German girls were slightly taller, so they were around 1.7 meters tall at the age of 11 or 12, which was Gu Nianzhi's current height.
So when Mother Hanna said she was only 11 or 12, it wasn't baseless. It was based on the standards of German girls.
Gu Nianzhi resentfully changed into the dress Hannah gave her.
It was a traditional German dress with a blue and white striped skirt and a lake-blue top. There was a corset at the waist and chest, and the top part of the dress was a small vest style. The corset made her breasts stand out.
She definitely wasn't a little girl who hadn't developed yet.
Gu Nianzhi's mood improved and she clenched her fists. She wanted to eat, eat, eat!
Being this skinny wasn't healthy, and she wouldn't have the strength to escape.
After what happened at the convent, she didn't think she was safe now.
She found a hairdryer in the bathroom and began to dry her hair. She stopped when it was half dry.
As soon as she put down the hairdryer, she heard someone knock on the door.
She opened the door with her hair down.
Reinitz stood at the door.
He didn't expect the little girl to change into a different person after a shower and a change of dress.
Her long, black hair flowed down her back like seaweed and had natural curls. His fingers couldn't help but twitch, then he secretly clenched them to resist the urge to touch her hair.
Her palm-sized face was still tender from a shower, and her cheeks were naturally flushed. Her plump and moist lips had a perfect shape.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him in confusion, her upper lip slightly puckered like a seductive kiss.
Reinitz's gaze moved away from her lips unnaturally, but when he looked down, he saw her perky breasts.
He immediately looked up at the sky. "Dinner is ready. Come eat." He turned and walked away.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded at his back. "Ok, I'll be right there."
She returned to her room and braided her half-dry hair. She tied it up with her old rubber band and went to the kitchen.
Hannah probably knew she was starving, so she prepared a sumptuous dinner.
There was a deep white porcelain bowl filled with thick soup. It smelled like seafood, but it wasn't necessarily so.
Gu Nianzhi thought, how could there be seafood here? Freshwater or lake food was more like it.
Other than the plates in front of everyone, there were five oval-shaped porcelain plates.
One had freshly roasted beef triangles on it, and another had several sticks of bread. Thankfully, there were no blueberries on it.
There was also a long porcelain plate with sliced white sausages.
The fourth one contained a glutinous pig trotter and a long porcelain plate with a small cake that had just been baked.
It smelled so good that Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm herself.
"Come and sit down. This is the clamshell soup I prepared especially for you." Hannah greeted her warmly and gave her a bowl.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but take a spoonful. Sure enough, it was clam meat that had been cooked into a soup. However, she couldn't mistake the aroma.
Reinitz smiled and cut a piece of bread for her. He placed a few pieces of white sausage on the porcelain plate in front of her and said gently, "Eat slowly, there's still a lot in the pot."
Reinitz glanced at her. Just like before, he forked a piece of white sausage from her porcelain plate and ate it, then ate a piece of bread and some of her clam soup. He held his beer mug and smiled at her.
Reinitz glanced at her. Just like before, he forked a piece of white sausage from her porcelain plate and ate it. Then he ate a piece of bread and some of her clam stew. Holding his beer mug, he looked at her with a smile.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at her. Just like before, he forked a piece of white sausage from her porcelain plate and ate it. Then he ate a piece of bread and some of her clam soup. He held his beer mug and smiled at her.
Hannah quickly said to Reinitz, "Reinitz, you have your own portion. Why do you always eat Cereus's?"
Gu Nianzhi understood that Reinitz wanted her to eat with peace of mind, so he took the initiative to eat all the food on her plate first.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at Hannah sheepishly. "Let's eat together. It'll be more lively this way."
"Sure!" Hannah happily scooped a bowl of clam soup for herself and said, "Reinitz brought this back from Berlin. He really likes seafood, and so do I. It's just that we're quite far from the big city and the sea, so it's not easy to get it. "
"Can't you buy it online?" Gu Nianzhi asked curiously.
"We're not in the range of online delivery." Reinitz smiled faintly as he took a sip of his beer.
Gu Nianzhi ate a few mouthfuls of bread and thought of a question. "Reinitz, you work in Berlin?"
"Yeah."
"Then how did you get here?" Gu Nianzhi's eyes lit up.
If Reinitz could travel from Berlin to the remote Alps, she would be able to find her way out!
Even if she didn't return to Munich, she would be able to escape as long as she could get to a place with internet access!
She was in such a passive position because her phone and internet were blocked. She was completely cut off from the outside world. Otherwise, those people would have come to rescue her a long time ago.
Reinitz smiled at her. "I rode my motorcycle here. First, I took a plane from Berlin to Munich, then rented a motorcycle from Munich and rode it all the way here. "
Gu Nianzhi immediately recalled the cool motorcycle she saw in the backyard and let out a long "oh" as if she had a sudden realization.
Hannah and Reinitz laughed together.
The mother and son's smiles were warm and genial, and people couldn't help but feel good about them.
There was some truth to the saying that one's appearance was born from one's heart.
