Chapter 174: Poor Couples Have Many Sadnesses

Dr. Bella's heavy cough came from the room. The sound was hoarse and weak. It must be the noise from the two of us that woke him up. This poor old man has suffered so much, and I can't wake him up like this anymore. I know it's really painful.

I quickly shut my mouth and covered Tenaia's mouth with my hand, putting my index finger in front of her mouth and making a "whoa" sound, signaling her to be quiet.

"Where do you sleep?" I asked Tenaia.

Tenaia couldn't speak because I covered her mouth, so she pointed to the fireplace. Next to the simple fireplace was a patch of what was strictly speaking a weed field, with a small blanket spread on it.

"This is your bed?" I was stunned by the scene. I thought that at worst, I could still have a simple animal skin mat like when I was on the march. That was the limit of my discomfort, but until I saw Tenaia's bed, I realized that sleeping on animal skin was indeed a sweet memory.

"The conditions are really tough. Can a delicate woman like you really endure it?" With doubt in my mind, I let go of Tenaia and came to the simple bed. I reached out to try this so-called bed. The rough grass was originally piled together in a mess. In order to prevent skin damage, a thin layer of cloth was laid on it. I pressed hard, and the creaking sound of the grass sounded very harsh. I tried to lie on it again, and my whole body sank into it. It was really soft, but how could a layer of cloth block the rough discomfort?

"How long have you lived in this environment?" I turned around and asked Tenaia.

"Five days?" Tenaia stretched out five fingers, but it seemed wrong. She looked up at the roof and thought for a while. Then she stretched out another finger and added it to the previous five. "Six days, six days, that's right!" She had no idea how to count six with one hand, but she was still thinking very seriously. Her big eyes with tears in them looked very cute.

"Well, thank you for your help." I climbed up from the pile of hay. I must have been too tired. Tenaia followed me and lay down on it.

“Oh my God!”

Tenaia's face was full of satisfaction, which seemed to have instantly forgotten all the unhappiness with me. She lay on the haystack and sank into it. She even rolled around in it happily, as if the discomfort caused by the dry grass branches inside did not affect her.

"Luka, lie down quickly!"

Tenaia poked her head out from the haystack and waved at me excitedly. She spoke very softly, but I could hear her.

"Oh my god, it's only been six days!"

I stroked my head. There were indeed some psychological barriers that I couldn't get over when I had to sleep on such a "bed". Tenaia was not affected at all, she was still very happy.

"What's wrong, my husband?" Tenaia stared at me, as if she was waiting for me. She waved her hands helplessly, pouted her lips, put on an innocent look, looked at me pitifully, and then said to me: "This is really the only way! I hope you don't mind."

"Dislike? Ha, how could that be?"

I said, and sat down, lying with Tenaia. Tenaia's eyes were full of passion again. How much did she like Luca? Could it be that she really didn't think too much? I asked in my heart, how could I ask her? I didn't dare, for fear of hurting her again.

"My dear husband." Tenaia looked at me, and she didn't look so happy at this time.

"What's wrong, dear?" I looked at her and felt that she seemed to have suddenly thought of something, so she became a little lost. Could it be that she was keenly aware of something? My heart couldn't help but tighten, and I didn't know why. I had never felt this way before. It was like being caught cheating. The feeling of hiding and being afraid of being discovered made me panic. I tried my best to keep a calm expression and looked at Tenaia, looking into her eyes without hesitation. I was very nervous, waiting very nervously to see what she would say next.

"When are we going to get married?" She looked at me for just a moment, then looked away. She thought carefully and said, "But we have to go to church to get married so that the priest can witness our love. But you also know what they did to my father, so there is no way we can go to church."

"We are together, why do we need to let those stupid old guys witness it?" I retorted to her. At this moment, the stone in my heart was lifted up and suddenly fell to the ground, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

"But this must be witnessed by God before we can be together legitimately!" Tenaia looked at me seriously, as if this was an iron rule that no one could change.

"Then let me ask you." I looked at her, moved closer to her, and sniffed her unique body fragrance (I don't know why, but I heard that two people who love each other deeply can smell each other's unique fragrance. The strange thing is that I smelled it on Tenia, but not on Ana. But I didn't care about it at the time, and answered her question wholeheartedly) "You said God, is he omnipotent?"

"Yes, that's right!" Tenaia nodded repeatedly. "I mean, the missionaries in the church all said so, and gradually, people all said so."

"That's it!" I looked at Tenaia and continued, "He is in heaven watching all of us. He is omnipotent and upright. He is in heaven watching us, and he is omniscient, right?"

"Yes!" Tenaia was mesmerized by what she heard.

"Then he must know that we love one another. If we know that we love one another, why do we need to let those old-fashioned priests know?"

"Yes, God knows..." Tenaia thought for a moment, looked at me with great surprise, and said, "Oh my God, how did you know so much? You must have met some amazing priest, right? Oh my God, it's incredible, dear, you are much better than those old guys living in the church!"

I just smiled and didn't say anything. To put it bluntly, with the education I received, it's not easy for me to deceive others, but it's easy to deceive the silly Tenaia.

“Cough cough cough…”

While we were still talking and laughing, a violent coughing suddenly came from Dr. Bella's house. This time it was different from the previous one. It was very violent and serious.

"What's going on?"

Tenaia and I stopped discussing and quickly got up and ran to the room where Dr. Bella was.
