Today is Sunday, which is also a day of folk prayer. On this day, people can go to church to confess their sins and seek spiritual relief.
Bertie's father, Bill, is a very traditional believer. He believes that everyone is sinful, so he takes his son to church to pray every Sunday afternoon.
"Today is a day of prayer, and my father is not at home, otherwise I really don't know where to take you." Bod supported Carmen, opened the door with the key, and helped his sweetheart go in.
"Bertie, thank you. In fact, my situation is not as bad as you think." With Bertie's support, Carmen sat on the high stool in front of the bar and wanted to reach out and touch Bertie's hair.
"do not move."
Bertie rolled her eyes at him, and while gently helping Carmen unbutton her clothes, she said sadly: "Carmen, you can't do this. How about I go talk to my father and let you work in the bar."
"Work?" Carmen smiled self-deprecatingly, looked down at the gunshot wound on her shoulder, and whispered: "When I work at your house, the salary is 30 cents or 50 cents. Bertie, that little money can only make you
I won’t starve to death, and there’s nothing else I can do.”
There was another thing Carmen didn't say, which was that a bartender was not worthy of a girl like Bertie.
Bod is so beautiful, her future should be riding in a carriage, wearing mink furs, and traveling in high society.
If he really agrees to work as a waiter in the bar, there may not be any change in a short time. As time goes by, his relationship with Bertie will definitely become estranged.
First of all, Old Bill would not allow his waiter to hook up with his daughter.
What's more, Bertie will always grow up, and the gap in identity between the two parties will one day become the straw that breaks the two of them.
"Hiss, be gentle"
The blood flowing out of the wound had stuck to the clothes. When she took off her clothes, Carmen gasped in pain.
Hearing Carmen's cry of pain, Bertie became gentler and worked for a while before taking off Carmen's coat.
"Is there a mirror?" Taking off her shirt, Carmen felt much more comfortable, and the swollen wound was no longer oppressed by clothes.
Bod hurriedly looked for a mirror. Fortunately, little girls aged thirteen or fourteen always love beauty, and mirrors are a must-have.
"It's a penetrating wound. The wound is on the shoulder. The bullet has penetrated. Fortunately, it is not stuck in the bone."
Carmen held the mirror and looked at the wound on her shoulder. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, this injury will heal in a month or two."
Bertie said nothing, looking at the wound on Carmen's shoulder, his eyes filled with mist.
Realizing that her little girlfriend might cry at any time, Carmen showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and teased: "I want to see you down there."
"shameless"
Seeing that Carmen was so injured and still couldn't help teasing her, Bod's cheeks were slightly red, and the mist in his eyes turned into shame.
Carmen smiled like a weasel, biting her own clothes with her teeth to make a bandage, and encouraged: "My little angel, let me have a look, I'm in so much pain now, yours can relieve my pain."
"Hate."
Bod's face turned red with embarrassment, as red as a little apple, but the movements of his hands were not slow.
Showing your naked body to your little boyfriend is a little secret between the two of you. It not only makes Carmen excited, but also makes her happy.
With his hands on his chest, Bod moved very slowly, unbuttoning his clothes one button at a time, with a naughty smile on his lips.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Bod opened his clothes and tilted his head, licking his lips at Carmen.
Carmen swallowed, forgetting the pain in the wound for a while, and said hoarsely: "Let me look down there again."
Bod didn't say anything, just kept his shirt open and reached out to unbuckle his belt.
Carmen's eyes widened, not even daring to blink for fear of missing the annual show. Only his increasingly rapid breathing showed his uneasiness.

Before Bod could take off his pants, they heard the sound of the door being opened.
The sound of pushing the door was very clear, and the moment the sound rang out, the young man and woman were frightened to death.
Bod quickly turned around and put on his clothes, while Carmen breathed heavily and picked up her dagger.
"Did I disturb you?"
The sun shines in from outside the door and is very dazzling, making it difficult to see who is standing at the door.
Carmen tilted his head to get a better look, but before he could see clearly, the person standing at the door came in.
Click!!
With the sound of the door closing, a man wearing a brown suit, a windbreaker, and a jazz hat walked in.
The strong light for a moment made Carmen couldn't help but blink his eyes. After he adapted to the surrounding lights, the person was already sitting next to him.
"Don't get excited, young man."
Just as Carmen was about to raise the dagger, a pair of strong hands pressed on his wrist.
After two hard pumps, the owner of these hands was really strong. No matter how hard Carmen tried, she couldn't pull her hands back.
"You, why are you here?"
After finishing his clothes, Bertie hid behind Carmen in a panic, like a little girl who had done something wrong and been discovered by her parents.
Wang Xu took off his jazz hat, put it on his left hand, and said: "Before your father left, he asked me to help him take care of the shop. He always thought that you were still young and it was not safe to leave you alone in the shop.
, I think he’s right.”
Wang Xu said this, glanced at Bod's jacket, and whispered: "You buttoned it wrong."
Bertie's face turned red and she quickly turned her head to straighten her clothes. She simply couldn't imagine that if her father knew about this, Carmen would be killed by a gunman hired by her father.
"We are friends" he fastened the buttons haphazardly. Bod lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wang Xu. He begged in a low voice: "Can you keep it secret for us? If my father knows, he will definitely go crazy."
Wang Xu shrugged and did not answer Bod's words, but turned to look at Carmen.
Ever since Carmen recognized him, she had been clutching the dagger tightly, ready to attack at any time.
Unfortunately, his strength was too weak for Wang Xu. Wang Xu could immobilize him by pressing his wrist with just one finger.
"Carmen, is this your real name?" Wang Xu looked at Carmen without any expression on his face.
"What are you going to do?"
Although Carmen's left shoulder was injured and his right hand was held down by Wang Xu, he showed no fear, just like a newborn calf.
"Haha!" Wang Xu smiled, retracted his hand, and looked at Carmen who pointed the dagger at him: "If I were you, I wouldn't think that a dagger can have much effect. Don't be nervous, young man
Man, I’m not here to check, I’m just a little interested in you. Now, tell me your name, what’s your name?”
"Eluke, Carmen!" Carmen didn't know whether she wanted Wang Xu to put down his guard, or whether she wanted to appear non-threatening. After hearing Wang Xu's words, Carmen actually put down the dagger in her hand.
Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction, took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket, pushed it in front of Carmen, and said softly: "Have you seen what's on it?"
Carmen calmly took the note and opened it. The note seemed to be torn from the page of a book. It had a patterned stone arch painted on it, which looked full of mystery and solemnity.
"I don't know, I've never seen this thing before, I swear."
Carmen just glanced at it briefly, shook her head and pushed the note back.
Because he was sure that if he had seen this thing, he would be deeply impressed, but he tried to recall it for a long time, but he still had no impression at all.
Wang Xu looked into his eyes, and after three seconds, he nodded and stood up, put away the note and left without looking back.
Carmen just looked at him like this, and waited until Wang Xu opened the door before saying loudly: "What is that?"
"The Door of Truth."
Wang Xu paused slightly, holding the door with one hand and pointing to Carmen with the other: "You will see it soon. Believe me, you are the most special one."

Looking at the door that was closed again, Carmen was very confused and muttered to her little girlfriend: "I don't even know what he is talking about."
