Lu Ning and his wife were arranged by Mi Yingluo to work in the public bath, and their job was to fetch water from the well to the bath and heat it to a certain extent during the bathhouse open day, in addition, to maintain order in the bathhouse.

In the past, the people who took care of the bathhouse were also a couple, but now they are too old, so they have to arrange apprentices to come in.

The couple who took care of the baths had two sons, but one died of illness before they could get married, the other was killed in a fight with a neighboring village, and the daughter-in-law remarried, leaving only one granddaughter, otherwise his son would inherit his job and would not have had to arrange an apprentice.

In addition, the couple had three daughters, but the public baths, blacksmith shops, etc., all belonged to the lord's slave households, and their daughters were taken away by the lord when they were almost adults, or married into other farmers or worked in the lord's family, and were no longer considered family members of the couple.

In the whole of South India, usually the scope of a lord's rule is an extremely closed and self-sufficient economic circle, and the same is true of Uurora, in the city of Uurora, there are all kinds of craftsmen, oilmen, carpenters, blacksmiths, leathermen, painters, etc., and home textiles, etc., occasionally need to make some transactions with the outside world, but without outside trade, this closed economic circle can also be self-sufficient.

Although the main function of the villages around Uura is food production, if you need craftsmen or handicraft supplies, you need to go to Upora to hire and buy, but Gabi is a relatively large village, and there are also some artisan households of their own, such as blacksmith households, but they mainly maintain some iron farm tools and daily necessities, and they are not very good at making anything by themselves.

However, the public bath where Lu Ning is working now is not in Wupora Tucheng, and it is also because there is a river near Wupora, and Gabi is a little far away from the small river in his farmland irrigation land, so he dug a well to get water and built a public bath, and its years are a little old, how can there be thousands of years, and later the lords of this place have repaired it.

In the small courtyard of the earth house, Lu Ning and Aishivaya live in a side house similar to the Central Plains wing, and Lu Ning works in the public bath alone to learn from the elderly, which is quite interesting.

Naturally, there is no technical content in carrying water from the well, and the main thing is to heat the water in the bath with some skill, like the stove in later generations, which used the method of burning the stone wall from the side, of course, the heated stone bath is very small, and it is separate from other baths, mainly for the service of some powerful people in the manor.

……

In the earthen house, Lu Ning took out a bag of candied fruit like a trick, which surprised Aishwarya, and her clear and charming eyes were even more joyful.

Maybe because of her young age, Aishwarya likes to eat some sweet snacks from the Central Plains, but she doesn't want to, so Lu Ning secretly brought some with her.

"I, I'm hiding...... Thank you, thank you...... Rabiba ...... stammered, and Aishwarya's pretty face turned red again.

Lu Ning smiled, "There's no need to hide it." ”

Indeed, after all, the two of them are from the higher castes of the north, their skin colors are different, and they have brought some food and drink in private, and Mi Jiluo will not think about it seriously.

From north to south, the common people of the Indian subcontinent are generally darker-skinned, while the higher castes in the north are particularly fair-skinned.

The old couple in the bathhouse also have a lot of respect for the two, and they don't treat them like equals.

"Don't hide? In that case, I, I want to give the black sister some ......" Aishwarya looked at her cautiously and asked for Lu Ning's opinion, after all, every move, she was worried about revealing Lu Ning's identity.

Outside, there was the excited voice of the black girl, as if it had been grinding for a long time, and her grandparents finally allowed her to come to the big brother and big sister to play.

Heimei is the granddaughter of an old couple in the bathhouse, her son died during a fight with another village, and her daughter-in-law remarried, only this eight-year-old granddaughter and the old couple depended on each other.

Heimei is Lu Ning's name for this little Indian girl, Lu Ning thought that her original name was rapped, so she gave her a nickname casually, Aishwarya naturally didn't know what Heimei's Qi pronunciation meant, and when she heard Lu Ning shout like this, she also followed Lu Ning to call her so.

Speaking of which, the black girl is a typical skin color of the bottom race in southern India, although it is not as dark as Africans, but the complexion is very dark, but the hair is short and curly, and the deep big eyes are dark and shiny, which is particularly beautiful, and she can be regarded as a little beauty embryo, and her personality is also very cute.

