The dilapidated red bricks and white tiles, and the two-story European-style church, now look like an old man in his dying years. The exterior wall paint has peeled off, and even one of the corners at the top of the church is missing.The carved iron gate has long been rusted. Looking through the iron gate, you can see that there are overgrown grass inside, which is half the height of a person.

Su Linjian stood outside the iron gate, shook the iron gate vigorously, and made an ear-piercing sound.The iron door looks rusty, but it is actually quite strong and cannot be opened.

Get closer and look through the gap in the iron door, wanting to see what's going on inside.

"Is there no one here?" Su Linjian asked Gu Chaoge.

Gu Chaoge pointed to the water lilies planted in the water tank in the yard: "There should be people."

Sure enough, the door of the church opened, and a middle-aged man in a black robe walked out.Seeing someone at the door, the man walked over slowly and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Su Linjian quickly replied: "Hi, are you the priest here?"

The middle-aged man answered "yes", and in a blink of an eye he had already walked in front of Su Linjian, seeing Su Linjian's face clearly, his eyes widened in surprise: "You—"

"Hello, priest. I heard that I was born in this church, so I really want to come back and have a look at the place where I was born. Can you let me in?" Su Linjian smiled.

The priest looked a little excited, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and opened the iron door with a key.

Su Linjian bowed slightly to the priest, and then carefully looked at the man in front of him.The priest has a square face with Chinese characters, with slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, half of his hair has turned white, and his face is pale, which should be caused by not being exposed to the sun for many years.The black robe he was wearing looked very old, with a few inconspicuous patches.The vicissitudes and exhaustion that don't seem to match his age.

"Are you... Su Huaisheng's child?" the priest asked.

"...Yes, do you remember me?" Su Linjian asked doubtfully, the memory of this priest must be too good.

"Of course, if Huaisheng..." the priest paused suddenly: "I mean, if Huaisheng knows that his child will return to the old place after many years, he will be very happy."

"You have a good relationship with my father...?" The priest called his father "Huaisheng", and the two should have a good friendship.

"Uh...not actually, your father stayed with your mother who was pregnant with you, and lived in the church for a while, and we didn't have much contact with each other." There was no flaw in the priest's words, Su Rinjian But I felt that the priest's eyes were dodging.

"Well, then can I visit here?"

"The church has not been visited by outsiders for a long time. It is dilapidated. I am ashamed to visit it. You can take a look at it." The priest said modestly.

"Thank you." Su Lin thanked him with a sword, then looked around, walked slowly past the garden, and circled around the church first.Gu Chaoge walked behind Su Linjian, and when the priest disappeared, Su Linjian expressed his doubts: "Chaoge, don't you think that priest just now is weird?"

"kindness."

"You think so too?!" Su Linjian, who was recognized, was a little excited, and his voice rose.

"When he first saw you, his eyes obviously fluctuated violently. Even for a friend's child, his eyes should reveal the kindness and peace of an elder, but the priest's eyes are too fierce." Gu Chaoge calmly analyzed.

Su Linjian was horrified by Gu Chaoge's words: "According to my grandma, I was taken home by my father just after I was born, and I have never been to church since then. My father probably never came again, even if my father lived in What a deep friendship they have established here, after more than 20 years, it should fade away."

"Maybe it's some unforgettable feelings." Gu Chaoge asked back.

"A feeling that can't be forgotten?" Su Linjian frowned, it couldn't be faded, it couldn't be forgotten, it was like a mark engraved in the bottom of my heart, could it be...

"Could it be that when my mother was pregnant with me, she insisted on living in the church not because she was worried about me, but..." but because she had an affair with the priest in the church?

Su Linjian thought of this reason, although the sky is thundering, it is not impossible.

Gu Chaoge also lowered his face and did not answer easily.

At this time, there was a small sound of walking behind them, and the two turned their heads suddenly, only to see the priest standing not far away, smiling at Su Linjian.

"Son, let me show you something." The priest waved his hand at Su Linjian.

Su Linjian swallowed hard, and looked at Gu Chaoge.Gu Chaoge took a step forward, stood beside Su Linjian, and whispered to Su Linjian, "Go and have a look."

