Not a Witch

"Puxia Gong." The old man said the origin of the name.

Because it needs to be put into the soup and turned back and forth, and it will show a red-like color after being cooked, so it is called "Puxia Gong".

The girl became a little greedy after listening to it, picked up a slice with chopsticks and put it into the boiling soup, and after it was cooked through, took it out and put it into a bowl.

Its meat is tender and slightly spicy, which makes people love it.

【Baxia Gong】(Black Iron Grade, Excellent): The meat of the local Hanxue Gray Rabbit (Black Iron Grade) is used, cut into thin slices, marinated with seasonings, and then cooked in a pot. The taste is excellent. (Slightly improved for practice.)

It's delicious.Unknowingly, the girl ate several slices at once, and found that everyone was looking at her, so she put down her chopsticks in embarrassment.

"Hahaha, this little girl doesn't need to be detained. If she likes to eat, she can eat as much as she likes. If she doesn't have enough, let them eat. We, the Yeyu clan, have never had the habit of starving our guests." Several uncles and elder sisters looked at this lovely girl. said laughingly.

"Hmm..." There was a shy expression on the girl's face.

Afterwards, several dishes were served, and everyone moved their chopsticks to eat, and lively sounds came from various tables in the yard.

As everyone slowly turned their attention to other aspects, the girl was slightly relieved and relaxed.At this time, another dish was served.

It looks like some kind of pasta, the color is bright emerald green, like noodles cut into small pieces and placed on a plate.

[Qinghuai Lengtao] (black special grade, excellent): Use the leaves of Qinghuai leaves, mash them and knead them into noodles, cook them, and eat them with cold water. (It can expel common parasites in the abdomen, but it is easy to get cold when eating more.)

"There are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in Minze. The two guests can eat some of this, which is good for the body." A local old man said so.

"Thank you." The girl looked around for a while, only to realize that this dish was served on her own table, and it seemed that it was a special treat for guests.

Seeing the bright emerald green color, Yu Baichou was a little afraid to move his chopsticks, but the girl didn't care too much, picked up a piece and tasted it carefully.

Its taste is cool and slightly chewy, and you can feel the faint taste of Sophora japonica leaves in your mouth.

Seeing that Miss Luo ate it without any scruples, and that there was nothing wrong with other people around after eating it, Yu Baichou also tried it.

"This tastes good." He ate it with confidence, just to dilute the greasy taste of eating a few slices of fatty meat just now.

Although a few dishes were served afterwards, from the girl's observation, there was nothing special about them, they were all ordinary meals, but the taste was good.

When the banquet gradually ended, the tea used to relieve boredom was brought up for the guests to drink, and then people continued to talk.

"This time it was done very well, even the two foreign guests had a great time eating."

"Yes, yes, the last time it was so complete was when the old Liu family got married three years ago."

"It's also a good relationship between the two families this time. Everyone is willing to come and join us. In addition, it took a long time to prepare. It is said that those few rabbits were caught by old uncle Bai in the mountains one after another at the beginning of the year. They have not eaten them and have been kept at home until today. It was taken out to make a Xia offering."

"It's their family who bothered."

"However, if my son marries such a good wife, he will probably be busy both inside and outside, haha." Several people laughed again while talking.

The young girl and Yu Baichou sat at the side, listening to the discussions of these nearby guests, and slowly getting to know the customs in this mountain.

Due to the lack of communication with the outside world, the several families in the village here are very familiar with each other, and they often help each other on weekdays, and the folk customs are simple.And that bride is also a famous beauty in several nearby villages, so everyone talked a lot.

"By the way, the headgear that Xiaozao is wearing today is really pretty. When I got married, I didn't make it so delicate."

"It is said that she made it up by herself, and she is also an ingenious girl." Said the aunt beside her.

"The hanging tassels are the wind of Xiaguan; the gorgeous floral decorations are the flowers of Shangguan; the whiteness of the cap is the snow of Cangshan Mountain; the curved shape is the sea, mountains and moon."

"That's how those black-clothed witches described it in the past, and later everyone followed the pattern, paying attention to a complete romantic life." An old nun said so.She also wore a blue turban on her head, and there were two thin silver bracelets on her wrists.

After the noon feast, there were still nearby guests coming in the afternoon. After a simple congratulations and gifts, they sat down to eat, and so on until the evening, when the sky was getting darker.

The mountains in the distance showed a light purple in the evening, and occasionally a few dogs barking sounded in the village.

As the sky darkened, candle lamps were lit from house to house, and the house hosting the banquet also lit several large candles and placed them on the table.

