Chapter 69: Temptation

Xiao Yao returned home, calmly enjoyed the scolding and cold dinner prepared by his grandmother, returned to his room after a simple wash, moved a small chair, stepped on it, and reached out to take down the small Bible resting on the top of the chest of drawers.

Pat and rub, whew, whew.

Isn't it interesting to treat Yu Luying's gift like this?

He went to bed and lay down, pinched the little metal cross, and unzipped the leather case.

What they just said...... Yes, the Tales of Tobia, here, is found, in front of the Old Testament.

Seem...... Not very long?

Well...... Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named "Sarah", who was possessed by the demon Asmothy and killed seven husbands before they could pass through the door......

"This, after killing two, there are still 5 people who dare to marry, which is also quite brave." Xiao Yao muttered to himself.

Saddened in her heart, she begged God for death, and God heard her prayer and sent the archangel Raphael to save her.

Archangel...... It's the highest level, right? The specs are so high? Looks like this demon is not easy to deal with. In this way, the White Knight is even more suspicious.

The mobile phone shook a little, Xiao Yao picked it up and looked at it, and saw that it was sent by Shen Jie, and he was overjoyed.

"Zhou Qi has been hospitalized, and her family has also come. She hasn't woken up yet but the doctor said it's not life-threatening, I'm rushing home now, you go to bed early, don't think about it, I'll come to you tomorrow. ”

When Xiao Yao saw this information, the burden in his heart was much lighter.

He thought about it, didn't reply to the message, and continued to read the story.

Hey, I didn't expect it, I won't be able to read it anymore.

The archangel Raphael descended to earth, incarnated as a happy young man, walked with the male protagonist "Dobaia", caught a strange fish on the banks of the Tigris River, and finally used the heart and liver of this fish to drive away the demon Asmodeus.

From then on, Dobaia and Shara lived happily ever after......

Call...... Whew......

Before he knew it, he fell asleep with the little Bible in his hand.

He had a dream about his wedding night with Shen Jie.

Shen Jie was wearing the kind of Chinese-style, bright red bridal dress, embroidered shoes, white cloth socks, and a pretty face under the red shoukerana, quite shy.

With the sound of the fabric rubbing, Xiao Yao happily took off his shirt and trousers.

"Wait!" Shen Jie lifted the bride's headscarf and said, "Brother, get up!" We pray together for mercy and protection from our Lord. ”

Xiao Yao said, "Okay. Then he didn't hesitate to put on his pants and knelt on the bed covered with a red quilt with Shen Jie.

"The God of our fathers...... Praise be to you in the infinite world...... Thou hast made Adam, and thou hast made Eve his wife, and thy helper and trust...... I did not marry this sister out of lust, but out of pure intentions. Have mercy on me and her, and give us a young age. ”

"Amen!" "Amen!"

As soon as he and Shen Jie finished speaking, the familiar concrete mixer truck crashed through the west wall and rushed straight towards the newlywed bed.

And sitting in the driver's seat with the steering wheel in his hand is none other than that damn Asmodeus!

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie glanced at each other and jumped up, and Don Quixote and Bloody Mary also jumped out and started a big battle with Asmodean.

The plot behind is all messed up, it feels like you chased me and fled all night, and halfway Xiao Yao also dreamed that he became Zhang Zhengkai, and the powerful white knight was his spiritual fortress.

It is inaccurate to say that "becoming Zhang Zhengkai" is inaccurate, because in the dream, Xiao Yao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Zhang Zhengkai at all.

……

……

When Xiao Yao woke up, it was still dark, which made him judge that he had only slept for a few hours.

He picked up his phone and found that it had been automatically turned off, plugged it in and looked at it, and his eyelids suddenly fell - it was already Sunday night.

Longevity......

"Grandma, where's the rice?" Xiao Yao leaned against the wall and left the room.

"Rice, cook your own rice! Every day, you either go out to rush the soul (note: the magic capital dialect, similar to "go out to wave") and don't come back, or you will be sleepy ......"

The old woman cursed as she took out the leftovers from the refrigerator and heated them on the gas stove.

"Oh, grandma......" Xiao Yao stepped forward obediently and hugged grandma's fat waist from behind.

"Cutting is going to be done!" Grandma twisted flexibly and bounced Xiao Yao away: "It's ...... such a hot day"

"Grandma, it's so hot, don't be reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, the wind from the electric fan is hot......" Xiao Yao glanced at grandma's room, the door was not closed, and the floor fan was facing grandma's mat and slowly shook his head.

"I'm not like you, young master! The air conditioner is turned on all day long, and you don't have to turn it off when you go out, anyway, you don't want to pay for it! Grandma said viciously.

"No, I went out yesterday and didn't close?" Xiao Yao was taken aback.

"I'm going on a cruise in two days, so you're so free! Will it burn down my house? Grandma picked up a rag, wrapped a big bowl of meat soup, and walked to the dining table in Xiao Yao's bedroom.

"Are you going to leave so soon? I thought it was July. Xiao Yao muttered, "With that old man again?" ”

Grandma put the soup on the table, ran back to her room, opened the closet, and pulled open the drawers.