Su Rinjian nodded and followed the priest's footsteps.

The priest led the two of them into the church. There were neat rows of chairs in the prayer room, which were spotless. It could be seen that the priest was cleaning these chairs every day.There was a large cross nailed in front of him. Looking at the cross, Su Linjian trembled inexplicably, and took a step back.

Gu Chaoge grabbed Su Linjian's hand calmly, and then Su Linjian calmed down a little.

The priest took out a photo album from the back room, and smiled kindly at Su Linjian: "I have never shown this photo album to anyone, as if I knew that one day, you would come here and wait to show it to you. "

Su Linjian walked over and sat down beside the priest.

The priest looked Su Linjian up and down, and after a long time, he opened the photo album with satisfaction: "These are the photos your mother took when she was pregnant with you, maybe she didn't have time to see it herself." The past, the priest looked suddenly.

Su Linjian looked down at the photos in the album. In the photos, there was a woman in a white loose long dress with loose braids draped behind her head. She was quiet and soft, gently touching her belly, as if she was giving her child tell a story.

This is his mother, the mother he has never had a concept of.

When he saw the picture of his mother, he still couldn't restrain his excitement. This is an inseparable connection, which can transcend time and space, and can be recognized with just one glance.

Taking the photo albums from the priest, Su Linjian flipped through them one by one, fascinated.

Standing behind him, Gu Chaoge clearly saw the priest's deep gaze staring straight at Su Rinjian, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Most of the photos in the album are photos of Su Linjian's mother. He is like a greedy little beast, only licking sweet candies, and loses his guard.

When Su Linjian turned to the end, Gu Chaoge took the album away from Su Linjian's hand, flipped through a few photos at random, pointed to a certain photo and said, "This is your father?"

Su Linjian poked his head over, and the mother in the photo was sitting by the garden with her big belly. The garden at that time was not as overgrown with weeds as it is now, but was planted with delicate, bright and moving flowers.A slender hand of the mother reached out to the blooming rose branch, as if to pick off one, but the rose stabbed her finger, which was stained with blood.But the strange thing is that there is no pain on his mother's face, but a happy smile on the contrary.

The place Gu Chaoge pointed at was looking through the direction of the rose. There was a figure in the shadow of the church, and that figure was in a posture of taking a step back. After careful identification by Su Linjian, he realized that the vague figure should be his father.

His father should have accidentally entered the mirror, but it's really hard for Gu Chaoge to find it in such a hidden place.

"It's true." Su Linjian took the album and looked at it twice in disbelief.

He just browsed in a hurry and didn't find it.

"Father, can you sell me this photo album?" Su Linjian asked the priest holding the photo album.

The priest looked slightly embarrassed, obviously a little embarrassed.

"I have never met my mother, nor did my father show me her photos. I want to keep these photos as a way to commemorate her." Su Linjian continued to lobby.

"You said, your father never showed you a picture of your mother?" The priest kept on this topic.

"……Yes."

There was a wave of fluctuation in the priest's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay, but... there is a photo, can you leave it to me?"

"Which one?"

The priest found a photo of his mother stabbed by a rose: "Leave this photo to me. Your father and mother are my old friends. I can always miss them in front of this photo."

Su Linjian thought about it in embarrassment, since the priest had reluctantly parted with him, it would be unreasonable if he refused to give him even a photo.

Nodding: "Yes." Take the photo out of the album and give it to the priest.

The priest held the photo carefully as if he had found a treasure, and put him back in his room.

After staying for a while, Su Linjian left his phone number to the priest at the request of the priest, and said goodbye to Gu Chaoge.

Walking out of the iron gate, Su Linjian could still feel a scorching gaze closely following him behind him, making him very uncomfortable.

"Chaoge, do you think...that priest really likes my mother? Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so many photos of my mother. Also, when I asked him for a photo album just now, he was very embarrassed look." Su Linjian turned into Sherlock Holmes, chattering and analyzing.

Gu Chaoge walked straight forward without saying much: "Go home first."

He had a vague feeling that this matter would not end here.

Fortunately, that night, Su Linjian followed Gu Chaoge back to city b. If he stayed in city t again, he had a hunch that something would happen.
