In the end, Annie still couldn't buy the seeds necessary for farming on her own pasture...
Because she has no money now!
With only a miserable number '0G' left on the ranch's account, it must be that no one is willing to give her this stranger who has just been in Ore Town for his second day and looks a little unreliable. It's on credit! So, when gold couldn't be spent as money and wasn't worth much, she didn't want to be driven away by Mayor Thomas, an old man with a bad nose, for a variety of unqualified reasons, so she could only make a resolute decision: herself Think of a way to make money yourself?
So, Annie had to set off in the end, and after eating and drinking in the little sister Lin's shop, she went to the back mountain to kill!
She remembered that Uncle Zach also told her that there were many valuable things in the back mountain, that is, those 'mountain goods' that could be collected and sold when funds were insufficient?
so……
In order to save her family's ranch account, which was almost on the verge of bankruptcy, she had to do something.
"??"
(°ー°〃)
"This is the right road, it should be not far ahead, right?"
♪～o(▽｀o)=3=3=3
The mountain behind Ore Town is also called Our Lady's Mountain. It is said that you go south from the pasture that Annie just acquired, cross the small river that draws water, and then pass through a small area with a wooden house and a woodcutter living there. The woods are here!
There are two mountain roads on the southwest side of the grove, one leading to hot springs and waterfalls. There, residents of Ore Town can take a free dip in the magical hot springs that are said to restore physical strength and relieve fatigue when they are tired. Go dig in the mine beside the spring, and even throw tribute into the small lake beside the waterfall, and then you can meet the legendary goddess?
However, over the years, as the lives of the residents of Ore Town have gotten better day by day, people have rarely gone to the mines to dig. Similarly, the residents of Ore Town, who live a harmonious life and don't have many needs, rarely take the initiative to visit the goddess, because they all know that even visiting or offering tributes is of little use, and the goddess generally does not Easily satisfy any of their wishes.
Therefore, Annie, who didn’t want to go mining and didn’t know how to dig, and didn’t want to talk to the goddess Lao Shizi, naturally walked towards the back mountain of the Notre Dame Mountain... It is said that there are fishes on the edge of the big lake there in all seasons. There are a lot of mountain goods, and for a guy like her who squandered all her money on the first day she accepted the ranch, the kind of place where she can pick up valuable things as long as she takes the time is the most suitable for her. This is where your strengths come into play.
"..."
(ー`´ー)
"Hey! Tibbers, tell me, these unique things should be those wild beasts they are talking about, right?"
(*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ艹
The back mountain of Mineral Town is not far away. Little Annie soon arrived at the lakeside of Mineral Town's back mountain and didn't pay attention to the very big lake. It was said that there were kappas living in the lake and there was a mine in the center of the lake. However, The lake could only be entered in winter, so she ran to the lake alone and began to search around. Soon, her hard work paid off, and she actually found several blue clovers.
Then, he ran up to him and pulled one out and looked at it carefully for a while. He saw that the three-leaf green grass was obviously blue but for some reason was described by Sister Lin as a three-leaf green grass that could be sold for a hundred grams. She pulled out the thing and looked at it carefully, and casually asked Tibbers, a certain dogleg that she had used magic to turn into a "real dogleg".
'Woof~! '
ꉂʕᓀꇴᓂʔ
(Tibbers ignored it. He just barked at his bad little master, indicating that he didn’t know, because he was just a miserable dog now, and the dog definitely wouldn’t and couldn’t. , and you shouldn’t talk, even in private!)
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"Forget it! I won't ask you, stupid guy! Anyway, these grasses look quite special, and there are only a few here. They are completely different from the dense and messy weeds around. This must be it. !”
o(´▽｀)o=3=3=3
After saying that, after temporarily receiving the blue 'green grass' in a certain area in her space bag and storing it in categories, Annie began to run forward and collect all the 'green grass' she saw. ’ He pulled them all out and threw them all into his bag.
"Hey hey hey..."
(„ಡωಡ„)
Annie didn't care whether it was green grass or blue grass. Anyway, she only knew that she had just pulled out six of them. When she returned, she would throw them into the shipping box and the big guy Zach would definitely pay her. Six multiplied by one hundred, that is six hundred G of small money, which is enough for her to have a meal worth five hundred G at Uncle Dart and Miss Lin's shop.
"Wow!!"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"Tibbers, look, there seems to be a lot more here, let's put them all away!!"
ε=εε=ε=‾͟͟͞(((๑✪ꇴ✪)o
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"Eh?"
∑(´△｀)? !
"Are those flowers? They should be the moon-tears flowers, right? No matter, maybe they can be sold for money, so just keep them all!"
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
"Twigs?"
⊙(・◇・)?
"No matter! Pick it up!!"
٩(ˊ〇ˋ*)و
"Tricolor flower? Pull it out!!"
₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎
"That is……"
|ू･ω･`)?
"Wow! Tibbers, look, they are bamboo shoots, there are a lot of them!!"
