In the end, Anne still couldn't buy the seeds necessary for farming in her own ranch...
Because, she has no money now!
When there was only a tragic number ‘0G’ left on the ranch’s account, no one would be willing to give her a strange little man who just came to Mining Town for the second day and looked a little unreliable! So, when gold cannot be spent as money and is not worth much money, she didn’t want to be driven away by some bad old man, Mayor Thomas, for various reasons for not being qualified, so she could only decide: find a way to make money by herself?
So Annie finally had to set off, and after eating and drinking at the young lady Lin's shop, she went to the back mountain!
What she remembered was that Uncle Zach also told her that there were a lot of valuable things in the back mountain, that is, those "mountain goods" and other things can be collected and sold for money when there is insufficient funds?
so……
In order to save her ranch account that was almost on the verge of bankruptcy, she had to do something.
“??”
(°〼°〃)
"This road is right, it should be not far ahead, right?"
?～o(▽｀ｏo)=3=3=3
The back mountain of Ore Town is also called Mount Virgin. It is said that from the pasture that Anne just obtained, cross the small river that draws water, and then pass through a small woodland with a wooden house and a loggerhead living!
There are two mountain roads on the southwest of the grove, one leading to the hot springs and waterfalls. There, residents of the ore town can go to the magical hot springs that are said to be able to recover their physical strength and eliminate fatigue for free when they are tired. They can also go to the mines beside the springs to mine, and even throw tributes into the small lake of the waterfalls by the springs, and then they can see the legendary goddess?
However, over the years, as the lives of the residents of the ore town have improved day by day, people have rarely gone to mine in the mine. Similarly, life is harmonious and beautiful, and the residents of the ore town, which have basically no need, rarely take the initiative to visit the goddess, because they all know that even if they visit or offer tribute, it is not of much use. The goddess generally will not easily satisfy any of their wishes.
Therefore, Anne, who didn't want to go to mining, nor did she want to go to chat with the goddess of Raush, so she walked towards the back mountain of Mount Virgin... It is said that there are many mountain goods in all seasons by the lake there, and a guy like her who squandered money on the first day of receiving the ranch. There, the kind of thing that can be found as long as she is willing to spend some time is the best place for her to show her strengths.
“…”
(ー`′ー)
"Hey! Tibers, tell me, these unique things should be the mountain products they are talking about, right?"
(*grass
The back mountain of Ore Town is not far from the back mountain. I soon arrived at the little Annie, who was by the back mountain lake in the ore Town, did not care about the very big one. It is said that there were kappa living in the lake and there was a mine cave in the center of the lake. However, the lake that can only be accessed in winter, just ran to the lake alone and began to search around. Soon, her hard work paid off, allowing her to find several blue three-leaf clovers.
Then, she ran to the front and pulled up one and watched it carefully for a while. She pulled up the three-leaf "green grass" that was clearly blue, but she didn't know why she described it as a "green grass" by Sister Lin, and carefully observed it. She asked a question about a dog-legged tybos who had been magically turned into a "real dog-legged slut".
‘Wang~!’
????????
(Tibers ignored it. It just barked at the terrible little master of its house, saying that it did not know it, because it was just a miserable dog now, and the dogs certainly would not, and they should not speak, even in private!)
“…”
(￢д￢.)
"Forget it! I won't ask you, this stupid guy! Anyway, these grasses look quite special, and there are not a few plants here, which is different from the densely grown weeds around them. It must be it!"
o(′▽｀)o=3=3=3
As she said that, after temporarily receiving the blue "green grass" in a certain area of ​​her space bag, Annie began to run forward and pulled out all the "green grass" she saw, throwing all the remaining ones into her bag.
"Hehehe..."
(??ω??)
Annie doesn't care whether it is green grass or blue grass. Anyway, she only knows that she had just pulled out six of them and threw them into the shipping box when she went back. The big Zach would definitely pay her six times one hundred, which is a small amount of six hundred G, which would be enough for her to have a meal worth five hundred G in Uncle Dart and the young lady Lin's shop.
"Wow!!"
!(;?o?)o
"Tibers, look, there seems to be a lot of them here, let's put them all away!!"
ε=εε=ε=ε=￣???(((????)o
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
“Eh?”
∑(′△)?!
"That's a flower? It should be that kind of moon tears? No matter what, you may be able to sell it for money and everything will be collected!"
??(′??)???
"Branches?"
⊙(?◇?)?
"No matter! Pick it away!"
?(ˊ�ˋ*)?
"Three-colored flowers? Pull them out!!"
??(??￣?￣)?????
“That’s…”
|??ω?`)?
"Wow! Tibers, look at it, it's bamboo shoots, there are so many!!"
?(*?????)????
Soon, Annie, who was searching by the lake, finally found a bamboo forest that Uncle Zach and his young lady Lin mentioned, and successfully found 50G bamboo shoots worth of bamboo that were said to only emerge in spring. So she didn't want to stretch out her hand and uprooted them by a mage's hand and received them in her bag.
