Chapter 409: Three to the Countryside
In the morning light, smoke curls from the small mountain village surrounded by mountains.
The plan of the day is in the morning, and having breakfast can make people energetic to start the day.
If you walk along the path between the houses and listen closely, you can hear the pre-dinner prayers coming from the table.
The villagers are thanking the god of harvest and forging for guiding them to carve out a new world in the mountains.
It is a village where herbs are mainly cultivated, and if you leave the village and go into the surrounding mountain forest, you will find that almost all the large trees are more or less parasitic with a vine plant.
In the middle of the village, the chapel used for the former mission and sermon in the church has been renovated, and the guests who had come to the village last night were staying in the church, while they were sitting around the long put together table and preparing breakfast.
Today's pre-dinner prayer was mixed with the prayer of a god of light, but everyone didn't care about it, and Mira has developed from trembling and walking on thin ice at the beginning to now being able to face it calmly.
Today is Christmas in the Rurik Kingdom, and according to legend, the Lady of the Demon Race gave birth to the Holy Son a few days before the beginning of winter, and later the Holy Son led other races such as demons and orcs to settle and multiply near Abyss City.
From Christmas Day on November 4th to the beginning of winter on November 8th, the autumn harvest has ended, and winter is coming, so it has gradually become a festival for the people of Rurik to commemorate their ancestors, celebrate the harvest, and prepare for the winter, and it has gradually become a small long holiday.
Breakfast in the church is very simple, peel the fast-forming roots of a plant and grind them into a pulp, strain them simply, pour them into boiling water and stir them a few times, and when the contents of the pot become the same color as the paste, they are cooked, and when you eat them, you can sprinkle some dried or dried fruits into it.
A bowl of hot mush can bluff your stomach.
After Mira finished breakfast, she and Momiji packed everyone's bowls and washed them by the well behind the church kitchen.
There are more than 20 people in this team of three people who go to the countryside, and each of them has their own division of labor, even the nieces of the two demon kings who joined temporarily.
Perhaps because there are few orcs in this area, the children in the village are very curious about the meow girl Momiji.
While Momiji was squatting by the well to wash the dishes, a bear child tiptoed towards Momiji's back and reached for Momiji's wagging tail.
The bear child's right hand grabbed at the tip of the tail at the right time, and the catch was empty. Immediately afterwards, the bear child's left hand also grabbed towards the tail, which also missed.
At this time, the bear child noticed that the tail in front of him wagged forward a little, and he took a small step forward to grab Momiji's tail.
Just as the bear child lifted one leg and the center of gravity changed, Momiji's tail suddenly wrapped around the ankle of the bear child's supporting leg, and then pulled it hard, and the bear child fell to the ground with a butt.
Amid the laughter of the onlookers, Momiji stood up and flicked the water on his hands while washing the dishes on the bear child's face.
After washing the breakfast utensils, Mira and Momiji put them in a large pot on the kitchen stove, added water to the pot and began to light a fire. In order to save money, these cutlery are purchased uniformly and disinfected in boiling water after each meal.
The village is small, but it has everything from stone-covered drainage ditches to infirmaries and schools. However, due to space problems, the infirmary and the school have been sharing the church with the temple.
When the water in the pot boiled for a while, Mira took out the large strip of firewood from the hearth and stuffed it into the ashes under the hearth to extinguish it, and her task this morning was almost complete.
Mila walked out of the church's kitchen to the chapel, where a medical student from the countryside was teaching some villagers about medicine, as well as diagnosing and treating some common diseases.
A row of tables and chairs was set up outside the church gate, two intern doctors were examining the villagers, and two excellent doctors were treating some villagers suffering from incurable diseases.
Mira comes here to help out when she's done her work and does what she can.
In front of the church is a small village square, on the other side of which there are several shelves and a row of tables, on which are placed many small picture books, these picture books include old news of the Rurik Kingdom, some popularize various knowledge, and comic books for children.
In the Rurik kingdom of papermaking, the literacy rate was not low, and the priests in the village churches worked part-time as school teachers in addition to preaching, but the teaching materials were provided by the state rather than by the temple.
The bear kid who had just tried to grab Momiji's tail was looking at Momiji with his eyes on it, because now the other children had got the comic book and were sitting at the table watching it with relish.
The bear child looked at Momiji who was handing out books to everyone with a look of hope, but Momiji deliberately ignored him and instead helped other adult villagers who came to borrow books to get the booklets from the shelves.
At this time, the bear child said to Momiji, "Auntie, if you are so careful, you will not be able to marry in the future!"
The hair on Momijime's ears and tail suddenly straightened, and she swept her eyes across the bookshelf, and then picked out a copy of "Woodland Chicken Disease Prevention and Control Technology" and stuffed it into the bear child's hand.
The bear child sat at the table with the booklet and read it with a confused face, but fortunately, considering that most readers are just at the level of literacy, there are many pictures in the booklet, and the bear child is a little interesting to read sitting there.
On the other side of the small square, a simple stage is taking shape, and with the help of many villagers, the team is setting up the stage for the evening performance.
This small village has been established for hundreds of years, and it is the first time that the villagers can see a professional performance on their doorstep, so many of the villagers who came to help showed great enthusiasm.
Especially the young people in the village, there are young and beautiful girls in the art team working together, and they are driven by hormones to do their best to build the stage.
The simple stage was set up quickly, and it was all completed by noon. The program for the next three nights was laid off the stage, the first two nights were operas and the last night was concerts.
Many villagers are full of curiosity when they pass by the stage, and they sometimes shout nonsense when they sing or something, but they have never seen the opera, and many people have only heard of such a thing.
Except for the opera, the people and things in this team that came to the village last night were like throwing a big stone on the gentle water.
For the small mountain villages, which used to be visited only by caravans at regular times, this "three trips to the countryside" team brought them more curiosity than the trees on the mountain.
