Bang! Bang!
"Hey! Is anyone home?"
"Open the door quickly!"
"Annie? Come out and open the door! I have to get ready to work, otherwise you can't blame me for delaying the construction period!!"
"Hello?!"
Standing in front of the small wooden house in the northwest corner of the ranch, Goetz slammed the door with his thick fist and shouted loudly for a little guy who obviously didn't get up.
To be honest, what Uncle Gotz, who is also a mountain ranger, a miserable bearded man, a senior carpenter, a lonely woodcutter and the owner of a real estate developer in Ore Town, never expected was this: Annie The little girl, who was inconspicuous in his eyes and seemed unreliable no matter how he looked at it, actually managed to collect the money needed to expand the house and decorate it in just two days. huge sum of money?
Therefore, after the other party paid all the materials and wages in person at once, starting from the 12th of spring, he would need to come to the little girl Anne's place from 06:00 in the morning to 17:00 in the afternoon. He is working on the ranch house, and the construction period is still very tight. Until next quarter, that is, before the 1st of summer next month, he must complete all the work and submit it to the other party for acceptance.
"Who..."
('-ω??)~zzZ
So, it happened that in the early morning, when a little girl was still sleeping, he came to wake her up and came to open the door for him with sleepy eyes...
Because, starting from this morning, his work will officially begin.
"ah……"
|?˙╭╮˙)?
"It turns out to be Uncle Gotz..."
(っ?-?)
"It's early in the morning, what time is it? What are you doing here knocking on someone's door?"
?(?′0`?)?Aaah~!
Apparently, Anne, who had stretched herself very impolitely in front of the guests, seemed to have not yet woken up, and expressed some complaints towards a certain bearded man who came to take pictures of her front door for no apparent reason early in the morning. The ground is dissatisfied!
"do what?"
"Oh My God……"
"Annie, what else do you think I can do? Of course I'm here to expand your house. Didn't we make an agreement yesterday and calculate the construction period?!"
Seeing the other person's look as if he had just gotten out of bed and couldn't even open his eyes, Gotz sighed helplessly.
You know, most of the residents of their mineral town get up on time at six o'clock every day, and then they exercise when they should, run in the morning when they should, and some go to the top of the back mountain to watch the sunrise, and even go to the hot springs and The goddess said hello, or simply went to the beach to walk the dog, there are all kinds of things... But where is there anyone like the other person, who just got out of bed after six o'clock when he called the door?
And he also heard that this little guy often sleeps until the afternoon, or even doesn't get up all day long? Therefore, Gotz couldn't help but be a little curious about this. He wanted to know how the other party was able to collect that huge sum of money in just two days?
Could it be that this guy called back? Asking for the other person's family?
Yes, that must be the case...
The more he thought about it, the more Gotz thought it was possible! And he had vaguely noticed it a long time ago? This little guy, the clothes and shoes of the other party, the fabrics didn't look like something ordinary people could afford, he must be a child of a rich family!
In this way, Gotz was thinking wildly while waiting for the little girl's reaction... Perhaps, only when Zach is discharged from the hospital can he get more news from Zach, and can he also know that he is not optimistic about the little girl in front of him. Where does the money come from?
"ah!!"
!(;?o?)o
"Don't tell me, I almost forgot about it! Come in quickly, Uncle Gotz? You must work very hard today!"
(????-)?
After being stunned for a moment, Annie quickly made way for the other party, signaling that they could come in and work.
From today on, the other party can do whatever he wants? Anyway, before 17:00 in the afternoon, everything in this house is decided by him? She will definitely not care about it and will not interfere! Of course? I don’t even care about food!
"Annie..."
"It's time for you to go to work too? Take a look at your farm? You've been here for more than ten days, and the field has not changed at all. It's still so barren... If this continues, as time goes by, everyone will Very disappointed in you!".
Sighing, Gotz couldn't say too much. He just shook his head and walked inside with his tools, planning to start his work today.
In his opinion, since this little guy is so rich, even if he can't do it himself, he can definitely hire someone to help take care of it. No matter what, he only needs to think of a way to prevent the ranch from being abandoned after taking over. So long.
"Don't worry! The fake painting is done, and you can start farming as soon as you finish renovating the house!!"
(^_?)☆
Annie farmed to make delicious food for herself, but if she didn't have a big house and a stove, why would she be in such a hurry to farm? Is she going to farm to sell?
