Little Lord

Old Lu was still busy drawing blueprints. This time he was drawing blueprints of various tree houses. The tree wheat in Woye Province not only produced grain every year, but also grew tall and big.

In the past, some people took a fancy to it and wanted to use it to build ships, but somehow people who came to cut down the wood always encountered one accident or another.

There were rumors that harming the "Scraping Valley" trees that were hundreds or thousands of years old would anger the Mother Goddess, and gradually no one dared to harm them.

Therefore, the number of ancient trees is actually the largest in the remote and impoverished fertile provinces, and the largest number of these ancient trees is the "Scraping Mouth Valley" that is loved and hated by everyone.

For those ethnic groups who are unable to go out and have to live in the Fertile Province for a long time, they often wonder whether this is the Mother Goddess's mercy or punishment.

Now, Lao Lu is preparing to transform the ancient trees that were set aside for him to give full play to his creativity into a tree house, striving to give people a sense of satisfaction as if they were sleeping peacefully in the arms of the Mother Goddess.

Of course, this will happen after spring. It is still winter now, and the winter in Woye Province will not be over for a while, so the drawings drawn by Lao Lu before were all ice houses.

In order to understand the properties of ice, he slept on the ice field every day for several days, feeling the changes in the ice and the changes in temperature between day and night.

Jiang Zhuozhuo was always worried that something might happen to him, and would go over from time to time to check if he was still breathing.

You are so pretentious even at your age!

All I can say is that most of the people who make it to the top in any industry have a bit of artist-like madness.

Jiang Zhuozhuo originally flew in to tell Lao Lu that his daughter was here, but when he saw what Lao Lu was drawing, he couldn't move.

The forest is also a very mysterious place for children.

The heroines in fairy tales are often thrown into dangerous forests by bad guys, and gain the love and help of the forest natives through their bravery, kindness or diligence.

It's not just fairy tales. When Jiang Zhuozhuo was a child, he particularly yearned for the forests described in Chinese textbooks.

For example, it wrote that in Lesser Khingan Mountains there are "sweet and sour mountain grapes, crispy and fragrant hazelnuts, fresh mushrooms and fungus", and "squirrels live on pine nuts stored in tree holes in autumn". After reading this, she wanted to go into the forest and dig tree holes everywhere!
That's right, she has been so wicked since she was a child =v=
There was also a sentence from another text that she never forgot: Hit the roe deer with a stick and scoop the fish with a ladle; the pheasant flew into the rice pot.

Who can refuse this!
It is said that with the coming of spring, there will be very lush grass ponds on the plains here, and she has already begun to actively collect various sticks for hunting roe deer!
When Lola and her father met, before they had said a few words, they saw the little round bird jumping around on the drawings that Old Lu had scattered all over the room, looking at this one carefully, then looking at that one carefully.

The expression on the bird's face was very serious.

Laura asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

The little round bird replied loudly: "I'm choosing which one I want to live in!"

This is something that needs to be considered carefully.

Laura: “…”
Old Lu: “…”

Old Lu was pragmatic: "Whether it can be built or not depends on whether we can climb the tree and inspect it after the snow melts."

The little round bird said immediately, "We will go and investigate together. I heard that many small animals will hide nuts in tree holes, but they will forget that they have hidden them. By the time the winter is over, they will go bad if they are not eaten." She looked righteous, "It's shameful to waste them. I will go and help them dig them out and eat them!"

Old Lu:.

Is this why your eyes are filled with longing every time you see a tree hole?
Woodpeckers, whose ancestors loved living in tree holes, were offended.

……

To welcome Lola's arrival, Jiang Zhuozhuo announced that they would have pork bone noodles today.

In short, the big bones are used to make a fragrant soup, and then the soup, bones and noodles are served together.

This is because Jiang Zhuozhuo learned that Lola's wings had been injured before, and even after recovery, it still affected her flying.

It is said that the bones were broken.

Jiang Zhuozhuo felt that the composition of bird bones was no different from other bones, so like cures like was still useful, and it was time to drink some bone soup to replenish his body!
Lao Lu thought it made sense. He also liked to eat big bones. After eating too much, he felt that his bones had returned to the state of his youth.

After all, she is his daughter, and he hopes that Laura’s old injury can heal.

Lola found it funny after hearing this. If eating a few bones could have such miraculous effects, wouldn't all the doctors in the entire East Continent go crazy?

She felt that her old father was a bit like a cultist now - the kind who firmly believed that sacrificing living people could give him strength and life. Isn't "replenishing the body with like" and "extending life with life" the same principle?

Considering that Jiang Zhuozhuo was the descendant of the Mother Goddess, Laura did not say this.

She suggested taking a look at the collection of stories that Lao Lu told in his letters first.

Jiang Zhuozhuo has been holding small storytelling sessions every day during this period, and Anna has compiled a lot of fairy tales for her, and the pile of manuscripts is already quite impressive.

When Laura received the manuscript, she didn't know that many memorable stories are usually not simple fairy tales...

Positive stories like "The Golden Carpet" are still rare.

Soon, Lola suffered a series of critical attacks from stories such as "The Daughter of the Sea", "The Little Match Girl", "The Happy Prince", and "The Nightingale and the Rose".

