Chapter 406 Heavy Love
When Li left Fox's house, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was the address of his new home.
Li walked along the street, getting closer and closer to his new home, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
Finally, a few steps away from home, Li stopped.
After taking a look at the warm window where a figure was swaying, Li sighed and turned away decisively.
Li walked along the road and soon found the location of the church.
The people of the North had a conflict with the capital and no longer supported the temple, but they retained the church.
I have heard for a long time that Pastor Martin and others are sorting out the scriptures, preserving those pure and useful doctrines, with the intention of making the faith purer.
When Li arrived at the church, he found that the door was still open and a pastor in a linen robe was giving food to the poor.
"Reverend Martin."
The pastor, whose name was called, turned his head curiously and saw Li walking out of the darkness.
The warm yellow light of the church shone on Li, making the already handsome boy look like a god descended to earth.
Martin handed two pieces of bread to the ragged man in front of him, said "the goddess will bless you", and then turned to communicate with Li.
"You're back. I heard you were doing something important in the capital. I thought you would stay there."
"This is my home. I have to come back after being away for a long time."
A few more homeless vagrants came to the door of the church, and Martin asked Li about it.
"Would you like to help me distribute the bread?"
"if you can."
Li helped Martin for half the night, and finally helped the tired Martin back to the church to rest.
"I'm really old and my body is no longer useful."
"You are still young, and those poor people are counting on you."
"…The one they can really count on is you."
Pastor Martin was deeply moved when he saw the young man Li again.
Two years ago, the North was still a dilapidated rural area where hungry refugees lay on the streets waiting to die.
Nowadays, most people can find jobs to make a living, and only those with congenital defects or serious illnesses come to the church to seek alms.
These major changes were all brought about by Li.
Compared with the goddess who is high above, Li is an angel walking on earth.
"You can just assign some young and strong clergy to be responsible for the nightly alms. Why bother yourself to this extent?"
"Because I don't want to forget my original intention. You know, the church has become what it is today because the older generation of clergy were unwilling to step out of the house."
The decline of any organization starts with small things, when someone is negligent in doing things but does not make a big mistake.
Next time, someone will still be negligent, until this negligence becomes a rule and is recognized by everyone.
Li understood what Martin meant and did not discuss the issue any further.
But Martin touched the corner of his eyes and smiled embarrassedly.
"In fact, I had already fallen asleep, but I was woken up by the urge to pee. As I get older, it's hard to fall asleep again after waking up, so I had to go to the door to kill time."
Seeing Martin admit his embarrassing situation, Li laughed along.
Sitting in the renovated church, Li found his heart slowly calming down.
“…I came here today to ask about Theresa.”
Lee told Martin about the argument between Theresa and Rose that he had witnessed at the city hall during the day, wanting to learn more about the situation from him.
"Theresa, that child is simple-minded. She only knows how to stand on the weak side and doesn't know how to adapt. Did she cause any trouble?"
Lee shook his head.
"Speaking of which, there have indeed been many important figures coming to the North recently. They say they abide by the rules of the North, but in reality they still want to maintain their noble arrogance."
Li fiddled with his fingers a little impatiently. He had already anticipated the situation Martin described.
To anticipate it is one thing, to be able to accept it is another. When the problem is really put in front of him, Li still feels uncomfortable.
"So, it's the nobles' investment that has caused a conflict with the local poor people... This situation is difficult to handle. I would like to ask you to advise Theresa not to confront them anymore."
After sorting out the situation, Li stood up and wanted to leave, but Martin took his hand and asked him to sit down again.
"Li, I know that the conflict between the poor and the nobles cannot be mediated, just like humans and demons are natural enemies. However, Theresa is not such a stubborn girl. If you want to know why she went to the city hall to argue, you have to ask her in person!"
Feeling the strength of Martin's grip on his arm, Lee nodded and said that he would take this matter seriously.
Li stood up again, but was held down by Martin again.
Li looked at Martin with suspicion, but saw a cunning look on Martin's face.
"I just said that I can't sleep. It's rare that someone comes to accompany me. Let's talk more~"
Li cursed this perverted old man in his heart.
If you were a great beauty, I would naturally be willing to chat with you late into the night, but you are a priest who exudes the smell of an old man. If a necromancer and a priest sit side by side and chat at night, even the goddess would laugh out loud when seeing them!
Under Martin's coercion, Lee finally sat on the church bench all night.
By the time he returned home at dawn, Li's eyelids had shrunk together and he couldn't keep them open.
Li returned home in a daze. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his mother holding a pot. The pot exuded a strong aroma. This was the breakfast that his mother had carefully prepared.
"Why did you come back just now? Do you know how long we waited for you last night?"
“…I’m sorry, I went to the church to visit Pastor Martin, and ended up being dragged into reading the Scriptures all night.”
"Haha~ That old guy Martin, why is he bothering you for no reason? You can't even find a good excuse!"
Rose put the pot down, scooped out a bowl of sticky food, and stuffed it directly into Lee's hands.
"Mom knows that there's a new sex shop opening on the next street. We have a good girl waiting for you at home. Stay away from those disgusting women out there!"
"Mom, what are you talking about! I really went to church... No, mom, what is this food you gave me!"
Li picked up the bowl and took a mouthful of the mushy soup. The complex taste filled Li's mouth and throat, making Li feel like he was eating pig food.
"I left some rice and dishes for you last night, but you didn't come back, so I threw the food into a pot and heated it up for you this morning."
"Then this is just pig food! Are you my real mother?"
Li's biological mother, Rose, ignored her son's wailing. She picked up her lipstick and put on some makeup in front of the mirror in the living room.
The beautiful mother, after confirming that she is charming in every aspect, went out to work in a happy mood.
"Xiao Li! Remember to tuck in the corners of Li's quilt. Kicking off the quilt in this season will still cause you to catch a cold."
Li's mother's voice of advice came from outside the door. Hearing this heavy care, Li and Xiaoli looked at each other.
