Chapter 343: Ordinary Life in Echo Valley (3/4)
Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully.
This little girl was thin and small, barefoot, and the clothes she was wearing were tattered, almost no different from the strips of cloth, but although they were torn, they were still clean, and there was no smell coming out, her hair was as yellow as grass, and her face was full of vegetables, and the only thing that stood out was a pair of eyes, black and shiny eyes, almost shining, with a very aura.
The little girl was carrying a rattan basket in her hand, and she crossed her hands on her hips and angrily accused Rollin of failing to live up to her guests' consciousness.
Looking at the little girl who was right, Luo Lin suddenly remembered the words of the mountain boar, everyone in this valley is really able to fight, and even a little girl's temperament is so strong.
Fortunately, there was a cover prepared in the package of Rollin space, and he didn't argue, so he took out the cover, put it on the wooden board in this small bedroom, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I did bother." ”
His action made the little girl stunned, she thought that the other party would be unwilling, she was ready to fight, but she didn't expect the other party to care at all, she herself was a little embarrassed: "Oh, that's it." Oops, are you hungry? I've picked a lot of wild fruits, so I'll make you something to eat. ”
As she spoke, she also raised the basket in her hand, and the basket was indeed filled with some wild fruits, including a small half basket. Looking at the blood marks on this little girl's naked hands and feet, it must not be hard to collect, but there is no pity on the little girl's face, she is indeed really entertaining Luo Lin, a guest.
is really a frank character, of course Luo Lin will not enjoy the fruits of the little girl's labor, smiled and shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I just eat." ”
"Oh. That's fine. You're such a big man. I'm afraid you'll eat all the wild fruits. The little girl grinned, and when she saw that Luo Lin was laying the bed, she put down the basket, walked over and put the bed directly, and said with a smile: "What I just said was angry, you are a guest, of course I have to entertain well, you sleep in the bed." I'll just sleep on the floor. ”
Luo Lin was not entangled, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much." ”
After thinking about it, he took out a short sword from the package and handed it over: "Then this time will be disturbed." This is my payment to you. ”
The dagger was made of stainless steel, which Rollin had used before, but now he could not use it, and the little girl's eyes shone brightly at the sight of this beautifully crafted weapon. She usually goes out with the women in the valley to collect wild fruits and vegetables, and in order to pick more food, there is always a time when she is alone, and she can only take a wooden stick to defend herself. So I wanted my own weapons for a long time, but there was a shortage of supplies in the valley. She had never had the luxury of getting any really powerful weapons, at most she wanted a wooden bow or a better stick.
Therefore, she had no immunity to the short sword in front of her, which was wrapped in unknown beautiful leather.
After hesitating for a while, she finally didn't resist the temptation, took the short sword, and then couldn't wait to pull the short sword out of the sword body, and suddenly couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful!" ”
The steel blade shines with a cold metallic texture, the sword is decorated with antique style, and the hilt is tightly wrapped with a non-slip leather strip. Although in Luo Lin's opinion, the casting process of this short sword is just average, in the eyes of a little girl who has never seen the world, it is simply like an artifact.
After admiring it over and over for a long time, she put away her dagger and announced with a satisfied expression, "Then, as the host, I will do my best to provide you with delicious food and a comfortable living environment." ”
"Deal." Rollin laughed.
"Are you sure you really don't want this? It's a black strawberry, it's very sweet, it's very sweet. The little girl picked up the basket again.
"No, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest for a while." Rollin smiled.
Calculate the time, it's time for the moon to go down too, and it's time to rest.
"Alright then, good night, guest."
"My name is Luo Lin, but a girl of your age, just call me uncle." Luo Lin smiled, in fact, he is only twenty-three years old this year, but his appearance is old, not to mention his temperament, people who see him usually think that he is in his thirties.
The little girl thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay then, uncle." With that, she crept out of the bedroom and prepared her own dinner.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, when Rollin awoke, the little girl Jasmine was still asleep, clinging to her worn-out animal skin mattress, curled up with her little body, and sleeping soundly.
Rollin got up lightly, went to the small hall, looked around, and found a few wooden bowls, the wooden bowls were very old, but very clean.
Rollin took the folding table next to the table and unfolded it, the rotating joint of one leg of the table was a little broken and unstable. After checking it, Luo Lin took out the dagger, sharpened a wooden tenon from the small stool on the stump on the side, and then gently nailed the wooden tenon into the table leg to fix this little problem.
Then Rollin set the wooden bowl on the table, took out the food contained in the magic package, a few lukewarm deer steaks, a roasted falcon egg, and a cup of warm goat's milk, prepared them in duplicate, and then he began to enjoy them himself.
Yesterday the little girl said that she would provide him with food, and he agreed, but that was just talk, of course he would not really let an eight-year-old girl feed, and his magic package contained enough delicacies for him to eat every day for a long time.
While eating, there was movement in the bedroom, and the little girl Jasmine also woke up, and after a while, there were footsteps, and then there was a surprised voice: "Hey, what is so fragrant?" Ah, uncle, when did you prepare? ”
Luo Lin smiled and stretched out his hand to beckon: "Come and eat, I'll prepare it for you." ”
"But we said okay, I should have prepared it for you." The little girl looked entangled, but it didn't prevent her eyes from staring at the food on the table, she had seen the meat steak, but she had never seen such a fragrant one, and she had seen bird eggs, but she had never seen such a big one. She hadn't seen or knew the white goat's milk, but she had heard the uncles and aunts in the valley gossip about it, and they said that the rich people of the kingdom of Slay liked to drink it in the morning.
