It was almost afternoon, and the light in the sky hung above everyone's heads, selflessly radiating light. The three-story building in front of me is planted next to a tall Pumi tree, as if the two are nestled against each other.

Jiang Heng walked up the three steps at the door, looked up at the door frame, and the words "Enforce the law fairly, uphold justice" hung there, which was the oath that every sheriff who graduated from the academy would make under the imperial flag. Looking at these big words, Jiang Heng couldn't help but recall his appearance at that time, and showed a self-deprecating smile.

These words are not so easy to do, and I was a month ago, but now I think back on it a little stupid.

"Hey, why are you standing here smirking if you don't go in yet?" An unceremonious voice came from behind Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng looked back and saw Lottie walking slowly from the other side of the square. "Why are you moving so slowly? It's only here now. ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's just that the townspeople on the road are too welcoming. Lottie walked to Jiang Heng's side and followed Jiang Heng's gaze just now and saw those big words.

"I was reading the manifesto, alas, I have been here for a year before I know it, and now I really think that I looked stupid when I took the oath more than a year ago. ”

It seems that the memories of the second middle school are the common slot of every bohemian teenager and girl.

Lottie tilted her head, "But I'm sure you'll love this town when you stay here." ”

"Alright, let's stop standing at the door, let's go inside, and I'll introduce you to our security station. After speaking, he walked directly into the door, "Aunt Rona, we are back, is lunch ready?"

"Little Lottie, lunch has already been prepared, why did you come back so late?" At this time, a woman dressed as a maid in her forties walked out of a side door in the main hall.

Visually measuring a height of 1.6 meters, her red hair is mixed with a little white, her dark skin and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes show signs of time, she is dressed in an old brown maid dress with a kind and kind smile on her face.

"This is the new sheriff, right?" Rona saw Jiang Heng. "That's right," Lottie pointed at Jiang Heng and said to Lorna, "This guy is the new sheriff, my junior, and his name is Jiang Heng." The one next to him is called Mesha, and she is this guy's maid, after all, she is from a noble background, and her independent living skills are definitely not good. Although I'm still quite unaccustomed to this aspect. ”

Then he introduced Aunt Luo Na to Jiang Heng, "You also know that the sheriff's usual work is still quite busy, in order to take care of the sheriff's daily life, so each security station will arrange personnel to take care of it, and Aunt Luo Na is the 'elder' of our Shire Town Security Office!"

At this time, Lottie put her hands around Aunt Rhona's neck and lay her whole body on her back, like a spoiled kitten. and the violent behavior of the tigress just now, judging the two of them.

Jiang Heng faced Aunt Luo Na according to the etiquette of the nobles, put his right hand into a fist lightly on his chest, half bent over, and made a salute, "Ms. Luo Na, my name is Jiang Heng, I hope we can get along amiably in the future." ”

Although I don't like these red tapes, I still can't lose etiquette outside.

And Meisha still lifted the hem of her skirt and performed a skirt salute when a maid met with guests, "Dear Lady Rona, I am the young master's faithful servant, Meisha." I hope I can take care of the young master and the sheriffs with you in the future."

"What, you're a nobleman!" Aunt Lorna looked shocked, "Aunt Lorna, you don't have to be afraid, nobles are nothing remarkable, let alone this kid ......"

Lottie suddenly thought of something again, and asked Jiang Heng, "You haven't told me what kind of title you are, and you nobles all have surnames, right?"

It's really an afterthought, and this kind of problem should be understood before you come.

"Senior Lottie, I don't actually have a knighthood, the title of nobility belongs only to my father, who is a knight. Jiang Xing said with a serious face.

Knights are the lowest class of nobility.

"As for my surname," Jiang Heng looked a little hesitant, "Sam, my full name is Jiang Heng Sam. ”

"I haven't heard of this surname, and it seems that your family is just a small nobleman, but it's no wonder that you were assigned to our place. "Lottie had a 'I see' look on her face.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, Aunt Rona, I'm dying of hunger, what are you going to eat today?"

"Ah, eat fruit rice porridge and tree flour today. ”......

The kitchen is at the back of the hall, separated only by a layer of purple gauze. Lottie, Jiang Heng, Meisha, and Aunt Rona sat around the table.

