Chapter 212 Elbow, come home with me
Although it was already very late, it was impossible to spend the night at Mira's house.
If he has no place to live or lives very far away, he can still make excuses, but unfortunately all conditions are not met.
The door was closed tightly, and Rhodes could only walk back with Worm, but he was in a good mood.
Just now, Mira didn't follow martial ethics and sneaked up on Rhodes, a 19-year-old young man, and hugged him from behind when he turned to leave.
When he wanted to turn around, Mira had already ran into the house and closed the door tightly. It was too much. He actually ran away after hugging me. I must hug him back another day.
For now, let’s hold Worm for a while.
Five seconds later, Rhodes put Worm down again in disgust.
There was a lot of snow on the child's paws and calves, and it was wet after it melted. Next time, don't let him walk in the snow on his own.
"Summon, Canyon Swift Crab!"
At times like this, it's better to use a means of transport. It's a cold-blooded animal, and it's strange that it can move in the snow without being affected at all.
Rhodes took Worm and sat on the back of the river crab. Suddenly he felt something. When he looked back, he happened to meet a pair of eyes upstairs.
The two waved to each other and began to look forward to the new day.
…
The day starts with clearing the snow.
When Rhodes went out, Goodman had not yet arrived. The snow at the door was about half thick. It is estimated that Goodman was still dealing with the snow at his residence.
The surrounding people have already started work, and they usually sweep out a small path starting from the door, sweeping all the way to the main road, and then sweeping a section to both sides of the main road.
Like an established rule, every household does this, and then the roads cleared by everyone are connected together, and the road will soon be able to pass normally.
This is true in Magnolia, and even more so in the countryside where there are no sanitation workers.
Everyone cleans with different degrees of seriousness, and the shapes they sweep out are also different, ranging from wide to narrow.
Such connected roads with different widths are like neighbors connected by emotions. This kind of road has a unique flavor when walking on snowy days.
Since Goodman is not here, the cleaning work will naturally be done by Rhodes.
He remembered that his neighbor was an elderly grandma. Although he usually didn't say a few words, he still wanted to clean up to the door of grandma's house.
The neighbor on the other side of Grandma’s house is an uncle who is older than Goodman, and he seems to have the same plan.
Rhodes and him didn't communicate much. They both looked at each other with a smile after half the work, and then went back with the tools.
The work of clearing snow has just begun, because after clearing the roads, there is a more important job, which is to clear the roof.
If the snow on the roof is not treated in time, some of it will seep into the roof after it turns into water. When it freezes again at night, the roof will swell.
If the load is too heavy, the house is in danger of collapsing. In addition, sharp ice can easily condense under the eaves, which is quite dangerous to pedestrians.
It was much easier for Rhodes to get up to the roof than ordinary people. He didn't even need a ladder, he could just fly up after receiving the sharp-beaked bird.
If you don't climb and jump directly, you are worried about slipping and making a fool of yourself.
I took a snow shovel and pushed the snow off the roof in flakes. The sound of the thud falling to the ground felt very weighty.
He also saw an unscrupulous father push the snow off the roof and fall on his son while his son was building a snowman at the door.
Presumably after he finishes his work, his wife will communicate with him properly.
Rhodes was naturally planning to take care of the neighbor's grandmother's roof, but he had to say hello first.
Otherwise, if you hit the old lady, it will be a lot of fun.
"Good boy, let's have a cup of hot tea first." The old lady seemed very happy about Rod's visit. Not only did she pour the tea, she took out various snacks and fruits from the cabinet.
Some looked like they had been there for a long time, and the skins of the apples were wrinkled. Things that she would normally be reluctant to eat are now being taken out to entertain guests.
There was no reason to dislike the old man's kindness. Rhodes picked up a piece of snack and ate it with tea. It was a bit hard, but the taste was okay. "I remember you were a tenant of the Goodman family and a wizard from Fairy Tail, right?"
"Yes, I started living here last summer."
"Yeah, it's been a long time. Last summer..."
The old lady may be lonely, and she wants to chat for a while when guests come.
Rhodes actually wanted to finish his work quickly so that he could go to the guild to see what Mira and everyone else were doing.
But there is no rush, there is always time to chat with the old man.
So Rod knew that Bayer's name was given by Goodman's father; he knew that the couple across the street often quarreled over their children;
I also learned that there is a certain fruit stall that likes to put fruits in good condition on top, but when it comes to weighing them, it will secretly replace a few fruits in bad condition...
The topics of chatting with the elderly are often very jumpy. The same thing is that they are all trivial things that happened around her.
It may not necessarily be valuable news, nor may it be an interesting story, but as long as someone listens to it, the old man will be happy.
Rhodes waited patiently until she started to say what she had already said a second time before he gently put down the teacup.
"It's getting warmer now. It's time for me to help you clear the snow."
"well."
"Wait inside the house, don't stand under the eaves."
Rhodes gave serious instructions before bringing the tools to the room.
After cleaning for a while, it was quite interesting to straighten up with a snow shovel and just look at the people on other people’s roofs.
Rhodes had good eyesight and could see that there were already people working on the roof of the guild building.
He moved quickly, and after cleaning up, he said goodbye to the old lady, and then rushed to the guild.
The sun has risen, but there is no sign of the snow melting yet. There is often a water stain where the road meets the snow.
As soon as he arrived at the guild, he was greeted by Mira's cordial greeting: "I'm late, my salary will be deducted."
Rhodes's heart felt so cold. Yesterday he had a sneak attack and today he was stabbed in the back?
"No, I was just a little late because I was helping my neighbor's grandma clear the snow."
Mira reluctantly nodded: "In that case, I forgive you."
"How is it here at the guild?"
"It's almost done cleaning up, and there are enough manpower. We will have to help people clear the snow later."
Mira put on her coat while talking, and said before Rhodes asked, "I want to go home first."
Rhodes just unbuttoned one coat button and then buttoned it back up: "Elfman isn't back yet, is he?"
"Well, I should be back today or tomorrow. It's not easy for a carriage to travel on this road."
"Oh." Rhodes followed her back without saying much.
If you go back at this time, you should come to the guild early in the morning to organize these problem children.
The snow at her house must not have been dealt with yet, and Rhodes certainly couldn't just watch it.
Mira pinched his arm. Why could this person follow him so naturally?
Rhodes smiled. The clothes were too thick and didn't pinch him. He looked like he wanted to drag him home.
When I was writing this chapter, I suddenly remembered the snow clearing every winter in my hometown. I wrote so much without realizing it. At that time, my grandma (grandpa’s sister-in-law) was next door to my house. Her children were not around, and I was the one covering the roof of her house. Come and scan
