Although, this is not the first day that Anne has lived in this small wooden house, but if you think about it seriously, this is indeed the first time that she has used a serious look at this house that was owned by someone else for free. A matching building to match the ranch given to her!
It's just that, maybe I didn't think anything of it before, but now I'm looking at it, a certain troubled little girl is gradually becoming a little messy, and the more I look at it, the colder I feel...
"..."
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
"How could it be like this..."
=????('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)
Yes, Anne seemed a little unable to believe that what she saw today was such a desolate scene?
And before, she had lived in this house for so long, several days in total, but she didn't seem to mind at all, or maybe she didn't notice the details at all? !
"How can this be….."
=????(???*)
"There is no stove...no kitchen utensils...no refrigerator...and no cabinets..."
(?﹏?,)
"Tibbers, this is the first time I have discovered that the house I have lived in for a whole week is so small and pitiful..."
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Yes, that’s right!
After Anne ran all the way back from the library at Miss Mary's house, she finally discovered that her home and building in the corner of the farm seemed to be just a pitiful building with only thirty square meters. Just a small wooden house of about 1 meter? Moreover, it is not only small, it only contains 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. That's all?
As for other things, such as those key items that are related to whether she can eat other delicacies in Ore Town, such as stoves, refrigerators, cupboards for food, pots and pans, etc., there are not even half of them. of! !
"Woo..."
o(T▽T)o
"So stingy! So stingy, how could they be like this?!"
?(?﹏?,)?
Yes, Anne expressed strong dissatisfaction with the petty, bad-nosed mayor and that old man Thomas! Because, the other party didn't even prepare a stove for her? That's her, Queen Anne. If someone else took over this farm, wouldn't it mean that there wouldn't even be a place to cook, and then she would starve to death?
(…)
(¬?¬.)
"Tibbers, tell me, what should I do now?!"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Annie no longer wants to go to the shop where Uncle Dart and Sister Lin live to have a big meal, because she is tired of it! Therefore, she is now eager to own a stove and various cooking tools, and then try to cook that supposedly delicious meal herself to see how delicious it is?
(What’s so difficult about such a trivial matter? If your house is small, why don’t you just expand it yourself? Then just buy your own stove and kitchen utensils? How big of a deal is this?
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
——A certain bear, 'Woof' Tibbers, lay down listlessly on the ground, his ears and tail drooped, not wanting to pay attention to his miserable little master. Just now, it thought that the other person came back in a menacing manner and found that it had stolen honey? Then it wanted to beat it up? But how could it have thought that this was really the case? But? It doesn’t understand. She clearly has 10,000 ways to achieve whatever she wants, but why is she tossing it here...)
"!!"
!(;?o?)o
"That's right! That woodcutter Uncle Gates told people a few days ago that he could help people expand their houses... That's right, that's what it's like? People should go find him now! Hey! Tibbers "Hurry up and follow us. Let's go to the woods to the south to find the bearded uncle and ask him to build us a big house!!"
-=????=?????(?)?
After saying that, Annie hurriedly opened the door, and then without closing the door, she directly greeted Tibbers, her little bear, and ran to the south of her farm.
She remembers that Uncle Gotz said that his house is in the south, after crossing the small river that draws water from her farm, on the east side of the grove near the main road, and there is a lumberyard there. , very easy to recognize?
(Reporting to my dear little master, that guy’s name is Gotz, not Gates!)
~(′???`)~
(Seeing that a certain bad little master didn't seem to realize some of his little secrets, Tibbs quickly became energetic, then he stepped out on four dog legs and followed closely behind the other party.)
"I don't care what his name is, as long as you know what it means!"
(????-)
In fact, if Tibbs hadn't mentioned it, if it hadn't been for the bearded man named Gotts Gates, and if she hadn't needed him to help her expand her house, Anne might have forgotten about him at some point. maybe!
(…)
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
(Sure enough, Tibbers knew that this was the case... So, it had no choice but to trot behind the other party, even if it wanted to. Who made it belong to the other party now? What about the bitch? But... there was one thing that Tibbers didn't tell his bad little master, and that was: based on the consumption level of this ore town, he did the math and didn't think that his little master The balance of less than 100,000 in the ranch account is enough to pay for the expansion of the house.)
"But Tibbers, you think the money I have left now should be enough for expansion, right?"
☆?(o*?ω?)?
(Sorry Master, I don’t know...)
