Although, this is not the first day Anne has lived in this small wooden house, but, if you think about it, this is indeed the first time that she has really looked at the supporting buildings of this ranch that was given to her by others for free!

It's just that I may not have felt anything before, but now that I look at it, a certain bad little girl has gradually become a little messy, and the more I look at it, the more cold I feel......

“……”

━(?Δ?∥)━ン

"How can it be like this......

=???? ('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)

Yes, Anne seemed a little unconvinced that what she herself saw today could be such a bleak scene.

And before, she had lived in this house for a long time, and it had been a few days, but she didn't seem to mind at all, or she didn't notice those details at all?!

"How could it be such a .....?"

=???? (??? *)

"There is no stove...... There are no kitchenware...... There is no fridge...... There are no cupboards ...... either."

(?﹏? 、)

"Tibbs, this is the first time that people have discovered that this house that people have lived in for a whole week, it is so small, so pitiful......"

?°(°ˉ?? ˉ?°)°?

Yes, that's right!

After Anne rushed all the way back from the library of Miss Mary's house, she finally found that her home in the corner of the farm, this building, seemed to be nothing more than a pitiful small wooden house of only about 30 square meters? And it's not just small, it's just a small broken bookcase, a TV, a single wooden bed, a storage box, a simple dining table, a square table, a wall calendar, and two bedside tables, and that's it?

As for the other things, such as those key items that would affect her ability to eat the other delicious things in Ore Town, such as the stove, refrigerator, cupboards for food, pots and pans, etc., there was not half of it!!

"Woo......"

o(T▽T)o

"It's so stingy! It's so stingy, how can they be like this?! ”

? (?﹏? 、)?

Yes, Anne expressed her strong displeasure with that little boy and bad nose mayor and that old man Thomas! Because, the other party didn't even prepare a stove for her? That is, Queen Anne, if someone else took over the farm, wouldn't there be no place to cook, and then she would be starved to death?

（…… ）

(￢?￢。 )

"Tibbs, tell me what the hell are people going to do now?!"

?°(°ˉ?? ˉ?°)°?

Anne didn't want to go to Uncle Dart and Miss Lynn's shop anymore because she was tired of eating! So, now she desperately wants to have a stove and all kinds of cooking tools, and then try to make her own meal that is said to be super delicious, and see how good it is.

(What's so hard about this kind of small thing, the house is small, and you go to expand the house yourself?) Then why not buy your own stove and kitchen utensils? What a big deal is that?

ε=(′?'●)))) Alas

- A certain bear 'Wang' Tibbs fell listlessly to the ground, his ears and tail drooping, and he didn't want to pay attention to his poor little master. It just thought that the other party ran back in a rage to find that it had stolen honey? And then you want to beat it up? But how could you think that such a thing really is? But? It doesn't understand, she herself has 10,000 ways to achieve any goal she wants, but what is it trying to toss here...... ）

“！！”

! (;?o?) o

"That's right! Uncle Gates, the woodcutter, told them a few days ago that he could help them expand their houses...... That's right, that's it? People are looking for him now! Feed! Tibbs? Hurry up, let's go to the grove to the south and find that bearded uncle now, and ask him to build us a big house!! ”

-=???? =????? (?)?

Finished? Anne hurriedly opened the door, and then did not close the door, and immediately greeted Tiebs, the bear of her own, and ran to the south of her own farm.

Does she remember? Uncle Gotz said that his house was just to the south, after crossing the river where her farm drew water, to the east of the grove near the main road, and that there was a lumberyard there, which was very recognizable?

(Report Dear little master, that guy's name is Gotz, not Gates!) ）

~(′??? `)~

(Seeing that some of the nasty little master didn't seem to have discovered some of his little secrets, Tibbs quickly refreshed himself and stepped out of his four legs and followed closely behind the other's ass.) ）

"People don't care what his name is, anyway, they just know what it means!"

(???? -)

In fact, if it weren't for Tiebs, if he didn't still need the beard called Gates, and if he still needed the other party to help him expand the house, Anne might not know when she would forget about the other party!

（…… ）

ε=(′?'●)))) Alas

(Sure enough, Tibbs knew it was like this...... So, there is no way, it has to trot behind the other party without a pair, even if it wants to not follow, who let it be the other party's dog leg now? But...... There was one thing that Tibbs did not tell his wretched little master, and that was that, according to the level of consumption in this ore town, it did the math, and did not think that the balance of less than 100,000 in the ranch account of its little master was enough to pay for the expansion of the house. ）

"But Tibbs, you say, the money that people have left now should be enough to expand, right?"

☆? (o*?ω?)?

(Sorry master, little one doesn't know...... ）

(●￣?￣●)

"I don't know this, I don't know either, Tiebs, tell me, what's the use of people raising you?!"

(?? ˇεˇ??)

