Chapter 679: Slipping Away

The Sacred Heart Cathedral is the only church in the city, which was built by Catholics from Italy during the Republic of China in the Peace Zone. The whole church www.biquge.info is a typical Gothic building. It has four tall minarets, three pointed arch entrances and a circular rose window in the center of the main span, creating a dignified and beautiful façade, which looks more white and straight surrounded by green pines and cypresses. The lobby is in the shape of a cross, with a construction area of about 3,000 square meters and a height of 18 meters, and the spire of the bell tower is about 32 meters high. Standing in front of this exotic building rich in Western characteristics, no matter how irritable your heart is, it will be inexplicably quiet.

By the time the three of them arrived at the outskirts of the church, the Christmas atmosphere was already very lively. In front of the main entrance of the church, an artificial pine tree was erected, decorated with small lamps, purple in a water, extremely gorgeous, and there was a white fluorescent five-pointed star on the top of the tree, which looked pure and holy in the night. The white strip of light decorates the main wall around the church, setting off the tranquility of the night and showing the power and beauty of the holy light. Countless people who came to the church for Christmas Eve gathered, men and women, old and young, gathered at the entrance of the church. Although there were many people, it was very quiet, and there was no noisy scene.

In addition, on the street near the church, many stall owners have set up stalls, some selling roses, some selling church-related accessories, and some selling various books related to Catholicism. At first glance, it is also very lively, like a small night market.

Lin Xiaohu and the three of them stood outside the crowd, silently watching this scene.

Lin Xiaohu suddenly said with emotion: "If you don't come here, you don't know that there are so many Chinese people who believe in Catholicism. Xu Zhenzhen said: "Faith may not be, maybe these people are just like us, come to join in the fun." Lin Xiaohu said: "That's also strange." You say that you are a good Chinese person, why do you believe in other people's foreign religions? Xu Zhenzhen said: "It's a joke? Who says Catholicism is a foreign religion? Religion is not limited by nationality and belongs to the whole world. Didn't Buddhism also originate in India, but now it has become a religion in China. There is only one religion native to China, and that is Taoism. Who else does, you see? Lin Xiaohu said: "This also better reflects the essential characteristics of Chinese people who worship foreign countries." Xu Zhenzhen sneered: "I'm here to have fun, join in the fun, who will talk to you about human nature?" After speaking, he said to Guo Maomao: "Sister Maomao, you see how uninteresting our husband is." ”

Xu Zhenzhen heard her say "our husband", she couldn't help laughing, and said, "Then you transform him and make him more interesting." Xu Zhenzhen nodded and said, "I will." Xu Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile again when she saw that her expression was very serious.

The Christmas Eve event at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is scheduled tonight: Eve Mass, five to six o'clock; The holy drama "The Lord's Love is Deeper" from six to seven o'clock; Tourists visit the church from seven to nine o'clock; After nine o'clock there is a candlelight service of Holy Love; Midnight is midnight mass.

Lin Xiaohu and the others were already past six o'clock when they came, and the holy drama "The Lord's Love is Deeper" was being staged in the church at this time. The three of them followed the flow of people into the church, and Lin Xiaohu quickly saw the interior scene of the church that was difficult to see in his life.

tall columns, to say the least, hundreds; The gorgeous frescoes set off the sublime and holy atmosphere of the church; Bright red silk, which extends from under the huge lampstand in the middle of the church roof, is divided into four sticks, and after a graceful arc in the air, it is attached to the lampstand in four directions. Golden light stands, flaming candles, bright ribbons...... This arrangement alone adds an unknown amount of sacred and luxurious flavor to the lobby. The depth of the lobby is about the size of a large theater screening room, and the innermost is a high platform, and I don't know whether to call it the rostrum or what the stage, and at the moment a drama-like "holy drama" is being staged above. Under the stage are more than a dozen rows of seats, which are full of people, and everyone is watching the performance on the stage intently. There are also hundreds of spectators who don't have seats and just stand in the open space behind the lobby.

Lin Xiaohu counted, there were at least five or six hundred people in the lobby, so many Chinese people gathered together, and there was no noisy movement, which was really amazing.

The three of them found a place and stood there, enjoying the performance on stage with other tourists who came to admire the visit.

After a while, Lin Xiaohu heard a familiar woman's voice on the right: "Zhenzhen? It sounded familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, but if I wanted to remember where I had heard it, I couldn't do it, and I looked at it curiously, not knowing it, and I was so frightened that my heart almost didn't jump out of my cavity, and I hurriedly turned my head.

On his right is Guo Maomao, and on his right is Xu Zhenzhen, who is hooking his arm with Guo Maomao's arm, and at this moment, on the right of Xu Zhenzhen, a tall and well-dressed long-haired beauty is standing and greeting Xu Zhenzhen with a look of surprise. If you are not mistaken, this beauty is Yu Zixiao, the sister of the nemesis Yu Renhao. How did she get here?

Lin Xiaohu was frightened, like a little white rabbit basking in the sun who suddenly encountered an unexpected wolf, just thinking about escaping from the church as soon as possible, and didn't want to stay for a minute.

He wasn't afraid of Yu Zixiao, what was he afraid of her? There's nothing to be afraid of her. is the opposite of being afraid of her, I still like her a little bit in my heart, and I think that my relationship with her is not bad, after all, the two have drunk alcohol and slept with her. What I am really afraid of in my heart is that I am worried that she will know my true identity, and I am even more afraid that she will know that she is Guo Maomao's fiancé.

