Wang Dahu, the commander of the garrison stationed in Xianning City, led his army to break into the Eden Middle School, a church school, and savagely captured the student Xiao Xiaohan even though the teacher stopped him.

At that time, the head teacher Guan Xueman reported the situation to the school trustee Chen Dong, who reported the report to the church in the city, and the church immediately reported the infringement of foreign religious activities to Mei Lijian and the minister in charge of religion at the British Consulate in Beijing.

In fact, this was a difficult problem for the consuls, because China was in a state of anarchy in those years, and no one could take care of such affairs that violated the clerical authority.

After consultations, the consuls of the two countries finally decided to improve the Christian establishment in Xianning City, and asked the public welfare departments of the two countries to raise funds to expand the scale of the original church in Xianning City and establish a monastery branch.

This measure was taken into account that, despite the anarchy of China, its various armies would not easily offend foreigners, and therefore the establishment of a whole church organization would make the church a real presence in the eyes of the public, and would it still be ignored at that time?

Needless to say, the establishment of a monastery alone required the transfer of administrators and nuns from the existing monasteries in the capital.

This news has already spread in several monasteries.

When the named nun Sha Lili learned the news, the first batch of nuns to be sent to Xianning had been confirmed, and of course there was no her.

She wanted to leave Beijing for a long time and return to her hometown Xianning, but because the capital was under full martial law in order to search for the school flower killer of Sanji Company in the early stage, she couldn't leave the city, so she had to be a nun temporarily. Now that there is a chance to go home, and the rebels defending the city do not dare to search for the church people easily, how can they be willing to give up such a good opportunity?

Thinking that the matter of transferring personnel would be up to the abbot, he hurried to see the abbot and earnestly asked for her to be assigned to the Xianning Monastery.

The dean then said:

"I thought you weren't an official nun yet, but when the new Xianning Monastery was first built, the conditions were much worse than those in the capital, and it was possible to go without food for three days or two. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to endure that hardship, so I didn't arrange for you to go. Now that you are determined to go, you are loyal to God, so you will be fulfilled and hope to cultivate seriously in that difficult environment, and strive to become a disciple of Jesus as soon as possible. ”

In this way, Shalily got her wish, packed her bags, and prepared to set off with the nuns on another day.

In Xianning, to the left of Eden Secondary School is the British Church, and the newly built convent is to the right of the secondary school. Two ecclesiastical institutions sheltered Eden Middle School in their arms.

Soon, the charities of the two countries remitted a considerable amount of money to the Chinese Church, and with the money everything was easy to do, and the original church was expanded in Xianning, and at the same time the monastery was built according to the design drawings.

Two months passed, the construction of the Xianning Monastery was completed, and after the improvement of the internal ministry, the nuns could live in.

Sha Lili came to Xianning from the capital along with the first batch of nuns who lived in the Xianning Monastery.

The nuns entered the newly built monastery, bowed to the Lord Jesus, and then performed the necessary inauguration ceremonies, and then officially moved into the monastery.

Concerned about her family, Sha Lili took a leave of absence from the new dean's mother and happily returned to her long-lost home.

Sha Lili's home is also Sha Lin's home.

The family of the jewelry merchant is a front shop and back factory structure, occupying a large area in the center of Xianning.

The front store is a two-story building, with a wide sales hall on the first floor, and the shelves are full of all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, pearls, agate, coral, jade, jade, diamonds, and many antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

On the second floor is the accounting room, the security room, and the general manager's office. Usually Shalene's mother and aunt manage the business here.

There is a main building in the compound, with a total of four floors, which is the residence of the Sha family.

On the first floor, there is a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom, and a master's study.

On the second floor was the bedroom for Shalene's mother and father, and in the other room lived the gypsy aunt.

On the third floor lived Sha Lin, Sha Lin's two brothers, and Sha Lili.

On each side of the main building there is a long chamber that houses the processing and polishing of jewelry.

At night, the vast courtyard of the Sha family begins to fall silent, the large windows of the shops are brightly lit, and two security guards patrol every night, always accompanied by two vicious Tibetan mastiffs.

This is Charlene's home, a wealthy family......

On this day, when Shalene came home from school, she felt like something had changed.

As she walked up to the third floor and was about to enter her room, a girl dressed as a nun appeared in front of her.

Despite being dressed as a nun, how could the familiar face under the turban escape the eyes of the clever little girl Shalene?

"Hey, my dear sister, how did you become a nun?" haha, let me take a good look, sister, you're getting more and more beautiful!" said Charlene, pulling Lily to her room.

Sha Lili's return home this time also made the rest of the family feel strange, how did she go to the capital to study in the monastery?

Shalily's gypsy mom is understanding of her daughter. Although the Gypsies are a wandering people, with a warm, fiery personality and a good nature of singing and dancing, most of them also believe in religion, and they believe in a more mixed religion, more in Buddhism, in addition, they believe in Islam, and less in Christianity such as God and Orthodoxy.

Anyway, it's good that my daughter can come home and have a look. The official wife of the Sha family, Sha Lin's mother-in-law instructed the kitchen to cook a big meal to welcome her daughter who had returned from a long journey.

The two mothers naturally asked why Lily joined the monastery, and Shalily told them that due to the rebellion of the northern warlords, the schools in the capital could not be held normally, and the rebels often killed innocent people, because the people who joined the church were relatively safer, so they entered the convent and became named nuns. Of course, before becoming a full-fledged nun, they are free to come and go.

Of course, the two mothers wanted their daughter to leave the monastery and continue her studies, but it was difficult to say it at the time.

Now that the younger sister Shalene asked her sister this question, Lily thought that Shalene, a clever and perceptive little girl, would have a very difficult time hiding something from her, and she would definitely get to the bottom of it, and as far as the intimacy between the sisters was concerned, it was unbearable to hide anything too much, but the necessary secrets had to be handled safely.

First of all, he had to make three chapters of the covenant, and then he said to Sharin:

"If you don't say it, you will also guess that my sister is helpless to become a nun. If I tell you the truth that I didn't tell my mother, you must keep it a complete secret, because my mothers will worry about me if they know about it, and if others know about it, they will be in danger of leaking the secret. ”

Sha Lin had already guessed the seven or eight in her heart, so she solemnly promised her sister that she would definitely be able to keep it secret for her sister.

So after they had dinner and the two of them were resting in Shalin's bed together, Lily quietly told her little sister Shalene some of her experiences at the national high school......
