Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1206 Acquaintance?

Han Li drove for half an hour and finally arrived at the monastery that Eleanor Nixon mentioned.

The parking lot is a large square. Judging from the scale of the existing buildings and the area they occupy, this monastery must have been glorious in the past.

Directly opposite the square is a typical Gothic church with its towering spires, complex flying buttresses and extensive carved decorations.

However, due to lack of maintenance, the church in front has lost a lot of its luster.

Han Li parked the car and walked through the narrow front corridor to the nave of the church. It was a large hall where an elderly nun was cleaning.

When the old nun saw Han Li, she put down the tools in her hands, clasped her hands together, lowered her head and closed her eyes, spread out her right hand, put her five fingers together, pointed at her forehead, chest, left shoulder sockets, and right shoulder sockets with her middle fingers, then bowed at a 30-degree angle and said.

"Sir, are you here to listen to the Lord's teachings?"

After hearing this, Han Li did not return the greeting, but silently rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

"Let's not talk about whether or not I have faith. Even if I do, I'd have to be a fool to abandon my own great gods and listen to the teachings of a foreign god whose origins I can't even make up? Isn't this pure insanity?"

Of course Han Li couldn't say these words, so he coughed lightly and spoke.

"Today is not Sunday, so I don't need to disturb the Lord's rest because of me. So there is no need to listen. I heard from a friend that your hospital can give people a sense of the Middle Ages, so I came here specially."

After the old nun finished speaking, her eyes kept wandering around Han Li.

When she saw Han Li's high-end custom-made suit, a smile appeared on her face. When she heard Han Li's words, the smile on her face increased even more.

However, the old nun did not say anything. Instead, she bowed slightly to Han Li, made a gesture of invitation, and took him on a tour of the monastery.

After the two men walked out of the church, the old nun led the way like a tour guide, explaining to Han Li the origin of the monastery and the functions of some of the buildings.

The back of this monastery church is divided into two parts, namely the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. The nuns are arranged in the inner courtyard, while the outer courtyard is where the abbess receives visitors and allows guests to stay overnight.

If the monastery has male priests, they are required to live in the outer courtyard according to regulations.

But now there is no male priest or guests here, only a few half-grown children cleaning.

When they saw the old nun bringing guests, they all bowed and some immediately ran to the next room to prepare tea sets. Only then did Han Li realize that the old nun was actually the abbess of this monastery.

The old nun head only took Han Li for a walk around the outer courtyard. She had no intention of going into the inner court, but instead took him to a room that looked like a small prayer room.

The room was simply decorated. There was a statue of a deity hanging on the front wall, a box on the table below, some religious paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, and only a few sets of tables and chairs.

After the old nun head guided Han Li to sit at one of the tables and chairs, someone came over immediately to pour tea.

After everyone left, the old nun began to introduce.

However, all she said was how difficult it was to run the monastery and how hard it was to raise a dozen children. She didn't mention a word about the medieval style.

Han Li listened patiently at first, but he didn't expect that the old head nun would talk endlessly.

At this time, Han Li was a little suspicious that Eleanor Nixon had lied to him, but then he thought again, it was basically impossible for her to tell lies in that situation where she couldn't get what she wanted.

Han Li was about to interrupt the old nun headmistress's chattering and ask again, but he saw that the woman's eyes were mostly fixed on the box under the statue while she was talking.

Han Li hadn't really paid attention to that box. When he took another look at it, he found that it was exactly the same as the merit boxes in some temples.

At this time, Han Li understood everything. It turned out that the old head nun was waiting for him here without any hesitation.

So Han Li took out a hundred British coins from his pocket, stood up and put them in the merit box.

At this time, the old nun head stood up with a smile, bowed to Han Li again and said.

“May the Lord bless you and bring you peace and happiness, Amen.”

After the old nun finished speaking, she came to a table, took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer, placed them on the table, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Han Li picked up the pieces of paper from the table and took a look. The top one showed a civilian wearing a linen shirt and trousers.

In the middle it says: Fifty dollars, and below the amount there is a line of small print.

This price only allows for one night's accommodation and board in the outer courtyard. The food and drink are the same as those of the people in the monastery, and there are no special treatments.

The second one shows a monk in a black robe with white or red details.

In the middle it says: One hundred (one hundred yuan), and there is also a line of small words below the amount.

This price also only allows for one night's accommodation and board in the outer courtyard, and the food and drink are the same as those of the people in the monastery.

During this period, you are still not allowed to enter the inner court. Whether you can enter and what you encounter after entering depends entirely on your personal ability.

The third one: It depicts a nobleman wearing silk clothes, a cloak, a high-crowned, embroidered hat, and noble badges and jewelry.

In the middle it says: Three hundred yuan. For this price, you can choose any room in the outer court, board and lodging for two nights, and order a small amount of food and drink. During this period, you are still not allowed to enter the inner court, but you can choose a nun to come and pray at home.

The fourth picture: It shows a king wearing a gorgeous floor-length robe, a crown on his head, and various jewels on his body.

