Chapter 133 The Girl Next Door

Night House.

In the small pavilion by the lake, Eidolon was fishing with a fishing rod, while Roland Hill was sitting on the other side of the pavilion reading a book.

There are open wooden boxes on the steps of the fence, and there are still unfinished snacks and candies in them, which are occasionally picked up by the girls next to them and put into their mouths.

"Fish, fish, take the bait~" Ye Ling, who was sitting by the fence, held a long fishing rod in his hand, catching the golden carp in his own pond.

"Meow~"

A black cat stretched out its limbs in Ye Ling's arms, stretched its waist greatly, rubbed it, and then lay down peacefully, letting the afternoon sun slant on its belly.

"Xiao Hei, you are getting fat, woo."

&nb The soft fur of the rua black cat, Ye Ling looked at the big black cat with regret. I think back then when I caught it and raised it, it was still a very small one, and its milky voice was very cute. As a result, I fell asleep halfway through, this guy has grown up so quickly.

Pressing the black cat's forehead with his fingers, let its head move a little bit, and then quickly retracted when it stretched out its paws to fight back, and Eidolon played with the cat again for a while.

chirp~

Under the eaves of the pavilion, two little birds were squatting on the beams. The one Dai Ju looked down, and while Yeling was playing with the cat, he slipped down and stood beside the wooden box holding the snacks. Brain sizing. Then he quickly pecked a chestnut, then grabbed a piece of pastry and flew back to the beam. His flexible posture was really inconsistent with his fluffy body.

Lorraine Hill, who was reading the book on the side, turned the pages, and when he noticed it, he raised his eyes and saw the Dai Chrysanthemum bird who was stealing it.

Stealing again, this little guy. The girl silently made a note for it and decided to give it a reduced meal today.

After coming to Luojing, Roland Hill actually wanted to meet the witch with the dragon vein, that is, Chifeng. It's a pity that Tuogulie has not responded after asking about the Chun lawsuit.

Although he knew that Chifeng lived on Yuzhang Mountain, it was not easy for Roland Hill to force his way. After all, no one knew what the interior was like. Recalling what happened under Mozwa, Roland Hill is still a little scared.

If Tides had not prepared a stand-in for her at that time, she would have been petrified by the power left by the Salt Witch. And Suqin, as the red phoenix of the Plantagenet Dynasty, has no reason not to be guarded strictly.

Just when she was thinking about things related to witches and Wufeng, Ye Ling on the side seemed to be tired of fishing, or it was strange that this lively little guy could sit there quietly and fish.

Eidolon put the fishing rod down for a while, then put the black cat on the fishing rod and pressed the end of the rod.

"Stay here and don't move, if you catch a fish, I'll feed you a snack tonight~" Ye Ling bent down and instructed the big black cat who didn't understand.

"Hee hee, that's it, don't move." Ye Ling looked at the black cat, and a pair of dragon pupils blinked.

Seeing the black cat lying obediently on the fishing rod, Ye Ling also stood up as if liberated at last, with his hands on his hips, as if he had done something remarkable.

Then she turned around and trotted to Roland Hill again.

"That, Sister Roland. How long will you stay in the East?" Ye Ling was very reluctant to hear that Roland Hill was going back to the Western Continent recently.

"It is estimated that after the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, I will go to Longquan Bay to see it. There is a large port leading to the west, and it is estimated that we will get a lot of news from the sea."

"Well, that's it." Ye Ling sat beside Roland Hill, wanting to take a nap by leaning against her lap.

Even though Ye Ling was awake now, the blood vessels in his body were not fully awakened, so he was often sleepy. In a daze, the little guy fell asleep leaning on Roland Hill, and his body entered a regular breathing ups and downs.

Looking at the girl who had barely changed her appearance in her arms, Roland Hill stretched out her hand to straighten her up a little, and at the same time straightened a little of her hair.

The off-white hair is very soft, and it hangs behind her head and in front of her body, surrounding her smooth little face. On her forehead, there are two small milky white and silver horns, about a finger long, slightly curved to the side and back. You can also feel the hard threads on it with a light touch.

It feels like a little dragon girl, Roland Hill thought to herself.

The dragon blood in Ye Ling's body is still in the process of awakening. According to the comparison of some classics, it is estimated that this little guy will not only have dragon horns, dragon wings, but also a long dragon tail behind him.

If she wants to fully recover her body, it is estimated that she will not be able to do it until she reaches Sequence 8. Before that, bloodlines that could not be fully controlled would show the characteristics of a dragon on the body.

But this little guy doesn't care.

At first, Roland Hill was afraid that she would care about her appearance change, become strange and unattractive, etc., but Eidolon obviously didn't think so.

"But, it's going to be cool. It looks like I'm amazing~"

Alright, alright, Roland Hill is not good to comment on this, but it is a happy thing to think so.

The afternoon sun shone quietly in the courtyard of the Yefu, and the lotus leaves on the edge of the small lake swayed with the breeze, causing ripples to spread on the water.

