Chapter 1275: Hidden Story, Sadness Begins
Monsters cannot speak. He could only struggle and roar under the pressure of the giant hand like a waterfall of light. Ordinary people can only hear anger in this reaction, perceive a kind of uncontrolled chaos. As for the Lightbringer, he could hear despair and the deepest sorrow in his voice.
There are very few lives that can show such extreme emotions, and once they can produce such strong emotional fluctuations, it almost means that a sufficiently unforgettable story has happened to him. And what kind of story could make this monster react like this? The Lightbringer became curious, and driven by this curiosity, he began to delve deeper into the story of this monster.
The memory in the monster's brain is fragmented, like fragments of a broken mirror, almost impossible to be pieced together. However, when the Lightbringer set his sights on those children, with the help of their limited memory, he already had the ability to piece these pieces together. And when he pieced together the fragments he saw bit by bit, a sad story slowly began to unfold before his eyes.
This is a story of a missionary, a missionary of Christ who sticks to an orphanage.
The story begins with a Christian who has a tragic experience. He is a half-breed, with a father he has never met and a mother who has no ability to take care of himself. His mother left him when he was very young, and after losing the protection of his parents, he could only survive on his own ability. At that time, perhaps by luck, he met his mentor, an old Christian. And under the guidance of that mentor, he joined the big family of Christ.
In India, the development of Christ was not smooth. And his mentor was no blind Christian. Rather than saying that he believes in God, it is better to say that he believes in the goodness called God in his heart. Yes, he was a kind man who lived in poverty and gave his all to those who needed his help. Although materially speaking, he is not rich. But on a spiritual level, he is almost equivalent to owning the entire world.
Unfortunately, this cannot change the fate of the old Christians. Years of poverty and fatigue made him die early. As his only disciple, Christian thus inherited his church and his career.
A Christian is not as pious as an old Christian. He cannot be completely selfless for the good in his heart. For a long time, he lived a life of duty. And in that case, he got married and had kids of his own. But it is a pity that a cholera took everything from him, and his wife and children died of a sudden disease.
This disaster almost completely destroyed his faith and made him almost lose hope in his own life. He was decadent and depressed. The huge blow almost tormented him out of shape. During that time, he was the dirtiest and most asshole, not to mention a dutiful Christian, but even a drunkard.
He was in a daze all day long, only knowing to curse his God and question why fate tortured him so much. Of course, it was impossible for him to find the answer he wanted to know from that almost gibberish questioning. So he can only continue to sink in this pain and sorrow until he dies completely, or there is a turning point.
Maybe it was fate that finally detected this sad life inadvertently, and it finally moved a heart of compassion for him. Therefore, a special turning point appeared in his life.
It was a morning after a heavy rain, and a hangovered Christian staggered out of his dilapidated church. When he woke up, he almost subconsciously wanted to get drunk, but just as he pushed open the door of the church, a loud cry of a baby stopped him.
That voice was almost exactly the same as the voice of his aborted child when he was born, and it was for this reason that his nerves, which had been poisoned by alcohol for a long time, finally trembled after a long absence.
He began to look for the source of the sound, and soon, he found an abandoned baby in the corner of the church. It was a girl, and her dark complexion showed her humble origin. In this country with strict hierarchy, children like her were almost destined to have such a life.
Poverty, distress. If you live in those places where the conditions are harsh and harsh, you may often suffer from hunger and disease. This is unavoidable, because this is the way this country is, and this is how this society is. And it is precisely because of this clear understanding that Christians understand why this baby was abandoned here.
The child's parents may really be unable to raise her. Their lives are likely to be poor, and they may have to make great efforts just to support themselves. And before this child, they may have had several children. Those little lives that are waiting to be fed may not necessarily give them happiness, but may also be a huge pressure that they cannot bear. No parent wants to abandon their child if possible. If it is not a last resort, who would abandon their children?
Christian himself is also a father. He knows how important a child is to his parents. So he could understand what kind of prayer it was for those parents who abandoned him to deliberately leave this little life in front of the church. They hope that this child can be rescued. When they do not have the ability to raise him and let her grow up, they hope that these priests who sing hymns, these believers who are supposed to be noble people, can give their child a The future, a hope of living.
Is this wish too much? Not too much. But does it work? Christians cannot guarantee this. He can understand the thought of the parents of abandoned babies thinking of saving their children in this way, but it doesn't mean that as a pastor, he can do everything they dream of.
Christians know very well what they are like. He has been immersed in alcohol anesthesia for many years, and he may have even lost the ability to take care of himself. It makes no difference whether he lives or dies. Raising a delicate baby in such a state of walking dead. This is simply impossible.
It can be said that at that time, the first reaction of Christians was to abandon the baby, rather than rekindling their fighting spirit to raise her to adulthood. And just when he was hesitantly planning to send her out, a ray of light shot through the broken glass of the church and hit the cross in the church.
Devout believers will see their god, their god, at this time. But Christian doesn't see that, he sees himself, and the mentor who is like a father to him. He knew that if his mentor was alive, he would definitely adopt the child. Even if it would add a huge burden to him, he would definitely do it. He devoted his whole life to practicing the true meaning of kindness, and even in temporary times, he entrusted Christians, hoping to inherit his behest and be a kind person.
And did he do it? He didn't, his life was muddled, not to mention being a noble person who could benefit others as the old Christian expected. Even if he was a person of some value, he couldn't do it. He lived in this world without any meaning at all, except to live, to live like a walking dead, and he didn't do anything that the old Christian expected at all.
Is this worthy of the upbringing and teaching of the old Christians? Does it really make sense for him to live like this? Christian didn't dare to think about this question at all at this time, because he knew that the answer would definitely make him feel heartbroken.
At this moment, he realized his mistake, and at this moment he recalled everything the old Christian had taught him. Looking at the baby in his arms, he began to wake up, and then, he finally regained his faith.
Not the teachings of God, but the nature of goodness. With faith in his heart, he quit his alcohol addiction and began to devote himself to taking care of the baby. It was the first baby in his care, but not the last in his care. Having regained his faith in life, he started his new journey in life.
He began to search and rescue those poor children in this cruel land, and with his meager strength, he began to take care of them and raise them up. He turned his church into an orphanage, and he used his labor to raise children who had nothing to do with him.
For him, these children have nothing to do with him. They called him father, and it was this father that made him finally understand the meaning of living in this world. Dedicating oneself to others and using all one's own to irrigate those existences full of future is far more joyful and happy than sinking into self-destruction. That kind of spiritual satisfaction is definitely better than all the compliments and awards in this world.
From that time on, he finally understood what his mentor had been pursuing all his life. And from that time on, he finally found the meaning he should pursue in his life.
He dedicated all of himself to these children. For him, these orphans raised by him are all important in his life. For them, he can endure all sufferings, for them, he can endure all tortures.
Although life is poor, he is happy and satisfied. Perhaps his lifelong vision is just like this, to bring up these children one by one, and to bring the children who need his help to him. Use up your whole life to bring them smiles, use up everything you have to shape a future for them.
He believed that by doing so, he could finally leave with a smile one day, and be able to face his mentor and his father proudly in that fabled kingdom of heaven. He thought his life would be like this, but he didn't expect that fate's pity for him had already ended, and now it was time for it to mock and play with him maliciously.
