003.种树，计划（1/2）

五天后。

罗真坐在书桌前，下意识地呼出【阅读者面板】。

面板之上，之前困扰他多日的两个负面状態消失不见。

取而代之的是，一片乾净的状態栏。

儘管【营养不良】的標识依旧停留在面板的一角，提醒著罗真身体的虚弱。

但持续三天的冥想，已让他的精神焕然一新。

原本黯淡的眼神变得清亮，脸上的疲惫也消散大半，就连呼吸都比之前平稳了许多。

“也该出去看看了。”

罗真关闭面板，走出姨妈家。

今天清晨的洛克镇格外热闹。

小镇中心的圆形小广场上，早早聚集了不少居民，大多是穿著粗布短衫的农夫。

人群的焦点，是站在一个半人高木箱上的中年男人。

他穿著熨烫平整的灰色制服，袖口別著银质袖扣，一看就知道是镇子里哪位贵族家的管家。

管家清了清嗓子，声音穿透人群，清晰地传到每个人耳中：

“诸位静一静！雷恩老爷需要一批人手，去南边的向阳坡种植橡树！”

“这次劳作，老爷包一顿午饭，工钱一天 100枚铜幣，只要十个手脚麻利的！”

话音刚落，广场上瞬间炸开了锅。

100枚铜幣的日薪，在洛克镇绝对算得上丰厚报酬。

要知道，寻常农户买一斤黑麵包也只需 3枚铜幣。

100枚铜幣足够一家人省吃俭用度过大半个月。

人群中顿时响起此起彼伏的议论声，不少人已经跃跃欲试地往前挤，生怕错过了这难得的活计。

罗真站在人群外围，看著那位管家，心里忽地涌起了一个想法。

他挤开身前的人，快步朝著木箱方向走去。

对罗真而言，100枚铜幣的工钱固然诱人，能暂时缓解窘迫的生活。

但更让他看中的是，雷恩老爷这个名字。

前几天罗真曾在镇上的杂货铺里听人閒聊得知。

雷恩老爷是洛克镇，少数几位拥有私人藏书的贵族。

虽然那些藏书大概率是关於农业种植，林业养护的实用书籍。

或是供贵族消遣的骑士小说，很难有高深的知识。

但对如今连一本完整书籍，从没见过的罗真来说。

任何类型的书籍都是一笔財宝。

毕竟，在这个世界上，知识远比铜幣更珍贵。

如果能借用这次机会，接触到贵族家的藏书，或许能为自己打开新的大门。

很快，管家开始筛选人选。

他目光扫过拥挤的人群，优先挑选身材壮实、看起来有力气的成年人。

等轮到罗真之时，管家皱了皱眉。

眼前的少年身体太过单薄，而且脸色还有些苍白，实在不像是能做重活的样子。

但罗真挺直了脊背，坚定地说道：

“管家先生，我虽然看著瘦，但做事麻利，不会拖慢工作的进度。”

或许是因为罗真的態度太过恳切。

又或许是他年轻的脸庞上，透著一股肯乾的韧劲。

这位管家犹豫了片刻后，最终还是在名单上写下了他的名字。
