So I'm a sheep.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

The three set off quickly. There was a lot of snow on the ground, and each step left a hole.

Huff, huff.

The man was already panting heavily after walking only half the distance.

Feeling very embarrassed, Sasha, wrapped in a thick blanket and perched on his back, cried out, "Uncle, put me down, I can walk."

You can't leave.

Before the man could refuse, Aman said, "Sasha, I checked you while you were asleep, and you have multiple frostbite injuries."

"You absolutely must avoid getting frostbite again, otherwise it will cause lasting health problems!"

As he spoke, Aman came to the girl's side and bent down slightly.

"Come on, let me carry you."

"This, this is not good."

The man said somewhat awkwardly, "It's okay, I still have the strength."

"The other girl will need you when she comes back, so don't push yourself."

Aman patted his back and urged, "Hurry up and get on!"

Previously, men swayed a lot when walking in the snow, but Oman remained very steady.

She walked at a leisurely pace, and over time, Sasha actually sensed a rhythm in her movements.

...................................

'We're almost at the village, and she doesn't seem tired at all?'

That's amazing physical fitness!

While marveling at her, Sasha also sensed something was amiss.

Is it really a matter of physical fitness? The older Oman is much more physically fit than the younger, stronger man next to him.

'Unlikely, so...'

His breathing was abnormally regular, his body swayed very little, and he always took the same number of steps.

'She's not physically strong, she just knows the tricks to conserve energy!'

After figuring this out, Sasha suddenly became very envious of the young master of the Alec family.

She and her sister could only farm and herd sheep from a young age. Others didn't have to do anything, were served by others every day, and had teachers like Aman to teach them skills one by one!

"How do I get to the village after I enter?"

Turn left

"Take the path ahead and keep going until the end."

That's my home!

The door was closed tightly, so my sister should be alright.

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. After Aman reached the door, she quickly knocked and shouted, "Sister, sister, I'm home!"

"Sasha?"

Soon, a surprised voice came from inside: "The door is blocked. I probably can't move it by myself. I'll have to get out through the window."

"Yes, remember to bring Dad's earthenware jar!"

The earthenware jar contained Vernon's savings over the years, intended as dowries for his two daughters.

You can leave everything else at home, but you must bring Dad's earthenware jar.

"it is good"

First, she handed the pottery jar to her sister through the window, and then Lachesis nimbly crawled out.

“Sasha…”

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm perfectly fine."

After offering a few words of comfort, the girl quickly said, "Let's go quickly, I don't want to stay here for another second."

"Where?"

"The Baron's Mansion, the kind Baron is willing to take us in for the winter."

......................................

The two sisters were very grateful to Baron Ricky for his help and wanted to thank him in person.

Unfortunately, the Baron had no interest in seeing the two country girls, and as soon as winter was over, he had Aman send them away.

"Master Ricky"

Seeing that Aman was smiling and about to say something, the Baron shook his head: "I don't need any maids for the time being. Even if I do hire maids someday, I don't want country girls."

Well, I originally wanted to do my future apprentice a favor and help her sister arrange her later life.

Since the Baron doesn't want to give me that face, there's nothing I can do.

Fortunately, there are other ways to curry favor.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, I've had someone search the mountains and found your father's body!"

"Are you planning to bury him in the cemetery outside town, or...?"

The two sisters immediately knelt down before Aman. Lachesis choked back tears and said, "Father's remains... I don't know how I can ever repay such a great kindness."

Sasha nodded vigorously beside her, "You helped us find Dad's body, you are our great benefactor!"

That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say!

"Er Ya, you have perseverance and talent, I have high hopes for you!"

Aman said indirectly, "Although I teach the young master swordsmanship and he calls me teacher, we are not master and disciple in the strict sense."

"Ahem, Er Ya, do you know what I mean?"

"Please, take me as your apprentice!!!"

The girl kowtowed several times: "Teacher, if you won't accept me, I... I'll kneel here until I die and never get up again!"

Aman was secretly overjoyed, but put on a reluctant expression.

"I see you're quite sincere, girl. Fine, fine, I'll accept you as my disciple!"

"By the way, your father's remains..."

The two sisters exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We'll bury them in the cemetery outside the town, we won't come back to the village!"

.......................................

After paying their respects to Vernon, the two sisters followed Aman back to her home.

It was only natural for Sasha to move to Aman's house, while Lachesis simply benefited from her sister's situation.

Upon entering the house, Aman said awkwardly, "It's a bit messy, but we can tidy it up."

The room was filthy and messy, a complete mess. It seems Sasha's teacher is a slovenly person.

The two sisters didn't say a word of complaint and helped Aman tidy up.

"I'll buy another wooden bed later, so you sisters can sleep together."

"Yes, teacher!"

"I'll teach you some basics first. Practice hard at home during the day, and I'll test you when I get back in the evening."

"Yes!"

Aman was quite pleased with her disciple's obedient behavior. She looked at Lachesis and said, "Young lady, I originally wanted to arrange for you to work in the Baron's mansion, but it didn't work out."

What kind of trade would you like to learn?

"Weaving and tailoring."

Lachesis took the earthenware jar out of the package, held it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Oman.

“Aman… Teacher, please allow me to call you teacher as well.”

"I'm counting on you for everything!"

Volume 1: Chapter 617 Third-Rate Expert

Originally, when it came to crafts, Aman was prepared to pay for Lachesis's tuition out of his own pocket.

The Baron is very generous and has been tutoring the young master for several years, so Aman has accumulated quite a bit of savings.

Unexpectedly, the young girl gave him the pottery jar!

'She doesn't seem like an uncultured country girl at all; that's really strange.'

Aman accepted the pottery jar without hesitation, and said with a smile, "I'll keep the money inside for you. You'll need it someday."

A thorough cleaning was done, and a new wooden bed was purchased.

While she was at it, she bought some meat and cooked dinner for the two sisters herself.

Sasha wolfed down three bowls of rice, while Lachesis, though more refined, ate half a bowl more than usual.

For ordinary people, eating meat is a very rare treat.

"Teacher Aman, I'll take charge of cooking from now on."

Lachesis smiled and said, "I'll prepare some hot porridge in the morning, so you can eat it before you set off."

I get up relatively early.

“When I was herding sheep at home, I definitely got up earlier than you.”

"Teacher, my sister's cooking is amazing!" Sasha chimed in, her words muffled.

"Then, thank you for your help."

With two more people in the house, it's become more lively, but Aman is a little unaccustomed to it.