"This is your living expenses during the summer vacation, save a little!"

"Huh? Just a point? Xiao Yao pinched the envelope, and Yazi, who was not too thick, was disappointed.

"Your dad said, if you give it more, you will have money to go online!"

"I promise not to use the Internet!"

Grandma obviously didn't believe this, but she still twisted a few out of another roll of red tickets and handed them over.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Xiao Yao was overjoyed.

The money was handed to Xiao Yao, but grandma didn't let go: "I want your father to know!" Pay attention to moderation at the Internet café! ”

"Grandma......" Xiao Yao didn't know how to express it every time he was moved in his heart.

"Grandma, grandma! Go, go! Only when you ask for money, you will call grandma! ”

"Hahahahahaha......ha

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......" The hidden door was blown open by the wind at some point, and a petite girl stood in the stairwell, holding a beautiful fruit basket in one hand and holding her stomach in the other.

"Shen's signature is laughing wildly......" Xiao Yao muttered.

"Xiao Shen, why are you here, come in, come in." Grandma ran out again: "Come on, come on, and buy something." ”

"I didn't buy it, just a little fruit for grandma." Shen Jie controlled herself and walked in the door: "It's so fragrant." ”

"Dinner dinner?" Grandma asked.

"I've eaten it." Shen Jie smiled and said, "It's okay, you can eat a little more." ”

The girl is wearing a peaked cap on her head today, long hair is scattered, a pair of very short hot pants, and the upper of the high-top canvas shoes shows a centimeter of white socks.

"Xiao Yao, don't you want to take slippers for Xiao Shen?"

"Ahh Xiao Yao was a little stunned and took his eyes off Shen Jie's snow-white and pink thighs: "Is this a pair?" ”

"Yours is too big, aren't you?" Grandma said.

"It's okay, it's not big." Shen Jie put on Xiao Yao's other pair of slippers nonchalantly and walked towards Xiao Yao's bedroom.

The three of them sat down around the square table together, and Xiao Yao gobbled up the hot leftovers while listening to Shen Jie and his grandmother talking about homely things.

"Grandma's cooking is delicious!" Shen Jie's hollow short white socks were tossed and turned under the table, and Xiao Yao's heart was also tossed and turned along with the slippers on her feet.

"It's all home cooking." Grandma smiled and said, "Does Xiao Shen know how to cook?" ”

"Hmm...... I don't burn much, but I'm interested. Shen Jie thought about it for a moment and replied.

Don't say it, this atmosphere really feels a bit of home, Xiao Yao thought.

"I'm going on a cruise in two days, and I'm going to have to go for more than two months." Grandma said: "Don't tear down the house when this kid is alone at home, Xiao Shen, you have to keep an eye on him for me." ”

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie were both stunned, and the former thought to himself, this seems to be the second or third time grandma has seen Shen Jie, right?

How did she manage to be so reluctant to treat others as outsiders?

"Okay, I'll try." What was even more unexpected to Xiao Yao was that Shen Jie actually responded, just like that: "Cruise, my mother has also been there." Grandma, what's your route? ”

Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and checked the text message.

Both Xiao Xiong and Father Yu sent messages asking if Xiao Yao was safe, but Yu Luying was silent.

Shen Jie sent several messages and 4 missed calls.

Xiao Yao looked up at Shen Jie, who was talking and laughing with his grandmother, and his heart was dark.

That's right, girls have to take the initiative.

"Grandma," Xiao Yao cleared his throat and interrupted their conversation about the cruise: "Aren't you in a hurry to get soy sauce?" ”

"What?" Grandma was stunned.

"The soy sauce shop will close at half past eight." Xiao Yao pointed to the clock on the wall.

"You kid, look at you in a hurry!" Grandma reacted and scolded: "Okay, I'll go to the old lady of the Jin family to play cards, Xiao Shen, you also teach him homework." ”

"Okay." Shen Jie said with a smile.

After Grandma left, the atmosphere in the room fell into a brief silence.

"Is Shen Tianyun back?" Shen Jie put down her chopsticks and asked cautiously.

The way she looked at Xiao Yao revealed that she was afraid to hear a negative answer.

Xiao Yao shook his head: "I don't know, I fell asleep when I came back yesterday, and as soon as I got up, you came." ”

"That'...... Let's go and have a look, shall we? Shen Jie proposed.

"Hmm."

said this, but neither of them moved their butts. It seems that everyone knows the answer in their hearts, but they deliberately delay the time to "open the box", as if they don't have to face it.

The girl who went on a rampage in Teacher Yao's "hall" yesterday seems to have disappeared, and in her place, she is a cautious and decent lady.

"During the day, I went to the Sacred Heart Church across the street from your school." Shen Jie thought for a while: "I met Yu Luying." ”

"Normal."

"Her mother is also there, just like the one I saw at the parenting center."

"Hmm."

"I stopped by for Mass."

"Ah, you? Attending Mass? Is it fun? ”

"After the Mass, I called Yu Luying and Father Yu to talk to each other individually. I wanted to call you along, but you couldn't get through. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yao's heart beat a little fast. There was a faint fragrance in the air that belonged to "Shen Jie", and he wanted to hug the girl in front of him, but he didn't dare to move.

