She Is Not a Witch

Vol 4 Chapter 7: flow east

As soon as he walked into this tailor-made clothing workshop, Lorraine Hill felt a cool and refreshing feeling. When he looked up, he saw two bronze crane birds hanging on the wall, slowly exhaling cold smoke from their mouths, looking at the inlaid The bronze body inside the wall should have pipes or devices connected to the outside for ventilation and cooling.

Although electrical appliances have not been popularized in this era, some extraordinary creations can still achieve similar effects, but because of the cost and maintenance, ordinary people can't afford it.

The hall is very spacious, with a high ceiling. Paper umbrellas of different sizes are hung upside down. Landscapes, flowers, and some poems are painted on the bottom of the blue fan, embellishing the indoor environment. , full of artistic conception.

Rows of screens and hangers are neatly placed in the hall below. The clothes here are all made of blue fabrics, and the eyes are full of shallow blue water, like walking in the world of blue waves and quiet lakes.

Although the material of the cloth is the same, the style and style are not monotonous. There are not only the skirts, jackets, curved skirts, straight skirts, and half-arms worn by women, but also the cloaks and straight skirts worn by men. The colors are similar, you need to walk in to distinguish them.

"Are the two ladies here to shop for clothes?" A lady in her thirties stepped forward. She was wearing a dress of moon white and blue sky and water, and she looked a little gentle.

"Yes, I've heard about the Bixia Tsingyi Square in Linjie Mansion for a long time, so I came to see it specially this time." Wei Lengyan stood up and spoke.

"It's a great honor, you two, should you take a look first, or introduce it to the two of you later." Her voice was soft, making people feel comfortable.

"Then trouble you to introduce it to us." Because it was the first time for Lorraine Hill to choose, he still wanted to hear this introduction or recommendation.

"Then invite the two of you to follow me."

Afterwards, the woman in the store led the two of them into the green world of clothes.

Along the way, this lady introduced the current popular styles in detail, as well as the advantages and suitable scenes of various styles. On the way, Lorraine Hill occasionally saw other women who also came to choose clothes. With such a clerk to introduce and lead the way.

It can be seen that most of the clerks selected by this store are women in their thirties. They are not as lively as young girls, but they are also stable and reassuring. They can calmly face many scenes. Immerse yourself in the words of its explanations and recommendations.

Sure enough, this clothes shop, Lorraine Hill thought.

Although there was no obvious appearance, the girl could still feel that there were actually several mid-level transcendents sitting in the store. They were all on the second floor, watching the customers below through the curtain to prevent sudden damage or theft.

Such security measures are already very high, and there is even a Sequence 5 master among them. Judging from the aura, it should be a practitioner of Xuanshui, which is what the West calls Ocean Sequence.

After roughly walking around, Lorraine Hill finally chose a double-breasted dress, the main body of which is a light blue color of sky water green, while the placket and inner skirt are white, making it look unremarkable. Thin and monotonous, it has a layered beauty, and the embroidery of the white bird on the dress also fills in the blanks just right, making it a bit more gorgeous. The inner lining is slightly narrowed to show the curve of the figure, while the outer layer is looser. The swaying is gentle, to show the elegant dress, which is very exquisite.

"This young lady really has a good eye. This one is really suitable." The woman said congratulatory words, although there was a bit of business, but it was not against her will. Allure.

"This dress, about 12 gold dishes." When I came to the counter to pay, another clerk checked the style and said the price.

"It's so expensive." Wei Lengyan whispered softly, with some surprise in his eyes.

"The customer actually has a good eye. This dress is also the best masterpiece in our workshop. There are only a few pieces produced in a year, so the price will be higher." The clerk at the side explained patiently.

"There are other cheap ones too, but they may not match Miss's dusty temperament."

"Okay, that's it." Lorraine Hill shook his head with a smile, and stopped listening to these compliments.

It's really expensive, but it's not that I can't afford it, I just feel that this store will do business.

After paying, Wei Lengyan carefully wrapped the dress, put it in a special wooden box, held it in his hand, and walked out of the shop.

After leaving this clothing workshop, the girl found that this was the most expensive piece of clothing she had ever bought. Although there were some custom-made clothes for her before, most of them were from the chamber of commerce and did not cost money, so they were not too big. I feel that after entering the Xiangyu school, there are several sets of matching dresses distributed by the Guangmen school, and I don't need to go out to buy them myself, so I don't feel much.

Making clothes is actually very profitable, no matter in the past or now.

