Chapter 69(1/2)
Testing
Xiao Yao returned home and calmly enjoyed the scolding and cool dinner prepared by his grandma. After a simple wash, he returned to his room, moved a small chair, stepped on it, and reached out to put the chair on the top of the chest of drawers.
I took down the small Bible.
Pat, wipe, huff, huff.
Isn’t it interesting to treat Yu Luying’s gift like this?
He lay down on the bed, held the small metal cross, and opened the zipper on the cover.
What they just said...yes, "The Life of Tobias" is found here, at the front of the Old Testament.
It seems...not very long?
Well... A long time ago, there was a beautiful girl named "Sarah". She was possessed by the demon Asmodeus and killed seven unmarried husbands...
"This, after killing two of them, there are still five people who dare to marry, which is also very brave." Xiao Yao said to himself.
Sarah was distressed and begged God to die. God listened to Sarah's prayer and sent the archangel Raphael (Author's note: usually translated as "Raphael") to save her.
Archangel... is the highest level, right? With such a high standard? It seems that this demon is difficult to deal with. From this point of view, the White Knight is even more suspicious.
The phone shook. Xiao Yao picked it up and looked at it. He was happy when he saw that it was from Shen Jie.
"Zhou Qi has been hospitalized and her family members are here. She hasn't woken up yet but the doctor said her life is not in danger. I'm rushing home now. You go to bed early and don't think too much. I'll come find you tomorrow.
"
When Xiao Yao saw this message, the burden on his heart became much lighter.
He thought for a while, did not reply, and continued reading the story.
Hey, I didn’t expect that I would not be able to read it back.
Archangel Raphael descended to earth and transformed into a happy young man. He walked with the male protagonist "Tobias" and caught a strange fish on the banks of the Tigris River. Finally, he used the fish's heart and liver to drive away the demon Asmodeus.
From then on, Tobias and Sarah lived happily together...
Huh...huh...
Unknowingly, he fell asleep with the small Bible in his hand.
He had a dream about his and Shen Jie's wedding night.
Shen Jie was wearing a Chinese-style, bright red bridal outfit, embroidered shoes, and white stockings. She had a pretty face under a red scarf, looking quite shy.
With the sound of fabric rubbing together, Xiao Yao happily took off his shirt and trousers.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Jie lifted the bride's headscarf and said, "Brother, get up! Let's pray together and ask our Lord to show mercy and bless us."
Xiao Yao said: "Okay." Then he pulled up his pants without hesitation, and knelt on the bed covered with a red quilt with Shen Jie.
“God of our ancestors…praise you throughout all eternity…You created Adam, and it was you who made Eve to be his wife, to be his helper and support…I married this sister not because of lust, but because of lust.
It comes from pure intentions. Please have mercy on me and her, and grant us a long life together!"
"Amen!" "Amen!"
As soon as he and Shen Jie finished speaking, the familiar concrete mixer truck crashed through the west wall and rushed straight towards the wedding bed.
And the one sitting in the driver's seat holding the steering wheel is that damn Asmodeus!
Xiao Yao and Shen Jie looked at each other and jumped up. Don Quixote and Bloody Mary also jumped out and started a battle with Asmodeus.
The rest of the plot was completely messed up. It felt like you were chasing me and escaping and fighting all night. In the middle, Xiao Yao dreamed that he had become Zhang Zhengkai, and the powerful white knight was his spiritual fortress.
It is inaccurate to say "becoming Zhang Zhengkai" because in the dream, Xiao Yao didn't feel there was anything wrong with him being Zhang Zhengkai.
…
…
When Xiao Yao woke up, it was still dark, which made him judge that he had only slept for a few hours.
He picked up the phone and found that it had turned off automatically. When he plugged it in, his eyelids suddenly dropped - it was already Sunday night.
Good luck...
"Grandma, where's the food?" Xiao Yao left the room holding on to the wall.
"Food, cook your own food! You just do this every day, either you go out to soul-searching (note: in Shanghai dialect, it's similar to "going out to wander") and don't come back, or you get sleepy..."
The old woman was cursing as she took out the leftovers from the refrigerator and put them on the gas stove to heat them.
"Oh, grandma..." Xiao Yao obediently stepped forward and hugged grandma's fat waist from behind.