Hum!
After all, she has found a better, faster and more efficient way to make money by shipping goods, and that is to fry fish! She only needs to rent a boat to go out to sea for a walk, and then find a few schools of fish and throw a few fireballs to make a lot of money. She doesn't need to farm anymore!
(…)
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
(Fortunately, the sea is full of water, is big enough, and has enough fish. There is no need to worry about being discovered or protesting. Otherwise, Tibbs wouldn’t know what his terrible little master can do. What kind of trouble will be caused in this mineral town!)
"Wait until the transformation is completed?"
"But, it will be summer by then..."
As soon as he walked into the house to measure and start working, Gotz was stunned for a moment, and then looked back at a little girl in disbelief.
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry! You can take your time and it can be finished anytime!"
(????-)?
If Anne had used magic herself, she would have done it with a wave of her hand!
However, this is Ore Town, and she only comes here to eat, drink, and have fun. Therefore, in order to prevent the townspeople from making too much of a fuss, she has never shown any power beyond ordinary people in front of those guys. , and don’t want to do that.
"Annie..."
Gotz opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He just shook his head and walked into the house carrying his tools.
Renovating and upgrading an old house is a systematic project. If this is a house with a wood and stone structure, it will definitely be very difficult, but fortunately it is a pure wooden structure, which is not a problem for him as a carpenter. It's too difficult, it just requires him to measure and calculate in advance, which takes a lot of time. Therefore, he didn't plan to waste time with the little guy anymore. Besides, the other person was still his customer, and he, a worker, couldn't say much.
"Uncle Gotz, you must work hard!"
??(′?`?)???
"I'm going to the hot spring to wash myself off now. Goodbye~!"
ヾ( ̄▽ ̄)Bye~Bye~
"Hey! Tibbers!"
(?╭╮?)
"Hurry up and follow us, let's go to the back mountain to play!!"
(????-)?
Since Uncle Gotz had to work at his own house, and since he could no longer stay at home and sleep until he woke up naturally, or slept until the sun was shining on his butt... she had no choice but to go south and greeted him as he entered the house. Calling her own stupid dog, she planned to run to the hot springs early in the morning and take a comfortable bath like Popley and her little sister Lin?
If possible, maybe she could have a good sleep in the hot spring?
(…)
??????: Woof!
(Hearing the call of his bad little master, he had no choice. Tibbs, who had finally been able to have a little more freedom recently and could still run around at night, had no choice but to jump out of the dog house in the distance, and some The little one wags its tail in frustration and follows the opponent’s heels.)
"..."
He glanced back from the window and watched the stubborn little girl and the other party's puppy leave. In the end, Gotz said nothing more. He didn't come back to his senses until the other party disappeared to the south of the farm. No. When I thought about it more, I just started to take out my various tools to prepare for my intense work that lasted for more than half a month.
Without damaging the structure of the existing house, he needs to complete the frame of the new house on the other side in the next few days and rivet it to the old house. After the main structure is completed, he will then rivet the frame of the new house on the other side. The outer wall was demolished, the two sides were connected together, and then the necessary decorations were carried out. It would take about ten days, and it would not affect the little one's normal schedule at night.
…
The hot spring in the back mountain of Ore Town is said to have very miraculous effects. It has been blessed by the goddess and can greatly relieve people's fatigue and help the tired body recover!
A long time ago, miners in Ore Town had to come to the hot springs for a good soak after a day's mining work, because only in that way could they be full of energy and energy the next day. continue working?
However, now the lives of people in Ore Town are gradually getting better, and the miners who originally mined have long since aged. Not only does no one in the new generation want to be a hard-working miner, but no one is even willing to run a ranch... As a result, not only did the farm in Ore Town have been abandoned for many years and Annie was benefited in vain, but even the mines that had been dug by the miners for a total of 255 levels were gradually abandoned, and even the passages on each level were abandoned. Buried in the dirt, the correct path to the next level can no longer be found.
Many years ago, Ore Town produced a variety of unique specialty ores, including expensive and beautiful pink diamonds, alexandrite, philosopher's stones, etc. But now, not only the shipment of ores has been completely cut off , even another specialty, those magical crops watered with hot spring water are no longer produced...
"!!"