Although Tianshuibi's fabric is expensive, it is ultimately a fabric without supernatural effects. This piece of clothing can't use a gold dish even if it's waste, but after it's finished, it's more than ten times more than that, and it can be compared with some silver-level supernatural creations. up.

If he hadn't joined the Xiangyu School at that time, he might have made clothes to make money. Thinking of how he used to spin and weave, Lorraine Hill felt nostalgic for a while.

After continuing to stroll around the street, the two returned to their residence, bringing back some snacks and food for the other people in Tuoshitang.

"Thank you, Miss Jialan." Several burly men who had just woken up gratefully accepted it, and immediately started to eat. They were also hungry. They had always had a bad appetite on the boat. After all, the food on the boat was really not delicious, but They have long been tired of eating seafood.

After a good night's rest, the group set off again at noon the next day.

They first took a horse-drawn carriage to the river, then took a passenger boat on the river, and then went upstream to Qingzhou Island.

There are not many passengers on the passenger ship, which is divided into two floors, and the second floor can enjoy the river view.

"Follow this Lidai River for another two days, and you will reach the boundary of Qingzhou Island." Wei Lengyan introduced to Lorraine Hill.

The Lidai River is about 100 meters wide. It is a large river that flows through the four continents. The riverside is full of green aquatic plants. Lorraine Hill even saw patches of reeds, and occasionally there are some lotus and lotus leaves in the water. A gentle bay.

As the sun goes down, sporadic fishermen are still rowing boats and casting nets on the river, and the boundless fishermen's songs echo on the river, making people sigh that all the ups and downs in the world are in vain.

——

After turning the long waterway and spending two days, the group finally disembarked at a pier and set foot ashore again.

"A hundred miles further to the east, we will be able to return to the sub-helm where we are."

Not long after stepping off the pier, a burst of shouting came from the side.

"Hey, it's Brother Blood Mo~"

A few people looked back and saw a man dressed in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat approaching. He was dark-skinned and carried something like a paddle behind him. There were many wrinkles and scratches on his face. He looked about fifty years old.

"It turned out to be Lao Zhou, and you are on duty today." Xue Mo turned around and started talking with him, while Lorraine Hill watched curiously from behind.

This old Zhou should also be a member of the Tuoshi Hall, but he belongs to the main hall of Qingyizhou. It seems that he is here on duty today.

"Come on, let's go over there for a meeting. I see that you just got off the boat, and it's getting dark now. It's not too late to have a meal before leaving."

"That...well, I'll trouble Old Zhou."

"Hey, we are all from the same family, why be so polite." Lao Zhou shook his head, and led people to a restaurant on the side, and ordered five roast ducks on the way.

"Send it to the third floor of Tingfeng Building, and I will have a drink there."

"Okay, Uncle Zhou." The waiter at the roast duck restaurant responded enthusiastically, it seems that this person did not visit once or twice.

A group of people walked up to the restaurant and sat down, only then did Xue Mo introduce the identity of Lorraine Hill.

"Thanks to Miss Jialan this time, otherwise our mission would be difficult."

"I'm sorry, it turned out that this young lady made the move. I'm very grateful. If you can help me in the future, you can call me." This person also clasped his fists in thanks, which made Lorraine Hill a little flattered.

"It's nothing, in fact, I'm also repaying the kindness of the year." Afterwards, Lorraine Hill talked about Yu Baiqiu.

"Yu Baiqiu, I haven't heard of this one, but there is a hall master with the same surname Yu, who may be the person the lady is looking for."

"Miss Jialan doesn't know something. When we travel abroad, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of villains. Sometimes we are afraid of hurting our family members, so we usually don't tell our real names, especially after we become famous."

"The one you mentioned is located in Baiqiu, and it may have changed its name, so it's hard to find."

"But don't worry, since you said that you want to find someone, our Tuoshitang will never hesitate to send someone to inquire about all the surrounding states and counties. If you can't find them, we will send someone to the main hall to inquire and visit." , will never disappoint you.”

Although his face was full of weather and he was dressed in street clothes, this old Zhou spoke with certainty, without any sloppiness or hesitation, which made people feel moved.

"This is really troublesome for everyone." Lorraine Hill was also surprised for a while.

"It's okay, Miss Jialan is just relieved. Come on, let's have a drink tonight. It's a rare get-together. Let's have a drink together!"

Several people drank and sang in the restaurant, and then the local main hall heard about it, and a few more people came to accompany it, making it even more lively, the night was full of the sound of this building's rhetoric, drinking and singing.

