Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 253 Church Wedding
The sky gradually darkened, and the clear sky disappeared and was replaced by thick clouds.

The leaves on the trees swayed, and the wind rolled the transparent plastic bags into the sky, like a kite with a broken string.

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

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

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

Lu Mingfei and Eriyi left Disneyland a long time ago. They were walking in the snack street. Eriyi was holding a box of takoyaki in her hand, a ball bulged on her left cheek, and she swallowed a whole takoyaki.

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

Erika took a toothpick and put a takoyaki in front of Lu Mingfei, the sauce was covered with bonito flakes.

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

"Do you want to go back?" Lu Mingfei chewed on the hot takoyaki and said vaguely.

Erika shook her head, there are so many fun things out there, she hasn't had enough of them yet.

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

This is the lowest-level chapel in the church. There is a cross 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 recognize you as my wife, and promise that from now on, no matter in good times or bad times, in sickness or health, I will always love you, respect you, and never change for the rest of my life. I ask the Lord to honor my wishes." The man in a suit said. The groom swears in the presence of the priest.

A white and pure wedding dress is draped over the shoulders of the bride. She holds a bouquet in her hand and closes her eyes reverently.

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

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

Erika stared blankly at the bride and groom, and a certain wish sprouted in her heart.

The rain fell from the sky, dripping onto the tip of the girl's nose, the ground was soaked by the raindrops, and the scattered raindrops gradually joined together. Lu Mingfei quickly hid under the eaves of the church with Erika.

"Please come in to shelter from the rain." The nun of the church smiled and said, "There are still seats in the hall."

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"God loves the world, and I think this lady is also willing 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 from one shoulder to the other.

Erika bowed politely to the nun.

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

Lu Mingfei and Eriyi picked a corner seat and quietly watched the newcomers on the altar.

"Is this a wedding?" Erika wrote in her notebook.

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

The hall was very quiet. Everyone put their palms together, put their elbows on the seats in the front row, closed their eyes and prayed. Erika and Lu Mingfei did the same. The priest in red was giving a speech.

"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 bride and groom make a vow in the presence of the Lord and sign a marriage certificate.

Music played and choirs sang hymns.

The nun brought a basin of clear water, and the priest held the scriptures 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 closes his eyes.

The priest's hand dipped into the basin and sprinkled the groom's forehead with water.

The bride smiles and looks expectantly at the groom.

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

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

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

"Is it necessary to become a believer to hold a wedding?" Erika looked at the basin of clear water, as if she was eager to try.

"Of course not, my child. Even people without faith can apply to pastors and priests to hold weddings in churches, as long as they discuss the time with the church staff." A pastor in black sat between the two of them. beside.

He is gray-haired, with wrinkles all over his face, and behind him is a cross programmed with blue lines.

"How about it, do you want to consider becoming a Christian?" 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 the ramen chef from the small noodle stall? Why did he become a part-time pastor in a church?
Pastor Yue noticed Lu Mingfei's gaze, and was also stunned.

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

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

"I just come here to work part-time occasionally." Uesugi Koshi's eyes wandered back and forth between Erika and Lu Mingfei, "Who is this?"

"This is my girlfriend." Lu Mingfei introduced.

"Then who was the lady who ate noodles with you last time?" Uesugi Yue couldn't help asking.

He shouldn't have asked such a private question, but he felt that this red-haired girl was very kind for no reason, so he couldn't help but wonder if Lu Mingfei was in two boats.

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

"That's my friend. That day she brought my friend's younger brother to Tokyo for a tour, so I went to see them along the way." Lu Mingfei held Erika's hand.

"Is that so?" Uesugi narrowed his eyes like a fox, a man's mouth, a deceiving ghost, of course he would not simply believe Lu Mingfei's words.

Only men understand men best. He was an izakaya vagabond with infinite charm. He knows how low IQ women are when they are in love. At this time, no matter what nonsense they say, they will believe it.

The more Uesugi has experienced in the battlefield, he understands that affection can be faked.

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

If such a cute little girl breaks up in love, she will definitely cry, what a sad thing that is.

"See you again, I haven't asked your name yet." Uesugi Koshi said.

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

Erika waved to Uesugi and said hello, Uesugi looked at him blankly, as if he had seen this figure somewhere many years ago.

