This?
Tangleh thought for a moment and said. Let's go to a cathedral and find a priest to take a look!
Didn't you say that the competition that day affected me? I can't remember a lot of things now. Why don't we go and take a look? Maybe the priest will have a way!
Ah. You're right.
Then let's go quickly? After saying that, Ruth stood up and went to pull Tangleh.
Tangleh said hurriedly. You haven't finished your food … It's such a waste. I'm not eating anymore. I'm not eating anymore. Ruth said hurriedly. Thinking of this. I've lost my appetite. Let's go and settle this first. I don't think this is simple. There must be something evil behind it.
Hmph … (Isn't it a little too late to know that there is something evil?) Tangleh thought to himself.
Ruth kept tugging at Tangleh's clothes and wanted to leave. Tangleh had no choice but to finish his food first. Then he grabbed the remaining chicken drumstick from Ruth's cutlery. He finished it in two or three bites. Then he got up to pay the bill. Thank you for coming. That's 23 yuan in total.
The waiter looked at Tangleh with a smile. Tangleh rummaged through his pockets. His face was hot and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Come on. Oh no. The old man only gave 15 yuan today. He still needed 8 yuan. Ruth, did you bring any money today? I'll owe you first. I'll pay you back next time. Ruth said unhappily. We're brother and sister. There's nothing to owe. After saying that, he took out 30 yuan and put it on the table.
Keep the change. It's your tip. Tangleh hurriedly said that there were still 7 yuan left. Don't worry about it. He already said that he was giving it to her as a tip. He said that he would give it to her and then he asked for it back. Aren't you ashamed? With that, he dragged Tangleh out of the restaurant.
Where are we going now? Tangleh asked.
We are going to the Kirby Cathedral, 363 Oak Street. I heard there are many people there. Priests should be more effective. Would it be more effective with more people? That's for sure. Don't talk too much. Let's go.
They arrived at the Kirby Cathedral. Tangleh looked around. There didn't seem to be anyone around. Nonsense, it's not like I'm telling the truth today. There was definitely a shortage of people. Ruth said, "You wait here." I'll see if Reverend Bick is in. Tangleh thought of King Piccolo from Dragonball in the future. Ruth ran out happily and said to Tangleh. Reverend Bick is here. Let's go in. He met Pastor Bick.
Reverend Bick was about thirty. Bareheaded. He wore a black priest's robe. On his chest hung a bright cross.
Piccolo said to Tangleh. Your sister told me everything. I'll take a look for you now. Piccolo stared at Tangleh for a long time. He took out a Crystal Stone. Closed his eyes and said an incantation to the crystal. Looked at Tangleh for a long time. Then shook his head and said to Tangleh.
There was something evil in you. But for some reason, they all disappeared. That's the strange part. You're all right now. I'll give you an amulet of the cross. Come and see me if you need anything. That's it. Then he gave an amulet of the cross to Tangleh.
Ruth asked worriedly. Is there really nothing wrong? Something really happened to some of my friends. Some of them are still in the hospital. Tangleh interrupted. Ruth. Say no more. Reverend Bick is very powerful. I trust him. Could it be that High Priest Piccolo would lie?
Don't you trust Reverend Bick? That's not what I meant. I …
Ruth wanted to say something more. Tangleh took Ruth's hand and said to Reverend Bick. Thank you, Reverend Bick. Reverend Bick smiled and said you're welcome. That's what I should do. Take care. I won't see you out.
Walking on the street, Tangleh asked Ruth. What time is it? It's four in the afternoon. It's still early. I'll go home in a little while. Then he took Ruth shopping on the street for more than an hour. It wasn't until after five o 'clock that he parted with Ruth and took a taxi home.
Just as he arrived at his house. He found his father and the housekeeper standing at the door waiting for him.
Seeing Tangleh. His father asked Tangleh sternly, What happened this afternoon? Teacher Clark called me. Said you got into a fight at school and hurt someone. Tell me clearly what's going on. Don't lie. Tangleh had no choice but to tell his father what happened. He only hid the meeting with Reverend Bick.
His father listened. Pondered for a while. You did the right thing. You didn't do it right either. The right thing is that you protected Ruth from others. The wrong thing is that you got into a fight and hurt someone. If I didn't do it. I would be the one who got hurt. I might not be able to stand and talk to you now. I could only lie in the hospital and report the situation to you. Tangleh hurriedly defended himself.
Hmm. We'll talk about this next time. I'll call your teacher tomorrow. She'll forgive you. Ah … Daddy, I want to ask for a few days off. Ask for leave? Why do you ask for leave? His father asked. The person I fought with today is called James. He was knocked down by me. He was probably hurt badly.
But he has a bunch of little brothers. I'm afraid his little brothers will make trouble for me. Hmm. That's a big problem too. His father whispered. All right! I'll help you ask for a few days off. You should rest at home for a few days too.
Dinner time. Tangleh and his father sat together for dinner. Rolans, you have to study hard. Only when you study well. You can be a man in the future. Got it?
Got it. Tangleh whispered. Master. You've been saying this for ten years. Butler Stan interrupted.
Shut up. You have no right to speak. Don't think you're fine. I haven't settled the matter with you this morning.
Master, this is just a small matter. Small matter? All right, wait until I finish eating. I'll settle this small matter with you again. What are you looking at? Hurry up and finish eating and rest. His father shouted at Tangleh.
Yelled. Tangleh was unhappy. He thought: I want to finish eating quickly. But this thing is too f * cking bad. This steak is not well done. The bread is so hard. There are no vegetables to eat. Just a few strawberries. I'm going to faint! That's how foreigners eat. They'll have to eat for the rest of their lives. How can they live?
After dinner. Tangleh returned to his room. Out of curiosity. Tangleh wanted to know how his father would punish Butler Stan. He quietly walked into his father's room. But unexpectedly. Tangleh heard this conversation.
Do you know your mistake this morning, Stan? I know my mistake, Master. I did something wrong. Master, please forgive me. I won't do it again. Master, whatever you ask me to do. I'll do it.
All right. I'll let it go this time, but not again. Stan, you've worked hard for this family. Here's a hundred dollars. Take it. This … How can I accept this? This is what I should do. Just take it when I tell you to. Don't talk too much. Thank you, Master. God bless my lord! ' All right. Get lost. Don't be so glib.
