Chapter 998
Pete Chen: "Let the priest rest now, let's all get out."

Everyone came out and stood in the church.

Zhu Yan: "Uncle Nande, you said that the priest suddenly became ill a few days ago, so can you tell me about the situation at that time, and is there anything weird about it?"

Nande: "There is nothing weird about it? As usual, although he is 80 years old, he is still in good health.

When I went to invite the priest to have breakfast that morning, I found that he was not in the room. I found the priest lying on the ground when I went to the church. I called him, but he was speechless.Only the eyes are wide open.

I helped him to stand up, but he had no strength and couldn't stand up at all, so I had to carry him to the bed.

The priest couldn't move, couldn't speak, and he was able to open his eyes for a while, but most of the time he was in a coma..."

Guo Qiqi: "I won't fall down and have a stroke, I'm paralyzed."

Zhu Yan: "Uncle Nande, can you confirm whether the priest got up in the morning and fell down? Or the night before?"

Nande: "I didn't hear any movement at night. I usually don't feel much, and I know there is some movement. But that day, I seemed to sleep very soundly. When I woke up, I found that it was a little later than usual, so I I rushed to prepare breakfast in a hurry, so I didn’t pay attention to whether the priest got up at that time. When I looked for him, I found him collapsed in the church, but judging from the location, he should be heading in this direction.”

Nande pointed to the clock tower.

"Does the priest usually go up to the bell tower?"

"Yes. He goes up once a day."

"How is the priest's health? Does he have high blood pressure? Does he have a heart attack?"

Nande: "No, the priest has always been in good health, and we often say that he will live to be a hundred years old."

"Well, did the priest say anything about his discomfort in those few days?"

Nande: "No. However, because of the death of Demin's mother, it is inevitable for the priest to be a little sad, but it shouldn't be like this..."

Zhu Yan: "Did someone die in the village?"

Nand: "Yes, it's Demin's mother."

A Miao: "What? Granny Demin is dead?"

A Miao looked surprised.

"How did you die?"

Nande: "Yes..."

Pete Chen: "Did he die abnormally?"

Nande: ...

Back in time a few days ago.

------

...Father Johnny Otti had just entered the church after breakfast, when someone came to report that Mama Demin was dying.

Demin's mother is the oldest person in the village. Their family used to run an inn. Later, her husband and son were killed during the war, so she was alone.

Because Demin's mother is very kind to the people in the village and has helped many people. She is very popular and everyone in the village takes good care of her.

Later, the village was deserted, and many people moved away, and some people also persuaded Demin's mother to go down the mountain.

Grandma said that she is an old woman with no children, so what are you going to do here?

So she stayed on the mountain.

She would come to the church to talk to the priest every day, and sometimes she would stay here for dinner.

It was fine yesterday, why suddenly it doesn't work?
The priest and Nande followed the reporter to Demin's mother's house with questions.

Demin's mother still lives in her own inn, and there are several old people living here at the same time. They are all lonely old people without children. They don't want to go down the mountain, so they live here together and take care of each other.

The inn was not far from the church, and they were there in no time.

When they arrived at Grandma's house, the others gathered around Grandma's bed, and when they saw the priest coming, they all moved out of the way.

"Father, come and see, what happened to Demin's mother?"

I saw Demin's mother lying on the bed, her eyes were wide open, but she couldn't speak, she only breathed out but not breathed in.

Priest: "How did it get so bad? Sister Demin came to the church yesterday, talking and laughing with me?"

An old man named Timoli said: "I seemed to hear something last night."

She lived next door to Demin's mother.

"There seemed to be a noise in Demin's room. I knocked on the wall and asked Demin what was wrong. She said she was dreaming and she was fine... I heard her voice was very loud and there was nothing wrong with it, so I didn't go to see it. When I woke up in the morning, Seeing that her door was still closed, I knocked on the door. She usually gets up earlier than us, but today there is no movement.

I yelled a few times, but the door couldn't be opened without hearing an answer, so I panicked and called the people downstairs to come up. Yan Song and the others opened the door, and we found Demin lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. , as if frightened, motionless. "

"Is it what it is now?"

"Yes. We were still angry when we touched her, but there was no response when we called her, so we hurried to ask the priest to come."

The priest took a look at Demin, and tested his breath and heartbeat.

have nothing left.

The priest drew a sign of the cross on his chest and said, "This is Sister Demin going to heaven to see the Father, Amen."

Hearing what the priest said, everyone didn't think much about it. After all, Demin is getting old, and sooner or later he will meet God.

The priest touched Demin's eyes with his hand, "Go, child, go to the merciful Lord, the Lord will bless you, Amen."

Demin closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

Under the auspices of the priest, Nande and the others buried Demin.

But within two days, the priest also had a problem.

------

After hearing this, Zhu Yan said, "It turns out that one person died in the village before the priest's accident. Uncle Nande, do you think Demin's death was sudden?"

Nande: "It was a bit sudden, but Demin's mother is old...it's also possible...the priest said that some people can die in their sleep."

Zhu Yan: "Both Demin and the priest suddenly had an accident. Is this a coincidence? Has anyone else had an accident in the village?"

Nande: "There is no one else but the priest."

Zhu Yan said to herself: "This is a bit strange. Is there anything in common between Demin and the priest's accident?...They...Uncle Nande, you said that the priest's eyes are wide open, and so is Demin?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yan: "Then, could it be that Demin and the priest were frightened not because of their health..."

Nande thought for a while: "Hearing what you said, I think it's possible, because the priest's eyes were wide open, as if he saw something terrible, very similar to Demin's expression. If there is something strange That's all that's weird. I can't think of anything else that's weird."

Zhu Yan: "Did any outsiders come to the village recently?
"No, Aji and A Miao came here last month, and you have come today, and no outsiders have come here."
