She Is Not a Witch

Vol 4 Chapter 5: separate for the time being

"Morning, Sister Lolan." Ye Ling, who was lying on the bed on his side, rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't had enough sleep yet.

"Chirp."

A chubby bird crawled out from the lower part of the quilt. As soon as it came out, it flapped its wings and threw itself into Lorraine Hill's arms, which took the girl a while to hug.

Listening to Dai Ju's non-stop tweets, Lorraine Hill knew that this guy was wronged, and complained bitterly about Ye Ling's abuse of it, such as grabbing it as a pillow and preventing it from going out to find delicious food. The heat from sleeping almost roasted it into fat chicken and so on.

"Okay, okay, let's sleep in my room today." Lorraine Hill comforted the chubby Dai Ju in his arms with a smile, and it calmed down after a while.

"Dai Ju filed a complaint again." Ye Ling sat on the bed with her hands on her knees, her hair hanging down her shoulders and her back was a bit messy, and there were some traces of being bent.

"Come on, get up and comb your hair."

Lorraine Hill pulled Yeling, who still wanted to sleep, to the dressing table, then stood behind her and combed carefully, and then separated a few thin strands with her hands, and slowly weaved them to form flat and beautiful sides ponytail.

At first, Yeling still had his eyes open, but soon his head was like fishing, heaving up and down, waking up and sleeping, his eyes hazy.

"After combing, let's go eat something first, and come back to sleep later." Lorraine Hill supported the night spirit with his hands, and let the little guy stand up.

"Woo..." Ye Ling became a little more awake now, grabbed Lorraine Hill's arm, and walked out like sleepwalking.

Looking at the little dragon girl beside her who was about to fall asleep at any time, Lorraine Hill thought about whether to hug her directly, which would be more convenient.

But for now, let's try to lead.

The two first came to the lobby, and Lorraine Hill asked Ye Ling to sit on a sofa in a corner, and asked Dai Ju to squat on her lap to look after her, then turned around and went to the second floor to find the room where Wei Lengyan was.

After waking up the companion, Lorraine Hill took her downstairs, and then woke up the sleeping Night Spirit again, and then went out.

"Are there any delicious restaurants or restaurants around here?" Lorraine Hill asked Wei Lengyan who was on the side. This person came earlier than her and stayed for a long time, so he should know better.

"We've been to one before, and I think the taste is very good, just..." She paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"It's just that the grade may not be too high." This man stroked the hair on the side of his ear with some embarrassment.

In her opinion, for such a big shot, going there seems to be a bit of a low status.

"Where is it, can you tell me first?"

"It's a seafood restaurant on the east bank of the harbour."

"Seafood, it seems to be good." Lorraine Hill actually seldom eats seafood, and occasionally wants to try something new.

"Why do you think seafood is not high-end." Walking on the road, Lorraine Hill asked the person next to him.

"This is probably because many people are not used to the fishy smell of seafood." Wei Lengyan explained.

"The nobles of the dynasty paid great attention to the smell, and most people are not used to the fishy smell of seafood. Even if some methods can be suppressed, they need to use strong ingredients. Some people who are used to light tastes can't stand it."

In the Plantagenet Dynasty, it was extremely impolite, even contemptuous, and disgusting to meet guests with a peculiar smell on their body. Therefore, most high-ranking officials or nobles would deliberately avoid things that were prone to smell. Onions and garlic are prone to bad breath, and nobles will refuse to eat them on formal occasions. It is only served at some relaxed family dinner, or when young people get together and don't care about it.

"Actually, freshly harvested seafood doesn't have too much fishy smell, and it will develop a bad smell after a period of time."

"The restaurant I'm talking about is right by the sea, and their ingredients are extraordinarily fresh, which would be much better, so I tried to recommend it to adults."

"I see." Lorraine Hill nodded thoughtfully.

She recalled what she had learned before. It seemed that in order to resist the high osmotic pressure of seawater, fish in the sea would produce special substances, and this was also the source of most of the fresh and fishy smells of sea fish.

