Not a Witch

There is a quiet river valley in front of you. The maple trees on both sides block the scorching sun in the sky, making it a little shady. The fallen leaves are all over the hillsides and stones on both sides, and a small river several meters wide flows through the middle.

The river water is very clear, and you can see the many cobblestones below. A few black fish sometimes swim and sometimes stay still in the river water, making it hard to find.

As a chrysanthemum bird, it didn't eat fish before, and catching fish is still too difficult for a small bird like it, which is generally only possible for large birds like eagles and falcons.

But, just like extraordinary humans, extraordinary animals can always do things that they couldn't do before, and now it is very easy for them to catch fish.

Standing on the tree branch, Dai Ju moved her feet, found a more comfortable spot, and then squatted down again, looking at the night spirit below.It is not hungry yet and does not want to catch fish.

Watching the little dragon lady come to sit on the stone by the river, first check the temperature of the water with her hands, then take off her shoes, put her feet in, splashing water in the river, Dai Ju felt that human beings are really strange, obviously this It can only become a super powerful fire dragon, but now it is afraid of this little water flow. At first, it wondered if Yeling would turn into a giant dragon and drink up the river with water and fish.

Although she looked very small, Dai Ju didn't dare to underestimate this off-white dragon girl with double ponytails. She had been grabbed by the opponent's feet and wings several times before, and there was an irresistible force under her small arms. Power, let it truly experience the power of the dragon.

But the big chicken drumsticks she gave were delicious, and she was a good person.

Seeing the night spirit below, after playing in the water for a while, it was about to go down to the river to catch fish, but it fell down. Dai Ju smacked his lips, feeling unbelievable, and then he became a little bored, as if he had booked a wonderful blockbuster, and finally I only saw the male and female protagonists living ordinary lives, without the expected intense sparks.

Forget it, let's go to other places to have a look. Speaking of which, it suddenly wants to take a bath.

Thinking of the last time he took a bath or the last time, when Lorraine Hill rubbed it and the raven in the basin in the Red Cranberry Palace, that feeling was really strange.

Dai Ju spread her wings, jumped down softly and silently, and after gliding for a while, she came to a section upstream of the river valley, where the Ye Ling couldn't see her, and she wouldn't interfere with her bathing.

After coming to the river, Dai Ju fell on a stone and looked at the river flowing below, then jumped a few steps again, walked to the pebble shoal, and felt the slightly cooler river water.

Seeming to be fine, it took a few steps forward again, half of its body buried in the water.

Feel the cool river water flowing through the feathers, taking away the heat, and a refreshing sobriety comes immediately.

The wings fluttered, the body shook, and all kinds of water splashed. After washing the lower body, Dai Ju turned her body sideways again, letting the water wash over her back again. Wings fly.

Because the wings are relatively wet, it is not very easy to fly, so Dai Ju decided to take a nap on the branch of a tree, and let the feathers dry by the way.

In the forest in summer, cicadas sing from a distance from time to time, and occasionally the wind blows through the forest, making the tender green leaves shake gently.

A light-yellow tiger crouched among the low bushes, looking at the little bird with bright-yellow feathers hundreds of meters away from the gaps in the leaves.

This is the first time it has seen such a powerful monster in this forest. Although it looks like a fat bird on the outside, the magic power flowing slowly and overflowing from its body is undeniable, exuding a fiery feeling .

Where did this guy come from? I have never seen it before. The tiger squatted in the bushes wondering.

Except for a few swimming fish and insects, there are basically no other animals in this forest. It seems that there is a special existence that isolates other animals from entering.

And the reason why it was able to find this place was because it met a special human being a long time ago. She helped her pull out her bone spurs. Later, she became acquainted with her and was brought here to drink water and play, so that she could come in. .

Although the human girl did not reappear for many years later, this place became its home.

It is rare to have a clean water source, and no other animals or monsters have come to seize it. It is really a beautiful place.Occasionally it even swims down the river to catch fish for a snack.

Although its own talent and pedigree are mediocre, relying on this place with rich mana, it slowly rises to the natural sequence 5o Lin Xi Jinhu, and it can be regarded as a small overlord of the surrounding forest.

After observing the fat bird in the grass for a while, the tiger decided to be more cautious. After all, the bird looked not weak and could fly in a fight, so he decided not to provoke it.It's a pity that there are other monsters here, thinking that the place to play in the water will be shared with other monsters in the future, it is a little unhappy.

