Chapter 254 016: Visit

  Who?

  Heath was puzzled, he just came here today, there should be no people who know him right.

   With doubts, he blew out the meditation candle, got up and left the meditation room.

  He arranged an enchantment in the meditation room, and the elements produced when the meditation candle burns can be sealed in the room, and there is basically no element loss.

When    came to the outside room, Heath opened the door.

  However, there were three figures standing outside the fence courtyard, a man and a woman with a girl about seven or eight years old, all dressed in plain clothes, and they were obviously civilians nearby.

  Heath walked over and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

  The man opened his mouth and said: "Hello. Uh. I don’t know what to call you yet."

  Heath said: "Heath Noon."

The man put on a polite smile, introduced himself briefly, and explained his intentions: "Hello Mr. Norn, we are your neighbor, my name is An Lun, this is my wife Nora, and this is my daughter. Lily."

  "You should not have prepared anything when you just moved here. These are some vegetables we planted and bread made by ourselves, for you."

  An Lun handed a bamboo basket with some fresh vegetables and bread in it.

  Heath was a little surprised. It's really rare to see such hospitable couples.

  He took the basket and said, "Oh, thank you."

   Seeing Heath accepted the gift, An Lun’s smile on his face increased a bit, and he continued enthusiastically: “Everyone will be neighbors in the future. If you need help, you can find us at any time. You don’t need to see outside.”

  Heath nodded: "Okay."

  While speaking, he opened the fence of the fence and walked away, inviting: "Go in for a cup of tea."

  An Lun shook his head and was ready to refuse.

  However, Heath took the first step and said, “If you accept someone’s gift, if you don’t even offer a cup of tea, it will make my conscience uneasy.”

  After listening, An Lun could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

"this"

  He exchanged glances with his wife Nona, then nodded and said, "Then bother."

  The three walked into the courtyard.

  After entering, the eyes of the three people became surprised, and they kept looking around and looking at the small courtyard, looking very incomprehensible.

  After all, this abandoned lighthouse had been idle for several years before this. The deserted courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and it even gave rise to many ghost stories. It is a famous haunted place nearby.

  Previously, An Lun wanted to reject Heath's invitation mainly because he was worried that the other party's home had not been cleaned up, and entering at this time would make the other party feel embarrassed.

  However, the small courtyard now is clean and tidy, and it looks like a bird's voice.

  After entering the small wooden house in front, their eyes looked even more as if they had seen a ghost, and there were traces of shabby inside, as if they had just been repaired.

  Heath saw that the three of them had different expressions, and couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”

  An Lun said: "This place seems to be different from the hut we usually see."

  Heath briefly explained: "Really? I cleaned up this afternoon."

Is that right?

  Although they were a little confused, An Lun and the others didn't take it too seriously, as long as they didn't pay much attention on weekdays, the hut was not as shabby as they thought.

  Sitting down at the wooden table, Heath took out the cup from the cabinet and poured a cup of tea for the three of them.

Tea water is the soul washing water that Heath often drinks. It contains some flower spirit honey. It tastes a bit like ordinary honey water. It can cleanse the soul and restore part of the spiritual power. It also has a strong body for ordinary people. The body has the effect of prolonging longevity.

  Such a cup of soul washing water is absolutely invaluable in the secular world. The nobles and lords are willing to pay gold coins, manors and even castles for this.

  However, it is the teacup containing water that now attracts more attention from the Anlun trio.

  The little girl looked at the beautiful oil paint pattern on the cup and was very surprised: "Yeah! Look, dad, is this a ceramic cup? It must be a ceramic cup, right?"

  She asked Heath, "Uncle, are you a nobleman? You must be a nobleman?"

  The expressions of the Anlun couple became restrained and tense.

  Basically, ordinary people in this world do not have decent tableware in their homes. Pots and pans are basically made of oak. Only the nobles can afford such exquisite porcelain.

  Originally only regarded Heath as ordinary neighbors, so they came to visit enthusiastically. Now it seems that the gifts they sent are really embarrassing.

  Both of them blushed uncontrollably.

  Heath touched the little girl’s pink cheek and explained: "No, my uncle is just a scholar."

  The Anlun couple was taken aback.

  An Lun asked: "Student scholar? Mr. Norn, do you say that you are a scholar? Are you a bachelor from Xuecheng?"

  Heath shook his head: "No, just an ordinary scholar."

  After listening, the Anluns breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although scholars are still a noble existence compared to ordinary people, the gap is much smaller than that of aristocrats. In particular, most scholars without a bachelor’s title can be understood as'learned ordinary people'.

  The little girl Lily's eyes lit up and she suddenly asked: "Scholar? Uncle Heath, then you must be literate, right?"

  Nona stroked her daughter’s hair, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Noen is a scholar, of course he is literate."

   Lily happily said: "Ah, that's great, Uncle Heath, then can you teach me to read?"

  The expressions of the Anlun couple were a little embarrassed for a while.

  Reading and literacy is very expensive. How can the couple afford that cost?

  An Lun hurriedly said: "Mr. Noon, don't mind, Lily is not sensible."

  Heath smiled: "It's okay."

  He raised his hand and touched Lily's face, and asked, "Why do you want to be literate?"

   Lily replied honestly: “I heard people say that as long as you are literate, you can make a lot of money, so that my father doesn’t have to work hard at the dock and can buy beautiful skirts for my mother.”

  Heath laughed and said: "Oh, it seems that Little Lily is really a sensible girl."

   Lily said with bright eyes: "Is that all right? Can you teach me to read? Uncle Heath?"

  Heath nodded: "Of course."

  After seeing the Anlun couple exchanged looks, they could only bite the bullet and asked: "Mr. Noon, this fee."

  Heath raised his finger to the basket of vegetables: "It has been paid."

  An Lun was shocked: "How about that."

  Heath shook his head: “It’s okay. I don’t have much to do here. I’m idle and I’m idle, so I can just find something to do for myself.”

  The purpose of living here is to experience life in order to realize some laws from life.

   After a pause, Heath continued: "We are all neighbors, and it is okay to help each other. You two don't have to worry about it."
