Chapter 10: A Different World I Don't Like
"Village Chief Luli, the house has been cleaned up." Aunt Asuna, who came out of the house after cleaning the house, broke the sudden silence between Lu Xi and Lu Li Village Chief.
Lu Xi glanced at Village Chief Lu Li, then turned his head and nodded at Aunt Asuna, "I'm sorry for you." ”
It's like I haven't heard what Village Chief Lu Li said.
"No trouble, no trouble." Aunt Asuna was a gentle-looking person, and after she glanced at the village chief of Luli, she turned her gaze to Lu Xi, maybe she knew Lu Xi's identity, maybe she didn't know.
As if she had suddenly noticed something, she suddenly raised her hand very enthusiastically and took the luggage on Lu Xi's back - to put it mildly, she should have taken the luggage off Lu Xi's back.
"Miss Lucy, I'll help you get your things in."
Village Chief Lu Li was still thinking about the glance that Lu Xi had just looked over, and when he heard this, he was suddenly startled, and his expression showed annoyance, and he found that he had ignored such a big problem, he followed Lu Xi all the way, and he didn't even take the initiative to help this noble lady with her luggage.
It was also Lu Xi's expression that had always been too natural, she didn't fully trust Village Chief Lu Li, and deliberately kept her distance, and Village Chief Lu Li didn't dare to observe Lu Xi too obviously because of Lu Xi's identity as a noble lady, so she subconsciously ignored the matter of luggage.
"No need to ......" Before the refusal was finished, the luggage on Lu Xi's back had been quickly picked up by Aunt Asuna, and her resistance was completely useless.
The village chief of Luli may have the awareness that nobles need to keep their distance, and they have always kept a suitable distance, but for Aunt Asuna, she has not undergone relevant education, and the most respectful way to think of people is to be good to people.
It's like the grandmothers on earth who see their children and grandchildren coming home from school.
It is extremely rude and unmeasured behavior for the aristocracy, but it is full of the simplest kindness and sincerity.
"It's pretty heavy." Aunt Asuna moved her arms up and down, slightly surprised by the weight of the luggage on Lu Xi's back, but didn't think much about it, and led Lu Xi into the house in front of her, introducing Lu Xi to the various functions of the house - the noble lady should not know these civilian things.
Lu Xi is not a real aristocratic lady, but she really doesn't understand these things.
The village chief of Luli did not follow, it would be rude for him to enter the room where the noble lady lived, and he needed to pay attention to these details in order not to leave a disaster for his village in the future.
Not far away, a half-grown boy trotted over, and when he was still far away, he shouted, "Father, I heard ......."
Before he finished speaking, Village Chief Luli interrupted him forcefully, "Ayina! I'll talk about it when I have something to say. ”
Hearing this, Ayina suddenly stopped, opened her mouth, and followed the sight of the village chief of Luli to Aunt Assuna's house, seemed to understand something, and scratched her head, "I know, father." ”
Village Chief Lu Li nodded, then turned around and spoke into the courtyard, "Miss Lucy, I'll leave first, if there is anything, you can call someone in the village to call me." ”
There was a loud "Okay" from the room. ”
Village Chief Luli left with his son, and when he had walked far enough to confirm that the voice could not be heard by Miss Lucy, Village Chief Luli turned his head and glared at Ayina, "When can you change your temperament, what if you collide with that young lady and make her angry?" ”
"So father, is that really a noble lady wandering in the wilderness? Just like in the story of McTon in the tavern, she was framed for fighting with her siblings, or uncles and aunts...... "Ayi's eyes shone as if they would glow, and after receiving permission to speak, she quickly spit out a large string of contents, and the head of the village chief began to ache when she heard it.
"Shut up!" The head of Luli Village has blue tendons on his head.
Ayina quickly closed her mouth, but her eyes were still full of gossip, and she looked like she wouldn't stop without getting an answer.
"That's just a noble lady who met a little 'little accident', she'll be out of here soon, don't you think to experiment with the stories you heard from McTon, it's all fake, it's made up by McTon to cheat the drink!"
The village chief of Luli had a great headache for his son, of course he knew that most of what McTon said was actually true, and it was something that the nobles really did, but he couldn't tell his son that.
