Chapter 636 - Returning to the Civilized World (2/2)
The nun smiled “That’s ok We are all the Lord’s people The Lord allowed you toin return Aious
Gu Nianzhi also crossed herself quickly and was liking the Lord more than ever She followed the nun inside The first floor of the castle was a hall surrounded by tall stained glass s Because it was very dark outside, she hadn’t been able to see it clearly until she came inside Gu Nianzhi couldn’t look away The nun was very chatty and told her about the history and heritage of the nunnery Noticing her interest in the stained glass ies to all to her They were all of biblical stories including the Virgin Mary giving birth to Jesus Christ Although Gu Nianzhi had heard of it long before, she appeared like she was learning it the first tiot eventhe whole time until she walked Gu Nianzhi to the door of a s about the Bible Opening the door, she said kindly to Gu Nianzhi, “You can stay here tonight”
“Thank you, thank you” Gu Nianzhi nearly bowed, she was truly grateful She didn’t knohat else to say but thanks, having been taken in without question in an unfaue was totally useless Seeing the tall four-poster bed in the rooant sofa, and a small vanity with a desk, Gu Nianzhi could almost cry with happiness She finally had a bed to sleep in! She didn’t have to worry about a beast suddenly attacking her in the night! Gu Nianzhi kept nodding with a smile and decided that if she could escape, she would make sure to donate lots ofto the cake, but how ? She must reward them!
“You’re welcome” The fat nun pointed to a small door inside the room “There’s a bathroom over there, and there’s still solanced at Gu Nianzhi’s discolored, filthy clothes “I also have an unworn habit It was made when I was very thin I can’t fit in it anymore Do you want to wear it?”
A nun’s habit couldn’t be worn by just anyone, and it was especially taboo with Germans, so they refused to wear it Because of this, the nun had asked cautiously Of course, Gu Nianzhi couldn’t care less and nodded vigorously “Thank you so e into” She hesitated and whispered, “Also some underwear… Do you have any here? I can pay for it…”
“Oh yes, we have some, and it is brand new You don’t need to pay for it Our nunnery always buys soes”
Great, so Gu Nianzhi had becoasted but nodded quickly “Thank you”
The fat nun thought Gu Nianzhi was interesting to speak with, and herthe door for Gu Nianzhi, she turned to get a change of clothes for her At the end of the long hallway stood a tall, sliure The fat nun walked closer to see it was the Reverend Mother and quickly said, “Reverend Mother, why are you up?”
“Josephine, who is that?” The Reverend Mother was a woman in her forties or fifties She was very thin and had a wrinkled face However, her eyes were sharp when they assessed people
The fat nun Josephone answered “She’s a passing traveler She got separated froht”
The Reverend Mother frowned and whispered, “Lost? When did she get lost?”
“She said it was today”
“Haha Josephine, she’s lying There’s no way she was only lost for a day if her clothes are that tattered Also, her shoes are very dirty and completely caked with mud She must’ve been on the mountain for several days”
“Oh? Reverend Mother is so a!” The fat nun Josephine appeared very impressed
The tan, slim Reverend Mother merely snorted and walked away as she said, “Let her stay one night, but she must leave tomorrow” The Reverend Mother hated people who asked for help but didn’t tell the truth Also, although the girl wore tattered clothes and appeared filthy, her exquisite little face looked like it had been polished by the Lord his froest jewels on the royal crown She was so beautiful, and the Reverend Mother instinctively knew that such pretty woood people

Gu Nianzhi walked around the roo in the bathroom It was truly a nunnery’s bathroom, simple and robust A black bar of soap and a bottle of handwash sat on the white marble sink In the shoas a white bar of soap and a bottle of shampoo, the kind easily found in German supermarkets But all of this was much too precious for Gu Nianzhi, who had been lost in the wilderness for five days!