"Let's do it!" Grandma flexibly pushed Xiao Yao away: "It's such a hot day..."
"Grandma, it's so hot. Don't be reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. The air blown by the electric fan is very hot..." Xiao Yao glanced at grandma's room. The door was not closed, and the floor fan was facing grandma's room.
Liang Xi slowly shook his head.
"I'm not like you, young master! I leave the air conditioner on till late one day and don't even turn it off when I go out. You don't need to pay anyway!" Grandma said fiercely.
"No way, did I leave it on when I went out yesterday?" Xiao Yao was surprised.
"I'm going to go on a cruise ship in two days. Now you're free! Will you burn down my house?" Grandma picked up the rag and the big bowl of meat soup and put it on the dining table in Xiao Yao's bedroom.
Walk.
"Are you leaving so soon? I thought it was July." Xiao Yao muttered, "With that old man again?"
Grandma put the meat soup on the table, ran back to her room, opened the closet, and opened the drawer.
"This is your living expenses during the summer vacation, so use it sparingly!"
"Ah? Just a little bit?" Xiao Yao pinched the envelope. It was not very thick and he was disappointed.
"Your dad said that if he gives you more, you will have money to go online!"
"I promise not to go online!"
Grandma obviously didn't believe this, but she still took out a few red bills from another roll and handed them over.
"Thank you grandma!" Xiao Yao was overjoyed.
The money was handed to Xiao Yao's hand, but grandma did not let go: "I want your father to know! Be careful when surfing the Internet!"
"Grandma..." Every time Xiao Yao was moved, he didn't know how to express it.
"Grandma, grandma! Go, go, go! I only call grandma when I want money!"
"Hahahahahahahaha..." A girlish laughter like silver bells came from outside the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." The ajar door was blown open by the wind at some point, and a petite girl stood in the stairwell, holding a beautiful fruit basket in one hand and covering it with the other.
My stomach can't straighten up.
"Shen's signature laugh..." Xiao Yao murmured.
"Xiao Shen, why are you here? Come in, come in." Grandma ran out again: "Come on, come on, you can buy something."
"I didn't buy anything, just some fruit for grandma." Shen Jie controlled herself and walked in: "It smells so good."
"Did you have dinner?" Grandma asked.
"I've eaten." Shen Jie smiled and said, "It's okay, I can eat some more."
The girl was wearing a peaked cap today, with her long hair loose, a pair of very short hot pants, and a centimeter of white sock edge exposed from the upper of her high-top canvas shoes.
"Xiao Yao, why don't you get Xiao Shen some slippers?"
"Ah, ah." Xiao Yao looked away from Shen Jie's snow-white and pink thighs in a daze: "Are these pairs okay?"
"Is yours too big?" Grandma said.
"It's okay, it's not big." Shen Jie put on Xiao Yao's other pair of slippers nonchalantly and walked towards Xiao Yao's bedroom.
The three of them sat down around the square table. Xiao Yao devoured the hot leftovers while listening to Shen Jie and his grandma chatting about home affairs.
"Grandma's cooking is so delicious!" Shen Jie's hollow short white socks bounced under the table, and Xiao Yao's heart bounced along with the slippers on her feet.
"They are all home-cooked dishes." Grandma said with a smile, "Can Xiao Shen know how to cook?"
"Well... I don't have much fever, so I'm quite interested." Shen Jie thought about it for a moment and replied.
Don't tell me, this atmosphere really feels like home, Xiao Yao thought.
"I'm going to go on a cruise ship in two days. It will take more than two months." Grandma said: "Don't tear down the house when this kid is home alone. Xiao Shen, you have to keep an eye on him for me."
Xiao Yao and Shen Jie were both stunned. The former thought to himself, this seems to be grandma's second or third time seeing Shen Jie, right?
How did she manage to not treat others as outsiders?
"Okay, I'll try my best." What was even more unexpected to Xiao Yao was that Shen Jie just responded: "Cruise ship, my mother has been there too. Grandma, what's your route?"
Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and checked the text messages.
Both Xiao Xiong and Father Yu sent messages asking if Xiao Yao was safe, but there was no news from Yu Luying.
Shen Jie sent several messages and 4 missed calls.
Xiao Yao raised his head and looked at Shen Jie, who was chatting and laughing with his grandma, and felt secretly happy.
