"Look!" Qiu Yiting, who called herself "Luzia", interrupted Shen Jie excitedly: "It's the sea!" The beach has arrived! ”

Shen Jie turned her head to look out the window, pretending to be very interested and putting on an excited look.

The scenery outside the car window has indeed been completely renewed, with a light blue sea-sky boundary appearing in view, and a gentle breeze blowing across the sea surface creates subtle ripples.

"Actually, it's okay......" Shen Jie muttered to herself.

"What did you say?" Lucia asked.

"I said, this sea is beautiful." Shen Jie told Luzia.

As the bus moves, the view of the beach becomes clearer, and the golden sand glows seductively against the blue waters. On the beach, mottled ...... I don't know what trees cast colorful shadows, adding a bit of coolness to this land under the hot sun.

"Of course, we are all looking forward to this summer camp," Lucia said happily, "Summer is going to the beach!" ”

"You and Dai Yu have the same opinion." Shen Jie told Luzia.

"Hairtail? Didn't that fish die out of the water? Lucia asked.

Sure enough, this name will be called a hairtail fish by anyone at once, Shen Jie thought.

"His name is Dai Yu, not with fish, but a friend of mine, just sitting in front of him." Shen Jie told Lucia and pointed out the hairtail fish to her.

The warm light of the summer sun on the windows of the bus made the atmosphere feel relaxed and cheerful, and some people began to clap their hands and sing songs - at first some girls, but gradually some of the boys joined in.

"For countless nights, I have drawn you with stars, and your grace is like the morning star, so that I may see you for real......" Lucia joined them.

The waves lap against the shoreline as if they were playing with children – the laughing and playful children splashed from time to time under the chase of the waves, and some laughter floated into the carriage, which complemented the cheerful singing in the carriage, making people feel full of summer energy.

"In my singing I praise you with notes, and your beauty is what I praise in this life......"

Along the beach line, you can see some casual parasols, laid on the soft sand, and the sparse flow of people enjoy the coolness and leisure under the umbrellas.

A couple of girls in swimsuits are strolling on the beach, the footprints left by the waves gently washing away, as if time is flowing quietly here.

"The most beautiful blessing in this life is to know the Lord Iesu; The most beautiful blessing in this life, ahhhhh

In the distance, a white sailboat danced on the sea level, like a free seagull, spreading its wings and soaring under the blue sky.

"Walking in the mountains and deep valleys, He will accompany me, I know this is the most beautiful blessing~"

The whole of Long Beach is full of life and energy, and the passengers inside the bus are intoxicated by the joyful singing of the bus, and their faces are full of ...... Crazy smiles? In short, everyone seems to be immersed in this summer beach picture scroll and enjoy this rare summer vacation time.

Even Shen Jie was infected by the atmosphere, and inexplicably felt happy and happy, like a beam of sunshine shining into the corner of the haze.

Come to the beach to play, it's really good, Shen Jie thought.

"The beach has arrived!" Qiu Yiting, whose Christian name is "Luzia", shouted excitedly, her words adding to the cheerful atmosphere in the carriage, and everyone was looking forward to the upcoming beach vacation time - ah no, it was the seaside summer camp life.

"Father Yu, come one! Father Yu, come one! I don't know who was the first to start the coaxing, and then this shout became one, and even Shen Jie joined in.

Yu Bo was finally carried out, stood at the front of the car, and made a STOP gesture to everyone, and the noisy carriage immediately fell silent.

He picked up a hat and put it on his head, posed a few gorgeous and handsome poses, and immediately greeted the screams of the little girls.

Then, Yu Bo picked up the microphone, fed it twice, and opened his singing voice in a burst of laughter: "In countless dark nights,

I draw you with stars, and your grace is like the morning star, so that I can see you truly......"

As soon as he sang a few words, Yu Bo's good, magnetic baritone was drowned out in a round of applause and strange screams.

It's really full of energy, Shen Jie thought.

It is worthy of being in charge of the youth work of the diocese.