If she knew her true identity, with her cleverness and cleverness, she would guess that she had another relationship with Wu Annie, and maybe suspect that she was also involved in the murder of her brother, which would not be fun. If she knew that she was Guo Maomao's fiancé, and she had slept with her, who knew if she would do something unfavorable to herself? She only needs to show that she is very familiar with herself in front of Guo Maomao, which is enough to drink a pot by herself.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he just wanted to get away immediately, but how to explain it to Guo Maomao? Suddenly, I had an idea, yes, why don't you say it's going to the toilet? lowered his head and was about to tell Guo Maomao to go to the toilet, when he heard Xu Zhenzhen say: "Haven't you always wanted to see my sister Maomao, she is also here today." Sister Maomao, introduce you to a good friend......"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaohu didn't catch his breath, almost didn't cough violently, hated Xu Zhenzhen so much that his teeth itched, and said in his heart You are a dead girl, it's not that you don't know my "holiday" with Yu Zixiao, and took the initiative to introduce Maomao to her, why don't you want to think about it, your husband is next to your sister Maomao? She Yu Zixiao saw your sister Maomao, can't she see your husband? You are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

How dare he talk to Guo Maomao again, when she turned to look at Yu Zixiao and blocked Yu Zixiao's sight at the same time, she turned around and drilled into the pile of people on the left. The crowd wasn't dense, and he got in easily. However, the scene was so solemn and solemn, but he walked through the crowd like a clown, which was really a bit of a scenery.

Everywhere he passed, everyone looked at him in wonder, and some people showed incomprehensible boredom on their faces.

Lin Xiaohu also knew that he had affected many people's mood to appreciate the holy drama, but there was no way, he would rather lose face in front of a hundred outsiders, and he would never let Yu Zixiao know that he was Maomao's fiancé, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell.

He quickly crawled through the crowd, escaped from the church through the left portal, and when he came to the outside of the church, he let out a few breaths, quite a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.

In the church, Yu Zixiao looked at Guo Maomao, a woman who had been pursued by her younger brother, and nodded secretly, although her appearance was not a peerless beauty, but she was also moving, her figure was not the most punctual, but she was better than graceful and quiet, it was a typical lady, that traditional Chinese virtuous woman type, if his brother could marry such a woman as a wife, it would not be his great blessing, but unfortunately he didn't have that blessing, he couldn't marry her, but he had nothing to do outside, causing trouble, resulting in the current disabled and sterile unlucky ghost. Alas, I can't really say.

Yu Zixiao has been in the provincial capital for more than half a month, and has been trying to get close to Wu Annie, trying to find out her flaws. It's a pity that she didn't know that Annie Wu had already recognized her identity with Lin Xiaohu, so when she came into contact with her for a while, she was acting with her. Poor Yu Zixiao was born in a famous family and has not been deeply involved in the world, especially when she comes into contact with people with a low social level like Wu Annie, it is like a flower in a greenhouse encountering a strong grass in a field that has experienced strong wind and rain. Wu Annie later didn't take her seriously at all, treated her as a toy to play, and even often took the initiative to invite her out to eat and chat, taking the opportunity to show her gentle and virtuous side and reduce her suspicion of herself.

In the end, Yu Zixiao also knew that she couldn't find out anything through herself, Wu Annie was either the real murderer, and she covered it up very well, so she couldn't find her flaws, so if she stayed, she still couldn't find her flaws; Wu Annie either has nothing to do with the murder of her brother, so it makes no sense for her to stay. Just in time for Christmas, she was distraught and prepared to go back to her home.

She is not a devout Catholic, the reason why she appeared in the Sacred Heart Cathedral tonight was also because she was invited by her best friend to come over and have a good vision for the coming year, but she didn't expect to see Xu Zhenzhen as soon as she entered the church, and then met Guo Maomao, who she had always wanted to know.

Guo Maomao, Xu Zhenzhen and Yu Zixiao, although they may not all be regarded as celebrities in the provincial capital, they are definitely **, in the provincial capital. Although they come from different backgrounds, they all cleverly entered the same circle in the end. This circle is invisible, and they may not really enter, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are all in this circle, so there is a natural sense of intimacy between each other. Although there is sometimes competition with each other, most of the time, they can still help each other. The key word here is: the same kind, sympathetic to each other!

Because the general environment of the church is quiet and solemn, Yu Zixiao and Guo Maomao didn't talk too much after getting acquainted, so they stood beside the second daughter, enjoyed the holy drama on the stage with their girlfriends, and planned to make friends with Guo Xu's second daughter after leaving the church.

Guo Maomao and Xu Zhenzhen soon discovered that their common "husband" Lin Xiaohu had disappeared. The two daughters both felt very strange, and they looked around, where could they find him?

Guo Maomao asked in a low voice, "Did you see him?" Xu Zhenzhen shook her head and said in a low voice: "No, it's gone as soon as you hit the eye, how can you play a big change of life?" ”

The second daughter searched around again, and finally confirmed that he was not in the church.

Xu Zhenzhen's eyes swept over Yu Zixiao's beautiful face, and her heart suddenly moved, could it be that he was afraid of seeing this eldest sister, so he slipped away?
