Father Ma stood there, his back soaked with cold sweat.
He closed his eyes, quickly crossed himself on his chest, and then leaned against the closed iron door as if helpless, breathing heavily.
But he didn't collapse.
He was rapidly thinking about Harada Naoto's words of "arrest the refugees one by one into the military police for interrogation."
If the food is gone, you can still think of something else, but if you offend the Japanese, these hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people will all go to jail!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and put his trembling hands behind his back.
He hurriedly told the assistant next to him a few words, and then put on the washed white coat.
He took a step forward and walked out of the church without looking back.
He relied on the vague address he left when delivering the food.
I went from house to house in the alleys on the edge of the French Concession and asked about "the owner named Gu".
All he got in return was confusion and shaking of his head.
The sky was getting dark, and the cold wind was blowing on my face like a knife.
Father Ma stood at the entrance of an unfamiliar alley, looking at the gray street, his brows knitted together.
He didn't know what extraordinary abilities Gu Dongjia had.But he knew that if Gu Dongjia didn't show up before dawn tomorrow.
This courtyard full of refugees, as well as him, the priest, might be in trouble.
Just when Father Ma gritted his teeth and was about to bite the bullet and continue looking.
Turning the corner, a woman wearing a coarse cotton-padded jacket and a faded headscarf on her head came out.
She was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained several handfuls of vegetables.
She looked like an ordinary maid who had just finished work and was rushing to the market to buy dinner.
The woman walked up to Father Ma and suddenly stopped.
He looked him up and down, with a hint of just the right amount of surprise in his eyes.
"Hey, Father Ma? Why are you here?"
The woman lowered her voice and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Father Ma suddenly raised his head and stared at the unimpressive face in front of him.
But when he met those familiar eyes, he was shocked, and a flash of light suddenly burst out from his eyes.
He immediately took a step forward and lowered his voice.
His tone was urgent but he tried his best to control it: "Is...is it the stewardess sent by Gu Dong's family?!"
Ye Jingshu looked around calmly, confirming that there was no hidden whistle from the gendarmerie, and then nodded slightly.
She specially changed her disguise after getting off work, originally planning to go to the church to find Father Ma.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into this alley, she met Father Ma who came out of the church and looked for her anxiously.
