Seriously, if Ron were a woman and had awakened supernatural abilities, preferably useless ones, he would have wanted to come here to be a nun, living in this paradise where the only threat was the volcanic lava underground, and this kind of life was a dream life for him who had experienced many hardships and dangers.

He looked around as he ate, and got a general idea of how the monastery worked.

The most important thing is geothermal energy.

Underground lava is a potential threat, but without lava activity, there would be no such paradise.

The snow water on the mountain is melted by geothermal heat, seeps into the soil, and gathers along the ravines and ravines inside the mountain during previous volcanic eruptions, and then gushes out of the surface in the form of hot springs.

The water from the hot springs evaporates and rises into the air through the crater overhead, where it is condensed by the cold air and turns into droplets of water, and when it approaches the ground, it turns into snowflakes, creating a circulation of water.

When the nuns entered the monastery, he noticed that there were lights in the monastery, as well as flashlights and emergency lights held by the nuns, indicating that there was a power source, perhaps a geothermal generator unit buried under the monastery that used hot water and steam to generate electricity.

It is impossible to have a TV signal or a cell phone signal here, but as long as there is electricity, there is no problem with the minimum livelihood support.

Looking up, there is a feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky, the four walls of the crater are like cones, the area of the gap at the top is less than one-fifth of the area at the bottom, and the water vapor is abundant, the top of the mountain is always covered with clouds and mist, even if you look down with a satellite, I am afraid you can't see that there is anything else inside the crater.

At noon, the sun shines directly above the crater, enveloping the central monastery in a white and dazzling light, forming a strong chiaroscuro contrast with the surroundings, and the cross at the top of the monastery sparkles in the sunlight, and the melodious bells resound back and forth, almost as if the gods are about to come to earth.

Just seeing this scene, Ron's heart unconsciously felt a sense of awe, if a devout believer was here, he would definitely kneel on the spot.

The altitude is a problem, although in the middle of the mountain, the actual altitude is not more than 5,000 meters, but more than 4,000 meters is always there, Ron's breathing is much heavier than the foot of the mountain, but the nuns seem to have adapted to such a high altitude, no matter how weak they look, they will not breathe all the way.

After eating, Ron and Gavin continued to wait.

The nuns had been in for almost an hour, and Ron was bored and afraid to move around, so he had to pick up a branch and play a game with Gavin about losing the branch and bringing it back.

Suddenly, the doors of the convent opened, and several nuns streamed out, including Arabella.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, we've been talking a bit long. Arabella said.

"It doesn't matter, I can wait as long as I want. Ron glanced quietly at the door of the abbey, and he had expected that the shepherd they were talking about would also come out, but it didn't seem to be.

The sisters were very concerned about the safety of Catherine and the other five sisters, and everyone took the initiative to ask Yingxiang to go to the East to find them, and thoroughly find out the truth about the air crash, if it was man-made, the murderer must be severely punished. Arabella said.

"It should. Ron nodded.

She continued: "But the head of the house, considering that it is not under the jurisdiction of the monastery, and that going to too many sisters at once may be suspected of taking the lead and causing misunderstanding among the local transcendent organizations, finally decided to send me alone to inquire about the specific situation—since the plane crash has happened, if Catherine and the others were not killed in the plane crash, their strength should be enough to protect themselves, otherwise, ......."

Ron hesitated, "I understand, but ......"

A girl as pure and pitiful as Arabella will arouse the desire of most people to protect and worry about her safety, after all, she is blind and it is really reassuring to go away alone.

"It's okay, I can't see, but I have a good ear and I can hear the reflection of sounds, so I can sketch out the terrain around me in my mind - including the silhouettes of you and Gavin, I know a rough idea. ”

As she spoke, she bent down slightly and patted Gavin's head gently, "Good dog." ”

She didn't reach out to find the location of Gavin's head, but as if she knew where Gavin's head was, she directly touched the correct position.

Gavin didn't like to be touched by anyone other than Ron, but when he was touched by her, he didn't resist at all, but narrowed his eyes as if he was enjoying it.

"Don't get me wrong, this isn't unique to me, and some other blind people have been able to use echoes to avoid obstacles to some extent. She pointed to somewhere in her head, "It's said that blindness activates an area of our brain, but I'd rather explain it in that sentence - God closes a door for you, and he opens a window for you." When I was going up the mountain just now, I talked to you from time to time, firstly, I wanted to know more, and secondly, I used my own voice to identify the road conditions. ”

Ron was amazed to hear this, and if that was the case, it would explain Arabella's calmness as she walked the mountain road.

But even so, echolocation may have limits, for example, she is unlikely to know whether a bill handed by someone is a five-yuan or ten-dollar face, and she does not know whether the traffic light at a temporarily empty intersection is red or green, so it is still not very convenient to travel.

"My sisters would take me down the mountain and take me to a nearby town. Ron, didn't you just say that the news mentioned that the families of the passengers should contact the airline, so as soon as I contacted the airline, they should have arranged the rest and sent me to the East. ”

Arabella had clearly thought it through, and her arrangement sounded fine.

"But what will you do when you get to the East?" he asked.

"Then we will have to talk about it then. Arabella smiled, "I believe most of the people in this world are good people who are willing to help. ”

A nun handed over the blindfold.

"Ron, come down the mountain with us, thank you for coming all the way to provide information, we have nothing to repay but pray for you. Arabella said.

Ron knew it was time to leave, and the day's experience felt like a dream.

"Uh...... Actually, you don't need to thank you, there is another reason why I came here, I just heard about the plane crash by chance. Ron told the truth.

