Gu Nianzhi checked the bathroom carefully to make sure there was nothing that shouldn't be there. Just as he was about to take off his clothes and take a shower, he heard a knock on the door from outside.
Gu Nianzhi thought that it was the fat nun who had come to deliver clothes, so she hurriedly covered herself with clothes and walked over to open the door.
It turned out to be her, holding some clothes in her hands. She looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile and said, "These are my old nun uniforms, and these underwear are new." After thinking about it, he said, "These underwear are new." The underwear is all one size, so you can definitely fit it, but it may be a little too big.”
This nun is so nice!
Gu Nianzhi had a good impression of her. He smiled and shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. The underwear should be looser and more comfortable."
Taking the clothes from the fat nun's hand, Gu Nianzhi greeted her, "...what's your name?"
"My name is Josephine, what's yours?"
"I... I am Cereus." Gu Nianzhi still only said his English name.
Josephine had no doubts at all and smiled and waved to her: "Well, good night, Cereus."
Gu Nianzhi also said good night to her, saw that she had gone back to her room, and then gently closed the door.
She walked into the bathroom holding the clothes Josephine had just brought for her, which was a small vest and a pair of small underwear.
Gu Nianzhi decided to take a good bath and wash her hair to wash away the mud of the past few days.
In the past few days, I have been rubbing in the mud, climbing on trees, and swimming in the river. The smell on my body is weird.
She almost didn't care about the smell of the soap. She didn't care whether it was too alkaline and was bad for the skin. She just started using it in front of the sink, poured water into it to create a lather, and then applied it on her face to wash it off.
After taking off the dirty coat that he had worn for several days, Gu Nianzhi walked into the shower room and began to wash his hair.
After washing, she hand washed her bra and panties with soap.
This soap is indeed very alkaline. After washing it, my body and face felt tight. Gu Nianzhi really wanted to apply moisturizer all over the body.
But there was no skin care product in the room, so Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to forget it.
After washing, she was so sleepy that she fell on the soft four-poster bed and almost fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
…
In the abbess' room of the monastery, the abbess finished reciting a rosary and was about to go to sleep when she suddenly heard the phone ringing in the room.
Who would call her so late
The dean was startled, thought for a while, and then answered the phone.
The signal is not good in the Alps, so mobile phones are basically useless here. Unless you can use the Copernicus satellite navigation system, it is not affordable for ordinary people.
Needless to say, it is a small monastery, so they still use a very old landline phone here.
"Who are you?" the dean asked politely.
There was a slight pause, and the German he spoke was a bit rigid, but his grammar was correct. "I am a detective from the Munich Regional Police. We have received news that a fugitive has just escaped into your monastery."
The dean stood up immediately and asked nervously: "What? What do you mean, fugitive?!"
She suddenly thought of the girl whom Josephine had just put in to take shelter from the rain. She looked extremely beautiful, so it turned out that she was really not a good person? !
Someone on the other end of the phone chuckled twice and said, "She's a girl. She's very beautiful. You must have seen her before, right?"
At this point, the other party called again from the police station, and the dean couldn't believe it.
What's more, a suspicious girl did live in their convent just now, and Josephine was kind enough to take her in, and yet she lied!
The dean's face became serious, "She is a fugitive? How did you know she was with us? If you knew, why didn't you come and catch her immediately?"
The woman on the other side of the phone answered patiently: "We have a satellite tracking system and based on her mobile phone signal, we tracked her to your monastery."
"Oh." The dean believed it, nodded, and asked, "What did she commit?"
The other party did not answer directly, but said tactfully: "What crime she committed depends on the court's decision. Our police's task is to arrest her first. We also hope that you will cooperate with us and do us a favor."
After that, he added: "This person is very cunning and suspicious. I hope you won't show off your lies and just hold her steady. Our people are coming to your monastery. We just need to hold her steady for a few hours at night." Our people should arrive early tomorrow morning. Then you can hand her over to our people."
The dean was extremely nervous and kept asking: "Is she so powerful? Will she hurt anyone? Your people need to come quickly! We don't have many people here! And they are all women!"