Aina was a very practical young man, and Chief Luli was very worried about what he would do to upset Miss Lucy—a noble lady who could take out a whole gem.
The village chief of Luli didn't want Miss Lucy to leave, or stay for a few days, they could get more gems...... No, the idea is not right.
So after scolding him, the village chief of Luli began to explain the reason to Ayina.
"Miss Lucy, she doesn't care about revealing her identity." Referring to the generosity of taking out a gem.
"The aristocratic jewels, each with their name on them, and her willingness to pay for her stay here means that she is not worried that anyone will find her for it." Elemental magic is omnipotent, but to determine the ownership of a gem, you don't need elemental magic, you only need a purchase record to confirm the noble status of the gem.
"So, no one is chasing her! There was no conspiracy, she just met a little accident! Don't bother her! Village Chief Lu Li repeated viciously, with such a son, there is nothing he can do.
"Oh, okay." Aina didn't look like she had given up, her bright eyes turning one idea after another.
"Hurry up and finish the things that those mercenary masters have explained, they have given a lot of money." Village Chief Luli waved his hand to drive people away, and used other things to separate Ayina, not wanting to continue to see his son, who gave him a headache.
"Got it, father. Those mercenary masters are really generous, and they give them a few silver dollars, I don't know what Jin Yuanna looks like, do the mercenary masters have gold yuan, if only we could have more mercenary masters in our village. Ayina responded energetically, casually said her thoughts, and trotted away.
Leaving the village chief Luli alone, he muttered to himself, "Yes, it would be nice to have more mercenary masters." ”
……
Lu Xi was packing his luggage in the house.
Although the house has not been inhabited for a long time, it is not dirty and messy, nor is it stuffy, obviously Aunt Asuna usually cleans it well and often ventilates it.
Seeing the things that Lu Xi took out of her luggage, Aunt Asuna was shocked.
A straw mat made of straw stalks, a blanket sewn from rabbit skin, and a quilt made of skirt cloth filled with a layer of bird feathers.
In comparison, pots made of tree bark and chopsticks made of tree trunks are nothing.
"It's ...... As for the knitting method which I have never seen before, it is very strong. Aunt Asuna stroked the straw mat, glanced at Lu Xi, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lowered her head completely and did not say anything more.
This kind of straw mat is simple to weave, the material requirements are low, but there are many uses, especially in a civilian village like Kuva, which can provide many conveniences in their daily life, and Aunt Asuna knows how many places can be used just by looking at it.
Lu Xi was not surprised that there was no such weaving method in the other world, after all, the simpler the thing, the more difficult the process of being created.
"This weaving method is very simple and you can learn it." Lu Xi thought for a moment and spoke.
In fact, there is no teaching for this kind of thing, basically you can know how to weave it at a glance, there is no difficulty, the reason why Aunt Asuna wants to stop talking is because this straw mat weaving method comes from Lu Xi, and Lu Xi is a noble lady.
In other words, this straw mat, including the weaving method, belongs to the property of a noble lady, and if someone secretly uses this weaving method, it is an infringement of the property of a noble lady, and it can be convicted.
Lu Xi thought of this, so she said, "You can learn", which is equivalent to recognizing the qualifications used by Aunt Asuna.
"Thank you! Merciful Miss Lucy, may the god of light protect you......" Aunt Asuna was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and muttered a bunch of blessings.
Lu Xi didn't know what to answer, so he changed the topic and took the initiative to pick up the rabbit fur blanket, "This ......"
"This blanket is so poorly sewn." Aunt Asuna reacted very quickly and took over, and subconsciously commented.
"Well, I didn't have a lot of tools at hand......" Lu Xi explained dryly, she still removed the thread on her clothes before sewing them on.
"Oh no, I didn't mean that, Miss Lucy." Aunt Asuna reacted suddenly, covered her mouth, and cautiously made up for it.
"Can I clean it for you and sew it again?"
Lu Xi ...... silently, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." Aunt Asuna smiled, Lu Xi had a place to get her, let her relax a lot, otherwise she would only feel uneasy when she took the straw mat weaving method.