（…… ）

(●￣?￣●)

(Tiebs didn't dare to retort, though he wanted to say: some nasty little girl hadn't raised it for a day?) Even if it was magically turned into a small earth dog, it was it that it went to find something to eat by itself every day, where did it ask her to raise it? ）

“！！”

(ー`′ー)

"Tibbs, are you thinking of anything bad about people?"

o(*｀ー′)o

(No!!) ）

! (;???) o

"Really?"

(???.???)????

Anne was a little unconvinced, and as she ran south from the wooden bridge at the edge of her farm, she turned to a small dirt dog behind her and squinted suspiciously.

Because she sensed it, some bad dog must be playing a bad idea or hiding something from herself! However, now she is busy looking for someone to expand the house and buy a stove and kitchen utensils, and she has no time to clean it up for the time being...... Wait, I'll be free in the future, and see if she can't clean it up!

No!

Least...... How many meals are going to take at least?!

(Not really!!) ）

?????? :Oh!

“……”

（????? ）

"Anyway, people think there is, then there must be!!"

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

Obviously, Tibbs's protest was invalid for Anne, she was just asking for confirmation, and since the other party did not admit it, there was no doubt that there must be! Therefore, she wrote this matter down in a small notebook first, and when she cleaned up the other party in the future.

"Yikes!!"

!？ (?''??)?

Suddenly, Anne, who crossed the bridge by the river and ran into the woods, almost hit her head on the thigh of an uncle just like she had bumped into the bespectacled Miss Mary in the library before!

However, fortunately, she was quick this time, and after seeing that the other party was an uncle she didn't know and didn't plan to get close to the other party, she hurriedly jumped to the side, narrowly allowing the other party to avoid being knocked over by her head.

"Huh?!"

"Hello ......"

"You...... You're supposed to be that Anne on the ranch, right? Why, looking at the way you almost fell just now, you weren't hurt, were you? ”

However, before Anne could speak, the uncle with his hat, uniform and tie asked Anne with a smile and concern.

"Huh?"

∑(′△｀)？！

"Uncle, who are you? Is it the kind of villain who specializes in kidnapping children in the woods? If that's the case, then you'd better be careful, because Tiebs, the dog, is very fierce, and they won't be afraid of you! ”

(*?′?`?)

After being blocked by the other party and causing herself to stop, Anne snorted coldly at the other party in a warning tone, ignoring the other party's smiling expression at all.

Because she knows that in such a wilderness place, if she encounters such a guy who laughs and takes the initiative to show goodwill, then she must be careful!

（…… ）

(￢?￢。 )

"Huh?"

The uniformed 'strange uncle' subconsciously glanced at the little milk dog behind Anne, and then added with a smile:

"Annie, you misunderstood......"

"I'm not a bad person, I'm a police officer in Ore Town, the only police officer, my name is Harris, I guess Mayor Thomas should have told you about me, right?"

When they met, they were treated as the kind of bad guy who was scheming against such a little girl, and Harris didn't know what to say...... Could it be that the police uniform he was wearing was fake? However, seeing that such a little fellow was so vigilant that he did not recklessly trust a stranger, Harris nodded with satisfaction.

Although they haven't had a criminal case in Ore Town for more than ten years, and the security environment is very good, such a little guy is a little more vigilant when he goes out, and it's always good to know that he doesn't trust strangers and how to protect himself, and he doesn't plan to correct this advantage of the other party too much.

"Officer Harris?"

(′??? `)

"People don't remember...... Anyway, I always feel that at this time, I don't feel like a good person when I meet a guy like you who is sneaking around in the woods and then wants to talk to a cute little girl like someone else! ”

s(?｀ヘ′?; )ゞ

Did the bad old man Thomas introduce this guy Anne really doesn't remember, because the other party said so much at the time, she felt very annoyed, and she didn't listen to a single sentence carefully, and how did she know who the old man said?

“！！”

"I'm not sneaking around, I'm on a routine patrol, and I'm about to go back to town through your ranch, I just came from the east road, and I walked around the back mountains and hot springs, and now I'm going to leave from here."

Shaking his head helplessly, Harris replied kindly in order not to let such a little guy think of himself as that sneaky bad guy.

"Patrolling at this time? Hot spring?! ”

(⊙o⊙*)

"Wow! People know, shouldn't you go to the hot springs to spy on Miss Pobley or Sister Lin taking a bath? You're a badass!! ”

!!! ∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

Yes, Anne has heard that Miss Perbley or Sister Lynn generally like to go to the hot springs at this time of day while no one is running, and now, this guy is also patrolling the hot springs at this time, so there must be nothing good!

"Nope! I didn't!! ”

"Anne ......"

"Don't talk nonsense! I was really on patrol, and I didn't go to the hot springs, where people were watching, and I couldn't get in, and the men's and women's baths were separated...... Also, what I like is Dirk's daughter Azo, even though she now lives in the city......"

"Anyway, I'm sure I won't like the little girls like Perbley or Lynn, and I won't peek at them in the shower, I promise !! with my reputation."

