He didn't look like an old man at all, but looked like Lin Qi's old acquaintance Father Balin. Father Mai snatched the golden ticket from Lin Qi's hand with a swift move, and looked at it carefully before his eyes. WWw!QUAbEn - : "God will bless you!"
Lin Qi bowed deeply to Father Mai humbly and respectfully, and said respectfully: "The light of God shines on all of us."
Father Mai smiled even more happily. He took out a Holy Cross badge carved from old oak wood from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Qi. Lin Qi's eyes flickered. This badge, which was only the size of a baby's fist and had simple and thick carvings, had a strange light, as if there was some kind of deep white light coming out of it. Holding the badge in his hand, he could feel that there was something hidden in it. Not very strong, but extremely pure power.
There was a black silk thread on the badge. Lin Qi thought for a while, hung the badge around his neck, and then bowed to Father Mai again to thank him. He felt the aura of power from Father Mai that was the same as the white light on the badge. It was obvious that this badge was handmade by Father Mai.
Father Mai may not be very strong, but he is obviously a person with firm faith. His divine power is weak, but the quality of his divine power is extremely high and pure. The Holy Cross badge from the hands of such a devout clergyman, It has various wonderful effects, so Lin Qi naturally wants to wear it everywhere - at least seeing ghosts in the middle of the night is unlikely to happen to Lin Qi.
Father Mai stuffed the golden ticket into his sleeve with a smile. He held up his hands and chatted happily with Lin Qi and Enzo.
It's only a thousand gold coins. In Dun'erqi, those dandy boys may spend tens of thousands of gold coins on a meal or a sexual intercourse, but those who are the real leaders of wealthy aristocrats may spend a game of poker. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins were spilled. But in a simple town like Wright Town, one thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money.
Not to mention other things, Father Mai's small civil structure church will be completely renovated after the spring, from a not very strong civil structure to a complete stone structure, and the size can be expanded by at least three times.
The current church only has a prayer hall, a confession hall and a small courtyard where Father Mai lives daily. But with these one thousand gold coins, the prayer hall can become larger, the confession hall can be built more solemn, and the With the addition of some other functional buildings, even the small courtyard of Father Mai's house can open up a few more rooms and accommodate more people.
Father Mai can even apply to the upper church for three or five young clergymen to join because of the expansion of the church. As a result, the influence of the Wright Town Church can be expanded several times, and the light of God can naturally shine in more places. On the ignorant people.
One thousand gold coins brought Father Mai and the church a great opportunity for development, so Father Mai did not hesitate to give Lin Qi the Holy Cross badge that he had worn since he joined the church. Father Mai didn't say it clearly, but there was no need for nonsense in his intentions.
After chatting with Father Mai for ten full minutes, Lin Qi and Enzo carried the boxes and walked into the town. Father Mai looked at the tall and straight backs of the two men with a smile, and rubbed his slightly red nose: "Enzo, this little bad guy, has found a good friend. Well, God will bless you, don't start the spring. I need to find a team of reliable people to help me build a house!"
Holding six bottles of rum, Father Mai walked into the small church humming hymns. At this moment, Father Mai's heart was filled with satisfaction and joy. It's only one thousand gold coins. For a simple and simple low-level clergyman like Father Mai, one thousand gold coins means he has nothing else to ask for.
The size of Wright Town is neither small nor large. The entire town has a population of five to six thousand. There are more than 3,000 people living in the center of the town, and other people are scattered in the surrounding hills, farmland, grasslands and woods. There are two vertically intersecting streets in the center of the town. This is the most prosperous place in Wright Town.
Walking along the inner side of the Yamen, Lin Qi and Enzo walked through the snow, making a rattling sound that attracted the attention of residents on the roadside. From time to time, someone opened the window or opened the door and looked outside. Some people saw Enzo and just said hello lightly, but others greeted him warmly. …,
It can be seen that those people who looked very cold towards Enzo and whose eyes were full of jealousy were those who lived in a good living environment, their small buildings had obviously been repaired, and their clothes were quite new; The people Zuo talked to enthusiastically were all people whose clothes were in tatters and obviously patched. Their small buildings were small and shabby.
Soon a dozen middle-aged men and women gathered around Enzo. They greeted Enzo warmly and asked him why he didn't return to Wright Town for the New Year. There were even a few children with snotty noses hugging Enzo's legs, mumbling, not knowing what they were saying.
Enzo's usually serious and resolute face, like an iceberg, melted instantly. He hurriedly answered the middle-aged people's questions, while constantly reaching out and stroking the heads of the children. He put the big box on his shoulder on the ground, took out the best hams and sausages, and the fragrant wine and distributed them to these middle-aged people. He said generously: "Uncle and aunt, this is what I am giving you." Take your little gift, take it, don’t you accept Enzo’s gift?”
The uncles and aunts didn't show any pretense, they happily accepted Enzo's gift. When Enzo took out a large bag of candy mixed with milk and cocoa powder from the big box, the children who surrounded Enzo cheered. Enzo laughed and distributed these candies to them. The children jumped for joy and cheered like crazy believers who had seen the arrival of the gods. The laughter instantly broke the tranquility of Wright Town.
Especially when Enzo took out a lot of silver coins and distributed these shining silver coins to the children, not only the children laughed, but the uncles and aunts also laughed with fear and joy. Everyone's face was flushed. They all felt extremely happy because of Enzo's generosity, and at the same time they also felt an uneasy shyness.
Enzo didn't give these children too much money. This was not the imperial capital, nor was it Dun Erqi. He only gave five silver coins to each child, but in Wright Town, five silver coins could also come in handy. If Enzo gave them gold coins, it would cause trouble for them.
There was endless laughter. Accompanied by everyone, Enzo visited the homes of the uncles and aunts who had given him food and clothes one by one, and distributed the gifts he had brought to everyone.
Today's Wright Town is destined to be full of laughter. . )
