Mountain and Forest Kingdom

In the afternoon, Emma rode a sheep to Pumexiu Town.

Emma, ​​who was wearing a cloak and skirt, tied the Dom sheep to a post outside the tavern door, then pushed open the wooden door of the tavern and walked in.

"Emma!" The boy in the village was sitting at the table playing and greeted Emma happily after seeing her.

Emma smiled and nodded, then walked to the bar and placed the hat on the table.

Ali was chatting with a young man who left the high stool when he saw Emma coming.

Emma sat on the stool and asked, "It looks familiar. Are you from Durila?"

Ai Ali smiled and said: "Yes, they are the earliest batch. These young men are the most powerful."

"Master is like this too, like a stick." The two women didn't have anything serious to talk about, but Emma did have something serious to do today, "I came here today because Salil and Sophia made a pasta called pancakes."

"What is that?" Ai Ali has only eaten bread and potato chips. Fried chicken is something only a few people can eat.

Emma explained: "It's food made with oil and batter. I brought a portion for you to try."

Emma took out the pancakes wrapped in cloth from the apron pocket in front of her lower abdomen and handed one to Ai Ali.

The remaining two pancakes were quickly wrapped and kept in the pocket. Emma's oldest child was already eight years old and the only child. The other children had not grown up.

This child is not strong. He originally worked with Emma in the manor. After the church was built here in Pumixiu Town this year, Emma asked her son to learn some useful skills in the town, such as guarding the church.

It sounds ridiculous, but in this world, this is indeed a rare and good job. You can work from childhood to old age and die. You have food to eat and wine to drink. The work is not tiring or dangerous. It is close to home and can be done regularly. visit.

Ai Ali took it and took a bite and immediately fell in love with it. The pancakes were still warm and they tasted very comfortable.

"How do you make this? It doesn't look like much trouble." Ai Ali asked while eating.

Emma explained the making of this pancake in detail. Apart from a slightly flatter pan, the most other ingredients required are eggs and oil.

There is not much oil. Compared with the oil consumption of fried chicken legs, this consumption is undoubtedly much smaller.

Because Ai Ali runs a tavern, she has a lot of eggs and wheat, so she can easily get oil.

Although Salil comes regularly to collect bills, a slight consumption is not a problem.

"I understand." Ai Ali said happily: "When the next batch of businessmen come, I will ask them for this matter."

"good."

After Emma finished the hostess's instructions, she put on her sun hat and led the sheep to the church.

The church is behind the Crow Feather Colossus, but it is not covered by shadow. The sunlight at this time illuminates the colossus in a tilted direction, and there is a large amount of light both in front and behind.

Behind the church facing the Colossus, a group of children were wrestling and fighting behind the church, and many people were watching.

Wumu was watching those people fighting, and his ear was pinched by a warm finger and was quickly pulled out.

Wumu's ears hurt terribly, and he turned his head to show that he was in pain, but after seeing the woman who was tugging on his ears, he quickly walked out obediently.

Emma let go of her hand and reprimanded sternly: "I asked you to guard the door in the church, and you ran out again! If the master sees it, he will definitely beat you!"

Wu Mu defended: "No, last time I was playing outside, the master saw it and said it didn't matter. He just asked me to go back to the church and close the door before dark."

Emma became even more angry, "The master will forgive your sins, but God will remember your dereliction of duty! If you continue like this, the church will kick you out!"

Wumu lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.

Emma ordered: "You must guard the door in the church from now on, especially when the master comes over, you must come out quickly and open the door for the master!"

"Okay." Um agreed quickly.

Emma reprimanded: "When master talks to you, when you promise, you must say: Yes, master. This is how you respect the master!"

"I know." Wumu quickly remembered.

Emma took Um back to the church, sat on the steps of the church, and took out the wrapped pancakes from her pocket.

Wumu looked at it curiously. He was probably the only child in the entire territory who had eaten chicken legs.

He was the only person under the age of ten who had ever eaten fried chicken legs.

Bull's child was just over a year old, and Reglo, Mandekru and Seravan would not give chicken drumsticks to children.

Only Emma, ​​who was left with only two children due to war and turmoil, was willing to leave the chicken drumsticks rewarded by her master to Umu.

Emma handed the pancake to Um, "Eat quickly."

Umu took the pancakes and the cloth wrapping them and started eating them quickly.

