Chapter 371: Answer
"Father, where did Grandma Miria go last night, why didn't I come back before I went to bed?"
"In the early morning, I seem to hear the door open."
Walking down the village road, Gerrit changed the subject and asked his father, Hoss.
Hoss looked at Gerritt, still silent.
At this time,
Suddenly there was a quarrel,
Both Glitter and Hoss turned their heads to look.
“…… Valina, my mother, why do you keep going to the cemetery. Am I, a living child, no match for my dead brother? ”
"I'm just going to see your brother Walker."
"But you only went yesterday."
It's outside Grandma Valina's house,
Valina was about to go out with her old basket.
Busy with something, Valina's son, seemed to complain about it.
“…… I'm just going to check it out. ”
"But you don't have to visit every day or two, I'm also your child, maybe you can pay more attention to me as a living person."
"There's a lot of work to do at home, but you're always going to the graveyard, is that really my brother Walker so hard for you to let go?"
"I'm sorry, York."
Valina held the basket, was silent for a while, and said,
He stood where he was, and did not leave, nor did he go back to the house.
York, who was busy with his work and repairing a farm implement,
Raising his head to look at his mother's appearance, he sighed,
"Alright, you can go, but you may be able to come back sooner, even if you have a lot to say to my brother, but maybe you can talk about it tomorrow.
Anyway, you'll probably be back tomorrow. ”
There was still some grumbling in York's words.
Valina stood still, silent for a while,
"Thank you."
After thanking her child, Valina carried the basket and walked towards the village cemetery.
"Grandma Valina."
"Well, little Glitter."
On the way to meet Gerrit, Hoss, to greet little Gerrit,
Valina smiled.
"Is Grandma Valina visiting Uncle Walker again?"
Gerrit saw black bread in the basket Valina was carrying.
"Hmm. Then I'll leave first. ”
Valina nodded, and walked away.
Glitter looked up at Valina as she walked away, her eyes filled with doubt.
……
“…… Come back, get ready for dinner, my little Glitter. ”
"Hoss, come and make me dinner."
Gerrit and his father Hoss returned to the house,
Grandma Milia was still busy with dinner in the house,
Father Hoss came to help, and Gerrit sat by the door, still thinking about his stomach full of questions.
He's a kid who likes to think,
It's like when his father was a child, his mind was full of wild ideas,
Many of Hoss's thoughts have been worn out by the hard work and life,
And Gerritt, who was sent to school by Hoss, originally thought that he could have fewer questions, but there were more and more questions.
“…… My little Gerritt, what's going on in your mind? ”
"Grandma Miria."
At this time, Miria came from the house, and came to Grett's side,
Little Glitter looked back, and his father seemed to be busy in the kitchen, and he had Grandma Miria himself.
"I'm thinking about something I can't figure out."
"What? Tell grandma? ”
"I don't understand why the church has a law and doesn't let more people know about it until someone violates him."
"I don't understand why God's will would allow women to stay at home and men to work outside, the church says it's a division of labor between men and women, but what if only women are left in the family."
"If it's just a division of labor between men and women, why can't it be reversed...... Why ......"
Gerrit couldn't figure it out.
"These grandmothers don't know, maybe that's why your father, Hoss, made you study, at least, you know the laws of the church. When you are about to offend him, you will know what punishment to receive. ”
"Is that so?"
Gerrit listened to Grandma Milia's words, but it seemed that she had thought of something, and her eyes were thinking.
"Hmmm......"
"Grandma Miria, can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Do you know Grandma Valena's child, that dead Uncle Walker?"
Glitter asked Melia.
"Of course you do, but what are you asking for?"
"I think knowing this seems to make me understand a lot of questions."
"That's right."
Miria paused, then crouched down a little more and said to Glitter,
"And what do you want to ask?"
"How did Uncle Walker die, Grandma Valina seems to have a strange attitude towards Uncle Walker. She always visits him, and I've met her many times. ”
"Hmm...... It seems a little strange, whether it's a normal day or a holiday, Valina always likes to go there, and there seems to be something she can't put down. ”
"Valina's child, Walker, is sick and dead."
Gerrit first got the same answer from Grandma Milia as from her father Hoss,
It was only under Grett's gaze that Grandma Milia explained the matter in more detail.
"It was when Walker was a child, and when he suddenly fell ill during the night, Valina and Burton hurried Walker to the doctor in town.