The hook that had no fish before suddenly swayed at this moment, and several golden-red carp collided with each other and competed for the bait on it.

puff~

The carp that grabbed the hook pulled on the rod, while the tail slapped the water. The black cat resting on the fishing rod stood up in horror and looked at the suddenly moving and bouncing fishing rod below.

Seeing that the fishing rod was about to leave the fence and fall into the water, Roland Hill reached out and called out to the two birds on the roof beam.

Tweet ~ (know~)

Two birds, one yellow and one blue, fell quickly

, Among them, the dark-crowned blue jay grabbed the tail of the fishing rod abandoned by the black cat with both feet, while Dai Ju flapped his wings and grabbed the head of the fishing rod.

Then it wrestled with the fish below, grabbed the rod from time to time and flew up the fishing line to straighten it, pulling the carp out of the water, but then the carp swung rapidly in the air and fell into the water, causing a burst of waves.

The black cat was a little scared after being splashed by the water, and trotted all the way to Ye Ling's side, and rubbed the little master's leg, as if to say, it's not that I was powerless, but the carp was too powerful and cunning.

Although the carp struggled for a while, the Dai Ju was obviously more powerful. No matter how it was said, it had risen to Sequence 4 by eating and sleeping, so it would not be a problem to treat this carp.

It took the fishing rod together with the blue jay, then dragged the carp out of the water and swayed back and forth in the air, its red and white scales reflecting bursts of water in the sunlight.

"Well, what's the matter." Ye Ling was also woken up at the moment, rubbed his eyes, and looked out of the pavilion a little blankly, two birds and one fish fighting in the air.

"It's amazing, there are actually birds that can fish."

Saying that, she stood up from Loren Hill's arms, came to the fence, and watched carefully.

"Looks like there's some fish to eat tonight~"

Does she really want to eat the golden carp in her pond? Roland Hill looked at this little guy in surprise.

For a while, Ye Ling came up with the activity of grilling fish by the lake tonight, and then asked his brother for materials and tools.

————————

Just when Roland Hill woke up in the Eastern Continent Su, big and small things happened in the Western Continent.

The Canghong Empire, or the former Green Empire, the eastern soft-leaf collar, the town of Tyron.

"Bumansa, is Bumansa there?" A voice sounded in the store facing the street.

"Yes, here I am."

Following the voice, a girl with curly chestnut hair came out from the back room of the store, holding a large plate of bread in her arms.

Looking at the sweet and steaming bread, the visiting guests couldn't help but feel a little more appetite.

"It's really fragrant. As expected of Bumansa, what she makes is delicious."

"Hahaha, it's actually nothing, it's all very common materials."

The girl next door was wearing a simple apron and shirt. Although it was not gorgeous, it was neat and clean, which complemented her snow-white skin.

"Speaking of which, Bumansha is in her early twenties, isn't she thinking of getting married yet?" the neighbor on the street asked casually.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Well, it's actually true. Bumansa graduated from Emenas. In our small town, it is estimated that no one can match you."

After picking out a few large buns, the aunt next door raised her head, looked at the pretty and slightly plump girl, and nodded slightly from time to time.

"If you wear a beautiful dress, you will definitely look better than the eldest lady of the noble family."

"Thank you Aunt Xena for your compliment, here it is." Bumantha packed the bread and handed it to the woman.

"Hey, in fact, I can't help but want to give you an idea, just listen to it, you don't have to accept it." After the old lady took the bread, she began to speak.

"When I was young, I also went to a big city. It was very prosperous. I could meet many nobles and rich people. Even the things on the street were much more expensive than our small town."

"Actually, with your talent, staying in this small town is a bit buried. If you can go to a big city, the bread and snacks you make can easily sell for three or four times the price."

"In addition, there are more powerful and talented people in big cities. If you go there, maybe you can meet the right person and get a happy marriage."

"Don't be in a hurry to deny me, I know that you have learned a lot and your own strength is very strong, but girls, the most beautiful and young time is these years. If you don't take this opportunity to take advantage of it, when you are older, It's not good to seize that opportunity."

"Moreover, now that your parents are healthy, it's not that there is no money left at home, and you don't have to work so hard to stay in the store all the time."

"Go outside and have a look. Maybe in a few years, there won't be such a good opportunity."

Listening to the aunt's persuasion and advice, Bumansha nodded with a smile. She knew that this one was also kind, and after listening patiently, she slowly bid him farewell.

After returning to the store, the girl picked up the used dishes and utensils and went to the back room to wash them.

The oil stains and residues dissipated with the flow of water, and then they were wiped clean by the girl, and then placed on the wooden frame under the window to dry in the shade. Looking at the neat and clean hut, Bumantha showed a slight smile on her face.

Then she took off the turban on her head, shook it a little, and her chestnut-blond hair fell out of it, glistening in the sunlight.

Crouching down and looking at the scabbard placed under the dark compartment in the cabinet, the girl paused for a while, then closed the cabinet door and came to the small courtyard behind the shop.

Picked up a wooden sword that was placed on the barrel, it was her brother's toy.

The rough wooden sword swung and swung easily in this girl, like a butterfly in the forest, dancing in the sunlight.

After practicing the swing for a while, she put the sword down again and continued to rest it on the barrel.

