After doing all this, it was already late.
Tian Miaomiao went to the kitchen to make herself some simple food. After eating, she went to the first floor for evening prayers.
In front of the cross of Jesus, she held the thick Bible in her arms and read it. After finishing a chapter, her slightly hesitant mood almost calmed down and she felt a little sleepy.
I fell into a deep sleep all night.
The next morning, the sky was just getting light.
This was the church prayer time that all the townspeople knew, but the church bell rang unexpectedly.
Boom boom boom——
Outside the church, the regular sound of the hanging clock attracted the attention of many townspeople.
Tian Miaomiao, wearing a nun's uniform, stood in front of the church gate and invited the residents to enter. After several rows of benches on the first floor of the church were filled with people, she began to announce "God's latest prophecy" while holding the Bible.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some bad news to share with you. This news concerns the lives of each and every one of us, and it is also a divine oracle from God."
She said this with a look of compassion on her face, and the residents sitting on the benches covered their mouths nervously.
"Oh! Good heavens! God bless you!"
"What's going on?!"
The residents in the church were whispering to each other, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces, and they all looked at Tian Miaomiao who was standing in front of the cross of Jesus.
"The oracle indicates that an unstoppable disaster will befall our town. We will all face the test of death. Everything in our town may be destroyed."
"Oh my God, Sister Mary, is this true? This is horrible!!"
Mrs. Winnie, sitting on the first row of benches, covered her mouth and spoke in disbelief.
Tian Miaomiao stood there in a nun's uniform, looking at the skeptical people on the bench with a compassionate expression on her face. She raised her hand, made a cross in front of her chest, and said nothing.
Things have to be done step by step. She knew that as long as she revealed the news, the reality that followed would naturally help her increase her credibility. Explaining it over and over again would be redundant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please leave now," she said, extending her hand.
CRACK——
After a while, the residents of the town left one after another, and the church door was ajar. Then the sound of prayers came from inside, the voices were pious and rhythmic.
Although the residents outside the church who heard it did not believe it directly and do anything about it at the moment, they kept it in mind.
After they returned, the news gradually spread throughout the town in less than a morning.
Of course, Jiang Shan and the other four also heard the news.
The fur shop had just opened in the morning, but no customers had come in to buy anything.
Albert, the owner of the fur shop, stood at the door of the shop, frowned, took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and sighed to Bart with a melancholy look on his face.
"Sister Mary said in church this morning that God gave a sign that a disaster might befall this town, and no one knows what will happen."
Bart was standing nearby, holding a whip to supervise Jiang Shan and the other two as they moved the goods. Upon hearing this, he smiled and started to talk:
"Oh! Old Albert, how come I didn't know you were such a devout believer and believed in this?"
Aber exhaled a puff of smoke, tapped the cigarette between his fingers and looked at him:
"Bart, you're still young and don't understand the thoughts of people my age. I'm already old and just like to live a simple life. I don't want anything unexpected to disrupt it."
"oh!"
Bart smiled teasingly and comforted him, "Old Albert, don't worry too much. These predictions may not be reliable and will only scare ourselves!"
"The important thing now is to enjoy life. It's not too late to consider other things after they happen!"
After hearing this, Aber lowered his eyes to look at the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, but raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Well, you have some truth in what you said."
This was the end of their discussion of the prophecy.
The reason was not that they couldn't continue the conversation, but because Bart saw that Jiang Shan and the other two who were moving goods had slowed down at some point, so he walked over with a whip in hand.
With one person missing, Abel was the only one standing at the door, and his conversation naturally stopped.
"Brother Jiang, I just heard Bart and the store manager talking about a disaster prophecy. Could this be related to our main mission?"
"I heard it too. I think it was said by a nun in the church."
Jiang Shan frowned after hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Bart walking towards him with a whip in his hand out of the corner of his eye.
He gave them a look and said, "Finish moving the goods first, and we'll talk later."
Zhao Liang and Zheng Qiang also reacted quickly. When they saw this look, they moved as needed and left as needed, and in the blink of an eye they had moved to another place.
"You guys are standing here again..."
Bart came over and was about to scold the three men for being lazy, but he saw that they had already walked away on their own. It seemed as if what he had just seen was just an illusion.
Seeing this, he stopped cursing halfway through and just snapped the whip in his hand twice to express his dissatisfaction.
At this time, the temperature under the sun is not low.
Bart stood by the carriage, pacing back and forth, watching the three men move things. After a while, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't stand it any longer and angrily warned them, "Work hard, all of you. Don't be lazy."
After saying that, he turned around and strode back into the store to rest.
Jiang Shan and the other two listened to his footsteps going away, looked up and exchanged glances with each other without saying anything, but silently quickened their work pace.
After the wages were settled that afternoon, Jiang Shan and his two companions reunited with Zhu Yingying.