"Oh, what else?"

Ron talks about his companion's frightening madness, and his companion's poor family makes his companion's wife and daughter tear up every day.

"So, that's what I'm here for, I'm not as selfless as you think, I'm here to report to you, and you don't have to thank me, if you have a way to heal my companions, we're willing to pay whatever it takes. Ron pleaded earnestly.

He didn't know who had touched his forehead the previous night, and it had relieved his headache and made his sudden illness subside, which gave him a boost of confidence, and he had been wondering how to speak while he had been waiting.

When Arabella heard this, she nodded approvingly, saying, "There is no greater love for a man than this, and a man lays down his life for his friends." ”

Ron was stunned when he heard this, the grammar of this sentence was a little strange.

John 15:13. Arabella explained: "You have traveled long distances to climb snow-capped mountains for the sake of friends you don't know very well, and God will not forsake those who have shown affection to your friends, and it must have been this that caused you to suddenly fall ill and lead you to meet us." ”

Ron didn't quite understand, but from her words, he could vaguely hear that she meant as if they had the power to cure his companion's madness.

Arabella said, "I may be able to recover your friend, but I don't have time to take a break at the moment, and since your friend's condition is stable for the time being, can I wait until I return from the East to treat your friend?"

"Of course!" Ron nodded as if he was afraid she would regret it.

As long as they were willing to help, nothing else mattered, and as she said, the condition of his companions would not change significantly anytime soon, while Catherine's affairs were more urgent, saving people like fire.

"Please leave your friend's contact information and address, and when I return from the East, I will rush to treat him as soon as I return. Arabella said.

Ron had a bold idea in his heart, hesitated a little, and plucked up the courage to say, "Sister Arabella, can I go with you to the East?" I saw on the TV news that the plane crashed in a forest, and I am familiar with the state of the forest, and if I need to find Catherine and them, maybe I can help. ”

With that, he kneading his cowboy hat nervously, waiting for Arabella's response.

He made this request because he couldn't feel at ease that Arabella was going to the East alone, because he had been through so much and he was curious about the East and the world of the Transcendent, and third, because he really thought he might be able to help.

Arabella said happily: "Of course it is good, but won't it delay your life and work?"

To get her approval, Ron was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, my life and work is hunting, and now it is the season for animals in the forest to give birth, and many areas have entered the hunting ban period. ”

Arabella gave a look of surprise, "In that case, I thank you for myself and Catherine." ”

"No, it's me who should be thanked, thank you for curing my illness, and thank you for your willingness to lend a helping hand to my companions. ”

In Ron's mind, Arabella is undoubtedly an angel, and if Catherine is an avenging angel, her sister Arabella should be an angel of salvation.

Arabella smiled and shook her head, "No, you misunderstood, it wasn't me who treated you, it was another sister, I don't have the ability to treat you, if your friend is physically injured, I can't help - I'm good at treating mental 'injuries', doing my best to heal people's wounded hearts, your friend's fright should be in this category, but only when I actually contact him, can I make up my mind." ”

Ron understood, no wonder she could free him and the nuns from negative emotions with a word or two, her abilities really matched her temperament, and it was a pleasure to listen to her.

He smiled sheepishly, "Then I must say thank you to the nun who healed me." ”

"I will, please wait a little longer, I'll go back and get my things ready and I'll leave right away." ”

Arabella and several nuns returned to the monastery, and after about ten minutes, Arabella walked out of the monastery surrounded by a group of nuns, carrying a simple cloth bag.

It can be seen that everyone is very reluctant to let her go, especially those young nuns, holding her waist and thighs reluctantly, but everyone also knows that someone must find Catherine and them, and Arabella, who is Catherine's own sister, is the most suitable person.

"Let's all go back, rest assured, as long as Catherine and her sisters survive the plane crash, I will bring them back safely. Arabella lovingly stroked the heads of the young nuns and said to everyone.

"Arabella, you have to be careful, too!"

"Woo~ Arabella, you have to bring them back early!"

"Arabella ......"

Arabella smiled and responded to each one by one, showing no impatience until everyone's cries were met, and everyone let go of their grip on her clothes.

"It's been a long wait, let's go. ”

Several other nuns were in charge of escorting Arabella and Ron down the mountain, and Ron put on a blindfold and was once again dragged into the cave by a stick, this time all the way down.

Walking out of the cave, Ron took off his blindfold and saw the majestic mountains and snow again, and the cold wind on his face made him wrap his clothes tightly, and what he had just seen and heard seemed like a world away.

On the way down the mountain, he paid more attention, and sure enough, he saw that Arabella always spoke in the difficult terrain, either to her sisters or to ask him about something, probably to locate the obstacles under his feet by the echo of his words.

At the foot of the mountain, Ron took the nuns to visit Sergei and his wife, spent the night and borrowed a car from Sergei, and the next day they took a ride to the nearest town, where they saw Arabella, who was beautiful and unremarkable, but blind, and had no doubt that she was an angel on the snowy mountain.

Once in town, Arabella got in touch with the airline, explaining that she was the sister of one of the passengers on the plane, and that she was blind and had difficulty moving alone, and asked if she could bring a friend and a dog with her.

The airline knew that it was about to face a large number of lawsuits and huge claims, and for the passengers' families to be treated as if they were grandfathers, they did not dare to offend, thinking that the dog was her guide dog, and agreed to her request, and immediately arranged a special car to pick her and Ron, and arranged a special plane for them to fly to the East.