"It's a pretty good song." Shen Jie turned her head to Lu Ziya and made an objective evaluation.

"Of course that's good, you don't want to see who it is," Lucia said proudly, "That's our Bogo." ”

"Brother Bo is so famous in the whole magic capital?" Shen Jie asked with some curiosity: "I thought it was just ...... in Beihong District."

"Of course it's famous," Lucia snorted, "that's a legend of the whole diocese." ”

"I'm not very surprised by this...... Shen Jie said.

Luzia didn't dwell on this topic anymore, but changed the conversation and said: "Since I got in the car, I have seen that you have been holding St. Augustine's "Confessions", do you like Austin very much? ”

"St. Augustine? Do you mean Augustine? Shen Jie was stunned.

"That's right." Lucia Road.

"It's okay," Shen Jie thought for a while and said, "I've been reading his books for the past two days, and it's actually quite interesting." ”

In fact, the end is almost seen, and Shen Jie originally thought that she would get it done in one go on the journey to Dongqi.

"St. Augustine is my favorite saint." Luzia told Shen Jie: "One. ”

"I guessed it," Shen Jie smiled, "Is this also the reason why you are talking to me?" ”

"Half and half," said Lucia, "and I've never seen you before." ”

"Before?" Shen Jie asked Lucia: "Is there a summer camp every year?" ”

The two of them chatted like this, and the main content of the conversation was "Confessions" and Augustine (Augustine).

"That, Xu ...... Xu ......"

"Xu Qingwei." Shen Jie introduced herself again.

"Yes, yes, I remember, Xu Qingwei, Maria." Lucia answered.

"It's not Mary," Shen Jie corrected, "it's St. Mary I." ”

"Wow, that's cool," Lucia stared at her for a moment, "You must be a Protestant." ”

"Actually, it's not counted," Shen Jie said frankly, "Maybe next Easter, I'll ...... How do you know, though? ”

"First, you don't know that Bo Ge is a legend in the whole magic capital, second, you ask me if there is a summer camp every year, and third, and most importantly, the decisive basis: those who give themselves cool holy names are all new Catholics," Lucia said: "Our parents are not so imaginative. ”

"That's ......," Shen Jie said.

"You'll know later," Lucia said eloquently, "In the diocese of Mordu, basically half of the men are called Paul, half are called Peter, half of the women are called Mary, and the other half are called Teresa. ”

Shen Jie was inexplicably poked and laughed again, bent down holding her stomach, buried her face in the back of the chair in the front row, and twitched her shoulders.

"Your name is Lucia, and you're already very personal...... Hey, are you alright? Lucia shook Shen Jie's shoulder.

"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's just poking, poking at the joke, that's it. Shen Jie explained to Lucia while controlling herself.

"It's funny." Lucia shrugged.

"Then, do you also believe it with your family, or do you believe it yourself?" Shen Jie regained her posture and asked, "Oh yes, it must be with your parents, because you just said that our parents are not so imaginative." ”

"Yes," Lucia nodded, "our whole family." ”

"How many generations?" Shen Jie said curiously.

"Who knows," Lucia said without hesitation, "seven, eight, ninety, eleven twelve, anyway, that's pretty much it." ”

"That's ......," Shen Jie said.

"You see these people in this car, 80%, 90%, no, 95% are about the same as me, all of them are children of old parishioners." Lu Jiya introduced Shen Jie.

"The roots are red." Shen Jie complimented casually.

"It's all very secular, and I don't understand the truth, and it's all a lift to say that it's lukewarm," Lucia said: "Otherwise, why do you think you want to hold a summer camp?" ”

"...... like this" Shen Jie couldn't answer a little, and muttered for a long time before she said: "But you are quite religious." ”

Lucia did not respond to this assessment, but only asked:

"By the way, you haven't told me which school you're from?"

She originally wanted to ask "which university", but after seeing Shen Jie's immature face and short body, she changed her words again.