Gu Nianzhi sighed inwardly as she gathered her courage to ask Reinitz, "Reinitz, when are you going back to Berlin? Can you take me out with you? I don't need to go to Berlin. You just need to take me out of this mountain and find the closest town. "She was worried he would reject her, so she quickly said," I'll pay! I won't freeload and let you take me back for free! "
Reinitz's smile faded as he looked down to take a sip of his beer. He said gently, "Yeah, I'll take you out. You don't have to pay." He then left.
Gu Nianzhi keenly sensed that Reinitz's mood seemed to have soured …
She carefully looked at Hannah and whispered, "Mother Hannah, is Reinitz unhappy?"
Hannah raised her sparse eyebrows and said disapprovingly, "Is he unhappy? I don't think so … "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
It was so obvious. How could she not feel it?!
"Reinitz has always been like this. He has a good temper and is never unhappy or angry," Hannah said mysteriously to Gu Nianzhi. "Also, we are women, and he is a man. A man must give in to a woman, or else he won't be a gentleman and won't be able to find a wife."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
No way?
Reinitz's looks were already above average when compared to the average handsome guy. He wasn't any worse than those so-called European and American male stars!
Gu Nianzhi felt that her own sense of beauty was still there, so she only listened to Mother Hannah's words and didn't make any comments. She only said, "Reinitz is very handsome. Mother Hannah, you must have seen too much of him, so you don't think so?"
Then she spent the rest of the time praising Mother Hannah's delicious dinner.
She also ate a lot.
Mother Hannah was so sleepy that she went back to her bedroom to sleep, but Gu Nianzhi was still slowly eating her seventh white sausage!
Reinitz had already finished smoking and stood outside for a while. He waited for the smell of smoke to dissipate before returning inside.
At that time, he saw that Gu Nianzhi and Hannah were deep in conversation, so he didn't disturb them. He leaned against the kitchen door and quietly listened to their conversation.
Later, Hannah was sleepy and wanted to go to sleep, so Reinitz quickly moved to the side. Gu Nianzhi stood up to watch Hannah leave and didn't see Reinitz.
When Hannah came out, she saw Reinitz but didn't say anything. She smiled and patted his shoulder before leaving.
Reinitz looked at Gu Nianzhi with interest at the kitchen door for a while. Seeing that she was still eating, he walked in and sat next to her. He put his hand on her knife and fork and said gently, "You can't eat the last white sausage anymore. It's not that I'm stingy, but I'm afraid you can't take it. You'll have a stomachache at night. "
After starving for a few days, Reinitz instinctively felt that this girl's body wouldn't be able to take it.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes dimmed. She thought of her strange body and the wounds that healed overnight. She said in a helpless tone, "So what? I said I won't eat and drink for free. I'll give you money. "
"Do I care about money?!" Reinitz, who had always been gentle, finally became angry. "You only care about money. Even if you ate a hundred white sausages, how much would that be? But your body really can't take it. Come, stop eating. Drink some milk, then go wash up and sleep. " As he spoke, he very naturally wrapped one hand around Gu Nianzhi's neck and used the other to bring the glass of milk to her mouth.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but open her mouth to take a sip of milk.
Reinitz smiled and praised her gently, "Good girl."
Then he urged her to wash up. "Go rest. I'll clean up here."
When Gu Nianzhi first arrived, she had a small meal, and Reinitz had also cleaned up. Now, he had to clean up again. Gu Nianzhi felt really embarrassed.
"Let me help you." Gu Nianzhi stood up.
"No, there's not much. I can make it faster." As Reinitz spoke, he stacked the porcelain plates. Gu Nianzhi had already finished all the food on the plates.
He glanced at Gu Nianzhi and smiled. "It's a good thing that you can eat. I don't like it when little girls eat like little birds."
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly. She whispered, "I'm not like this at home. I'm really starving this time."
"Yeah." Reinitz glanced at her and didn't expose the lie she told him when she first arrived.
But Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed. She stood next to Reinitz and watched him wash the dishes. She handed him the detergent and said shamefully, "Um … I … I actually got lost by myself."
"I know."
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Her face turned even redder.
"… I … I wandered around the mountains for a few days. I only ate berries, occasionally grilled fish, and bird eggs." Gu Nianzhi told the truth. "I ate such delicious food today. I couldn't help it."
"I said it's okay. I didn't let you eat because I was afraid your body couldn't take it. "Reinitz used the back of his hand to gently touch Gu Nianzhi's stomach." It hurts here. Do you want to eat some digestive tablets? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine. I should be fine, right?"
She wanted to test how strong her body could be.
Reinitz didn't try to persuade her anymore. He quickly washed the plates and cutlery, wiped them, and put them back in the closet.
Gu Nianzhi handed him the hand sanitizer for him to wash his hands.
Reinitz laughed. His blue eyes gazed deeply at her as he asked her, "Don't you need to charge your phone?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her phone. "Do you have a charger for this iPhone?"
Reinitz looked at it and said, "This is last year's model. My phone happens to be the same model." He walked out of the kitchen and went to his room to get the charger.