Slowly, its wide paw retreated between the gravel and dead branches, and then trotted outside, ready to find today's food.

I remember that the plum trees in the west are almost ripe, how about eating a few fruits today?As a specially evolved tiger, it has the ability to be a vegetarian, which is also a valuable skill it needs to survive.

Dregs~

Seeing that the Sequence 5 tiger in the distance didn't attack the silly bird, the dark crow hidden among the branches in the forest clicked its lips and croaked in disdain.

Let this stupid bird escape again.

But forget it, I don't bother to care about this meeting. According to Lorraine Hill's personality, if it runs over to kill the tiger at this time, it may make her unhappy. After all, the owner is very kind, unless Others get in trouble.

The dark crow spread its wings again, skimmed through the woods in the river valley after watching the play, kicked Dai Ju off the branch after taking a nap.

Scum~ (Wake up, stupid bird)

Jiujiu~ (Why are you here)

Dai Ju flipped and flapped her wings in the air, stabilized her body and flew up, looking at this good brother curiously, wasn't it sleeping before.

Slag~ (Lorraine asked me to call you, the meal is almost ready)

It turned out that after Lorraine Hill woke up, he found that Ye Ling and Dai Ju were gone, and he asked Dark Crow to find out that they had gone out to play.After knowing it, let it call the two of them back for dinner.

After hearing that dinner was about to be served, Dai Ju didn't care about the crow's rude way of waking up just now, and chirped a few times happily, and then flew to the valley where the night spirit was with the black and blue bird.

At this time, Ye Ling had already taken off his shoes, stood in the water, concentrated on looking at the black fish not far away, and then suddenly rushed over, trying to catch it.

It's a pity that as soon as he caught the black-scaled river fish, the other party struggled violently, splashing a lot of water, which made Ye Ling's eyes open for a while, and taking advantage of this short gap, the black fish slipped out of Ye Ling's hands slipperily, Fleeing back into the river, fled to the distance.

"Don't run, I won't be polite if you run again." Ye Ling shouted angrily, regardless of whether the fish could hear it or not.

She restrained her strength just now and did not use extraordinary means. If she had used more force, this black fish would have been crushed by her long ago.

pop-

After slapping in the river a few times, Ye Ling had the urge to turn into a dragon and burn the river dry to bring this black fish to justice, but thinking that this would destroy this beautiful river valley, she had to give up this idea discouraged .

"Hmph, next time you must get a fishing rod and bait, I don't believe you won't take the bait." Saying this, the little dragon lady returned to the shore angrily, ready to dry her wet clothes.

chirp~

Two birds, one yellow and one black, flapped their wings and flew over, landed in front of Ye Ling, and uttered a crisp cry. Then Dai Ju raised one wing, pointed in the direction of Lorraine Hill's cabin, and flapped it from time to time.

"Oh, I probably know what you mean." Ye Ling looked at Dai Ju's movements and easily guessed that it was Lorraine who was calling her.

"Well, it's really late, and I'm a little hungry."

After rubbing his stomach, feeling a little empty, Yeling spread out a pair of small dragon wings, jumped up from the valley, and then flew towards the direction it came from.

Along the way, one person and two birds were chirping, and it was very lively. When he returned to the Maple Leaf Garden, Yeling saw Lorraine Hill cooking in a small pot on the open space next to the house.

Between the tripods, bright yellow flames burned among the firewood, and the pottery casserole above made a boiling sound, and hot white gas came out from the uncovered lid, and the fragrance of pork ribs and lotus root wafted away.

Lorraine Hill, who was sitting on a small stool beside him, had a thick book on his lap in front of him. Taking advantage of the spare time of cooking meat, he wrote down some small things to do in the last two days with a pen.

Lunch is ready, Yeling and the others will be back soon.

The wind blows from time to time, and she lifts her messy hair from time to time, until the sound of chirping comes running ahead.

"Lorraine~ we're back."

Write some easy daily transitions, think about the plot of the Empire Chapter 00~

Volume Chapter 71 Reunion with Princess Mononoke

After the night spirit and the two little birds arrived, Lorraine Hill packed up the books and got up to have lunch together.

Sitting around the two of them, the small stove was steaming, and the pieces of meat, potatoes, and vegetables inside were constantly tumbling, giving off a pleasant smell.This time, Lorraine Hill also prepared small wooden bowls for the two birds, put them aside, and served them some.

