"I have a terminal illness, and the doctor said I have half a year to live at most. The priest knew that such words could not impress Luo Lie, and he exclaimed, "The seven-colored flowers have bloomed, and Alice's prophecy has all come true......

The door slowly opened, and Luo Lie, who had an indifferent expression, reappeared in front of him: "Simon, what's the point of telling these lies now?"

Father Simon blushed and said, "I didn't lie, I brought it, I brought it!"

Luo Lie still took him to his office, Simon coughed so badly that he had to take out his dirty handkerchief to cover his mouth, and the handkerchief was soon stained with fresh blood. He asked Luo Lie for a cup of boiling water, took out a brown medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a large handful of medicine, and then took it in one go.

Luo Lie looked at him, he was no longer the strong and energetic priest of the past, his straight waist began to hunch, his ruddy cheeks became yellow and sunken, he should be sick, and even his golden hair had completely turned gray and white. The years will spare no one, whether you have done good or bad things.

After Simon took the medicine, his spirit seemed to be better, he sat on the sofa, showed a friendly smile to Luo Lie and said: "I have lung cancer, it was too late to find out, the doctor said that the operation has no meaning, and said that I have at most half a year to live, which was three months ago." ”

Luo Lie's expression was unmoved, the other party's words did not arouse any sympathy from him, and it can be inferred from Simon's words that he only has three months left in his life at most.

Simon said: "I knew that day would come sooner or later, but instead of being afraid, I felt a sense of relief, and you know, Alice's death has always made me feel guilty. ”

Luo Lie lit a cigarette and tried his best to control his emotions, if the other party came this time just to babble these words, pray for his forgiveness, and get his own psychological comfort, then he should have come to the wrong place, Luo Lie said: "A father can actually sell his daughter!"

Simon said: "I don't have a choice, I don't want to, everyone thinks that Alice is possessed by demons......"

"That's enough!" Luo Lie angrily stopped him from continuing.

Simon nodded and said, "Believe it or not, I love her deeply, I keep everything from her childhood, after I got sick, some strange things happened, and all the things Alice used to tell me came true." ”

He opened the suitcase, took out a few photos from it tremblingly, and sent them to Luo Lie, but Luo Lie didn't reach out to pick them up, so Simon could only put the photos on the table.

Luo Lie picked up the photo, and when he saw everything on the photo, a pair of tiger eyes were round, revealing a stunned light.

Simon said: "The oak tree in front of the church was struck by lightning on the day of Alice's death and burned to death, but suddenly it came back to life, and in a short time it was even more leafy than before. ”

Luo Lie removed the photo, and the next photo was a large sea of roses. He was all too familiar with this place, the place where Alice was burned at the stake, and since the burning at the stake, this place has become a barren land, and no vegetation has grown.

Simon said: "I swear this picture is real, two months ago, suddenly it was full of roses, and I found a seven-colored flower in it." ”

Luo Lie looked at the next photo, he remembered that Alice had dreamed of growing a seven-colored flower since she was a child, but he thought that the seven-colored flower only existed in fairy tales, although the black and white photo could not restore the color of the seven-colored flower, but the shape of the seven-colored flower was almost exactly the same as Alice's description.

Simon said, "I see it...... I really saw it...... On the night of the blooming of the seven-colored flowers, I saw Alice......" His voice trembled visibly, and at the mention of his daughter's name, tears could not help but fall, and the excitement of his emotions made him cough again.

Luo Lie saw a father's remorse in him, but he didn't believe Simon's words, although the photos Simon brought were indeed a bit strange, but he witnessed Alice walking into the fire. In this world, not everyone has the ability to be reborn, although he hopes that Alice can be reborn, but the reality is cruel, he buried Alice with his own hands, and buried her ashes forever on the flowery hillside along with the cross he gave Alice.

Simon said: "Although I am sick, I am not confused, my eyes are not blind, I see her, and she said something to me in my dreams. ”

"Say what?"

Simon took an envelope out of his pocket, and he recorded exactly what his dream daughter had said to him, because he was afraid of forgetting.

Luo Lie took the envelope and pulled out Simon's record from it, which was not words at all, more like a map, with some numbers on it, Luo Lie judged by his intuition that these numbers were likely to be latitude and longitude, he couldn't help but wonder if Simon in front of him was sensible, a terminally ill patient, in the late stage, there are usually fantasies, and Simon regretted his daughter's affairs for the rest of his life, and the only way he wanted to get relief was through fantasy.

