I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 47: The Demolished Mental Hospital
The nun looked to be about 25 years old. The nun's attire was not as fancy as what Chen Qingyuan saw on the Internet. It was just a simple robe and a headscarf, and the colors were only black and white, a black robe and a white collar. This was not suitable clothing for running, but the nun ran very fast!

She shouted, "Hurry, hurry up and save me, there's a filthy foreigner throwing things outside!"

Chen Qingyuan's head suddenly buzzed. There was a small church in the direction where the nun ran. There were two older nuns standing at the door...

Although he didn't know where this was, everything around him was so real. He could accept any tragic death, but he could not accept social death!

The ancients said it well.

Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must keep your innocence in this world!
Chen Qingyuan's CPU was running at high speed, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He straightened his clothes, took two steps, and sat on a stone, looking at the lake in the standard posture of a "thinker", as if the lake contained the answers to countless mysteries of the universe throughout the ages!
He had a vague guess about this place. It didn't seem like an illusion, but more like Edith had used some kind of ability to pull him back to the time when she was alive, which was a hundred years ago.

It's good that you came.

Some things are more likely to be verified in this era!
At this moment, the young nun came over with an old nun, hurrying up and looking like they were going to call them to task! They were believers in God, so they certainly couldn't be insulted...

The old nun frowned and asked, "Can you speak our language?"

Chen Qingyuan seemed to wake up from a dream and replied in surprise: "I know a little bit."

The old nun snorted coldly: "Just now I heard from Julia that you behaved indecently and casually exposed in front of her... exposed things that should not be exposed..."

Chen Qingyuan was shocked and said, "This lady thinks I am not decent. Excuse me... I was walking in the wild and thought there was no one around to solve normal physiological problems. How could this be considered as being indecent? Did I say dirty words to Ms. Julia, or did I touch her?"

He looked at Sister Julia intently.

The old nun was suddenly stuck. You know, in Europe, there are many people defecating and peeing on the streets, and even high heels were invented to prevent people from stepping on feces and urine.

She really couldn't blame the young foreigner.

Julia was really scared just now. She was just fetching water when she saw someone throwing a gun. Now she came to her senses and realized that she was too sensitive. She opened her mouth and said with courage: "I'm sorry, I just..."

Chen Qingyuan waved his hand to stop her from saying the next word: "It's okay!"

He came to this world to complete a mission, not to fall in love, and he had no time to care about Julia's feelings.

The old nun also felt bored and turned to leave.

Chen Qingyuan said, "There used to be a mental hospital by the Dutat Lake. I heard my old father mention it. May I ask where it is now? I walked around for several times but couldn't find it."

Someone actually asked about the demolished mental hospital?
The old nun stopped and looked at Chen Qingyuan carefully and said, "The mental hospital could not sustain its livelihood and was forced to be demolished. Our church built an orphanage on the site to accommodate all kinds of poor and unattended children. It has been ten years since its establishment. I'm sorry, you are ten years late..."

Seeing Chen Qingyuan's regretful look, she asked, "Do you have any acquaintances in the mental hospital?"

Chen Qingyuan sighed and said quietly, "I am a traveler who has traveled around the world. When I first came to your country, I happened to meet an old man who was robbed and lying on the roadside, dying. He was shot in the waist and was dying. He couldn't wait for others, so he gave me his only legacy and asked me to come to Dutat Lake to see a woman in the mental hospital..."

The old nun succeeded in arousing her curiosity and said, "Most of the patients in the mental hospital are residents of the nearby town. I might know the name of the woman you are looking for."

Chen Qingyuan said bluntly: "Her name is Edith!"

The old nun frowned, but Julia, who was standing next to her, subconsciously covered her mouth and nose with her hands and uttered a muffled sound, as if the name Edith was a terrifying existence.

"Why are you looking for Edith?" asked the old nun.

"Just as I said just now." Chen Qingyuan said calmly: "I am simply fulfilling the old man's commission."

"You don't even know that old man."

"Whether I know him or not, it doesn't affect me from doing what I want to do. His commission happens to be one of them."

Chen Qingyuan looked at the old nun calmly and asked, "Can it be that kindness can only be used on acquaintances?"

The old nun couldn't respond to this, so she could only say: "We all know Edith... that strange-looking woman... I'm afraid you will be frightened when you see her..."

Only then did Chen Qingyuan recognize that the old nun in front of him was the "old nun" that Edith had killed with her own hands in her memory...

The old nun said, "If you just want to see her, then you will be able to see her at nightfall tonight. After you see her, leave this place quickly..."

They talked like they were playing charades.

Who says foreigners are straightforward?

The old nun spoke in half sentences and seemed to be a little wary of Edith.

Chen Qingyuan followed him into the orphanage, which was a combination of an orphanage and a monastery. He saw many children, and the nuns were taking good care of them...

The old nun warned, "You can't walk around and break into the nuns' rooms. We are already without beauty, money, or will. Our bodies and minds belong to God. We can judge you for any disrespect you show!"

Chen Qingyuan didn't know why the old nun was so malicious towards him.

He found a chair in the yard and sat down, watching the interaction between the nuns and the child, and said, "Don't worry, I will leave automatically after I understand Edith's living conditions."

When time is needed, it passes quickly.

When he doesn't need time, he goes slow.

Chen Qingyuan waited for a whole day and finally waited until the evening when the sun was about to set.

The young nun, Julia, came over in the evening light, put a paper bag on the bench and said, "There is bread and water in it. Eat some."

Chen Qingyuan didn't hesitate and just took it and started eating.

Julia did not leave. Instead, she stood there, looking at Chen Qingyuan, whose mouth was covered with bread crumbs, and said, "You are so strange. You would unhesitatingly help a stranger fulfill a random request."

Isn't this a classic prelude before asking for help?

Chen Qingyuan said, "Do you have a request too?"

Julia swallowed back the words she had prepared, her cheeks slightly red, and said, "Edith is a resident of our town. Because of mental problems, she was sent to a mental hospital in her twenties. After the mental hospital closed down, she was already in her thirties when she came out. Because she was skinny, her arms were like branches, and her face was like an elongated monster, everyone was very scared and didn't have time to avoid her..."
