Early in the morning, as soon as Shaq woke up from his sleep, he felt sore in his body.
That's because yesterday, in order to express herself in front of Werther, she did more work.
She propped up the window with a wooden stick and saw a man pushing a cart outside. This man looked like he was shopping. He was Mrs. Agnes's spy Noli.
There was a large bag filled with unknown content on the cart, and a delicate small box. The box was small, oblate, and looked like it was made of purple glass, with a pink star inlaid on the front.
Crystal. The whole box sparkled in the early morning sun, so beautiful.
Shaq has never used anything made of glass or crystal. She only made glass decorations for others when she was doing odd jobs in the past.
What a beautiful box, Shaq thought to himself. Such a box must be very expensive. Only girls from aristocrats or wealthy families can afford it. People like me should not wish to own it.
She looked at the man next to the cart again. The man wore a large straw hat and covered his face with linen. Only his eyes were exposed. Those eyes were calm and full of bewitching, making people want to explore the mystery of him.
.
"Sir." Shaq couldn't help but ask, "What are you selling?"
Noli didn't say anything at first, but picked up the small box and turned it around in mid-air.
Shaq was attracted by the brilliant colors of the small box and stared at it without moving.
"Here is a beauty cream that can make women look radiant." Noli said in a bewitching voice, "If you are interested, Miss, you might as well give it a try."
Shaq was a little moved. She touched her empty pocket and said, "But I don't have any money."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can try this beauty cream of mine. If you find it useful, just wait until you save enough money and come to me to buy it."
"But how do you convince me that your beauty cream is useful?"
"Haha, miss, if my beauty cream is useless, I won't sell it."
"You put it on your hands and try it. If it works, I will use it."
Noli burst out laughing and said, "Miss, you are really interesting. I will apply it on my hand to show you."
Noli opened the small box, took out part of the ointment, and applied it on the back of his hand. The back of his hand suddenly became smooth and delicate. Of course, in order to prevent Shaq from seeing the dark red spots that were about to appear, he quickly hid his hand behind his back.
At this time, the innocent Shaq really believed Noli's words, and she thought to herself, it turns out that this ointment really works.
She touched her cheek, her young and delicate skin was very smooth, but she still hoped that she would become more beautiful, so maybe the lord she liked would look at her more.
What's more, you don't have to buy it after using it. Why not do this kind of good thing?
After making up her mind, she said to Noli: "I want to give it a try."
"Miss, you will definitely feel like a changed person after using it." Noli handed the small box to Shaq.
After Shaq got the small box, he sat in front of the mirror and applied the ointment on his face.
Just after applying it, she discovered that she seemed to be a different person, but it was not that she became beautiful at all, but dense dark red spots appeared on her face. Although the dark red spots were small, they were spread in every corner of her face.
, causing her to suddenly lose her former luster, and even look a bit like a monster.
How could a fifteen-year-old girl with really good skin endure such sudden changes?
She was so frightened that she almost fainted. She grabbed the delicate box, walked to the window, and asked Noli angrily: "What on earth is this? Why do I
This is what your face will look like after applying it!”
Noli laughed a few times and said, "Miss, dark red spots have appeared so quickly."
"It turns out you did it on purpose. I have no enmity with you. Why did you do this?"
"Miss, I want to ask you a favor. If you do it, I will give you the antidote to ensure that your face returns to its original appearance."
"It turns out that you are asking for help from me and that's why you are hurting me like this. What's the matter? Tell me."
"I would like to ask the lady to spread this bag of lime on the fields reclaimed by His Majesty the Lord. The amount must be excessive to ensure that it is difficult to grow plants in the soil."
“Isn’t lime spreading good for the soil?”
"Haha, the soil in that area does not need to be improved by spreading lime. In this case, if too much lime is spread, it will worsen the soil."
Shaq really wanted to restore her beauty, but she didn't want to frame the Lord.
"I don't know what grudge you have against the lord, but I will not betray the lord. You can make other demands."
"Haha~" Noli said, "My purpose of harming you is to ask you to spread lime. How could I give you other demands? Don't think too rigidly. Your Highness, the lord, has been framed.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing for you.”
"Why did you say that?"
"Don't you want to spend more time with your lord? Think about it, if the lord's planting plan fails, will he have to find out the reason and will he have to spend more time in the fields?
,At that time, wouldn’t you have more chances to see him?”
"How do you know what's on my mind? Did you eavesdrop?"
"Yes, I can hear your thoughts clearly. I have firmly grasped your handle, you can only do what I say."
"But what if someone discovers that I spread lime?" Shaq frowned.
"As long as you go to the fields secretly at night, you won't be discovered." Noli laughed a few more times, "Don't forget that I also have your antidote here, the antidote that can help you restore your beauty.
