Chapter 10 A Peaceful Day (1)
4:50 am.
It was just dawn, and the morning light shone into the temple through colorful glass, indicating that a new day had begun.
This is the bishop's residence and the best bedroom in the Dark Moon Temple.
The bedroom not only has a beautiful wooden wardrobe, bright glass dressing mirrors, flat and stable desks and seats, but also expensive Jingneng lamps. Although the Jingneng table lamps are only lit on festival days, they have become the most enviable thing for the six young apprentices in the temple.
The Bishop is so happy. This is the unanimous idea of the six little guys. You can sleep in the bedroom with glass windows and look at the stars at night. The walls of the bedroom are clean and clean without a crack. Even the ground is flat and there are no annoying depressions on the stone slabs. If you can live in such a room, you must be as happy as bathing in the glory of the goddess.
Lisa actually thinks so, but the focus of her attention is obviously different from that of primary school apprentices.
The wardrobe, bed, table and chairs were made by my brother himself, and even the wood was cut back from the wilderness outside the city. Every piece of wood was stained with my brother's sweat, and the smell of love was on it.
The walls and ground were also repaired by my brother. After three days of busyness, every uneven place on the stone floor was carefully filled, and every crack on the wall was also repaired and painted, making the whole house look like new.
As for the favorite dressing mirror and crystal lamp, it was blackmailed by my brother... No, it was exchanged back with a friendly exchange. The seller even burst into tears in order to feel the goddess' kindness.
Living in this room, you can feel your brother's care at all times. For the great Lord Lisa, this is simply the second happiest thing in the world. Even compared with the first happiest thing - being with Lord Dark Moon -, it is only a little bit short, very small.
The happy Lord Lisa can immerse herself in happiness every day, but it is not possible now. Now she has more important things to do.
The bishop's bedroom is an ensuite with two inner and outer rooms, and Shuer slept in the outer room.
Since Lisa left the projection of another world and returned to the temple four years ago, she would wake up from a nightmare every night and hurried in the corner of the wall so scared that she dared not fall asleep. However, the stubborn little guy never said that, pretending to be strong every day, as if nothing had happened, but her spirits were getting worse and worse.
In order to help her get out of the nightmare, Shul could only move to the outside of the bedroom to protect her so that she could feel safe. The results were remarkable, and Lisa really got a sense of security, because every night the little guy would sneak out to climb on Shul's bed and crawl into his arms to fall asleep. For the young Lisa, apart from the embrace of the goddess, this is the safest place in the world.
Now Lisa has no longer had nightmares and no longer huddled in Shure's arms to fall asleep every night. However, it is too troublesome to move things like this in the bedroom. Let's continue to do whatever she wants. Well, at least, both of them say that.
Shh, stop quarrel, Lord Lisa needs to focus!
Like a little hamster, he poked his head out of the vacant door and peered into the dark outer room through the hazy light. The outer room was as old and desolate as other rooms in the temple. As expected, my brother didn't care about his life at all.
He climbed out quietly with his hands and feet, haha, there was no sound at all. This was Lord Lisa's own stealth skill, which was so high that he was not sure where he went.
Sneaking, sneaking, the little animal Lisa approached Shul's bed bit by bit. Ha, this stupid brother is still sleeping with his head covering. Humph, let's see how you escape the clutches of Lisa's great devil king this time.
"Huh", he suddenly lifted the quilt, and the big devil jumped up and smashed it onto the bed: "Attack from the sky, brother fool, it's five o'clock, it's time to get up!"
However, there is only a quilt on the bed, and there is nothing under the quilt, so Shuer is not here at all.
"Not good!" Lisa exclaimed and wanted to hide, but it was too late.
"Hmph, it's too late." The brother's ridicule came from above his head, and the quilt that was cloaked towards him was followed.
"Hahahaha, brother stupid, let me go, haha, I kick me, hahaha, don't scratch, I'll kick again." The girl twisted her body and laughed wildly after being scratched with her head. The girl didn't forget to kick Shuer's leg from time to time. The cheerful laughter echoed in the quiet temple. The great Lord Lisa's peaceful and peaceful day began with laughter.
Five-Fifteen, cleaning time.
In the bathroom, the two of them stood in front of the bronze mirror, one tall and one left and one right, washing. Wearing the same style of pajamas, their hair and clothes became in a mess during the fight just now. Lisa was still wearing thick clothes because of excessive physical exhaustion, but neither of them could hide the joy on their faces.
Brushing and brushing, the toothbrush shaking up and down, the same frequency, same posture, and even the same position of brushing are the same. With such a coordinated movement, it is obvious that the two of them have brushed their teeth like this many times.
"Gululu", the girl who was rinsing her mouth turned her eyes and suddenly turned her head, but she found that the stupid brother had already slipped out of the door, leaving her with only a ridiculous back.
"Hmph, wait and see!" The girl waved her toothbrush threateningly, and the girl smiled sweetly.
