Xu San took a crudely made cross and made a cross on his chest, "Can I help you? Lost lamb?"
Lin Dong heard that although Xu San's Chinese had a strange accent and strange clothes, he could finally understand it, "You know Chinese!"
"Of course! My Chinese is over Level 8. In Chinese terms, that's what you call a thief." Xu San joked, and then said, "I heard you calling for help just now. You encountered a devil." Yet?"
"Devil?" Lin Dong whispered, "You said it's a devil?"
"No, no, no, black devil!" Xu San gave guidance, because there was Tom, a British man, beside him.
Black devil?
Could this bald foreigner be talking about those ninjas?
Did they also meet those ninjas?
"It's the black devil!" Lin Dong said in a positive tone. He was not stupid. Although he didn't know why Xu San said that, it must be true to follow his words.
"Then did they shout 666? If you could still escape if they shouted, then you must have been protected by the Lord." Xu San said with a strong voice while swinging the cross.
Lin Dong paused in his heart, and immediately followed Xu San's words and continued, "Yes, yes, you are right, they are a group of black devils, shouting 666 while killing my companions."
"Oh, my God, I saw that devil during the day, but it's a pity that I couldn't convert him!"
At this time Tom also came over and asked, "Brother Thomas, what happened?"
"This gentleman encountered a black devil, a devil who shouted 666! He was blessed by the Lord and escaped."
"Oh, my God!" Hearing the devil, Tom immediately took out his little revolver and aimed at the darkness, "Where is the devil?"
Xu San reached out and pressed down Tom's arm, "Your gun is useless. Weapons that have not been baptized with holy water cannot cause harm to the devil."
Xu San's expression was serious and pious. Tom's heart trembled when he said this, and he thought to himself, there can't really be a devil.
As a believer, he does believe in the existence of the devil, and when it comes to baptizing weapons with holy water, this is also a routine operation of the church.
Seeing that Xu San didn't panic, Tom's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, "Then do you have weapons?"
"Of course!" Xu San said, lifting up the hem of the monk's uniform, reaching in and touching it twice before pulling out a Thomson. "Look, this is a weapon that has been baptized with holy water."
"Is this a submachine gun?" Tom had obviously seen it before, but was not sure, so he asked with doubts.
"His name is Tommy Gun, which is very similar to your name!" Xu San said the name of the gun, feeling that this would make Tom less wary of him pulling out the gun.
Men usually have a strong obsession with weapons, and so does Tom. His eyes immediately went straight after seeing Thomson. After looking at it for a long time, he said, "It's so beautiful!"
"That's right! Not only is he beautiful, but he is also a powerful weapon to kill devils!"
"How much does it cost! I want to buy one when I return to China."
"$300! But that's the regular version that hasn't been baptized with holy water!"
"What about those who have been baptized with holy water?" Tom continued to ask.
Hearing this, Xu San's eyes suddenly stood up and stared at Tom with an unkind look.
Facing Xu San's unkind gaze, Tom quickly lowered his head and made a cross on his chest, "Sorry, I shouldn't ask this question."
The entire conversation between Xu San and Tom was in English, and Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, confused.
When he saw that the conversation between the two seemed to have come to an end, he asked softly, "Sir, can you help me?"
"Would you like to help you kill the devil?" Xu San opened the safety on the gun and said pretendingly.
"No, no! I just want your protection and the Lord's protection." Lin Dong lowered his head and said.
"This poor Chinese is being hunted by the devil and wants to be protected by us, can he?" Xu San asked Tom with a kind smile. As he spoke, Xu San gently tapped the gun body with his fingers and used Morse code tells Lin Dong, "Believer."
Hearing this familiar rhythm, Lin Dong finally knew who had just delivered the message to him in the alley.
An indescribable joy came to my heart, like a drowning person encountering a big wooden basin.
However, he immediately calmed down and did not show it on his face.
The two times he contacted him were in Morse code, which let him know that the comrade in front of him was not convenient to contact him directly. Coupled with his weird makeup, it showed that he was now using a disguised identity.
What should I do now?
He talked to me about being a believer. Did he want me to pretend to be a believer?
But how to pretend?
In doubt, Tom said, "Well, I need to ask my companions for advice."
"No problem, I think your companion is also a kind person." Xu San said.
At this time, the door had opened and two men walked out. They were talking to the driver.
With the help of Qi Jue, Xu San could barely hear that the driver was recounting what happened tonight and the Japanese attack on the city.
Tom bowed slightly to Xu San and then walked towards the three of them. It seemed that he was going to take Lin Dong in.
Lin Dong looked at Tom leaving, and then whispered, "Thank you!"
"Oh, you're welcome. Since you are a believer in the Lord, we should help each other!" Xu San still said in his weird Chinese accent.
"I am a believer in the Lord, and my companions are also believers in the Lord. Can the Lord also take them in?" Lin Dong said following Xu San's rhythm.
"Of course!" Xu San readily agreed, thinking, anyway, it's just a matter of driving one sheep, and it's also herding two sheep.
Not long after, Tom came to Xu San with a strong, blond man about 1.9 meters tall.
When the strong man saw Xu San, he crossed himself on his chest and said, "Hello, Mr. Monk."
"Hello!" Xu San returned the greeting.
"Our Lord is kind and will help those who are in trouble! But" the strong man paused here.
"If you have any difficulties, please tell me." Xu San still said with a kind smile.
"Now Xiangshan Town is surrounded by Japanese troops, and we cannot protect ourselves. If the Chinese want to take refuge in my residence, then they need to pay the price."
"What price?"
"When we encounter danger, they need to fight, and they need to fight at the front!" The strong man stated his conditions.
Xu San was secretly happy, he was looking for cannon fodder for his love!
After translating the words, Lin Dong agreed without hesitation, but he also stated his conditions, "We need to provide weapons!"
Probably with the clergyman Xu San as a guarantee, the negotiation went smoothly. Dong Asan provided a revolver, and Lin Dong was responsible for being the cannon fodder. (End of chapter)
