Chapter 250

Shi Jingyi led Shi Qiao’er and the girls to cut the potatoes into cubes, roll them in grass ash, and bury them in the loosened field. This was the ration they had saved from their mouths, and although the quantity was small, the potatoes and sweet potatoes could be planted to harvest more food next year.

Zhu Yuyan went to look for Shi Jingyi, but saw that although the chapel door was unlocked, there was no one inside. She went to the field and stood on the ridge and saw Shi Qiao’er squatting in the field, moving step by step without stopping the movement of her hands and feet, which made people admire her.

She admired Shi Qiao’er’s transformation, and she also admired Shi Jingyi’s use of machinery and heavy labor to change them.

She beckoned Shi Jingyi over.

Shi Jingyi’s nun’s uniform was covered with dirt, but the black color was resistant to dirt.

As soon as she came over, she asked Zhu Yuyan, “Is the school closing?”

Zhu Yuyan: “…… Did you guess?”

Shi Jingyi nodded: “The food is getting less and less, if we don’t close it down, we will all starve to death together, I guess the principal and professors must have been discussing this matter for a long time.”

Zhu Yuyan really admired this sister, “Then do you know why I came to see you?”

Shi Jingyi sighed, “Yes. I’ve been writing to the convents in Tianjin and Beijing lately, trying to find someone to receive us, but there’s been no reply.”

Although they were both serving God, priests and nuns usually did not practice together. After all, like other religions, those who dedicate themselves to the religion are expected to give up the love of men and women and to devote themselves wholeheartedly.

The exception was the Japanese monks.

When Shi Jingyi first studied theology, she relied on a priest, but now that she was looking for a place to receive her and Shi Qiao’er, a group of novice nuns, she couldn’t ask the priest to receive them; the most the priest could do was to help her find a receiving unit. After all, there is a difference between men and women.

But in this world, communication is especially inconvenient, and the environment is also relatively turbulent. There are supposed to be convents in Tianjin and Beijing, but in this situation, no one is sure if they are still there and if there are still nuns in them.

If there is no place to receive them, once the school is closed, Shi Jingyi and Shi Qiao’er will have no place to go.

Of course, it was possible to leave them behind. Even if the food was scarce, it was not really impossible to feed seven or eight more people if we saved them. However, there is no such thing as a last resort, and one should always plan for the worst. That’s why Shi Jingyi wrote a letter in advance, and Zhu Yuyan came to Shi Jingyi.

After all, Shi Qiao’er and the others were the first group of people to be rescued by the foundation, so Zhu Yuyan couldn’t help but plan for them.

After listening to Shi Jingyi’s words, Zhu Yuyan also said her original plan, “I originally wanted to find a place to put up a cross on the roof and pretend to be a monastery.”

Shi Jingyi shook her head when she heard this, “This won’t work, one look and you’ll know it’s a fake.”

Zhu Yuyan sighed, “Yes, I also learned later that it won’t work this way.”

After attending the auction, she was more curious about these hidden little rules, and purposely looked them up before realizing that there was a rule about churches and monasteries, places dedicated to God, regarding the building.

This rule was odd, but it also came from a time when God was more powerful. At that time, when the divine power won a fight with the king’s power, there was a rule for God to build a temple, and it required that the building of God’s temple must be the tallest one around, in order to make it easier to receive God’s will.

I live high, I’m closer to God than mortals, and it’s easier for me to hear God’s voice.

This is true even if there is a royal palace next to it; when God builds his own house, it must be higher than the royal palace.

That’s why churches all over the world try to build their roofs higher, with steeples, and if they think the steeple isn’t high enough, they put up a cross, so that the height of the roof will be higher than the height of the roof.

That’s why God can’t work in the land of China. The priest said he was God’s apostle and lived in the highest place and could hear God’s voice.

Chinese Emperors: ……

Lao Tzu was the Son of Heaven. You know what the Son of Heaven is, don’t you? Laozi is God’s own son.

So foreign missionaries in the Ming Dynasty came to China, hard not to the Chinese emperor also snubbed the Vatican to go, but also to the end of the emperor’s generation to succeed, but the emperor soon ran away with the Japanese, the emperor baptized the priest do not know whether to count the merits of the.

I don’t know if the priest who baptized the emperor can be counted as a merit.

In short, Zhu Yuyan after understanding that she can not just find a place to put up a cross and say that this is a monastery is a church, there is no God’s exclusive steeple house, come to a knowledgable know that it is false.

She couldn’t bet on the fact that there weren’t many people in the city who knew what they were talking about, could she? If the Chinese don’t know, the foreigners don’t know either? That would be a disservice to Shi Jingyi and the others.

Shi Jingyi: “I’ll continue to write to the monasteries in the field, and if it’s not possible, I’ll take them to hide in the church.”

Matters of urgency, when the safety of one’s life is threatened, one must sometimes give in at some point – if she really took Shi Qiao’er and the girls to the church, the priest would have no choice but to open the door for them. It didn’t matter if it was a man or a woman or whatever, we were all people who served God.

At the critical moment, you can’t have a face.

Zhu Yuyan stood in awe.
