Value peace

Chapter 11
It's such a big world, anything can happen.In this time and space, there is still a church?

After Duanniang left, Gu Xiyan asked Hengyue carefully.

It turned out that Xia Guo only believed in two religions, Brahma and Christianity.Brahma has a history of more than 2000 years, with various sects and congregants.However, Christianity has a history of less than 500 years. It suddenly appeared and prospered with the previous Li Dynasty Taichu Dynasty. Later, when the dynasty changed, Xizhao recognized the ancient Brahmanism as the state religion, and Christianity gradually declined. Although the court did not expressly prohibit it Christianity, but it clearly resists Christians in the appointment and promotion of officials, so very few believe in Christianity now.

Gu Xiyan pondered: "How much money did Duanniang give them?"

Hengyue also showed a strange expression, and said, "Duanniang gave 500 taels of silver, but they didn't accept it. At first, Duanniang thought it was too little, but the pastor said that since they are willing to be cremated, they are the most devout believers. Help for free, and make an oath in front of the Holy Mother, never to reveal this matter to outsiders!"

Gu Xiyan was silent for a long time, and said, "Call me when they come."

When the church came, it was a moonless night with few stars.Gu Xiyan and Hengyue hid quietly in the camphor forest.

In the middle of the moon, Duanniang and three men appeared on the boulevard. The three men were all wearing black coarse cloth cloaks with cloaks, their faces could not be seen clearly, and their steps were very light, walking quietly beside Duanniang. , like a ghost.One of the tall and burly men walked side by side with Duanniang. Duanniang said something softly, and he kept nodding. With a silvery white cool light.

Gu Xiyan could see it clearly.

It was a cross.

Her mind was all set.After Duanniang and his party disappeared without a trace, she leaned gently behind the thick camphor tree with a history of hundreds of years and asked Hengyue in a low voice: "Do you know how to read?"

Hengyue didn't know why, but she still replied seriously: "When I was at home, my mother told me how many words I had read."

"Then do you still remember what you read for enlightenment?"

"Remember, it's the Enlightenment of Phonology."

"Remember what's in it?"

"remember."

"I'll listen to you recite a few words!"

"Yeah." Hengyue looked at her nose and nose, and said with a heart: "Clouds face the rain, snow faces the wind, and the evening sun faces the clear sky. Laihongs face the swallows, old birds face the singing insects. A three-foot sword, a six-jun bow, Lingbei is facing Jiangdong..."

Gu Xiyan listened with a solemn face, and asked again: "Then have you heard of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics"?"

Hengyue nodded: "I've heard of it, it's a must-read for every career."

Gu Xiyan was silent for a while, then said softly: "Let's go back!"

Hengyue looked at Gu Xiyan strangely, but wisely said nothing.

They walked unhurriedly towards Qilixiang.

Gu Xiyan was so upset, she lowered her head and thought.

Hengyue suddenly paused.

Gu Xiyan raised her head in confusion.

The turning point in the woods is the door of the Xiangyu Hall.

Gu Xiyan saw that Fang Shaoqing.

In the night, he was wearing a white moon-colored gown and stood facing the wind, floating like a feathered immortal, his brows and eyes as warm as jade were crystal clear, and he even greeted Gu Xiyan with a smile on his mouth: "You are here".

Gu Xiyan was shocked.

Could it be that he found out that he had been peeping through the back window that day, and now he came to settle accounts with her, or came to warn her not to talk nonsense...

Before Gu Xiyan could speak, Hengyue took a step forward and asked shyly, "My lord, are you calling us?"

This time, Fang Shaoqing was shocked, and he apologized: "Sorry, sorry, girl, I admitted the wrong person."

Hengyue smiled charmingly at Fang Shaoqing, bowed her head and walked forward.

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to look at Fang Shaoqing, and immediately followed Hengyue. Hengyue turned her head suddenly, her face was flushed and her eyes were blurred.Gu Xiyan followed Hengyue's gaze and looked back, Fang Shaoqing was holding his feet up and looking forward.

Who is Fang Shaoqing waiting for?
At least one thing Gu Xiyan can be sure of is that the person he is waiting for is a woman, and a young woman at that!
As soon as the two of them returned to the house, Gu Xiyan immediately felt a surge of exhaustion from the bottom of her heart, took a hasty shower and went to bed to rest.

That night, Gu Xiyan had a dream.In the dream, Gu Xiyan seemed to be watching an old yellow movie.

The setting sun shone on his father, dragging a long shadow in the alley, the young Gu Xiyan ran behind him with his shoes rattling, he turned around and waved at Gu Xiyan, as if Gu Xiyan was a The annoying mosquitoes frowned and said, "Go back quickly, go back quickly, lest grandma wait impatiently...

In the cramped small attic, Gu Xiyan, with a fluffy hair, knelt on the ground and did her homework on a small square stool, while her cousin complained to her aunt: "I want to play the piano, and there is no stool to sit on." She looked at Gu Xiyan's head and said, "Hey, Xiyan, let my brother play the piano." Gu Xiyan held her homework book, leaned against the wall with her tears in her eyes and lowered her head in silence. When her aunt left, she murmured: "I, I haven't finished my homework yet, the teacher will punish me to stand again tomorrow"...

