Bai Shaoliu took away the whole money of 600 yuan, but the dozens of yuan of change did not move, and then said coldly: "Don't do this again in the future, otherwise I will really cut it with this knife!" Xiaobai was angry, and the consequences were very serious. He robbed the robber with the action, and did not think too much about whether the robber would rob more victims after being robbed.

The reason why he was angry was because Zhuang Ru. Zhuang Ru's mood had just recovered from despair, but now it suddenly fell to freezing point. Although the man did not scream, Zhuang Ru saw the extremely horrified expression like a ghost. Xiaobai only felt that Zhuang Ru's body softened and almost fainted, and she fell half in her arms. If a woman finds out that she can scare away the criminals who blocked the road in the middle of the night, she will not feel good anyway.

Bai Shaoliu left half-held Zhuang Ru, leaving the criminal standing there alone. A gust of wind blew, and he suddenly woke up cleverly and found that his whole body was soaked with cold sweat. He said to himself: "It's a devil, it must be a devil! My Dao Lang met two devils with one man and one woman!... I haven't repented for a long time. Today I must repent, beg God to forgive me and not let me suffer from the torture of the devil again."

The robber Daolang stumbled away. He turned two blocks to come to a church. The exterior wall of the church was decorated with red bricks. The three large spires paralleled on the front were very high and majestic. There was a high cross on the spire in the middle. It was still very new and not many years after the building was completed. It was so late, but Daolang knew that there were still priests here "on duty". Perhaps because the parish had just been established and it was an urgent period for the development of believers, the priests here would work until midnight.

Daolang walked past the chapel with rows of benches and came to the confessional room on the right. The arrangement of the confessional room is very interesting. There are two small houses side by side under one wall. There is no light in the room, only a chair can be seated. When you walk in and pull up the curtain, no one can see inside. There is a small house curtain opens in the confessional room, which is where the confessor sits. The door of the small house opposite is open behind the wall, and the priest enters and exits from there. Sitting in the small black room, there is a partition with holes, you can hear the person on the opposite side, but you can't see who the person on the opposite side is.

Daolang shaking the confession bell, then walked to the small dark room and pulled the curtain and waited quietly. The time was not long, and a kind and solemn voice came from the small dark room opposite: "My child, it's so late, what do you have to repent?"

Daolang said tremblingly: "Father, I met the devil today! I will ask God for forgiveness and not let the devil torture my soul anymore."

Father: "Devil? In the shadow of darkness, there is a devil hidden in everyone's heart. All beings are sinners. Please ask the Lord for forgiveness with a pious heart. God will not give up anyone. The Lord's light will shine on your soul and guide everyone's way to heaven...How did you meet the devil?"

Daolang: "I am guilty and forced by life. I went to rob me again today-"

Father: "The Lord said, 'Do not kill people, don't *, don't steal'. The devil is actually hidden in your heart. Only with pious confession can you cleanse your soul and God can forgive your sins... What kind of devil have you met? Can you tell me carefully?" The first half of the pastor's words are normal, but the second half is very unusual. There are so many kinds of sins heard in the confessional room. His duty is only to listen and advise rather than punish and pursue. He wants more people to realize their original sin in front of God, so as to guide them toward pious faith. But today the priest made an exception and began to ask about the "devil"...

When Daolang walked out of the church, he felt much calmer and he was relieved again. Although repentance was not enough to make him give up the robbery, when he turned around and saw the cross, he had a more admiration and a more spiritual power of comfort.

Daolang is not a local. He comes from a very far place, the southwest of Zhixu. On the Tianji Plateau, Daolang belongs to a gang that blocks the road and robs the convoys and merchants on a sparsely populated highway. After each move, he has a habit of going to the local temple to pray for his crimes to the Bodhisattva. But when he turns around, he still wants to rob, and he will still kill people's lives when he encounters resistance because he needs to live a good life with the things he stolen.

Later, the gang Daolang was defeated by a special police officer, and he was caught by the death. In order to avoid the pursuit, Daolang left the Tianji Plateau and came to the bustling city of Wuyou. He did not find the temple here, but found the church. Repentance in the church is much better than praying in the temple, because there are priests who chat with you one-on-one. You can tell your sins to the fullest without worrying that the other party will reveal these. You don’t need anything other than your piety to the Lord. This method is undoubtedly much "humanized", and Daolang is even a little addicted.