Harris suddenly felt tired, especially after a day of patrolling and meeting such a difficult little girl...... Moreover, what's even worse is that he can't explain it if he doesn't want to, otherwise the other party will run out and talk nonsense to others, so will he stay here in Ore Town anymore?

"You really didn't go to the hot springs to take a peek?"

(?? ω??)

"Not really!"

"I'm a police officer in Ore Town, how could I possibly do something like that? In fact, I'm the one who specializes in catching those bad guys!! ”

There was no way, seeing that the other party was still staring at him with that kind of suspicious look, Harris had to cheer up and pat his chest hard to reassure.

"Okay......"

(*^▽^*)

"People don't seem to look like that kind of bad person, so let you go for the time being!"

ヽ(⌒ω⌒)?

Anne won't tell the other party: she has long heard that the other party is telling the truth, and she just deliberately teased the other party! So, after saying that, she nodded directly, and continued to walk to the south of the woods with her dogleg Tiebus with her head held high.

（…… ）

ε=(′?'●)))) Alas

"Wait!"

"Anne, where are you going, aren't you going to the mountains to dig for mountain goods again? Today's sun is very big, maybe there are poisonous snakes, Zach was bitten a few days ago, you must pay attention to your feet! ”

Seeing that the other party was leaving, the police officer Harris, who didn't know whether the other party was going to the back mountain or the hot springs, asked vigilantly while concerned.

As a police officer in charge of the one-third of the land in Ore Town, of course Harris knew about some big things that a certain little girl had done, so he was a little worried, for fear that a certain little girl would do that kind of irrational thing to hollow out the back mountain, but others have no mountain goods to eat.

"Hah!"

? (?｀▽′)??

"People aren't as stupid as Uncle Zack! People don't have time to dig mountain goods now, and they are going to find Uncle Gotz for something! ”

(???? -)?

Anne said that the unlucky Uncle Zack, who had just taken two days off because he was bitten by a bee, and then had to take another four days off because he was bitten by a snake, and what happened to the other party had nothing to do with her, it was all because the other party was too stupid, so she would not feel guilty or unhappy.

（…… ）

(lll￢?￢)

"Oh!"

"That's good, then you go!"

"Don't worry, the security of our town is very good, you can live here with confidence, and you only need to be careful of those dangerous animals when you walk in the forest or the mountains, if you have any questions, you can directly contact me or the ranger Gotz, I believe you already know him, right?"

Harris was relieved to hear that the other party was looking for the guy from Gotz, and then when he saw that the other party just waved his hand with his back to him and did not answer, he exhaled and said no more, and walked straight north, intending to cross the other party's pasture, which must still be very run, and then return to the town.

Speaking of which, Harris was actually opposed to Mayor Thomas rushing to allocate the ranch to the other party without investigation, and now that he looks, his initial concern is indeed not unreasonable, because that little guy is too small, so he is indeed not a farmer...... It's been a week, and he passes by the other party's farm every day, and he hasn't seen the other party clear even a small piece of the field and try to grow any crops!

It seems that their second specialty of Ore Town, those delicious blessed agricultural products, will be re-shipped and branded by Ore Town, and it must be a long way off.

"Ahh

"I think I forgot to tell that little guy something......"

At this moment, Officer Harris, who had just taken a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, and hurriedly turned to look in the direction where one of the little guys had left while exclaiming.

But it's a pity that the little guy who just said a few words that made him so embarrassed has already jumped up and down and doesn't know where to go, where can he still see half of the other party's figure?

"Forget it!"

"Anyway, she can see for herself later, so let that nasty little guy run for nothing!"

After hesitating for a while, he was already tired from the day, and then Officer Harris, who felt that the little guy was a little unhappy with him, shook his head, and simply turned around and continued to patrol the ranch to the north.

……

Half an hour later, Anne arrived at the door of the big house in the woods built on the side of the road.

"Hello?"

? (ˊ〇ˋ*)?

"Is Uncle Gotz at home? People came to you today to have something to do!! ”

? (⊙o⊙*)?

However, Anne knocked on the door of the other party's house made of logs for a long time, only to find that the house was still quiet, and it did not look like someone was trying to open the door for her.

"Strange ......"

(ー`′ー)

"Aren't you home?"

(???.???)????

After knocking for a long time and not seeing anyone open the door for her, and the house was quiet, and even the lumber yard around the house with piles of lumber did not look like there were people, Anne had to turn around hesitantly and look at a small number next to the door.

"How can it be like this, it's Saturday?!"

(?? ω??? ‖)?

"I hate it! People came here on purpose~!!!! ”

?°(°ˉ?? ˉ?°)°?

Soon, a shrill wail from a little girl rang out in the grove to the south of the pasture, and flocks of birds flew away from the branches in terror, as if they had been frightened by some terrible presence.

Wail~!

Wail~! Croak~!