As soon as the scene changed, the little Gu Xiyan grew up, wearing an emerald green dress with yellow flowers, standing in the spring breeze, feeling as if she had become the young leaf on the branch, A whisper came from the side: "Look, the oil-green cartoon T-shirt paired with a pure white girly skirt is really old-fashioned!" She lowered her head in shame and hurried through the crowd...

Gu Xiyan tightly hugged the undulating body on her body, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of confusion, the man buried his head in her black hair, and murmured: "Xiyan, Xiyan, you are so kind... Once we graduate, we Just get married and go to the south together, where it is easy to find a job... You will only have to wash my clothes and take care of the children at home, and I will work hard to support you..."

Suddenly, Gu Xiyan loosened her eyelids and opened her eyes.

There is already a piece of white flowers outside the window.

Mo Ju was standing in front of her bed: "Second Miss, you're awake!"

Gu Xiyan's mouth was dry, and it took a long time to react.

Why are you dreaming of these again!
She got up lazily and asked Mo Ju, "What time is it now!"

Mo Ju took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "It's almost ten o'clock."

Gu Xiyan nodded, still a little confused just after waking up.

Mo Ju hung up the gauze curtain and smiled: "Girl, what do you want for breakfast? Talang stewed lotus seed and lily porridge, but Xinghong went to pick some Huo Xianglai early in the morning. It's juicy and fresh. , and released the agency..."

It is also a great happiness to wake up every morning and worry about what porridge to eat!
Gu Xiyan thought vaguely, and asked, "Where's Duanniang? Are you back?"

Mo Ju nodded: "I just came back, do you want me to call her in?"

Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the bed and shook her feet to look for shoes: "No, I'll go and have a look."

Mo Ju hurriedly squatted down and put her feet on for Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan knocked on the door opposite, Hengyue immediately came to answer the door, and entered the room, Duanniang was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking tea, her eyelids were blue , and there is a square blue and white porcelain vase beside him.

When Duanniang saw Gu Xiyan, she said to Hengyue calmly, "Go and serve us breakfast, and eat in this room!" He bent his knees and said "yes".

As soon as Hengyue went out, Duan Niang nudged the blue and white porcelain vase beside her with her mouth: "Girl, the pastor in the church has prayed for that girl, which is equivalent to our dojo here, don't worry... But, this , what should I do?" The tone was panicked.

Gu Xiyan murmured, "Is there any suitable place for Qixia Temple?"

Duanniang thought for a while, then shook her head: "The two families are like fire and water. If the people of Qixia Temple know what is in this bottle, it will be good if they don't smash it..."

Gu Xiyan thought for a while and asked, "Is the church far from Shengjing?"

"It's not far, it's closer than Qixia Temple." Duanniang said, "What does the girl want to do?"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "Then leave it in the church, and I will go to worship after a while."

Duanniang thought for a while, and said, "That's fine. I'm always uneasy if I put it here..."

Gu Xiyan can understand that the dead are the most important, and now burning the human body, this may be a very unacceptable evil thing for Duanniang!
They ate breakfast hastily, and Duan Niang hugged the porcelain vase like a hot potato and went out again.

Gu Xiyan had nothing else to do, and told Hengyue: "If there are any books, find one and let me have a look."

Hengyue thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Aunt Duan won't let me give it to you..."

Gu Xiyan's face darkened.

Hengyue immediately said: "Don't say I gave it to you, just say you found it yourself."

Gu Xiyan remained silent.

Hengyue Wuwu hurried into Duanniang's room and brought out a book.

Gu Xiyan took a look, the blue cover was bound with white strings, and there was a picture of a beautiful woman leaning on the window with her elbows leaning against the window. Next to the beautiful woman was written "Peach Blossoms" in simplified Chinese characters.

She smiled and opened the book.

It is a chapter novel, horizontally arranged, in simplified Chinese characters.

Gu Xiyan read it very easily.

Unknowingly, it was time for lunch, and after lunch, she continued to read that "Peach Blossom Love" while leaning on the bed.

The story is actually very undesired, it is nothing more than some talented men and beautiful women who must fall in love with each other, meet in the backyard, privately give silver, and the boy returns home after high school to marry a beautiful woman... It is better than nothing, so Gu Xiyan has to be more patient than usual Read it a hundredfold.

There are books to pass, time flies quickly, it seems that it is dusk in a blink of an eye, the light in the room is dimmed, and the book is a bit difficult to read, Gu Xiyan raised her head and asked Xing Hong who was always waiting by her side: " Is Duan Niang back yet?"

Xinghong went out to have a look, and said back, "Not yet?"

Gu Xiyan thought for a moment, and said: "Let's have dinner first, and save some for Duan Niang." She remembered that there was a small kitchen in the yard, so she ordered: "Hot the dishes!"

Xinghong responded and went out to pass the meal.

Gu Xiyan read the book all day, her eyes were a little dull, and her body was a little stiff, she put down the book and rubbed her eyes, then stood up and stretched, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
