Along the way, in addition to enduring the heavy dust mixed with the stench of rotting corpses, you also have to avoid horse manure under your feet that you don't know when, which is really enough! I watched my comrades gradually shift from fear of death to dissatisfaction with the rudeness of the Aetius convoy in front of them. Immediately, I felt that the heavy atmosphere around me was much lighter, and I didn't mean the stench floating in the heat!

The soldiers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, everyone covered their noses and glared angrily, the convoy in front of them, unlike them, I was not surprised by this kind of thing, I cannot say so, mainly because I particularly longed for Aetius who was sitting in the carriage in front of him, although there was a great deal of dissatisfaction and white eyes behind him, but he sat comfortably in the carriage, and the one who rolled his eyes at him was walking, and had to endure the dust carried by the horses' hooves and wheels. Who is looking down on whom, I think the audience on the side of the road can see this at once.

"May God have mercy on you, my children," as he walked, he heard an old voice on the side of the road, and looked up to see an old man in a black robe, technically a priest. He was holding a thick book in his left hand, I think it was the Bible, and I don't know if Christianity at this time could guarantee that every priest in Rome could have a Bible of his own, he wore a golden cross on his chest, and he held an olive branch in his right hand, and he closed his eyes and said something in his mouth, and he didn't know which passage of the Bible he was reading. There was a child standing beside him, his immature face looked much more cute, in later words, it was a little fresh meat, but this little fresh meat was holding a copper plate, which was full of water, and the old man dipped it in the water with an olive branch, and kept swaying it on the soldiers who had entered in front of him. In the same way, I was stained with the drops of water that were like raindrops. Splashed all over my face, and my hands were covered in that damn droplet.

You say that this march, sprinkling water on your body for no reason, and the smell that permeates the air is disgusting enough, who knows that this water is holy water from a well?

I whispered and reached out to wipe the water off my face, when Andrew grabbed my hand. Looks like he's trying to stop me from wiping my face.

"This is the holy water in the city of Rome, and if you wipe it away, you will wipe it away with the blessing that the priest gave you."

Oh, there are blessings with this water bead! As a typical, resolute materialist and atheist, if I refute Andrew, it must be so much that he is speechless, but if you want to come back, forget it, this uncivilized fellow, even if you say that the heavens cannot shake God's position in his heart. I obeyed Andrew and put down my hand, but the water beads were really itchy on my face, and people like me who were extremely afraid of itching could only bear it silently.

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the end he will stand on the earth. After the destruction of my flesh, I will see God outside the flesh......" The old priest began to babble again, opening the book in his hand and reciting aloud word for word.

"What did he say?" I was puzzled and asked Andrew, who was beside me, but Andrew just shook his head, how could he, a reckless man, read the Bible.

"Old Testament. Job. A voice on the other side answered me, only to hear the voice continue: "This is speaking of Job's faith." No matter how devastating the blow or the desperate circumstances, we must not give up hope and faith. "Looking for the sound, I saw a beautiful face, right next to me, I had been gone for a while, and I didn't have any idea of him.

"Aurius. Luga" I took the initiative to stretch out my hand, he stared at my hand, hesitated, but still reached out to shake it with me, and said, "Bosius. Fermio! ”

"You're not a nobleman?" I listened to his name, and there was a noble surname missing from it.

"Hmm," he nodded.

"And how do you know the words in the Bible?" But I thought it was incredible, because in my image how it was possible for the common people to come into contact with this so-called quotation of God.

"My family has a little money, so I worked as a librarian for a while." Furmio lowered his head and replied shyly, as if he was not very good at dealing with people.

"Well, I met a literate young man!" I joked, and Andrew burst out laughing. Andrew, this guy can be regarded as taking the initiative, and directly stretched out his hand to Fermio to introduce himself, seeing the enthusiasm of the two of us, Fermio still smiled awkwardly, at least he could chat about homely things along the way, which would make time pass faster.

"Hey! Luga, look! ”

Just as I was about to ask Fermio where he was talking about the library, Andrew tapped me on the shoulder as if something had happened and pointed not far ahead. I looked in the direction of Andrew's fingertips, the figure on the side of the road, dressed.

"Ana?" I wasn't sure, I squinted my eyes and looked at it carefully, yes, it was Ana, she was still wearing the light blue dress that day, and she was carrying a wooden basket, but the man in front of her, why did she look so much like that bastard guy Levi!

Anai lowered his head as if he had made something wrong, and said nothing, but Levi was talking endlessly, and he didn't hear what he said. No, Levi, this bastard is there, and there must be no good thing! He must be feeling uncomfortable and going to trouble Anai again! As soon as I think of this, I hate this traitor so much that I grit my teeth.

"Hey!"

Feeling that the situation was not good, I didn't care what formation I was, and rushed out of the team, and the centurion of our phalanx saw that I was so unruly, and hurried to stop me, but can this stupid strong man outrun me? I strode all the way to Anai's side, and the centurion who followed me grabbed me, but Levi's eyes were forced back, and he stood by with great interest.

"Ana, he's bullying you again?"

I didn't bother to talk nonsense either, so I asked Anai directly. Anai turned around slowly, and the gloom on her face dissipated a lot, replaced by a faint smile, which had become an expression for me compared to Levi.

"Here, may God bless you be safe."

Anai smiled lightly, but her face was still so pale, and her body didn't look better after a day passed.

"Ana, you don't have to."

I gently pushed away the wooden basket she had handed me, and I knew it was full of bread, and I knew what it meant to both mother and daughter. In such a situation of eating and drinking, I could no longer accept her in return. I then said to her, "Go back, it's not a safe place." As I spoke, I glanced at Levi. A hint of loss flashed across Ana's face, but she quickly raised her head again, grabbed my hand, and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "This is for you." ”

I only felt a cold palm, and I quickly clenched my fists, for fear that what Anai gave me would fall. Levi gave me a cold look, said nothing, turned and got on his horse and left, I don't know why he stayed.

Looking at Anai again, she stroked a strand of loose hair and looked straight into my eyes, "Your Excellency, I will pray to God for you until you return!" ”
