Lord Helanza

The stone house of Selena’s house is located on the slope of the ravine on the other side of the river. A serious defect appeared. Although some soil was used to block the defect, after the rainy season came, the soil on the wall was washed away by rain, leaving some stains on the limestone wall.

The red thatch on the roof, the door panels and the windows are newly replaced. The wooden doors and windows still smell of varnish. There is a straw shed next to the stone house, which can be seen through the half-covered wooden door. There is a big wooden basin inside, the yard is very flat, and a row of broccoli is planted under the corner on the north side.

Selena took Signa into the stone house, and Surdak also walked in. The decoration in the house is very simple. The bedroom and the kitchen are connected together. There is only a wooden table and two in the house. On the chair, there is a rusty flower scissors hanging on the wall.

There were some cassava on the small ground table next to the fireplace. Signa placed the chestnuts he picked on the ground table. She sat down honestly and found a fist-sized stone from the fireplace. , Staring at the chestnut shells covered with thorns, smashed them fiercely with the stones in his hand, the chestnut shells cracked, and the brown chestnuts appeared from the inside like horse dung eggs.

Signa's profile and focused eyes are like carved out of the same mold as Selena, all her attention is on peeling chestnuts.

Surdak followed Selena into the house and sat on the wooden chair in front of the square table. This wooden chair was very smooth. On the wooden table was a sand table filled with fine river sand. Next to the sand table are two pens made from thin branches. The sand is filled with imperial characters. Some of the characters are neatly written, and some are very immature. Obviously this is used by Selena to teach Signa to read. Sand table.

Selena sat across from Surdak, and the two sat face to face. Surdak carefully examined the beautiful face of the woman in front of her. Her waist was straight and her linen skirt was clearly outlined. Out of the outline of the body, her figure is a little thin, but her eyes are very clear and bright.

She is the kind of woman who is very attractive. She has a well-proportioned skeleton without losing her sensuality. Her neck is a bit long, which makes her figure very tall.

"Thank you!"

Selena opened her mouth and said a word of thanks to Surdak.

"I haven't helped you much."

Surdak shrugged, his gaze was accidentally on Selena’s chest, looking inside through the thin linen The white and greasy skin made him stunned for a while, and then his heart beat violently, and the blood in his body rushed to his head. He immediately realized that it was rude to stare at the other party like this, so he quickly retracted his gaze and dropped his gaze on On the sand table on the table, use a dry cough to ease the embarrassment.

Selena stood up to the closet and poured a glass of water for Surdak. The fingers of the hand holding the water glass looked extremely slender, but the palm of her hand was covered with some fine cracks. She put the water glass on the table Go up and push it in front of Surdak.

Surdak thinks that we should find a topic, "Will you write empire text?"

Selena put her long hair behind her ears with her hands, and her eyes fell on the sand table on the table. , Some unnaturally said: "Well, I worked as a maid in Hoyle Manor for 3 years, and studied with Miss Hoyle."

Surdak suddenly felt like I heard the name of this noble lady. , And then I remembered that after I killed the robber that day, the noble lady rescued seemed to have this name, and I heard that Hoyle Manor was also ransacked by robbers.

So Surdak said: "Miss Hoyle, this name is a bit familiar. I seem to have met her. Her luck has not been very good recently."

Selena lifts suddenly. the head, with a pale face and a silent question: "What happened to Miss Hoyle?"

Surdak didn't expect Selena and Miss Hoyle were old acquaintances.

I wanted to know this relationship a long time ago, and that Miss Hoyle should have brought it back to Wall Village.

"A group of robbers ransacked her manor and killed her family." Surdak said truthfully.

"..." Selena calmed down.

Her eyes are still full of worries. At this time, she turned off the topic and said to Surdak: "Thank you for helping me out yesterday. I really don't want to leave Signa..."

"I know." Surdak laughed faintly, gently rotating the water glass in his hand. "Oh, by the way, since you are literate, that would be great. Recently, the village may have to do some accounts and need your help. I heard that the salary is pretty good. I guess I will find you within two days."

After finishing speaking, Surdak got up from the chair and stepped out of the stone house, as if he had come here to talk about it.

Selena leaned against the door and looked at Surdak's leaving back. There was a touch of worry in her green eyes.

……

At night, everyone gathered at the old village chief’s house.

There were a lot of people here. The living room of the old village chief’s house couldn’t fit so many people. They gathered in the courtyard of the old village chief’s house. There were more than 20 people without that many stools. The youngster stood at the outermost periphery. The two wives of the old village chief made some barley tea for everyone.

In addition to some masons in the village, Selena is also among the participants.

But she seemed a little out of place with this group of people. Standing alone under the eaves by the window, she looked outstanding.

The old village chief sat in the middle and saw that the people were almost here, so he put the pipe in his hand aside, and drank a sip of hot tea before he said, "I believe everyone also understands. , We found some sulfur in the mountain. We need a group of people to mine this thing out of the mountain. The scale is not too large, but these sulfur mines are associated with some stalagmites and are not easy to mine, so this is why we invite everyone to come. , I hope you can do something for the village!"

Mr. Bright also briefly said that the environment in the mountains is difficult, and he said that at least half a month should be brought in the mountains when going out this time. You can come back before the harvest festival. If you have something to do with you, you need to bring it up as soon as possible.

"Bright uncle..." A big tanned man in the crowd squeezed up, loudly shouted.

"Why, you don't want to?" The old village chief bluffed and stared at him and asked.

The big black guy was a little embarrassed. He immediately scratched his head and shouted: "I didn't say that I didn't want to. I just think that this time, let us masons, the village has to feed us at least, in the mountains. There is a small half a month in it, so we can’t let us bring our own dry food!"

The old village chief knocked on the pipe in his hand, scared the big black man back two steps in a row, he was in the village It is famous for eating, but the appetite is big, and hard work is also a good player. The old village chief feigned angrily: "How many meals do you want the village to provide you?"

The big black guy is a little honest He put forward his own request: "It is best to have three meals a day..."

"Ah!" As if someone kicked behind him, the big black screamed, but he didn't even have his head. Dare to return, he quickly changed his words and said: "...Two meals a day!"

The old village chief squinted his eyes, leaned in front of him, tapped his sturdy chest with a pipe, and asked:" Are you sure you only need two meals a day?"

At this time, just listen to the big black belly making gu lu gu lu noises, causing everyone to laugh.

The big black guy also felt a little sorry. He scratched his head and smiled and said: "Of course I can drink a little thinner before going to bed at night, that would be better."

Old The village chief patted the shoulders of the big black man and said with a smile: "This is completely fine. I originally wanted to fight for the wages of one silver pin a day for each of you. Now it seems that it is unnecessary. !"

When the old village chief said this, the surrounding stonemasons were excited.

"Big, you stupid pig..."

"Ah! Bright uncle, I promise to get up from bed early tomorrow..."
