Even the two little girls were astonished. "You let your mother do it all alone? Cooking, cleaning, washing...?"
Seeing three children gape at them like they were some sort of idiots the three blushed. "Isn't that woman job?"
Oh no, he didn't say that...
Both girls shook their heads as one covered her eyes and the other covered her ears.
They saw their deity staring at them with fire sparkling in her eyes and got frightened.
"We... we were taught that way..." They tried to explain, but the problem is, when Anna Gale gets fired up, even Henry Gale had problem talking to her.
Actually, he usually escapes as she literally would drown him with facts.
"Ohhhh. Taught?" She rose her sleeves and showed her thin arms as if she wanted to fight them directly. "Should I teach you as well? What is your head used if not for logical thinking!?"
Her roar made them shake.
Marco opened his mouth to say something bit she literally shut him up as she gave him a cold stare. "Eleven children... Eleven! Eleven!!!"
Her voice revebrated in the stillness and few villagers came out as they heard yell at the end of the village.
She stared at them with furious expression.
"From today on, if I see her washing your clothes or doing heavy work in household I'll break your legs. Literally. I can do that. Men are actually very good cooks and as I saw most restaurants and resting places have males as cooks. Learn from her and let her rest, my goodness! I will be watching you. Now tell me children ages, hurry! "
"Youngest is five and rest of us are one year difference." Marco spoke and made Anna gape.
"Wait... what?" If there are eleven children and she got children once a year than this uncle is not an uncle! He is sixteen or seventeen???
He had no idea why all three of them looked confused as they disapeared behind the gate.
Soon they came out with a pair of warm thermal socks for each of them and two pairs of fluffy socks for their mother.
"Winter is coming and your three will need to think about heating and food for winter. I won't be coming next few days as I need to see various healers about your mother's illness. If there is any medication that could at least ease her pain without harming her, I'll bring it. Now let's talk about your future task."
Anna Gale looked at the three seriously.
"I want to travel further away and see the land with my own eyes as I talk to the people. But traveling alone is boring. One of you must make decision to travel with me." She looked at their stunned and then excited expressions. "I don't mind if all three of you come, but who will stay back to help your mother? "
"We will teach them lesson before we leave. Don't worry, we won't tell them about your... ability. But traveling now is not wise. It's not like I don't wanna go, but so soon before winter is dangerous." Of course he knew that this deity could just escape, but he couldn't pit his brothers in danger.
Of course as expected. It's really too dangerous.
"I understand. What time of year is best for traveling?" She was direct.
"From late spring to early fall." Marco explained while his two brothers reluctantly understood that before spring they can't leave.
"You three will get enough land for your family to support themselves while you are gone. Don't worry, I will leave some money for them so they can live comfortably until the three of you are not back." She offered and saw all three of them shaking their heads.
"Miss, I literally earned enough for my family to have enough food for one year and already rented a house in the city as it's safer." He pointed at the house and shrruged. "This house was temporary anyway as I couldn't park carriage and bring mule to that house."
"I understand. I will bring another set of things you can sell on next market day. What about wild herbs and teas?" She already realized that many needed those.
"Now before winter those are indeed needed." All three agreed and already knew they will earn quite an amount of money.
Anna Gale nodded and left trough the shiny gate with the cart and her two sister and smiled at them. "I have a simple duty tomorrow for you. We can go have fun tomorrow after I come back at the meadow, but you two must help me with putting teas into paper bags so we can sell it. By the way, I found funny movies and you two can watch movies and open tea bags at the same time."
The two girls of course didn't mind and already agreed.
This time all three went to take shower at their own house and came back refreshed and comfortable.
They washed at clothes and beddings at Mr. Smith's house as he was the only one that had solar panels and they spread them outside to dry.
They of course had taken fresh beddings from Mr. Muller next door. He and his wife had down blankets and they needed to just be aired. That night they slept like babies as down blankets were seriously warm and comfortable.
Suddenly in mid of night a warning appeared and blinked red. The bright red light woke up Anna and she saw whole crowd of zombies moving quickly towards their town.
"Oh no, the zombies are coming."
Anna jumped from her bed and dizzily put her clothes on. It was already cold an white cloud appeared in front of her lips.
She tucked the two girls in and first appeared in front of the guard in jail yard. "Tell everyone that zombie horde is coming and it's huge. Spray whole surrounding in desinfectant and be as silent as you can. Don't make large noise. I will bring you supplies later. Now go hurry and warn everyone."
He just nodded and saw her dissapear in white light.
A soldier saw shiny light appearing and already warned sleepy officer that was leaned on nearby truck. "Sir, the gate..."
The gate was shining in middle of night?
This is bad...