Sitting under the shade of the green trees, the high-pitched chirping of cicadas can be heard from the trees from time to time, and the happy lunch begins.

"Delicious~" Yeling took the chopsticks out of the pot from time to time to pick out his favorite dishes, and continued to praise him as always.

Seeing the traces of water on Yeling's body, Lorraine Hill asked curiously, "Did you go to the river to play?"

"Yes, that small river is quite clear, and it's good to soak in the water."

"But it would be nice to have a fishing rod. It's better to sit there and fish."

"There's one behind the fishing rod hut, but you have to see if it's still usable. It's been a long time since the last time I fished." Lorraine Hill recalled the scene where she was sitting by the river and patiently teaching Kitty to fish. It's a pity Kitty is not very interested in fishing, and always falls asleep in a daze while sitting.

In her own words, "Can't you just fish out the fish? It's so anxious to wait for fishing."

If it hadn't been for Lorraine Hill's obstruction, the flame witch would have steamed the creek dry, and the fish would have to be boiled anyway.

The two ate and occasionally talked about things in the forest.

"Out of this maple forest, if you go all the way to the south, you can see the village of the Rabbit Ear Tribe, um... Maybe it should be called a city now."

"If there is something missing, you can go there to buy it, but before that, I usually do it myself."

"Is Lorraine also making the furniture?"

"Yes, it took a lot of time at that time. I was very unskilled at first, and I wasted some wood, and then I slowly found the trick." Recalling the awkward appearance at the beginning, Lorraine Hill couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although I encountered a lot of problems, but fortunately, it was also very interesting. I lived an idyllic life in this forest for a while.

After lunch, the two simply packed up and prepared to visit Yishe Green.

"Let's bring some gifts." Thinking that it had been a long time since we met, and that Yi Xue had helped him a lot before, Lorraine Hill didn't want to run over empty-handed.

But what should I bring? This ice elf princess is a ghost, and she doesn't seem to lack daily necessities.

Lorraine Hill was thinking, and suddenly remembered the fruit that another elf princess, Aitesi, asked her to cultivate.

Just make something with this fruit.

After returning to the house, the girl found the earthenware pot where she used to boil sugar, poured the stored maple syrup into it, and then turned on a low heat to start boiling.

Slowly, a sweet fragrance began to waft in the air, which also attracted Ye Ling. She watched Lorraine's serious production, so she didn't want to disturb her, so she just stood aside and watched quietly and curiously.

Seeing that the maple syrup in the pot became viscous, the girl began to add the fruit juice of Moss Red Kou, mixed with a little powder of Youguanghua, and then combined with the medicine formula improved in the East before, adding various auxiliary materials, slowly The reconciliation, let it fully respond.

The liquid in the pot began to change color, first from orange to dark purple, then turned into a flowing liquid, and then slowly evaporated to dry up the excess water, and then gradually turned into purple red, and the purple red continued to fade, turning into deep red, until It ended up being a blood orange.

"It's still a bit deep, but that's the only way to go. If it continues, the effect of the medicine will change." Lorraine Hill analyzed.

Then she extinguished the flame, took out a prepared wooden mold, sprinkled some flour, poured sugar liquid into the small lattice, and then covered it.

Looking at the small crescent-shaped lattice mold, Ye Ling asked curiously, "Is this making candy?"

"Yes, but it's a bit different from what I remember." Lorraine Hill actually wanted to make orange petal candy, but unfortunately the color seems to be a bit darker, it's the reddish feeling of amber, not that of orange kinds of colors.

After all, a lot of other materials have been added, and it is still too difficult to maintain the original color.

After the Tang leaves were almost cooled, Lorraine Hill opened the lid, poured out the semi-solidified sugar cubes, and sprinkled some flour to prevent sticking hands, so that he put the red-orange orange petal candies into the jar set up.

That's it!

Looking at the soft and elastic orange petal candy in his hand, Lorraine Hill tasted one first. It has a mellow fruity aroma, but it is not too greasy. pieces.

"I want it too." Seeing that Lorraine didn't give himself one first, Ye Ling immediately stretched out his hand coquettishly.

"Okay, here." The girl grabbed 6 pieces of orange petal candy and put them in Ye Ling's small palm.At this time, the candy has not completely cooled down, but is still slightly warm.
