Chapter 21: Help Lillian lighten her load

After three days, Lillians steak was barely good enough to eat, at the cost of wasting more than a dozen pieces of beef, mushrooms, salt, and half a bottle of pepper that was more expensive than gold. For children who grew up in low-income families, wasting food is shameful and unforgivable, making Lillian feel very uneasy.

However, this loss is not a problem for Robb, who has nearly a hundred gold coins in his arms. Hell be thankful as long as she stops poisoning her Master.

Now a new problem is beginning to haunt Robb, and that is-- getting tired of confessions!

The confession was a little fun at first, but after three days in a row, Robb has basically heard the same thing. The blacksmith in the east of the town stole the chicken of the farmer in the west, and the farmer in the west of the town slept with the wife of the herbalist in the south of the town. The herbalist's wife in the south of the town stole things from the miners in the north of the town, and then the miners in the north of the town slept with the blacksmith's wife in the east of the town.

"Ah! No one has come to confess. I can return to a state of laziness again." Robb turned over on the stone stool in the yard and lay on his side while looking at Lillian near him.

Lillian was not idle. She was developing the barren field in the yard with a hoe. Dressed in a maid costume, it was very inconvenient to dig the dirt up, but she insisted on wearing the clothes given to her by her Master instead of her tube clothes. The small hoe dug up the soil and the field up one after another.

Robb asked loudly, "Lillian, what are you going to plant?"

Lillian wiped a handful of sweat from her forehead and smiled, "Potatoes! We have a field, so of course, we have to use it to grow potatoes."

Robb said, "Oh, you can plant it, but it's unnecessary! Just abandon this piece of broken land. Why not just buy potatoes? "

Robb decided that first of all. He had to help Lillian solve the problem of drawing water since Robb is from the modern times and is much cleaner than people from the medieval age. What Lillian does most of the day now is to fetch water, get up in the morning to boil water and wash Robb's face and mouth, then boil water to make tea for Robb several times a day, and bring a large bucket of water to Robb in the evening. In addition, Robb had to wash his hands before and after meals, and he was very particular about the hygiene of cutlery and cups. Lillian was asked to wash her clothes with water before using them, and her clothes were changed frequently, which consumed several times more water than ordinary people.

After the broken land was reinvigorated, she began to grow potatoes. Now, she often had to draw water to irrigate the fields.

It is no exaggeration to say that drawing water is Lillian's heaviest task at this stage. If the problem of drawing water is solved, Lillian can relax by more than half of her current relaxation time.

Robb made a ridiculous decision with a pat on his forehead: "Let's just make a tap water system. With tap water, Lillian won't be so tired."

He raised his voice and shouted, "Lillian, stop what you're doing after you boil the water and go to town. Find me a Mason and a blacksmith."

As soon as he finished saying that, Lillian heard a woman outside the chapel courtyard cry, " My father, please save my husband. He just fell off a cliff and broke a leg."

"Oh?" Robb turned to the courtyard door and saw a fat middle-aged woman in a burlap standing with a middle-aged man on her back. The man's face was gray, with many holes in his burlap. One of his legs was strangely bent and was dripping with blood.

Well, with a glance, I can already see whats happening.

There used to be no priest in this town, so when the villagers were injured, they could only use a bag of medicine to treat the injury. Not only did this treat the injuries slowly, but the patient would also have to bear the pain for a long time and eventually might be disabled for life.

But now that there is a priest in the town, things are different. A priest can cure the wound with holy magic quickly and safely and will not have to let the patient suffer for a long time or leave side effects, so of course, its better if he should come to see the priest.