Occasionally, there is a cute-looking "Thumbelina", but it doesn't seem right after watching it -

A little girl who was only the size of a thumb and was loved by everyone at home was actually stolen by a toad and married to his stupid son because she was too pretty. From then on, she was forced to leave her loving family and wander around...

Seeing this, Lola's fists hardened, and she wanted to give the toad two punches.

Smash it into meat patties.

This kind of behavior of stealing someone else's child is hated wherever you go. Seeing that Lola's anger level was obviously rising, Xiao Yuanniao began to move the picture album he was reading away, and he also kept a safe distance from Lola according to the picture album.

What did she do wrong? She was just a carrier of fairy tales!

When he saw that Laura had finished reading all the manuscripts, the little round bird quietly moved back and asked, "How is it? Can it be published? Will everyone like it?"

Laura smiled and said, “Of course, everyone will like it very much.”

There is murderous intent!
The little round bird moved away cautiously.

Lola saw the sneaky little movements of the little round bird and tried hard to make her smile look less ferocious.

There's nothing you can do about it. With her violent temper and her hatred of evil, there are characters in every story that she wants to punch. When you think about it this way, these stories really do describe the characters vividly.

The story itself is enough to make the book popular. If she can leverage her connections in the industry to make some money, the money earned from this book may be more than the tax revenue of Woye Province in ten or eight years - this place is really poor.

"These sketches you drew are also very valuable for reference." Lola commented objectively, "Many of the plants and characters in them match the story very well. When I go back, I will invite a famous artist to add illustrations based on them. It will be no problem to create a best-selling book."

Jiang Zhuozhuo saw that Laura's analysis was very logical and didn't seem like she would murder the porter, so he leaned over and said, "You looked very angry after reading it. I thought you didn't like it."

Lola smiled and said, "Many things don't disappear just because we don't talk about them. I think it's good to let the little birds feel a little bit of the evil of human nature when listening to the story."

Besides, she has been irritated by these stories, so how can she not let the readers experience this kind of hard-core reading experience together? !

Not only does she have to publish this book, she also has to work hard to help recommend it and strive to spread it to thousands of households!
You’re welcome. This is what she should do as a publishing practitioner!
Jiang Zhuozhuo always felt that something was burning in this beautiful elder sister in front of him.

Is this the momentum of the leader of the "pigeons"?

It seems that it is only a matter of time before this fairy tale becomes popular!

Jiang Zhuozhuo said happily: "That's great!"

At this time, Old Lu, who had flown away at some point, flew back and said, "Let's go eat noodles together after you finish watching."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to glance at Laura. The last time he had dinner with this daughter was a long time ago.

This is what happens when children grow up. Everyone is busy with their own things, and no one can be free to accompany their parents all day, let alone a family like theirs that doesn't even have a stable marriage.

Old Lu was very happy that Lola came to visit him this time.

Several people went to the restaurant together.

Jiang Zhuozhuo strongly invited Lola to enjoy the joy of sucking bone marrow together.

This is certainly not a healthy behavior, nor is it an elegant behavior, but it is really happy!
Such a big bone is full of fragrant and smooth marrow. Taking a bite of it is absolutely an indescribable enjoyment!
Lola herself doesn't mind this somewhat rough way of eating.

She had been to the front line with the soldiers. In that situation, it was good enough to have something to eat. How could she be picky?
But Laura knew her father's temper very well. He was always particular about his manners. Even if his studio was piled high with drawings, he would still comb his hair meticulously and would never do it in front of others.

Lola had just thought about this when she saw her old father, who pursued elegance, sucking his big bone skillfully.

Laura: ?????
Suddenly I don’t understand this world anymore.

Was it the wrong way she opened her eyes today?

Why does it feel like her father has completely changed after coming to Woye Province!
It was only after Old Lu had sucked out all his bone marrow that he realized his daughter was present today.

He raised his head to meet Laura's incredulous gaze, and slowly put down the bone in his hand.

Give yourself a few seconds to calm down.

Then Lao Lu greeted him nonchalantly: "Don't just stand there, try it quickly, maybe the food here will really be effective for your old injury."

Laura knew that her old father was very proud, so she naturally stopped staring at him.

Although she didn't quite believe that eating and drinking alone would help her situation, Lola did not let Old Lu down.

She curiously followed their lead and picked up the chopsticks in front of her, picked up some noodles and put them into her mouth.

It is difficult to describe the feeling when the noodles entered her mouth. To her, this kind of food was unfamiliar from the texture to the taste, but after tasting it, she felt it was so familiar.

There is even a strong desire deep in my heart——

Still want more.

It doesn’t matter whether it can heal the wound or not, it tastes really good.

No wonder I heard from the "carrier pigeon" below that the youngest son of the Lingman family was preparing to cooperate with the Woye Province. It seems that the Woye Province does have a resource that can be well developed.

If you just want to fight for that position, agricultural products alone are far from enough.

I have never heard of anyone winning the throne by relying on agricultural products.

Laura looked at Jiang Zhuozhuo, who was happily eating noodles not far away, and suddenly fell silent again.

...Why does it seem like this Ninth Princess has no intention of competing for the throne?