In the middle it says: Five hundred yuan. This price also allows you to choose any room in the outer court, with food and lodging for three nights, and you can order a lot of food and drinks.

During this period, you can go to the inner court every day and designate three to five nuns to come and pray.

The fifth picture shows a high-ranking church official wearing a Gothic black and red robe inlaid with various gems, pearls and precious metals, a four-cornered hat on his head and a scepter in his hand.

In the middle it says: One thousand yuan (one thousand yuan), you can choose between the inner court and the outer courtyard.

Room and board are also only for three nights, and you can order whatever you want when eating and drinking.

Whether in the inner court or the outer court, they can receive inspection, guidance, spot checks, and teachings anytime and anywhere.

Han Li sighed in his heart after reading it. He originally thought that the consumption last night was already high enough, but he didn't expect to encounter an even darker one today.

You have to know that if an ordinary person in England can currently earn 40 pounds a week, this person's income is already quite good.

Even if most people accidentally find out about this and the price, they probably wouldn't be willing to spend the money, even for the cheapest civilian package.

This is really the foreign version of the life of luxury and debauchery, but people rely on this to make money to support their families, and for this purpose they even use high-ranking church officials as examples.

But these are none of Han Li's business. He doesn't care about money, so he didn't even consider the first four packages. At this moment, he was thinking about the pros and cons of the fifth package.

Just now Han Li learned from the old nun that there were a total of fifteen nuns living in the inner court of the monastery. Because the monastery was in poor financial condition, the older nuns were sent out to fend for themselves.

Although Han Li hasn't seen the person yet, his age is there.

Even if we pick and choose the generals from among the dwarfs, with an elimination rate of one third, we can at least select ten people out of fifteen.

If calculated in this way, the average consumption per person is only 100 yuan, which is cheaper than the cost of Han Li going to the bar to drink and fish. I wonder if this can be considered a wholesale price with a large quantity discount?

After Han Li made up his mind, he readily took out a thousand yuan and put it on the table and said.

"I really want to experience the fifth kind of life, but I don't have time to stay here for three consecutive days, so I want to start experiencing it now. If there are no special circumstances, I will leave at this time tomorrow."

The old nun head opened her eyes when she heard Han Li's words. After seeing the money on the table, she nodded slightly, but she still didn't say a word in the room.

The old nun head stood up and made a gesture to invite the two to come outside. She first made a sign of the cross on her chest, then turned around and said to Han Li with a smile.

"Sir, please follow me to the inner court. I will give you a brief introduction to the layout and situation inside."

The old nun head took Han Li into the inner court, briefly introduced the purpose of each house, and called everyone out to greet Han Li before leaving.

When she appeared in the outer courtyard again, the gate leading to the inner court was tightly closed. When it opened again, that was when Han Li left.

The next day, Han Li drove away in his RV at around ten o'clock in the morning.

After the old nun sent Han Li away, she cursed in her heart why those people in the inner court were acting like fools today. Even if they were not satisfied, they couldn't let the guests leave alone.

How come they even forgot to attract customers and send them away? If this continues, who would come a second time?

If this continues, the monastery where I have lived all my life will soon close down. It seems that I have been too nice to them recently. If it doesn't work, I will contact the shelter to see if there is any.
The old nun superior came to the inner court with a sullen face and something in her mind. She found that these people were still sleeping, and she became even more angry.

The old nun woke up the person she usually had the best impression of, and after scolding her, she found out what happened yesterday.

This made the old nun headmistress regretful. She was full of regrets about why she left at that time. If she had stayed, maybe she could have a share of the pie and experience it.
But the guest left too quickly. These people must have failed to take good care of him. I don’t know if he will come again in the future.
Han Li had no idea what the old head nun was thinking at the moment. If he had known, he would have definitely kicked her away.

The reason why Han Li stayed here, in addition to feeling the customs of the Middle Ages and experiencing the enjoyment of the nobles at that time, he also wanted to rely on numbers to find a person with talent like He Mi.

Unfortunately, this kind of situation is hard to come by. Yesterday, Han Li went from knocking on doors one by one to exploring, and later he gathered together to fight against the majority with a small number of people.

The expectations were beautiful at the beginning, and they were different, but in the end Han Li still failed to achieve his wish.

Han Li drove his RV back to St. Andrews and checked out of the hotel. He bought a lot of sanitary napkins and some foreign liquor on the street and left the hometown of golf.

Because the road was in good condition, Han Li was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He stepped on the accelerator and arrived at Edingbao in the evening of the same day.

Han Li still chose the same hotel he stayed in last time because of its quality and service.

But what Han Li didn't expect was that when he was checking in, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Dear Han, I finally waited for you."

Han Li followed the voice and saw Vivian Richards, who had Celtic ancestry, red hair, and a very white complexion without any blue spots or freckles.

Han Li: "Hi Vivilla, what a coincidence, I just met you when I got here today."

Vivilla: "It's not a coincidence at all, but I know that if you come to Edinburgh, you will definitely stay here, so I will come here to take a look when I have time recently."