Nowadays, the refrigeration technology in the world is not developed, and it is normal for nobles living inland to dislike smelly sea fish.

After leading Ye Ling and Wei Lengyan to the restaurant by the sea, the three of them were taken directly to the fourth floor. It was still early and there were not many customers, so it looked very spacious.

Sitting at a table by the side, the open floor allows the sea breeze to pass through the hall, and a refreshing feeling also comes from the skin.

Because there is a distance from the busy pier, it is not noisy here, and the large and small lights on the coast also embellish the night scene, making it not monotonous, but a bit dimly lit.

After sitting down, Lorraine Hill asked Wei Lengyan to order, and he put Yeling on the side of the table, so that he didn't have to hang it on his shoulder all the time.

Having said that, I felt that the night spirit was a little heavier than before. Lorraine poked the soft face with his fingers, and after a while, he put down his hand and looked at the night scene outside the window.

After sitting and chatting for a while, the clerk of the restaurant quickly brought up the prepared dishes one by one. Looking at the delicate appearance of the dishes, one can't help feeling pleasing to the eye.

Among them are light red and thin sashimi with perilla, boiled sea cucumber with papaya kidney beans, braised abalone, charcoal grilled eel, swimming crab with green onion, etc.

Sure enough, it's a good choice to taste fresh delicacies once in a while, even Lorraine Hill, seeing this table of delicacies, became happy.

"There seems to be something delicious." She was still dozing off before, but after Ye Ling smelled the fragrance, the little dragon girl suddenly became refreshed and looked at the delicious food on the table with excitement.

"Then I'll eat first." Unable to bear it, she stretched out her hand and grabbed a crab's leg, lifted it up and placed it in front of her plate, and began to nibble happily.

Lorraine Hill and Wei Lengyan also started, but these two are much more refined.

The three of them ate and ate while the comfortable night breeze blew. At the end, the speed gradually slowed down, and then the topic of the few people also slowly turned to Wei Lengyan's past.

"I remember that Shuizhuzhou is very prosperous, why do you work so far away from home, and you are still a girl." There is no culture of going out to work in the Plantagenet Dynasty, and most of them will not be too far away from home.

"Because of insect plagues and famine." Wei Lengyan talked about what happened more than ten years ago.

"Shuizhuzhou was indeed very prosperous in the past. Not only were there vermilion dyes, red paper, and red cloth, but there was also a unique style of painting called "Dianzhu" in the local area, and there were many famous painters."

"It's just that ten years ago, that is, when I was young, a very special kind of bug appeared in the mines in Zhouli."

"This kind of bug seems to feed on cinnabar gravel. After being dug out from the mine, it was so densely packed that it was scary. Although everyone was a little surprised at the time, they didn't pay much attention to it."

"But soon, this kind of bugs emerged in various places in Zhou County, and then they were not only limited to mines, but also burrowed into every household, especially in food."

"Many granaries have been destroyed by insect plagues, and many rice jars in ordinary households have been eaten by insects."

"Ordinary tanks, stones, and walls can't stop them at all. They can gnaw rocks, so they can naturally gnaw them. After entering the rice warehouse, these insects multiply in large numbers, and the various dirty things produced are also poisonous. Even It was later discovered that the food was also wasted.”

"In this way, the famine spread rapidly and spread to the entire Zhou County."

"Then how did you solve it later?" Lorraine Hill asked curiously.

"After the local officials reported the situation, the dynasty first dispatched the members of the clothes cleaning workshop under Dong's lawsuit, and then the two surrounding doormen also participated in the assistance."

"The Scorching Sun Xiangyu Sect in Huiluzhou dispatched about 5,000 fire-breathing masters to burn all the insects on the ground. At that time, the entire Zhou County was almost turned into a sea of ​​flames. There were figures lighting fires everywhere and people wearing red and yellow robes. fire-breather."

"Then Wanziqianhonggu also developed a special insecticidal powder after a period of time, and sprinkled it all over Zhou County, and only then did the insect plague be eliminated."