Before running to the wing, although there was no door, she still asked if her brother and sister were outside the curtain that Lu Ning found hanging, which was also the rule that Aishwarya taught her.

Maybe it's because the grandparents take care of the baths, the black girl loves cleanliness very much, unlike most dirty children in the southern region, although the linen skirt has a few holes, it is also clean, which is one of the reasons why Aishwarya likes her.

When she stuffed the candied fruit given by Aishwarya into her mouth, the black girl's big black eyes immediately widened and glowed, she had never tasted such a sweet and greasy thing.

"Save some food, I didn't bring much with me." Aishwarya looked at the black girl and stuffed her with a bag of preserves.

Lu Ning shook his head helplessly, knowing that the Virgin's heart had flares up again, and he didn't know how much he loved to eat.

Outside, a few figures suddenly came in, this small courtyard of the earthen house, there is no courtyard gate, not even a fence gate like the Central Plains, just a wooden fence.

"Vikramaditya, come out! Master Bayi is here! "Three or four servant-like men were surrounded by a Humpty Dumpty man, and the servants shouted as soon as they entered the courtyard.

Lu Ning knows Humpty Dumpty, the most picky fat and thin, the water temperature is neither high nor low, is a distant relative of Mi Jiluo, what is the name of Bayi, the local respectful title Bayi plus honorific title suffix, similar to the meaning of the Central Plains Bayi Lord or Bayi outside the member.

Lu Ning walked out of the earthen house, but when he saw Bayi's eyes, he looked into his house, and one of his servants shouted: "What about your wife, why don't you come out to say hello to Master Bayi?" ”

Lu Ning frowned slightly, and also understood, since Bayi heard that the new northern bathhouse worker couple, his wife is amazingly beautiful, and he came to see the authenticity with his heart.

If you want to say that your current identity is actually unable to protect your wife, of course, you will definitely not be able to marry a beautiful wife.

didn't bother to talk nonsense, Lu Ning strode over, Bayi and the others didn't react at all, and they were thrown out by him one by one like dead dogs by the neck.

Bayi and the others fell and screamed, and it took a long time outside to get up, the servants scolded Lu Ning, Bayi said the most vicious words, but no one dared to enter the hospital again, the strength of this iron-headed monster was really amazing, and he didn't have the strength to resist at all when he grabbed his neck.

Bayi and the others limped away, either to call someone or to sue, and Lu Ning didn't care.

When she turned around, she saw the little girl standing by the door of the room dumbfounded, Lu Ning smiled, "Don't be afraid." ”

Lu Jingjing stood quietly in front of Mi Yinluo.

The red sari wrapped in a graceful figure of Mi Yingluo lazily leaned lazily in the soft mat of the veil, at a young age, the enchanting under the childlike face, there is a unique style.

Looking at Lu Ning, Mi Yinluo said lightly: "It seems that the most suitable job for you is fighting." ”

Lu Ning didn't say anything.

"Well, I have been fighting with the neighboring Kshatriyas for a long time because of a piece of fertile land, and now he is even more forced to deceive me, and the king of Xizeng wants me to transfer the land to his son to help me mediate the dispute, but I don't like it."

Lu Ning listened, but was still silent.

"A few days ago, the Kshatriyas of Naakkar asked the Brahmin elders of the temple of Azara to adjudicate and propose the law of fighting beasts, and Gabi and Akhaju each sent a slave fighter to beg for divine power, and asked the gods to adjudicate, and the Brahmin elders to testify to the ownership of the land."

Lu Ning sighed in his heart, and said it very beautifully, but in fact, it was just a one-on-one confrontation by force.

"If you help me win, not only will you be guilty of beating Kshatriyas, but you will be able to restore your Kshatriya status here, and I will give you some land, which will be enough for your husband and wife."

Lu Ning nodded, "A word is a certainty." ”

Mi Ryūra stared at him with deep and beautiful eyes, "If you lose, your head will be cut off, and as a price for offending my people, your wife, I will marry her to the Kshatriya of Akaju in exchange for that land, I think, he will agree." ”

Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much.
