Chapter 31: Father Kerver's Shock
readx; Peter: By the time they left the Misty Jungle, it was nearly evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's also strange to say, as soon as they step out of the range of the jungle, the strange fog disappears, but as soon as they enter the jungle, the white fog will appear in front of them.
Peter and Wren discussed the cause of the formation of this thick fog, but unfortunately neither of them knew anything about the bad conditions here, and after discussing for a long time, they did not come to a useful conclusion.
Eva walked at the end of the group, she didn't participate in the discussion between the two of them, and she didn't understand the discussion. She was still replaying the thrill of the fight with the giant bear in her mind, and she was seriously thinking about what could be improved, and what was not considered at the time and did not seem to be a very suitable choice now. She thought about it as she learned her lesson, and then said to herself in her heart, "Eva, next time you face a situation like this, you must not make these mistakes again." It's our luck that this bear is clumsy, but it's not an excuse for us to be lazy. She clenched her fists in her heart, deciding that she would double down on James when she returned to the convent.
By the time the group returned to the Taji gathering point, it was already completely dark, Peter took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then pouted at Wren and said helplessly: "It's seven twenty o'clock in the evening." I don't know if I'll be able to go in at this time. With that, he looked at the closed gate and shrugged his shoulders.
Wren squinted his eyes for a long time, then pointed to the guard standing at the door and said to Peter: "Aren't the guards there, you can just try it, I guess you should be able to get in." ”
So Peter walked over to the guard's astonished gaze, and the two gatekeepers blinked vigorously to suspect that they were looking at the wrong person, and they made sure again and again before they opened the door and one of the guards trotted all the way to inform Father Cvir that he had gone.
Peter looked at the distant figure of the guard in surprise, and he helplessly raised his forehead to Eva and Wren and sighed, "I originally wanted to go back to the hotel directly, but now we are going to go directly to the church to meet Father Kerver." Hey, it's really painful. He shook his head and sighed.
Eva pursed her lips when she heard Peter's emotion, hugged Emma directly from his arms, and said to him, "Go and be afraid of anything." I don't believe Fr. Kerver can do anything to us in the church. With that, he left the place and headed for the church.
Seeing this, Peter and Wren had no choice but to follow Eva, and the three of them came to the church where Father Kervir was.
As soon as I arrived at the church, I saw the guard who was announcing something with Sister Christina. Christina looked impatient, she was about to interrupt the guard in front of her, who was running over and talking nonsense for some reason, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Peter and the three of them walking slowly from a distance with Emma.
Christina's eyes widened in disbelief as she struggled to maintain a semblance of calm and waved at the guards to leave.
She waited until Peter came before her before she smiled and said to them, "The priest and I are very worried about you, and it has been more than a day, and the priest has just informed me that I will tell him as soon as I have any news of you. Now that you have returned safely, now come with me to Father Kerver. With that, she turned and walked into the church door.
Peter looked at the nun in front of him who was trying to maintain her manners, although she had a worried and relieved expression on her face, but just now he had seen the shock and confusion in the other person's eyes. Peter pouted, too lazy to talk to the other party, and strode into the church.
Christina led them to the reception room where they had been the last time, served them a cup of tea, bowed and left.
Peter found a random place to sit and take a sip of the cup of tea in front of him, and the sailor coughed repeatedly. After he finally calmed down, he pursed his lips and put the teacup away from home. The dim room was filled with the sound of each other's breathing.
When Father Kerver opened the door, he saw three people in the room, and a little girl, all with their eyes closed, not knowing what they were thinking.
He smiled and raised his hand to stop the other party from trying to get up, and only when he sat on the chair in the middle did he take a sip of the tea in front of him, coughed a few times and cleared his throat before he spoke: "I am very happy to know that you have returned safely." I'm worried about you in the past two days since you left. In the misty jungle, you already know that there is a fog everywhere, and there are many dangerous giant bears, I didn't expect you to complete the mission so quickly and come back, I am sincerely happy for you. So how many herbs did you pick?" he said, looking interested.
Peter kept looking at Father Kver's huge bald head, which could glisten in such a dimly lit room. It wasn't until Eva touched him quietly that he came to his senses.
Peter first expressed his gratitude to Father Kerver, and then gestured to Wren on the side, who handed the backpack he had been holding carefully to Christina.
Christina resisted the urge to look through the backpack and respectfully handed the backpack to Father Kerver with both hands. The priest smiled at her with satisfaction, and opened his backpack nonchalantly. His eyes suddenly widened, staring at the nearly thirty herbs in front of him with a shocked expression. He gasped for breath as he pouted, then looked at Peter, who was trying to restrain his smile, and asked, "How did you get so many?" It couldn't be, and our best guide had never picked so many herbs in the Misty Jungle. Unless you run to the territory of the Giant Bear and dig it out. But I'm curious how you managed to escape from the bears. Father Kevel didn't expect that the three people in front of him had slaughtered the giant bear at all, and there was still a need to flee for their lives, and in his mind, the three half-grown children could only look like they were going to die when they saw the giant bear.
Peter smiled patiently, and instead of answering Father Kerver's question, he said, "We don't know this very well, but we just picked up so much as we walked." Later, I remembered what you had told me to go back without going any further. We didn't see the giant bear or anything, so we probably missed it. Amen. After saying that, he reverently drew a cross on his chest.
Father Kerver twitched the corners of his mouth to resist the urge to scold, and he exhaled a depressed breath and said to Peter and them with a smile: "In that case, you are very tired from a hard day, rest early and we will talk tomorrow." Without waiting for Peter to reply, he hurried out of the room.
When Father Kerver returned to his room, he angrily swept everything on the desk to the floor, and he roared vigorously to vent his anger, and it took a long time for him to calm down.