Jiang Heng looked curiously at the bowl of porridge and a plate of bread in front of him. It is boiled with fruit rice, which is brown and transparent, exuding a fragrance. Tree flour is baked with tree flour, and each one is the size of a bowl.

And Lottie and Aunt Rona stared at Meisha sitting next to Jiang Heng with concerned eyes.

Feeling the gaze of the two, "What's wrong?" Meisha asked.

"I thought," said Lottie, in a tone of slight exclamation, "that maids usually serve by their master's side during meals." ”

"It's true that ordinary aristocrats are, but our family, small nobles, don't pay so much attention to it, and a few people sit together to eat, isn't it good to be happy. Jiang Heng replied nonchalantly, scooping a spoonful of fruit rice porridge with the spoon in his hand and sending it to his mouth.

"That's right, you, a junior, are quite different from other nobles. Lottie had an appreciative smile on her face. is still talking about seniority, how long has this Miss Lottie been thinking about her senior?

Aunt Rona was more concerned about the other question, "How does it feel, is it still to your taste?" her tone was a little nervous.

"Well, it's pretty good, much better than I expected. A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Heng's face.

At home, he has drunk all kinds of porridge, and even made it himself, among which there are many practical porridge made of cheap ingredients, after all, his father's education requires bittersweet memories, but such an ordinary bowl of fruit and rice porridge-

The clear soup is watery, the taste is the same as chewing wax, and even I bit a grain of sand just now, sure enough, even if it is the same ingredient, the same dish made by different people tastes different, but-

This simple and simple taste, Jiang Heng suddenly felt very nostalgic, as if it hit the deepest part of Jiang Heng's soul, reminding him of him in his dream, and the other porridge he seemed to drink every morning.

Holding back the emotion in his heart, Jiang Heng began to keep putting the fruit rice porridge into his mouth, spoonful after spoonful, for a total of two spoonfuls, he saw that Lottie had already drunk the entire bowl.

What the hell! I've only drunk a tenth of it, and you're done!

"The sheriff can't eat like you, there is a lot of work, you can get it done first, and I will arrange it for you." Lottie spoke in an educational tone.

After lunch, Jiang Heng and Meisha dragged their suitcases and followed Lottie to the second floor, "There are six rooms on the second floor, four bedrooms, a medicine room, a storage room, and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Lottie explained one by one along the room, "Your room is there, the second one on the right." ”

After Jiang Heng pushed open the door that was almost the same as the other rooms, he saw the room where he would live in the future.

The whole bedroom is about 40 square meters, there is no extra furniture, the first glance you can see a simple wooden bed in the center of the room, two bedside tables are placed on both sides of the bed, four simple floor lamps are distributed in the four corners of the room, there is a large wardrobe in the southwest corner, there is a door opposite it, which should be the entrance to the bathroom. At the farthest point, there is a large six-square-meter window that looks directly out on the town square. Close to the window, a bookshelf, a desk, and nothing else.

"In a rural place like ours, there are not many others, so the place is bigger. Lottie said to Jiang Heng with a big grin, "I don't care what kind of place you lived in before, but in the future, you can only live in such an environment." No problem, right?"

Jiang Heng replied with a smile, "Of course there is no problem, I think it is much better than expected." Lottie looked strange, "It's expected again, how bad is the town of Shire that you expected?"

Jiang Heng could only laugh, I'm not here to be polite!

"Forget it, you hurry up and pack your own luggage, and hurry downstairs after you are done, and I will show you about the work of the sheriff. Lottie seemed to think of something again, and said to Mesa in a slightly apologetic tone, "By the way, we don't have a room for you here, or you can squeeze it with me." ”

Meisha smiled and said she didn't care, "Thank you Miss Lottie for your concern, but it doesn't matter, I just discussed it with Aunt Rhona, and I'll live with her downstairs." ”

"That's good, you guys hurry up and pack up, I'll go down first. By the way, change your outfit, we don't deserve your clothes here, it's too unfriendly. "What can Jiang Heng do? This purple windbreaker is his second favorite clothes, and it seems that he will only be dusty here in the future.

After Lottie finished speaking, she went downstairs, leaving only Jiang Heng and Meisha.

