Chapter 175: The Crow's Mouth

The architecture of the church is not brilliant, there are no dazzling frescoes on the ceiling, and no tall red carpet. The chairs are the most common long wooden chairs.

In the center is naturally the statue of the Father, hanging on the cross.

In front of the statue is a podium, and further forward is a lotus-shaped baptismal pool, which is an altar for holy water.

I thought the two of them would sit in the first row, but just after entering the door, Adelaide sat in the last row on the right, looking very low-key.

"No one here knows our identities, don't mention the princess anymore." Little Mary blinked weirdly.

"Okay!" Li Zitao nodded clearly.

The priest came out, said some polite words, and after welcoming everyone, he took out the Bible and prepared to lead everyone to pray.

Li Zitao took another look and saw that everyone around had a Bible, but he was the only one with empty hands...

Nima, is this a prayer or a lecture, why do you need to bring a textbook!

Just as she was complaining embarrassingly, her hand sank, Adelaide shoved her Bible into Li Zitao's hand, "Don't talk, read along, page 13, Article 7."

Li Zitao didn't refuse the other party's kindness, he just opened the book and started to read, after all, he wasn't a guy who pretended to be a fool.

Adelaide beside him read silently even more fluently than him. After all, some uncommon words in the Bible are very awkward according to the Chinese language.

Li Zitao spent the whole morning chanting scriptures, which made him feel dazed, his eyelids trembled, and he almost fell asleep.

I really don't understand the West Classic, it's like telling a story, and it's boring. Li Zitao doesn't have the level of appreciation.

"Amen."

"Amen~" Hearing the sound of everyone closing their books, Li Zitao was quick-witted, and he instantly regained his energy.

"It's over?" Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse, Li Zitao closed his book and smiled.

"Yes, did you sleep well?" Adelaide asked casually.

"...Fortunately, I may be summoned by the heavenly father." Li Zitao licked his face and talked nonsense.

"Then you should lie there now, only the soul can see the Father." Adelaide said, pointing to the tombstone on the side of the church.

"Where's the priest? Aren't they able to communicate with the Heavenly Father?" Li Zitao still wanted to quibble.

"Do you believe that too?" Adelaide looked at him pretending to be surprised, as if she was paying attention to a mentally handicapped child.

Mmp~~

Is it really good for you, a believer, to say such things in front of the Heavenly Father’s territory?

"Come here to pray, just to purify your heart, not to superstitiously believe that the so-called Heavenly Father will save your life and soul when you are in trouble."

Adelaide said softly with the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "God loves those who save themselves."

"Well, thank you for his kindness." Li Zitao nodded seriously.

"Charlie, I have discovered your greatest strength, do you want to hear it?" Little Mary leaned over, looked at him with a smile and asked.

"What? Honest or handsome?" Li Zitao asked shamelessly.

"Your biggest advantage is that your face is as thick as the walls of Babylon." After finishing talking, little Mary ran forward with a big smile.

After winking at the monk, the personal bodyguard followed behind little Mary without losing his chain.

"Sasha, do you have any plans for the future?" Li Zitao asked with the Bible between his arms.

He had no intention of returning the Bible to Adelaide; he kept it in his possession, and it could serve as an excuse for a visit if necessary.

"I'm going to distribute food in the slums, let's go together!" Li Zitao would not refuse Adelaide's invitation.

It's just that Li Zitao is still a little uncomfortable with not having guards around her.

It is said that weapons are really flooding these days, won't you cause trouble like this?

"You are a crow's mouth." As soon as they entered the slums, Li Zitao and Adelaide were blocked in the alley, which made him want to slap himself twice.

"Hand over all the money you have on you," shouted the fisherman with the shotgun in his hand.

"Okay, I can give you everything, don't hurt us.

"Li Zitao didn't want to be shot, even if he couldn't die, it wouldn't feel good.

Besides, there is a princess dragging an oil bottle and her maid beside her.

Take out all the money in your pocket, and make two bundles of 100-dollar denomination rolls, making everyone on the other side stare wide-eyed.

Even rich people in this day and age would only bring cash with a denomination of $5 at most when they go out.

Like Li Zitao with 100 denominations, and there are two rolls around it, it's a blatant show of wealth!

"He just gave the princess a piece of jewelry, which is the brooch of the Egyptian queen." Just when Li Zitao thought the matter would end like this, the soy sauce maid jumped out.

"Hold the grass, what is this mother doing?" Li Zitao was confused.

"Manu, it's really you." On the contrary, Adelaide looked calm and looked at the maid with a bit of coldness.

"Why can't it be me? You aristocrats who are hypocritical and exploit the poor, why you can get everything when you are born, it's not fair."

The maid threw down the umbrella and bamboo basket in her hand aggressively, pointed at Adelaide and said aggressively.

"Shut up." Before she could continue to put on the posture of "a slave turns over and becomes the master", the fisherman stopped her with a yell.

"Hand over the things, and your pocket watch, sir." The other party raised the shotgun.

"Okay, I'll give it all to you." Li Zitao said, lowering his head and reaching for his arms, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

The income of nearly 10,000 US dollars is enough to maintain a stable life for one or two years, so I am still not satisfied.

Taking out his pocket watch, Li Zitao turned to Adelaide and said, "Give it to me!"

"No." Adelaide rejected him directly.

"Hey, that's a gift from me." Li Zitao shouted angrily.

"Then it's mine, no." Adelaide said coldly, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

"...Hold the grass, don't force me." Li Zitao shrugged his shoulders angrily.

"I said, no." At the same time as these words came, Li Zitao also saw the monk at the entrance of the alley, grabbed her by the shoulder and threw it vigorously.

Adelaide opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief, but she still suppressed her trembling body from screaming.

The expected pain did not appear, and Adelaide was firmly grasped by the monk's shoulders, and she was lightly placed on the ground.

"Don't move here." After the monk finished speaking, he rushed into the alley.

Bang, bang.

The muffled sound of a shotgun appeared in the alley, and little Mary came to her side and said with a blank expression, "Sister, you have gone too far."

"Shut up." Adelaide's expression became angry for the first time.

"He will know, you have no chance." Little Mary said coldly, then turned around and returned to the carriage following the roadside and did not appear again.

In the alley, Li Zitao held up the maid's body in front of her, with blood all over her feet, and believed that she would have been beaten into a sieve.

But these are not what he should care about. When he heard the sound of the bullet casing slipping from the barrel and falling to the ground, Li Zitao raised the maid in front of him and threw it straight forward.

That action was as fierce as throwing a shot put. The fisherman who was changing the bullet felt his eyes go dark, and he was knocked down to the ground.

But he was not the only one with a gun among these people. The two standing beside the fisherman drew their pistols from their waists and raised their arms to point the muzzles at his body.
