Chapter 46 (1/2)
After leaving Lyle's house, Loren immediately turned back to the church. But instead of going back the same way, I first went to the shanty town in the opposite direction. After a few rounds, I followed the path to the church.
Although it is not sure whether there is anyone following behind, it is always prepared. He has been watched. He may encounter a surprise attack anytime and anywhere. Naturally, the more people there are, the more suitable it is for him to escape and strive for time to deal with it.
So when he returned to the church, it was already evening. Outside the church was still crowded with people. The only priests and trainee priests of the Holy Cross organized prayers before nightfall and prepared some porridge for the devout believers for dinner.
In fact, most people are not so poor that they can't even drink a bowl of porridge, but they are grateful to take it over - they are more concerned about how much the strong walls of the church and the divine power of the Holy Cross can give them a sense of security.
It seems to be no different from the previous few days, but... Lauren's right hand is constantly rubbing, and an inexplicable sense of crisis is always lingering in his heart, as if something is constantly stabbing himself.
Is it an illusion, or are you too cautious? Slowly putting on his hood, Loren walked down the street to the side door of the church and left here anyway.
”Sir, please have mercy on me. I haven't eaten for days!”
A little beggar who looked untidy squatted in a corner not far away. Although his voice was very weak, he was very familiar. Loren tilted his mouth, turned very naturally, walked over and squatted in front of the ”beggar”. His dirty hat raised his head and showed a proud smile.
”I said, right? No one can find me.”
”What did you find?” Lauren took out his pocket and searched for the copper plate as if he hadn't heard the boy.
”There are three guys, two strong men and a thin man, who are not local, but dress like a farmer.” the hat lowered his voice and said, ”they have been at the church door since the morning. Don't look up! Those three people have been staring at you since you came!”
”Find a place to hide as soon as possible.” solemnly put a copper plate in the empty bowl in front of the boy. Lauren stood up and whispered, ”I have to prepare now and wait for the guests to come.”
The hat no longer squeaked. He only watched Lauren walk towards the church door from the corner of his eyes, then quietly picked up the bowl and slipped away along the wall when everyone didn't pay attention.
”You are back, Lord Loren Turin!”
Loren just walked to the church gate. The little priest who was still distributing porridge immediately came forward in surprise. He looked a little Expecting: ”have you found any clues
”I did find some important information, but...” Lauren said and looked around ”casually”. It was obvious that three people were deliberately avoiding their sight.
As described by the hat, two guys are quite strong, while the other's skin color is too pale, probably because he hasn't been in the sun for a long time - but this is only the first impression and can't be used as a basis for judgment.
”But what?”
”I may need to go to father Anthony's bedroom again. Last time, I seem to have found some clues that can be used as evidence for some intelligence.” Loren deliberately didn't lower his voice: ”if I'm lucky, I can find the truth tonight.”
”The truth? You mean...” the little priest suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem: ”I see. I'll open the door now!”
........................ Carefully closed the door and locked it back, and Lauren was still clinging to the door and the wall. After confirming that there was no movement outside the door, he entered the room without delay.
”Well, the guests will come at any time, but we have to get ready quickly.” Lauren, with a light tone, casually sat on the priest's blood stained bed and began to pack up his existing equipment.
