Chapter 627 Everyone's Story

"Hua——"

Tilan poured water into the wooden bathtub, then tested the water temperature and felt it was about right.

"Oles, come here." She looked at the ice elf squatting on the side looking at the oil lamp and asked her to come over to take a bath.

"Take off your clothes first." After Tilan said it, she felt a little strange, but there seemed to be no better way.

"Clothes?" Oles was a little confused at this time, just looking at Tilan.

"These are what you are wearing." Tilan thought for a while and continued.

"Because the bath will get wet, you need to take them off in advance."

"Okay." This time the ice elf girl understood, but soon her clumsy movements made Tilan think that she should do it herself.

"Sit down." Stopping the ice elf girl's helpless movements, Tilan asked her to sit on the bench, then helped her slowly untie the laces from the back of her collar, and then took off the complicated hair accessories on Oles's head, and then the decorative blue ribbon on her wrist.

After a while, Tilan finally finished everything and let Orlesi slowly step into the basin and let her sit in the large bathtub.

"Well, that's it, don't move." Tilan rolled up Orlesi's beautiful silver hair, then scooped water with a ladle and poured it down, carefully washing the dust and small leaves mixed in it.

The room was very quiet. At this time, they said that in the cave, one side of the wall was the excavated mountain, and the broken stones could be seen.

The brightness of the ancient oil lamp was not high, and it was not clear if it was a little far away. For convenience, Tilan brought the oil lamp to her side so that she could help Orlesi to wash.

Because of the burning, this oil lamp also exuded a strange smell, a little burnt. Sura said that this was exchanged with another settlement not far away. At that time, a bucket of flour was used to exchange for three buckets of black oil, and both parties felt that it was worth it.

After a while, Tilan finally combed and washed Orlesi's long silver hair completely, and the rest was to help Orlesi scrub her body.

Considering that she would not be able to help her bath every day in the future, Tilan decided to teach Orles how to bathe.

"First, wash your hair. This is more troublesome. If we are together, you can ask me to help you."

"Okay." Orles answered with a slightly brisk voice, and she seemed a little happy.

"Then wash your face and neck, basically from top to bottom..." Tilan took the wet skirt cloth, helped Orles wash, and then taught step by step.

Speaking of which, this piece of cloth was torn from Orles' skirt, because that piece was about to be torn off, it would be better to take it off directly, which would look better. The settlement here has scarce cloth. Tilan searched for a lot of it in various relics and sundries, but didn't see any clean ones. Many of them were used by others and were greasy.

Although the locals didn't care, she was still a little awkward after getting used to modern life, so she had to use Orles' skirt cloth as a bath towel.

After washing, Tilan thought for a moment, removed the floating debris from the water in the tub, and then took out the remaining relatively clean water to wash Orles' clothes, and then used magic to dry the clothes.

"Okay, put them on like this." Tilan helped Orles put on her clothes again, and then simply tied her hair with a tie.

"Warm, good." Orles said simple words, looking very happy.

"Yes, let's sit on the bed over there for now." It's called a bed, but it's actually a wooden board nailed together on a stone, but even so, tonight's sleeping conditions are much better than the previous few days.

After pouring out the water, Tilan boiled another pot of water for her own bath.

The groundwater was still quite warm after boiling. After stepping in, she slowly squatted down, and the warmth slowly covered her body, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, and then leaned against the basin.

It has been almost three days since I came to this planet, but it feels like a long time has passed. This should be a lost planet that has never been discovered by the Federation. She couldn't tell the exact location. It might be within the territory, but it is also very likely to be in a remote corner outside the territory.

According to Sura and the others' description, it seems that no one has ever seen a spaceship, and the residents of the planet have lost a lot of technology and cannot travel through time and space.

This closed environment reminded Tilan of the scene she had seen in the archives. It was the end of the Fifth Era, when a long-distance spaceship landed in the Twin Trees Star Region.

In the past, Isanissa also lived on a similar lost planet, but the environment on the planet where Isanissa lived was much better, and there were no fights and wars among various new races.

Thinking about it, Tilan felt a little sleepy. She was also very nervous these two days. She didn't sleep well the first two times she spent the night in the wild. She also remained alert, not only for herself, but also for worrying about what happened to Orlesi and the sudden deterioration of the situation.

Fortunately, after two days of observation, Orles's condition gradually stabilized. Apart from the damage to her memory and supernatural core, there were no major problems and she would be able to recover after recuperation.