(● ̄? ̄●)
"I don't know about this, I don't know about that either, Tibbs, tell me, what's the point of people raising you?!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
(…)
(● ̄? ̄●)
(Tibbers did not dare to refute, although he wanted to say: A certain bad little girl never raised him for a day? Even if it was transformed into a little native dog by magic, it would be the same thing every day. Find something to eat by yourself, where has she ever raised it?)
"!!"
(ー`′ー)
"Tibbers, are you thinking of something bad to say about someone?"
o(*`ー′)o
(No!!)
!(;???)o
"Really do not have?"
(???.???)????
Annie was a little unconvinced. As she ran south from the wooden bridge on the edge of her farm, she turned to a small native dog behind her and narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
Because she felt that a certain bad dog must be having some bad ideas or hiding something from her! However, now she is busy looking for someone to expand the house and buy a stove and kitchen utensils. She has no time to clean it up for the time being... Just wait, I will see if she doesn't clean it up properly when she is free!
No!
At least...at least several meals? !
(Really do not have!!)
??????: Ouch!
"..."
(?????)
"Anyway, if people think there is, then there must be!!"
??(?? ̄? ̄)????
Obviously, Tibbers's protest was invalid to Anne. She just asked for confirmation. Since the other party didn't admit it, there was no doubt that it was there! Therefore, she recorded this matter in her small notebook first, so that she could deal with him later.
"ah!!"
!? (?''??)?
Suddenly, Annie, who crossed the small bridge by the river and ran into the woods, almost bumped into an uncle's thigh just like she bumped into the bespectacled Miss Mary in the library before!
However, fortunately, she had quick eyesight and quick hands this time. When she saw that the other party was an unknown uncle and had no intention of getting close to him, she hurriedly jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding the end of being knocked over by her head.
"ah?!"
"Hello……"
"You...you should be the Annie from the ranch, right? What, look at the way you almost fell down just now, are you not injured?"
However, before Anne could speak, the man wearing a hat, uniform and tie smiled and asked Anne with concern.
"Eh?"
∑(′△`)? !
"Uncle, who are you? Are you the kind of bad guy who specializes in abducting children in the woods? If that's the case, then you'd better be careful, because my puppy Tibbers is very fierce, so I won't be afraid of him. you!"
(*?′?`?)
After the other party blocked the road and forced her to stop, Annie snorted at the other party in a warning tone angrily, completely ignoring the smiling expression of the other party.
Because she knew that if she met such a cheerful and friendly guy in such a deserted place, she must be careful!
(…)
(¬?¬.)
"ah?"
The 'weird uncle' in uniform glanced subconsciously at the little puppy behind Annie, and then added in a dumbfounded voice:
"Annie, you misunderstood..."
"I'm not a bad person. I'm the police officer of Ore Town. The only police officer. My name is Harris. I think Mayor Thomas should have told you about me, right?"
When they met, such a little girl regarded him as a bad person with evil intentions. 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 guy was so vigilant and did not trust a stranger rashly, Harris nodded with relief.
Although there has been no criminal case in Ore Town for more than ten years, and the public security environment is very good, it is always better for such a little guy to be more vigilant when going out, know not to trust strangers, and know how to protect himself. Yes, he doesn't intend to correct the other party's advantages too much.
"Officer Harris?"
(′???`)
"I don't remember...anyway, I always feel that if I meet a guy like you who is sneaking around in the woods and wants to talk to a cute little girl like me, I don't feel like a good person!"
s(?`ヘ′?;)ゞ
Anne really didn't remember whether Thomas, the old man with the bad nose, had introduced this guy, because the other person said so much at that time, she found it quite annoying, and she didn't listen carefully to any of ten sentences, so how could she know what the old man said? Who who?
"!!"
"I'm not sneaking around. I'm on a routine patrol and am preparing to go back to the town through your pasture. I just came from the east road and visited the back mountains and hot springs. Now I plan to go back to the town through your pasture. It’s time to go back.”
Harris shook his head helplessly. In order not to let such a little guy think of himself as a sneaky bad guy, Harris still replied kindly.
"Patrol at this time? Hot spring?!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Wow! Now that people know it, you couldn't have gone to the hot springs to spy on Miss Popley or Sister Lin taking a bath, right? You are indeed a bad guy!!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
Yes, Anne has heard of it. Miss Purbury or Sister Lin usually like to take a bath in the hot spring when no one is around at this time of the day, and now, this guy is also going at this time. Hot spring patrol, then there must be nothing good going on!
"NO, I have not!!"
"Annie..."