౧(*മ്ധമ്)੭ु⁾⁾
Soon, Annie, who was searching by the lake, finally discovered a certain bamboo forest that Uncle Zach and her sister Lin had mentioned before, and successfully discovered around the bamboo forest those worth five that are said to only emerge in spring. Ten gigabytes of bamboo shoots, so she stretched out her hand without thinking, and a mage's hand uprooted them and put them in her bag.
“There’s more over there!!”
ヾ(^▽^*)))⁼³₌₃⁼³₌₃
After ten minutes, the bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest and all the bamboo forests in the back mountain suffered disaster... Because compared to other green grasses that are difficult to find hidden in the weeds, those patches of bamboo forest are too obvious. a little!
but……
When all the bamboo shoots in the back mountain of the entire Ore Town, and those mountain products that others might not be able to dig in a day, suffered and were uprooted by an unreasonable little girl, the remaining green grass and those messy flowers He also suffered a disaster, everything was taken away after being automatically searched and marked by some bad little girl using magic!
As a result, the arduous workload that other Ore Town residents might not be able to complete for several days was completed by Annie in less than an hour! She, by herself, swept away all the wild products in the mountains behind the entire Ore Town. She even pulled out all the wild flowers, leaving nothing behind for others.
"Done!"
❤(ˆ⌣ˆc)
"Tibbers, look at it, it seems to be quite easy to make money. It doesn't take much effort to get all the goods!"
☆⌒(*＾-゜)vTHX!!
Although she didn't know how many wild goods she had gotten in the back hills of Ore Town in this hour, Annie only knew that there were a lot of bamboo shoots, green grass, moon tears and tricolor in her bag. Flowers, she must be able to make a lot of money with them as she wins by quantity, right?
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"Butterfly? Don't run!!"
o(*｀ー´)o
Suddenly, a butterfly floated in front of Annie, and with quick eyes and quick hands, she stretched out her hand and caught it.
"Um……"
(｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
"Tibbers, tell me, can butterflies be considered wild goods and can be sold for money? Forget it, I won't ask you, because you don't know anyway!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
After saying that, Annie stuffed the butterfly into her bag, planning to throw it directly into the shipping box in the ranch, where Uncle Zach said it would be used by a certain 'goddess' Blessed by divine power, it can hold countless goods, and the shipping box will never be full no matter how much it is filled.
(…)
(^㉨^;)ゞ
(However, Tibbers knows that things like butterflies cannot be sold for money... However, he saw that his bad little master had already received it in his bag, and saw that the other party started to start with great interest. Searching for the next 'prey', it wisely said nothing.)
"What did I step on... Wow! Is it a snake?!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"Catch him!!"
(•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖°
A little green snake was lying on the lawn leisurely and basking in the spring sun. However, when it was accidentally stepped on by a naughty little girl, it was frightened and was about to use it. While using his fangs to teach the other person how to be a good person... the little girl quickly dodged it with her eyes and feet, and then grabbed its tail, and after shaking it skillfully for a few times, she no longer had the strength to move. He moved and was thrown into a bag with infinite space.
"monkey……"
+
"No matter! All the people living in the mountains are wild beasts, take them away!!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)⊃--*⋆ All petrified!
Since even innocent snakes and butterflies have suffered, then a certain wild monkey that is eating young leaves on a tree and dares to grin at her will definitely not be able to escape from Little Annie's clutches! So, it was soon hit by a petrification spell and fell straight to the ground. Annie regarded it as an authentic 'mountain product' and received it in her evil space bag.
"Well……"
(°ー°〃)
"I don't know if Kappa is worth anything..."
(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
Yes, Annie is now starting to catch the attention of a certain kappa again... However, Annie heard from Sister Lin that the scary thing like the kappa only comes out when it throws cucumbers into the lake? And if he throws something else away, he will definitely not come out?
But now, there is no such cucumber in Annie's backpack, and even if there is, she will definitely not throw it into the lake!
"Forget it!"
(*˘︶˘*).:*❤
"Things like kappa that live in the water are definitely not wild animals. They probably can't be sold for money. Let's let him go for the time being!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
After hesitating for a while, Annie felt that the kappa should be like a certain 'goddess', a supernatural being in this world. Finally, she gave up the idea of attacking the lake and forcing a certain kappa to show up and then capture the other person. Plan to ship it.
Although it is true that she can easily catch that kind of weak and weak guy, but no one will or dare to spend money to buy a guy like that, so forget it for now!
"I found so many mountain products today, it should be fine, right?"
(๑╹ヮ╹๑)
At this time, Annie, who had been causing trouble for the back hill of Ore Town for a long time, was finally ready to go home, because there seemed to be nothing to dig or catch here, and she hadn't seen it yet.
"Let's go! Tibbers, we can go back!!"
ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
Now, Annie has wiped out all the mountain goods near the back mountain lake, and not even a branch that fell to the ground was spared!
Therefore, Annie, who felt that she had gained a lot today and that she could become more fulfilled through labor, turned around and left after saying hello to a certain asshole.
"!!"
ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?
"Wait! There...it seems to be a wild dog? Wild dogs should be considered wild animals and can be sold for money, right?"
ヾ(´･･｀｡)ノ
However……
Annie, who had just left the lake, suddenly saw a puppy appearing in the distance. It looked like an ownerless dog without a collar?
