"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!