"Don't talk nonsense! I was really on patrol, and I didn't run into the hot springs. There were people watching there, and I couldn't get in. Moreover, the men's and women's baths were separated... Also, I What I like is Dick's daughter Azuo, although she lives in the city now..."
"Anyway, I definitely won't like those little girl movies like Popley or Lin, and I won't even watch them take a bath. I guarantee it with my reputation!!!"
Harris suddenly felt very tired, especially after a day of patrolling and having to meet such a difficult little girl... Moreover, what was even worse was that he couldn't help but explain, otherwise the other party would run out and confront her. If others talk nonsense, then should he stay here in Ore Town?
"You really didn't go to the hot springs to take a peek?"
(??ω??)
"Really do not have!"
"I'm a police officer in Ore Town, how could I do that kind of thing? In fact, I'm the person specifically responsible for catching such bad guys!!"
There was no other way. Seeing that the other party was still staring at him with that suspicious look, Harris had no choice but to cheer up and pat his chest hard in assurance.
"All right……"
(*^▽^*)
"I don't think you look like a bad person, so I'll let you go for the time being!"
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)?
Annie would not tell the other party: she had already heard that the other party was telling the truth, and she just deliberately teased the other party! So, after finishing speaking, she nodded directly and continued to walk towards the south of the forest with her dog-legged Tibbs with her head held high.
(…)
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
"etc!"
"Annie, where are you going? Are you going to dig for mountain goods again in the mountains? The sun is very bright today, and there may be venomous snakes out there. Zach was bitten a few days ago, so be careful where you step!"
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, police officer Harris, who didn't know whether the other party was going to the back mountain or the hot spring, asked with concern and vigilance.
As a police officer in charge of this small area of Ore Town, Harris certainly knew some important things that a certain little girl had done, so he was a little worried, fearing that a certain little girl would do that kind of poaching again. In the back of the mountain, other people do irrational things because they don’t have the mountain goods to eat.
"ha!"
?(?`▽′)??
"I'm not as stupid as Uncle Zach! I don't have time to dig for mountain goods now. I want to find something to do with Uncle Gotz!"
(????-)?
Annie said that the unlucky Uncle Zach, 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 him, had nothing to do with her. , it’s all because the other person is too stupid, so she won’t feel guilty or regretful about it.
(…)
(lll¬?¬)
"oh!"
"That's good, then go ahead!"
"Don't worry, the security of our town is very good. You can live here with peace of mind. Just be careful of dangerous animals when wandering in the woods or mountains. If you have any questions, you can contact me or the forest ranger directly. Yuan Gezi, I believe you already know him, right?"
Harris felt relieved when he heard that the other party was looking for that guy Gotz. Then when he saw that the other party just waved his hand with his back and did not answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing more, and went directly to Walking north, I planned to cross the other side of the pasture, which must still be very dilapidated, and then return to the town.
Speaking of which, Harris was actually opposed to the mayor Thomas in hastily allocating the ranch to the other party without investigation at first. Now look at it, his original worries were indeed unreasonable, because the little guy was too young. , it is true that he is not a farmer... It has been a week since he passed by the other party's farm every day, and he has never seen that the other party has cleared even a small piece of the field and tried to plant any crops!
It seems that their second specialty of Ore Town, those delicious blessed agricultural products, will definitely be out of reach if they want to be re-shipped and become the signature of Ore Town.
"ah!!"
"I seem to have forgotten to tell that little guy something just now..."
At this time, Officer Harris, who had just taken a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, and while exclaiming, he quickly turned around and looked in the direction where the little guy left.
But it's a pity that the little guy who made him so embarrassed with just a few words has already jumped up and down to who knows where. Where can he still see half of the other party?
"never mind!"
"Anyway, she will be able to see it later, so let's let that nasty little guy run away in vain!"
After hesitating for a while, Officer Harris, who had been tired for a day and felt that the little guy was a little unhappy, shook his head and simply turned around and continued patrolling towards the pasture to the north.
…
Half an hour later, Annie arrived at the door of this big house in the woods just beside the road.
"Hello?"
?(ˊ〇ˋ*)?
"Is Uncle Gotz at home? I have something to do with you today!!"
?(⊙o⊙*)?
However, Annie 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 didn't look like anyone wanted to open the door for her.
"strangeness……"
(ー`′ー)
"Not at home?"
(???.???)????
There was no way, after knocking for a long time but no one came to open the door for her, and the house was quiet, and even the lumberyard with piles of wood around the house didn't look like anyone was there, Anne He had no choice but to turn around hesitantly and look at a small number next to the door.