Gu Nianzhi followed behind him and discovered that Reinitz's room was actually next to the guest room she had just showered in.
Reinitz came out with the charger and saw that Gu Nianzhi's expression was a bit strange. He thought about it and said, "The house is small, so please bear with it. There are only a few rooms. If you don't want to stay here, you'll have to stay with Mother Hanna … "
Of course, Gu Nianzhi didn't want to stay with someone else. She immediately shook her head. "It's fine, it's fine. I understand." She then immediately said goodnight to Reinitz.
Reinitz smiled and nodded. "Goodnight." He then returned to his room.
Gu Nianzhi also returned to her room. Although the two rooms were next to each other, the soundproofing was probably pretty good because Gu Nianzhi couldn't hear anything outside at all when she closed the door.
She plugged the charger into the wall socket and plugged in her phone.
At this time, her phone had less than 2% battery left.
Thank the heavens!
Her luck really had its ups and downs.
Gu Nianzhi's phone was charging, so she swiped it open to see that there were still two bars of signal. She tried the internet connection, and it seemed like it could connect, but it was too slow. She couldn't even open text messages or receive any messages, so she gave up.
She opened the contact list on her phone and wanted to call Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze again.
This time, the phone rang for a long time before it finally connected. It wasn't voicemail, but the operator of the Special Operations Forces' switchboard picked up the call.
"Hello, Special Operations Forces HQ Telecommunications Department. Who are you looking for?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything and hung up in a daze.
How could Yin Shixiong's number be picked up by the switchboard? That's impossible …
Could there have been major changes in the Special Operations Forces during the month that she was gone?
She held the phone and thought for a long time before finally deciding to try Chen Lie's number.
She dialed the number, and it rang for a while before someone picked up.
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Brother Chen, it's Nianzhi!"
The person on the other end seemed to freeze for a moment before a gentle female voice said, "Nianzhi? I'm Ye Zitan. Dr. Chen is currently performing a major surgery on the head of the military. It'll take another 10 hours. Do you need something? "
Gu Nianzhi immediately became discouraged. "Brother Chen is performing surgery? Then tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with Brother Xiong and the others. I left a message for them, but they haven't replied. Can you ask Brother Chen to help me ask Brother Xiong if they received my message? "
Ye Zitan replied amiably, "Ok, don't worry, Nianzhi. As far as I know, Lieutenant Colonel Yin and Lieutenant Colonel Zhao are also on a mission. They left more than 10 days ago. They can't bring their original phones when they're on a mission. "
"Oh? Oh … "Gu Nianzhi understood and sighed in relief.
It was good to know that they weren't purposely not answering her calls or replying to her messages.
Although Gu Nianzhi felt that Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze were definitely not traitors, she was still afraid that they would be used by the traitors. Now that she knew that they were on a mission, she could truly relax.
"That's good, then. Thank you, Dr. Ye! "Gu Nianzhi said briskly and immediately hung up.
Ye Zitan also hung up slowly, a smile still on her face. She opened a small app on Chen Lie's phone and clearly displayed the coordinates of Gu Nianzhi's call.
…
Gu Nianzhi ate a full dinner and quickly became sleepy.
She couldn't wait for her phone to finish charging before she fell asleep on the bed.
It was supposed to be a sweet sleep, the most comfortable one she'd had in the past eight or nine days, but she was woken up in the middle of the night by a stomachache.
She tossed and turned in bed for a while and finally couldn't resist going to the bathroom.
When she came back, she thought she could relax a little, but within two minutes, her stomach hurt again and she had to go to the bathroom again.
After this happened a few times, Gu Nianzhi secretly wondered if she had been poisoned …
But she felt better after going to the bathroom. Her stomach was full, and she finally vomited in the bathroom. She also had a slight fever, but it definitely wasn't the feeling of being poisoned …
It was more likely that she had eaten too much at night …
This was the consequence of overeating.
When Gu Nianzhi came out of the bathroom for the fifth time and crawled back to bed weakly, there was finally a knock on her door.
“Cereus？ Are you okay? "Reinitz's pleasant baritone voice rang out from the door.
Gu Nianzhi struggled to get up and leaned against the door to say weakly, "I'm fine … I'm fine … I just had a bit of diarrhea … I'm better now. You should go to sleep …"
She thought the room was soundproof, but going up and down to the bathroom a few times had indeed alarmed the person sleeping next to her.
Gu Nianzhi was very embarrassed, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand. She slid down the back of the door and sat behind it, panting.
It was quiet outside, so Reinitz should have already gone back.
Gu Nianzhi sighed in relief and hugged her knees. She rested her head on them, and her stomach ached again.
She didn't want to go to the bathroom. She really didn't want to go …
But it seemed like she couldn't not go.
Gu Nianzhi was struggling in her mind when she suddenly heard a click from the window.
She looked up weakly, and her eyes widened.
She saw that the window of her room had been pushed open from the outside. Reinitz's tall figure leaped through the windowsill and walked to her side. He half-knelt in front of her and reached out to the back of her neck to lift her head. "What's wrong? Did you eat too much tonight? "
