Chapter 133. Act III, the good deeds of the priest
"I don't care about you, you are a policeman, I am a bandit, if I take care of you, I will go to prison and eat."
"Ms. Xingxiong, Ah Jie, she is a knife mouth tofu heart, don't take it to heart."
"Zhou!"
Chen shouted, rushed over, pressed Zhou Jinru down in his seat, and snorted: "You speak carefully, I know you very well, right?" ”
Before Zhou Jinru could speak, Xingxiong next to him sighed: "Sometimes I envy you, your relationship is so good, even if anything happens, you won't leave each other alone." ”
"Who said that, she almost threw me down last time, scared me to death, I thought I was going to lose her."
Zhou Jinru was stopped by Chen before she finished speaking, she let go of her hand, her face flushed, and she twisted: "What the hell are you talking about, who loses whom?" ”
"I didn't lose you."
He hugged Chen again, and Chen didn't resist, but she noticed that Xingxiong kept looking at this side, so she whispered, "How long are you going to hold it?" ”
"Forever."
How could he say these things in front of someone else?
Chen was blushing, and she was so shy that she was afraid of these simple words, and she was so shy that she couldn't help herself.
After the carriage walked some way down the road, they arrived at the Foundation and found that it was late, the recipients had already left, and only two reporters were still taking pictures.
One of the reporters noticed that someone was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, enthusiastically and quickly: "I heard that several of them are the initiators of this aid, what kind of mood are you feeling now, can you share it?" ”
Xingxiong, who was walking in the front, was not interested in listening to the chatter of this reporter at all, and reached out to grab his tie, his face full of coldness: "Do you know who I am?" ”
The reporter was pulled by his tie and nodded like garlic, the woman in front of him who he was too familiar with and who was rumored to be ruthless in the center would sink the Saiga River by her if he was not careful.
"My friends and I are not interested in giving interviews, how do we write about it? You should understand, right? ”
"Clearly, what Sister Xingxiong says is what it is, and our tabloid will definitely do it."
Xingxiong nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, don't write my name in the newspaper?" This is Mr. Zhou, he is the initiator, just write about him alone? Questions? ”
"No problem, no problem, Mr. Zhou, you are really a good person, right? Those who receive aid are praising your generosity? There are very few people like you who have compassion. ”
"Mercy?"
"Right? Have you ever seen them for yourself, and those high-ranking old men never look down at civilians? They are all praising you for your generosity and mercy. ”
Zhou Jinru opened his mouth? I was about to say something, when I suddenly heard a sneering voice in my ear: "Huh? Mercy, generosity? Has your vanity been satisfied? ”
He looked at the smiling reporters? Look at Xingxiong and Chen again? He seemed to be the only one who could hear the mocking voice.
What if there were still people around? Zhou Jinru had already activated the lighthouse skill, he pretended not to hear, nodded slightly, and then turned around and left without saying a word, Xingxiong looked at him in surprise, and even Chen noticed the strangeness.
She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Did you hear anything?"
"Voice? No, I don't. ”
Xingxiong shook her head, her eyes never left Zhou Jinru's face, and she said, "Otherwise, you go to the Quiet Church, where you can feel peaceful." ”
Chen remembered one thing, the man in front of him was still a misty hunter, and he heard a strange sound, which might not be an auditory hallucination.
"Let's go to the Church of Tranquility."
The three of them hurried in and out in a carriage through the Eastern Districts, all the way to the quiet church of the Western Districts, where they sat on a bench near the gate.
Father Albert, who had finished his day's prayers, walked up, still wearing the old priest's robe, and reached out to caress Zhou Jinru's forehead and asked, "Can you hear strange sounds?" ”
"It's also mocking the church for its uselessness, and that the purpose of worshipping the gods is to collect taxes."
The priest's expression was calm: "It is not wrong, this church has indeed increased the burden on the people of Lentinium, child, I can give you very little help, your wisdom is the blade against it." ”
Zhou Jinru watched the priest leave, he remembered that the first time he heard this voice, it was in the factory area of Lentinium, he should go again, maybe there will be clues there, but not now, there are still a few hours before the main plot will be entered, time does not allow.
"You're staying here?"
"It's a great place."
Xingxiong didn't force it: "Sir Chen and I will leave first, she lives in my house, if you want to find her, come here." ”
It was getting late, Xingxiong and Chen left, Zhou Jinru was still sitting there and didn't move, the voice was noisy for a while and then stopped.
The church clock struck eight times, and the priest struggled out of the back of the church with a large bucket and handed out two warm potatoes to each of the wanderers who stayed here, including Zhou Jinru.
Holding the potatoes in his hands, he slowly tore off the skin, the fluffy rhizomes were a little salty, he ate quickly, and the two potatoes were down, although they were not full, but they were enough to survive a cold night.
Later, when the church doors were closed, the priest came out with blankets and distributed them to the homeless who stayed overnight to keep them warm.
Zhou Jinru touched the blanket that was not too thick, wrapped around his body could indeed keep warm, from food to blankets, the priest did a lot alone, his ability was limited, and the help he could provide was also limited.
Squeak.
With a soft sound, the door of the church was pushed open from the outside, and the hooded man came in from the outside, and the priest walked over and took two potatoes from the priest's robe and handed them together with the blanket.
"Sorry, that's all there is to it today."
He whispered.
The church was quiet, except for the occasional coughing, except for the breathing of wanderers.
Zhou Jinru was lying on the bench, he fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long it took, he was woken up.
The hooded girl shook his body gently: "Wake up, wake up." ”
He almost fell off the bench and quickly rolled over to find Adella crouching in front of him.
"Why are you here now?"
Adella almost lost her breath, and slapped Zhou Jinru's arm hard: "I still have to ask you this, why didn't you go to the place we agreed before?" ”
Zhou Jinru glanced at the quiet church: "Here? ”
"What the hell is going on with you?"
"I'm fine", Zhou Jinru thought for a while, "You want to participate in the rescue plan, what are you looking for me to do?" ”
Adella didn't answer, just looked at him quietly, and after a long time, she said coldly: "Isabella told you that?" ”
