when god comes

It was already dark, Ning Yan and Hua Zai returned to their room with heavy hearts.

After the Athenians finished their prayers, they asked a girl who was still in good spirits what happened to these tombs.The girl didn't want to answer at first, but seeing that they were foreigners and their stomachs were still growling when they were questioned, she took the two of them home.

That grave is a cemetery, where soldiers who died in the war are buried.Athens has fought one battle after another with Sparta recently, and Athens has suffered disastrous defeats one after another. The soldiers who went out basically did not return, but the citizens' assembly still decided to continue the war.

"The citizens' assembly is unreasonable at all. There are always winners and losers in wars, but they actually blamed the defeated generals and voted to expel them from Athens." The girl was almost in tears.

"That old woman is the general's mother. All the men in their family went to the battlefield, and only her general's son came back. They, they even drove him out of the city!" The girl was almost angry.

Hua Zai was still in the room comforting the girl, and Ning Yan saw the old woman kneeling in front of the tomb through the door, opening and closing her mouth as if to say something.

Ning Hao greeted them and went out.The old woman's dress is different from ordinary people's robes. It is separated from the top to the top, with clothes on the top, tied with a rope in the middle, and a skirt with pleats on the bottom.

Ning Hao listened closely and found that she was saying something indistinctly, like a prayer.

"A Ning", Huazai called Ning Yan, but found that she didn't hear, "Ning Yan", she folded her hands into a small trumpet shape, and called out again.

Ning Yu finally turned her head, she smiled at Ning Yu, "Let's go back."

Ning Ju replied "OK" with gestures, looked at the old woman again, turned around and prepared to leave.

There was a strong force pulling her, and Ning Hao was forced to point her head, and found that her hand was pulled at some point, and the old woman turned her head at some point, staring at Ning Hao, her eyes were on the side of her face. The proportion is beyond the size of the average human being, and the eye sockets are torn out, and the wrinkles on the face seem to separate her face.

She laughed suddenly, her mouth opened a terrifying arc, "If you don't believe in God, you will definitely die, you will definitely die, just like the people in the tomb, do you understand! Do you understand!"

She turned her head, the candlelight was dancing, half of the old woman's face was in the darkness, as if she was crying again.

Ning Hao was frightened by her twitching expression and almost crazy eyes, she forgot to move around for a while, until Hua Zai came to pull her away.

Ning Hao sat on his bed, thinking about what he saw today, holding the crystal ball, motionless.I don't know when, Ning Yan began to rely more and more on this ball.

"A Ning", Hua Zai saw Ning Yan came in and sat on the bed without saying a word, a little worried, "Are you okay, are you scared by that old lady just now?"

"Oh, not really." Ning Ju realized, "It's not very scary, hehe."

Ning Hao watched Hua Zai come and sit beside his bed, and the bed made a creaking sound.Huazai took Ning Yu's hand and carefully observed Ning Yu's expression.

This girl is really too gentle, she has just met her, and she even called her by her nickname.

They only lit two candles, and the room was not fully lit.Huazai took Ning Ju's hand, and her hair fell on the back of Ning Ju's hand, so soft.

Ning Yan inexplicably likes and trusts Hua Zai, maybe because of her warm and restrained personality, maybe because she is so good-looking.

This is the suspension bridge effect, Ning Yan reached out and brushed Huazai's hair, but didn't listen to her rambling.

Although I don't know you well, I don't know your experience, your thoughts, and why your wounds healed this morning, but I still choose to believe in you, after all, you are my only partner now.

Before going to bed, Ning Yan looked at the statue on the bedside table, but she didn't know what kind of god it was, so she asked Hua Zai, "Do you think we should worship this statue?"

"The old lady said that people who don't believe in God will die, so I was wondering if we should believe it." Ning Hao explained that Huazai didn't understand it very well.

They hesitated for a long time, and when Ning Yan decided to pay their respects, the crystal ball on the bed suddenly lit up.Ning Yan looked over and instantly understood the meaning of the crystal ball.

It was not talking, it was a very strong emotion for Ning Yu, and it was a feeling to convey to Ning Yu that he hated the act of worshiping God.

Is this telling me not to say hello?But why?

"Are you still praying?" Hua Zai, who had stood up and was about to kneel down, asked.

"Ah, I think we should stop worshiping. We don't really believe in it, right? It doesn't mean that only those who really believe in God can worship God, right?" sleep.

In other rooms, some people had already worshiped the gods and kowtowed devoutly. The gods on the bedside table were so smooth that their faces were illuminated.

Athens Square Street, which is still lively during the day, actually has a sense of loneliness at night, and the sound of mice crawling can be heard, and the buildings under the moonlight cast shadows on the street.

The wind picked up the leaves that fell on the ground and blew over the wooden board of the notice. A man in a tattered robe and stubbled face stood in front of the notice, looking at the notice of judgment.Under the moonlight, his unbelievable eyes met the indifferent eyes of Socrates on the notice, with an ugly smile on his face.

He walked towards the west side of the square and disappeared after a while.

