Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei returns from Sekiro

The sky gradually darkened, and the clear skies disappeared and were replaced by thick clouds.

The leaves on the trees swayed, and the wind carried the transparent plastic bag flying into the sky, like a kite with its string broken.

The direction of the airflow changed and the good weather disappeared.

"The weather forecast is indeed inaccurate." Someone looked at the sky and quickly hid under the eaves.

Pedestrians left in a hurry. It looked like it was going to rain. Those who should go home to collect their clothes, and those who should collect their clothes should collect their clothes.

Lu Mingfei and Eriyi had left Disneyland long ago. They were walking in the snack street. Eriyi was holding a box of takoyaki in her hand, and a ball bulged out on the left side of her face. She swallowed a whole takoyaki.

"It's going to rain." Lu Mingfei looked up.

Eriyi used a toothpick to tie up a takoyaki and brought it to Lu Mingfei. The sauce was stained with bonito shavings.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, and the huge takoyaki was stuffed into Lu Mingfei's mouth.

"Do you want to go back?" Lu Mingfei said vaguely while chewing the hot takoyaki.

Eriki shook her head. There were so many fun things outside, but she hadn't had enough.

She stopped in front of a church, which belonged to Christianity. It was at the end of the snack street, and next door was an elderly community.

This is the lowest-level chapel in the church. There is a cross standing on the dome of the church, and there are three doors in the middle. The doors are open, and someone is holding a wedding in the hall.

"I solemnly acknowledge you as my wife and promise that from now on, no matter good or bad, in sickness or in health, I will always love you and respect you for the rest of my life. May the Lord consider my wishes." The man in a suit The groom swears in the presence of the priest.

A pure white wedding dress is draped over the bride's shoulders. She holds a bouquet and closes her eyes piously.

"Ms. Fucheng Yuko, put this ring on you to prove my loyalty and love to you. Please God bless us." The groom put the ring on the bride.

"Mr. Kanai Ryosuke, I put this ring on you to express my loyalty and love. May the Lord bless us." The bride also put on a ring for the groom.

Eriki stared blankly at the bride and groom, a certain desire sprouting in her heart.

Rain fell from the sky and dripped onto the tip of the girl's nose. The ground was soaked by the raindrops. The scattered raindrops gradually connected together. Lu Mingfei quickly took Eliyi and hid under the eaves of the church.

"Please come in and take shelter from the rain." The nun from the church said with a smile, "There are still seats in the hall."

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"God so loves the world, I think this lady is also happy to listen to the 'Gospel'." The nun made a sign of the cross with her right index finger from her forehead to her chest, and then from one shoulder to the other.

Eriki bowed politely to the nun.

"Please don't make a sound, stay quiet, and bless the newlyweds, and their gospel will be shared with you." The nun sent a Bible to Eri.

Lu Mingfei and Eriki chose a seat in the corner and quietly watched the newcomers on the altar.

"Is this a wedding?" Eriyi wrote in the notebook.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei also wrote in the notebook.

The hall was very quiet. Everyone put their hands together, rested their elbows on the seats in the front row, closed their eyes and prayed. Eriki and Lu Mingfei also did the same. The priest in red was delivering a speech.

"Since this is a match made in heaven, may the loving Lord bless you, grow old together, and be united forever." The solemn priest offered his blessing in an old voice.

The groom and the bride made a vow and signed a marriage contract in front of the Lord.

Music plays and the choir sings hymns.

The nun brought a basin of water, and the priest held a scripture in his hand and raised his right hand, "Because of your confession of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

The groom closed his eyes.

The priest dips his hand into the basin and sprinkles water drops on the groom's forehead.

The bride smiled and looked at the groom expectantly.

After the baptism, there was warm applause in the venue. The bride hugged the groom, walked off the altar, thanked the guests and friends, and took photos with relatives and friends.

"Why did he sprinkle water on the groom's forehead?" Eriki wrote in the notebook.

"This is baptism, which means that he will join Christianity and become a believer from today onwards." Lu Mingfei responded.

"Is it necessary to become a believer to hold a wedding?" Eliyi looked at the basin of water and seemed eager to try.

