"Is this the interesting place you said? It is indeed difficult to see this kind of building."
A female voice came out from the church. It sounded very clear, but the accent didn’t look like a local pronunciation. It might be that she grew up in other places and only recently came here to study.
"How about it, isn't it nice here? When my father bought the forest farm three years ago, we didn't find that there was a church here. When we found out, we had already paid for it. Because we don't know which god is enshrined here. , I didn’t dare to dismantle it hastily, so I just stayed here!”
The extremely arrogant tone made Jenkins involuntarily think of a female bird with gorgeous wings. He believed that this sentence should have been said by Miss Madison.
He risked his soul to leave his body for another peek, and saw that it was a tall girl with curly brown hair, standing in the center of everyone.
"Then, why not report it to the Orthodox Church and take it down?"
John asked from the side, and his question was supported by the vast majority of people, because everyone believed in righteous gods.
"Demolition? No no no, Williamette."
The girl turned around and looked at the boy sitting at one end of the bench. She deliberately moved her face closer, but you didn't expect that John would also stretch his head forward, forcing the girl to retreat.
Obviously, the third son of the Williams family is better at handling various interpersonal relationships.
"People in the neighborhood say that this place used to be the settlement of a church of false gods, but somehow it was abolished. They all believed that the church contained the treasures of that church. Even before our family bought this place, the villagers We have carried out 'treasure hunting' many times."
"Your family believes such rumors?"
A boy in the crowd with glasses crossed his chest and asked mockingly, then bumped the girl next to him with his arm and smiled triumphantly.
"Oppler, maybe this small piece of land is worth a lot to your family, but to the Madison family, the land occupied by a small church is nothing at all."
Seeing that there was a hint of gunpowder in the conversation, the people on the side hurriedly persuaded the two of them.
After all, they were classmates who went to school together, and there was no deep hatred. After a few words of persuasion, they snorted coldly at each other after finding the steps, which could stop unnecessary quarrels without losing face.
John Williams had been silent all this time except for what he had just said. He always felt that this place was very weird, but it was indescribable how weird it was, and in the end it could only be attributed to his own illusion.
The small church occupies a small area. Except for the prayer hall, the living room of the clergy at the rear can be reached through the corridors on both sides.
However, due to the severe damage to the building, under Miss Madison's warning, they did not go to those dangerous places.
John's attention has been on Miss Jennifer Hoover, she is wearing a very beautiful skirt today, and a blouse with a matching color is ingeniously worn outside the skirt.
John felt that his ears were hot and swollen, and his heart was beating faster, even though the distance between the two of them was not very close.
A group of people came here just to see this small church. They gathered in twos and threes, talking about the interior decoration of the church, or even more boring gossip.
Of course, John also had friends. Four or five boys stood together in front of the altar, but the wall where the holy emblem should have been hung was empty.
John felt his heart beating faster again. He turned his head and looked behind him, and unexpectedly found that Miss Hoover was also looking at him. The girl chuckled at John, who felt himself being shocked.
The hands in the pockets tightly hold the newly acquired banknotes, thinking in their hearts whether they should find time to give a gift.
"Guess, which great existence blesses this sanctuary?"
The voice of his companion pulled John back from his wild thoughts. He shook his head like an old dog drowning in the water, and reached out to undo the top metal button of his jacket to relieve the feeling of oppressive heart:
"No matter who it is, we should respect it. In my opinion, it is extremely unwise to allow an abandoned church to exist here for a legend about a treasure."
Of course, the boys talk in a low voice so as not to be heard by the owners here.
"Yo, I knew you would say that."
The companion folded his arms, leaned forward and poked John with his elbow:
"This is what your brother told you. If you ask me, he is really a great man."
"Yes yes, but stop trying to introduce your sister to him, I don't see him every week, I have moved out after all..."
John responded impatiently, and wiped the surface of the stone altar with his hand, but found no floating dust.
"The Madison family is indeed taking care of this place."
he said.
"Maybe we can find the treasure."
The red-nosed boy guessed excitedly.
"Then they were secretly silenced by the Madison family, and a small part of the treasure was taken out as our pension."
John continued to pour cold water on it. He never believed in such things.
Compared with the two elder brothers, it is difficult for the youngest son of the Williams family to find a bright spot. He doesn't have Newt's extraordinary reading talent and tenacious character, nor does he have the kind of intelligent talent that Jenkins had in the past. This becomes more and more obvious after he got rid of his bad habits and re-behaved.
But John's brilliance was only concealed by those two people. In fact, compared with ordinary people, he was still an extremely outstanding young man.
Maybe that's the downside of having brothers.
The church gave him a bad feeling, so he walked around with his companions and proposed to go outside to see the building as a whole. His proposal was supported by everyone, but was blocked unexpectedly.
"Maybe you can wait patiently for a while, I have prepared a surprise program for you here."
Miss Madison stood at the door of the church and looked at the young gentlemen, she pursed her lips and looked a little unexpectedly cute:
"Oh, alright."
The boy next to John stammered in response, blushing so that John wanted to cover his forehead.
Surprises always come with surprises, and Miss Madison's surprise was even more so. Dozens of minutes later, an old man with a cane and a top hat came in from the main entrance, followed by some strange people.
"Oh, look, our young men are here!"
Facing the students with open arms, before everyone could react, he shouted loudly:
"surprise!"
The black ring on the finger of the right hand shimmered, and the sound of the body hitting the ground sounded one after another. Everyone fell to the ground except Miss Madison.
