Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 6

As imagined, Jiang Xia didn't have anything special to bring, except for her two sets of clothes.What's more, there was no such thing as a dowry in ancient times. Could it be that she would bring clay bowls and basins or a few packets of herbs to her partner's house?Of course, there is no problem that the man dislikes not having a dowry. The males here should be most concerned about whether the female can have children!Although she has always been skeptical about Ares' choice of being her partner, Jiang Xia still had to follow him and leave Ewen's house.

In fact, this trip allowed Jiang Xia to see the real life of ancient orcs.Ares first took Jiang Xia to their new home to check in. Compared with the quiet, slow and old settlement before, this place is clearly the elite class of the entire tribe, like the difference between a shantytown and a villa district.From time to time, tall houses can be seen. The distance between the houses is very far, at least four or fifty meters away. It is also beneficial to think about the vast land and sparse population in ancient times. At least one family can occupy a large space. Jiang Xia in modern times What I envy most at the time are those small villas in American dramas with two-story buildings and a garden swimming pool.When she saw the future residence, all the confusion temporarily subsided, at least from the outside, her partner could barely be considered tall, rich and handsome.

I passed several houses along the way, none of which looked as exquisite as the one in front of me. Of course, this exquisiteness can only be relative, but it can also be reflected from the side that the owner of the house really put a lot of thought into it.The whole house is surrounded by a fence more than one meter high with branches and vines, leaving only an opening on the front. The vines on the fence still have green leaves and flowers, making the whole house different from other houses. Standing alone in the open space, there is a warm feeling inside.A large open space in front of the house had obviously been cleared, and there were only some weeds near the fence. Jiang Xia suddenly thought that it would be more perfect if a gravel road was laid on the way from the fence gate to the house.

Jiang Xia began to look carefully at her new home.The house is made of the same materials as Ai Wen’s house. They are all made of thick tree trunks. Some of them are buried in the ground for stability, and some are used as walls. The gaps between the trunks are filled with a mixture of soil and small stones. It looks very solid.The difference is, perhaps because of the presence of male orcs, the house was built relatively tall and strong.After Jiang Xia went in, she realized that the reason why it looked taller was because the house was a two-story structure.Of course, strictly speaking, it can’t be regarded as two floors, but the house is built higher, with a floor separated in the middle, just like many facade houses facing the street in modern times, the space is higher, and a layer of attic can be separated, Jiang Xia sees There is a square hole about two meters long and wide at the bottom of the attic near the wall, and a rope made of thick rattan hangs beside it. Where is the ladder?Do you only rely on this rope to go up?Before Jiang Xia could ask, Ares urged her into the living room.

Yes, Jiang Xia called the place where she is now the living room, because the room is not like the side-by-side rooms in Ai Wen's place, but closer to a modern suite.The entrance is a large rectangular room, with a door and a small window on one long side, and two doors on the other long side, which can enter the other two rooms, so the whole room looks like the most beautiful. Simple modern ensuite.

The entrance to the attic that Jiang Xia just discovered is right above the front door of the living room.Jiang Xia is standing in the center of the living room now, and she inadvertently gets closer to this layout of the house.In the central space of the living room, a round shallow pit was dug, surrounded by stones, and some ashes that were still glowing with sparks were placed in it. A tripod was supported on the shallow pit, and a pottery pot was hung on it. The pot was filled with hot water. , it seems that Ares burned it before he left.There are rows of pottery placed under the only small window in the house, but they are not placed on the ground, but placed on a piece of wood that is about two meters long and half a meter high and polished very flat.The wooden pillar, which seems to be more than half a meter wide, stands firmly by the wall. It is conceivable that this tree is not much smaller. Jiang Xia glanced at the orcs beside him, and thought that having a strong partner seemed to be a good decision .

Ares didn't know what the little female meant by looking at him thoughtfully, thinking that the other party had never seen this thing and was curious, so he kindly explained to her, "Beastmen are tall, and pottery is inconvenient to use on the ground, so I made a long wooden pier for these things. It’s not very high, and you females shouldn’t find it troublesome.”

Of course, it would not be troublesome. In fact, Jiang Xia, who is used to modern tables, wished that the taller the better, Jiang Xia shook her head while giving advice, with an unconsciously cheerful tone, "Well, this is very convenient. Hollow out the bottom, so that you can put a lot of things under it." Ares, who was preparing for the little female to make irresponsible remarks, couldn't help but hear a voice of approval, and looked at Jiang Xia in disbelief.Before he was a teenager, whenever he made some novel things at home, he would always be scolded by his mother. It is better to sit on the ground, and it is safer to place clay pots on the ground. On the skin, how aggrieved it must be, so he has always felt that females are troublesome, and it is not as comfortable as being alone.He has been waiting for the day when he will live alone as an adult, how free he will be.