Thinking about it, the girl suddenly felt fingers brushing across her head.

"Orles?" At this time, the ice elf girl was bending over the basin.

"I'll help Tilan wash." She said simple words, probably because she saw Tilan soaking in the water and ran over again.

"Do you know how to wash your hair?" Tilan felt that it might take Orles some time to learn.

"I'll try." Orles said, imitating the way Tilan washed her hair just now, pouring water with a ladle, and then sorting out the hair.

Although it was a bit clumsy, it could be seen that she was still doing it very seriously, and Tilan didn't want to interrupt her.

In fact, she didn't need to wash Orles' hair so much, but using magic now was not conducive to healing, so she didn't interrupt or stop her.

After a while, Tilan stood up slightly and covered her body with a bath towel.

"Okay, I can do it myself later, Orlesi, go to bed first."

"Okay." Orlesi nodded, returned to the bed, and sat there waiting for Tilan.

Seeing this, the girl shook her head slightly, and a burst of transparent ice beads fell from her hair and body, fell into the basin, splashed a little water, and then slowly melted.

After becoming clean, Tilan came out, put the dress into the basin, washed it briefly, and then dried it and put it on.

It seems that I need to prepare two sets of clothes in the future, otherwise it will be too troublesome, the girl thought to herself.

Then she returned to the bed and sat down with Orles. It was already late, and after teaching Orles how to speak, Tilan felt a little sleepy, so she closed the door and bolted it, and then lay down with Orles to sleep.

That night, she slept very deeply, and it was a rare night of good rest.

The next day, with a knock on the door, Tilan woke up, walked over to open the door, and found that it was Sura outside.

"Are you up? Lunch is ready. It will get cold if you don't come to eat." She called Tilan over.

"Okay, we'll be there right away."

Then Tilan pulled Orles, who had just woken up, and the two went to the dining area of ​​the settlement.

The cooking place was a shed outside the cave, and the dining place was a room near the entrance of the cave. There was a rough stone table here, and several stones of different shapes were chairs.

There was a large pot of cooked oatmeal on the table, and a few vegetable roots should have been added to it. You can see some green and white cut pieces.

"This is the masterpiece of Marula, the best chef in our settlement. Tilan and Orlesi, come and try it." Sura put two wooden bowls on the table and poured hot oatmeal porridge and vegetable cubes into them.

Although the two of them had eaten something last night, it was just dry food and bread stored in the settlement, and the taste was not very good. Today was their first meal since they came to this world.

The oatmeal cooked by the hot fire was still a little hot. Tilan blew it with a spoon and tried it carefully.

It tasted good, maybe because she was hungry, but the taste was light, probably because there was no salt.

Tilan looked at Orlesi next to her. She also blew air like Tilan, but she didn't eat it yet.

"Eat slowly, it's a little hot." Tilan taught, and then watched Orlesi blow for a while before letting her eat.

While the two were eating lunch, a figure with a cane was supported by Guy and walked in.

"This is Miss Tilan, the person who helped the moose boss treat yesterday." Guy introduced her and then turned around.

"This is Marula, the best cook in our settlement. He can tell whether something is edible or not, and he can keep some things fresh." The other person was a man wearing worn linen clothes, who looked to be in his 30s, with short black hair, pale complexion, and heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"Hello." His voice was a little hoarse, and the whole person seemed to have not fully recovered, and was a little absent-minded.

In response, Guy just patted him on the shoulder and didn't say much.

After a while, Sura also returned and sat down on a stone in the room.

"Everyone is here, one, two, three, four, plus Tilan Ores, a total of six, this is all the people in the settlement now."

After yesterday's incident, except for the still sleeping moose boss, there were only three people left in the settlement, of which Sura and Guy were still intact, while Marula lost a leg in the battle. Guy cleaned his wound and bandaged it last night.

The atmosphere was a bit cold, especially Marula, who became very depressed because he lost a leg, and Sura didn't seem to be able to comfort people, so Guy chatted with him for a while, but he didn't dare to say too much, for fear of irritating him.

While eating, Sura muttered about the results of cleaning the battlefield this morning.

"We found some broken weapons left behind, which should still be useful after melting. Although there was chaos yesterday, fortunately, the wheat-growing land in the corner of the valley was not damaged too much. If we maintain it carefully, we will still have food in the future."