=????('ヮ'=????)
And the above are all what Anne just heard from Miss Purbury who also took a bath in this hot spring with her.
Obviously, like everyone else in Ore Town, the other party has some stubborn longing for someone to inherit the tradition of Ore Town and continue to mine or grow Goddess Hot Springs crops?
However, Anne did not answer the call, because in her opinion, mining and other things are not as convenient and quick as going to the sea to 'fish'?
"Miss Purbuli, look at it, I really can't dig mines or farm with my small arms and legs now! Moreover, my house is being renovated, so I don't have time to farm for the time being, but I will definitely do it in the future. Find a way, don’t worry yet!”
?乛?乛?
After saying that, Annie slowly sank her head directly under the misty and hot hot spring water, only two eyes were exposed, and then while her golden hair was spread out on the water, she continued to use her mouth and nose. He exhaled, causing "gurgling" bubbles to appear on the surface of the water. He glanced angrily at the person opposite him who was showing his round shoulders and his cheeks were slightly red from the bubbles. elder sister.
Anne was already a little tired of that kind of thing, because the other party, like Uncle Gotz or others, tried to trick her, Queen Anne, into mining or farming... How could she fall for such a little trick? What's more, she is only eight years old. If they really like farming and mining, and they really like to inherit the tradition, then why don't they go on their own?
"ah!"
"Annie, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just feeling a little emotional...because I suddenly miss the crops grown by my grandfather on the old ranch. You don't know, they are very sweet even if they are eaten raw!!"
As he spoke, Pubuli actually started to cover his face in admiration, and he didn't even realize that his saliva was about to drip into the hot spring.
"..."
(lll¬▽¬)
Annie moved her body quietly with some disgust, and quietly moved to the upper reaches of the hot spring with only half of her head exposed, so as to prevent the other party's nausea from dripping into the water and flowing to her body.
“Are vegetables grown in bathwater really that delicious?”
?(*?_?)????
Obviously, Anne didn't believe it, because she always felt that these guys were trying to trick her into farming for various reasons. The truth was definitely not what they said!
"That's hot spring water, not bath water!!"
“But it’s really delicious!”
"Annie, if you don't believe it, you can plant a little bit yourself and see. You just need to remember to draw water from the river mixed with hot spring water and water those crops every day. When they are harvested, you will know how delicious they are. Got it!"
Purbuli was so excited that she stood up directly from the hot spring, revealing her proud figure and waving her little fists in assurance.
"I don't want it!"
o(′^`)o
"How can crops that are watered with bath water taste good?"
???(__*)??
That's right, in Annie's opinion, just thinking about a group of people taking a bath and pouring them with bathwater makes them feel a little disgusting! If it were her, she would just use the spring water brought back from the hot spring instead of drawing water from the lower reaches of the river!
"Annie..."
"Ah! Who? Is it...is it Lin? You scared me to death, and you finally came?!"
Purbuli was about to say something, but suddenly, when she saw the door of the hot spring cabin being pushed open and closed in the mist, and then a figure walked in, she was so frightened that she quickly covered her chest and hurriedly Sitting back in the hot spring.
However, when the visitor came closer and began to take off his clothes, she was shocked to realize: It turned out to be that guy Lin!
"Hello, Popley, you are so early today..."
"Huh?!"
"Annie, are you here? That's great. I told you a long time ago that you should take a dip every day like us. The hot springs in the morning are good for the skin, and you should go for a walk in the mountains in the morning. It’s really nice to breathe fresh air!”
"But the best thing is the hot spring. It's really enjoyable to take a dip in the hot spring like this in the morning..."
After stripping off her clothes in just a few moments, Lin jumped into the hot spring without any problem at all, and then sat directly next to Popley. She squinted and leaned on the smooth stone that was kept warm all year round due to the effect of the hot spring. A look of enjoyment on his face.
It was early morning in spring. Although the weather was not as good as in winter, the temperature was still a bit cold. A hot spring bath was just right at this time, but if it was summer, it would be too hot. She would definitely not be able to bear it.
"don't want……"
?_?
"People still think it's more comfortable to sleep in..."
(っ?-?)
Speaking of sleeping in, Annie started to feel a little sleepy again.
Actually, if Uncle Gotz hadn't gone to her house to work early in the morning, and probably would have to knock and saw wood in her house, she wouldn't have come here so early in the morning!
