During the day, the church did not reopen, and many people waiting to receive gifts were disappointed.
"Didn't I agree yesterday that I could receive gifts today?"
"Yes, yes, we came here and queued up before dawn. You foreigners have no credibility!"
"This is not okay. If we don't give out gifts, we won't leave today!"
"My opponent, this is what we have to do, otherwise we will be easy to bully, and when we finally open the door, we will say that we will not give out gifts!"
How can there be such truth!"
"..."
A group of common people blocked the door of the church, shouting and shouting.
All the church clergy looked at the messy scene in front of them and frowned.
Until Father Wu walked out of it, everyone seemed to have found their backbone and said:
"Father Wu, what should we do now? If we don't give out gifts, they will block the door here."
Father Wu had long heard the messy sounds outside, and he never thought that temporarily suspending the distribution of gifts for one day because of what happened last night would cause such a big problem.
"Father Wu, why don't we send out gifts as usual today? Otherwise, it's not an option to continue like this. We have to let these people underestimate our church."
Someone suggested.
"Father Wu, I don't think we can publish it. It's already like this. If we publish it, it won't mean that we made a compromise under their coercion.
In that case, it will create invisible obstacles for us to attract believers in the future.
It will make them feel that as long as they express dissatisfaction, the church must make concessions.
Moreover, now they are not our believers, they are just a group of unruly people!"
Someone else said, putting forward the opposite opinion, and the words were much sharper.
Father Wu looked at the two people, and then at the people outside who were noisy and asking for gifts. He thought slightly in his heart, and then said:
"You must remember that they are all sinners, and as long as they finally believe in our Lord, the Lord can forgive them.
It's not appropriate to let them continue to gather around here. Let's give out some gifts.
However, just give out the least valuable ones.
And told them that the church has been temporarily closed in the past few days, and the reopening time will be notified separately."
"Yes, Father Wu."
Father Wu issued the decree, and no one said anything.
…
After David learned about the church's closure, he hurriedly found Father Wu.
"Father Wu, I heard...what went wrong? Or is Uncle Jiu behind the scenes?"
David asked.
Father Wu took David to a relatively quiet place, sighed and said:
"David, I can understand how you feel. It's not the wine uncle who is causing trouble. Speaking of which, if you want the church to reopen, I'm afraid you have to ask the wine uncle for help."
David was confused on the spot, what was going on?!
"What happened?"
"Listen to me carefully, it's like this..."
Father Wu spoke unhurriedly, but there was a worried look on his face.
"Zombie! Or a foreign zombie! Are you really the priest from twenty years ago?"
David asked in disbelief, but he didn't really believe it.
If there really was a zombie sleeping in the church in Jiuquan Town for twenty years, that would be too funny, just to fool children!
You must know that in the past twenty years, no one has been bitten by a zombie in Jiuquan Town. It is obviously nonsense.
"Father Wu, could this be a trap deliberately set by Uncle Jiu?"
Father Wu shook his head cautiously and said:
"Probably not. The following words were all told to us by Jason himself."
David frowned and said again:
"But you also said that it was pitch dark at the time and you couldn't see your hands, and Jason's candle fell to the ground and went out. So how did Jason see the other party clearly?"
"Uh... Well, Jason seemed to have walked over and got a clear look at the zombie before it moved."
Father Wu thought about Jason's words and felt that there were loopholes in them.
David laughed and said:
"Father Wu, here comes the problem. Since there is really a zombie, according to Uncle Jiu, it has been sleeping for twenty years, which means it has not bitten anyone or sucked blood in twenty years.
This is equivalent to a person who has been hungry for twenty years. After waking up, the first thing he should do is to look for something to eat.
But Jason was only attacked and knocked unconscious, but Jason was not killed and sucked blood.
Is that zombie really so kind?"
Without waiting for Father Wu to answer, David continued:
“So I think it’s fake that there are zombies, but it’s true that someone deliberately made trouble!
Uncle Jiu, this old guy, really didn’t realize that he was so bad and even teamed up with a foreign Taoist priest to play tricks!
However, do you really think you can deceive me with this little trick? Haha!
Father Wu, don't worry about anything else. The church continues to be open. It has finally made the people realize the greatness of our Lord again. At this point in time, we must not temporarily close the church, otherwise all the previous preparations will be wasted.
There is an old saying in China, which is that if you work hard at one go, you will be exhausted again and again, you will be weak!
Attracting believers is like fighting a war, you have to move forward."
David talks eloquently and his analysis is succinct.
Father Wu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what David said made sense. Looking back now, it seems more likely that it was a trap.
After Father Wu thought for a moment, he said:
"Well, just do what you said David, and the church will continue to open its doors to attract believers."
"Father Wu, that's right! Oh, I have something to do now, so I'll leave first. If you need anything else, just ask someone to find me at the Yamen."
"..."
The two said goodbye, and Father Wu conveyed his meaning again.
Uncle Jiu's home.
Axing and Xiaoyue quietly disguised themselves, and one of them went to get a gift and came back. They hid it quietly before walking up to Uncle Jiu and saying:
"Master, the church has opened again, and gifts are still being distributed."
After the wine uncle put on his clothes, he raised his eyebrows and said with a frown:
"Is it on again? Are they crazy? Are they desperate for their lives? Come on, follow me out and take a look!"
While talking, Uncle Jiu walked outside.
Sure enough, just as A Xing and Xiao Yue said, the entrance of the church was crowded and extremely noisy.
Father Wu saw the appearance of Uncle Jiu from a distance, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile:
"Uncle Jiu, what advice do you have?"
Uncle Jiu heard Father Wu's strange tone and looked at him in confusion. What kind of situation had just passed one night? It was as if he had completely changed.
"Father Wu, why did you do this? Pindao made it very clear last night!"
