medicine from his ancestors, and he was very rigid in his life, and it was rare to see him happy or angry on weekdays.
Because his face was the same as wood, Li Xiaohua also gave him a nickname, called "Wooden Donkey".
Now this "wooden donkey" has actually changed sex, this is really the sun coming out of the west!
I hurried closer and came to the edge of the Rose Church to hear what Father Garser was saying.
He took a piece of paper and roared angrily at a person: "Qiu Baidong, our church has signed a fifty-year lease contract with you, and this church is not something you can take away if you want to!" ”
This person named Qiu Baidong listened to his words, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lord Yang, I don't have to sell this piece of land!" I also had no choice but to do it! ”
Father Garser's face turned pale and asked, "Good! You can sell the land, but what right do you have to deal with the property of our church? ”
Qiu Baidong pointed to the collapsed rose hall, and said angrily: "Lord Yang, you came from behind!" No wonder you don't! These earthen houses are my ancestral property, and the government arranged to rent them to you during the Qing Dynasty, I don't want to do it! ”
"Although you have repaired a few places and built a bell tower, after all, this house is still mine! This lease contract is clearly written! ”
"It's the Republic of China now! I'm in a hurry and need money! So sell it! ”
"Sold?" Father Jiachen asked solemnly: "You are going to sell, and we should have priority!" Who are you selling to? ”
At this time, a yin and yang strange and extremely arrogant voice suddenly came.
"Sell it to me!"
I followed the sound and saw a group of people walking up behind Qiu Baidong, all of them were strong men dressed as family members, and these men were clustered around a fat man with a big belly.
The fat man pushed Qiu Baidong away and stood in front of Father Garse.
Father Garser seemed a little uneasy, staring at him without speaking.
The fat man raised his head against the tall nose of the German, pointed to the rose hall next to him, and said with a strange smile: "This house is sold to me!" Do you still want to fight me, a foreign devil? ”
Father Garser lifted the glasses on his nose, straightened his voice, and asked, "How much?" Sell the land of the Orchid Garden to our church, and God will bless you with your compassion......"
"Sold to you?"
The fat man smiled, raised a slap, stretched out two fingers and shook it, only to hear him say arrogantly: "Our Xinfa meat shop has two hundred oceans, can you afford it?" ”
Father Garser turned his head to look at Qiu Baidong, his lips trembling and asked him, "The rent of this orchid garden land is only five oceans a year, how can it be so expensive!" ”
Qiu Baidong patted his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm not lucky!" Lose in the gambling house to this time rich two hundred oceans! How can I have two hundred oceans! He said, "Use this land to pay off your debts!" So I ......."
"I'm desperate too......" Qiu Baidong said resignedly, with a look of guilt on his face.
After hearing this, Father Garser sighed, turned back to Sister Bai and asked, "Sister Bai, how much money do we have in our account?" ”
Sister Bai was full of embarrassment, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Father, the expenses of our three churches in the diocese of Tingzhou are only 50 oceans a year, and although we have received some donations in recent years, there are many children in the nursery, and the expenses are becoming more and more unsustainable......
"Now there are only twenty-three dollars left in the book......"
"Hey, hey, hey......" The fat man named Shi Fugui paced out and shouted arrogantly: "If I don't have money, I will demolish the house!" If you want to keep your home, you'll have to pay for it! ”
"But do you have two hundred oceans? Have it? ”
The fat man then shouted loudly: "Not only will I demolish this broken church, but I will also bulldoze and enclose all the cemeteries in this orchid garden, and turn them all into pigsty and pig killing farms!" ”
When the people around him heard this, they burst into tears: "Don't! Our ancestral graves are here! Young Master, you're okay! ”
"Those ownerless cemeteries are even more pitiful, without this orchid garden, they really become ownerless and lonely souls......"
Father Garser and Sister White bowed their heads even more sadly, and stood there dumbfounded.
"Young Master Shi, you can't do such a thing that lacks morality!" And the people were crying and pleading.
"I don't want to either," Shi Fugui spread his hands and smiled weirdly, "But do you have any money?" Have it? ”
When everyone is at a loss.
"I have—"
I shouted, and immediately ran over and stood in front of Shi Fugui.
Shi Fugui looked me up and down, pointed at me and smiled weirdly: "You have?" Just you? Can you have two hundred oceans by a Hanako? ”
I was puzzled when I heard this, and quickly looked myself up and down, only to see that I was wearing Li Xiaohua's shabby monk's robe at this time, and my face was dirty after the toss of the evil last night.
I suddenly understood, it turned out that when this rich man saw me like this, he thought I was called Hanako.
At this time, Shi Fugui and the family behind him pointed at me and laughed.
"A stinky begging for food is also here to mess around......"
My eyes gurgled and I suddenly thought of a ghost idea, so I grinned: "Isn't it just two hundred oceans!" Call Hanako I have it! ”
Shi Fugui was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked me: "Your name is Huazi, where did you get the two hundred oceans?" ”
I touched my head and said with a smile: "My little brother also hit the shit luck...... A few days ago, I stayed overnight in the land temple of this orchid garden, and I picked up a piece of dog's head gold ......"
Then I said something that stunned everyone present.
I smiled and stretched out a slap and shook five fingers.
"The pawnshop said that this piece of dog's head gold is worth five hundred oceans!"