"Nonsense!"
"Where can I go to sleep in and take a hot spring bath in the morning? Ah! Annie, don't you need to catch your Tibbers and wash it?"
At this time, Lin suddenly spotted Tibbers, a little puppy not far away who was lying listlessly on the edge of the hot spring staring at them.
"unnecessary……"
?(?′0`?)?
"My Tibbers is a little afraid of water..."
(o-ωq )).oO
"You guys can talk among yourselves. If I'm sleepy, I need to take a nap first. You don't need to call me when you leave later..."
(~ o ~)~zZ
With that said, Annie found a more comfortable position in the hot spring pool, then lay on her side on the stone and fell asleep.
'Annie! '
'It's not safe to sleep while soaking in a hot spring. You'll definitely wake up from drowning later! And you may not have the strength to stand up again by then...'
'Annie? ! '
'Okay, Popley, don't worry about her for now. We're keeping an eye on her now. Don't worry. We'll pick her up after we've soaked her. '
Duoyuan APP: Mimi Reading
'That's fine...'
'Hello! Purbury, how's things going with you and Kay? '
'! ! '
'How about what? Lin, I don't know what you are talking about...'
'Stop pretending, we all know it! '
'ah! '
'talk? '
'Actually, it's not that bad...'
'Why? '
'Because my brother doesn't seem to like him...'
'ha? As long as you like it, that's fine. What does this have to do with your brother? '
'But……'
'Stop it, just do as I say! '
'ah! What are you doing? '
'Nothing done! First, I'll teach you a lesson for this big foul guy! '
'Don't! Hello! Stop! ! '
'Yeah~?! ! '
'...'
In this way, Lin and Popley started whispering among girls in the mist. After a while, it turned into a frolic, and a certain bird on the side was magically transformed into a small breast. Tibbers the dog couldn't help but swallowed in shock.
(…)
???﹃??
(Of course, Tibbers is not despicably coveting the bodies of those two stupid little female earth humans. He just feels that the other party is now clean. If it takes advantage of its little master to sleep now, Wouldn't it be delicious if we caught those two and roasted them and ate them when we had the chance?
Tibbers may not know whether the hot spring eggs are delicious, but he thinks that the hot spring roasted eggs must be very fragrant, right? After all, after being transformed into a dog by magic by his bad little master, its thirst for food seems to have become even stronger! )
(…)
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
(However, Tibbers did not dare to do anything in the end. He just raised his head and hesitated for a while, and finally had to lie down listlessly on the stone.)
(!!)
∑(′?`)? !
(However, what it never expected was that although it planned to let the two female Earth Mother humans go, the other side did not want to let it go!)
Isn’t this?
Just when it was about to take a nap like its bad little master, go back to sleep, and be invisible... That smooth and smooth Lin suddenly stood up and walked to her side. , without waiting for it to come back to its senses, you grabbed it by the collar, picked it up, and then forced it into the water it hated most? ! !
(!!)
!(;???)o
'Wow~! ! '
!!!∑(???ノ)ノ
(Stop! Stupid Earth Mother, let go of this bear quickly!!!)
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
(Tibbers began to struggle, but soon he discovered that due to some kind of magic restraint by his annoying little master, his power was unable to defeat the two female human beings on earth in front of him, and he could only let the other side press down. Keep rubbing and washing its already clean fur in the water, and also made it choke on a lot of water?)
'good! '
'Tibbers, don't move around, let's help your Master Anne give your skin a good wash! ! '
'ah! '
'so cute! Lin, come on, come express and give me a hug? '
'Wait a minute, this guy is so fierce, he is still struggling! '
'ah! '
'! ! '
'Get it! Don't let it get away! '
'stop! ! '
'ha! Now that you're in the hands of your aunt, you still want to run away? '
'Very good! Lin, bring it over and let me play with it... Yeah! ! '
'It's so cunning, catch it and don't let it land! ! '
'Here! '
'Don't run! ! '
'...'
'Hahaha......'
'I got it! '
??????Wow~! !
'ah! '
'careful! Lin! '
'hateful......'
'Publey, catch it quickly, be careful it bites you! '
In this way, a group of female humans who seemed extremely stupid and evil in Tibbers' eyes carried out a brutal ravage on Tibbers Bear in this hot spring...