There were a lot fewer guests at the dinner table at night, and at this time the newlyweds also walked over hand in hand.The two were still wearing colored clothes with a white background, and the clothes were embroidered with patterns in five-color silk thread, which was very beautiful.

The newlyweds first welcomed the girl and Yu Baichou, and then slowly chatted about their relationship. It was obvious that the two were also very curious.

"I come from the Tuoshi Hall in Nanfengzhou, currently a member of the fifth generation. I came to the depths of Minze to explore the ancient secrets and find some opportunities for advancement." This is not something worth hiding, Yu Bai Qiu said it outright.

"I met this lady in the deep mountains. She couldn't remember the past memories for a while, so I took her down the mountain to see if I could find some chance to recover."

Looking at the young girl in white, the two of them were amazed by the young lady's face, and had similar thoughts to Yu Baichou.This girl probably has extraordinary background, maybe she is a descendant of a fairy.

And when they heard that they had appeared in the mountains and discovered it by accident, the couple couldn't help blurting out two words.

"Mountain ghost?"

Chapter 9 Dark Mountain Night

Mountain ghosts are not wild ghosts or ghosts in the mountains, but refer to a certain female mountain god in ancient times.And because of its beautiful appearance, stunning beauty and ethereal, it is known by the world.

However, with the passage of time, this statement is no longer known and understood by the public.There are also a few remote places in the deep mountains that still retain the relics of ancient times, and they are still called this.

The newlyweds looked at the girl curiously. Although they had never seen the mountain goddess in the ancient legend, the girl's temperament was indeed [-]% similar to the legend.

Fortunately, after Bai Qiu explained for a while, the two gradually gave up their previous conjectures.

"From this point of view, this young lady may have been sleeping in the Taoyuan realm a long time ago, and only gradually woke up when the heaven and earth changed in recent years and broke the silence." The bride among them put forward her own conjecture.

"Our husband and wife also grew up in this mountain. In the past ten years or so, we haven't seen the children of your nobles come here to travel with us. I'm afraid we can't provide any useful clues." The groom on the side also shook his head slightly.

Although the two just got married, they have known each other since they were young, and they are relatively close. There are only these families in the nearby cottage villages. After living together for decades, they know each other very well. If there are strangers coming, they will basically know.

"Thank you two for your explanation. In fact, you don't have to worry too much about me." The girl shook her head slightly. After she woke up, in the past two days, she had begun to think about the past deeds one after another. Although it was only part of it, it was not like it was at the beginning. So panicked.

As long as it takes time, it will not be a problem to fully recover, but occasionally there will be a little eagerness and miss.

The newlyweds looked at the young girl under the candlelight, her pretty face revealed a bit of peace and tranquility. They really didn't want that timid and panicked look, and they secretly praised her.

"Then we don't have to worry too much about inquiring. If we are not in a hurry, we can live here for a few days. When some merchants come over, you will go out with them. It will be much safer. Otherwise, we will go alone, and the snakes and insects will be poisonous along the way. Ze, monster attacks are always uneasy."

The girl chatted briefly with Yu Baichou and nodded.

"Then I will bother you." She stood up, folded her hands in front of her body, and bowed slightly.

It is indeed a blessing to be taken in and entertained by someone who is kind when he is away from home and he is unaccompanied.

"It's okay, I'll go and see if the room is clean first. It just happened to be for the wedding, and I recently vacated a few guest rooms." After finishing speaking, the hostess opened the door and went out.

Unlike the matchmaker outside the mountain, where the parents made a marriage contract, the Yeyu family in the mountain still retains the simple tradition of free love.After the two naturally fell in love, they gradually informed their parents.Before getting married, the woman had been to the man's house several times, so she was no stranger.But now that the wedding is over, she has faintly become the new hostess.

After dark, most of the guests who came to celebrate went home, but a few uncles and cousins ​​who were very close would stay and stay with them for the night.

After waiting for a while, the hostess also re-entered the room and waved to the girl.

"The room is ready, it's next to Qionglou, come with me."

Qionglou is a local stone-stacked building, shaped like a square tower, with a small window around each floor, allowing you to see the outside.

The hostess led the way with an orange light, and then went up the wooden ladder.

"I haven't asked your name yet? My name is Baizao." She suddenly remembered something, and then turned her head. The red and white headdress on her head was still very beautiful in the light of the candlelight.

"The name seems to be Lanhill. My memory is a little fuzzy." The girl replied like this. In fact, she had already remembered her full name, which was called Lorraine Hill, but now that Luo is the emperor's surname, she couldn't say it directly.