He swallowed his saliva, and stretched out his hand in disbelief, but in a trance, the hall played ritual music, the bride stood with her back to the hall, and threw out the bouquet, and the white bouquet flew high behind her , the young girls stretch out their hands, looking forward to receiving the bouquet, which represents a sacred blessing. It is said that the girl who receives the bouquet at the wedding will become the next bride.

Erika's eyes were shining brightly, and she wrote in her notebook, "What are they doing?"

Lu Mingfei patiently explained to her, she looked enviously at the girl who received the bouquet, and put her head on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

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

He held his breath, opened the necklace, carefully looked at the yellowed black-and-white photo hidden inside, and then carefully looked at Erika Yi's side face, suddenly felt powerless, and a certain strong emotion was like a volcanic eruption burst out.

No wonder he felt cordial. He didn't know how to express this feeling. Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. In the cloudy eyes, the outline of Erika gradually blurred, overlapping with Sister Charlotte.

He seems to have returned to a long, long time ago, when he was worshiping in the church, his mother smiled and waved to him, gently stroking his forehead.

The sun was so good, coming in through the window, that my mother whispered, "May the Lord keep you."

Memories surged across time, he held his face, and the suffocation overwhelmed him.

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

As soon as a person reaches old age, many problems will emerge in the body. The elderly cannot withstand bumps. They are fine one second, and may faint on the ground the next second.

Even if Master Yue has a strong posture, he may suffer from diseases, and a strong posture does not mean that he is healthy.

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

"Or call the doctor to take a look." Lu Mingfei handed over a tissue.

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

"Son, can you sit down a bit?" He asked Erika softly, almost begging.

Erika looked at Lu Mingfei, and Lu Mingfei nodded, so Erika moved towards Uesugi Koshi's position.

Eriyi acted very unfamiliar, it was obviously the first time I met him, although he looks very similar, but if you look closely, you can still see the difference in facial features, mother's facial features are deeper and more Western, while Eri Li Yi knew at a glance that she was Asian.

Even so, the two are strikingly similar.

"It's so similar." Uesugi Yue's mood gradually stabilized, and he showed Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi the photos in the necklace.

"Who is this?" Lu Mingfei asked, the person in the photo does look a lot like Eri Yi, they look like sisters, or a mixed-race Eri Yi, but this photo is very old, Without color, only a camera from the last century would have taken such a picture.

"This is my mother. She has been dead for many years." Uesugi Yue touched the face in the photo tenderly, and 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 slowly and relieved.

He stared blankly at Erika's face, Lu Mingfei didn't know how to describe his expression, it seemed to be nostalgic, but it was filled with deep remorse.

"Son, can you talk?" Uesugi tried more carefully.

"She can't talk." Lu Mingfei answered for Huiliyi.

Uesugi was stunned for a while, and once again realized that Erika was not his mother. Her mother died many years ago, but how could there be two people who look so similar in the world?
His heart suddenly hurt like a piercing pain. This is the punishment given to him by the Lord. He will never forget his sins. He has no right to return to Lyon, and he is not qualified to return to his hometown.

In fact, he came today to resign from the priest. He bought a plane ticket to France. After so many years, he saved a sum of money by selling noodles. The money is not much, but it is enough to buy a single-living room in Lyon. The small house, where he first grew up, all the good things in his life are in that small town.

But he never had the courage to go back. He caused 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 life is more important to him than death. suffering, so he has lived until now just to pay for his sins.

Until he knew that he still had a child in this world, and Yuan Zhisheng was undoubtedly his child. This incident seemed to rekindle his hope, at least a little bit of hope in life, so he finally encouraged Take the courage to go back to Lyon to see.

He had the shame to think that his sins had been forgiven.

Lord, please forgive my vanity and ignorance!
Uesugi put away the necklace, his withered arms were like rotten branches.

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

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

Uesugi Yue could no longer suppress his inner emotions, his heart seemed to be tightly held by someone.

Lord, why are you punishing me like this!
Please whip my body with thunder and lightning, burn my bone marrow with flames, I am repenting, I am repenting every day, dusk falls, 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." Erika also wrote.

Uesugi Yue shed tears again, and the tears he shed today were more than what he had shed in the past few decades.

He sat down and spoke in an old voice.

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

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

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

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

"Uesugi Erika." Erika wrote her name in beautiful calligraphy.

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

That's right, he should have thought about it a long time ago. How can there be someone in the world who looks so much like his mother? This is his daughter!
The blood flowing in this child's body was inherited from him and also from his mother!