"But many people are gone. Grandma Moroli, who could sew clothes, is gone. No one will make clothes in the settlement anymore, and manpower has become very short. We need someone to take turns to guard and lookout."

"Let me go. Anyway, I can't do anything else right now." Marula regained some spirits and took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you for your help, Marula. I'll make you a bell later. If you need anything, just shake it."

At this point, Sura turned around and said, "I'm sorry, Heshia, I'm afraid I can't take you to Stone Forest Castle these days."

"It's okay, there's no rush." ​​If there is no spaceship that can travel faster than the speed of light on this planet, then finding the city is not that meaningful.

"Can you ask Tilan to stay here for a while? Boss Moose is seriously injured and we also need manpower." Sura asked for help directly.

"Okay." Tilan nodded in agreement, and Sura was relieved to see this.

"If you need anything, you can tell me or Guy directly. If you don't understand something, just ask directly." She thought about it and discussed the division of labor for the next period of time.

"Guy and I will take turns to get up and go to bed. During the day, Marula will be responsible for lookout and cooking, and at night, it's Guy and I. What we need to do now is to clean up the col first. The corpses of those 'red poison species' and the scattered 'black shit fire' have caused a lot of pollution. Then we will count everyone's belongings and tidy up the room."

"Guy and I are more familiar with dealing with corpses and pollution. We can take turns. Heshia and Ores, please help with the sweeping and cleaning."

"I understand."

"Okay, that's it for now."

After lunch, Sura remembered something and hung the clock on his wrist at the exit of the cave.

"Everyone, please follow this time. Remember to come for lunch at 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. every day."

In the afternoon, Tilan and Orles followed Sura to work. Although Sura said that she didn't need to help, she was too small and still had some difficulty. She often carried corpses with Tilan, put them on a wooden wheelbarrow, and then transported them to a pit outside the col, which was left by digging clay in the past and is now abandoned.

"These guys are so smelly that they are used to burn oil after they die." Sura complained to Tilan while pushing the cart, saying bitterly in her heart.

Then she pushed the cart to the edge of the pit and made it slide and roll down.

After going back and forth several times, they finally cleaned up the bodies of the "red poison species" in the col.

After finishing all this, Sura was tired and sat in the shade of the mountain wall to blow the wind, and then Tilan handed her a cup of clean water.

"Huh, thank you." She drank it in big gulps, and then her expression was much better.

"We'll clean up the corpse oil and stains on the ground later, and we can rest today."

"Yeah." Tilan nodded, feeling a little strange in her heart.

After thinking for a while, she looked at the clock not far away. It was only about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which means that she can finish work before 4 o'clock. This made the girl who was used to the work rhythm and schedule of modern people feel a little fresh and different.

Orles was still standing not far away, curiously looking at the strange fruits on the table. One of them had a skin similar to a kiwi, with rough brown hairs, but the inside was probably similar to a winter melon. Another one was a root with soil, orange on the outside, and white inside when cut.

"That is a copper melon, and next to it is an orange stem. They are both very good things. In order to get the seeds, Mu Tiao and I went to a settlement far away to exchange them, but the people were reluctant to give them. Later, we exchanged them for a well-made crossbow."

"It's a pity that Mu Tiao passed away two years ago. He had a fever for several days, and Nan Guo gave him herbs but it didn't work. In the end, he just died." Sura said with some regret.

"This land is like this. Many acquaintances left without knowing it. Now the only old people left in the settlement are me and the moose boss. Guy and Marula only joined in the past two years."

Later in the afternoon, the three of them cleaned the valley roughly. When it was almost night, Sura helped Marula down to cook, and he took a nap.

At night, the five people gathered around the campfire, eating plain and warm oatmeal. Sura kept talking about many things, as if he wanted to tell the later generations all the people and things that happened in this settlement.

"At the beginning, the moose boss lived here alone, and then saved a person, so that person joined here and formed the earliest settlement. I was the fourth one to come. Because the settlement lacked tools at that time, the moose boss went to the 'Stone Forest Castle'. I happened to pass by there and was asked to come and help. I found it was a good place, so I stayed there."

"Although it is a bit simple and poor, it is very peaceful and quiet here. I like sitting on the valley in the evening to enjoy the scenery." Sura said at the end, his voice became calm, and his eyes stared at the campfire.

The firewood crackled and emitted waves of heat. The five people sitting by the fire were like a tiny point of light on the dark ground, extremely small, as if they would be blown away.

Despite this, each of these tiny people also had their own story.
