Act III. Miss Ai Xue

As she walked along the road, Nia's mind was full of what she had seen that day.

For the girl Emilya Blazer, Nia seems to have a lot to say, but she can't seem to say anything.

In fact, the Blazer family is not the original inhabitants of this town, three years ago, Mr. Blazer and his daughter Amira lived in a cottage in a corner of the town, no one knows where Mrs. Blazer has gone, people only speculate that maybe the recent epidemic has taken away Amira's mother, so the women look at Amira with pity in their eyes. As for Mr. Blazer, he had a dexterous handβ€”as a carpenter, Nia had heard her father describe Mr. Blazer as the best craftsman in the town for hundreds of miles, and even the nobles of the city came to visit him, hoping that Mr. Blazer would add a few pieces of furniture to his mansion.

As for Amira, although it is a little bad, Nia always feels that this girl is a little "weird".

At this age, most of the ordinary girls are still intoxicated by the heroic adventures told by the bards of the tavern, dreaming of one day meeting the heroes of the journey, well, it is better to be a handsome young man, exploring the unknown world under their protection, Nia admits that she does have a little longing for such a story, but she understands that a story is always a story, and her destiny is to spend her life in this small town in peace.

And Amira, she's completely different.

She was like a boy, curious about everything, and even if a nasty boy put a disgusting bug on her shoulder, she would just gently put it back in the grass, and would not scream like other girls, and during the afternoon break, she would not participate in the girls' so-called "tea party" as if they were pretending to be home, but would soak in the church's "library" - if the library of dozens of books could be called thatβ€” As for the weekend nights, she did not want to be as enchanted as the other girls in the ballad of the bard, but would question some of the details of the story, which made the young bard blush at the inability to answer.

Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that day, that evening, when Nya witnessed Srein kissing Amira on the lips, she would never have imagined that the two of them would become in this relationship.

"Obviously I ...... first"

Nya muttered to herself, and along the way, she met several familiar neighbors.

"Good afternoon, Aunt Mihaya. ”

"Yo, isn't this Nia. ”

An aunt sat on a chaise longue basking in the sun and nodded slightly to Nia.

"Speaking of which, don't wander around at night lately, I heard that there are child traffickers around here, keeping an eye on those lonely children. ”

The aunts in these towns always get a lot of information from the women's small talk, whether it is useful or useless, and then tell this information to their husbands and children in the interval between tea and dinner, and they will tell this to the people around them in the chat from time to time, and the news of the town is probably spread like this, ten, ten, hundred, in a day or two.

"I see. ”

Nia wanted to refute that she was past the age of playing in the wheat fields, and that it had become popular among girls lately to pretend to be the princesses in the story for role-playing, but she understood that such an explanation was superfluous, so she nodded and agreed a little perfunctorily.

Walking along the street, out of the city gate, and across the fields, is the house where Miss Ai Xue lives.

The house is small, but quiet, in the middle of a wheat field, with only the noisy summer cicadas as its company.

Knock Knock Knock –

Nia knocked on the door, she didn't know why Miss Ai Xue chose to live in this place, it was a certain distance from the town, it was not convenient to buy groceries or travel, and it was located in the middle of the fields, maybe there would be wild boars.

Soon, the door opened, and a blonde woman smiled when she saw that it was Nia.

"It's little Nia, is there anything wrong with you?"

Nia looked at Miss Ai Xue, and still couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she was so good-looking, and silently thought about how she could become as good-looking as her, and suddenly felt a little low.

"My mom said I'll give you these breads. ”

Nja lifted the basket, revealing the bread inside.

"Well, Mrs. Els is so gracious. ”

Miss Aixue quickly understood why, she thought about it, and said to Nia.

"You wait here. ”

Then he turned around and went to the room to look for something.

Nia was a little curious, she couldn't help but look into the house, only to see the simple decoration in the house, the wooden furniture, just like ordinary people.

However, she found that the door of one room was closed, which was very incongruous with the surrounding appearance, and there were strange words written on the door, which was quite strange.

Just as Nja craned her neck, ready to read the words carefully, a face appeared before her eyes.

"Found it. ”

It's Miss Ai Xue.

She smiled and handed a wooden box to Nia.

"It's a return gift. ”

Nya took the box with some confusion and opened it, only to find that it was actually an amber stone necklace inside.

In addition to the crystal clear amber with a smooth surface, it looks like the work of a fine craftsman, and in addition to this piece of amber, the necklace is also quite delicately worked, and it is worth a lot of money, which is definitely not something that the Els family can exchange.

"It's too valuable, Miss Ai Xue. ”

Although Nia is usually very aggressive, she is also educated, and although she can't tell how much the necklace is worth, she also knows that it is definitely not cheap.

"It's okay, it's useless to us, it's your bread that surprises us from time to time. ”

Miss Ai Xue said, pushing the wooden box towards Nia again.

"Okay. ”

Unable to say anything, Nya put the wooden box in her basket and prepared to go home.

"Wait, Nia. ”

Miss Ai Xue stopped her, and then whispered.

"When you go home, don't go anywhere else, just go back along the main road. ”

Nodding her head in understanding, Nya felt a little strange, and she said goodbye to Miss Ai Xue, humming a little song and walking among the fields.

She hadn't gone far when she saw a girl in a white dress standing in the wheat field ahead.

"Amira?"

Quickly recognizing each other, Nia doesn't know why she's there.

Trying to stop Amira, Nja blinked, only to find that Amira was gone.