"Although the pest plague is over, Shuizhuzhou has become a ruin. Many people have to leave their homes and go to other places to make a living. I followed my elder brother to Nanfengzhou like this."

Listening to Wei Lengyan's narration, in which there was something about the Xiangyu faction, Lorraine Hill was a little more curious, and continued to ask some things.

Fire breather, she had heard of this profession in the Xiangyu faction before, but she didn't expect there to be so many, and it was also dispatched and controlled by the faction.

Speaking of it, although the fire-breathing master is an extraordinary person, he is not a very high-ranking existence. His status is similar to that of a butcher in the village. He usually does not see people, and he is only invited to come when needed.

They usually only have Sequence 1-3, are good at all kinds of fire spells, and can also use gunpowder and the like. They are generally used to drive away wild beasts in the mountains, small monsters and monsters, and occasionally also part-time to exorcise ghosts and dispel evil spirits. In many funerals in villages and small towns, fire-breathers will appear. They will be responsible for writing the eulogy, then hanging it up for burning, and finally cremating the body, canning and placing it.

"Then didn't you think about going back? How is Shui Zhuzhou now?"

"At first it didn't, because the fire was very thorough. At that time, the river was intercepted, and then the riverbed and stream were burned dry. There were cracked and hard soil everywhere on the ground. People and crops could not survive at all."

"Later, it probably got better slowly. I went back three years ago to visit relatives in my hometown. At that time, sporadic villages and towns had reappeared."

"Many people no longer call it Shui Zhuzhou, but call it 'Dry Zhuzhou', because there is no water at all." Wei Lengyan slowly put down his chopsticks as he spoke, and he was already full.

"The country of parched flames." Lorraine Hill sighed with emotion and said nothing more.

In the ancient times before the establishment of the Plantagenet Dynasty, Huilu Island, Suiyan Mountains, Yanyu Island, and several surrounding counties were the territory of the Land of Fire. Because of the perennial dryness and fire, the population of these places Not much, and relatively poor.

It wasn't until the birth of the phoenix, which adjusted the mountains and rivers and greatly changed the environment, that these places gradually prospered. It's just that time has passed, and now not many people remember this ancient past.

When the three of them were about to finish their dinner and leave, a cry of surprise sounded in the restaurant.

"Is this...Xiao Ling?"

A very strong man walked up to this floor of the restaurant, followed by a dozen or so black-clothed swordsmen, who seemed to be quite powerful.

"Hey, are you calling me?"

Ye Ling raised his head and looked at the big man with doubts on his face. It seemed that it took a long time before he said, "Are you Fifth Brother?"

"Of course it's me. It took you so long to recognize him." He strode over, his tall body seemed to carry a gust of hot wind, and one couldn't help but feel the surging strength under those thick muscles.

This is the feeling of overflowing magic power. It seems that Sequence 6 should be complete. Lorraine Hill also looked at the bronze man who walked in, and it seemed a bit familiar.

"I'm your fifth brother, Ye Nanke."

"Ah, yes, yes, I understand." Ye Ling nodded fiercely, then raised his hand to stop the strong man who was about to pat his head.

"You've become so thick and dark, it's normal that I can't recognize you." Ye Ling suddenly climbed onto the chair and stood up, so that he didn't have to look up at the 'fifth brother'.

It turned out to be him, Lorraine Hill recalled the scene when they met in school. At that time, Nan Ke was a member of the "Fire Fist and Wine" club with a bald head. Hill, Yeling and the others saw that the other party also supported their association with a batch of wood, which was used to make the furniture of the association.

"Xiao Ling finally came back. You told Ye Zhen that you would come back after visiting the Western Continent for a few years, but you have been there for more than ten years. Later, the mansion sent someone to the Western Continent to look for you, but they never found out about you. I thought you were missing, and many people were sad."

"Well, this, I forgot to sleep." Ye Ling came a little embarrassed.

"Your blood has awakened, and lethargy is normal. That's what my uncles said at the time. After all, you are hibernating or sleeping most of the time at home. Let them not worry. It's just that I haven't heard from you for a long time, and it will still be very painful. concern."