However, the map was drawn very clearly, and if it weren't for his deliberate deception, it would have been amazing to draw such a map based on the memories of his dreams.

Simon said, "I don't understand what the numbers mean, but Alice said you know, you can find her......" His eyes were full of anticipation.

Luo Lie looked at Simon, the Simon in front of him was no longer the arrogant and arrogant priest of the past, his life was about to end, and he was about to die, and he was good at his words, and intuitively realized that he had come thousands of miles to not deceive himself.

Luo Lie said in a low voice: "Have you told anyone else about this besides me?"

Simon shook his head and said, "They all thought I had done it, and if I told me about it, not only would no one believe me, but everyone would think I was crazy." ”

Luo Lie quickly saw from the map that this map was incomplete, pointed to the map and said, "That's all you can remember?"

Simon said, "Also, but ......" he pursed his lips and said, "Can you take me there, take me with you." ”

Luo Lie said, "What are you looking for?" He could already see that Simon still had a lot of reservations about himself.

Simon said, "I don't have long to live, I heard Alice's call to me, I'm going to this place, the island of mirage......" he said, pointing to the map.

Luo Lie said: "Why should I go?"

Simon said, "You grew up with Alice, she loves you so much......"

"Shut up!" Luo Lie roared.

Simon's face turned pale, he covered his heart, his eyes became more and more gray, and he muttered, "I know, I hurt her, I hurt you...... But...... Luo, Luo...... Can you give me a chance to atone for my sins......"

Luo Lie shook his head and said categorically: "From the moment you killed Alice, you are no longer worthy of being a father. ”

Simon staggered back as if he had been punched, sat down on the couch, grabbed his silver curls with both hands, buried his head in his palms in pain, and after a while he whispered, "I don't deserve it!"

Simon is gone, Luo Hunt's attitude makes him completely discouraged, he knows that Luo Hunt will not help him. He didn't take the photos and the incomplete map with him when he left, Luo Lie stared at those photos for a long time, thinking back to the innocent girl who slept on the other side of the ocean......

Liu Shangwu's debt collection went very smoothly, just showed the IOU to Yu Weiguo, Yu Weiguo was ready to write a check for 7,000 to him, Liu Shangwu got a check for 7,000 and asked him to add 3,000, Yu Weiguo was a little resistant, but when he heard the news that Liu Shangwu was going to be published in the newspaper, he immediately relented, and obediently took out another 3,000 yuan.

Liu Shangwu didn't expect this money to come so easily, to help Luo Hunt do things, the soldiers were bloodless, not only found back the 3,000 yuan he lost, but also had a surplus of 2,000 yuan, and sent 5,000 yuan of it to Luo Hunt with joy, and he really admired Luo Hunt now.

Luo Lie rarely went out during this time, even Ye Qinghong rarely went there, Ye Qinghong called him, but said that Tang Baoer had just broken up with Yu Weiguo, and had been pestering her all day recently, Ye Qinghong had to be busy building her future museum, and she had to accompany this good girlfriend, so she couldn't find time to come over at all.

Luo Lie was happy to be pure, Simon's arrival made his heart fluctuate, and before he knew it, the five days that Bai Yunfei gave him had arrived, and early this morning, Bai Yunfei drove lightly and came to the small church.

Although it was a Sunday, the chapel was empty, there was not a single believer, Luo Hunt's departure made the small church, which was not very popular, become deserted in front of the door, and a magnificent cathedral had recently been built less than a mile from here, and most of the believers were attracted there.

Luo Lie wore a straight suit, stood quietly in front of the statue of Jesus with a Bible in his hand, and saw Bai Yunfei approaching step by step from the light and shadow outside the gate.

Bai Yunfei held a civilization stick in his hand today, standing still about two meters away from Luo Lie, and the civilization stick in his hand fell to the ground lightly and heavily, making a soft sound, and the sound echoed for a long time in the relatively empty church.

Bai Yunfei had a gentle smile on his face: "How did Brother Luo think about it?"

Luo Lie said: "Let's listen to your conditions first." ”

Bai Yunfei laughed, and he gave Luo Lie a thumbs up: "Brother, your bargaining skills are really first-class, it's a pity not to do business." ”

Luo Lie said: "You can't be sold and help people pay for it." ”

Bai Yunfei sighed and said, "You still can't believe me." He glanced at the statue of Jesus and said, "Jesus and his old man testify that if I, Bai Yunfei, have the intention of harming your brother Luo, I will be crucified and tortured for the rest of my life." ”