Without mentioning what Daolang said to go to the church, Bai Shaoliu had no idea that he and Zhuang Ru had become "devils". He helped Zhuang Ru to take her home. Zhuang Ru's body trembled a little, leaning on half of his body, and the breath emitted from her body was also very smelly. I believe every man would be moved, but when he thought of her half of her terrifying face, this mood would disappear. Bai Shaoliu tried not to think about these things, and sent Zhuang Ru home without saying a word, so she could feel very depressed.

Open the security door and hold Zhuang Ru on the sofa in the living room. Bai Shaoliu asked, "Sister Zhuang, do you have alcohol and cotton at home? Your scalp is rubbed and needs to be dealt with."

Zhuang Ru's eyes seemed to look far ahead and said, "Is it still necessary? I'm already ugly enough. Even the criminals can scare away. What's the point of adding another scar?"

Bai Shaoliu: "You can't say that. Your half face is really not good-looking now, but it's not your fault if you get hurt. Didn't you just say that, find a way to have plastic surgery. If it really doesn't work, sell this big house and replace it with a small house. What level can it be? There will always be a solution. There is no need for you to be so desperate every day, and it is impossible to make things better. Think about it carefully and find something to do. It will definitely be stronger than now."

Zhuang Ru then looked at Xiaobai from a distance, with a little gratitude in her eyes: "Xiaobai, I just saw you snatched the criminal's knife when I was on the street. Why didn't you know that you had such skills before?"

Bai Shaoliu: "I haven't encountered a gangster before, how could you know? Actually, I have practiced for a few days and there should be no problem dealing with a few little thieves."

Zhuang Ru: "With your skills, you won't have to worry about finding a new job. But I am like this..."

Bai Shaoliu: "Sister Zhuang, you are here again. Don't think about these things anymore. The more you think about them, the more you feel uncomfortable... You should pay this month's mortgage first, and then find a way to do other things. Where is the medicinal cotton, I will help you deal with the wound. One scar is better than one more scar."

Zhuang Ru: "My medicine box is in the drawer at the bottom of the bedroom cabinet...Xiaobai, why are you so kind to me? I have nothing to give you."

Bai Shaoliu smiled: "Am I very good to you? I just saw you home on the way. You were very nice to me before and even helped me get a plane ticket at the airport."

Zhuang Ru: "You lend me these three thousand dollars. Do you still have money to use? I heard what you said on the street, and it seems that you want to go to the park to sleep on benches."

Bai Shaoliu: "Don't worry, didn't you see me robbing? The robber 600 yuan was exactly what I had for a month's rent. Didn't you say I had no problem finding a job? There will be other solutions next month."

Zhuang Ru: "Fortunately, I met you. Now I feel much better. Thinking about it, I still have a solution. If this house is sold at the market price, it should be around 1.1 million. If I get rid of the one-time repayment of the bank loan, I can still have more than 600,000 yuan left. It's a long time to go, but it's a pity that I have renovated it."

Bai Shaoliu: "It's not a pity. The price of pork and houses have increased in the past six months, and your house has also appreciated a lot. How big is more than 600,000 yuan for me? I, a person who only has 600 yuan, aren't worried. What's the point of despair? "

Zhuang Ru: "Xiaobai, it's so comfortable to hear your words! It's so strange. You seem to know how to make me feel better?...If you are not afraid of seeing my scary face every day, just move here to live. I have two empty rooms. If you choose one of them casually, you are more forceful than going out to rent a house."

Bai Shaoliu: "Aren't you going to sell it?"

Zhuang Ru: "Before selling, people can still live in it! Besides, there is no need to be too anxious. I suddenly remembered that I still have some money in the money house, which should be available for half a year. Recently, this downtown house has appreciated rapidly, and it would be a pity to sell it in too urgently."

Bai Shaoliu: "You still have such a sum of money in the money shop? Then why didn't you withdraw the money today?"

Zhuang Ru: "It's not money in the passbook, it's money in a public account. I've been confused for a while and I can't remember anything. Now I've calmed down and thought of it. In fact, you have this money too..."

When a person is desperate, he feels that he is in the dark and cannot see any road, and he will hit the tree when walking. But when he calms down and can think about the problem, he will find that he has many ways to imagine. This is the case with Zhuang Ru. Fortunately, she met Bai Shaoliu. Bai Shaoliu was careful to sense the emotions in her heart, while carefully guiding her to calm down. She really remembered something and told Xiaobai.