The aroma of the food attracted the little girl, and her mouth was almost watering, but she was still torn by the fact that she, as a master, had failed to fulfill her promise.
Rollin smiled and shook his head, taking the falcon egg. Peel off a little eggshell. Then he gently threw it at the little girl: "I live in your house." It's already very disturbing to occupy your cot, and I pay you for these meals. ”
The little girl hurriedly took the eagle egg, her little nose twitched unconsciously, she smelled the aroma of the hard-boiled egg, and she was really reluctant to let go, but she said with some hesitation: "But I have received the payment last night." My father said that you can't be greedy. ”
"Then you'll help me wash some dirty laundry." Rollin Road. When he was outside, his clothes were dirty, and he threw them into the magic package, and then he put on new ones, and this time he came out in a hurry, and his clothes were almost out of stock.
This is what the little girl can do, and she immediately responded happily: "No problem." ”
She didn't bother anymore, peeled off the eggshell and took a bite, and suddenly smiled: "It's delicious." ”
After her father left, she rarely ate baked eggs.
"There's more. I can't finish it alone. Let's do it together. Rollin invited again.
This time, the little girl did not refuse, and sat down at the table. Looking at the food on the table, although I really wanted to eat it, I still carefully asked, "Are these the same?" ”
"Of course."
"Thank you." The little girl thanked her before she began to eat, and at first she was a little cautious, but after a while she began to gobble it up. Rollin himself had finished eating, and he was just smiling and watching.
Somehow, while eating, the little girl suddenly began to shed tears, of course, this did not prevent her from eating all the food on the table, and then sucked the grease on her hands, and then wiped her face and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just remembered my father." ”
"It doesn't matter." Rollin smiled softly and reached out to pat the little girl's thin shoulder.
After eating, Jasmine began to consciously put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then asked, "Where are your dirty clothes?" Is it this one? Take it off, I'll take it for you and wash it." ”
Luo Lin took out all the dirty clothes in the magic package, there were more than a dozen sets, and piled them on the ground, and the little girl was dumbfounded.
"So many, where did you put them?"
"I know some magic." Rollin explained.
This answer is enough, for the little girl, magic is amazing, omnipotent, what is it to hide some clothes. She took out a large rattan blue from the corner of the hall, filled it with a few sets, and then carried it out: "Then I'll go to the Emerald River to wash clothes." ”
She was going to wash it several times.
"Good. When the moon turns to the center of the sky, remember to come back for dinner. ”
"Hmm." The little girl answered, carried a basket full of dirty clothes, and staggered to the river.
Luo Lin went back to the house, lay down on the bed, and began to deal with Zhi Brain with peace of mind.
In the days that followed, Rollin didn't hear anything about the world, so he stayed in the little girl's wooden house, concentrating on analyzing and modifying the structure of the brain.
The little girl didn't have to go out to look for food, because Rollin would prepare the food as soon as she arrived, and in return, the little girl was responsible for maintaining the hygiene in the wooden house and helping Rollin wash his clothes, which was also a happy cooperation.
The hounds would occasionally come to him, but he and the boar were busy and had to go out often, so they didn't see each other much. It could be seen from the hound's demeanor that the situation outside the valley was not very good, but the hounds did not say anything specific, and Rollin did not ask.
In fact, all the warriors in the valley, including the leader Manray, had to go out from time to time, either to hunt or to get weapons, but Rollin knew hounds and boars, and he didn't pay attention to the others.
As for Man Lei, Rollin hadn't seen him much since that day, and even if he did, at most he nodded coldly. The two looked at each other and hated each other, and they didn't bother to say a word.
At first, the residents of Echo Valley were quite curious and wary of Luo Lin, but after more than half a month of calm, they slowly got used to Luo Lin's storage and let down their guard.
As for what the Hound said about Rollin being able to defeat the mountain giants and kill hundreds of goblins, most of the people in the valley didn't believe in these mythical things, they only believed what they saw.
For most of the month, what the people in the valley saw was an otaku who stayed at home, except for wearing a good clothes, it seemed that he didn't see anything special about him, listening to Jasmine, he can also do magic, but in addition to making some food, it's not a big deal. And wearing well, eating well, and especially loving cleanliness, these are all the vices of the nobility in the eyes of the people in the valley, and everyone scoffs at them and doesn't take it seriously.
Slowly, the valley regained its former calm.
On this day, Luo Lin made a big breakthrough when he was transforming his brain, and he was so happy that on a whim, he took out his sword and practiced his sword in the open space outside the wooden house. Of course, all the power is implicit but not revealed, and no disappearance is revealed, just ordinary exercises.
After this practice, Luo Lin entered a state of concentration, forgetting the passage of time, and he didn't know how long it had been, when suddenly he heard a crisp voice coming: "Uncle, you practice so beautifully." Can I learn from you? ”
When I turned my head, it was the little girl Jasmine, who was still carrying a basket of wild vegetables in her hand, and she had been looking for wild vegetables recently, but not for food, but to satisfy the unusual taste of Lower Rollin. Who made this uncle get tired of eating delicious meat and like the taste of wild vegetables?
She was standing on the side watching Luo Lin practice swordsmanship, with a curious expression. (To be continued......)