At half past five, morning reading time.
Morning is the best time of memory in the day. This unfounded and implicit fallacy of getting up early was spread from when it was spread. But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, morning reading is also a tradition in most churches.
Reciting scriptures, recording mantras, and memorizing prayers. Before morning, priests holding priests who hold sects to the temples can be seen everywhere in the temples of various cities. If you go to the temples, it will be even more exaggerated. Almost the whole city is in the city's memorization, which is simply amazing.
"Praise the dark moon, give out the light, and cleanse the invisible evil in the world."
In the inner courtyard of the temple, there are broken stone pillars and half-collapsed stone temples everywhere. If you want to repair astronomical gold coins, you need a huge sum of money to clean up the place. You might as well just leave it like this, and it will last for hundreds of years.
The broken stone pillars were covered with moss and vines, and the collapsed stone hall had long become the home of the little animals. The brother and sister, one big and one small, sat on the stones and read in the morning. A few little animals were chasing and playing around Lisa's feet. They had been together for many years and had been unable to get along well. They were not afraid of this little girl.
However, they dare not go to Shuer. Even if they have cultivated their minds and nature for a few years, the bloody smell accumulated on their bodies over the past decades is not so easy to fade. The small animals are the most sensitive, so of course they dare not come over easily.
"Praise the Dark Moon and use its sacred body to block threats from the heavens for the mortal world."
Lisa's little face was extremely pious as she recited the praises of the Dark Moon seriously.
Shuer didn't need to be memorized. For a person who could move most of the Grand Library of the Temple of the Gods into his brain in two years, letting him sit there and memorize seriously is an insult to his memory. However, sharing the joys and sorrows with his sister is the duty of being an elder brother, so even if you remember the position of every word in the sacred text clearly, you should recite it loudly with Lisa.
It's 6:30, breakfast time.
The restaurant is spacious and was built to be a very large space for a large number of priests to dine together. However, the huge restaurant is now empty, with only a long table and ten chairs.
One of the corners of the long table was broken, but the broken mouth was carefully smoothed and wrapped up to avoid the wood being hurt. The backs of several chairs were also cracked, but they were re-fixed by nails, so they were still firmly leaned up. As for other furnishings? Haha.
Shuer and Lisa were sitting at both ends of the long table, three men and three women, six children aged six to eight, sitting on both sides, wearing small coarse cloth robes, waiting for food with anticipation. Of course, although the apprentices looked very hungry, as if they had been hungry for several days, they could tell from their faces that they could at least eat and wear warmly and never have any malnutrition. This was already very difficult for the temple in distress.
Soon, Talinna and another nun in her forties brought a small basket of bread over each, which was soft and delicious white bread, and there was a strong aroma of butter. Could it be that today's bread could be applied with butter? The expectations in the hearts of the apprentices became even stronger.
"Thank you to the Dark Moon for giving us a stable life so that we can enjoy the sun, water and food."
Shuer and Lisa took the lead. Several children learned how they were, drew circles on their chests together, and prayed in a low voice with their eyes closed. However, the naughty children were chanting prayers in their mouths, their eyes had already opened secretly, staring at the fragrant butter and the browned bread on the outside with greed.
"Bang", a greasy paper bag was thrown onto the table by Shuer. Even if it was wrapped tightly, the tempting fragrance emitted from it could be smelled. The children's eyes were brighter. There was no doubt that this was bacon, meat that could only be eaten for dinner every day.
In the big cities of the Kingdom of Kora, meat is not particularly expensive and most families can afford it. Even families below the poverty line can eat it once every few days if they want.
However, there are ten mouths waiting for dinner in the Dark Moon Temple, especially seven of whom are very generous minors. The daily food costs a lot, and it is not easy to eat a meal of meat every day.
Fortunately, Shuer is not an ordinary priest. He ran dozens of kilometers to hunt the wilderness outside the city every few days. This was not a difficult task for him. Ecological skins and bones are all useful materials. As for meat, they naturally turned into food.
"Lisa is growing up, how can she eat bread every day?" said Shuer. "As for the other six, who cares about them?"
That's it, but the children's meat supply has never been cut off every night, and there are occasionally extra meals, such as this morning.
"This is to supplement Lisa's nutrition. I've been leaving for a few days, and she must have not eaten well. She has lost weight. She must eat more." Shuer said with a stern face, "You guys are not allowed to rob."
"Brother, don't do this, I can't eat so much." Looking at the aggrieved look of several elementary apprentices, Bishop Lisa was gentle like a saint, "Come on, everyone eat together, everyone has a portion."
"Yeah, the Bishop sister is the best." In the cheers, the children grimaced at Shul, surrounded Lisa, and waited for the Bishop sister to share the delicious bacon.
The two nuns looked at each other and smiled.
Glory returns to the dark moon, gifts belong to the bishop, loyalty to the church and to the bishops, sometimes it takes little things to start.
