Chapter Eighty-Four: Redemption

He walked into the room, took a step forward and stopped, leaving the door open behind him, and saw that he was already very tired from standing, and there were a pair of gloomy eyes on his dusty face, which revealed a rude, presumptuous, tired and violent look, and the setting sun outside the door sprinkled on his body, so that his front formed a black shadow, like a devil.

Aunt Wang saw it from the kitchen and screamed in fright.

The priest looked at the visitor calmly.

The man looked between the priest and Aunt Wang for a moment, and before they could speak, he said to himself.

"That's right, I'm a worker on a construction site, I've worked the construction site, I haven't gotten paid, and now I don't have a penny on me, but I'm hungry, can you let me eat?"

"Aunt Wang." "You're adding a pair of cutlery," said the priest. ”

The man took another step forward and came to the table, "I've walked a long way, can you let me sleep all night?" Do you have a utility room here? ”

"Aunt Wang." "You go back to the master bedroom and put on the white sheets." ”

The man's originally cold face was a little moved, he didn't expect that the foreign old man in front of him could agree to such an impertinent request, and his Chinese was really fluent, and his face was puzzled, "Really? You don't dislike me? ”

"I'm the priest who lives here, sir, and I'll sit down and we'll eat in a while, and she'll make your bed while you're eating."

Aunt Wang brought the food to the table, she glanced at the Father-in-Sight, the priest smiled and nodded at her, and then she set a pair of cutlery in front of the man.

"Go make the gentleman's bed, he's tired, and he may have to rest after eating."

Aunt Wang couldn't go against the priest's wishes, so she had to go upstairs.

"Sir, sit on this side, it's a little warmer here." Every time the priest said the word sir, his voice was kind and serious.

"No need." The man's heart, which had become hardened, began to waver at this time, and he unexpectedly gained the respect he had been absent for a long time here.

"I am ......" The man opened his mouth at this time, wanting to explain something, but the priest gently held his hand, "You don't have to explain anything to me, this is not my home, it is God's dwelling, this door never asks the name of the person who comes in, but asks him if he is in pain, you are suffering now, cold and hungry, you are welcome here, don't thank me, don't say that I let you live in my house, this is not anyone's home except for those who need shelter." I don't need to know your name, I already know before you speak! ”

The man's eyes widened in surprise, "You know what my name is?" ”

"Yes." The priest said, "You will be called 'my brother'." ”

Dinner on the table was sumptuous, a soup, a piece of roast lamb, some figs, cheese, and a large loaf of bread.

"These are Western diets, and I don't know if they are to your liking."

"Yes, yes!"

When Aunt Wang came downstairs and took her seat, the priest's face suddenly brightened, and there was a hospitable and cheerful look, "Let's eat." ”

The priest prayed as was customary, then divided the soup with his own hands, and the man devoured it.

By the time the three of them finished eating, the sky outside the window was already dark.

The priest stood up, "Sir, I'll take you to the room where you sleep." ”

The priest led the man to the master bedroom, the room where he usually slept, and there was very little furnishings in it, except for the necessary bed, which was a small statue of Jesus at the head of the bed, which was simply dull.

"Alright." The priest said, "You can sleep well here, and you can have a glass of hot milk before you leave tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Priest." As soon as the man spoke, he was stunned, he didn't even think about it, he made this strange move, which was different from what he thought when he first entered the door.

He immediately changed to a fierce expression, and said in a rough voice: "You are so relieved to let me sleep here, how do you know that I am not a murderer?" ”

The priest looked at the ceiling, "That's the matter of a merciful God. ”

With that, he departed.

The man was lying on the white and soft bed, and in the past few days, he had slept either in the bridge cave or on the hardwood board of the construction site, and the memory of the last time he lay on such a soft bed was long ago.

Soon, sleepiness hit, and the man fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the man woke up, and he stared blankly at the ceiling in the darkness, where the priest had been staring before, "As I said, I no longer believe that there is a God, there is a God, there is God!" ”

Yes, this man is Wang Qiang, he used to live in a place where the sun can shine and there is light, and when he knew that the great wave of fate was coming to him, he realized that the previous sunlight was just an illusion created by the studio, it was so fragile, as long as there was a slight change, it would be extinguished.

He has lived in darkness ever since, suffering in the darkness, hating in the darkness, groping in the darkness like a blind man.

He was treated coldly by human society, and the society in his eyes always had a self-proclaimed righteous anger and endless rebuke to him.

He was naturally angry, and a fire of anger rose in his heart, burning at all times, illuminating the abyss and bleak vision of his fate, and in the midst of the misery and terror, his heart died, and with it was his kindness, kindness, which he had previously valued.

Where is he in the dark night? Even he was at a loss.

Wang Qiang closed his eyes and wanted to fall asleep again, but it was easy when the sleepiness first came, but it was difficult when he came again, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and his thoughts were chaotic, and suddenly he thought of the gold and silver tableware placed in the cabinet in the living room before, which should be a gift from the believer accepted by the priest.

The gold and silver cutlery had trapped his mind a few times, and the things were there, as if they were not locked, only a few steps away from him......

His thoughts were turbulent, hesitating, and he struggled until dawn, and the bell rang at six o'clock in the morning, Wang Qiang opened his eyes and made a decision in his heart, he got out of bed, carried his shoes, and tiptoed to the living room, came to the place where the gold and silver tableware was placed, raised his hand to open it, and sure enough, there was no lock, he took off these tableware, his hands trembled so much, when he killed people before, he had never trembled like this.

