The sound of a rooster crowing reached Erin's ears, and she gradually opened her eyes.

It's a cramped and cramped firewood house, but surprisingly clean. Because it is not only a firewood room, but also Erin's bedroom, Erin will clean it very carefully every day to make it clean and tidy.

Summer mornings were cool and comfortable, and Erin stretched out like a kitten, then got up and started washing. She took a basin of cold water, and the face that others would have nightmares when they looked at it was clearly reflected on the water.

"It's another day, work hard, come on!" Erin thought to herself in a happy mood as she looked at her ugly self in the basin.

The weather was good today, so Erin was in a good mood, and for her, such a reason was enough for her to be happy.

Although she looks very ugly, although she lives in a firewood room, Erin still dresses herself cleanly, and although the apron used for work is still a little oily, she is undoubtedly the cleanest compared to other aprons that make people vomit. The rest of her clothes, though washed and white, were not stained at all.

"So early, Irene. The tavern's lady was also up at this time, she was a fat middle-aged woman, and she always smiled at people on weekdays. But Erin knew that if she made any mistakes, she would become extremely vicious, and it was indispensable to be beaten and starved twice.

So, Erin responded enthusiastically but cautiously: "Boss, you're early, too." ”

"I look so ugly and I wash and dress up every day, do you really think I'm a noble lady?" the proprietress muttered in her heart, but she didn't say it, in general, the little girl her husband bought was still very good, optimistic, down-to-earth, and hardworking.

It's just that she is so diligent that she not only has to brush hundreds of bowls every day, but also has the energy to clean the room and wash the clothes after doing all the work. Every time I look at her clean and tidy clothes, the proprietress is a little uncomfortable, not only her, but also the other waiters, so although Erin is very optimistic and cheerful, but the popularity here is not very good, and there are many people who tease her every day and sarcastically mock her appearance.

The proprietress thought for a moment, and then instructed Erin: "After you finish tidying up, go and wipe the table again, the weather is good today, there may be a lot of customers, it is always good to clean up the shop." ”

"Okay. Although she was a dishwasher, she was not responsible for cleaning the table and cleaning the storefront, but she still agreed without hesitation.

"Well, there you go. The proprietress nodded with satisfaction, this Erin is very good at this point, whenever she asks her to work overtime, she will very readily agree.

Erin washed it, then tied her long silver-gray hair into a ponytail with a rubber band rope and began her day's work.

Even though the other waiters had wiped the table last night, their almost perfunctory approach to cleaning up was clearly not going to have much effect. So Erin took the rag a little helplessly and wiped the table carefully one by one, until the table was shiny and reflective.

"Hostess, I'm done. "It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Irene finished all the work, and at this time the proprietress had also finished purchasing today's ingredients and had just returned from outside.

"Well done!" the proprietress looked at her face from the table with satisfaction, and then continued: "I learned that Ken was sick today when I was shopping just now, and you will be a waiter for him for a day, but the dishes still have to be washed in the same way." ”

"Ah?!...... this time," Erin hesitated, last time she was a waiter in place of someone else, but she was scolded by the guest because of her appearance, so she was still a little scared when she heard this request this time.

"Alright, that's it, I'll give you an extra ten copper coins at the end of the month. The proprietress waved her hand and finalized the matter.

"......" Erin sighed helplessly, then loosened the band cord and let her long hair hang naturally to cover her cheeks, hoping that this would allow fewer guests to see her face.

......

Noon finally came, and Erin began her own work as a waiter. She was very careful when serving the plates, not only trying to keep her feet as light as possible so as not to attract attention, but also keeping her head down so that her long hair hung down to cover her face.

But her silver hair was so conspicuous that no matter how much Erin tried to hide it, she couldn't resist the curious gaze of those people, and when others saw her, there was no doubt that her face would change color slightly because of her horrible appearance.

But the gods blessed, and none of these guests, despite their curiosity, came up to embarrass her, which made Irene secretly rejoice.

The noon work was soon over, and since most of the waiters were townsfolk near the tavern, they all went back to their homes to take a little rest while they waited for the evening work. Poor Irene, on the other hand, began to clean the mountains of dishes, knives and forks in the kitchen.

The proprietress sat in the shade of the door a little bored, this place is an outlet, and it is most comfortable to enjoy the shade here in summer.

A group of people walked not far away, they looked around, and then pointed to the tavern.

It was five men of great spirits, led by a deep scar on the corner of his mouth, all of them wearing rudimentary leather armor, with shallow and deep scar marks on their exposed skin.

