Chapter 144: Stealing Life (14)
mentioned this ancient Taiping Town above, and also said that its geographical location is extremely superior, so the people of ancient Taiping Town have a lot of money in their hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The corresponding abundance of material life, people will begin to meet the spiritual pursuit, and there was no fun at that time, except for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which was to play in the garden and visit the kiln.
The ancient Taiping Town has developed waterways and land routes, so the peddlers and pawns who come and go are to put together the kiln sisters from the north and south of the mountain, all kinds of everything, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dazzling array of flowers, but of course, the premise is that you want to pay the silver money with a clear price.
After satisfying the carnal desire, this spiritual thirst is also indispensable, so another major feature of this ancient Taiping Town is the pear garden quyi.
If the passers-by who are running outside can listen to the tune of their hometown when they are resting, it will feel much more desirable than the nectar of a long drought.
Because there are many passers-by in this mountain, Haibei, so the requirements for this pear orchard are also a lot higher, first of all, this repertoire must be enough, miscellaneous enough, and then the singing and lyrics must be good. It is precisely because of these many requirements that there are many pear orchards in Taiping Town, not to mention the scale, there are more than a dozen of them just to say that there are fewer of them who beat the gong.
Ciren's troupe has become one of the best troupes in Taiping Town due to its old age and profound heritage.
As soon as the three madmen and the five ghost puppets passed the city gate, they were immediately attracted by this Taiping Town, only to see that the street was about two carriages wide, and the streets were full of dazzling businesses, what pharmacies, taverns, teahouses, and pedestrians on the road were even more eye-catching, and the three madmen even saw a group of strange-looking people in this crowd, all of them were more than one meter eight, blonde hair and blue eyes, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, wearing a black linen cloak, and a small black round hat on his head, which looked very weird, And the strangest thing is their behavior, I saw that those people each held a black book in their hands, as if begging to meet people to talk, this passerby saw them as if they had seen a plague god scattered and avoided, the three madmen only felt that these people were like evil spirits running out of that hell, trying to suck human blood.
Seeing the three madmen looking at those people in a daze, the five ghosts and Taoists came up and said: "These people are all foreign devils, and I don't know where they come from, every day they always hold a broken cross and say some bird language that people don't understand, I heard others say that these are from a distant country, it seems that they are Persians, or some missionary came, and I don't know what kind of cult it is, I only know that one of the words they often say in their mouths is Amen, and I don't know what is good about the door. ”
After listening to the five ghost Taoists, the three madmen didn't understand too much, they just felt that these people didn't look like a good thing, and when they saw them walking on the street, they were safe, but they didn't bother to take care of them and continue to hurry.
Because he always felt that the nightmare was like a bad sign, like a warning from God in advance, like being on the back mountain, although the five ghost Daoists had already told him that it was a good omen, but the three madmen were still afraid that something would happen to Ciren, after all, the heart of the young man Huaichun was like that.
I saw the three madmen turn their heads and say affirmatively to the five ghost Taoists: "These people look like the evil ghosts who have just escaped from that hell, they are definitely not good things, and then look at the strange clothes they are wearing, if they are not evil ghosts, they must be some kind of thieves and thieves who have stepped on it." ”
There was no comment on the words of the three madmen and the five ghosts, after all, at that time, the Chinese people knew nothing about Western missionaries, and it was like a fantasy.
"Good apprentice for the teacher, first find a place to stay, clean up, earn some silver taels, eat a full meal, and then go to your business."
"It's good!" The three madmen nodded in agreement.
It's just that the master and the two didn't walk a few steps before they happened to meet the missionary who came from the front, only to hear the missionary say in a not very fluent Chinese: "Uncle, we are all children of God, and now God is pat me and I will make you drink, you ......."
"Master, they actually call me uncle? What a mess this is! Are they like this in their hometown? The three madmen said with a smile and a cry.
"Apprentice, don't care so much for now, see it as a teacher." As he spoke, the five ghost daoists pushed the three madmen back and avoided their wings behind him, and then said to the foreigner: "You are wrong, I am not your uncle, I am your father." ”
"Haha, master, master, you are really amazing!"
The three madmen covered their stomachs and laughed, they didn't expect these five ghost Taoists to be so old, and they were as fond of teasing people as a child.
However, the missionary also seemed to understand what the five ghost Taoists were saying, and his face was blue and red for a while, as if he wanted to curse, but as soon as he touched the silver cross ornament on his chest, he immediately calmed down, and only heard the missionary continue: "No, no, no, our father is God, and we are all his children, Amen! ”
"I see, I see, you mean we're brothers, right?" The five ghost Taoists looked suddenly enlightened.
"Yes, yes, we are Bu Ru Ah Ya, we are brothers!" When the missionary heard what the Five Ghost Daoists said, he laughed and opened his arms to hug the Five Ghost Daoists.
It's just that it's okay to talk and chat, and as soon as he moved, the five ghost daoists immediately pushed back with the three madmen and pushed the ghost puppet up.
It is said that the missionary is tall and big, and he hugged the ghost puppet as if he was hugging a little daughter-in-law, and he didn't care whether the ghost puppet also hugged him, but he only knew that he was stupid at the three madmen and the five ghost Taoists.
The three madmen who watched it only felt strange in their hearts, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies, and muttered in their hearts: "You are so stupid, you can be so happy with a corpse." ”
In a blink of an eye, the three madmen saw that the missionary let go of the ghost puppet and said to the puppet very sincerely: "Brother, you are too cold, you need to wear more clothes and bless you in the name of the Father and the Son." ”
"Ahem! Ahem, ahem, he's fine, it's just that he accidentally contracted some wind chill and doesn't get in the way. The Five Ghost Daoist said, the fingers behind his back moved slightly, and the ghost puppet also retreated behind him.
Seeing that the missionary had finally found someone who was willing to listen to him, he wanted to stick to it and continue to carry forward the spirit of the Lord.
"No need, no need, we still have to hurry, don't delay you!" Although this missionary is a foreigner, how could the Five Ghost Daoist not understand the meaning in his heart, and immediately shirk it, and the three madmen also took advantage of the situation and pulled the Five Ghost Daoist away.
"Brother, we are all children of God, He will watch over us in heaven, may the name of the Son and the Holy Husband bless you, I ......"
But after walking a long way, the missionary's voice followed behind him.
The three madmen suddenly realized something, and suddenly leaned into the ears of the five ghost Daoists and whispered something......