As he ate, he said, "How is Tim?"

Tim is Emma's other child. Emma said: "Tim is playing with other children on the mountain. Let's wait and see when Tim is older."

"If she's pretty, she can be a maid. If she's ugly, let her work in the manor and raise sheep. If she's average, she can help in Ai Ali's tavern."

"Hurry up and eat. When the master comes down in a few days, I will bring her over to see you."

Umu continued to eat pancakes, "Yeah!"

Emma looked at Umu who was eating seriously, and then raised her head to look at the sky in the distance.

Although there is still a lot of time, there is still a lot to do in the manor.

It took more than an hour to go down the mountain, and two or three hours to go back. The Dom sheep couldn't run fast after running for a while. It would definitely be five or six o'clock when we went back.

If you go back late, you won't be able to help the master bathe. Today, Navia is helping at home. Yesterday it was she who helped the master wash his body. If he doesn't go back early, it will be her again today.

Umu finished the pancake quickly, her mouth was greasy.

Emma was satisfied just looking at Um's face, and said gently: "After eating, stay in the church and look after the door. When winter comes, I will help you and Brick get a puppy."

Um said happily: "Okay!"

Emma sighed and educated her seriously: "When the master gives you a reward in the future, you should say: Thank you master, remember?"

Wumu nodded and said, "Okay."

Emma educated: "At this time, say yes."

"Yes." Um honestly learned all kinds of knowledge.

Emma told her some more things and quickly left the church on Dom Sheep.

Um and Emma often see each other. Emma often goes down the mountain with Lawrence, or deals with some things, so they basically see each other every three or four days.

People come to pray in the church every day, and there is also Brielle teaching the Durila people the language here and spreading the deeds of God in the church. It is a very lively place.

Umu's responsibility every day is to open the door in the morning and close the door in the evening. At the same time, when the church is closed, he can open the door for some important people in the yard behind the gate at any time.

Although he is still a child, he does not get paid for working here, but he can eat food provided by the church and stay in a separate room near the gate.

Moreover, Umu also has an old house in Pumexiu Town. Emma's house still belongs to Emma, ​​but the family fields are now under the control of Lawrence.

The sun had not yet set when Emma returned to the manor. The repaired mountain road saved a lot of time. When she came back, dinner had not yet been served in the manor.

Emma quickly sent the Dom sheep back to the camp to take care of it, asked the female worker to feed the sheep more food, and then quickly ran back to the main manor.

After entering the manor and seeing Lawrence shutting down the water mill, Emma quickly passed over: "Master, can I help you?"

Lawrence used a wooden board to block the stream, looked at the wet pants on his body, and said directly: "I'm done. I repaired a wooden shaft today and splashed a lot of water on my body. I'm going to take a shower first. You can help me get a set of clean clothes." .”

"Yes, Master." Emma agreed quickly.

Lawrence looked at Emma, ​​whose face was rosy, her hair was a little messy, and there were traces of sweat on her forehead, "You've sweated a lot. Go take a bath today. Salil and the others like to take a bath after eating. It won't affect her." they."

Emma said happily: "Yes, thank you, Master!"

Lawrence smiled and said, "Just call me Lawrence when there is no one else."

"Yeah!" Emma followed Lawrence to the main house. After Lawrence went to take a shower, she went into the main house to pick out Lawrence's clothes.

Navia was bringing out dinner and setting up the table. When she saw Emma coming back, she said, "Emma, ​​you are back, do you want to take a rest? I see you are very tired."

"No, the master asked me to help him take a bath." Emma refused with a smile, carrying her clothes lightly and going downstairs.

Navia looked at Emma's back and gritted her teeth with hatred.

The witches didn't fight much about this, but the maids fought fiercely.

Navia and Brielle have the advantage of youth that Amarable does not have, and the important advantage of being a pure girl. However, Navia is not as beautiful as Brielle, so she can only rely on various tricks to express her presence.

Brielle, who poses the greatest threat, is also a friend, so naturally she treats Emma and Bull as imaginary enemies.

But it's just like a girl's fighting spirit. At best, she works extra hard when others are not around, and the performance of competing for favor is also very cute.

Emma is three years older than Salil, and Brielle and Navia are both just twenty years old. In fact, the difference is not that big, but the women here in the Northland look more mature.