.”
"You are so insidious. I have no choice now but to agree to your request." Shaq bit his lip hard until the skin broke.
"Don't worry, as long as you can prevent that land from growing anything, I will definitely help you restore your appearance." Noli patted the big bag on the cart again, "Here is lime, and I will return it at night."
Keep sending it to you. Remember, you must spread it in large quantities."
"All right."
In order not to let the adoring lord see his appearance, Shaq put on a thick veil before going to the farm.
Finally at night, Shaq, who had returned home from the farm, returned to the farm. She pushed the cart Noli gave her. There were many bags filled with lime on the cart. These limes were only part of it. Shaq put the lime
After scattering, I have to go to my home and bring it back.
Shaq pouted and squatted on the ground, holding a small shovel with both hands, poking around in the soil in a vent, thinking, I am so irritated. If I destroy this place, I don’t know how disappointed the lord will be. Really.
Damn it, it’s all that man’s fault! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be in such a dilemma.
Just when Shaq was debating whether to spread lime or not, she suddenly heard a huge flapping of wings in the distance.
She looked up and saw a woman flying towards her in the night sky.
"Wow, what is that? It looks like a person, but it has wings!" Shaq fell to the ground in fright.
The woman landed steadily in front of her, stared at the bags on the cart, and asked expressionlessly: "Shaq, what are those?"
Shaq
After trying hard to see the appearance of the woman in front of him, he realized that she was the green-eyed maid beside the lord.
"You, are you the person named Lina?" Shaq opened his eyes wide and pointed at Lina with trembling fingers, "I didn't expect you could fly. Are you a vampire? The Lord knows that you are a vampire.
?"
"Of course Werther knows about this, and he also knows that I just like to go out for a walk at night. Unfortunately, I saw what you did just now. What I want to know more now is, what were you doing just now?"
"I, I'm..." Shaq was thinking anxiously about what to say, "I'm thinking of ways to help the lord improve the soil, just use this lime."
Linna stepped forward, looked at the lime in the bag, and said: "When I was in Bruding, I saw neighbors spreading lime into the soil, but they only spread lime when there was a problem with the soil.
The soil here in Xinli is extremely suitable for planting, and there is no need to add lime at all.”
"I, I...that's because..." Shaq sat on the ground, poking at each other with his two index fingers on his chest, his eyes were very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look up at Lina.
At this time, Lina's tone suddenly became gentler: "Hey, you are a girl, right?"
"Huh?" Shaq was suddenly stunned. He put his hand on his head and found that the hat was still there. "How did you see it?"
"Your inadvertent expressions and actions betrayed yourself. You often concealed your female characteristics and looked at Werther with admiring eyes. In fact, I suspected that you were disguised as a man yesterday, but it was not convenient to reveal it at the time.
That's all." Lina extended her right hand to Shaq, "Stand up first."
For some reason, Shaq actually felt understood. She was suddenly moved and her eyes turned red. You know, Shaq had long forgotten the feeling of crying during his lonely life, and now no difficulty would make her cry.
When I came out, I was moved.
Shaq grabbed Lina's hand tightly with both hands. He wanted to hold her hand and get up. Unexpectedly, he was shocked by the low temperature of this hand and sighed: "Wow, it's so cold! Has your body temperature always been this low?
"
"My hands have always been cold. They have been so since I was a child. Don't talk about this. I think your legs are weak now. Why don't I pull you up."
Shaq held Lina's hand tightly and was pulled up by Lina. She knew that Lina would not harm her, so she made up her mind and took off the veil covering her face, revealing the dense dark red spots.
.
"Although it's dark now, you can still see these things on my face."
Lina remained expressionless, looking at Shaq very calmly, and asked: "Besides the face, is there anything else strange about him?"
Shaq shook his head and said, "Only the face."
"Why did it become like this?"
"Well, I don't know whether I should say that my life is miserable. Maybe the facts are hard for you to believe, but this thing really happened to me." Shaq said slowly, "It's all my fault for being careless and being killed by a bad person.
I was targeted, and the bad guy tricked me into applying poison-laced ointment, so my face became like this, and the real purpose of the bad guy was to harm the lord."
"So he threatens you with an antidote for spreading too much lime into these soils?"
"Wow, you guessed it so quickly, and you guessed it right."
"Damn it, the person who wants to harm Werther is using you again!" Lina's eyes were fixed on the lime in the car, her tone full of anger.
Then, Lina looked at Shaq: "It's better to find out this matter. Are you willing to go to the castle and tell Werther everything?"
"I do." Shaq nodded and put on the veil, "Will you carry me and fly back in the sky?"
"No." Lina turned her back and said, "Let's walk back."
