List of strange talismans

Chapter 40 God Grants Your Plea

There was a brief commotion among the crowd.

"Angri! The devil is calling your name!"

"Angri! The devil wants to eat your son!"

The rumors got out of control in front of Gu Xiuya's eyes, and in the end there was even a saying that the devil wanted to catch Angelet and get married.

"Angelet is not here."

Ma En walked up to Gu Xiuya, with a cold expression on his face: "What do you want him for?"

Gu Xiuya did not answer.

He stretched out his hands, embraced the sky, closed his eyes slightly, and turned his ears, as if he was listening to some kind of voice from above.

The crowd fell silent at this singular movement.

After a while, Gu Xiuya opened his eyes.

"I've had a revelation."

"Angri is heading towards the church right now."

Mann snorted coldly.

"Angri's child is about to be born. He has been taking care of his wife at home during this time, and even missed church. How could he come to church at this time?"

Gu Xiuya said without turning his head, "Because his child was born prematurely."

Mann was taken aback.

"Impossible! Margaery is as strong as a cow. She gave birth to two children, and she was never born prematurely!"

A resident who knew Angelet loudly denied it.

Gu Xiuya didn't care, just looked up at the road outside the church.

1 minutes, 2 minutes.

Time passed quietly in the howling wind, and the church fell into a strange silence for a while.

Suddenly, Gu Xiuya smiled lightly.

"he came."

Startled, Ma En stepped on his feet and looked up.

The crowd followed him and turned around.

A little fire appeared on the dark night road, and the sound of the thin-soled shoes falling on the bluestone ground was dull but clear.

Someone is running, very fast.

"It's Angelet!"

someone exclaimed.

People quickly saw the man running. He didn't know how long he had been running, his face was sweating profusely, he was panting, his expression was tense and helpless, and he kept yelling.

"Father!"

"Father Marne!"

Ma En was shocked, he left the crowd and went up to him: "What's wrong?"

"Margery, Margery, she was born prematurely and bled a lot."

The 40-year-old Angelet panicked like a child. He grabbed Ma En's hand, and his face was full of anxiety: "I want to send her to Taya Town to find a doctor. Can you lend me a carriage?"

Marne was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he came back to his senses and dragged Angelet to the stables behind the church.

"I'll take you there."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Angelet finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes showed gratitude, and he kept thanking him.

Ma En didn't say anything, but his feet moved faster and faster.

The crowd also started to move.Some people say that they know some folk remedies to stop bleeding, which can help.Some people said that they had given birth to five children and could take care of Margaery, and more people followed to the stables, wanting to help pack the carriage as soon as possible.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.

"Father Marne, do you know how much blood a person has?"

Marne paused.

"Do you know the distance between Taya Town and Galanz Town in kilometers?"

Mann was stunned.

"Do you know how many minutes is the best rescue time for heavy bleeding in premature pregnant women?"

Man's hands were shaking.

"you know"

"enough!"

Marne shouted angrily.

He turned around and stared at Gu Xiuya: "I'm just trying my best to save a mother! A child!"

Angelet stood beside him blankly, at a loss.

He couldn't understand Gu Xiuya's words, but he had a guess that he didn't want to believe it.

"You can't save her."

Gu Xiuya stood on the steps, his black hair and black robe almost blending into the night, only a pair of eyes looming in the dim reflection of the fire.

"Only my God can."

A clear and calm voice echoed in the night sky.

These prayer-like words reminded everyone that the devil-like man had predicted Angelet's arrival long ago.

Someone grabbed Angelet and whispered something.

Soon, Angelet raised his head and asked Marne in a trembling voice, "Father... is what he said true?"

The crowd turned their heads.

Marne opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He really wanted to refute Gu Xiuya's disrespectful words, and really wanted to tell Angelet that Heavenly Father would bless her wife.

But this time was different.

If he said so, if everyone believed so, the price would be two lives.

Just like he didn't believe what Gu Xiuya said, the heavenly father would send down a heavy rain as punishment.

He also did not believe that Heavenly Father would really appear for a farmer and bless Margaery.

As a cleric who has served the Heavenly Father for half his life, Marne knows very well that his god has never brought glory to Galanz.

Decades of prayer and worship have yielded no answer.The rumored omnipotent and omniscient Heavenly Father, like those high-ranking congressmen, has completely forgotten this barren and miserable land.

At this moment, Ma En felt inexplicably confused.

——If humbly begging does not bring mercy.Then what is the meaning of existence in this church and him in the church?
Is it just to add an inconspicuous symbol to the corner of the huge territory of the church?

The crowd was silenced by Marne's silence.

Suddenly, the young man who was the first to oppose Gu Xiuya's preaching stepped on his feet and waved his hands in the crowd.

"You, can you save Aunt Margery?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Gu Xiuya who was on the steps.

Mann also looked over.

At this moment, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.He didn't know whether he was expecting everyone to expose each other's lies, or whether he was expecting some kind of impossible miracle.

"of course."

Gu Xiuya's voice was decisive and calm, his eyes neither sad nor happy: "As long as he begs my god."

"I beg you!"

Angelet knelt down with a thud. He had already understood what had happened from others' retelling. Among the people present at the moment, no one believed in Gu Xiuya more than him.

"I beg you and your God, save my wife, save my children!"

Angelet fell to the ground, his shoulders twitched, and there was an uncontrollable sob in his voice.

Many people were infected by his sorrow, and the corners of their eyes were a little red.

In this era of backward medical care, giving birth to a child is a narrow escape.There are more or less female relatives who died in the hundreds of families on the field.

"God grants your plea."

Gu Xiuya stepped down the steps.

The crowd separated spontaneously.

"In a hurry, I need a horse."

The horses from the Holy Kingdom of Peria ran very fast, and it took only 3 minutes for Angelet to take Gu Xiuya to a small two-story wooden building on the west side of the town.

Pushing open the wooden door, the pungent smell of blood came to the face.

A middle-aged woman with a hooded head rushed out with a washbasin, and in the basin were strips of sackcloth that were completely stained with blood.

Seeing the two of them, she was slightly stunned, and then showed horror: "Angri, did you bring back a demon?"

"Margaery is in the bedroom, I'll take you there."

Angelet didn't answer her. He explained something and was about to step forward, but Gu Xiuya held him back.

"Next, I will communicate with the gods and perform holy healing. You cannot be present."

"Take her out the door and keep people quiet."
