Such repetitive work made me realize a problem, that is, Aaron's body is in poor health due to long-term alcoholism. Caused me to feel tired after an hour of work.

At this time, I saw Alicia standing by and looking at me. Do you think that since she is my guardian knight now, I should let her properly perform her duties as a guardian?

"Alicia, I have something I want to trouble you with."

"What is it, Master Aaron?"

"Shovel," I picked up another shovel from the side, "come and shovel with me."

"..."

Alicia looked at me with cold eyes.

"Don't be so indifferent, Alicia. If we work together, the work efficiency will increase by two or three times."

"..."

The ice cubes are gradually melting.

"If work efficiency increases, houses with underfloor heating can be built very quickly. So the mother of the tavern owner can quickly get rid of the cold torture."

"..."

I slowly induced Alicia to think about the benefits and meaning of helping me work together. And Alicia's eyes became no longer cold.

"If the tavern owner's mother can live in a warm house, then the tavern owner will be very satisfied with this order. Not only can the loss of the tavern be repaid, but it can also reduce the baron's debt pressure."

"..."

Seeing Alicia's gradual wavering, I couldn't help showing an evil and smug smile.

"The most important thing is that as long as the house is successfully built this time, it will be a good publicity case! Other residents in need will come to us to book. As long as there are these orders, we can repay the family's debt!"

"That's enough, don't talk anymore," Alicia gave up completely, and then took the shovel from me, "tell me what to do?"

At this moment, Alicia's face was full of helplessness. But I found that her helpless expression was so beautiful and alluring that I instinctively stared at her.

"Master?"

"...I'm here! It's like this, first shovel out part of the soil, then pour part of the loess in the wine barrel into the shoveled space, flatten it with a shovel, then pour it in, and flatten it again until it reaches this height. "

…

While Aaron and Alicia were toiling away in the field behind the tavern.

Residents passing by saw Aaron and Alicia shoveling and shared the news with friends and family. Likewise, his friends and relatives also told their acquaintances the news.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

At this time, as the content of the message continued to spread, it gradually became divorced from the actual situation, and even became strange:

Some residents talk to each other while resting in the farmland:

"You know what? I saw that bastard young master and the knight woman shoveling dirt in the clearing behind the tavern, and they kept doing it over and over again."

"What? Shoveling dirt?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! Just digging it out with a shovel and putting it back in."

"Why do you do that?"

"I heard that Master Aaron threatened the boss. It seems that he signed some land sale contract."

"Is it shoveling to find treasure?"

…

At this time, in a residential building, a man who had just returned from the farm was telling his wife and children the news he heard today:

"I heard that Master Aaron robbed the treasure map of the tavern owner!"

"What! Treasure map!"

The children were jumping with great excitement.

"Really? There are still treasures in a country like ours?"

The man's wife wonders about the veracity of the news.

"Really! I heard that Master Aaron and the female knight were digging for treasure in the open space behind the tavern as soon as they got the treasure map."

"Dad, take me there!"

"No! If Master Aaron sees us, he will definitely think that we leaked the news!"

…

By the river, the women doing the laundry are doing their laundry and talking:

"Did you know? This morning, Master Aaron hid the wine he brewed privately in the basement of the tavern."

"Why are you hiding there?"

"Maybe it's because Master Aaron likes the atmosphere of the tavern? Didn't he go to the tavern every day?"

"How did you know?"

"Someone saw him shoveling dirt in that clearing today, and he must have wanted to get the wine out."

…

At this time, Aaron didn't know that in less than a day, enthusiastic residents had turned his story of shoveling soil into more than a dozen versions, and the content of each version was different.

Also because of these strange stories, the open space behind the tavern has attracted the attention of many residents.

Aaron found that there are always many residents passing the road next to the tavern, and some people even take this road repeatedly.

…

A few days later, with the help of Alicia, Aaron has successfully built the foundation of the house with a length of 3.6 meters and a width of 3 meters.

"I don't know if it's my illusion. Why do I feel that there are more residents passing by here, and they are all peeking at me and Alicia?"

I saw the residents talking to each other on the road next to me. I feel a little strange.

"Forget it," I turned to Alicia and said, "Alicia, we've done the first step! Now it's the second step, we need to join the wood together to make the frame of the house!"

In the hot sun, my shirt was soaked with sweat. I wiped the sweat that had built up on my brow with my hand, then glanced at Alicia.

At this time, Alicia was not wearing armor, but a shirt and trousers that were convenient for movement. Alicia didn't sweat as much as I did. Instead, there were only a few crystal drops of water hanging on her forehead. Make her face look a little sparkly.

At the same time, due to sweating, her originally loose shirt was completely attached to her upper body, completely exposing her huge breasts and beautiful curves.

This made me so fascinated by watching it that I even forgot what I was supposed to do. Because, when I was in college, although I also saw some good-looking women.

However, perhaps because Alicia received knight training since she was a child, her figure is different from those trained through dieting and dancing. Instead, she has obvious muscle lines, but she does not lack the soft curves unique to women.

This sense of contrast gives Alicia a unique temperament, a combination of strength and softness.

Alicia noticed Aaron's gaze, and then raised her head to look at Aaron. She quickly realized that when Aaron saw himself from the perspective of a man admiring a woman, Alicia frowned and clenched the shovel in her hand:

"Master Aaron, is it for this purpose that you asked me to help you shovel the ground?"

Alicia's tone was a little cold, and there was a murderous look in her eyes. It made me feel like I was doing an ice bucket challenge - I shuddered a bit, then waved my hands vigorously:

"You misunderstood, Alicia!" I touched the back of my head with my hand, turned my eyes to the side, and said with some embarrassment: "Because I have never seen a girl as attractive as you. Please forgive me insolence. My knight."

In the novel "The Heroic Knight", Alicia's character is proud. She doesn't think she is inferior to men, so she hopes to become a knight, a knight who is stronger than anyone else.

So, I knew she would be pissed off if I just saw her as a pure woman. Because it ignores the hard work she always thought she had put in to become the strongest knight.

Alicia's expression changed from hostility to surprise and surprise when she heard my apology. She widened her eyes for a moment, then quickly returned to normal:

"So, what should the second step be?"

"We put these lighter timbers upright first, then we used longer wooden strips as the borders of these timbers, and then connected them to complete a wall."

At my reminder, Alicia and I worked together to make the walls. After making the four walls, we erected the walls on the foundation, and then used wooden strips as temporary supports for these walls to prevent the walls from tipping over.

Next, arrange a layer of head plate for the wall, just like adding a cover to a box.

I deliberately ran to the river to collect some sticky silt, and used it as an adhesive to stick the prepared wooden boards on the wall.

At the same time, in order to ensure a good thermal insulation effect, it is necessary to evenly coat the mixture of loess and straw on both sides of the board as a thermal insulation layer.

Alicia and I did not complete the task until near sunset.

Although my hands were covered with mud, I put my hands on my hips at this time, and then proudly looked at the house that was almost formed.

"How about it, do you think construction is also a very interesting thing?"

Seeing the mud sticking to Alicia's face, I asked Alicia with a smile. Alicia didn't answer me, but seriously admired the work that she and Aaron had built together by the light of the setting sun.

"feel good…"