Because my brother once told him that this is my thing, and my sister should not take it around. This child is only seven years old, just like a little adult, he has his own ideas.

Although I was a little touched by what this aunt said today, for Bumansha, she does not have much ambition and desire, just an ordinary and leisure life, which makes her satisfied

.

Three months later, at Bumantha's home.

The family is clearing the table after dinner.

"Bumantha, don't go back in a while."

"Yes, Father." Bumansa raised her head in surprise and looked at her father.

"Lu Ou, let's go, don't disturb the conversation between father and sister." The mother on the side seemed to have already discussed it, and took her young son away.

"Um."

The child looked at his sister and father curiously, and then left with his mother in small steps.

The room was quiet again, and Bumansa sat upright at the table, waiting for her father to speak.

Looking at his daughter's appearance, the father seemed a little distressed.

"Actually, you can be a little... um, a little bit more willful."

In order to ease the atmosphere, the man picked up a rolled cigarette and lit it slowly beside the candle. Small sparks appeared on the tobacco shreds and burned quietly.

After taking a breath, the man looked at Bumantha and continued.

"As for me, although I have worked for the baron's garden for a while, I have a little reputation in the town. But it is really trivial to get it to other places in the outside world."

"You've been very obedient since you were a child, and you haven't bothered me. You can usually help your mother do something. I see these things in my eyes."

"It is the most honorable and proud thing in my life to have a daughter who can enter Emenas to study and graduate normally."

"Since you went to Emenas, when I went to the pub to drink, a large group of people could please me and pay for me. This is really a happy thing."

"I've always been proud of you."

"However, Bumantha, I've heard some bad rumors recently."

"Someone said that I kept my daughter at home, not letting her shine, but only a tool to make money through labor. This made me very angry." The father knocked the cigarette ashes.

Bumantha looked at her father, her face swayed by the light and shade of the candlelight, she remained calm and quiet.

"So, I decided to send you out." The father unbuttoned his collar and took out a folded envelope.

"I knew a friend when I was young. He is currently working in Wanglonggang. It is said that he works in a famous dim sum house. It just so happens that there is a shortage of people there, because many young men have joined the army."

"Go to him with this letter, and he can help you find a job in the pastry shop. Haven't you always liked to make pastries, and I think this will be easy to do."

"In addition, Wanglonggang is the most prosperous city in the Landsworth family's fief. There are many nobles and wealthy people there. If you go to buy snacks on weekdays, you may encounter a lot."

"If you find the right person, just marry him, and that's one thing on my mind."

"You don't have to say no to me. My daughter is so beautiful and smart. I believe no one will look down on her. It's just that you don't usually dress up much."

"Speaking of this, when you make money, you can buy some good clothes for yourself. Now that you are grown up, we can't support you all the time. I have to save some money for your brother to go to school."

Bumantha listened quietly, and when her father finished speaking, she slowly lowered her head: "I see, father."

"Well, that's it, go to bed early."

After that, Bumantha stood up and walked slowly out of the room.

The candlelight was still flickering, and the man was smoking a cigarette silently, letting the fluttering tobacco shroud him gradually.

With a creak, the door opened again, and a woman walked in, it was Bumantha's mother. She has a face and hair color similar to Bumantha, but with some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"Have you talked to Bumansa?" The woman took the cigarette from the man's mouth and put it aside to snuff it out.

Looking at the unfinished cigarettes, the man replied, "Well, finished."

"How did she answer?"

"She said she knew, that is, she agreed. It's not that you don't know the character of this child. She has always been obedient."

"Hey, when I was a child, I was really happy to have such an obedient child, which is very worry-free, but now I'm a little worried." The mother held her hand, put it between her knees, moved her body, and continued.

"When she first graduated, not only the baron, but also several earls in the nearby territories sent invitations, hoping that she could go to work there. Her job is also very simple, that is, to accompany the earl's children to study. Every month, she can get several gold coin, and this salary will continue to rise.”

"But she didn't want to go, so we didn't force her to continue working from home."

"It's just that it's not good after a long time."

"Just like an oriental proverb, how can a dragon stay under a small and simple hut."

"She has such a special talent, but it is always a pity that she was wasted in this plain town."

"And it's not easy for us to persuade her directly. After all, the child is old and has his own ideas and thoughts, so we can only use this method to force her to leave."

"I hope that after she went to the prosperous Wanglonggang, she saw many new things, and could germinate more lofty aspirations."

"I am proud to have such a daughter, but I also hope that she can break free from our limitations and step onto a broader stage."

In the room, the two of them talked about Bumansha's events from childhood to adulthood, some of which were warm, some of which were cute, which made the father and mother feel the passage of time, and sometimes a little sad.

The lights in the house were still burning, and a little orange evening light spilled through the curtains, reflecting the grass and courtyard outside the house.

With her legs lightly leaning against the wall beside the window, the girl with chestnut-gold hair leaned against the wall with her hands behind her back, quietly listening to the subtle words, slowly raising her head, and looking at the starry night sky.

A wider stage?

Many expectations and fantasies slowly awakened from my mind.