"Of course not. Children, even people without faith can apply to pastors and priests to hold weddings in churches. You just need to discuss the time with the church staff." A priest in black sat down next to the two of them. beside.

He has gray hair, wrinkles all over his face, and a cross programmed with blue lines on his back.

"How about it, do you want to consider joining the church?" The pastor took out a Bible from his breast pocket, "The Lord will bless you."

Lu Mingfei looked at the white-haired old man and was stunned.

Isn't this a ramen chef from a small noodle stall? Why is he working as a part-time pastor in a church?

Pastor Yue noticed Lu Mingfei's gaze and was stunned.

He remembered this face, and the child who asked him to learn how to make noodles that afternoon left a deep impression on him. By the way, he also remembered the man and woman who took care of the child.

"Master Yue, I unexpectedly met you here." Lu Mingfei said, "I didn't expect you to be a priest."

"I only come here occasionally to work part-time." Uesugoshi's eyes wandered back and forth between Eriki and Lu Mingfei, "Who is this?"

"This is my girlfriend." Lu Mingfei introduced.

"Who was the lady who had noodles with you last time?" Uesugoshi couldn't help but ask.

He shouldn't have asked such a private question, but he felt that this red-haired girl was very friendly for no reason, and he couldn't help but wonder if Lu Mingfei was treading water.

He really couldn't bear to see a red-haired girl being cheated on her feelings by a scumbag.

"That's my friend. She brought my friend's brother to Tokyo for a trip that day, and I went to see them." Lu Mingfei held Eli Yi's hand.

"Is that so?" Uesugi narrowed his eyes like a fox. A man's mouth is a liar. Of course, he would not simply believe Lu Mingfei's words.

Only men understand men best. After all, he was also a charming izakaya swinger back then, and he knew how low the IQ of women was when they were in love. At this time, no matter what nonsense they said, they would believe it.

Uesugoshi has been on the battlefield for a long time and understands that affection can be faked.

Now I can hold your hand and say eternal vows, but tomorrow I can kick you aside.

If such a cute little girl loses her love, she will definitely burst into tears. That is such a sad thing.

"We meet again, and I haven't asked you your name yet," Uesugoshi said.

"My name is Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei said.

Eriko waved hello to Uesugoshi, and Uesugoshi stared blankly, as if he had seen this figure somewhere many years ago.

He swallowed and stretched out his hand in disbelief, but suddenly, ritual music was playing in the lobby. The bride stood with her back to the lobby and threw the bouquet, and the white bouquet flew high behind her. , young girls stretch out their hands, expecting to receive the bouquet, which represents divine blessing. It is said that the girl who receives the bouquet at the wedding will become the next bride.

Eriki's eyes were shining as she wrote in her notebook, "What are they doing?"

Lu Mingfei patiently explained to her. She looked at the girl who received the bouquet with envy and put her head on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

Uesugoshi took a deep breath and took out a bunch of necklaces with trembling hands.

He held his breath, opened the necklace, and looked carefully at the yellowed black-and-white photo hidden inside. Then he looked carefully at Eri Yi's side face. Suddenly he felt weak all over, and some strong emotion was like a volcanic eruption. Burst out.

No wonder he had a warm feeling. He didn't know how to express this feeling. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. In his cloudy eyes, the outline of Eriyi gradually blurred and overlapped with Sister Charlotte.

He seemed to be back a long time ago, when he was worshiping in church, and his mother smiled and waved to him, gently touching his forehead.

The sunshine was so good, streaming in through the window, and my mother whispered, "May the Lord protect you."

Memories surged across time, and he held his face, feeling suffocated.

"Master Yue, what's wrong with you! Are you okay?" Lu Mingfei looked at the old man beside him in surprise and held his shoulders.

When people reach old age, many physical problems will appear. The elderly cannot withstand bumps. They may be fine one second, but may faint on the ground the next second.

Even if Master Yue has a strong posture, he may still be suffering from diseases. A strong posture does not mean good health.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" Uesugoshi wiped his tears with his sleeves.

"Otherwise, let's call the doctor to take a look." Lu Mingfei handed over a tissue.

