This autumn day is really hot. Selena helped Maria prepare the meal and braved the scorching afternoon sun to deliver the food. She was already covered in sweat on the road and her clothes were stuck to her body. Very uncomfortable. Her cheeks were also wet with sweat, some strands of hair were wet and stuck to her face, and her entire body seemed to be wet with water. But beauty is like that: not only does she not look messy, but she looks even more beautiful with whiter skin and pink lips.
Selena was anxious at that time, so she didn't notice anyone on the mountain, she put the soap in Leo's hand with a simple explanation and then hurriedly went to help Maria pack her things so she could return early and gets water to bathe.
Maria was also aware of her daughter's squeamishness, so there was still warm water in the pot at home for her to use for bathing. Seeing that everyone had eaten more or less the same, she quickly tidied up, put the dishes in the load and left them for José to take them back home after she finished work for the afternoon. And they returned along the original path immediately.
In the small and stuffy western room, Selena had been bathing in the bathtub for a long time, and then she felt that the heat of her body had faded, there were still some jasmine petals floating in the bathwater.
The conditions at home did not allow it, it was okay, she cannot use expensive spices, but this will not stop her from using your own methods to make her life as comfortable as possible, so she tried several times and found that sprinkling a little flower petals in the bathtub and adding two drops of magic water would make her life more comfortable, it will be more comfortable to bathe.
Although the magical water gushing from the palm of the hand is of little use to humans, it can allow the flower petals to completely evaporate its effects. The most obvious thing is that the fragrance smells more pleasant. He doesn't know if it is because it has been soaked for a long time to absorb the fragrance, or it is because of the pure fragrance, the body absorbed the fragrance of the petals in the water, and even if he bathed with clean water the next day, the fragrance of the flowers would still remain on his skin for a long time, lasting longer than the smell of some expensive spices he put on.
After soaking for half an hour, Selena finally got out of the bathtub. After wiping the water droplets off her body and putting on her pajamas, she yawned lightly and felt comfortable, then sat lazily on a stool and slowly dried her semi-wet hair. After carefully combing her long hair, she tied it up with a hair band, then looked closely at the mirror and looked at her face. In the bronze mirror she saw a girl with her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were clear and watery, then From the tan there was no redness, itching or traces, and his worries disappeared.
The sun has been stronger these days and she was busy helping Maria without time to worry about anything else. Fortunately, she used balm on her face every night, which did not cause red pimples on her face like in her previous life.
She got up and opened a porcelain box with a delicate picture of a beautiful girl's fan, dipped some light green crystal facial butter that she made from fresh mountain tea leaves, wiped it on her hands, face and neck, and then climbed into bed to catch up on some sleep.
On the other side of Flores Mountain, a dilapidated carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. A man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in tatters, jumped out. He hurried towards the mountain and when he found the person, he jumped a little and said, "Hey Luecio, why are you still here in a daze? We don't have much time left. The recruitment period for the Capital Knights legion is only open during "Three months, and it's already been two months. If you delay any longer, even if we take turns driving the carriage without sleeping, we won't be able to catch up, you know the distance. If we fail this time, we won't have the chance."
That man was the boy who smuggled furs with Lucio. He is also from a poor family and his parents have died. People like them have an obsession with being powerful stronger than ordinary people. If they do not have family support, then they can join the Legion of Knights.
In the future, it would be nice if they could use their military service to obtain an official position. The Capital Knight Legion is one of the best places to go. There are countless outstanding knights there. There is also a systematic training system and promotion system, and they receive orders directly from the King. Although I heard that the requirements for recruiting knights are very strict and the training process is terrifying and dangerous, it is undoubtedly the best way out for those who want to stand out.
It seemed that he noticed that Lucio's expression was not correct when he remained silent. He followed his gaze and looked towards the foot of the mountain, coincidentally he saw the back of a girl dressed in a gray cloth. It was immediately clear that he knew something about the matter in Lucio's family, it seemed that the girl at the foot of the mountain was the one he was engaged to, and he suddenly felt a little disdainful.
"Lucio, after we join the Knight Legion, if you achieve great military success in the future, you will have a bright future. When you become powerful, let alone a village girl, you will be able to marry lady of the nobles of the capital..."
Why then worry about not having a beautiful woman to throw herself into my arms? The man secretly shook his head as he spoke. Although the girl looked good, she was just a village girl, so there was nothing to be nostalgic about. When she became a Knight, he would naturally forget about it.
As if the man reminded him, Lucio's expression finally softened. He looked into the distance, then withdrew his gaze and threw away the leaves he had crushed into balls. Without looking back, he turned around and said, "Let's go..."
The man was stunned for a moment and then nodded. At first he thought Lucio would be difficult to persuade, but now he was somewhat impressed by Lucio's determination.
How could a person who will be successful be bound by the issue of trouble? It seemed like he had finally seen the right person this time.
Of course, if the two of them hadn't been chased by people from the Knights' Hall when they returned from the border, and Lucio blocked an arrow for him during the escape, otherwise how could he have given up the opportunity and insisted on wasting time and driving carriage all the way here to persuade him? This is entirely because this person is worthy of deep friendship.
Not long after, two figures jumped into the carriage. The man whipped the horse hard, raised his front hooves and whistled, rushed out in an instant, and quickly disappeared on the dirt road of the mountain.
At that moment Maria and Helena were sitting at the table weaving lace, Helena looked up from time to time and saw Selena pouring water, her beautiful appearance right after bathing really made her envious as a woman. For a moment she was envious of how Maria could give birth to a daughter with that appearance. Compared to her, her daughter is like an ugly country girl. But Selena's appearance is no worse than that of a city girl.