The next day, Hua Zai and Ning Yan woke up before dawn.Socrates' trial is too important. Since they couldn't get into the theater yesterday, Ning Hao and Hua Zai decided to sneak in and hide in advance.

As soon as I squatted down in the hidden place where I ambush to the backstage of the theater, I saw Mr. Zhang, the two brothers and the muscular man coming in one after another.

Ning Yan poked his head out secretly. The trial had not yet started, but some Athenians had already entered, and the number of people gradually increased.

While Ning Yan was still looking out, footsteps sounded, and she was pulled into Hua Zai's arms before she could react.

But their positions were not hidden enough, as if someone had spotted them, their footsteps gradually approached.

Ning Hao grabbed a small prop and attached power to it, but she hadn't figured out whether to knock this person unconscious or throw it out to attract his attention. Both methods are not very feasible, so what should I do.

Just when Ning Yu was sweating anxiously, the man was suddenly stopped, "Ed, where are you going, Mr. Socrates has arrived."

"Oh, good Mr. Anitus, I'll be right there," Ead left.

Realizing that there was a problem with the chosen location, Ning Hao and Hua Zai said that no one noticed that the location was moved. "If I knew it earlier, I would have stolen the clothes of the Athenians. If that's the case, let's sit down now." Hua Yang squeezed on Ning Yan.

"That's not acceptable. Let's not say that the number of people in the citizens' assembly is certain. Look at these people. We have no chance." Ning Hao felt that he was already in a mess, and he spoke with great difficulty.

Hua Zai pried a piece of wood off, and tried to look out, "If we don't count the quota, we should be able to do it, look at this..." Before she finished speaking, she herself discovered the problem. It's men, not a single woman.

"The Citizens' Assembly in Athens is like this. Although it is a democracy, it is only for citizens. Women are not citizens." Ning Yan and Hua Zai explained, "Including the staff, I also thought that we could find a robe to mix in. , It's a pity that the robes they wear don't have hoods, so they can't cover their faces."

Pooh!The masculinity of this feudal society, Ning Yu spat in his mind, and continued to be crushed.

The trial finally began. Socrates was wearing a white robe and stood on a high platform. He didn't seem to be disturbed, and looked directly at the citizens' meeting in front of him.

The three gentlemen who sued Socrates wore fancy clothes different from ordinary white robes, and stood in the theater one by one to attack Socrates.Ning Hao, who was hiding under the stage, was about to roll his eyes when he heard about not revering God and bewitching teenagers.

But they talked too passionately, and the judges below gradually became agitated. Some looked very angry, and some even couldn't hold back and threw their shoes at Socrates' place.

The chaotic scene was immediately controlled by the chairman, and Socrates, who was standing on the stage, still didn't respond, and he didn't pay any attention to the pointers from the people below.

"As expected of a master", if Ning Yan saw this scene, she would definitely sigh like this.She had always respected Socrates and thought he was a very wise person.

Finally it was time for Socrates to speak, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden scream from the crowd. People were looking for who was screaming, and found blood pouring out from under their seats, and A man crawled out covered in blood.

The entire theater was in chaos, and there were all kinds of sounds for a while, as if zombies had entered the vegetable market.

If the two of Ning Hua could see this scene, they would find that the blood-stained, mentally disturbed person was one of the players, and there were only two pieces of clothes left under the seat. Not a single body remained.

But because the two of them were under the stage, they couldn't see clearly through a pried wooden board. They only heard the chairman on the stage in a very flustered manner, announcing that the trial would be postponed.

While the people were still in confusion, Hua Zai wanted to see what happened there, but Ning Yan grabbed her with his backhand and pulled her out.

"Let's go now, let's find Socrates now." Ning Yan jumped on the stage to try to find Socrates. Anyway, no one noticed her in the chaos, but she didn't know what Socrates looked like. He glanced briefly through the boards before taking the stage, but saw no faces.

But she noticed that some people in gorgeous clothes surrounded an old man, pushed through the crowd and walked out, and one of the young people walked out and said, "I don't know what happened to this group of fools, has the judge been punished? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The young man spoke so loudly that he deliberately wanted the people inside to hear him. Sure enough, someone who heard him raised his head and gave the group of people a hard look.

The old man frowned, as if he was reprimanding the young man just now.His voice was not loud, Ning Ju guessed it when he saw the young man lowered his head like a quail.

"Hua Zai", Ning Ju held Hua Zai's hand, "Hua Zai, let's go, I found him." Knowing etiquette, elegant temperament, and having so many students, there is no mistake, that person is Socrates .

Indeed, that old man was Socrates, but Ning Yan would never have imagined that what he just said to the young man was different from what Ning Yan had imagined.

They secretly followed behind this group of people, crossed the square, and walked to the east of the market.After walking quite a distance, the group of people finally stopped in front of a house made of clay.

This house is not far from the player's wooden house, and it can even be called very close. The girls wrote down the location and planned to come and visit after Socrates' students left.

But when they looked up, the old man was standing at the door of the house looking at them.

"You two little friends, since you have already followed us all the way, what's the matter?"
