With the help of the cripple, or rather, the "first person to try something new", the residents of the downtown area became less suspicious and more trusting of the small free clinic tent.
Gradually, more and more people lined up outside the tent waiting for the free clinic, which made everyone excited, especially Xiao Niao and Bai Yinglan. The two young ladies were like they had won a battle, with smiles all over their faces and running around enthusiastically.
When the lame man was about to leave with the medicine, he looked at the girls inside and outside the tent, and finally his eyes fell on Tianyang. He said earnestly: "There are so many girls, you have to take care of yourself."
Tianyang was stunned for a moment: "I'm in good health."
The lame man shook his head and said, "You are such a foolish boy. It's hard for these girls."
After leaving Tianyang with words that puzzled him, the lame man limped out of the tent and returned to his grocery store.
That day, they were busy until the evening before they sent the last patient away. At this point, all the medicines that Xun brought had been delivered. Looking at the empty carriage, the girl looked very satisfied.
"Thank you all for today."
Turning around, Xun bowed to Tianyang and others.
"You're welcome, Miss Xun. I feel that today has been very meaningful and I should be the one thanking you." Bai Yinglan responded generously and politely.
Xun smiled brightly: "I also think it is very meaningful. If there is a chance in the future, I will continue to hold such activities."
Xiao Niao took Qian Hong's hand and raised it together: "Then next time, let's continue to be volunteers."
Qian Hong looked reluctant: "Why do you want to drag me into this..."
Xun covered her mouth lightly and smiled faintly, her eyes inadvertently swept across Tianyang's face, but saw that there was not much smile on the boy's face.
"Tianyang, what's wrong with you?" Xun asked softly.
Tianyang came back to his senses, shook his head, and said softly: "Nothing, I just felt a little tired after a busy day."
The little bird was the first to jump up and make trouble: "You didn't even hand out a single flyer this afternoon, and you still have the nerve to say you're tired."
Tianyang smiled without explaining.
Bai Yinglan smiled and said, "How about we go out for dinner together? I know a pretty good restaurant."
This proposal was immediately approved by all members, and even Xun did not refuse.
Originally, Bai Yinglan wanted to invite the staff from the medical center to go together, but they declined, so Tianyang and others agreed to go to Shangcheng District.
On the road, Tianyang was driving and looked at Xun beside him from time to time.
The girl looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Tianyang sighed softly in his heart.
Xun had good intentions for today's free clinic. She wanted to do her best to bring some changes to the Lower Town. She could only treat the residents of the Lower Town, and it could only benefit a very small number of residents. This kind of help would not bring about any major changes to the Lower Town.
That's like throwing a small stone into the sea. I'm afraid it won't even create a wave.
The situation in the Lower City did not happen overnight, and there were complicated conflicts of interest involved. Moreover, I am afraid that even the top leaders of the fortress have no intention of changing their minds.
After all, those big shots are too high up to see the darkness at the bottom, and they don't care about the lives of the ants at the bottom. For most of the top leaders, those "parasites" in the downtown area are not irreplaceable.
To them, those people are just some labor, some numbers.
They would not care about the health of these people like Xun, even Bai Yinglan and Xiao
Young ladies like Niao have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to today's free medical consultation activities.
But they don't really care about these people. To them, these poor people are no different from poor stray cats and dogs. But they can't be blamed. After all, it is difficult for people from two different worlds to understand the life in another world.
Only people like Tianyang and Xun, who come out of the lower city, will understand how difficult life is for the people there.
Because he understood this, the boy knew that change could not be achieved with the power of just one or two people.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Xun's idea is wishful thinking, even naive and ridiculous.
But at least, she took positive actions and tried to change. This alone is admirable.
In the books Tianyang had read, there were many examples showing that those changes that shook the foundations of the world and triggered turmoil all began with some ridiculous, naive, and even absurd ideas.
The car drove onto the highway in the upper city. The evening sun shone in from the sea, falling on the girl's body, giving her a layer of holy glow.
Looking at her, Tianyang suddenly had an idea.
Maybe one day, this girl's brilliance will illuminate the whole world
In the evening, they dined at a high-end restaurant in the upper city. Bai Yinglan ordered a very rich meal, and the girls drank some wine, and even Xun drank half a glass.
The atmosphere at the dining table was lively, with young faces reflected in the light.
Just outside the restaurant, on the other side of the street, a magnetic car was parked. In the car, Lieutenant Zi'an put down his telescope.
"Zhifeng, we must have offended some adult, right?"
