A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 215 Old Hans' Logbook
Watching Anya leave to complete her commission, Leon stroked his chin and thought about Anya's situation just now, and speculated in his mind what exactly Anya thought she would ask him to help with.

Willy and Gus, who had been watching the entire conversation, looked at each other and then huddled together to whisper.

"Although Leon is quite smart, he doesn't seem to be very sensitive to emotional matters."

"Maybe he didn't think about it that way."

"That little mermaid's eyes are almost thread-like when she looks at him. Can't you see that?"

"I didn't notice it either."

"So you deserve to be single."

"Bah, then don't come to eat at this old bachelor's tavern in the future. I'm not worthy of entertaining you."

"Don't worry, I'm also single, we are all the same."

"Are you going to tell him then?"

"No, I've told Leon about the story of mermaids and humans being together, and he knows the stakes involved."

"That's not fair to the little mermaid girl."

"That's her own business, and it's the young girls in our town who should protest against the injustice."

"That makes sense. After all, Leon settled in Stardew Valley, so we can't let outsiders get away with it."

"What are you two whispering about?"

After thinking for a long time without any idea, Leon looked at Willy and Gus chatting privately with aunt smiles, and inexplicably felt a strong malice, so he couldn't help but interrupt.

"Nothing, let's talk about what to eat when we get back." Gus quickly waved his hands to explain.

"Yeah, Leon, what do you want to eat?" Willy echoed Gus' words and asked Leon.

Leon knew that the two of them were definitely not talking about this topic, but since neither of the two old men mentioned it, he had no choice but to perfunctorily say, "Whatever, I don't eat fish anyway."

"But Gus only serves fish," Willy complained. "I've reminded him more than once that the bar should include some poultry and livestock in addition to seafood, but he won't listen."

"If you want to eat that kind of meat, cook it yourself. I don't know how to cook it anyway." Gus answered without hesitation.

"Why?" Lyon actually cared about this question.

Originally, he thought that there were no meat ingredients that lived on land in Stardew Valley, but Abigail told him that there was a butcher named John in the town and that he could buy meat from him, so he was very curious why Guts didn't cook this kind of food.

"Because his ex-girlfriend is a rancher, he doesn't dare to use animals raised on ranches as cooking dishes." Gus didn't answer, and Willy revealed the reason first.

"Is Marnie your ex-girlfriend?" Leon blurted out this question subconsciously after hearing the news about the rancher's ex-girlfriend.

But Gus and Willy shook their heads wildly when they heard this, especially Gus, who explained directly: "Don't talk nonsense, my ex-girlfriend is a rancher in another place."

"That's right, you can gossip, but you can't spread rumors," Willy complained.

"So, you also know about Marnie and Lewis?" Leon asked tentatively after seeing their reactions and attitudes. "Even you, who just arrived not long ago, can see it, let alone us old residents?" Willy said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's too obvious. The key is that these two guys still think they've covered it up well." Gus also laughed and complained: "If it weren't for Lewis and Marnie's face, everyone would have urged them to get engaged a long time ago."

"So why didn't you instigate it?" Lyon asked.

"Marnie has this idea, but Lewis doesn't dare. He is afraid that other merchants in the town will have objections if he and Marnie are together. After all, Marnie is the largest rancher in the town. If she marries Lewis, then Lewis will feel that everyone will gossip." Gus explained.

Willy nodded in agreement, "The main thing is that Lewis is afraid of marriage. He feels that once he gets married, his career will be dragged down by his family. But apart from him, Pelican Town can only find a new mayor from outside. But in Pelican Town, everyone supports Lewis, so Lewis's concerns are a joke."

"Have you advised him like this?" Leon asked.

"I didn't dare. I was afraid he would be frightened and end his long-term relationship with Marnie." Gus explained helplessly.

"Lewis has to figure this out on his own," Willy added.

“I don’t understand.” Leon shook his head. He really couldn’t understand why Lewis had these concerns. It was just a marriage, not going to jail.

"We don't understand it either," Gus and Willy said at the same time.

Just when Leon was about to change the subject and continue gossiping about Gus's ex-girlfriend who was a rancher, Anya came back, and she was accompanied by another fishman girl, both of them holding a box in their hands.

"The damage on the ship was quite serious, but we still found these two boxes in the captain's cabin. They are well preserved and have not been soaked by water."

After throwing the box onto the boat, Anya took the opportunity to describe the situation when the box was found.

"Thanks, Anya, thank you for your help." Leon thanked Anya and asked Willy and Gus to help move the boxes away.

"It's okay. If there's nothing else, let's continue diving underwater." Anya shook her head, then said something to Leon, and then dived into the sea with the mermaid girl beside her.

This made Lyon feel like the other party was avoiding him, but Lyon didn't care much. He moved over and looked at the two boxes with Guswilly.

"open to take a look?"

"That's fine with me."

"Let me open it. If there is any danger inside, I can help you protect it." Leon said, and went straight to open the box.

But the box was locked and difficult to open without a key, so Leon took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife and solved the problem physically.

After both boxes were opened, Leon was stunned.

One of the boxes was filled with gold coins, while the other box only contained a logbook.

Although he liked the gold coins very much, he was more curious about the logbook.

The same is true for Willy and Gus. Although the gold coins are tempting, they have already got them and the gold coins will not run away. They are still more concerned about the contents of the logbook.

Perhaps from this logbook, we can see why Old Hans was stranded on this island which he used as his base, and whether he was killed by the giant python killed by Leon.