"A few guests, please!" Although it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, the proprietress immediately greeted the group warmly when she saw this group of people. Years of business experience have given him a clear idea of what this group of people does, and robbers and bandits are common in this chaotic town. But fortunately, she paid the protection money to the biggest bandit gang in town, and although these bandits were terrifying, they were not too wild here. However, the arrival of these people is destined to eat and drink for nothing, but these proprietresses are used to it.

The men walked in swearing, and then shouted that they should bring up any food and drink.

The proprietress hurriedly responded, and then beckoned the cook in the kitchen to get some food.

"Damn, I didn't expect there to be three mid-level warriors sitting in a camp, but we were eaten this vote. One of the robbers said with a look of gloom that they had seen a group of people camping last night, so they went up as usual to "ask" for some tolls. But they didn't expect that there were three people in the camp who were middle-level warriors, and they cleaned up the five brothers like hungry wolves who saw fat sheep, not only did they not get the money, but they also took away their own money.

"Hmph, I remember the appearance of those people, offended the Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand, and they want to live for a few months?" said the other man fiercely.

"This is our sauce beef, honey sausage, and red wine, so please use it slowly. Erin said timidly. These men are not good at first glance, and if they accidentally offend them, they will inevitably suffer some hardships. So she kept her head as low as she could, and gently brought the meal to the table.

Although she works all year round, it may be a relationship of dark elf blood, and Irene's hands still look crystal white. One of the robbers was immediately moved when he saw this cute little hand, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Erin, and then said in a strange voice, "Do you have any special services in your shop?

"No, no...... I'm sorry to everyone, but we don't have this business in our shop......," Erin withdrew her hand in horror, but she looked up as well.

The five robbers caught a glimpse of her face as well, and let out a scream of surprise when they saw Erin's face.

"Damn, why are you so unlucky in the past two days, I thought I had met a fat sheep, but I walked over and realized that it was a group of hungry wolves. I thought I had met a beautiful woman, but I realized that it was ugly at first glance. Is this playing tricks on Lao Tzu?" one of the robbers immediately slapped the table and shouted.

"Right...... I'm sorry...... I'm ugly......" Erin quickly lowered her head and said timidly.

The robber has also been in a depressed mood for the past two days, and looking at Erin's pitiful appearance, he has a perverted bloodthirsty desire. He stood up abruptly and raised his hand to give Erin a slap.

"What the do you know you're ugly?" said the robber.

"Oh, what's wrong with the guest?" the proprietress heard the movement and hurried over.

"Are you the proprietress of the host?" asked the robber, looking at the fat woman.

"Yes, I don't know what I'm sorry about in the shop?"

"I'm sorry?" the robber sneered and pointed at Erin, who fell to the ground, "Your little shop uses such an ugly bastard as a waiter?

She ...... She's just a dishwasher here, and I asked her to come out and help out when a waiter asked for leave today. The hostess explained.

"Then Lao Tzu doesn't care, the mood of a few of us eating was ruined by her, what do you say?" shouted several robbers.

"I don't know which adult is following them?" The proprietress could see that these guys were deliberately making trouble, if they were just a group of small bandits who had nothing to rely on, then she would naturally not be too polite to them, and the group of thugs in the town would come over and clean them up with a shout. But if they were some kind of big gang, even if they were minions, it was something she didn't want to offend.

"You're smart. One of the robbers raised his thick arm, and a blood-red demonic hand was tattooed near his wrist.

"Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand!" the proprietress was startled, this Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand was the largest bandit group in the province of Semrela, and that was something that could not be offended. It is said that the bandit gang in his town belongs to the Brotherhood of the Bloody Hand, and their leader may not be as good as the few people in front of him in terms of rank.

"I still have some insight!" said the robber triumphantly, "Then what do you say today?"

The proprietress immediately put on a warm and respectful look: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be the distinguished guests of the Bloody Hand Brotherhood who came to the shop, this is really our honor." In this way, since it is a distinguished guest, it is not good to bring it up without money. If you eat at the shop, this meal will be my welcome banquet for all distinguished guests. ”

"That's pretty much it. "The robber also knows that each territory has its own rules, and he came here to eat for free, so he doesn't want to cause any big trouble.

But Irene, who fell to the ground, caught her attention, and he turned to the proprietress and said, "This woman, it's she who spoils our interest, what are you going to do?"

The proprietress looked at Erin, who was lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, and said in her heart: "Then it's up to you, she is the person we bought, since you have provoked you, you can do whatever you want." Just beg don't hurt her life, otherwise it will be a nuisance to our little shop. ”

"Naturally, I will give the hostess a bit of face. The robber pulled out his dagger, and as he walked into Erin, he said with a sinister smile, "Aren't you a dishwasher?