"Look inside. Our target is having dinner with four lovely and beautiful girls. They are eating delicious food, enjoying good wine, and immersing themselves in the warmth."
"But what about us? It's cold, hungry, dark, and there's no pretty girl to accompany us. So, we must have offended some adult, so we were assigned this job..."
The night will always pass and the day will come on time.
When the time pointed to seven in the morning, Tianyang woke up on time. The boy stretched in bed and jumped out of bed with satisfaction.
As soon as he walked out of the living room, the boy felt like he was being watched. However, the gazes that fell on him today felt a little strange.
Tianyang thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that this was a look of jealousy. Xuanji felt strange. How did he offend the other person
After breakfast, he was planning to go to the headquarters for training, but just as he changed his clothes, the doorbell rang and the boy had to go open the door.
"Good morning, Lieutenant Tianyang."
A voice as gentle as the sunshine in March sounded, and for a moment, Tianyang thought he was hallucinating. Because the person standing outside the door turned out to be the female priestess of the Lord of the God of War, Mu Qing.
Although there were several people with different auras behind Mu Qing, who were obviously here to monitor her, it was indeed unexpected for Tian Yang that Mu Qing could actually move around outside the church.
"What? You don't want me to come in and sit down?" Mu Qing blinked and asked playfully.
Tianyang said quickly: "Please come in."
Mu Qing nodded gently to the people behind her: "Wait outside for a while."
The few people did not answer and quietly dispersed. From the positions they occupied, it was clear that they were all experienced fighters. The positions they stood in had implicitly blocked all the spaces in and out of the building.
.
"Don't those people need to come in?"
Tianyang turned around to look at the priest. Mu Qing had already walked into the living room and sat down by the window.
"It's okay, just let them wait outside."
Tianyang shrugged. Since Mu Qing said so, he didn’t care even more.
"How have you been lately, Priest?" Tianyang sat down opposite Mu Qing.
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Thanks to you, although there are some restrictions on my movements, everything is fine."
Tian Yang said sincerely: "That's great. The priest is here today, isn't he here to visit a friend?"
Mu Qing's eyes sparkled, as if they were filled with sunshine: "I'm here to congratulate you, Lieutenant Tianyang, you have passed the assessment. Just wait for the blessing ceremony the day after tomorrow, and you will be a Templar of our church."
Tian Yang was startled: "Priest, did I hear correctly?"
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Of course not, or do you not believe me?"
Tianyang waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's just too sudden. Besides, don't you say that Templars need to go through assessments? But I don't think I have ever participated in any assessments."
Mu Qing said calmly: "The mission of Beidou Base is the most rigorous test. Being able to return safely from the cracks inside, even if it's just luck, Lieutenant Tianyang has the qualifications to become a Saint Hall!"
"in addition... "
"This is an early farewell. I may not be able to attend your baptism in the church."
Tian Yang was surprised and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Church of Cardinals in East Continent."
Mu Qing showed a fascinated expression on her face: "After submitting my report, the church leaders decided to transfer me to the Cardinals' College in Donglu."
"I will continue to study doctrine there. Maybe you can see me there in the future if the lieutenant can steadily advance his position in the church."
Then we will most likely not meet. If possible, after meeting Zuo Mohan, I will try to get rid of my position in the Holy Church... The young man, who had never thought of "working" for the church, had a simple thought in his mind.
"Promotion is too far away, and I don't know what position I need to be promoted to be eligible to be transferred to the College of Cardinals." Tianyang smiled perfunctorily.
Mu Qing leaned forward slightly and said with a little excitement: "The fact that the Lieutenant can be regarded as a 'skin' shows that the Invisible Ones think highly of your potential. So I believe that the Lieutenant will definitely have a chance to be transferred to the Cardinal Court."
"As for the position, above the Cathedral is the Grand Cathedral. The Grand Cathedral is an important position that commands the Templars of the local church. If you can play an important role in this position and be promoted to Rank 6, you will have the opportunity to become a 'Silver Crown Knight'."
"Silver Crown Knights are usually responsible for guarding the Cardinal Court, so you see, there is every chance that we will meet again."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Tian Yang always felt that Mu Qing seemed to be hinting at something...
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door, and then the door opened. A monitor with combed hair and dark blue eyes said in a deep voice: "Priest Mu Qing, we should leave."
Mu Qing adjusted her expression, no longer showing the excitement and excitement she had just now: "I know, I'll be right there."
She stood up and reminded him again: "Lieutenant Tianyang, don't forget to attend the baptism in the church. The official notice from the church should be delivered to you within today."
“Congratulations again.”