I thought that if I had to choose a female partner to participate in his life, I would definitely face trouble again, but I didn't expect that the little female was very receptive, and perhaps one more person was not as difficult as imagined.Ares felt relieved, but he still didn't let go of his mouth, "You know the goods, but the clay pot is placed high, so you should be careful at ordinary times, otherwise it will be easy to break. Let's see your suggestion when I have time."

Jiang Xiaben just said it casually, everyone is not familiar with it, and she doesn't want to trouble others by coming up.

Then the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed. A large wooden pier one meter high was placed on the far left side of the living room, and there were several tree pier beside it. The experienced Jiang Xia knew that it was used as a table without opening his mouth. up.There are two small rooms, the larger one is the bedroom, which has a bed similar in shape to Ai Wen's house, but much larger in size.There are also some places to put clothes and the like, because Jiang Xia panicked when thinking about what the bedroom would be used for, and retreated without looking carefully.The other small room is even simpler, being used by Ares as a storage room.In fact, it is a small room, and the area is not small for Jiang Xia. The whole room is about 150 square meters. There are a few trees planted outside the back wall of the two small rooms. Ares said that they are some trees that can prevent insects and snakes.

Looking around, Jiang Xia became more and more satisfied with the accommodation conditions, and wished she could keep it for herself. Such a house could be called a mansion in ancient times, but when she thought that she was really allowed to live here as a little female, In two days, even the house and people could be forcibly robbed.Jiang Xia felt that she sighed more this day than in the past six months. Her only wish now is to get along well with the owner, her new partner, even if it is for this mansion where she can live and live.

The two gradually became acquainted, and Ares no longer looked like a peacock. Jiang Xia could ask him if he didn't understand something, and he would get an answer.For example, the reason why the walls in the house are so white is the white clay brought back by Ares when he went out for training once. Because it can also prevent insects and ants and make the room look bright, he painted it on the wall.While praising his good idea, Jiang Xia envied his good luck. This kind of thing that looks similar to white lime really adds a lot of color to the mansion.

But the good atmosphere between the two quickly disappeared because of Jiang Xia's small proposal.After visiting the first floor, Jiang Xia proposed to go to the small attic to have a look, and asked Ares with a smile if he usually used that vine to get up and down.A very common suggestion, at least from Jiang Xia's point of view, who knew that after the orc gave her a complicated look, he ignored her, turned and walked out of the room.

Jiang Xia was very embarrassed, she didn't know why she annoyed this person with peacock syndrome, and she couldn't really climb up by herself by grabbing the rope, so she had to bite the bullet and go back to the wooden pier in the living room and sit on her own. Where did I offend Ares.It seems that the attic is a taboo for his orc mate, no, more like a taboo for her.After getting rid of the initial embarrassment, Jiang Xia calmly analyzed, and finally decided that she will treat this attic as air in the future, not to be curious, not to explore, and for the sake of not annoying the orc, and for the original intention of allowing herself to live well.

Just when Jiang Xia was thinking hard about how to show Ares that she had no intention of coveting his attic, the orc turned back by himself. This time Jiang Xia held his breath and did not speak first. She wanted to know if Ares was still angry.

Fortunately, Ares seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and told her in a calm voice, "It's getting late, we have to go to the Bonfire Festival, and dinner will be settled there, pack up and go with me."

The tone was calm, and it seemed that the people in front of her also hoped that everyone would not remember what happened just now. Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. She only had two pieces of clothing in the bedroom, and there was nothing to clean up all over her body. She squeezed her waist casually Pan Aiwen specially asked the person who made the clothes to leave the bracelet in the hidden pocket, "I'm ready, let's go."

Saying goodbye to her new home, Jiang Xia walked quietly beside Ares. Although Ares no longer mentioned what happened just now, Jiang Xia no longer had the desire to talk. It means that she must always flatter a stranger who is not even a friend, and her self-esteem prevents her from doing that.The orc Ares also seemed to have noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere between the two, but it seemed impossible to make a peacock bow its head first, especially if the peacock hadn't realized what was wrong.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia has a good friend here, and the two of them didn't go far when Jiang Xia heard Qiqi calling her from behind, "Xia Xia, wait for us, let's go together." Beside Jiang Xia, he exaggeratedly took Jiang Xia's arm, "Our two families are very close, I will come to play with you when I have time."

"Okay, you are welcome to come often." Jiang Xia was so happy that someone diverted her attention, and chatted with Qiqi.

Ares spontaneously came together with Frode, and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now made him very awkward, and he had the illusion of losing his temper in the face of his mother. Sure enough, a female is a female, and there is a place for a female It means trouble.
