It all started one morning.

Thanks to the relatively developed business of Jiuquan Town, Jiuquan Town has been electrified. However, it is only limited to the wealthy businessmen in the town, or the squire class is eligible to use electricity.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the townspeople of Jiuquan Town still live a life of sunrise and daily income, and the rules of life mainly depend on the rising and setting of the sun.

On this morning, the sun had just come to life, and it was shining golden patches over the land. Most of the people have already started their day's work, and the wealthy families have also begun to walk birds and dogs every day, and the streets are crowded.

I could only hear a solemn "Hallelujah~~" from the east side of the town, and a long procession slowly entered Jiuquan Town along an east-west street in the town.

At the head of the line was an old man with a kappa hairstyle and a coffee-colored cape-like robe. The old man had a white beard and hair, but he was in good spirits, holding a thick Bible in his left hand and a cross scepter in his right hand. The sacred expression on his face, combined with the shining silver cross hanging on his chest, was extremely sacred.

Behind the old man was a group of monks in burgundy tunic robes, in two rows, with Bibles in their hands, chanting and singing carols that no one could understand.

Far behind them was the carriage they had hired, with large and small bags of goods on it, and those who didn't know thought it was a caravan following them.

"Awesome!"

This kind of battle, of course, also alarmed Wang Hao. After flying up to the room and standing on the wall to observe for a while, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

You can think of it with your toes, and such a sacred and solemn appearance ceremony is specially designed.

Why?

Early in the morning, as the sun rose, the procession entered from the east side of the town along East and West Streets. In other words, when the townspeople came out to see the excitement, they were actually looking from west to east.

At this time, the sun that had just risen and glowed softly became the perfect backdrop for this missionary team, reinforcing their sacred image in the hearts of the townspeople.

Therefore, for the townspeople of Jiuquan Town, this team is solemn and mysterious. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone in the town.

The procession of missionaries made their way through the streets and alleys to their destination...... An abandoned church that has been closed for twenty years.

Immediately, their team was divided into several groups, some cleaned up the scene, some directed the carriage to stop and carry things from the carriage, some posted banners with various interactive propaganda slogans everywhere, and one of them climbed directly to the top bell tower.

Although there are many people, they are quiet and orderly, not at all like people who have come to this place for the first time.

After a while, everything was put to a halt, and the leading old priest took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then beckoned the people in the bell tower to ring the bell.

"Bell~~Bell~~Bell~~Bell~~Bell~~Bell~~Bell~~~Bell~~"

Seven bells in a row.

Although Jiuquan Town is not small, it is really not big, at least the bell can cover the entire Jiuquan Town. This time, except for the crowd that had been following the missionaries to watch the excitement, the church completely attracted the attention of all the townspeople in Jiuquan Town.

As the townsfolk flocked to the church, the first thing that caught their eye was the banners hanging in the streets and alleys with slogans such as "Believe in the Lord and have eternal life."

Then you can hear the old monk standing on a high place and speaking loudly: "I am here again today in the service of the Lord Almighty, and lead you from sin, this world is too terrible...... Lord, we are powerless without your merciful help, accept our humble gifts and prayers......"

As he spoke, the old monk opened his hands and made a gesture of embrace, while a group of young monks next to him distributed the gifts they had brought to the townspeople.

Gifts are not anything of value, fire, soap, oil, cloth and some of the clothes of foreigners, the distribution of some small daily necessities, but in the eyes of many people is a very novelty.

Although some of the townspeople of Jiuquan Town have not seen it, or there are many people who use these things, why not take advantage of them when there is a bargain?

“…… May the Lord be with me, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. ”

As the old priest finished his speech, the distribution of gifts on the side also came to an end. People were happily discussing with each other that God could get so many good things. And those who did not receive the gift also looked at the person who received the gift with envy, while arguing that the next opportunity must come early.

"Hey, what are you doing! Churches can't be reopened! As a group of missionaries clanged to break the wooden planks nailed to the church door, an angry shout stopped them.

The other side.

"Tibbs, Tibbs!" Anne, who came over early in the morning, saw that Wang Hao had also come to the scene, waved her hand happily, and greeted her happily.

Facts have proved that not everyone can play this kind of thing casually.

Wang Hao was still watching the awkward conversation between the old monk named Father Wu and Uncle Jiu. Suddenly, it felt as if someone was calling me, and then I reacted and opened a trumpet called 'Tibbs'. Somehow, Wang Hao always has no way to bring in this role well, even if he has been called like this I don't know how many times, but he still can't react in time.

"Hi, Annie." Wang Hao looked at Anne, who was dressed in a beautiful dress, and responded with a smile.

"Anyway, it's so lively here, I feel like all the people in Jiuquan Town have come here." Anne looked at Wang Hao, smiled, and the ruby necklace around her neck became more and more dazzling: "It's just that I didn't expect you to come here too." But, Tibbs, do you believe in God? ”

"I don't believe it." Wang Hao shook his head when he heard this, and saw that Anne seemed to be particularly concerned about the affairs of the church, so he asked, "What about Anne, are you a believer?" ”

"Yes, when I was in school, I went to a church school. I was baptized at school, and later I was recommended by the school to study abroad! Anne said, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she hugged Wang Hao and said, "Didn't Tiebs have contact with the church when he was studying abroad?" Why don't you join the religion too? I'm here to be your referrer. ”

"No, when I was studying abroad, the school taught us to believe in science." Feeling the soft touch coming from his arm, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. But faith is not a trip, you can't just go, let alone a meal, you can't just do it.

"But I'm quite interested in Catholicism, and if I have the chance, I can try to get in touch with this Father Wu."