He talked for a long time, and then asked Yeling how he was doing recently, and it took him a while to slow down.

Feeling the brother's fiery love and care, Ye Ling was a little shy, and muttered about things over the years, such as what he had seen and heard in the Western Continent, where he went to play, what friends he made, and so on.

Although she slept in the mountains of Tisilan for a long time, it was not always like this. She also went to live with Bu Mansha for a while on the way, and occasionally she would play with Eloi who was about her age. Hammer's loli is also a powerful genius who can turn into a giant dragon. The two have teamed up to bully many monsters in the Tixilan Mountains. In front of Xingliu, who is also a genius of the Dragon Sequence, the two will be much quieter and more honest. .

"That's great. I thought you were squatting at home every day and going to bed when you were full." In a sense, it was also the truth.

"Ahem, how could it be?" Ye Ling shook his head vigorously, and the beige twin ponytails on both sides also swayed.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, who are these two?" At this moment, he turned his gaze to Lorraine Hill and Wei Lengyan.

"This is Sister Lorraine, can't you recognize it?" Yeling jumped off the chair, came to Lorraine Hill, and grabbed her arms and sleeves.

"Lorraine..." Hearing the name, he seemed to think of something more.

"Hello, you are Yeling's cousin, Nanke, right?" Lorraine Hill saw him thinking, and interrupted hastily. If this really reminded him of other identities, it would not be a coincidence to expose him here. Good thing.

"Ah, yes, yes. I remembered. In Emenas, you were the girl who was with Ye Ling. I didn't expect that you are still as good-looking as before." What is good-looking, it has not changed at all, he I thought about it in my heart, but I couldn't ask the reason for a while. Maybe girls have various ways to maintain their appearance, and he doesn't know much about them.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to remember it. Many years have passed." Lorraine Hill sighed lightly, and then talked with Ye Nanke about these years.

It turned out that after returning to the Eastern Continent, Ye Nanke began to take over some family affairs. First, he met some friends and nobles in Luojing, and then began to take his family's caravan and personnel to the south to operate. Now it is also a big business. After finishing it, he was about to return home, but he didn't expect to meet Yeling in this restaurant.

After settling down the swordsmen under his command for a meal, Ye Nanke sat at the table of Lorraine Hill, added a lot of dishes, and talked while drinking.

It was late at night and when he was about to leave, Ye Nanke looked at Ye Ling.

"When is Xiao Ling planning to go back? The family misses you very much, especially Grandma Seven, who misses you the most."

"Well, are you going back now?" Ye Ling hesitated a bit, and finally raised his gaze to Lorraine Hill, wanting to ask for her advice.

"Why don't you go back and have a look first, I'll go to Luojing to find you after I've dealt with Nanfengzhou's affairs." Lorraine Hill looked at Ye Ling, a girl who was just like her younger sister.

"Well, Sister Luolan said so." Ye Ling thought that it was time to go back, after all, he had been away from home for a long time.

"Then sister Luolan must come to Luojing to find me, otherwise Ye Ling will be very boring." Before she left, she thought about coming out to play next time.

"Okay ~www.readwn.com~ I will go, I won't forget the night spirit, do you want to pull the hook." Lorraine Hill smiled and looked at the little guy in front of him.

"Forget it if you pull the hook, I'm not a child anymore." Although, Ye Ling still has this little self-esteem.

After drinking and eating, the group walked down the restaurant and walked along the beach by the sea, listening to the sound of the incoming tide, like a pleasant and gentle movement.

"See you later, Luo Jing, tt/~" Although Ye Ling had a sad expression, but others really wanted to laugh when they saw it.

"The carp cake for the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival, I will leave it for Sister Luolan~~ Daiju also has some." Ye Ling waved his hand to let Lorraine Hill see, and then the few people gradually separated.

In other words, the next Autumn Moon Lantern Festival is indeed coming soon, but this year, she may not be able to catch up, but next year, she should be able to arrive in Luojing.

"Jiujiu~"