"Yeah, I got it." The man hung up the phone after saying that.
The dean's mother put down the phone and became even more uneasy.
She got up and walked around the house several times, but she still felt uneasy.
I opened the door and came out to Josephine's room. I saw that she was already asleep, so I had to go back and sit in my room until dawn, and finally came up with a solution.
…
In the morning breakfast is prepared in the monastery kitchen.
There are not many people in the monastery, and there is no dedicated chef. The nuns take turns making breakfast.
As the dean's mother, she has stopped scheduling work for a long time, but today she went out of her way and went to the kitchen in person, saying she would make breakfast for everyone.
The nun who was scheduled to make breakfast today was very happy. After thanking her repeatedly, she went back to sleep.
The dean alone took out flour, eggs and fresh blueberries picked yesterday in the kitchen, planning to bake blueberry bread and blueberry cake.
These two things are her best, and they taste better than those sold in stores and restaurants outside.
…
Maybe it was because he suddenly came to a completely new place that Gu Nianzhi felt a little uncomfortable with his bed.
She slept for the first four hours. After the extreme sleepiness and fatigue passed, she woke up and could no longer sleep.
She remembered that she only slept four or five hours at night in the wilderness a few days ago because she was too nervous and couldn't relax. Even when she was the sleepiest, she couldn't sleep too much.
As soon as her sleepiness was relieved, she woke up.
Sometimes, she also thought that this deep-seated insecurity seemed to be rooted deep in her memory.
Even during the years when she was with Mr. Huo, she was like this in the first one or two years. She could only sleep for three or four hours every night, and she would wake up from nightmares in the early morning.
Huo Shaoheng obeyed the order of the military and became her guardian, but at that time, he was only a 22-year-old young man with no experience in raising children.
And this child is not a toddler. When he cries, he can be hugged, coaxed, and given a candy to turn his tears into laughter.
This child is a 12-year-old girl, half a child, and cannot be held or coaxed, let alone make her laugh out loud with a piece of candy.
Huo Shaoheng had no choice. When she woke up from a nightmare, he would sit quietly on the edge of her bed and pat her shoulders gently, letting her know that he was by her side and there was nothing to be afraid of.
While patting, Gu Nianzhi gradually fell asleep.
She always remembered the morning after waking up from those nightmares. When she opened her eyes, she could always see Huo Shaoheng leaning on the head of her bed, sleeping soundly, with a look of fatigue and heaviness that was inappropriate for his age on his young and handsome face.
Later, her sense of security was really fostered by him, and she stopped crying. It was as if she had grown up overnight, and she no longer made Huo Shaoheng sad.
The longer she stayed with him, the more stable she felt, and she slept longer and longer at night, and later she even stayed in bed...
Seeing that he had gone too far, Huo Shaoheng began to urge her to get up and exercise early every morning with his soldiers.
She often ran ten kilometers cross-country. She was young and frail, and could only run one kilometer at first, then two kilometers, three kilometers, until she could run ten kilometers cross-country.
Because of this, she hates running.
Unconsciously, the bizarre nightmares she had when she was a teenager gradually faded away, replaced by the nightmare of running every morning!
Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and laugh.
She sat up and looked out the window before dawn, her stomach growling, and she was so hungry that her heart was filled with hunger.
I don’t know if there is anything to eat here.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the bathroom to wash up.
After checking that the bra and panties she washed yesterday were all dry, she put on her own bra and panties, and covered them with the nun's uniform given to her by Josephine.
She looked in the mirror and couldn't help but smile.
The airy woman with big eyes and bright smile in the mirror is a fake nun at first glance!
She made a face in the mirror, crossed herself with her right hand on her chest, then quietly opened the door and poked her head out to take a look.
The long corridor was quiet, not a soul was around, everyone was probably still sleeping.
Gu Nianzhi looked at his watch and saw that it was only around four o'clock in the morning. At this time, most people were sleeping most soundly.
