Section 23 Evil Cross
Maybe it’s a feeling of mutual affection between husband and wife. Although Hannah has stood on tiptoe and hardly made a sound, Tina’s eyebrows suddenly twitched during her sleep, and then she opened her eyes and slowly turned her head. So she saw that Hannah was raising her feet and was about to take a step. It was a bit funny to move.
Tina gently chuckled and whispered "Hannah"
"hey!" Like a child secretly carrying out a little secret, Hannah, who was found to be simple and honest, immediately came to the’ bed’ and squatted and held Tina’s slightly warm hand.
"I’m back."
Hannah looked at his wife affectionately and said gently
"Well, hungry? I’ll get up and cook soup for you later. "Four eyes are also full of tenderness and sweetness. Tina looked at her husband and whispered.
"No, no, don’t get up, just lie down in peace." However, when you hear Tina’s words, honest Hanna immediately waved her hand in a panic and resolutely stopped Daojian’s wife from revealing her doubts. Hanna quickly explained that "Shengnv said that you just gave birth and your body will be particularly weak, so don’t catch the wind. Just lie down and rest in peace. I will take care of myself and you will stay with our son."
Hannah’s words shifted her eyes to his wife’s pillow. A baby wrapped in a warm wool blanket was asleep. Her cute round face and skin were delicate and shiny. Her hands were out of her hands, and her mouth and lips were open. She seemed to be dreaming a sweet dream.
The lovely babies who are sleeping are Hannah and Tina. Hannah and Tina haven’t given him a name yet because they can’t read. Hannah is planning when to beg the holy’ daughter’ of the temple for a nice name.
"Well, there were some wild vegetables left in the wheat cake yesterday, so I made myself something to eat in the basket next to the fire stove. I watched you tired after a day’s work." After listening to Hannah’s words, Tina naturally stopped insisting on sweetness in his heart, so he reached out and gently gathered his sleeves and hurried back to Hannah to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Well, I know." It was the first time that Hannah was told by his wife, because he had more important things to say. He took out the cloth bag from his arms with a "shock" on his face, and put it in front of his wife as if it were a gift. The vicissitudes of his face "exposed" a childlike innocent smile.
"Tina, you see, this is my first month’s salary. I directly beg the deacon in charge of food temple to buy it!" Hannah excitedly hit the cloth bag and revealed the contents. "Look at three chicken eggs and a bag of flour! The deacon of the temple is really kind. He not only allowed me to get paid before, but also gave me some weight. The deacon also said that it is much cheaper for me to exchange things directly at the temple salary every month than to buy them outside! "
Listening to Hannah’s excitement, some incoherent words caressed and touched the round and smooth chicken eggs and flax bags, which were completely different from the coarse flour they could eat occasionally. Tina’s eyes suddenly filled with tears. She knew that these were all bought by Hannah and her girls to mend their bodies.
"Hannah" Tina looked at her husband with tears in her eyes. She didn’t know how to show her heart except calling his name.
"Good good cry? Our day is getting better day by day. What is there to cry about? " Hannah smiled and reached out and stroked his wife’s cheek. "We should feel’ excited’ by the gods. They brought us hope that I was ashamed of not believing in the gods myself. I hope Tina, you will praise the gods with me. After Hera, the great god of war, gave us a home, and will train them into loyal warriors. The god Hessia and Dionysus gave us life and food to make us self-reliant. Zeus gave us equality and freedom. After that, we can stand up. I will firmly remember the great gods’ names and I will praise them all my life! "
Listening to her husband’s solemn and solemn praise, Tina also silently praised those gods who have been widely used in slums. She knew that everything in front of her was changed because of the protection of these kind and kind gods, and the gods gave them a new life
The couple in the bright hut praised the Pantheon gods devoutly and woke themselves up and never forgot this kindness for a long time before they opened their eyes.
"Hannah heard from her neighbors that Athena Temple is willing to educate every slum child. Is this true?" Tina suddenly remembered what look quite eagerly asked.
Hannah smiled. He nodded and said in a positive tone, "It’s true, Tina. When I was working in the temple, I heard the deacons talk about that the Governor’s Office issued a new decree to set up an official school in Alexandria in the name of Athena, the god of wisdom. All children over one year old can receive basic education there, and they can learn to read, write, calculate and so on. I can’t remember anything else."
Tina’s smell speech suddenly opened her eyes wide and her face was incredibly low. It is no wonder that she was so shocked. In ancient society, knowledge was always monopolized by the rulers, and only the national aristocracy was qualified to learn. In the eyes of the rulers, it was far better for civilians to be ignorant than too clever. From slave society to the end of feudal society, there was never any real education for civilians, even for’ private’ education. China, which is famous for its well-developed imperial examinations, has actually received education, but it is still only the "Mao" of the huge population base. It can be imagined that when an education system that breaks the class restrictions and truly benefits all people appears, it will be a great boon to ordinary people in a country.
Just as at the moment, Tina’s heart is full of gratitude and happiness, in fact, even though knowledge has changed her destiny for thousands of years, the proposition has never changed. When Tina confirmed from Hannah that all this was true, she couldn’t help but look forward to her children’s future, and at the same time, her simple thoughts made them feel passionate and grateful for these Rome.
They don’t know that Rome is facing a historical change, but they can really feel the tangible benefits brought by these changes.
Farmers have their own land, all the multiple tax corvees have been reduced and customized, and all the unnecessary miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled; Businessmen have gained the freedom of business and gradually become rich, and the people have also developed the material foundation healthily in the true meaning of business; Soldiers’ responsibility has been ensured. They defend their country and enjoy heroic treatment at the same time. Officials, who are democratically selected from "elite" Britain and China, must strictly abide by the law and accept democratic supervision while having power.