But doctors can't help it. So he took him back to the village and went to Gus to pray for God's grace.
Gus said that Walker had been attacked by demons.
In the end, Walker died of an evil attack and died of illness. ”
Grandma Miria's words did not answer Gerritt's doubts.
"Grandma Miria, is there a more detailed process? Gus, is that Grandpa Gus, before Uncle Burton, the people in the village who were devout to God? ”
"Yes. I don't know much more about the process...... But. ”
Milia looked at little Glitter, hesitated, and then said aloud,
"However, in fact, there is another saying circulating in the mouths of some people, I don't know if I can answer your questions, little Gerrit."
"Little Glitter, you are a child who has learned a lot in school, maybe you can think of the answers to these questions."
Maybe it's for fear of misleading little Gerritt,
Miria hesitated, and told Gerrit the other story.
Another version is that late that night, after Walker became ill, Valina and Burton took him to a doctor, who said that he needed three silver coins to treat Walker.
Valina and Burton took Walker back to the village and went to Gus, hoping that the gods would protect Walker from the disease.
But Gus says that Walker has become a ......demon because of his disobedience to the Lord, which has invaded the demon and has become a demon So in the end, Walker died of ungodliness to the Lord. ”
Listening to another way of saying from Miria's mouth,
Gerrit seemed to understand, as if there were more doubts,
"They couldn't afford three silver coins to save Walker, so they brought Walker back to the village? But haven't Burton and Aunt Valena's family always been happy?
My father could give me ten silver coins to go to school, but couldn't Burton and Aunt Valina come up with three silver coins? ”
Burton and Valina's family had always been relatively wealthy in the village.
In the past, the village said that Burton and Valina's family were people who were favored by God.
The family has more land than others, but they can always grow all the food before the planting season is over.
And every year there is a fairly good harvest, and under the grace of God, Burton has other time to do other work and get additional gains.
So Glitter was puzzled,
“…… Also, why did Grandpa Gus say that Walker was invaded by demons, and was he really invaded by demons? How's that going? ”
"And ...... How does it take to die of ungodliness to the Lord...... Was it the Lord's punishment? ”
Gerritt was full of doubts,
Milia looked puzzled and puzzled, a little hesitant, not knowing what to say,
In the end, there was only a little silence, and he touched Gerrit's hair,
And then gave an answer that she wasn't sure of either,
"Probably, like with your grandfather Medioc?"
Gerrit listened, quieted down, and looked at his grandmother, Miria,
Then he turned his head and looked out of the room,
Then he sat by the door, frowning and pondering.
Miria looked at Glitter, who was meditating here, and walked away without further interruption.
"Then think slowly, my little Glitter, remember to think through these things, and tell grandma."
"Hmmm......"
Glitter sat by the door and continued to think.
And then
It wasn't until sunset in the evening, and in the house, Grandma Milia and her father, Hoss, were ready for dinner.
Glitter didn't get up.
He couldn't figure it out,
The doctor said he needed three silver coins to save Walker,
How did Burton and Aunt Valina bring Walker back to the village,
Grandpa Gus then says that Walker has been invaded by demons because of his ungodliness.
Was the doctor able to heal the demon invasion before? Or will it be able to make Walker religious?
Walker died because of his ungodliness, how did he die, did God punish him?
Grandfather Medioc also died of dispiety to God,
But he seems to have been condemned as a sinner for running into a knight of the church.
That's probably ...... Medioc didn't die because of divine punishment.
Rather, he was killed by a knight......
Gerrit thought with some blasphemy,
Would Walker have died like this?
“…… Little Gerritt, are you back from school? Did you learn anything from school today? Is it a church decree, or is it some fanciful story? ”
While little Gerrit sat at the door meditating,
On the village road outside the door, there is a villager farmer who has just returned from the field with his child.
He laughed and said to little Gerritt like he was telling some kind of joke.
Little Gerrit looked up at the farmer and the child,
The farmer looked at Glitter with a smile on his face, and the child was concentrating on the stones and weeds of the road with his feet down.
The residents of the village did not agree that way with his father's Hoth sending him to study at a school in the town.
Especially since they knew that Hoss had spent half of his life savings just to let Gerrit learn something useless,
Perhaps, behind the scenes, Hoss and Gerritt are stupid.
"yes, just got back from school. I learned math today......"
Gerrit replied very seriously.