"City ......," Shen Jie said, "It's from St. Francis Middle School." ”

"Isn't that Yu Luying's classmate?" Luzia said: "You are with Yu Luying-oh, you were all brought in by Brother Bo this time, right?" ”

Isn't it, Shen Jie thought to herself, do I look like a sister?

"Don't tell me, Yu Luying is also a legend of the whole diocese." Shen Jie said with a smile.

"That's not it," Lucia lowered her voice, "But the Yu family is in the Demon Capital, and it is too famous." ”

"Oh." Shen Jie said.

She still remembered that Shen Hongsheng had mentioned to herself that the market value of the Yu family's "Estel Group" was a little higher than that of their Miwei Group.

"They were big families a century ago," Lu Jiya told Shen Jie, "I heard that all the expenses of our summer camp were borne by the Yu family. ”

"Oh?" Shen Jie said.

"In previous years, the summer camp still had to charge a little money," Lucia explained: "This year, the Yu family is all-inclusive, so it has been changed to free dedication." ”

The whole package can cost a lot of money, but it is also a drizzle for the Yu family, Shen Jie thought.

"Hey, Luzia, I've always been curious about something," Shen Jie glanced at Yu Luying, who was far away in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "The Yu family is so rich, why is Yu Luying ...... Have such a screwed up? ”

Luzia said with a sad face: "It stands to reason that spreading other people's gossip and talking about other people's family affairs is not what the parishioners should do. ”

"It's inconvenient to say it, forget it." Shen Jie hurriedly declared: "I had no intention of snooping on anything, just because I was curious, so I asked casually for a while." ”

Lu Ziya lowered his head and thought for a while: "Actually, many people also know about this, Yu Texuan has three children, Yu Luying's mother is the second, the eldest son Yu Baolu, and the second son Yu Bo. ”

"Hmm."

"When Yu Luying's mother was young, she did some ...... It's not a good thing, a mistake that young people will make - I won't talk about the details, in short, Yu Texuan is angry, which is equivalent to breaking her mother's door.

"Brother Bo, you have also seen it, you have dedicated your life, so the Yu family's industry was basically inherited by Yu Baolu alone, probably like this." Lucia spoke cautiously.

"Understood." Shen Jie said.

"So for so many years, Yu Luying and her mother have basically been in a state of self-destruction, the kind that don't even go back for the Spring Festival - I heard that, I heard that this is the case," Lucia said: "There are also rumors that all this was planned by Yu Baolu behind the scenes, of course, this is a pure conspiracy theory with no basis, alas, I shouldn't mention it." ”

Shen Jie was just about to ask further questions, but the bus had already begun to slow down.

After a shudder, the bus came to a complete halt and stalled.

"Get off, get off!" Yu Bo shouted: "Little ghost, little girl, wake up!" ”

As soon as he got out of the car, the ribbon fish began to gasp exaggeratedly.

"Hiss ......"

"You're asthmatic." Xiao Yao slapped the back of the head of the hairtail.

"I'm breathing the smell of the sea!" Hairtail said seriously.

Xiao Yao sniffed twice: "I feel that it is all fishy." ”

"It's all the smell of stinky hairtail." Yu Luying added.

"Guan Yi Niang, uh, come!" Ribbon fish is clearly overexcited: "Beach! Bikini! Girl! - Hey, Qingwei, Chen Lu......"

At this time, a Yu Bo happened to walk by, kicked him in the back of his knee, and almost slipped on the spot.

"Anyway, let's go to the hotel and drop off all the luggage." Xiao Yao picked up the hairtail fish with one hand and Yu Luying with the other hand.

A total of six buses came to the camp from the three dioceses of Modu, Xinzhou and Yunzhou, with the theme of "Let Love Move", which is said to be the largest in the history.

The "Shengai Hotel" where the summer camp is located is magnificently decorated, and the standard sea-view hotel, even in Dongqi, is not cheap at first glance.

Whether it is the name of the hotel or the magnificent Mount of Our Lady at the entrance of the hotel, they are telling Xiao Yao that the boss is "his own person".