Damn, I was already so skilled yesterday......

"It turns out that the Holy Tablet of Our Lady of Loreto is the ...... Queen Mary I's holy relic," Shen Jie recalled, "When Father Yu bought it from the Internet, he wondered if it was a fake, but now he can almost confirm that it is genuine." I summoned the Queen's spiritual fortress because I resonated with her spirit. ”

"Spiritual fortress ......," Xiao Yao chewed on the word in his mouth.

His gaze fell on the hand that Shen Jie placed beside him again. The hand was narrow and slender, but plump and white, and her nails were blue, soft and pearled, and her nails were shiny and thin, cut in the shape of almonds, cleaner than ivory.

Xiao Yao's hand stretched out, then retracted again.

"The priest said that the spiritual fortress is what each of us wants to be, the ideal me." Shen Jie said.

"I do like Don Quixote." Xiao Yao smiled.

"So before I came just now, I looked up Queen Mary's deeds on the Internet," Shen Jie said, "She has a tragic childhood and a tortuous upbringing, and she also has the courage to overthrow her father's inheritance." Even though he was infamous and had to carry out his ideals and beliefs, he failed in the end......"

The girl took out the "chess piece" and rubbed the queen's head in the palm of her hand: "I think I can hear her talking to me." ”

"Tragic idealistic heroes? It's the same as Don Quixote. Xiao Yao took the opportunity to close: "I have found another thing we have in common." ”

Xiao Yao's heart was horizontal, and he put his hand on the back of Shen Jie's hand.

"Ah, is that so......?" Shen Jie withdrew her hand thoughtfully, causing Xiao Yao to pounce.

Is it a coincidence? It must be a coincidence, right?

"So, this spiritual fortress is a weapon against the shadows in the temple?" In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Xiao Yao hurriedly found a conversation.

"Understandable, right?" Shen Jie hesitated: "But the priest said that the spiritual fortress itself is one and the same thing as the shadow......"

"Is it two sides of the same ......?" Xiao Yao pondered: "By the way, what impact will Teacher Yao's shadow have if it is cut by the bear, has Father Yu studied it?" ”

It's not that he's at a loss for words, but he really cares.

"It could end badly, and your male classmate was too reckless. But what it is, the priest doesn't know. Shen Jie said solemnly: "After you go to school tomorrow, take a good look at it, and tell everyone if you have anything in time." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yao said.

Xiao Yao could feel that the relationship between himself and Shen Jie was actually brought closer.

People say that there are four irons in life: together through the window, together with the gun, together with the spoils, together (harmony).

Shen Jie helped each other yesterday, and supported each other with herself all the way, and it is not an exaggeration to call her comrades-in-arms.

Although after leaving the palace yesterday, she felt a little inexplicable, but today this feeling has disappeared a lot.

Come to think of it, she was just too tired yesterday, or in a hurry to send Zhou Qi to first aid.

"By the way, how is Zhou Qi?" Although Xiao Yao didn't care too much, he still felt that he should ask.

"Zhou Qi, she ......"

Xiao Yao listened casually, continuing to think about his own thoughts in his mind.

A comrade-in-arms can be stabbed by the enemy for the other party, not ...... "knife" stabbed by the other party.

His gaze fell on the white socks on Shen Jie's feet.

Yesterday, he saw with his own eyes that Shen Jie's socks had become muddy and had holes in the front and back.

But after leaving the "palace", her socks immediately turned white, dry and clean, and the limited platform shoes that had been destroyed in the fire returned to her feet.

…… Except for the spiritual fortress badge engraved with the chess piece pattern, and the wound on Zhou Qi's stomach, he couldn't bring anything out.

In the final analysis, it is not so much "the body has entered the temple", but essentially more like a holographic immersion online game.

The only difference is that if you die in it, you will actually become a vegetative person.

At least that's what the White Knight said, Xiao Yao didn't have the guts to verify it.

So, from this point of view, no matter how many times you hold hands and hug, in the final analysis, it is just a friendship interaction between online characters.

Shen Jie also realized this, so she withdrew her hand, right? Xiao Yao thought nonsense.

"Did you go and see if your daughter was back? I should be back. Shen Jie finally made up her mind and stood up.

Just, what about promises? Won't it be broken together?

"I'll find a chance to talk to my dad." After leaving the palace yesterday, Shen Jie said so, right?

"That is, it all counts?" At that time, he was helping the medical staff carry Zhou Qi's stretcher together.

"Hmm." Shen Jie nodded.

What exactly does "um" mean? Affirmative or perfunctory? Why won't she let me hold her hand again?

Xiao Yao leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

……

There was a girl's exclamation in front of her.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xiao Yao hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see the girl's upper body stretched into the closet, and the two smooth thighs of the lower body were still standing on the ground.

"Mirror...... Can't get in. Shen Jie kept pressing the floor mirror with her own hands, and then it turned into a blow.

"Calm down, calm down, don't break me." Xiao Yao hurriedly dissuaded, and then reached out to touch the mirror.

He was met with nothing but deathly cold, as hard as a rock.

The passage to 30 years later, closed.
