Chapter 199: Opportunity
In the new year, the breath of spring makes people feel good, and Ammar is in the same mood today.
Although this year's harvest in the village was not very good, and it was a bit difficult for everyone to live after paying the taxes, this does not include Ammar, because he has the means to generate income from other sources.
Ammar, who got up early in the morning, looked at his image in the mirror, and it was fine, there were no loopholes. Satisfied, he picked up the hidden cross and put the silver glint in his pocket.
This is a means for him to make extra money, and there can be no surprises. Otherwise, the income from a bag of wheat a month will be lost.
"Hallelujah."
Ammar made a decent gesture on his chest, graceful and skillful. Believing that Allah will also be considerate of himself, and the disguise necessary for survival can be forgiven by Allah.
After praying in his heart, Ammar said goodbye to his wife and left, looking at his two lovely children as he left.
The village where he lived was 8 kilometers away from his destination, Zabadani, and in a hurry he got on his donkey and hurried out of the village.
There is a Christian church in Zabadani, and that is where he is going. Originally, his attitude towards this church was the same as that of everyone else, why did His Majesty the Sultan's officials not drive these infidels out.
And now, he thinks these heretics still have some effect. Of course, this is the realization from the previous two years, when the old priests of the church left, two new young priests came in, and then the Christian church in Zabadani was changed.
Instead of the old priest, who kept nagging people to believe in God, the two young priests claimed that if they believed in God, they would each receive a sack of wheat.
Although the remarks of these two men were rebuked by the respected imam as selling their souls to the devil, they still made many people who lacked that bag of wheat sneak away to feel the breath of God.
And it was at that time that Ammar also felt the breath of God, and they actually received a 50-pound bag of wheat each.
Then the new Fr. Bran announced that since everyone was feeling the Lord's care, it was time to familiarize themselves with the Bible. Of course, he took into account that many of the people present were illiterate, so he announced another decision, that is, every week, he would explain the Bible to them, and whoever could remember them would receive two sacks of wheat.
And because he remembered the most, he was rewarded with two extra bags of wheat.
In addition to this, Father Bran gave him a benefit, a weekly trip to church to tell the Bible to others, and a bag of wheat every month. This kind of income is not low at all, and it is just as high as his income from farming.
You must know that after the harvest, after deducting the rent and taxes paid, he can get more than 1,000 pounds of grain. And these are not just wheat, there are many grains in it.
So for these wheat income, Ammar is quite cherished. Although he has only Allah in his heart, why should the infidels not earn food.
Along the way, Ammar is planning his income this year, whether he can buy some things for his wife and two children, and whether he can save a little for the future.
He was thinking about what was on his mind, but he didn't notice that as he approached Zabadani, there were a few strange people on the road. And these people all have a slightly different complexion, with a hint of nervous expectation, and even a look of fulfillment. Even a little attention can be seen that there seems to be something inside their robes.
"Huh!"
At this time, Ammar, who came back to his senses, felt that the situation was a little different today, because at the gate of the town of Zabadani, he saw that the intersection of the town was full of people, and the respected Imam of Agali was standing on a high platform that had been built, speaking to the black crowd in front of him.
"Allah above, since those two heretics came to town......"
The imam's speech made Ammar understand what was going on. Originally, the Christian church and the mosque were well water and did not interfere with river water, and Su Ri'an and the two sides were not used to seeing each other, but they could still maintain a balance. Only this time there was a private joke between the two priests, and the joke involved the prophet, which happened to be overheard. So the rumors that the two priests had insulted the prophet spread.
Now the imam of Agali in the mosque is gone, he has long seen that these two infidels are dissatisfied with the people of Allah, and now he dares to insult the prophet, not letting them know that it is powerful, and thinking that the green religion is easy to bully.
So under the summoning of the imam, young adults from all over the country gathered. On the pillar next to it, there were several people who had been killed, these people Ammar knew, all of whom had been to the church many times, and who had also had coffee with one of them, Ali, named Ali.
"It's broken!"
Seeing such a scene, Amana could not understand what was happening.
But at this time, he didn't care about other people, because someone pointed at him and shouted. "This is the traitor who used to go to church often, who betrayed Allah and went to listen to the voice of the devil."
As it was pointed out, Ammar immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was useless to refute anything at this time, and now he ran away with a word.
There was nothing to say, Ammar turned over on the donkey, didn't care about feeling sorry for the donkey, and slapped it hard on the ass.
The stinging donkey made a cry of ahohaho, and the boy ran into the town, but no one else caught him.
Ammar, who was galloping all the way on a donkey, only to find out that something was wrong when he rushed into the town, because the road was surrounded by people, and judging from their makeup and the various weapons in their hands, it was all mobilized***.
"It's over!"
After a word of inner sorrow, Ammar could only rush forward hard, and they would not let go of themselves when they stopped.
Facing the rushing donkey knight, a strong man with a fierce smile on his face raised his scimitar and aimed it at Ammar. Obviously, if he rushes down, he will lose his life.
At this time, how could Ammar stop, and if he stopped, he was really looking for death, so he could only break through with his eyes closed.
"Smack"
A gunshot rang out, giving Ammar a chance, because the strong man who was wielding a scimitar fell unwillingly on his bloody chest. While the others on both sides were startled by the gunshots, which gave him a chance.
In the new year, the breath of spring makes people feel good, and Ammar is in the same mood today. Although this year's harvest in the village was not very good, and it was a bit difficult for everyone to live after paying the taxes, this does not include Ammar, because he has the means to generate income from other sources.
Ammar, who got up early in the morning, looked at his image in the mirror, and it was fine, there were no loopholes. Satisfied, he picked up the hidden cross and put the silver glint in his pocket.
This is a means for him to make extra money, and there can be no surprises. Otherwise, the income from a bag of wheat a month will be lost.
"Hallelujah."
Ammar made a decent gesture on his chest, graceful and skillful. Believing that Allah will also be considerate of himself, and the disguise necessary for survival can be forgiven by Allah.
After praying in his heart, Ammar said goodbye to his wife and left, looking at his two lovely children as he left.
The village where he lived was 8 kilometers away from his destination, Zabadani, and in a hurry he got on his donkey and hurried out of the village.