He quickly opened the door, put on his shoes outside, and quickly left.

The sun came out, and Father Noah was reading in the small courtyard behind the house as usual, and Aunt Wang ran over in a panic.

"Father, do you know where the gold and silver cutlery in the living room go?"

"Yes!"

"That's great, I thought I lost it, where did you put them?"

"I get them to those who need them."

"What? You mean, the man stole our gold and silver cutlery? Aunt Wang had been with the priest for several years, and she could already understand the meaning of his words.

The priest was stunned for a long time and looked at Aunt Wang seriously, "First of all, are those cutlery ours?" ”

Aunt Wang was speechless for a moment, and the priest continued: "We shouldn't have occupied those cutlery for so long, it was originally a poor man's thing, and now, it's back to the poor man's hands, isn't it normal?" ”

Aunt Wang lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever you say, just do it." ”

Aunt Wang returned to the room, still muttering something, when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and a group of angry old men and old ladies came in, grabbing a person from all directions, and that person was Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang came out of the priest, just walked a street, was seen by the believers in the apartment morning exercise, in the early morning, when they saw such a ragged person, everyone would look at it one or two more, and some sharp-eyed people saw the corners of the gold and silver tableware that Wang Qiang hid in his clothes.

Immediately shouted, everyone stepped forward to surround him, grabbed Wang Qiang, discussed calling the police, and then thought about it, it was better to come to the priest first and hand it over to him to deal with.

Wang Qiang didn't expect to return here again so soon, and the priest also heard the movement, Wang Qiang lowered his head, not daring to look at the priest.

"Father, this man stole your gold and silver cutlery, and we caught him, do you want to call the police!"

The priest walked over quickly, "Oh! It's you! He said in a loud voice: "It's a pleasure to see you again, you forgot to bring one of the gold and silver cutlery I gave you, and here it is." In front of the cabinet in the aisle, he took out a silver plate that Wang Qiang did not take away because the position was too low.

"These should sell for a lot of money, and they should be enough for you to live a good life." The priest enthusiastically stuffed the silver plate into Wang Qiang's hand.

The priest said to the believers around him: "This is a misunderstanding, let him go, I gave it to this gentleman." ”

"Misunderstanding, hey, look at this trouble."

"You guys go out first, and I'll talk to this gentleman again."

When they saw the priest speak, they all went away.

Wang Qiang's limbs trembled, he looked at the priest in a daze, and said nothing.

"My friend, these are all given to you by me, you can sell them with confidence, you are still welcome here at any time, the door is unlocked, you can come in by pushing the door."

Wang Qiang's face was pale at this time, as if he was about to faint at any time, the priest walked up to him and said softly, "Don't forget, don't forget the promise you made to me, you used this money to be a kind person!" ”

Wang Qiang was dumbfounded, he didn't remember any promises to the priest at all, the priest said in an accentuated tone.

"My brother, Wang Qiang, from now on, you no longer belong to the evil side, I bought your soul from Satan with these utensils, I redeemed your soul from evil, handed him over to God, in the future, be an upright and kind person!"

Wang Qiang fled out of the door, his steps were in a hurry, he didn't choose the way, his indifferent eyes turned faintly red at this time, there were tears rippling in them, and a voice came from his ears, "The sequence is on, the sequence is detected: lv9 progressive, promotion ceremony: spiritual redemption (completed), supernatural awakening: self-improvement (1): the effect of physical exercise is doubled, and the upper limit of the physical body is increased." ”

Wang Qiang was in a state of confusion at this time, his brain was buzzing, and he completely ignored the sound in his ears, until a black shadow came out of the roadside and pulled him away.

"Lao Wang, are you okay" The person who came was Meng Changlin, he was looking for Wang Qiang before, and saw Wang Qiang enter a house, Meng Changlin thought that Wang Qiang was going to do something brutal, so he waited outside, who knew that he went in, and only woke up the next morning, and saw him come out in a hurry, Meng Changlin just wanted to come forward to say hello, but was preempted by those uncles and aunts, and was sent back.

Only then did Meng Changlin know that Wang Qiang had stolen something, and his heart was about to suffer, but after a while, Wang Qiang came out intact, which made him confused.

Meng Changlin's voice pulled Wang Qiang out of that trance-like chaos, Meng Changlin looked at Wang Qiang in surprise, "Are you crying?" He never imagined that he could see tears on Wang Qiang's face.

Wang Qiang wiped his eyes and said, "Why did you come to me, I'm a fugitive, aren't you afraid of hurting you?" ”

Meng Changlin smiled embarrassedly: "I'm like this, what else is there to be afraid of, looking for you, just thinking that it is too bleak to live alone, two people can talk with a companion." ”

"I finally know what I'm going to do now, this thing is dangerous, it could be fatal, do you want to join?"

"I don't know if I'm afraid of death, anyway, now I feel like life is better than death." Meng Changlin said with a smile.

Wang Qiang nodded and stretched out his hand, Meng Changlin saw this, and also lined up his hand, and the two hands were firmly clasped together.

"Then let's see what we can do!"

Wang Qiang looked at the sequence text that appeared in front of him at this time, and felt surprised in his heart, and after reading it, he said softly: "Let this world tremble in red anger!" ”

The strings of fate were plucked, Wang Qiang was always in the tide of fate before, passively obedient, now, he also wants to see if fate is really destined, unchangeable, he took the initiative to make a choice on the road of life this time, he wants to take a difficult road full of thorns and broken bones, but this can not frighten Wang Qiang at this time, he knows that the right path is to be much more difficult than other roads!
