Chapter Twenty-Four: Departure to Taji
readx; It wasn't until Father Eddie had finished officiating at Coloso's funeral that Peter and his party were finally able to rest for a while. At this time www.biquge.info it was already approaching dusk, and everyone left the cemetery and returned to the church. Peter walked this side and said something to Wren beside him.
As for Emma, she had already fallen asleep in Eva's arms after a tiring day. She had a lovely finger in her mouth, and she had a few vague dreams occasionally.
Peter and the others discussed it and decided to leave for the next meeting point in two days, and Father Eddie supported their decision. In addition, he specially found a map for Peter to put away carefully, and Peter hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Father Eddie shook his head and said to them, "No, I'll do you a little bit of good for myself. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible, I guess it will take a long time if you meet Father Kerver. He could even make you stay for three months. So be careful not to miss the time. After saying that, he sighed, and the whole person seemed to have a trace of old look.
Peter smiled and did not speak, although he was a little worried about his future life, but his face did not show it. On the contrary, at this time, he knew more about hiding his inner uneasiness, and if he showed it, perhaps Wren and Eva would be very worried.
At night in Eva's room, Emma wakes up and asks Eva questions with wide eyes. Eva replied patiently with a smile on her face. When Peter pushed the door open and came in, he saw such a warm picture. He felt a glimmer of warmth and hope for life in his heart. Eva saw him nodding and put Emma in her arms on the side of the bed, Emma pouted and twisted her body dissatisfiedly, but she was very sensible and did not disturb the two of them crawling on the bed to play.
Peter stepped aside, took a chair, and sat down crookedly. He smiled bitterly at Eva before he said, "Just now, Father Eddie and I looked at the map that Father Eddie gave us, and we found that we have to go to the next gathering point for more than half a month at the earliest, and it may take a month if it is slow. After speaking, he shook his head vigorously, looking incredulous.
Eva listened quietly to Peter's words before smiling, and she said in a flat tone, "If there is a treasure trove under every gathering point, I don't think it's normal." Let's think about why only the three of us can know the monastery's shocking secrets. ”
Peter pursed his lips and sighed, "We don't have a clue now, we just know that everything has to do with the Redemption House. However, we don't know what the existence of the Redemption House is, how can we know the truth?" he seemed to have a trace of dissatisfaction with the current life of knowing nothing and only passively accepting, and his tone was more excited and whispered. Emma, who was playing with herself, was startled, and quickly climbed into Eva's arms and tried to hide herself, and after a while she didn't hear any movement, she sneaked a glance at Peter.
Peter was amused by Emma's cute expression, and he left the room after talking to Eva.
The next day there was nothing to say, and the three of them went out early in the morning to help some people in need in the small Puji gathering point. The only difference is that this time they have a little tail behind them, and every time the people in the village see Emma, they will come up and touch her head, and hand her a snack or two, biscuits, candy or something.
Emma happily hid them carefully, and showed a big smile to everyone, and thanked everyone sweetly.
Then she would take a look at the sweets and the like she received and give them to Eva Peter and the others, and then leave the rest for herself to eat later. Seeing Emma's sensible and well-behaved behavior, Eva couldn't help but hug her hard and kiss her tender little face. Emma smiled and twisted her little body to avoid Eva's ravage, but unfortunately she was too small, and the last satisfied face was honestly playing with her fingers in Eva's arms.
On this day, due to Emma's existence, the group was not as serious as usual, and finally they led Emma to play in a small gathering point with a beautiful landscape.
The laughter from Emma's smiling face soothed Peter's mood a little, and he forgot about Father Kerver's threat for a moment and enjoyed the good time in peace. Emma's little face was flushed with excitement, and she only felt that this day was the happiest, of course, it would be better if her parents could be with her. But now this kind of life is also something she didn't expect before, so happy, so happy, so beautiful.
However, the good times were short-lived, and the group returned to the main lodging after it was completely dark.
After having dinner early, everyone went back to their respective rooms with their own concerns. Peter couldn't sleep that night in his bed. From time to time, he thought about his own childhood, and then compared them to Emma.
Thinking about it, he knew that he was really lucky, and his childhood was so warm and beautiful. Tears soaked the pillow, and he missed Uncle William and the old man.
Peter sighed, and the quilt was over his head, curled up motionless.
Early the next morning, Father Eddie left Father Peggy and headed for the next gathering point, where the foggy weather covered everyone's backs. After a short time it was gone, Father Eddie sighed and crossed his chest back to the chapel.
He returned to his study and sat down in his chair. After a long time, he said to himself: "Father Kerver, a confidant of Archbishop Brown. Responsible for the day-to-day management of the Taji gathering point. He was a humane and sanctimonious man and a prostitute, but he did not deal with it because of the prestige of Archbishop Brown. Bishop Fernandez, you can really find an opponent for Peter and them. Father Kerver isn't scary, it's Archbishop Brown and the people behind him who are scary. Let's hope Peter and the others have the best of luck. ”
Peter and his party walked carefully according to the map provided by Father Eddie, and from time to time there would be some unexpected situations, usually tossed by Emma. Every time Emma accidentally made a mistake, she would keep her head down and her red eyes and not say a word, so that everyone was not in the mood to scold her.
They walked for almost a month and finally arrived at the gathering point called Taji, mainly because it was too much of a delay to bring Emma.
