105 Christmas-2
After the epidemic, everyone is struggling to survive, the holidays? This concept has been erased from everyone's minds, not to mention the holidays, even today, months, days, days and days, I'm afraid no one counts, it's better to think about how to get the next meal out of the zombie-ridden convenience store! Suddenly, one night I had to get together according to Father Kang's arrangement to listen to him ramble on the Bible, then divide the sacrament, the bread and so on, and then sit around and eat some good thanksgiving for God's gifts, so that these people who have gone through the ordeal have a little bit of emotion and joy in addition to the novelty.
As for the sadness, either force it in the bottom of your heart, or leave it behind first, no matter what, today is Christmas!
The cabin on the lowest deck of the ro-ro wheel has always been transparent front and rear loading trucks, so it is wide and tall enough, and more than 200 people gather together without being too crowded, just enough to have a Christmas party, Father Kang has not been long-winded, he knows that the hardships of preaching have to penetrate into the hearts of everyone present little by little, and now a party is just to let everyone have an impression of the concept of Christmas, and give everyone a chance to get together to chat and relax.
After all, it is a festival, Bao Jing took the opportunity to announce that the location of the new home is determined, and there are two or three days of news of the relocation of the camp, but also want to let the old and young in the camp relax, so try to make the scene as good as possible, usually not hungry or about to expire food reserves are taken out to share with everyone with Bao Jing's approval, although the total number is not much, but there are many types, there are dozens of kinds, Coke is bad for the children who lack snacks on weekdays, even adults, most of them also pick up some dried bayberry, hawthorn slices, Chew two persimmon cakes or something, and make a show.
Father Kang finished his Bible teachings, and immediately became a marginal character in the room, of course, he was not angry, and he would not deliberately pull anyone to talk about the Bible endlessly at this time, so he walked around the crowd twice with a glass of water and said hello, and in the face of these mediocre civilians, he did his duty, and he turned his attention to the people he valued. After all, in the last days, the mass foundation of the church should be done well, and it is more important to win over the elite, in Father Kang's opinion, if Bao Jing and Mei Lao Er can be baptized, it is naturally good, the worst, that Wang Chen, who has good shooting skills, can be regarded as a merit to be religious, but Father Kang turned around twice and did not find Wang Chen's figure.
Wang Chen was not interested in such a party, took the initiative to ask to go to the sentry, ran to the cockpit and held the 63 style to look at the moon, and by the way, he used a satellite phone to complain to Sheng Qingru, a few days later, thanks to Father Kang's medicine, Wang Chen's wound has recovered two or three points, the bruises and shallow injuries on the body surface do not need to be detailed, and the wounds on the left leg and left abdomen have also improved significantly, but the itching and pain are inevitable, which always affects Wang Chen's sleep, fortunately, Wang Chen is used to this kind of thing, and even sleep is a small section of separate sleep, Coupled with the special physique of his young man, he did not yawn all day long with dark circles under his eyes.
When Father Kang found him, Wang Chen was thinking about leaving his post automatically and returning to the cabin to rest, seeing that the priest obviously wanted to talk to him, out of politeness and smearing the potion prepared by the priest, Wang Chen moved his buttocks and gave the priest a place to sit down.
Wrapped in a cold-proof blanket, Father Kang was not polite, handed Wang Chen a cup of two cups of hot sugar water in his hand, sat directly beside Wang Chen, held the sugar water in both hands and took a small sip, smiled contentedly, turned his head to see that Wang Chen also drank a sip of water, Father Kang asked, "Why don't you go to the Christmas party?" ”
"I made an appointment with my girlfriend to talk." Wang Chen didn't shy away from anything, and lit up the satellite phone in his hand.
Some things, hiding and tucking up but arousing suspicion, after agreeing with Sheng Qingru in advance on some code words, Wang Chen will no longer shy away from others when he contacts Sheng Qingru again, anyway, now the satellite phone is free and open, and there are people who are willing to listen to it when they have time and power, and they can talk for as long as they want. Coupled with Sui Cui's fueling mouth, within two days, the whole camp knew that Wang Chen was in a telephone relationship with a girl hundreds of kilometers away, and derived several bitter versions of the two acquaintances and separation, Wang Chen neither admitted nor refuted this, and let these idlers use their imagination, which can be regarded as adding a little talk to everyone in the camp after dinner.
"It's good to be young, love, it's really nostalgic." Father Kang sighed.
"Aren't you and your sister-in-law also very affectionate?"
"The two of us? has been together for more than ten years, and love has long become family affection. ”
"That's not bad, at least your family of three is reunited, how many people ......" Wang Chen felt a little frustrated when he said this, so he simply shut up and didn't say anything.
Father Kang was waiting for Wang Chen to say something dejected, and asked directly through his words: "Actually, when I listen to you, I always unconsciously bring a bit of despair, it is said that you are so young, you should not be like this with all hands and feet, is there something on your mind?" ”
Of course, Wang Chen couldn't mention any net-casting tasks to Father Kang, let alone the experience of missing his father Wang Yefei twice, so he simply asked, "I remember that the priest can't get married?" Why do you even have children? ”
"Ha, after so many days, someone finally questioned my identity, in fact, my priest is not a real priest, what about me, before the outbreak of the epidemic, I can only be regarded as a relatively devout parishioner, but after the outbreak of the second epidemic, the camp established by the church lacked manpower, Father Zheng promoted honest disciples like me to priests, and let us voluntarily choose to stay in the camp to help or come out to preach."
"And that's how you came out? Still with a wife and children? Not afraid that they are in danger? ”
"I'm going to use the theory of religion to evaluate this sermon, such as dedication, God bless or something, you must think I'm mentally abnormal, the fact is that Father Zheng cautiously evaluated, now is the coldest time in winter, the zombie activity is the lowest, and the clergy move around, unless you meet a real madman, such as the hungry ghost you eliminated before, no one will embarrass a priest, even if he is not religious."
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Chen had to admit that Father Kang was right, the Chinese people have always seen the temple to worship the Buddha and see the church to draw crosses, worship ghosts and gods and stay away, even if it is the end of the world, I am afraid that no one will deliberately embarrass a religious personnel, and those who are a little superstitious have to entertain them well, in case God and his old man open his eyes and give some good luck to avoid the bite of the zombies?
"Then you chose to come to the old high camp because we eliminated the hungry ghosts?"
"On the one hand, in fact, when we came here, there were four of us in total, and a new priest came with us, but he stayed in the Yinjiahe camp to preach, and it was Li Mengfei who suggested that I come over, after all, you lack people here who know how to treat."
"Oh? You didn't mention this to Sister Pao when you came? ”
"What's there to mention about this? Doesn't that mean telling Sister Pao that because there are regular doctors in the camp, they don't look down on me as a half-pharmacist, so they sent me here? How humiliating is that? ”
Wang Chen laughed, this Father Kang is kind and approachable in addition to preaching, and he is quite funny when he blacks himself.
After another sip of hot sugar water, Father Kang saw that Wang Chen was slightly relaxed, and repeated the old words: "Can you tell me about your heart now?" ”
After going through the troubles in his mind, Wang Chen could only pick the simplest and clearest and said: "I'm afraid of death, really, priest, when I think of this world, I may not live for more than a few years, and I can't be interested in anything......"