"I heard from them that the rooms are not charged, and the meals are all at the cost price of ingredients, and they are not profitable." Ribbon Fish bragged vividly: "That boss is enthusiastic." ”

"Hey, Xu Qing ......"

Xiao Yao saw Shen Jie wearing a small suit and pleated skirt, wearing a blue cap painted with the logo of the Diocese of the Magic City on her head, dragging two suitcases and carrying a bag to the hotel with her head down, and another girl who looked like a college student next to her, walking side by side with her, so he subconsciously waved his hand at her twice, but Shen Jie went straight in as if she hadn't heard or seen it.

"Brother Yao, Brother Yao, hat." Before Xiao Yao had time to lose it, Daiyu had already handed over the little blue hat, Xiao Yao turned his head and saw that Yu Luying had already put it on.

"It's like a middle-aged and elderly tour group......" Xiao Yao complained while putting on a peaked cap.

Ribbon fish put the cap on the back: "Brother Yao, let's go, what are you stunned about?" ”

"Look at the inside, over there, obliquely wearing a blue hat, tsk, blue socks," Xiao Yao's eyes straightened, pushing the ribbon fish and Yu Luying to look: "Look at it, is that Zhao Xiaomei?" ”

"Somewhere, there's a hat on the side, ......," said the ribbon.

"I know how to look at girls' socks......" Yu Luying said.

"Hey, where did you go?" Xiao Yao rubbed his eyes, but he still couldn't find the figure just now in a small blue hat.

"I'm gone, I'm still thinking about Zhao Xiaomei!"

The three of them walked into the lobby of the "Shengai Hotel", which was full of people and full of voices.

The staff of the summer camp logistics team are trying their best to maintain order, collecting the students' ID cards so that they can be registered in one place.

"Is that him?" In the crowd, Xiao Yao noticed a short and fat man wearing a black Roman collar, and his face immediately became gloomy.

This person is Father Li who met in the Catholic Church of the Arsenal, the guy who gave him a trick in front of Yu Luying.

When the enemies saw each other, their eyes were extremely red, Xiao Yao stepped forward directly, and shouted with an unkind face: "Father Li!" ”

"Oh, Xiao Xiao!" Father Li actually remembered Xiao Yao's surname, and walked forward to shake hands with him very warmly: "You are here too, very good, very good." ”

"Hello Father Lee." Yu Luying politely shouted politely and pulled Xiao Yao's back.

"Father Li, can you take a step to speak, I have something to ask you." Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, okay, okay," Father Li smiled and nodded repeatedly, "But I'm a little busy now, and I'll wait for the afternoon—"

"What are you asking, asking you!" Yu Luying was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "Father Li, don't pay attention to him, let's go and put the luggage first." ”

As he spoke, he dragged Xiao Yao away.

"What are you doing, don't be so impulsive, okay?" Yu Luying complained about Xiao Yao as she walked.

Daiyu chased after him in confusion: "What's the situation, you two?" Brother Bo is looking for you two to ask for ID cards, and I want to arrange a room - Brother Yao, let's live in one room? ”

Yu Luying didn't answer him, but just looked strange and looked directly behind Daiyu.

The ribbon fish was furious in her heart when she saw it, and her back was cold, so she quickly turned around.

Behind him stood two old men, one looked eighty or ninety, wearing a tunic suit, with a pleated face hunched over his back and a cane, a white goatee, but his spirit looked okay, and the other was in his fifties, wearing a suit and tie, with a somewhat strong figure, and his short hair was already gray, and he was supporting the old man mentioned earlier.

"Big sheep, don't you bark when you see people?" The one in his fifties looked stern, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Yu Luying.

"Grandpa, uncle...... You guys, okay. Yu Luying bit her lip and lowered her head.

Xiao Yao could feel the ...... on her body Afraid? Struck with awe? I can't tell.

Subconsciously, he protected Yu Luying behind him.

"Who is he?" The man known as the eldest uncle set his sights on Xiao Yao again.
