19. Holidays and Storms (6)
ps:Tonight's three watches,There are still monthly passes and recommended tickets in hand!
Nancy Darwin snapped open his eyes and saw that there was still twilight in the sky outside the window. The little girl who came back to her senses was overjoyed, and her special ability had once again been successfully used.
Nancy tried not to make a noise, and curled up under the covers to get dressed. The second daughter of the Darwin family slid out of the bed like a clever kitten, stood on tiptoe out of the bedroom to the background of the snoring of her sister and two sisters, and groped her way down the stairs step by step.
Like thousands of human farmers, the villagers of Caluire enter the slack period after harvesting, hulling, grinding flour, marinating jerky, storing winter grain, and many other tasks during the harvest season. Since the day before yesterday, after relieving themselves from the stinking farm work from morning to night, the villagers have been sleeping comfortably under warm bedding until the sun shines on the bedside, when they wake up yawning.
Carefully bypassing every item that might make a strange noise, Nancy took a deep breath and slowly pushed open a crack in the door, burrowed out like lightning, and pounced like a cat chasing a mouse to the well in the yard to start washing.
The lively girl sighed at the flower face reflected in the basin, it was not a peerless face, but a decent face was also heavy.
There was a bumper wheat harvest this season, and there was still a lot left over after the tithes, rents, and royal taxes. It is more than enough to survive the winter, but it is an extravagant hope to sell the surplus grain for some pigs and beef for the pregnant mother, and the father, who has been trying to add a younger brother to the family and works hard, also sighed.
Albert of the carriage merchant division, who passed by the house a few days ago, said this to his father, and his father only smiled wryly and nodded in agreement.
Really, why nod your head at that kind of unfortunate talk for no reason?!
complained about her father, but Nancy actually knew very well that Albert was telling the truth.
When the weather is bad and there is not much wheat. The price of the flour sold by the flour merchant will naturally rise. When there is a good harvest like this, they will naturally lower the price - these are normal things.
Albert was a well-traveled carriage merchant who knew a lot of things, and his familiar smiling face could mingle with the locals wherever he went. In addition, he is not bad-looking and has a sweet mouth, and he appeared in the village of Galuischer three years ago, and is now among the carriage merchants in the village of Galuischer. One of the most popular.
Whenever Albert drove the carriage. Bring all kinds of glass crafts, cotton clothes, toys or other goodies to the entrance of the village. Children and girls would scream and gather around them, and none of the housekeepers sent by the city lords to collect the rent received such a warm welcome, and everyone looked at the ostentatious collector with cowardly and gloomy eyes.
However, Albert and his carriage will probably never be seen again. The other day. He sued the people of the village. His company was going to promote him to be the manager of the branch in Lapland, and a new salesman would soon come to take over.
The sudden news made many girls feel sad, but no one said anything about such a reservation.
Everyone knows that homeless traveling merchants are still running around with their dreams, eager to make enough money this morning. Own your own shop in a busy area of a big city. It would be too impersonal to let this young boy, who was only one step away from making his dream come true, just give up a great opportunity.
Thinking so, the villagers sent their blessings and goodbyes to Albert with good luck. Only Nancy complained disapprehantly.
There is a little bit of regional discrimination, but Nancy's complaints are not entirely unreasonable, and Lapland, despite its constant flow of supplies, is not a good place to do business.
Poor law and order, attacks by orcs, low consumption levels of the inhabitants, and high transportation costs...... Almost all factors that are not conducive to the investment and development of individual businesses. The snow country in the north is all there, and under normal circumstances, no one would go to that kind of place. The grown-ups of the village were also privately betting on wheat or beer on how long Albert and his little shop would last.
The voice of remorse grunted softly. The melancholy girl in the bucket sighed again.
Since her birth, the monotony of the sunrise and sunset life in the village of Galuisher has worn out the active Nancy, and as she enters the rebellious period, the dreaming girl begins to fantasize that she can give birth to a pair of wings. Fly freely into the distance. Or it would be nice to have a handsome and tall knight on a white horse come to the village and gently carry her away from the tedious life.
When Albert appears into the living range of the village. Nancy thought that guy was her knight. As a result, he is now gone quietly...... Men are really useless guys!
"No, I'm going to cheer up! Don't be angry with that fool who is obsessed with the big city!"
Picking up a handful of well water and rubbing it on her face a few times, and wiping the water stains on her face with a face towel, Nancy walked towards the mulberry forest in the south of the village with a basket.
The mulberry trees in the mulberry forest are all ripe, and the big girls in the village have long made an appointment to pick them, relying on the advantage of height and strength, the best mulans will be picked by them, and each time Nancy is left with some defective products.
Since you can't take advantage of your height and body, you can only rely on activating the sneaking skill to get the first shot.
"Okay, I must go back with a basket full of Sangkan today, and surprise everyone!!"
The girl who rolled up her sleeves and gave up her breakfast was determined to do a big job, unaware that a strange change was approaching the village, and a pair of eyes looked coldly at the pair of pocket watches in the distance, and moved back to the eyes behind the optical lenses to wait for the unfolding of the extraordinary.

"Freya ......"
"Did you find anything?
"Stop putting strange adjectives in front of you, and...... Do you have to do that?"
"Stupid Thor, of course you have to do it. My sister has already sneaked away and taken a big step ahead, if she doesn't pay attention, they will definitely open the room and cause the established fact!"
Fiddling with a peeping at Li Lin sleeping, bathing, and changing clothes from a private house, Freya's expression of refusal to accept any advice made Thor's stomach ache faintly appear to be a harbinger.
Night raids, voyeurism, drilling, **......
In the past five years, all kinds of behaviors that have nothing to do with the lady have been played by Freya. If it weren't for Li Lin's body being strong enough and alert enough. By now, heavy plots such as "Night Sick Building" and "Meat Urinal" should have been launched long ago.
Freya is working so hard, but so far has not been able to fulfill the delicate wishes. In the unstoppable anxiety, it has become a new direction of effort and a part of daily life.
