Wizard's journey

Chapter 8: Anna, a Maiden

You can work in the town's blacksmith shop and gain professional experience as a blacksmith apprentice!

But.......

According to the memories of the original body, the blacksmith and owner of this blacksmith shop, Boris, was stingy, unless you were an experienced helper who could produce it, or if you wanted to learn any trade, you would have to pay a large apprenticeship fee, which seemed to be five or ten silver coins.

This money, at this stage, Rennes's family will definitely not be able to come up.

Looks like we're going to have to think of something else!

"Hello, Aunt Sima."

"Little Wren, hello, after being a child servant for a week, how do I feel energetic and strong!" Aunt Seema greeted Wren kindly, and she was more familiar with Wren's mother.

Huh, really?

At first, Wren thought that Aunt Sima was just saying polite words.

But he raised his arm and looked at his arm, which was originally like a hemp rod, and now he actually had a slightly bulging muscle, especially the biceps.

Wren immediately lifted his clothes again and looked at his abdomen, and he could vaguely see the appearance of eight-pack abs.

You know, although it is said that thin people are prone to abdominal muscles, it turns out that this body has absolutely no abdominal muscles, and there is no shadow.

But now, with a little exercise, it is estimated that you will be able to have obvious abdominal muscles.

From this point of view, the effect of this power plus is immediate!

Wren stopped in front of a two-story house with a triangular roof.

The roof of the house is sloping and thatched, and the rest of the house is made of wood, except for the surrounding walls, which are made of mud.

There are some open spaces in front and behind the house where some green onions and vegetables are grown.

A woman was hunched over something in the clearing, as if sensing someone coming, and straightened up.

"Wren, is Wren back?"

Looking at the woman's kind and dignified face, the relevant memories were like springs, and all kinds of warm scenes, like a slideshow flowed in Wren's mind, Wren blurted out: "Mother, it's me!" I am back! ”

"Let me see, I haven't seen you for a few days, Rennes, you've gotten stronger. It seems that the manor is still good for your child servants. The mother smiled and hugged Wren and said.

For a moment, Wren had an inexplicable touch.

He didn't know if this emotion was a natural reaction of the body.

Or is it an instinct to be human.

But he knows that this kind of emotion comes from the heart and comes from the depths of his heart.

The other party is the mother of the original body, and now he is also his mother!

"Brother! Is my brother back? "A delicate little girl with long hair suddenly ran in from the backyard with a handful of green onions in her hand.

Wren instantly overlapped a little girl named Mint with the scene in front of him.

It's Mint, his sister!

"Mint!" Wren picked up his sister and spun around, making Mint giggle.

Not long after, Wren's father also returned, a burly man who looked very simple, with a Chinese face, but there were a lot of wrinkles on his forehead, and he seemed to be worried about more things.

Seeing Wren, he showed a smile, patted Wren's shoulder with a thick palm with calluses, and said, "Wren, you've grown strong!" Looks like I've grown a little taller! ”

"Father! You've done a great job! Wren hugged his father hard.

Although the elder Wren didn't know why his child was suddenly so ........ Sensational! But I still happily hugged Wren!

At night.

A family of four sat warmly around a wooden table and ate dinner together.

Dinner consisted of a serving of marinated 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 Wren is home.

Usually, old Wren is reluctant to eat such a good meal.

But after Wren devoured his share, he found that he was only half full.

Now he is in a period of rapid physical development, and he can already eat, there is a proverb in his previous life: half a child, eat a poor man.

What's more, Wren also added some attributes, since adding that little bit of strength, it seems to have squeezed out the last bit of nutrient reserves stored in the body, and Wren felt that he was particularly able to eat in the past two days.

Moreover, the thought of eating meat has always been lingering in my mind!

So, after he finished his own portion, Wren couldn't help but swallow his saliva and reluctantly looked away from the food.

The mother glanced at it and immediately noticed something: "Wren, are you not full, I will give you these two pieces of cured meat, I am full." ”

"Brother, I'm still young, this mashed potato is for you to eat." Peppermint shoved a pot of mashed potatoes in front of Wren's eyes.

"Wren, I'm ........ here," said Wren Sr. as well.

"This ......."

Looking at this scene in front of him, Wren's eyes moistened a little.

If it is said that Ren's efforts before were because of his desire to change the status quo as a time-traveler, as well as his longing for this transcendent world!

But from this moment on, Rennes's motivation will be added to a strong stroke!

Eventually, Wren accepted his mother and mint's cured meat and mashed potatoes, but refused his father's bread.

Because he knew that his father was physically active, and he needed more nutrition than him.

This night, Wren slept deeply!

Early the next morning, the elder Wren declined Wren's request to help in the farmland, and went out early, while his mother also went to help in the town inn.

Only Wren himself and his sister Mint are left in the house.

When Wren followed his sister's voice to the small yard, he found his sister Mint planting carrots in her small yard with a young girl.

"Brother, are you up? I'm growing carrots with Sister Anna. Mint greeted with a smile.

Anna?

Yes, that's my neighbor.

A taciturn little girl who is said to have come to live in Shining Gold with her mother, but a year ago, her mother mysteriously disappeared.

Now, she lives alone in the cabin next door to Wren's house.

The girl turned her head, the contour of her face was beautiful, but there was a vegetable-colored face, which seemed to be in a state of malnutrition all year round, and her pale yellow hair was a little dry and split ends, but the deep brown pupils revealed a resolute beauty.

"Thunder...... Rennes...... Hello. The girl bowed her head and greeted him stiffly.

In terms of age, Wren seems to be a few months older than the girl.

In my impression, the girl has always been afraid of the living.

"Hello, Anna!"

Just as Wren wanted to help them, the voice of his best friend George came from the door: "Wren, let's go, let's go pick up nuts." ”

"Brother, I'm going too!" Mint couldn't help but say excitedly when she heard that Wren was going to pick up nuts.

Anna on the side seemed to have longing in her eyes.

But after thinking about it, Wren still refused, after all, this time he was going to the woodland of the Habsburg estate, and he also followed George.

If you bring someone over by yourself, it will be very inappropriate.

So, Wren shook his head and said, "Mint, stay at home with Sister Anna, brother will bring you nuts back." ”

"Okay~" Mint said pitifully, although reluctantly, but still very obedient.

Sure enough, the children of poor families were in charge of the family early.

At such a young age, he is very sensible!

Wren touched Mint's head and left with George.

After walking for a while, George suddenly said with a strange expression:

"Wren, haven't you heard of how your sister is with Anna? She's an ominous person. ”

"Ominous?" Wren asked, puzzled.

"It was also by chance that my father said that Anna's mother did not seem to be missing, as if she had been captured. But I don't know the specifics. George glanced left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he said mysteriously.

"Don't reveal it."

"Who took it?" Wren asked, confused.

"I really don't know!" George was also vague.

"By the way, Wren, did you hear that? Recently, two children from a civilian family in the north of our town went missing! You remember to remind Mint that she is okay and don't go out and run around. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Didn't we say that the disappearance of children happened in other towns, but we are still safe in Shining Gold Town? Now this is proliferation? Wren was surprised.

"I don't know......." George thought for a moment, again a question that touched his blind spot.
