Chapter 8 Girl Anna
You can go to the blacksmith shop in the town to work, and then you can also gain professional experience as a blacksmith apprentice!
However,
according to the original body's memory, the blacksmith and owner of this blacksmith shop, Boris, is a stingy person.
Unless you are an experienced helper, otherwise, if you want to learn any craft, you have to pay a considerable apprenticeship fee, which seems to be five or ten silver coins?
This money is definitely not available in Ryan's family at this stage.
It seems that we have to think of other ways!
"Hello, Aunt Sima."
"Hello, little Ryan, after being a boy servant for a week, why do I feel that you are energetic and strong!" Aunt Sima greeted Ryan kindly. She is more familiar with Ryan's mother.
Huh, is that so?
At first Ryan thought Aunt Sima was just being polite.
But he raised his arm and looked at his originally stick-like arm. Now there is a slight bulge of muscle, especially the biceps.
Ryan immediately lifted his clothes to look at his abdomen, and could vaguely see the eight-pack abs.
You know, although thin people tend to have abs, this body of his originally had absolutely no abs, not even a shadow.
But now, with a little exercise, I guess I can have obvious abs.
It seems that the effect of this little bit of strength is immediate!
Ryan stopped in front of a two-story building with a triangular roof.
The roof of the house was sloping and covered with thatch. Except for the surrounding walls, which were built of mud, the rest was made of wood.
There were some open spaces in front and behind the house, where some onions and vegetables were planted.
A woman was bending over and pulling something out in the open space. She seemed to notice someone coming and straightened up.
"Ryan, is Ryan back?"
Looking at the kind and dignified face of the woman, the relevant memories came to him like a spring, and all kinds of warm scenes flowed through Ryan's mind like slides. Ryan blurted out: "Mother, it's me! I'm back!"
"Let me see, you've become stronger after not seeing you for a few days, Ryan. It seems that the food provided by the manor to your servants is still good." Mother Emma smiled and hugged Ryan.
In an instant, Ryan felt inexplicably moved.
He didn't know if this kind of feeling was a natural reaction of this body.
Or was it an instinct of being born as a human being.
But he knew that this kind of feeling came from the heart and from the depths of his soul.
The other party was the mother of the original body, and now also his mother!
"Brother! Is brother back?" A pretty little girl with long hair suddenly ran in from the backyard, picking a handful of chopped green onions in her hand.
Ryan instantly overlapped a little girl named Mint with the scene in front of him.
This is Mint, his sister!
"Mint!" Ryan picked up his sister and turned around, making Mint giggle non-stop.
Not long after, Ryan's father also came back. He was a burly man who looked very simple. He had a square face, but there were a lot of wrinkles on his forehead. It seemed that he was worried about a lot of things.
Seeing Ryan, he smiled, patted Ryan's shoulder with his thick palm with calluses, and said, "Ryan, you have grown stronger! It seems that you have grown a little taller!"
"Father! You have worked hard!" Ryan hugged his father hard.
Although old Ryan didn't know why his child suddenly became so sentimental!
But he still smiled and hugged Ryan!
In the evening.
The family of four sat around a wooden table warmly and ate dinner together.
Dinner was a portion of pickled pork, a large plate of mashed potatoes, a few pieces of rye bread and a bottle of milk.
In an ordinary civilian family, this is already a big meal!
Obviously, this is because today is the day Ryan goes home.
Usually, old Ryan is reluctant to eat such good food.
But after Ryan swallowed his portion in a hurry, he found that he was only half full.
Now he is in a period of rapid physical development, and he can eat a lot. There is a proverb in the previous life: a little boy will eat his father out of money.
What's more, Ryan has added some attributes. Since adding that little bit of strength, it seems that the last bit of nutrition stored in the body has been squeezed out. Ryan feels that he can eat a lot these two days.
Moreover, the idea of eating meat has been lingering in his mind!
So, after he finished his portion in front of him, Ryan couldn't help swallowing his saliva and reluctantly turned his eyes away from the food.
The mother took a look and immediately realized something: "Ryan, are you not full? I'll give you these two slices of pickled meat. I'm full."
"Brother, I'm still young, this mashed potato is for you." Little Mint pushed a bowl of mashed potatoes in front of Ryan.
"Ryan, this way." Old Ryan also said.
"This"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ryan was deeply touched!
If Ryan's previous efforts were due to his desire to change the status quo as a traverser, and his longing for this extraordinary world!
But from this moment on, Ryan's motivation will be added with a strong stroke of ink!
In the end, Ryan accepted the bacon and mashed potatoes from his mother and Little Mint, but refused his father's bread.
Because he knew that his father was a physical worker and needed more nutrition than him.
Ryan slept very deeply that night!
The next morning, Old Ryan declined Ryan's request to help in the farmland and went out early, and his mother also went to help in the town hotel.
Only Ryan and his sister Mint were left at home.
When Ryan followed his sister's voice to the small yard, he found that his sister Mint was planting carrots in her small yard with a girl.
"Brother, are you up? I'm planting carrots with Sister Anna." Little Mint smiled and greeted.
Anna?
Yes, that's my neighbor.
A taciturn little girl, it is said that she came to live in Shining Gold Town with her mother.
But a year ago, her mother mysteriously disappeared.
Now, she lives alone in the wooden house next to Ryan's house.
The girl turned her head, her face was beautiful, but her face looked pale.
It seemed that she had been in a state of malnutrition for many years. Her light yellow hair was a little dry and split, but her deep brown pupils revealed a kind of resolute beauty.
"Hello, Ryan." The girl bowed her head and greeted shyly.
In terms of age, Ryan seemed to be a few months older than the girl.
In my impression, the girl has always been afraid of strangers.
"Anna, hello!"
Just when Ryan wanted to help them, the voice of his best friend George came from the door: "Ryan, let's go pick nuts."
"Brother, I want to go too!" Mint couldn't help but say excitedly when he heard that Ryan was going to pick nuts.
Anna, who was standing next to him, seemed to have desire in her eyes.
But after thinking about it, Ryan still refused. After all, this time he was going to the woodland of the Habsburg Manor, and he was going with George.
It would be inappropriate to bring people there again.
So, Ryan shook his head and said, "Mint, stay at home with sister Anna. I will bring you nuts."
"Okay~" Mint said pitifully. Although he was reluctant, he was still very obedient.
Sure enough, children from poor families grow up early. At
such a young age, he is very sensible!
Ryan touched little Mint's head and left with George.
After walking for a while, George suddenly said with a strange look on his face:
"Ryan, why is your sister with Anna? Haven't you heard about it? She is an ominous person."
"An ominous person?" Ryan asked with a puzzled look.
"I also heard from my father by chance that Anna's mother didn't seem to be missing, but seemed to be kidnapped. But I don't know the details." George looked around and found that there was no one, so he said mysteriously.
"Don't tell it to anyone."
"Who kidnapped her?" Ryan asked puzzledly.
"I really don't know!" George was also vague.
"By the way, Ryan, have you heard? Recently, two children from civilian families in the north of our town have gone missing! Remember to remind Mint not to run around."
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Didn't they say before that children disappeared in other towns, and our Shining Gold Town is still safe? Now is it spreading?" Ryan was very surprised.
"I'm not sure about this." George thought about it. This was another question that touched on his blind spot.