"Stop! Do you dare to run? Tibbs, come on, catch it, take it back and ship it!!"
ε٩(๑⌓̈๑)۶⁼³₌₃
How could Annie, who could only think about finding mountain goods and shipping goods to make money, allow a living mountain goods to escape from her eyes? Therefore, when she saw that the other person was frightened by her look and ran into the dense forest in the back mountain with his tail between his legs, she angrily shouted and ordered to a certain dog leg that was following her listlessly.
(???)
∑(´㉨｀)? !
(However, Tibbs did not act... because he knew that a wild dog was definitely not a wild dog, and it would definitely not be sold for money if caught, and it was unwilling to do such stupid things, so it still stood indifferently. On the side, wagging the little tail that has always puzzled him.)
"!!"
(ಠ╭╮ಠ)
"What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and chase it? If you can't catch it, don't come back tonight!!"
↜(ψ｀Van′)┌┛★)`㉨゜)
Seeing that a certain 'stupid dog' dared to ignore her orders, Anne of course was not going to be polite to the other party. She kicked it hard and kicked it so hard that the wild dog ran away and disappeared. In the grass...
'Ouch~! ! '
｡°(°¯᷄㉨¯᷅°)°｡
A whimper sounded, and a certain unlucky dogleg quickly disappeared into the same patch of grass...
'! ! '
'What's that sound over there, who's over there? '
At this time, someone seemed to be passing by in the distance. After hearing the movement here, he ran over quickly and exclaimed. Soon, he saw someone standing in such a deserted suburb. Little girl in the wild.
"Huh? Who are you?"
"Ah! I remember it. A little girl of eight or nine years old in a red dress with blond hair and blue eyes... You should be the little girl who just moved to the ranch, Annie, right?"
A dirty old man carrying an ax and with a beard on his face walked up to Anne, and after looking at Anne curiously for a while, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes! She is that little girl!"
(*^▽^*)
"But, uncle, who are you? I don't seem to have seen you in the town..."
٩(⊙o⊙*)و
Annie has indeed never met the other party, although she may not have met all the people in Ore Town.
"You just arrived, of course you haven't seen him before."
"That's right, my name is Gotz. I am a carpenter. I now live in the woods south of Ore Town."
The bearded uncle began to introduce himself.
"But, little guy, what are you doing here? I seemed to hear some strange noise just now..."
After saying that, the carpenter Gotz looked around, because he seemed to have heard the whimpering of some kind of animal just now, so he ran over following the sound.
"I just collected mountain goods here to make money, and I didn't hear any strange noises! Maybe my puppy Tibbers accidentally scratched some thorns?"
(^_−)☆
"So that's it, are you here to dig for mountain goods?"
"coincidence!"
"I actually plan to dig some bamboo shoots to eat with stir-fried meat. Bamboo shoots at this time are the tenderest of the year, and they won't be available in summer, so I also want to dig a few to prepare."
One bamboo shoot was so big that it was almost enough for Gotz, who was now single again, to eat for several days! Therefore, if he digs a few and takes them back today, in addition to enough for him to eat in the spring, he can also use them to make sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, which he can save for summer, autumn and winter.
Anyway, this is how he lives every year.
Since both his wife and daughter died in mountain disasters, in order to prevent others from having the same misfortune happen again, he spontaneously asked Harris to let him patrol the mountains. In addition to doing carpentry work, patrolling the mountains and driving away wild animals, he , I will also get some mountain products to improve my life, such as mountain bamboo shoots in spring, wild grapes in summer, mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms in autumn, etc.
"ah……"
(“▔□▔)
"??"
"Little guy, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the other party's expression suddenly became a little strange, the carpenter uncle Gotz asked strangely. After all, he is the patrol and ranger of the back mountain. If the other party has anything to do here, he will definitely be happy to provide any help he can.
"No! It's nothing!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Annie would not tell the other party: She had just dug up all the wild products nearby. The other party would definitely not be able to dig down a single bamboo shoot in the back mountain.
"alright!"
"Little guy, since you're fine, I have to go and get busy. Don't drive alone into the dense forest in the future, and don't leave too far from the road. It's not very safe here... Also, all the houses on the ranch have just been renovated. The place you live in is indeed a bit small. If you want to renovate your house in the future, just tell me. As long as you can afford the money, I will be happy to renovate your house to make it beautiful!"
"That's it for now. Goodbye, Annie!"
Although he really wanted to talk to the other party about the specific matters of renovating the house, but thinking about the other party's current situation and knowing that the other party must not have much money, Gotz smiled, gave up the idea that he could make a fortune, and turned to Wave at the other person and prepare to leave.
"Uh-huh!"
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)
"Goodbye, Uncle Gotz..."
ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
After saying that, Annie quickly turned around and ran back.
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
She would not tell the other party that today all the spring bamboo shoots in the back mountain were dug up by herself. It would be useless for the other party to carry that big ax and he would definitely not be able to dig anything!
Maybe the other party can only wait until tomorrow?
However, if these mountain goods are indeed valuable, then the other party will not be able to dig them out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and she will definitely come here to patronize them every day!
