Chapter 231 Most People With Scars Look More Vicious

Ann quit her job in the city and prepared to spend the New Year in the countryside.

Although I feel sorry for the proprietress who has been taking care of her all the time, the proprietress doesn't seem to care much.

Just like when he took her in before, he simply dismissed her.

But when she hung up the phone, she said a word to Ando.

"As you get older, it's time to learn to take care of yourself. From now on, don't drink until midnight when you're alone."

Ann answered yes seriously, and then the other party hung up the phone.

Listening to the empty ringing on the phone, An laughed alone for a while.

She is really lucky, always meeting the people she should meet.

The new year comes so quickly, it seems to come a few days after the snow has melted.

This village celebrates the New Year in a very different way, and they hold a lucky fish fishing activity on New Year's Eve.

Sitting by a river flowing through the village and catching the first fish of the new year is the best blessing for the new year in the eyes of the villagers, and it is also the most auspicious sign.

Almost in the evening, the female teacher came to find Ann with a group of children. They took the fishing gear and planned to sit by the river all night.

The tranquility of the stars and the moon shining on the river is like a lake in which people are submerged, making Wan Lai silent.

But that is not the silence where nothing can be heard, but the silence where everything can be heard, but all the sounds are just like the sound of wind and rain, just blending into the scenery just right, without any noise and chaos.

In the middle of the night, the elementary school students had been playing on the grass next to them, clamoring loudly what kind of fish they wanted to eat. It looks like it's not working hard.

Although Ann has passed the age of being playful, she also has some expectations.

Since next year is her first year back here, she hopes to get a blessing from the land.

At first, she sat beside An and accompanied her very seriously. As for her, she doesn't fish, and it's fine if she doesn't scare the fish away.

In the middle of the night, the primary school students fell asleep in the arms of their parents, the junior high school students yawned, the high school students held their glasses and looked at the river under the starry sky in a trance, as if thinking about the philosophy of life, and the female teacher was still yawning.

The villagers also have their own leisure time, some sitting together in twos and threes drinking wine, some gather a few poker friends to play cards, it seems that this is a large-scale outing, and the location is in the wild by the river.

The outing ended at sunrise the next morning.

Before sunrise, almost everyone had already harvested, even the female teacher who had been sleeping had caught her first lucky fish in the early hours of the morning.

But Ann didn't, her luck was very bad, and there was not even a biting fish all night.

She looked a little disappointed, with a helpless smile on her face, looking at the sun that was about to rise in the distance, she said something regretful.

"It seems that I can't catch it..."

It's just that before her words fell, there was a thumping sound from beside her.

The villagers on both sides exclaimed, waking up the sleeping people.

Everyone looked towards the river.

It turned out that Chu jumped down and sank into the water.

Ann stood on the shore in bewilderment.

But a few minutes later, with the first ray of sunlight rising from the sky, it shone on the river and first surfaced.

In the splashing water, the sunlight illuminated the water droplets falling on her body, holding a half-human-sized river fish in her arms, and raised it up to An.

On his face was the usual, natural expression, and a little bit of a stiff smile.

It was just dawn, and the first lucky fish of the new year, Ann got the biggest one.

At sunrise, in the pale golden sun.

The elementary school student cried out excitedly and began to name the biggest fish she had ever seen.

The villagers also laughed out loud, this was the first time they had seen a person like Chu who caught Fuyu.

So, under the laughter by the river, the small mountain village ushered in the new year.

Chu hugged the fish and climbed ashore, she thought that An would be very happy, but An just hit her on the head and cursed.

"You're stupid. The person who catches the biggest fish is going to be treated. It's all your fault. I'll treat you now."

But when she scolded, there was a smile on her face that couldn't be concealed, which made Chu wonder whether she was happy or angry.

After scolding, An picked up a towel beside her and wiped her hair for Chu.

"Wipe dry quickly, so as not to catch a cold."

"I won't catch a cold." Chu replied honestly.

An froze for a moment, blushed, and patted her on the head again.

"I know, if I tell you to wipe it, you can wipe it."

"Oh." Chu nodded. In her opinion, An's temperamental personality has not changed.

In short, the final result of this lucky fish was put back into the river by An, but she still treated the guests, even though it was the first meal.

At the beginning of spring, An went to buy seeds and planted them in the ground with Chu.

This allowed her to discover another usefulness of the original. With the original, she didn't even need to buy a machine for turning the ground, and it could be solved by one person.

Can you imagine what kind of expression a villager will have when he sees a man pulling a plow expressionlessly and plowing the ground while reading a comic book.

In short, she was known by all the villagers for the first time, which also allowed her to integrate into the life of this small village. When the neighbors sent Ann extra dishes, they would also bring her a portion.Although this way of integration is somewhat special, it is also a good start, isn't it?

Ann has been weaving scarecrows at home during this time. She asked neighbors to borrow a lot of straw, enough to make more than a dozen.

But because she only did this when she was a child, she has almost forgotten about it now, so several experiments failed.

Only recently has she been able to make normal scarecrows, albeit a little crooked.

On this day, Chu, who had finished digging the ground, was resting at home, and An was still sitting at the door tieing straws.

This was the last one, and one of the best she did.

When she drew the eyes and mouth on the scarecrow's head, she glanced at it for the first time, smiled slightly, picked up the pen in her hand, and gently drew a scar on the scarecrow's left eye. , just like the original one.

The one sitting on the side glanced at the scarecrow for the first time and asked curiously.

"Is this me?"

"No." Ann replied with a smile, stood up the scarecrow, and looked up.

The afternoon sun was a bit dull, casting the shadow of the scarecrow slantingly on the ground.

"I just think it looks a little more reliable this way." Looking at the scarecrow, Ann said word by word in a very soft and slow voice.