"Really, are they numbers that don't work?"
The man was even happier, and said to Gerrit with a smile.
Gerrit looked at the man and didn't retort.
“…… Hoss is a man who has been blessed and favored by God, and we don't have that much money to waste on this. ”
The man said with a smile.
It's not that Gerrit didn't understand, but he didn't speak.
The man said a few words and left.
But Glitter looked at the figure of the man walking away, and the doubts in his eyes were solved.
Then there were more doubts.
"Is it because you can't bear it...... Is it because you can't afford three silver coins? Perhaps Burton and Aunt Valina had three silver coins, but they were reluctant. ”
"So...... They brought Walker back. ”
"But how could Uncle Burton be the most devout man to God in the village?"
"Why did Grandpa Gus say that Walker was an evil invasion? Was the doctor wrong, or was Grandpa Gus wrong? ”
There were more doubts in Gerrit's heart, and there was also something called doubt.
Perhaps, some things are not necessarily right.
It's like what he learned from the school, after calculating it for his father Hoss,
But my father didn't need it.
Is the knowledge of the school wrong, or is there something wrong with it?
……
Great Britain, in the dormitory.
Even if I've watched it a second time.
Seeing the plot development of this great chapter, Xi Yuan's roommate still felt that his emotions were suppressed in his heart and he was saving.
From the reader's point of view, Gerritt's question seems to be answered very well,
But for little Gerrit, it was a difficult problem to figure out.
"Because that Gus, even the old bastard, is not a good thing, if there really is a god in this world, maybe they should be killed by the thunder of the gods!"
The roommate looked at it very seriously, and the emotions were also very thorough.
Even if he was alone in the dormitory, he couldn't help but scold angrily when he looked at the plot in the book.
"Hurry up and understand these things, little Glitter, you are the protagonist of a great chapter, you are great!"
This is the second time I've watched it.,I've obviously seen the plot behind it.,I'm immersed in the story at this time.,But it seems to have forgotten again.。
Emotions ebb and flow with the story, and the roommate continues to look down.
And on the other side,
Xi Yuan took "Ordinary and Great" to the cafeteria,
Walking on the side of the road in college, thinking about the intoxicated appearance of my roommate reading just now,
couldn't help but open "Ordinary and Great" on the way, and watched it a second time from the beginning,
At the beginning, because I had already read it once, it was still a little casual.
It's just that with the development of the plot, the more I watch it, the more fascinated I become.
And then the footsteps that moved under his feet became slower and slower,
In the end, before I even reached the cafeteria, I sat down by the flower bed on the side of the road.
Then I was even more immersed in the story, unable to extricate myself,
Until the stomach finally couldn't help but gurgle,
Xi Yuan suddenly came back to his senses from the story in the book.
“…… Eh, friend, what's the name of this book? ”
A voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Xi Yuan noticed that there was a young man squatting next to him,
His eyes are falling on the "Ordinary and Great" in his hand,
I don't know how long I've been squatting next to him.
"Ordinary and Great"
"Ordinary and great? It's such a good name and a good book, and I'm hooked when I read it. I'm really sorry, but I couldn't help but look at it a few times when I saw you reading this excellent work here, and then I couldn't help but read it along with it. ”
"Little Hoss is the protagonist of this work, his story is really uncomfortable."
The man said quickly.
Xi Yuan came back to his senses and laughed,
"Yes, but there are two chapters in this book, and little Hoss is the protagonist of the ordinary chapter,"
"Then the rest of the chapters are great chapters, cool! I'm already looking forward to the story of the great chapter! ”
"By the way, friend, can you find this book in that bookstore out there? If I could, I'd like to buy one right now and come back. ”
"Yes, I bought it from there."
"Then I'll leave first, and we'll see you next time."
With an affirmative answer, the man stood up and walked quickly towards the bookstore outside the school.
Xi Yuan looked at this person's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but smile,
He's also adding a new reader to this writer, no, maybe more than one,
He also reposted the press release of the publishing house.
However, this book deserves this, and such a good work should be read by more readers.
If he could, Xi Yuan would even like to recommend this book to everyone he knows.
Looking back at the "Ordinary and Great" spread out in his hand, Xi Yuan hesitated,
"Forget it, let's go to the cafeteria and take a look."
thereupon
Xi Yuan went to the cafeteria, and after buying food,
Let the lunch cool.
