Section 11

Aunt Susan patted her chest and rejoiced, but fortunately Annan was back. Annan was worried about Tasia's okay.

When he returned home, he saw the surviving old Zoren sitting in the courtyard, telling the story of how he was rescued by a big guy.

Annan asked if it was Tasia who saved him, and old Zoren stumbled and recalled: "I didn't pay attention, but the ...... who saved me It seems like...... Horned ......"

Tasia is fine.

Then Aunt Susan began to drive out old Zoren. Little Annan, who almost killed her, still wants to eat here?

Today's dinner was a bring-back roast and some washed wild vegetables, cooked together and served with brown bread.

Annan was still breaking the black bread and putting it in the broth, and Aunt Susan hurriedly finished the bread.

"Did you eat so fast?"

"The housework hasn't been done yet." Aunt Susan cleaned up the chores that had been piled up during the day.

"Susan ate faster when she was younger."

Uncle Hollin followed Aunt Susan out of the kitchen, remembering the time when Susan was so hungry that she swallowed a whole piece of brown bread years ago.

At that moment, Horin realized that he had to marry Susan.

"Aunt Susan was so ...... when she was young"

Annan has not yet learned the words fat and plump, but the charm of language is just the right amount of white space.

"Of course not, she used to be very thin." Horin recalls the girl he dug out of the pile of corpses, "At that time, we tried our best to survive......"

Right now...... Let's put it this way, as a woodcutter who lives in the town and has a house and a family, Hollin's physique is about the same as that of an ordinary professional, but standing next to Aunt Susan, he is like a monkey at the feet of a brown bear.

Annan ate very slowly, the brown bread was bran bread, and it was troublesome to see a doctor in this environment, so he could only chew very carefully, and chew slowly in what Aunt Susan called "aristocratic".

After dinner, washing the dishes and spoons with Martin, who was waiting to wash the dishes, Annan fell asleep in a modest town without a night life.

Early the next morning, Annan asked Aunt Susan to help him find a job with a daily salary. However, it was Uncle Hollin who helped him, and he found Annan a good job - he had a friend who was cleaning the stables for a certain Sir was sick, and Annan could do the work for him for two days, only cleaning the stables and feeding the horses.

Uncle Huo Lin ran to contact him early in the morning and agreed that Annan would replace him for two days, and the reward would be 30 copper coins.

Annan could go out alone, but Aunt Susan was still worried and asked Martin to send him there.

Passing through the bustling streets of Hirabayashi Town, a mansion with a completely different temperament from the town sits in the garden. The guards patrolling around were also noticeably more frequent than Aunt Susan's.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to have Uncle Hollin and Aunt Susan live in a big house like this." Martin muttered wistfully.

Bypassing the main entrance of the mansion, Annan saw the groom waiting for him, and asked Martin to follow the groom into the stable in the backyard when he returned.

There was no smell in the stables, and Annan did not have to do the most laborious work of feeding and washing the horses, except for the occasional cleaning of manure.

In his spare time, Annan admires the greenery and flowers of the garden, occasionally looking at the whitewashed walls of the mansion, imagining how much Jinnar can buy this garden mansion.

Of course, his favorite thing is to chat with the grooms.

But the groom didn't like it, so Annan became stunned and stared at the garden and the mansion in a daze.

In the afternoon, Annan's unfocused eyes suddenly fell to the silhouette that appeared on the terrace,

A long purple lace skirt frames her plump body, and her long wavy hair falls casually over her shoulders. The red lips under the erect bridge of the nose are stunning.

Annan thought she was familiar, and so did the woman on the terrace.

Annan was still smeared with ashes by Aunt Susan before going out, but her black hair was very recognizable.

Is this the fourth or fifth time you've met the Wine Lady?

It's just that the frowning vigilance destroys the fateful encounter in front of him: "You follow me? ”

However, it was a little far away, and Annan didn't understand it very well, and the interrogation that came with the wind became "you...... I? ”。

At the critical moment, Annan was blessed with a heartfelt reminder of Mr. Fast's teachings.

"Yes......"

The wine lady's eyebrows gradually stretched, and the corners of her lips curled. She remembered that the boy "claimed to be" and didn't know the lingua franca.

"Why are you here?"

This time Annan understood, picked up the pitchfork of horse manure from under the shed, and held it up for display.

"Mr. Fast is gone, I'm working!"

"I hope the next time I meet you won't be in my bedroom."

Annan understood half of it, guessed the other half, and said in his heart that I want to be a mage and not a thief.

Before she could say something more to Mr. Fast's "big boss", she turned away from the terrace. The wine lady left, and Annan had to go to the groom to continue practicing speaking.

The wine lady opened the door where there was a knock, and Sir Shaun said worriedly, "The servant said that there was a shout from your room, and I was afraid that something would happen." ”

"When I saw a familiar little guy, I sighed that there was no scenery outside the window."

"It's definitely not as good as Breeze City at the foot of the snowy mountains......" Sir Sean opened the door, followed by the wine lady, "familiar little guy?" ”

"A boy working around. I want to eat something. ”

Sir Shaun waved his hand and asked the servant to lead the wine lady to the dining room first. He went to the terrace, where the smell of perfume remained.

Look around the empty garden and the only stables you can see.

Leaving the terrace and the room, the man called to the butler: "Is there anything going on in the garden and the stables?" ”

"Uh...... A groom took a leave of absence yesterday and found a young man to take his place...... What's wrong sir? ”

"Nothing."

The man said nothing, but the housekeeper didn't think so. He hurried to the stables and shouted at the young man who looked up: "You ......"

Those clear eyes made the butler inexplicably swallow back to his usual meanness, and temporarily changed his words: "Unlucky fellow, Sir has found you, get out of here before he makes trouble for you." ”

The butler didn't know why Sir Sean was asking, he just didn't want to get into trouble.

Annan had no choice but to leave, where he had only been working for a few hours, and he did not even get his salary today.

The unjustified disaster he suffered was obviously related to the wine lady.

Without a job, Annan pondered where to make his money. The presence of spirits in taverns, coffee and tea in restaurants, and a few patches of glass full of impurities in even poor people's houses blocked Annan's idea of getting money by simple and easy means.

Gunpowder and paper? Annan didn't know if there was this world, and even if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to reproduce it...... However, there is a spell that is said to recall forgotten memories.

It's just that this forms a paradox: Annan has to become a mage to remember forgotten knowledge, and only by remembering forgotten knowledge can he have money to become a mage.

On the way back, Annan still looked at the library with a longing for knowledge, and the old man sitting in the sun behind the window.

For the next two days, Annan was forced to accompany Martin on his adventures in chasing wild dogs and woods. On the third day, Mr. Fast finally returned from the city.