Looking at this lively and heroic scene, Lorraine Hill, who has seldom experienced it, felt a burst of novelty, and sometimes thought, wouldn't other people in the restaurant have any objections to such a noise.

It's a pity that the scene where someone was dissatisfied and challenged never happened, but the owner and clerk in the restaurant were extremely warm and polite, and they gave away a lot of wine for nothing on the way.

In the middle of the night, when a group of people went downstairs, the restaurant owner even called for a carriage to take them back to their place of residence, which was extremely considerate.

Back at the place where he lived, hot water was also prepared in advance, and he even made a special hangover soup. Only then did Lorraine realize that the reputation of Tuoshitang in the local area may not be as low as he thought.

Recalling that when I was in Minzezhou, even the disciples of a small sect "Zhushanyuan" were masters and nobles who were hard to find in nearby villages and towns, not to mention the famous sect of "Tuoshitang" that spans the southern twenty-two continents.

You can't look down on someone just because he is from the 'Cao Gang'. The girl patted her cheek when she was taking a bath to wake herself up a little.

At night, after changing into fresh clothes, the girl looked at the stars in the sky, then fell asleep peacefully, and waited for the dawn.

At noon the next day, after a good night's sleep and rest, the group recovered their spirit and strength, and embarked on the return journey.

First, I traveled about 40 miles by horse-drawn carriage, and then went east by boat for the last 60 miles.

Compared with Linjiezhou, which is close to the sea and has developed commerce and trade, Qingweizhou pays more attention to agriculture. There are abundant water here, lakes and paddy fields can be seen everywhere, and many busy figures can be seen on the tender green fields. Local farmers live by the river Under the embankment, paddy fields are cultivated.

After admiring the scenery in the distance, Lorraine Hill slowly walked down the second floor of the passenger ship and came to the bow deck, looking at the rippling water under his feet, then bent down and squatted down, brushing the river water with his fingers, Feel the cool water flow at your fingertips.

"It's really a girl's heart." Xue Mo in the boat looked at this scene, smiled, and asked Wei Lengyan beside him to follow, being careful not to let that Miss Jialan fall into the river.

Passing through the high green cliffs on both sides, the sky turned from dark to bright again, and a bustling pier appeared on the shore.

The guy at the bow yelled and told the people on the pier, and then the passenger ship slowly docked on the shore, and finally bumped into the shore slightly, trembling slightly, and stopped.

The deck was lowered, the guests disembarked one after another, and then there were the porters carrying the salute goods.

Lorraine Hill and Wei Lengyan came down first and waited for them to move things on the pier. At this time, there was a conversation on the pier.

"The river to the north has been closed recently."

"Why is it sealed, what about shipping things in the future?"

"The government said it was for land transportation, and the river channel is going to catch water thieves recently. Some time ago, many boats in the river channel were robbed, which caused some commotion."

"It's been more than ten years since there were robbers in Qingzhou Continent. The last time was when the world changed drastically. After all, everything in the world was in chaos at that time."

"Are the people in the government reliable? I feel that the newly appointed high official is very soft-tempered."

"He was born as a scholar, and he also practiced the peaceful Hundred Flowers. He is not good at fighting and killing."

"This has nothing to do with the state herdsman. The captain is the one who will do it. That man is the one who sealed the river this time."

"Although Lord Captain is brave, water warfare is another matter. It's hard to say."

"Hey, if the local Tuoshitang masters were there, the government would need to step in there, and the robbers along the waterway would have been cleaned up long ago."

"That's not true. It's a pity that it's not the beginning of the year. I heard that most of the current masters of Tuoshitang have been transferred to the north."

"The battle between Panlonghui and Tuoshitang is getting more and more fierce~www.readwn.com~ It is said that Fuyun Lake was killed in the last month, and even the sixth-level big shots died twice."

"The government doesn't care, the two sides are fighting so hard."

"No matter what, the Panlong Association has some support in the government. Besides, it's just a fight between the Cao Gang. As long as it doesn't affect the livelihood of the local people, no official is willing to take the risk of mediating."

"That's all, regardless of the affairs of these big shots, let's see how long it takes the government to deal with the water thieves, otherwise this business will be difficult." After that, the group of people slowly dispersed from the notice.

Is the 'Fight of the Lion and the Dragon' already so intense? No wonder that old Zhou thanked him so much for bringing the potion.

Lorraine Hill recalled the experience along the way, and suddenly worried about that Uncle Yu whom he hadn't seen for many years. If this is also involved in this battle, and it is the most intense place, if there is a case...

It's time to speed up the search, the girl secretly made up her mind.
