Chapter 167 Repentance
The priest went on to say, "I command you to confess any obstacles before the Lord! The reason for the union. Mandy Juliet, do you want this man to become your husband to marry him? Love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and be loyal to him until the end of his life?"
"I do." Mandy answered at Yu Ming.
The priest asked Yu Ming the same thing, and Yu Ming looked at Mandy, when did you give me the real name? Yu Ming nodded: "I do."
The priest turned nonsense again and asked in the stands: "Are you willing to testify for their marriage vows?"
"I do." A voice sounded, and Yu Ming and Mandy turned to see that they were drunk in their thirties. Go and drink your wine and join in the fun.
Then there was the exchange of rings, Yu Ming and Mandy exchanged the investigator rings with each other. After talking nonsense, the priest said: "I declare that you are husband and wife, and the groom can kiss the bride."
The two kissed without any barriers, and the priest was about to leave. Yu Ming was quick to see and hugged the priest's thighs and said, "Father, I am guilty."
The priest said kindly: "We are all sinners."
Yu Ming cried and said, "I want to go to that..." What's the name? Yu Ming looked at the two small rooms next to him.
"..." The priest asked Yu Ming with his eyes.
"I want to go to...the little dark room to talk to you."
Mandy immediately had the urge to vomit blood and whispered: "Confession Room."
"Please trouble you, Father, I am really guilty."
The priest looked at Mandy, then looked at Yu Ming and said, "Child, you... OK." He originally wanted to say that you should not confess your confession in front of your newlywed wife.
There was a chair in the confession room. Yu Ming entered the room and the priest said, "Child, I've gone wrong."
"Sorry." Yu Ming changed the room.
The sound came from the earbuds: "Cracking the security system."
Yu Ming said: "Father, I am guilty. When I was five years old, I started to deceive my classmates. I borrowed a lollipop from Class A to add a bite to B, and exchanged it for two biscuits.
I divided the cookies into pieces to classmate A. I was guilty and I took away the lollipop and a cookie.”
"Father, I am a liar, but I don't want to be a liar, but my adoptive father is a liar. After my adoptive mother disappeared, I began my career as a liar......" Yu Ming pulled the coke ring in his pocket in his dress and inserted it into a straw while drinking: "At the age of eight, I told the teacher that my adoptive father was about to die and hoped that he could change his transcript so that my adoptive father could die with peace of mind. After a winter vacation, the matter was exposed and I learned to lie. I must keep it.
Yu Di. When I was nine years old, I scored 17 points in Chinese, I changed 1 to 7 and then 9. My adoptive father saw through it at a glance. He said, boy, don’t think I didn’t know that you only scored 77 points. When I was ten, I found that I scored 20 points, which made me very sad because I couldn’t change 2 to any passing number. I cried for a long time, and my tears fell on the transcript Yu Ming. I thought of a good idea. When I walked across a single-plank bridge, I bravely fell into the water."
The priest interrupted: "I'm very curious. Your adoptive father didn't see your grades, wouldn't he ask the teacher?"
"Father, I am guilty. I use my own transcripts when I fell into the water, but my deskmate's transcript. I was lucky that I couldn't see the name on the transcript, and the scores were still very clear." Yu Ming sipped the chocolate and said, "At the age of eleven, with my efforts, I finally only scored seven points. I happily filled in nine in front of the seven. At the age of twelve, I found that the modified scores would be exposed in the end, so I started working hard."
"Child, this is correct." Father Rakha was quite pleased.
"I began to try my best to cheat in the exam." Yu Ming continued: "I found that Xiaopang has a shortcoming. He wrote his name after finishing the questions every time, so I exchanged my test paper with him. But what made me unbelievable was that Xiaopang got full marks after re-exercising the questions, and I only scored ninety-nine points. Afterwards, Xiaopang was very grateful to me. He played an inappropriate role in my future test results. I understood a truth: good people will be rewarded."
"I was very painful after going to junior high school, especially English. Father, I was guilty and I began to instigate my classmates to steal the test papers. After I got the test papers, I sold the test papers to many classmates. The classmates were very happy. The teacher was also very happy to see that we had good grades in the exam. I was very happy to bring happiness to so many people. In the second year of junior high school, a freshman who transferred us reported us. We kept pushing the blame to the classmates who secretly tested papers. In order not to be beaten collectively, he bravely endured the pain alone. We were very grateful to him and bought him a pack of cigarettes as a reward."
"The hand-written Bible was not found in the safe."
Mandy asked: "What about other places?"
The earbuds answered: "No."
"Is it because I was wrong?" Mandy frowned.
The confessional door opened, and the priest stumbled out, grabbed Mandy's hand, looked at Mandy with tears in his eyes and said, "Child, I was wrong. You shouldn't marry him. I hope you can divorce soon."