She sniffed into the air, and unexpectedly smelled the aroma of baked goods. It seemed to be coming from the other side of the corridor. Was breakfast being made in the kitchen
When you're in the military camp, you usually start making breakfast at this time, and it's similar in the monastery, right
She remembered that monks and nuns all had to do morning classes, so the nuns must be the same
So this is the time to start making breakfast, right
Gu Nianzhi felt even hungrier.
She rubbed her forehead, thinking that she should be more diligent. She was not familiar with the place outside, and only by being diligent could she leave a good impression on others.
She didn't want these nuns to think that she was a lazy person, and she was begging others to take her in, but when she came, she paid for it and asked others to bring her food and drinks. How could she be so embarrassed
Thinking of this, Gu Nianzhi quietly walked towards the direction where the scent was coming from.
She followed the scent to find the location of the kitchen, and saw an elderly, tall, thin nun with a tense face, putting the kneaded dough into the oven.
Each small dough is also dotted with a few juicy blueberries.
Probably making blueberry bread.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly lost his appetite.
She had been eating blueberries in the wild for the past few days and had suffered from excessive stomach acid and nausea. She really couldn't eat anymore.
Gu Nianzhi thought, walked in quietly, and coughed lightly.
Mother Superior turned around and saw a strange-looking nun standing at the door. She frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Then she thought about it, wasn't this the "fugitive" who stayed yesterday? !
The dean's mother became nervous all of a sudden, and unconsciously grasped the flat spoon in her hand.
Gu Nianzhi caught a glimpse of this person's nervous look and felt a little strange, but she didn't show anything on her face. She politely said in English: "Hello, I am Sister Josephine who asked me to stay overnight yesterday. Where are you from?" Bit?"
The dean confirmed her identity and couldn't help but look her up and down.
Although she doesn't like pretty girls, this pretty girl can speak authentic Oxford English and behaves politely. She is not at all like those vicious "fugitives"...
Her impression of her actually got better.
Gu Nianzhi felt a little strange when he saw the elderly nun staring at him with a frown.
She suppressed her strange thoughts and said with a smile, "Are you making breakfast? Can I help you?"
The dean's heart trembled, and she quietly walked a few steps towards the oven, blocking the bread balls she had just put into the oven, and said with a straight face: "No, you go back first." Then she turned around and looked at the oven. , no longer pay attention to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's attitude towards this nun was very strange.
Maybe it was because Josephine had such a good impression on her yesterday that she didn't react to the elderly nun's cold attitude.
He stared blankly at the nun's back at the door, not knowing whether to stay or go away.
Mother Superior faced the oven, took a deep breath, took out a small bottle from the inner pocket of her nun's uniform, and was about to drop a drop into the bread ball, but then subconsciously looked back at the door.
Unexpectedly, the "fugitive" hadn't left yet and was still looking at her at the door!
The dean's mother was flustered for a while. She quickly put her hands behind her back and turned around, saying displeasedly to Gu Nianzhi: "I asked you to go back and wait for breakfast. Why don't you leave?"
Gu Nianzhi blinked and didn't understand why this man was so dissatisfied with him.
She won't live and eat for free, she will definitely pay for it. Are you still worried that she won't be able to pay
Gu Nianzhi always felt that the nuns here should not be such contemptuous people, but she couldn't explain what was going on.
"Excuse me." Gu Nianzhi bent his knees slightly and performed a standard court ceremony.
The dean was shocked and held her hands back even tighter.
Gu Nianzhi said nothing more, smiled silently, turned and left the monastery kitchen.
But she is still hungry...
Gu Nianzhi looked at the carvings above his head and planned to go back and drink more water. If that didn't work, he would go out to find berries to eat.
Taking two steps forward, because the aroma coming from the kitchen was so tempting, Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but think of the things she knew about the kitchen and eating when she was with Huo Shaoheng and the others.
For example, one of Huo Shaoheng's previous training contents was that when performing tasks outside, if you don't see how something is made, don't eat it.
She didn't understand at the time. She once asked Yin Shixiong, "How could you keep staring at how things are made in the kitchen?" Can you still work? Not a chef.
