Tonymu Town is a small village built around Butu City. There are very few households here, less than thirty households scattered here. However, the lives of the residents here are very quiet and comfortable.
It is built near an oasis and is the source of a tributary of the Tebala River. There are lush plants and abundant seafood.
Moreover, this place is far away from Thebes and is a relatively hidden place.
In this small town, a few young guys came, and they seemed strange?
Of course, for the people in Tonimu Town, they do behave strangely.
There were two slightly older teenagers with dark skin, as if they had been exposed to the sun, but they were not annoying to look at.
So Zaler, the leader of this town, miraculously took them in.
They also gave them some daily necessities and fishing nets. These things are all precious in this backward town.
People in the town went over curiously to see what kind of method those three strange people had come up with that could impress the stubborn old man, the always serious leader Zahle.
…………………………
Tuvia was sitting under a date palm tree in the yard enjoying the shade. She seemed to be enjoying herself and being lazy wherever she went.
Jungst sat next to her, constantly playing with some dried fish in his hand. A fishy smell constantly hit her nostrils.
There were continuous sneezing sounds. Jungst looked a little unhappy, but he continued to patiently put the half-basket of dried fish on the table on the rope.
"You seem to be allergic to the smell of fish?" Tuvia was lying on a simple recliner, looking leisurely at a sheepskin medical book in his hand. His eyes never opened.
"Yes, princess." Jungst held his breath tightly, and the speed of his words unconsciously increased.
She really couldn't bear the smell.
Tuvia did not continue to ask, looking at her, it was already obvious.
She continued to stare at the medical book in front of her in fascination. Jungster took a curious look.
"Does the princess also like medical skills?"
Tuvia smiled and said nothing. She nodded as an answer.
She got this from old man Zaler. This old man likes to study medical skills, and Tuvia also happens to know ancient Chinese medicine.
So, she wrote a few prescriptions to the old guy, and he happily lent her some long-collected medical books.
It is said to be a medical book, but it is actually just various pictures drawn on parchment. Each chapter has a row of font instructions attached to the simple pictures. It is generally quite detailed.
It seems like he remembered something!
She looked up at the figure standing in the sun. The sun was facing away from his face, but that stubborn face was already covered in sweat.
Nut remained motionless under the scorching sun. He was walking like a wooden sculpture, and he had been doing this all morning.
Tuvia glanced at him, her eyes showing satisfaction. It had been a week since they arrived in this town. Apart from eating, the little guy was almost always practicing the basic postures she gave him.
I have never seen him cry out about suffering, nor have I ever seen him neglectful for even a second.
He slept very late at night, and Tuvia always heard noises coming from his house in the middle of the night.
In the morning, he got up unusually early again.
The catfish Jungster was handling at this time were all caught from the lake outside the town.
I have to say that for a child of eleven or twelve years old, Nut is really very diligent.
"Nute, stop." Tuvia called him.
"Yes!" Nut stopped immediately after hearing it.
"Go wash your face and come find me."
Nut nodded and obediently went to the tile in the corner of the yard, took a spoonful of water, poured it into the basin and started washing.
Tuvia stood up, walked to the one-meter-high wooden shelf at the door, and took a look at the green things placed inside.
"Nute, do you know how to read?" She looked back at the boy who silently walked behind her.
It seems that from that day on, this child rarely spoke.
During the time I lived here, it seemed that apart from talking to Tuvia, I never talked to anyone, not even Jungst, who I got to know day and night.
Of course, if Jungst didn't always look at him with the same eyes as facing an enemy, maybe she would be an exception.
"Go back to the master, Nut knows some of you."
Tuvia nodded. She took out a piece of parchment from her waist and handed it to Nut's hand. She said calmly, "Follow this method and finish all the papyrus."
Nut unfolded it and took a look, making sure that he knew all the words on it. Then he immediately accepted the order.
"yes!"
Nuttel started working quickly, and Tuvia walked back to the chair and sat down.
Jungst looked at it curiously for several times. Finally, he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and asked.
"What are you going to do, princess?"
Yesterday, they were ordered by Tuvia to go out and pick the papyrus that could be seen everywhere. Today, she asked Nut to start playing with it.
Jungster was curious, what is the use of this papyrus?
Tuvia still didn't answer her words. Jungster seemed to have become accustomed to it.
If she asked one day and Tuvia answered, that would be what surprised her.
Nut carefully followed the method Tuvia recorded. Although he didn't know what the use of Tuvia was, he told himself that he must perfectly complete what Tuvia asked him to do.
.
Because this is what he said when he swore at that time that he would be Tuvia's slave for the rest of his life. Therefore, he would never complain at all if his master asked him to do anything.
In the afternoon.
Nut finally removed the bast from all the papyrus, then split the pith part into long strips as wide as possible, and spread these long strips on the hard board in two layers.
Tuvia went over and took a look. He gave Nut an appreciative look and said, "Well done."
Then she squatted down and sprinkled a small amount of water on the flat papyrus thorns. The mucus on the vines and the water slowly spread all over the hard board.
After everything was done, the sky gradually became dark. Tuvia asked Jungster to cook, and the other party walked to the kitchen with a sad face.
But Nut continued to stand in the courtyard, pacing.
This seems to have become a habit, and Tuvia doesn't need to say anything.
Tuvia put the finished template in the house. She was never seen coming out after that.
Afterwards, the sound of stones hitting wooden boards could be heard from time to time in the yard.
It was not until dinner time that she finally walked out of the house. Her whole body smelled of sweat. Jungster frowned and hurriedly took a clean handkerchief and handed it to her.
"Princess, what are you doing? If you have anything to do, just tell Jungster. Why do you do it yourself?"
Tuvia wiped the sweat off her face. Then she sat at the dinner table and said, "You can't do these things. I have to do it myself."
She stopped talking and glanced at Jungst and Nut who remained silent.
