"Why are you back again, didn't you say that the monastery is not for outsiders to visit?" said Mama Sandra, looking at the two people outside the door, and frowned.

Luo Luo hurriedly explained, "Actually, we didn't come to visit, but wanted to go in and see someone." ”

"Who do you want to see?"

"Avril, I'm her distant cousin and the only one of her living relatives, this is my ...... Well, husband. ”

"Avril's relatives?" said Sandra, half-convinced, "how come I've never heard her talk about it." ”

"We used to live far away, and we only met once on her sixth birthday, and I had only recently heard of the misfortune that had happened in her family, and when I found there, I heard that she had been adopted by your convent, so I rushed over. ”

"Wait a minute, don't go away, I'll be back soon." ”

After saying this, she hurried into the church behind her, Rob and Lolo could vaguely see what she was talking to another grandmother in the church through the iron bar, and pointed in their direction, and after a while Avril was also led by a nun, who nodded at first to the two grandmothers, then shook her head, and finally hesitated, and nodded again. Mama Sanders touched her head, and in less than a quarter of an hour she was back in front of the iron door, "What are you going to do?"

"Huh?"

"That child, did you come all the way to pick her up and live with her?"

"Oh, I'm honestly not sure yet, don't get me wrong, we do have the same blood in our bodies, but the last time we saw each other was eight years ago, and I have little memory of her after such a long time, and you know, accepting a new member in the family is not as simple as it is lip service, so I came over with my husband to see her first. ”

Luo Luo's answer was very "sincere", but it made Mama Sanders believe a little more in her heart, she nodded, "So you didn't want to reveal your identity before, did you plan to observe her in the dark first, and if you think it's not appropriate, just leave?"

"You've seen through it. Rob's husband smiled awkwardly.

This kind of thing is also human nature, not incomprehensible. Sandra's face softened a little, "But rules are rules, I can't let you in without proving your identity, so just now I found Avril with the dean and checked with her, but then Avril also knows your identity, and I will arrange for her to meet with you later, and get to know each other, if it's really not suitable, don't force it, I just hope you can be tactful when you refuse her." ”

"Definitely. Luo Luo nodded, "She's my cousin anyway. ”

Mama Sandra unlocked the door and invited the two of them in, first to meet the abbot of the monastery, Mama Rosamund, and then the four of them went together to the reception room of the monastery.

Mama Rosamund grasped the doorknob of the reception room, and her body paused slightly, but she did not immediately push the door open, and said, "There is something I must tell you first. ”

Luo Luo's eyelids jumped, and she thought that something had changed, the two of them were now disguised, not their original faces, Rob had just quietly confirmed that Mama Rosamund was just an ordinary person, and the girl didn't know where the two of them showed their feet, but now she could only bite the bullet and say, "What's the matter?"

"Avril is a little bit of a special girl. Mama Rosamund hesitated and spoke, "Of course, each of us is unique in a philosophical and religious sense, but Avril is still the most special of all the children in the convent. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the past week she had missed three morning classes, she had not done any of the work assigned to her, and she had made a nun cry at the head of their daily routine, but don't get me wrong, the nature of the child was not bad, she was just not very used to the life of the monastery, and no matter who she was, one day she would receive the grace of God, just sooner or later. Mama Rosamund made a gesture on her chest, "I've been hesitant to tell you these things, because I know the kid wants to get out of here, and I'm afraid that telling you this will make you have a bad impression before you see her, but if you don't tell you, you're deceiving you, and it's better to tell the truth, Avril is a good girl, brave, smart, and if you have the opportunity to live together, you'll see the good things in her." ”

Rob and Lolo thanked each other, Mama Rosamund pushed the door into the house, the five of them chatted for a while, the atmosphere was not bad, seeing the time and place, and the details of the first meeting could be correct, the two grandmothers found an excuse to leave, leaving space for the three people who "reunited after a long absence".

Avril put her ear to the door, heard the footsteps fade away, and said, "It is done, you can do whatever you want, you can go out of the window, and there is a small garden below, opposite the garden is the dormitory, to the north is the church, and to the west is where we work." ”

"Aren't you worried that we'll be bad for the Abbey?"

"I'm leaving, how can I care so much. Avril picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and rubbed it on her clothes, snapped and took a bite, then saw Luo Luo's gaze at her, rolled her eyes, and had to say, "Please, you don't think I haven't thought about this problem, this place has no self-protection at all, if you really have any bad intentions, the iron door can't stop you." ”

Luo Luo shook his head, "We won't hurt the people in the monastery, we just came here this time to check on something, and we don't want to alarm others, so we chose this method, by the way, how long have you been here?"

Avril sat down on the sofa, "Six years, five months and nineteen days, I've had enough, what do you think I'm going to do first thing when I go out? I heard that there is a grilled fish in the north of the city that is delicious, and Alan ate it with Mama Sanders last time, and she came back and said for a long time, I still want to see the sea, well, it seems that it is not bad to be a pirate for the rest of my life." ”

"You're only fourteen years old, and you haven't finished the first half of your life, and believe me, you can't even stay in a monastery, and it's impossible to keep a boat on the sea. Luo Luo raised his eyebrows, "You've lived here for so long, you should be familiar with the people here, have there been any people around you who have suddenly disappeared over the years?"

"Yes, I'm not going to disappear suddenly. Avril grinned.
