Chapter 29 The dream is shattered
The nuns were very friendly and did not despise them because of the shabby clothes of Ye Bei and the others. Everyone in the eyes of the Holy Lord was the same sin: "The Holy Lord is above, I am happy to share the Holy Lord's grace with you."
This is the nun's profession. She has a clear understanding of the contents of the "Holy Book", and can memorize the contents, allusions and thoughts in it.
"The Holy Lord created this world, the Supreme God. He created the Holy Church, and those who believe in him can go to that carefree place after death." The nun said excitedly and sincerely.
Zhao Hu and the others were all confused. What are the Holy Lords and the Holy Halls? They only know the gods and the ancestral halls and ancestor worship. This is the first time they heard of the Holy Lords, what are they all?
"Yeah, you keep going." Ye Bei said he wanted to listen more.
The nun had a bright eye. She had met a lamb who had lost his way. Of course, she was willing to tell Ye Bei all the teachings of the Holy Church.
However, Ye Bei listened but did not believe it. It was a bit difficult for him, an atheist. However, it is quite interesting to understand these stories and doctrines, and you can also understand the thoughts of believers.
After listening to it, she found that although the nun was fluent in preaching the content and his voice was very good, she obviously did not know that believing in God and worshiping Buddha was a kind of "bribery". Although Ye Bei was a time traveler, after all, after a year, he had seen worshipping gods in Zhaojia Village. Zhao Hu's mother believed in God and offered Buddha statues at home. When there was something to do, she would worship the whole family and bless the safety of her family. When there was nothing to do, she would be polite and take a form. People in Zhaojia Village would go to worship if they had something to do.
I am afraid that this is a very common phenomenon, that is, only those who ask for the gods will worship the gods, and they will prepare paper money and bribe the gods. If they don’t have what they ask for, they will not pay much attention to the gods.
So although the nun spoke very well, he was too formalistic and did not understand the essence of missionary work. Ye Bei had also been preached by his relatives before traveling through time. Because Ye Bei was a bachelor, when his relatives preached, they would say that someone in the church found a wife because he entered the church, so Ye Bei should also join the church to solve his lifelong affairs.
Ye Bei was so amused and asked his relatives that he was single, so he just wanted to get married, so he went to school. Some people were sick, were they for health, and some people were not rich, so they were in need of money?
But relatives said that of course this is true. As long as you have sincere wishes, you can realize it. Obviously, this kind of missionary method of getting whatever you want is localized.
As for the nuns saying that everyone is guilty, the end of the world, and the paradise of the Holy Church, these rhetorics can convince the people of the great powers, but they do not conform to the local style of Kyushu.
What the people of Jiuzhou need is practical benefits, to be healthy, have a prosperous family business, and get promoted and make money. If the Holy Lord can have these abilities, everyone will definitely believe it without hesitation.
"If you really want to join the church, you can go to Tonghai Cathedral to find me." The nun is now moving to Tonghai Cathedral.
"Let's talk about it for a while. You haven't talked about the origin of the Holy Church, how many schools, how many history, and how it has its development." Ye Bei was simply embarrassed by the nun. She just helped the abbot ritual and preached, and she was not a theological researcher, so how could she know these things?
But the nun still took out a thick "Holy Book" from his slanted bag: "All the answers you need are in it." She felt that Ye Bei really wanted to understand the holy teachings, and believed that the answers that the world needs could be answered in the "Holy Book": "This is the scriptures, this is history, this is the teachings of the Holy Lord, the answers of the world, and the result of all things." He devoutly handed the "Holy Book" to Ye Bei: "The Holy Book can answer all your doubts. If you read them with your heart, I believe you will definitely gain great results."
The nun said everything she could say, and next she was going to preach to others.
"The Holy Lord is above." The nun left after saying that.
"Brother Ye is amazing. This is the first time I have seen someone who can chat with a nun and finally talks to the nun until he has nothing to say. You are so amazing." Zhang San was drowsy throughout the whole process, but he also knew that the nun could not answer so many questions from Ye Bei, so he left.
"I'm just learning." Ye Bei really hoped that the nun would come back and continue chatting, but unfortunately the nun obviously would not talk about other content except for missionary preaching.
At this time, the guests had already returned one after another, the boat was about to drive, and the vendors left the port with satisfaction.
Woo--
The whistle sounded, and it seemed that the ship was about to set sail, and the people on the deck also returned to the ship warehouse one after another.
Ye Bei bought a bottom-floor ticket, a large warehouse where twenty people crowded together. The environment was very poor, it was not ventilated and had a great smell.
Sometimes Zhang San can’t buy tickets when he travels around the country, and he will squeeze in such large warehouses, so he doesn’t dislike anything. Zhao Hu and the others are a little uncomfortable. Although they can endure hardships, it doesn’t mean they can squeeze in a smelly place.
Qin Ying and Ye Bei were both lucky enough to resist the stuffy heat and odor in the warehouse.
"Persistence is victory." Ye Bei cheered everyone up. There were all kinds of people at the bottom in Okura, all of whom were full of garbled and dry.
There are mothers holding babies, and several half-old children, but most of them are still scattered adults, and many of them are farmers like Zhao Hu.
So Zhao Hu quickly spoke to another man. When he heard that he was going to Tonghai City to make a living, the two of them started talking.
Zhao Hu was very happy because Ye Bei had always been talking to outsiders, so he didn't have the chance to speak. Now there is someone who can chat, and he also wants to inquire about the situation.
But what they can say is "I heard" and has no actual experience, or there is someone in their village who has made a name for themselves in the city, so they also want to explore. They are both yearning for and afraid of international cities with a population of 4 million.
The most common sentence they said was: "Life is hard." Zhaojia Village has only suffered a disaster recently, but the villages in other places have long been dissatisfied. Not only do they have to pay heavy rent, but they also have to be arrested. Everyone has tightened their belts.
"There is no way, life is hard, otherwise who would want to go into the city? If you can't live in the village, you can only go to the city to make a breakthrough, and maybe you can settle down and take over the children and wives. There is no hope of staying at home."
Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask, "What kind of work does big brother do in the city to make money?"
"Of course I'm pulling a rickshaw, and I'm going to spend several bucks a day. If I'm lucky, I can make a fortune."
Zhao Hu also exclaimed: "So much, one ounce a day, one hundred ounces?"
Zhang San couldn't listen anymore. The job he introduced must be easier to make money than driving a rickshaw: "Brother Zhao Hu, rickshaws are not insured. Now rickshaws need a deposit and a commission. Even if you make one money every day, at least forty cents will be deducted from this hundred citations. Besides, not one hundred citations can be found every day, but the commission for these forty cents is unstoppable. Even if you don't have a single order in a day, you still have to pay so much. The rickshaw company will not postpone it." "So you should listen to me. Then you follow me and I will introduce your job."
"This master, is it really like this?" The farmer who fantasized about getting rich by pulling rickshaw and taking his wife and children into the city was stunned, as if his life ideals were shattered.
Zhang San couldn't help but sympathize with him, but the city was not so easy to do, so he couldn't help nodding: "That's it. It would be fine if you have the skills to be a carpenter and bricklayer. If you really just want to put in your strength, it would be difficult to earn thirty cents a day."
The man lowered his head and seemed to have collapsed.
For a moment, only the baby's crying was heard in the ship warehouse, and they understood the cruelty of reality too early.
Zhang San looked at him with a few truths and left everyone else no longer interested. He felt that he was right because they would understand it sooner or later.