"It's a nice name, and it has a peculiar rhythm." The bride smiled slightly. Although she was not stunning in the world, her appearance was extremely rare in the nearby cottage villages.

"We Ye Yu people don't have much contact with the outside world, and we don't have that much etiquette, so if you come to me for a few days here, please call Bai Zao."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Bai." The girl nodded obediently.

Different from the world with lights everywhere in my memory, in this ancient and mysterious world, because there are no lights, the whole world will be extraordinarily dark at night.

In the mountains and secluded forests, there is no moonlight, so it can be said that you can't see your fingers, and you can't see anything at all.Faced with such endless darkness, the mountain residents rarely go out at night. Even if they have to go into the mountain, it is usually a group of people holding torches to encourage each other.

The lantern in Bai Zao's hand swayed in the dark night, dividing the stairs and the figure into two distinct parts, the dark and the bright.And as the position of the lantern changed, some places entered into darkness, while others were illuminated, revealing parts that had never been seen before.

Sometimes the person who is close in front of you, even if you can hold her hand, once the light turns and does not shine on the face, when you look up, you can only see the faint pair of black eyes, while the whole face is invisible. I don't see you.

Such a scene often scares children, afraid of the unknown and weirdness in the dark.

However, what surprised Bai Zao a little was that even in such a dark environment, the girl still had a peaceful face and light steps without any hesitation, as if she was walking on a flat road.

Perhaps, this might really be the reincarnation of the goddess of the mountain, with an extraordinary background.Such a thought crossed her mind, and she continued to walk forward.

Since ancient times, there have been all kinds of immortals and beasts in this world, and humans and gods have mixed together. If they really meet, it is not a strange thing.

Turning around the corner of the stairs again, Bai Zao stopped with the lamp, took down the hanging door lock, pushed the door, and led Lorraine Hill behind him into this room.

After entering the room, she first lit the oil lamps and candlesticks in the house, letting the soft light fill the room, and then turned to introduce.

"This is at the west corner of the fourth floor. It's relatively quiet. Let's sleep here today."

The girl looked around briefly and looked at the room. There was a wooden bed on the side of the wall, which was covered with a blue bedding, and there were local indigo prints on it, which looked a bit rustic.

In addition, there is a red lacquered dressing table next to the wooden bed with a bronze mirror on it.

"The upper floor is the attic where sundries are piled up, and the lower floor is my sister-in-law's room. She probably will sleep late tonight because she will watch the meeting with her sisters at night."

"If you have something to do, you can come downstairs to find me in the yard. There will be people in the yard all night today." After Bai Zao confessed, she left a lantern behind and went downstairs with a wave.

After Bai Zao left, Lorraine Hill sat on the edge of the bed, carefully looking at the ceiling above his head and everything around him.

In this kind of local building, the bottom floor is generally not occupied by people, and it is used to tie up livestock or pile up fodder and firewood. People live on the second and third floors, and the top floor is generally used to store infrequently used sundries.The whole building is made of stones and looks like a tower. From the outside, it looks like mud and rocks, very simple.However, the interior is quite exquisite, and some daily utensils should not be missing.

After walking back and forth in the house for a few steps, the girl came to the window and looked out of the dark window.

Everything in the field of vision is almost completely dark, the hills and the world in the distance can only be seen as extremely faint curves in the starlight above the head, and the world in the mountains is a darkness that sucks everything in, making people feel a sense of darkness unknowingly. kind of fear.

The mountains at night are still so scary.The girl whispered, recalling the images that appeared in her mind, it seemed that she was like this when she was a child, standing in front of the window looking at the dark mountains, and sometimes having nightmares in fear.

Finally, I remembered something. In my previous life, I had the experience of living in the deep mountains when I was a child.

In this way, is this her third life? She closed the window and sat back beside the bed. Looking at the warm and flickering candle, she lamented the evanescence and change of time.

Chapter 10 The Green Spider Art

After a peaceful night's sleep, with the dawn of the next day, Lorraine Hill also woke up in his sleep.

In that real dream, she seemed to be living in a forest, it was a flaming maple forest, and occasionally she would sit in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

It's a pity that this world seems to be different, there is no moon, and the night is extremely dark.

I heard from Uncle Baiqiu that there used to be a moon, but it was a pity that the moon shattered in the catastrophe a few years ago.

Woo, it's really sad, why does the moon shatter, it's so beautiful.

The girl shook her head, not thinking about it for the time being, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to straighten her hair and clothes, only then could she clearly see her whole body.

Seems to be exactly the same as before?Lorraine Hill secretly sighed in his heart, but felt that something was wrong.