"There are still there!!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))?3???3????
More than ten minutes later, the bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest and all the bamboo forests in the back mountain were affected... because, compared with other green grasses that are more difficult to find in the weeds, the bamboo forests are a little more obvious!
but……
When all the bamboo shoots in the back mountain of the entire Mining Town, those mountain goods that others could dig in a day, were affected and were directly uprooted by an unreasonable little girl, the remaining green grass and the messy flowers were also affected, and all of them were automatically searched and marked by a bad little girl!
So, the arduous workload that residents of other ore towns might not have been completed in several days was completed by Annie in less than an hour! She was alone, sweeping all the mountain goods from the back mountain of the ore town, and even pulling out all the wild flowers, leaving no one left behind.
"Done!"
?(???c)
"Tibers, look, it seems easy to make money and other things. They have gotten all the mountain goods without much effort!"
☆⌒(*＾-゜)vTHX!!
Although I don’t know how many mountain goods I got in the back mountain of Ore Town in this hour, Annie only knew that there were a lot of bamboo shoots, green grass, moon tears and three-color flowers in her bag. I guess she could make a big profit with them, right?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Butterfly? Don't run!!"
o(*'　〼')o
Suddenly, a butterfly floated by in front of Annie, and then she reached out and grabbed the other person with quick eyes.
"Um……"
(??ˇ?ˇ?ˇ??)
"Tibers, you said, can butterflies be considered mountain goods and can be sold for money? Forget it, I won't ask you, you don't know anyway!"
(ˉ▽￣￞］)Tsk~~
After saying that, Annie stuffed the butterfly into her bag, intending to throw it directly into the shipping box in the ranch, and throw it into the shipping box that Uncle Zach said, which was blessed by a "goddess" with his divine power, and could hold countless goods, but would not be filled no matter how much it was.
(…)
(^?^;)ゞ
(However, Tibers knew that things like butterflies could not be sold for money... However, when he saw that his terrible little master had already received it in his bag, he saw that the other party began to search for the next "prey" with great interest, he said nothing.)
"What are you stepping on...wow! Is it a snake?!"
!?(?''??)?
"Catch it away!"
(?￣??￣??)??°
A little green snake was originally lying leisurely on the lawn basking in the spring sun. However, when it was accidentally stepped on by a bad little girl, she was startled and was about to use its poisonous fangs to teach the other person to be a good person... but the little girl was quickly avoided by her eyes and feet, and then grabbed its tail. After shaking it skillfully for a few times, she no longer had the strength to move, and was thrown into a bag with infinite space.
"monkey……"
=????('ヮ'=????)
"No matter! All those living in the mountains are mountain goods, take them away!!"
?(ψｽ′)?--*? All petrified!
Since even the innocent snake and butterfly were affected, a wild monkey who was eating tender leaves on the tree and still dared to grin at her would definitely not be able to escape the clutches of Little Annie! So soon it was hit by a petrified spell and fell straight to the ground, and Annie treated it as an authentic "mountain product" and received it in her evil space bag.
“Um…”
(°〼°〃)
"I don't know if Kappa is worth it..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
Yes, Anne is now starting to hit a certain Kappa again... However, Anne heard from Sister Lin that Kappa's terrible things seem to only come out when he throws cucumbers into the lake? And if he throws something else, he will definitely not come out?
But now, Annie's backpack does not have that kind of cucumber, and even if there is one, she will definitely not throw it into the lake!
"Forget it!"
(*?︶?*).:*?
"Things like Kappa, those who live in the water are definitely not mountain products. They probably can't sell them for money, so let him go for the time being!"
(*?′?`?)
After hesitating for a while, he felt that Kappa should be like a certain "goddess", Anne, who is a kind of extraordinary existence in this world. In the end, she gave up the idea of ​​attacking the lake and forcing a Kappa to appear and capture the other party and take it for shipment.
Although she can easily catch a guy with very weak strength, no one will or dare to spend money to buy a guy like that, so let's forget it for the time being!
"I found so many mountain products today, should it be OK?"
(??ヮ??)
At this time, Annie, who had been in trouble for a long time in the back mountain of Ore Town, finally prepared to return home because there seemed to be nothing to dig or catch here, and she hadn't seen it yet.
"Let's go! Tibers, we can go back now!!"
?(?)?
Nowadays, all the mountain goods near Houshan Lake have been swept away by Anne, and even a branch that fell to the ground has not been spared!
So, Anne, who felt that she had gained a lot today and could make herself more fulfilled through labor, turned around and left after calling a dog leg.
“!!”
ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?
"Wait! There... it seems to be a wild dog? The wild dog should be considered a mountain product and can be sold for money, right?"
ヾ(′???)ノ
However……
Anne, who had just left the lake, suddenly saw a puppy appearing in the distance. It seems that it is still the kind of ownerless dog without a collar?
"Stop! Still dare to run? Tibers came on me, grabbed it, and took it back for shipment!!"