"Ah......" Mandy watched the priest leave, turned to see that Yu Ming came out of the confessional room, feeling refreshed.
Yu Ming said: "Mandy, don't say it, this thing is really useful. If you tell the matter, you will feel much more comfortable."
"But the priest seemed a little uncomfortable." Mandici asked: "What are you saying?"!
"Yeah... Something happened in the school. When I was talking about junior year, the priest interrupted me rudely and told me: Don't waste the time of the Lord and His." Yu Ming said: "It seems like I'm beyond salvation."
Mandy laughed: "It seems like you can still be saved."
"Why, I haven't found anything?" Yu Ming asked.
Mandy frowned: "Maybe I was wrong..."
"It's not your fault." Yu Ming said: "I know where the thing is."
"You?" Mandy shook her head: "You're the first time you're in the United States, the first time you're in this town, the first time you're in church? How could you know where the thing is?"
Yu Mingdao: ‘‘It’s in the hands of the priest.”
Mandy was stunned and said, "No, his Bible is a brand new one."
"Bao Zhang Xinpi." Yu Ming said: "The priest is a very devout Catholic. He hopes that he can serve the residents of the town with more divine power. I don't think he steals the Bible for collection, but for use. When you pray, I checked some information on your phone. I found that before the Bible was stolen, there were many cases of Mexican smugglers attacking the residents of the town. I think he thought it was the Lord who ignored it, so he went to get the ancient Bible. Look at the priest, there is no guilt for stealing the ancient Bible, which reminds me of you who lie to the priest in order to recover the Bible. Both the priest and you think you are doing the right thing. Since that is the case, there is no reason not to hand-written the Bible for weddings, mass, etc."
Mandy asked, “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
"I saw the old and new pages of the Bible when we got married. I realized it when I saw the old and new pages of the Bible when I went to a small dark room to think about my mistakes." Yu Ming said: "But I am not sure, and I cannot destroy your plan.
Until the help you hired said that you didn’t find the Bible, I’m sure this possibility. Mandy.”
"kindness?"
"The priests never leave the Bible. Now you have to find a way to steal the Bible from the priests." Yu Ming was a little gloating.
Mandy hesitated. She was a person who rarely hesitated. After thinking for a while, she picked up the phone and connected: "I am an independent investigator. I already know the whereabouts of the Bible, but the Bible was treated as a treasure of God by a dedicated priest to serve the residents. I personally do not recommend that you collect the Bible and collect it. It is better to give it to him to use it."
Mandy hung up the phone and said, "They asked me to provide the identity of the priest, and they would explain it to the priest and get the Bible back."
Yu Ming said: "This is not possible. Good things have not been done, and the commission is not considered complete."
"I also refused, and I think it would be better for him to play his role instead of celebrating the Bible in the Holy See."
Yu Ming said: "I have an idea."
"kindness?"
Yu Ming said: "You can create a fake Bible and then drop the packet with the real Bible. In this way, the priest thought that he still had a divine power. The Holy See got the real Bible, you were rewarded, and by the way you improved your reputation in the organization. No one lost it and everyone was happy."
"…···" Mandy had a toothache. It is undeniable that Yu Ming proposed a good solution to the problem, but these things involved her beliefs. She couldn't tell whether it was against her faith. Mandy asked: "Is there any other way?"
"Yes, get some psychedelics, and tell the priest that the Lord thought he was guilty of stealing, so he took the Bible and exchanged it for the Master."
Mandy saw Yu Ming drinking coke from across the river and watching the fire, and said mischievously: "Yu Ming, after we get married, I want to keep my last name."
"Yeah..." Yu Ming was stunned for a few seconds and smiled: "Whatever."
"Aren't you worried that you are really getting married?"
"Last night I quietly looked for relevant laws. We are just getting married in the religious sense, not getting married in the legal sense. The marriage certificate given to us by the priest is a souvenir. To get married in law, you need to use the certificate given to us by the priest to fill out the form and sign a witness. If there is no wedding, the government will have a small church for us to use, and you also need to fill out your passport and other information. Importantly, foreigners need to provide their own domestic unmarried certificates, etc. The procedures are not ordinary. Unless it is Las Vegas."
Mandy smiled: "But I'm Australian."
Yu Ming also smiled: "I also checked Australia and at least I need to have a certificate of unmarriedness."
"Partner, you're too much. Wouldn't you marry me?" Mandy asked dissatisfied.
"Partner, do you want us to divorce in a few days?" Yu Ming said: "I have to go back to Washington, you have decided not."
"A hand-written Bible is just an antique with value in his eyes, and in his hands it is the grace of the Lord." Mandy stood up and said, "I will send you back to Washington first."
"I'm very happy that you can think so." Yu Ming sighed: "But he doesn't think so." Yu Ming looked at the drunkard sleeping soundly on the back of the chair in front and asked, "Right?"