And these still seem far away for Hannah, who was a slave. He got very little but precious. He was free! All black people, pariahs and runaway slaves have been recognized by Rome. They are no longer a member of the glorious Roman citizens. Hannah is no longer worried about being arrested or being abused, beaten or killed at will, because he is also protected by Rome. He can have his own work home and his children can join the temple for education. In the near future, he can even vote for himself in the democratic elections in the slum area and find a community protector who can represent the interests of the poor!
This is everything brought about by change. There is no earth-shattering upheaval, and all social injustices are quietly disappearing in the refinement of things.
"There’s a grand ceremony in Tina Night Temple, and I have to temporarily process it, so I may not be able to come back late." Immersed in the topic just now, the husband and wife talked in a warm language, and Hannah suddenly remembered the tone of the deacon’s "hand in" before leaving and said apologetically.
"No baby and I can take care of ourselves." Tina hugged the baby in the arms of the building with a flush of health and happiness. "Hannah has to work hard to repay the temple. We have nothing to repay the great gods except sweat and blessings."
Hannah nodded gravely.
Couples crouched in front of a bed, chatting with each other about Hannah’s strange experiences in the temple one day. Before you know it, Hanna was reluctant to go. Hanna kissed his wife and son on the cheek, got up and "got" some simple food for himself and then hurried to the temple.
However, just as Hannah packed up and hit the’ door’ and went out accurately, an accident had already happened to him.
"You, who are you? ！”
Hannah’s face "dew" looked at the "door" in fear, and several black men stammered like ghosts.
Several men’s faces are like stiff sculptures. They first look at Hannah and then whisper to each other as if they were confirming something. In a second, they rushed straight over without saying a word.
I don’t know what happened. Hannah retreated awkwardly and was immediately held down by several black-robed men trying to shout. However, a black-robed man quickly stuffed a rag into his mouth and blocked his voice. Unfortunately, the black-robed men were as firm as iron hoops and cocked their necks to try to figure out what happened. Hannah struggled desperately for a second because he saw two black-robed men break into his house and dragged his wife’s hair out soon, while another man actually held his own son in his hand.
At this moment, Hannah burst into anger, burning all the people in black to ashes. He tried his best to break away from everything he could bear, but he never got hurt by his love. However, after all, he was alone, and he was greeted by a fierce punching and kicking by the people in black. Hannah was already bleeding and scarred. He tried his best to open his eyes and finally realized that his wife and children were taken away by the people in black.
Hannah was desperate. He didn’t even know who these people were, and he didn’t know why they were doing this. He fell to the ground and wept bitterly!
Maybe at that moment, the gods really cared for Hannah. Just a second before Hannah’s consciousness sank into darkness, he saw his wife Tina caught by the black man and accidentally pulled the collar of one of the black men with a touch of silver’ color’ light shining in Hannah’s pupil, which gradually lost focus.
That’s a silver cross!

Section 24 Trial and Redemption
Tina struggled desperately all the way with frightened eyes. However, after all, she was just a "woman". She was so weak in the hands of those powerful black people who caught her. She could watch her favorite husband Hannah fall with blood all over her face in the punching and kicking, her children were carried in her hands by a black man without any pity, and the home she and her husband worked so hard to build was burned by the black man!
Tina cried her eyes red and swollen until she wept. She tried pleading and cursing, but those black people were completely indifferent. They were like sculptures without feelings and never said a word.
At that moment, Tina was desperate! From the heart, she lost her sense of everything. She hung her head and lost herself in the blazing fire, and then she fell into darkness and didn’t know anything.
When she woke up again, she was already in a strange place, cold, scary and dark, just like her mood. However, I don’t know that she didn’t scream hysterically or struggle, but quietly looked around.
So she saw a cross.
A tall cross stood in front of her, and a dim light shone from the top of her head sealed her cross at both ends of the light and darkness. She could see the ambiguous crucifixion sculpture of St. Christ on the opposite side through the mercerization, and felt that the black cross seemed to be solemn and oppressive from the sky, so as to get rid of suffocation.
Tina’s thinking has been disturbed by a series of blows. However, after all, she still has a little sense of consciousness. Seeing the cross made her suddenly understand what happened. Maybe it had something to do with the mighty God, so she naturally cried out subconsciously. She didn’t know exactly what the shouting was. She knew that in this thick darkness, maybe there was such a way to make her less afraid and sad.
Fortunately, the silence and darkness didn’t respond to her cry. Just for a moment, footsteps started in the darkness, and they walked slowly, but the reverberation was so thrilling.
Tina opened her eyes wide and finally she saw the bearer by a ray of light.
It was a priest dressed in a black robe with low eyebrows and plain appearance. He walked slowly into the only light in the darkness with a Bible in his hand and a silver cross necklace around his neck, and then looked up and stared at Tina with deep eyes.
At the moment of eye contact, Tina plunged into the center of the earth, because she saw something in her eyes that showed too much emotion. She knew that her fate might be in the hands of this priest.
However, she doesn’t know what all this is.
"What? ! What want to arrest me and my children? What want to beat my husband? What want to burn down my house? ！” Suddenly, all the unwillingness and anger melted into tears, and Tina roared at the priest.
"Because you are a sinner!"
In the face of Tina’s tears and anger, the bald priest didn’t make a "shock" reaction. He looked at Tina’s eyes very flatly and actually showed a kind of compassion and severe "communication" and said airily.