"This quilt ......" Aunt Asuna opened her eyes again, she had never seen a large stitch that could reach out and enter with one hand.
"I'm sorry for you." Lu Xi stopped struggling and spoke with a wooden face.
In fact, that opening was torn open when she later stuffed the bird feathers into it, but the other stitches were indeed not small, and she was embarrassed to explain them again.
He handed over a few birds hunted by Xiaoyuan to Aunt Asuna to deal with, Lu Xi didn't expect that Aunt Asuna was not surprised at all about the origin of the birds.
Just like Lu Xi's identity as a noble lady, she naturally has some kind of ability to do this.
Lu Xi didn't ask this question, and instead mentioned another thing, "Can you help me find clean clothes, and some hot water, I want to wash my body." ”
"No problem, I'll go and prepare it for you." Aunt Asuna looked like she had just thought of this, and hurriedly left the house with a large pile of things.
Lu Xi reorganized his personal belongings, thinking about whether Xiao Yuan would be discovered and whether he would encounter any danger, when there was a sudden noise in the courtyard.
Before she could go out to check on the situation, Aunt Asuna pushed open the door and walked in, holding two sets of clean clothes in her hands.
"It's a bit of a hassle to boil water, I just called the village boys to help, they're piling firewood in the yard, if you think they're noisy, I'll let them go to the next door to make a fire." Aunt Asuna first explained the sound of the courtyard and silently observed Lu Xi's reaction.
"It's fine." Lu Xi shook her head, she knew that it was not easy for civilians to boil water and take a bath every day, but she didn't expect to make such a big noise.
Seeing that Lu Xi really didn't mind, Aunt Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and handed the clothes in her hand to Lu Xi, "Miss Lucy, this is the new clothes of Aina and Jenny next door, they haven't been worn yet, they are clean." ”
The clothes were sewn with bright and beautiful flowers, and although there was only a little color on the whole dress, you could still see the care of the person who sewed the clothes.
Those two girls...... Probably they want to keep these two new clothes and wear them on an important occasion, how long have they been looking forward to this?
"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Lu Xi lowered his eyes, hid all his thoughts, and took his clothes with a smile.
"Then I'll go back to work first, you can just call me if you have something, I'm in the next room, I can hear you as soon as you speak." Aunt Asuna is a neat character, and she is anxious to get Luxi's affairs done, and she leaves very quickly.
Lu Xi looked at Aunt Asuna's back and gradually withdrew his gaze.
This is really a world that she doesn't like.
Lu Xi walked to the door of the house and looked into the yard, where a layer of firewood was piled up in the middle of the yard, and two teenage boys were still carrying it inside.
On both sides of the yard, buckets of water were placed, and a few younger and older boys carried the freshly drawn water to the yard.
In Aunt Asuna's house next to her, the kitchen door was open, and two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, one adding water to the pot, and the other adding firewood to the bottom.
Everyone is busy, except for Lu Xi himself.
"Miss Lucy!" After looking at Lu Xi for a long time, a boy finally found Lu Xi when he looked up, and greeted Lu Xi with a bright smile.
The sound alarmed the others, and everyone in the courtyard looked up to say hello to Lu Xi, and for a while, the words "Miss Lucy" came and went in the courtyard.
Lu Xi didn't know them, so he could only nod his head slightly in response, no one cared about the perfunctory response of her response, but was overjoyed that she had responded.
One of the two girls who were boiling the water came over, "Miss Lucy, Aunt Asuna has asked us to serve you in the bath." ”
After speaking, she introduced herself, "My name is Aina, and she is Jenny. ”
Lu Xi knew that he was the owner of the two clothes.
Aina is a very tall girl, even if Lu Xi is already 1.75 meters tall, Aina is still a lot taller than her, estimated to be more than 1.8 meters, and her healthy wheat-colored skin makes her look different vitality.
Jenny, who was still burning the fire, couldn't see her head, but she was obviously a little more "ladylike" than Aina, with fairer skin, and she looked like a quieter girl.
"I'll help you clean the tub, and the water will boil in a while." Aina didn't need Lu Xi's instructions to do anything, so she had the foresight to do everything she had to do.