"I'm really fine, I just thought of someone." Uesugoshi took the tissue and wiped his face.

"Child, can you sit over here?" He asked softly, almost pleadingly, facing Eriki.

Eriki looked at Lu Mingfei, who nodded, so Eriki moved towards Uesugoshi's position.

Eriyi acted very unfamiliar. It was obviously the first time she met him. Although she looked very similar, if you look carefully, you can still see the difference in facial features. Her mother's facial features are deeper and more Western, while Eriyi's facial features are deeper and more Western. Li Yi knew at a glance that she was Asian.

Even so, the two are strikingly similar.

"It's so similar." Uesugoshi's mood gradually stabilized and he showed the photos in the necklace to Lu Mingfei and Eriki.

"Who is this?" Lu Mingfei asked. The person in the photo did look very similar to Eriyi. They looked like sisters, or maybe the mixed-race Eriyi, but this photo was very old. Without color, only a camera from the last century could produce such a photo.

"This is my mother. She passed away many years ago." Uesugi touched the face in the photo tenderly. When he mentioned his mother, he still looked like a child.

"I'm sorry, my mother has been away from me for a long time. I'm just too excited." Uesugi patted his chest and breathed out slowly.

He stared blankly at Eryi's face. Lu Mingfei didn't know how to describe his expression. It seemed like nostalgia, but also with deep regret.

"Child, can you speak?" Uesugi tried carefully.

"She can't speak." Lu Mingfei answered for Eli Yi.

Uesugoshi was stunned for a moment, realizing once again that Eriko was not his mother. Her mother died many years ago, but how could there be two people who looked so similar in the world?

His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. This was the punishment given to him by the Lord. He could never forget his sins. He had no right to return to Lyon or his hometown.

In fact, he came to resign to the priest today. He bought a plane ticket to France. Over the years, he saved a sum of money by selling noodles. The money was not much, but it was enough to buy a single house in Lyon. The small house was where he first grew up. All the good things in his life were in that small town.

But he never had the courage to go back. He was responsible for his mother's death. He didn't even have the right to commit suicide. Christianity believes that people who commit suicide will go to hell. He is a sinner who deserves to go to hell, but living is more important to him than death. Painful, so he has lived until now just to pay for his sins.

Until he knew that he still had a child in this world, Yuan Zhisheng was undoubtedly his child. This incident seemed to rekindle his hope. At least he had a little hope in life, so he finally dared to Have the courage to go back to Lyon for a visit.

He shamefully thought that his sins were forgiven.

Lord, please forgive my vanity and ignorance!

Uesugoshi put away the necklace, his withered arms were like rotten branches.

"Sorry to disturb you." Uesugi crossed himself on his chest, "May the Lord bless you."

"Don't cry." Eriki drew a smiling face and gave it to him.

Uesugoshi could no longer suppress his inner emotions, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped.

Lord, why do you punish me like this?

Please whip my body with thunder and lightning and burn my bone marrow with flames. I am repenting. I am repenting every day. When dusk sets and the sun rises, I do not ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that I can pay for my sins.

"Please sit down for a while." Lu Mingfei said, "Can you tell us about your mother? I think she must be a very good mother."

"Please sit down." Eriki also wrote.

Uesugoshi shed tears again. He shed more tears today than he had shed in the past few decades.

He sat down and spoke in an old voice.

He didn't dare to look at Eryi's face, he felt he was not qualified.

He told about his experiences in Lyon, about his kind, loving, angelic mother.

"Your mother is respected." Lu Mingfei said, and Eliyi nodded.

"Most people who have met her think so." Uesugoshi said: "I miss her very much. I have done a lot of wrong things to apologize to her. I have been repenting for it all my life. My child, can I ask your name? "

"Uesugi Eriyi." Eriyi wrote the name in elegant handwriting.

Uesugoshi seemed to be struck by five thunders, and the Bible in his hand fell to the ground.

Yes, he should have thought a long time ago, how could anyone in the world look so similar to his mother? This is his daughter!

The blood flowing in this child's body was inherited from him and his mother!
