Aunt Susan patted her chest and was thankful that Annan was back. Annan was worried about whether Tasia was okay.
When he returned home, he saw old Zoron, who had survived, sitting in the yard, telling the story of being saved by a big guy.
Annan asked if the person who saved him was Tasia. Old Zoron stumbled and recalled: "I didn't pay attention, but the person who saved me... seemed... to have horns..."
Tasia is okay.
Then Aunt Susan started to chase old Zoron out. Little Annan, who almost killed her, still wanted to eat here?
Today's dinner is to bring back roasted meat and some washed wild vegetables, cook them together, and serve them with black bread.
Annan was still breaking the black bread and putting it into the broth, while Aunt Susan finished the bread in a hurry.
"Are you eating so fast?"
"The housework hasn't been done yet." Aunt Susan cleared up the housework accumulated during the day.
"Susan ate faster when she was younger."
Uncle Hollin followed Aunt Susan out of the kitchen with his eyes, remembering the scene many years ago when Susan was so hungry that she swallowed a whole piece of black bread.
At that moment, Holling realized that he must marry Susan.
"Aunt Susan was like this when she was young..."
Annan hasn't learned the words fat or plump yet, but the charm of language is just the right amount of blank space.
"Of course not, she was very thin before." Huo Lin recalled the girl he dug out from the pile of corpses. "At that time, we tried our best to survive..."
Now... let's put it this way, as a woodcutter who lives in the town and owns a house and family, Hollin's physique is almost the same as that of an ordinary professional, but standing next to Aunt Susan, he is like a monkey at the feet of a brown bear.
.
Annan ate very slowly. Brown bread was bran bread, and seeing a doctor in this environment was troublesome. He could only chew very carefully, chewing slowly and carefully, which Aunt Susan called "noble-like".
After dinner, and after washing the dishes with Martin who was waiting to do the dishes, Annan fell asleep in a simple town without nightlife.
Early the next morning, Annan asked Aunt Susan to help him find a job with a daily salary. But it was Uncle Huolin who helped him. He found Annan a good job - he had a job for a certain knight.
The friend who cleans the stables is sick, so Annan can work for him for two days. He only needs to clean the stables and feed the horses.
Uncle Huolin went to contact him early in the morning and agreed that Annan would take over for two days and the reward would be 30 copper coins.
Annan could go out alone, but Aunt Susan was still worried and asked Martin to send him there.
Passing through the bustling streets of Pinglin Town, a mansion with a completely different temperament than that of the town is located in the garden. The guards patrolling the surrounding area are obviously much more frequent than those at Aunt Susan's house.
"Sooner or later I want Uncle Hollin and Aunt Susan to live in such a big house." Martin muttered with longing.
After walking around the main entrance of the mansion, Annan saw the groom waiting for him, and asked Martin to go back and follow the groom into the stable in the backyard.
There is no peculiar smell in the stables, and Annan does not need to do the most troublesome tasks of feeding and cleaning the horses. He only needs to clean up the feces occasionally.
In his spare time, Annan admired the green plants and flowers in the garden, and occasionally looked at the whitewashed walls of the mansion, imagining how much gold it would cost to buy this garden mansion.
Of course, what he likes most is chatting with the groom.
But the groom didn't like it, so Annan turned to staring at the garden and the mansion in a daze.
In the afternoon, Annan's unfocused eyes suddenly fell towards the silhouette that appeared on the terrace.
The purple lace dress outlines her plump figure, and her long wavy hair is casually draped over her shoulders. The red lips under her straight nose are stunning.
Annan thought she looked familiar, and so did the woman on the terrace.
Annan was still smeared with ashes by Aunt Susan before going out, but her black hair was very recognizable.
Is this the fourth or fifth time I’ve met the Wine Lady?
It was just the frown that ruined the fateful encounter: "Are you following me?"
However, it was a bit far away, and Annan couldn't quite understand him. When the wind came to his ears, the questioning became "you...me?".
At the critical moment, Annan was so blessed that he remembered Mr. Fast's teachings.
"Yes……"
The wine lady's eyebrows gradually unfurled, and the corners of her lips curved. She remembered that this boy "claimed" that he didn't know the common language.
"Why are you here?"
This time Annan understood. He picked up the pitchfork for picking up horse manure from under the shed and raised it to show.
"Mr. Fast is gone, I'm working!"
"I hope the next time I meet you won't be in my bedroom."
Annan understood half of it and guessed the other half, thinking that I want to be a mage but not a thief.
When she still wanted to talk to the "big boss" in Mr. Fast's words, she had already turned and left the terrace. The wine lady left, and Annan had to go to the groom to continue practicing her oral English.

Lady Wine opened the door that was knocked, and Sir Sean said worriedly: "The servant said there was shouting coming from your room, and I'm worried something might happen."
"When I saw a familiar little guy, I sighed that there was no scenery outside the window."
"It's definitely not as good as the Breeze City at the foot of the snow-capped mountains..." Sir Sean stepped forward and followed the wine lady before opening the door, "You look familiar, little guy?"
"A boy working around. I want something to eat."
Sir Sean waved his hand and asked the servant to lead the wine lady to the restaurant for dinner. He then came to the terrace where the smell of perfume lingered.
Looking around the empty garden and the only visible stable.
Leaving the terrace and the room, the man called to the housekeeper: "What's going on in the garden and stables recently?"
"Uh... a groom asked for leave yesterday, and a young man was hired to replace him... What's the matter, sir?"
"nothing."
The male master said it was nothing, but the housekeeper didn't think so. He hurried to the stable and shouted at the young man who raised his head: "You..."
Those clear eyes made the butler inexplicably swallow back his usual acrimony, and temporarily changed his words: "Unlucky guy, Sir has discovered you, get out of here quickly before he causes you trouble."
The butler didn't know why Sir Sean asked, he just didn't want to get into trouble.
Annan had to leave the stables where he had only worked for a few hours, and he did not even get today's salary.
The unreasonable disaster he suffered was obviously related to the wine lady.
Without a job, Annan began to think about where to make money. There were spirits in the pub, coffee and tea in the restaurant, and even the houses of the poor had a few pieces of glass full of impurities, which blocked Annan from using simple and easy methods.
The idea of getting money.
Gunpowder and papermaking? Annan doesn't know if this world exists, and even without him, he wouldn't be able to recreate it... But it is said that there is a magic that can recall forgotten memories.
But this creates a paradox: Annan needs to become a mage to remember the forgotten knowledge, and only by remembering the forgotten knowledge can he have the money to become a mage.
On the way back, Annan still looked at the library with a longing for knowledge, and the old man sitting in the sunshine behind the window.
For the next two days, Annan was forced to accompany Martin in chasing wild dogs and adventuring in the woods. On the third day, Mr. Fast finally returned from the city.