"I'm going to live here from now on. This was a new experience for Jiang Heng, just as he reached out to open his suitcase, Meisha snatched it, "Young master, leave this kind of thing to me, you go and learn about your future work with Miss Lottie, the sooner you understand, the better." ”

"Well, well. ”......

Jiang Heng, who had changed into a 'pro-people' civilian clothes, and Lottie walked on the street.

"So you're going to let Meisha and her girl clean up alone?" Walking on the streets of Shire Town, Lottie stared at Jiang Heng with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Actually, it's not that I can't do it, and it's not that I don't want to do it, but every time I do it, I'm stopped by Mesa, and she's better than me, and I'm only in the way there. Jiang Heng's face was straightforward.

"Forget it, I suddenly feel like you're quite thick-skinned. ”

In the next two hours, Lottie introduced Jiang Heng to the shops on both sides, the residents, and even the cultural landscape, customs and anecdotes, and even strange and strange stories about the streets they passed by.

"Our job is to protect our town from dangers, such as monsters, thieves, and because we're on the borders of the country, we're on the lookout for invading Inhumans or humanoids, serving as a warning to the Empire. When they walked to a relatively cold path, Lottie began to popularize these common sense to Jiang Heng.

"At the same time, because there is no such thing as a mayor in the town, we also have to work part-time to deal with civil disputes, mediate family conflicts, and protect public property. All of this, we are responsible for. Lottie looked noble.

Jiang Heng suddenly felt that he was not being a sheriff, but a city manager and security guard.

At this moment, a shop with a more elaborate decoration than other stores appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, "Huh? Lottie sighed.

"Up front is Sister Aelrita's grocery store. She turned her head to Jiang Heng and said, "Sister Aelita came to our Shire Town five years ago, although she is not an aborigine, she is more enthusiastic than anyone else in our place. By the way, she's also Sugardrop's guardian. ”

"Does it mean that Sugar Bead lives there?" Jiang Heng asked. Wherever there is a shop in Shire Town, it is basically connected to the house, with the shop in front and the house in the back.

"That's right, and," Lottie said that there was no one left and right, and quickly lowered her head and whispered to Jiang Heng, "No matter what she says later, you don't want to buy anything." ”

Jiang Heng was quite curious, "Why?" "Don't ask more," Lottie looked serious, "The experience of the people who came over." ”

"Well, isn't that little Lottie?" a warm voice came from the front of the two, and a slender woman in a pink dress, who looked no more than thirty, came from the grocery store.

"Ah, Miss Elita!" Lottie quickly straightened up.

"What are you doing? God is mysterious. Not to mention that, thank you for sending me the candy beads today, this kid is so worrying. ”

"By the way, Sister Aelita, this is what I told you about our new sheriff in Shire Town, Jiang Heng, who also saved Sugar Bead. ”

When Alita heard this, she hurriedly walked in front of Jiang Heng and grabbed his arms with both hands, shaking her up and down vigorously, "Thank you so much, young man, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what would have happened to our sugar beads today." As a thank you, in the future, if you come to me to buy any goods, you will be 75% off. ”

Jiang Heng struggled to break free from Sister Aelrita's warm way of thanking, "Thank you, Sister Aleita, these are what I should do." ”

"Sister Aelita, I still want to take Jiang Heng to get familiar with our town, so I'll leave first!" After speaking, Lottie hurriedly grabbed Jiang Heng's arm, wanting to drag him away.

"By the way, Lottie, we've just got a new batch here. ”......

"Lottie, look at this purple stone necklace, but this year's most fashionable new style in Biyan City, if you wear it, it will be really charming. ”

"Don't! take it out of my eyes, don't let me see it!"

"And this one, this is a style designed by the fashion master Michelle himself, the most beautiful hot monsoon, are you interested in trying it?"

"Please, Miss Aelita, let me go!" ......

Looking at Lottie holding a lot of jewelry that I don't know if it was useful, wailing and crying sadly, Jiang Heng can be regarded as understanding what "the experience of the people who have come over" means?

Just as Jiang Heng started to wander around Sister Alita's grocery store with nothing to do, his eyes were attracted by a string of black bracelets, "This is ......"
