Father Mavie

Chapter 226 January 1st (please subscribe!!!)

1860, April 1.

After several days of traveling, the great cold wave finally arrived at Qiumen City.

The sky was gray, the temperature plummeted, and heavy snow swept across the huge city. The land and mountains were covered with ice and snow, and the streets and houses were covered with thick snow. Ma Wei, who was explaining the truth to the believers, saw that the outside was like cotton wool Like falling snowflakes, he couldn't help but stop his voice, walked to the door, stretched out his hand, and caught a piece of ice crystal.

The cold Jinghua disappeared instantly and turned into transparent drops of water. Ma Wei exhaled a breath of white air and looked at the wooden shed built by the street.

That was the barrier that the refugees used to resist the wind and snow. After the workers rushed to work overnight, it was finally built before the big cold wave reached Tyumen City. Today.
It's also the first day of the new year.

In previous years, people all over the world will celebrate this happy day. People will stay at home, serve a cup of hot tea or spirits, sit in front of the stove and watch the children run around. The aroma of food echoes in the house. Even if it's icy and snowy outside, it can't stop people's fiery hearts.

But a war changed all that.

People who left their hometowns came to Tyumen City. They lost their stoves and delicious and warm meals, so they could only curl up together, relying on each other for warmth and dispelling the cold on their bodies.

It's been a rough winter.

"Father! Father!"

Dino's shout came from the end of the street. A carriage came from a distance, leaving a deep rut in the snow. The carriage stopped at the door of the church. Dino couldn't wait to jump down. He was still wearing The wolf fur jacket, the thick woolen hat on the head, and the two ear pads hanging down, protecting the fragile ears.

"Good news! Great news!"

Dino stepped on the snow, ran to Ma Wei in a hurry, and pulled him into the house excitedly.

"Everyone, that's all for today's teaching. Go home, everyone. There is vodka in the box at the door. It's a gift for you. Happy New Year." Ma Wei said to the believers gathered in the church.

"Praise the goddess!"

Hearing that there is wine to drink, the believers cheered from the bottom of their hearts. In such a cold winter, nothing can make you happier than a bottle of wine, of course.
It would be even better if you can have some bacon with the wine.

Watching the newly recruited believers leave, Mavi and Dino walked into the kitchen behind the church, poured two cups of hot tea, and asked, "What good news?"

"My nephew, the Arento people, sent the wheat flour you bought!" Dino warmed his hands holding a teacup, his nose was red from the cold, and his face was full of excitement: "A few days ago, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor blocked the commercial road, the transportation route It was also blocked, but three days ago we repelled the enemy and drove the enemy back to the west of the Ural Mountains, and a trade route was reopened!"

"Is there a business route?"

Ma Wei's eyes lit up, this is a great thing!

Once the trade route is connected, it means that they can buy supplies from other countries. Although other countries are also at war, it is not difficult to buy some things.

"En!" Dino nodded, "Unfortunately, the great cold wave is here, the ice and snow, the commercial roads are tortuous and difficult to travel, and it is impossible to transport a large amount of supplies. The western railway is still in the hands of the enemy. If the railway is not controlled Even if the power is regained, our situation has not changed much.”

"Oh"

"Father, don't worry about getting frustrated. Although we can't transport a lot of supplies through the trade route, at least we have opened up a channel to communicate with other countries. Aaron and the others can also send things in!" Dino said triumphantly: " Do you still remember the stocks and properties we bought before coming to the Romanov Kingdom?"

"remember."

"They've gone up! And it's gone up!"

"How much did we make?"

"I haven't calculated the exact number yet, but it's definitely no problem to make up for our expenses in recent days." Dino said with a smile: "Not only that, Aaron and the others also sent a box of gold! At least 10 pounds !"

"With this money, plus my deposit of nearly 20 gold pounds, it is guaranteed to be worry-free within half a month!"

deposit?

Ma Wei looked at Dino in surprise. Although the funds currently used by the Church of Truth were provided by Dino, no matter how critical the situation was, he never thought of Dino's deposit.

People have already given you half of your wealth, what else do you want?
"That's your last principal, you can't move it, and I don't want it either."

Dino shook his head: "Father, I support not only you, but also the Romanov Kingdom. This is the land where I was born and raised. If I want to protect myself, why don't I take the money and go to the United States of America? Some things are more important than money, I make money to live a better life, not to make money for money, then life is meaningless.”

Ma Wei smiled, this sentence was given to Dino, today
Dino returned the sentence to him without change.

"Thank you, Dino."

"It's too outlandish to say these things. You were the one who took me in when I was poor and desperate." Dino muttered twice, and the topic returned to the right track: "Anyway, I stored that box of gold together with wheat flour in the In the warehouse outside the city, it won’t be a problem to have Li Silde and the cats guarding it, there are many people in the city, so it’s better not to leak out the valuables.”

With a box of gold sent by Aaron, it means that Mavi can reproduce some magic circles, which is like a timely move for the Church of Truth, which has attracted many believers.

Looks like Aaron is doing a good job of buying gold at Citigroup.

"How are the believers trained?" Dino asked, "Have they understood the meaning of the truth?"

"It's still early, it's only been a few days?"

Ma Wei took a sip of hot tea and said, "Even I am in the process of pursuing the truth. How can I tell them what the truth is? What I am doing now is to let them understand the teachings and train them to be able to answer the truth." Believers of the doctrine will also be able to disperse to various cities in the future to establish parishes and preach evangelism."

"His Highness Katerina is in a hurry to ask for someone. I heard that the Kingdom plans to launch the next counterattack in the next year. When I came back, I saw the troops stationed near Tyumen City packing their bags. It probably won't take a few days. I'm leaving." Dino glanced at the empty kitchen, and suddenly asked suspiciously, "Where's Junia? She's been following you, hasn't she?"

"Oh, she's sleeping upstairs."

"It's almost noon, and she hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Many believers have joined in the past few days. Her strength has increased a lot, and she sleeps longer. She sleeps for 10 hours a day." Ma Wei said worriedly: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, so I'll bake it for her in the afternoon. Let's have a cake, she's always wanted a cake."