ε?(????)??3??
Now that I was full of all my minds, I was looking for mountain goods and shipping to make money, how could Annie, who would allow a living mountain goods to escape from her eyes? So, after seeing the other party being scared by her eyes, she ran to the dense forest of the back mountain with her tail in her eyes, she angrily scolded and ordered at a dog-leg who was following her listlessly.
(???)
∑(′?)?!
(However, Tibers did not take action... because it knew that a wild dog was definitely not a mountain product, and it would definitely not be able to sell it if it was caught, and it was unwilling to do that kind of stupid thing, so it still stood aside indifferently, shaking the little tail that made it puzzled.)
“!!”
(?╭╮?)
"What are you looking at? Why don't you chase them quickly? If you can't catch it, don't come back tonight!"
?(ψ｀ 苲)┌┛★)`?゜)
Seeing that a "stupid dog" dared to ignore his orders, Annie certainly would not be polite to the other party. She kicked him hard and kicked him into the grass where the wild dog ran away and disappeared...
‘Aowoo~!!’
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
A whimper sounded, and a bad dog leg quickly disappeared into the same grass...
‘!!’
‘What's the sound over there, who's there?’
At this time, someone seemed to pass by in the distance. After hearing the movement here, he accelerated and asked in surprise. Soon, he saw a little girl standing in such a pretty wild countryside.
"Well? Who are you?"
"Ah! I remembered it, a red skirt, a blond eight or nine-year-old girl... You should be the little girl Anne who has moved to the ranch, right?"
An uncle carrying an axe, dirty and bearded, walked up to Annie, and then looked at Annie curiously for a while before exclaiming in surprise.
"Yes! They're that little girl!"
(*^▽^*)
"But, uncle, who are you? It seems that I have never seen you in the town..."
?(⊙o⊙*)?
Annie has indeed never seen the other party, although she may not have seen all the people in the entire Mining Town.
"You just came here, of course you haven't seen it."
"That's right. My name is Gotz. I'm a carpenter. I'm now living in the woods south of the town of Ore."
Uncle Bearded began to introduce himself.
"But, little guy, what are you doing here? I seemed to hear some strange sound just now..."
After saying that, the carpenter Gotz looked back and forth, because he seemed to have heard the whimper of some kind of animal just now, he ran over with the sound.
"I just collected mountain goods here to make money, but I didn't hear any strange sounds! Maybe it was because his puppy, Tibers, accidentally scratched some thorns, right?"
(^_?)☆
"So that's the case. Are you here to dig mountain goods?"
"What a coincidence!"
"I actually plan to dig some bamboo shoots and go back to eat fried pork. At this time, the bamboo shoots are the tenderest in the year. They won't be able to eat them in summer, so I also want to dig a few to prepare."
A bamboo shoot is very big, and for Gotz, who has now become single, it is almost enough for him to eat for several days! So, if you dig a few today and bring them back, in addition to enough for him to eat in spring, he can also make sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, and save them to enjoy in summer and autumn and winter.
Anyway, he lives like this every year.
Since his wife and daughter died of mountain difficulties, they spontaneously asked Harris to patrol the mountains in order to prevent the same misfortune from happening again, in addition to doing carpenter work, patrolling and expelling wild animals in the mountains, he will also make some mountain goods to improve his life, such as mountain bamboo shoots in spring, wild grapes in summer, mushrooms and matsutake in autumn, etc.
"ah……"
(“▔□▔)
“??”
"Little guy, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the other party's face suddenly became a little strange, the carpenter uncle Gots asked strangely. After all, he was a patrol and forest ranger in the back mountain. If the other party had anything to do here, he would definitely be happy to provide help within his ability.
"No! It's nothing!!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Annie would not tell the other party: She had just dug up all the nearby mountain goods, and the other party was in the back mountain, so she would definitely not even be able to dig up bamboo shoots.
"alright!"
"Little guy, since you're fine, I'm going to go to work hard. Don't run to the forest alone in the future, and don't leave the road too far. It's not safe... Also, all the houses in the ranch have just been renovated, and your living place is indeed a little small. If you want to renovate the house in the future, go and tell me that as long as you can afford the money, I'm happy to renovate your house in a beautiful way!"
"Just like this, goodbye, Anne!"
Although I really wanted to talk to the other party about the specific matters of renovating the house, thinking about the other party's current situation, Gotz, who knew that the other party must have no money, smiled, gave up the idea of ​​letting him make a fortune, and waved to the other party to prepare to leave.
"Uh-huh!"
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)
"Goodbye, Uncle Gotz..."
ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
After saying that, Annie quickly turned around and ran back.
-=????=?????(?)?
She wouldn't tell the other party that she had dug up all the spring bamboo shoots in the back mountain today. It would be useless to carry the big axe and she would definitely not be able to dig anything!
Maybe the other party can only wait for tomorrow?
However, if these mountain goods are indeed valuable, then the other party will not be able to dig them tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and she will definitely come here every day!
