《THE WAY OF FAITH》CH.16-Become Peace
Advertisement
She sat quietly in the back seat of the Ford sedan, full of puzzlement, full of doubts, full of...unwillingness.
What to do with the church?Even if no longer believe in any gods, are not she alive?It was really superfluous.
She raised her head and glanced at the flyer "Fengshan Living Spring Spirit Bread Hall". Yu Ruoling was full of disdain, inexplicable, but a little guilty of disdain.
Probably because of the relationship between religion and spiritual illusion.
The driver's seat and the passenger seat were whispering, deliberately keeping the discussion out of her ears.
Unfortunately, her parents forgot that her hearing is 1.2 times that of ordinary people.
"Didn't you say you wanted to tell me why you were looking for a church?"
"Before there was a female customer in the store who was a teacher at school. I talked to her before I found out that she was a Christian. Later, I didn't know what to do. She started to come to me very often, and every time she came, she only preached the gospel. It was Jesus. At first, I thought she was annoying, she kept saying something and nothing. And finally I didn’t know what was wrong. One day when I was going to work, I suddenly thought of Jesus. The more I thought about it, the more interested I became. What about innocent deaths at the hands of others?He also said that he died for everyone, I really don’t understand.”
Yu Xiaoyang observed the road conditions and turned on the left turn signal with his left hand.
He was silent for a while, "Didn't we look for it last time, but couldn't find it?"
"Of course I remember that."
"We drove near the address you uttered, but we only saw a lawn, where we drove whity around for almost 2 hours. No matter how you look for it, we just went around the same way."
"That's right, " Li Qiao drank the last sip of oat milk, "then you said: I'll turn around for the last time, if you don't find it, don't believe it."

"As soon as I turned around, I saw a big red cross. It was still a big church!"Yu Xiaoyang still felt incredible when he thought about it.
“Aren't we all scared?It's not that we can't see, how could we ignore such a big building, and we are all sure that the street of the church has been detoured many times."
Li Qiao has always been hard-hearted, even though she is a woman, she is very rational and logical. Except for the thing that made everyone's heart hurt so much that she spent all her energy, and the whole person looked decayed and haggard, this was the second time she couldn't force herself to be rational.
Yu XiaoYang felt the same.
He's a veteran -- the deputy company commander of the Special Operations Forces Army, and he never believes in evil at midnight. No matter what kind of ghosts it is, in the army, one is one, two is two, and there is no such gossip.
It was the first time he experienced this kind of paradox, but he still didn't believe spirit. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to explain it scientifically, but it was still supernatural.
Dad doesn't object to that?
How could it be..., Yu Ruoling pretended to look at the scenery whizzing past the window, she was so surprised that she was going crazy, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
She...it should be because of abnormal hearing in her ears today, right?When did her special forces generals become such a puny something, chatting like a little girl and studying this kind of thing?!
Since the passing of her younger brother, their family has been drying clothes at night as usual on the Ghost Festival.
A big red color floated by in front of her, Yu Ruoling silently repeated it in her heart with no expression on face, and remembered it firmly.
"Let's see what it is."

A wooden desk surrounds the little three people. Zheng Jingyi stared at Yu RuoLing with a gloomy expression.
Making an old stalk: If eyes can kill, then Yu must be enough to die hundreds of times.

Although a child in the third grade of elementary school would not cause much harm, Yu Ruoling herself was only a "premature" junior, she deliberately looked away and asked knowingly.
"Tell me first, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
"Is it your turn to talk?If it wasn't for you, how could Qingfeng ignore me!"
"I didn't ignore you, okay!Can you stop...don't keep sticking to the bull's-eye, "Li Qingfeng remembered a word that was just right to describe the current situation, "and don't stick to me all the time!"
"Then why do you look for her every day and ignore me?"
"Because...because Ling is not as sticky as you!I don't like people who keep fawning on me like a mosquito."
Excuse me?Yu Ruoling was stunned, then...who just wanted to chat with you, you think it's all flattering?It's a little too self-centered...
"But I want to be a little closer with you, and I'm the first to talk to you at the beginning of school!"Zheng Jingyi immediately retorted loudly.
"Wait, listen to me."Yu joined the battle circle, "Qingfeng is already relatively influential in the class, and she was the first to talk to me when the school started, but have you noticed Qingfeng has no interest in those who like to play with her?"
"..."
Yu took a deep sigh like an adult, and stared at the table.
Before she met Qingfeng, her way of making friends was very passive, especially after her younger brother passed away, those some active courages were all gone. To put it simply, it is like a slight autism and a severe sense of self-existence.
She hope that the more low-key the better, the less people pay attention, the better she likes. It is best for everyone to treat her as air, and she will definitely run a happy circle first.
At that time, Yu also didn't like to communicate with her peers. The experience of being squeezed out in kindergarten cast a lot of shadow on her, which was an important factor in turning "active" into "passive".
Well, the goodwill towards peers is even lower, but still not afraid.
In the past two years, Yu Ruoling's perspective has been much higher than that of her peers. It's not a mistake for Zheng Jingyi to want to make friends, but...
"Zheng Jingyi, your approach is too warm. Can you imagine two strangers who don't know each other suddenly hug each other and kiss each other?"
"Ling, it sounds very perverted!"
And Zheng Jingyi looked at Li Qingfeng suddenly, "...I'm sorry."
...
Q: What do you think about the enlarged round eyes with wet single eyelids?Ask Li Qingfeng, president of the Moderate "Appearance Association".
A: Disarm and surrender.
Yu Ruoling sneered in her heart.
*
Carrying the lunch bag, she was walking home, thinking about the conflict between her friends that was finally resolved today, and thinking about the situation of going to church with her parents yesterday for Sunday.
The phrase "two strangers who don't know..." actually happened in her world.
First, as soon as they stepped into the hall, a group of "staff members" in orange vests rushed to shake hands with them. Then, when they entered the hall and began to sing songs, everyone was high as if they had eaten something strange.
After singing, they all shook hands and hugged together. Especially when an uncle suddenly came over happily and hugged her father, then her mother, and finally shook her hand lovingly and touched her head...
The whole world is confused, okay?she is really confused.
Are these people really taking the wrong medicine?Everyone doesn't know each, really doesn't know at all.
The most terrifying thing is that she feels very warm, happy and safe... But, she was just hugged by a group of "completely" unknown people?
How can these people be so comfortable?It's like some celebrity concert, and everyone wants to sign autographs together?
...
"Pfft..., how cute."
"Ruoling, what are you talking about?"Zheng Jingyi turned to ask curiously while eating Li Qingfeng's snacks.
"No, I dreamed yesterday that a group of weirdos were rushing to hug me."
