After returning the carriage and horses at the outer ring post station, they arrived at the inner ring street of Zhuo County.
As night falls, all the shops in the city are still open, and lanterns are lit in front of the shops, illuminating the streets without the darkness of nightfall.
On such a street, tricycles are carrying passengers and driving slowly and leisurely on the street.
This tricycle is modified from a bicycle. Its basic style is similar to that of a modern tricycle. It has one wheel in the front and two wheels in the back with a trailer.
The wooden trailer is one meter long and one meter wide. It has two rows of seats and can easily seat four people.
The driver of the bicycle has very strong legs. With one kick, the tricycle can move a long distance.
This kind of car is not very fast, but it is very convenient for pulling people and goods.
The guards looked at the increasingly lively streets in surprise and turned to ask Xiao Jia, "Is there no curfew in the city at night?"
Xiao Jia smiled and replied: "Yes, but it's still early. Our Zhuo County curfew time is nine o'clock in the evening, and it's just six o'clock now. People who work have just finished work, and those who have dinner have just finished eating and are going out for a walk.
It’s a lively time.”
After listening to Xiao Jia's words and looking at the smiles on the faces of the people walking around, the guards felt a burst of envy in their hearts for no apparent reason.
Is this the life that gods live?
When the business in the street fast food restaurant is booming, the workers after work are carrying the tableware they brought from home, sitting in the store in twos and threes, or squatting at the door. Even the winter wind cannot dissipate their yearning for life and enthusiasm.
Passionate, chatting, chatting happily.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear some people discussing the current situation in the world. When they talk about their different opinions, idioms and allusions blurt out, making people blush.
But in the end of the quarrel, they can always reach a consensus - the Xu family belongs to none other than Xu Jiajun in this world!
The guards have not seen such a lively city for an unknown amount of time. The people here are free and happy, making people want to join them.
Xiao Jia said: "I heard that you are here for treatment, so you should stay for a while. If you are free, you can go to the school in the east of the city to sign up for literacy classes. They are all free."
"You can also learn some Mandarin. Nowadays, everyone speaks Mandarin in the city, which makes walking easier."
"There is a church in the city. Every Saturday the goddess will go to the church to bless everyone with the Holy Light. Everyone who comes can receive the Holy Light blessing. It is really a wonderful thing. You can also try it."
"Goddess, Holy Light?" The guards looked at Xiao Jia in surprise, "Is this all true?"
Xiao Jia raised his hand and pointed forward. The guards looked up in the direction he pointed and saw a tall building appearing at the end of the street ahead.
This building has a completely different style from the surrounding buildings. It is snow-white, with a pointed roof. It has three floors. On the top floor, there is a circular glass window, which reflects a colorful halo under the light.
In this colorful halo, there is also a sun-like icon, revealing a pale golden mysterious light.
This circular window with the sun stands on a high roof and can be seen from every corner of the city as long as you look up.
With just one glance, the guards were stunned.
The magnificent colorful halo is as beautiful as the smile of a goddess, which is dazzling.
Xiao Jia crossed his chest with one hand and murmured softly to the snow-white building with an almost pious attitude:
"The great god of light~"
A pedestrian passed by and heard Xiao Jia's voice. He crossed his arms and smiled at him, "The great God of Light!"
Even children as young as four or five showed serious expressions when they heard this whisper, and saluted the white building with their arms crossed.
That building is more than just a building. In people's hearts, it is their hope and their belief.
Affected by this mysterious atmosphere, the guards subconsciously became serious and did not dare to make unreasonable comments.
Xiao Jia's companions smiled and parted ways, then turned to the guards and said, "The day after tomorrow is the church service. If you have time, you must go and see it. The goddess is very kind and kind."
Just as he was speaking, Xiao Jia was suddenly startled, "Chief?"
What leader?
The leader of Xu Jiajun?
The guards were all shocked. For some reason, when they heard Xiao Jia calling for the leader, their subconscious reaction was to avoid him.
After all, they were foreigners or from Cao Ying. If they were seen by the leader of the Xu family army, no one knew what the consequences would be.
However, just when the guards were panicking, Xiao Jia raised his hand to signal them to be calm, and then stood straight on the street, waiting for the man with a high ponytail, thick and simple clothes, holding two people with upturned buns.
Fat baby young girl comes over.
"Hello, chief!"
Xiaojia didn't squint his eyes, raised his hand and gave a military salute, his voice seemed to come from his chest, deep, restraining his turbulent mood.
The woman who was talking to the two fat dolls in her hands looked up when she heard the sound. It was obviously a very gentle look, but the guards following Xiao Jia followed him, subconsciously straightening their backs and holding their breath.
.
It was as if he was being reviewed by a general.
"Hello, fellow Taoist." The girl smiled lightly and nodded to Xiao Jia. Her eyes fell on the guards and she smiled at them, "Hello."
The guards' eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
Seeing the girl's gentle smile, the tips of her ears suddenly turned red.
The two fat dolls tilted their heads and looked at them, making mischievous faces at them, giggling, but when the girl scolded them, their eyebrows drooped and they instantly became well-behaved.
Smiling at them again, the girl led the two naughty fat babies and continued walking forward.
She is like a girl from a wealthy family who takes her children out to play after work. She responds to the greetings of passers-by.
If no one noticed her, she didn't take it to heart and everything went as usual.
It was as if she was not the leader of the Xu family army who captured Beidi alive, but just a woman from an ordinary family, walking freely in this city normally.
It wasn't until the girl's figure swarmed into the crowd and disappeared completely that the guards withdrew their gaze at Xiao Jia's reminder.
"This, this is Xu Yue?" the guards asked in disbelief.
Xiao Jia nodded proudly and explained to them, "The twins in the leader's hands are the young masters of the Temple of Light."
As a bodyguard around Sima Fang, he naturally knows more about Xu Jiajun than others.
Two years ago, news suddenly spread among the Xu family's army that a goddess came into her dream to give birth to a son, and the guards also knew about it.
so.......
"Those two fat dolls are the sons of God that the goddess took in her dream?"
The guards opened their mouths wide, unable to imagine what it would be like for two children to appear out of thin air.
Xiao Jia looked at the stunned expressions of the guards and knew that they had been stimulated too much today. He smiled and led them back to Sima Yi's house without saying anything else.
