She Is Not a Witch Chapter 34: Meeting in the night market
Lorraine Hill walked out of the courtyard with curiosity and came to the outside of the inn. At this moment, the streets were already full of parade crowds.
The fish-shaped lanterns on the street are like dragons. The outside is made of fireproof gauze. The color is like a goldfish red tail. A long pole at the bottom lifts it, and the head of the long pole burns with a torch.
The huge fish shaped like fireproof gauze is lifelike. Its mouth opens. As the people below dance and move forward, air is poured in, and the torch inside illuminates it. Spilled sparks and flames. The big fish flows inside, reflecting its whole body bright and flowing, with a kind of flowing beauty.
With the sound of gongs, snare drums, trumpets, etc., people cheered and danced with flames like big fish walking through the streets, surrounded by many adults and children watching the excitement, and the faces illuminated by the flames were also exposed. Smiles, occasionally made waves of calls, in response to the parade.
The whole city is very lively even at night, and you can see vendors selling food and small items on the streets and alleys.
Lorraine Hill, who was also hungry, walked onto the street and was ready to buy something to eat.
"Balsamic Golden Bell Crisp-a century-old flavor."
"Bright lantern shrimp ~ 2 silver rings a plate."
Regardless of the era, the style of street shouting is still so similar. Lorrain Hill walked on the side of the street and looked at the local food curiously.
The so-called bright lantern prawn is to burn the oil pan to 7 minutes, then put the prawns in, fry until red, then add green onion, ginger, cooking wine, salt, sugar, tomato sauce, add chicken broth, add mushrooms. Use low heat until it tastes good, turn to high heat, thicken with wet starch, turn over and take out the pot, place it in a lantern shape on a plate, press the tail of the shrimp with the lantern spike made of egg skin, and cover the shrimp head with mushrooms on the upper part of the lantern mouth , Then fly the remaining juice in the pot with oil, and pour it on top.
The small slap-sized plates are especially attractive under the orange lanterns.
Although there is no extraordinary power, its fragrance and gorgeous shape still firmly attract tourists from all over the world. Many people with a little spare money will buy it and try it.
"Bring me a plate." A burly man looked at it and put down two silver rings with his hand.
"Mom, I want to eat too." A child stretched out his hand and begged the mother beside him.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to buy it..." The mother slowly approached.
Looking at the crowd in front of the booth, Lorrain Hill looked at it and decided not to crowd it. Instead, he walked to the other side of the booth, which was slightly less crowded.
"Would you like a golden bell, this lady." The hawker here seems to be a couple. The man makes quick preparations while the woman on the other entertains the guests.
"Well, give me a copy." Lorrainhill handed out a silver ring.
It's a bit expensive, but most of the scenic spots are like this, she recalled the scene of traveling in her previous life.
"Okay~" The woman in her 30s accepted the money, and then talked to her husband next to her. Soon a copper bell that had been placed upside down in the furnace was taken out, and the copper bell was buckled on it. On the wooden table, and then uncovered, a golden crispy pancake like a bronze bell appeared in front of the girl's eyes.
She touched it a little with her hand, it was still a bit hot, but the outer shell was very crispy and exuded a burst of fragrance.
"This is best eaten while it's hot." After finishing speaking, the woman at the stall wrapped the part in thick paper and put it into the girl's hand.
"Ok, thank you."
In this way, Lorrain Hill walked down the street holding this crispy night food, and when it cooled down a little bit and no longer burned her mouth, she took off her veil, and then stood slightly under the archway in the street, looking at the space ahead. Fireworks in full bloom on the ground.
Special small fireworks sprayed with sparks, whirled on the ground, rose slightly, and then fell again. Adults and children played in the open space of this square city.
Just as Lorrain Hill was eating quietly, a familiar voice slowly came over. It was the two brothers who had just seen him in the courtyard.
"Brother Jiao, is the festival so grand every time?" The two talked casually, and then approached this open space in the city.
"No, but the last festival was not held as scheduled, which means it was vacant for a period of time. So this time is so grand. After all, the last time it was held ten years ago, the locals also miss it."
"Oh, why was it last time..." The junior, who was wearing a white shirt, asked with a folding fan.
"That was a change of heaven and earth. At that time, one year ago, the highest practitioner in the world was only second-tier, and no one could preside over the ceremony." The senior brother looked up at the stars in the sky.
"In addition, many older generation of practitioners have passed away in recent years, and many things are in danger of being lost. The local factions are also flawless. He has taken care of it. It is only now that it has gradually eased."
"But the witches of this generation of Yuyan Red Ray Gate are said to be very beautiful, do you want to pursue it, haha." The brother laughed, his voice was bold and spread far away.
"Senior brother, don't laugh, I'm only at the fifth level now. The Yuyan Red Ray Gate is also the only door to the Yanray Island, and ordinary people can't afford it." The younger brother shook his head.
"Ha, you have to be ambitious, and you must be the best. I am still very optimistic about you. Many juniors in the door admire you very much. Besides, your background is not bad, but... .." The brother Jiao patted the shoulder of the brother beside him.
"I naturally know myself..."
The brother's words suddenly lowered, and the brother on the side turned his head and saw him stunned, followed his gaze, and saw the girl sitting under the archway in the Fangshi.
Under the soft black hair is the face of Allure, reflected by the rising fireworks, the tiny shadow of the eyelashes turns slightly as the fireworks rise, and as the fireworks disperse, that face falls into the hazy night again, only The beautiful figure was illuminated by the lantern, leaving a soft figure on the ground.
"This....." Even the well-informed senior was slightly stunned, and then reacted.
"She's the girl who just came out of the inn where we stayed. I didn't expect the face of the veil to be so charming."
"Would you like to go up and ask for a few words." He encouraged the younger brother on the side.
"But..." This junior is still a little bit unwilling to let go, and he has never taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with a girl.
"What are you afraid of, you still come from Luo Jing's Zhou family, you are bolder."
Under the encouragement of this senior, the two slowly approached. At this time, Lorrain Hill also looked away from the fireworks blooming in the night sky and saw the two people.
"Hello, lady, next week, Jianyi will come from the Huang Su Sect of Xuanyuan Zhou." The younger brother in white introduced first.
"Xia Jiao Fenghan, like this one, comes from the Huang Su faction. I was fortunate to meet the young lady here. Did you come here to watch the ceremony too?" The senior raised his fists and bowed slightly, and then introduced himself.
"It just happened to be here, ready to go back to Luzhou." Lorrain Hill replied.
"So that's it, the journey back to Luzhou is very long if you don't go there." Jiao Fenghan said.
"Why do you say that, I see that the Yanray Island on the map is only two continents apart." The girl was a little puzzled.
"It’s not like that. This lady may not know. To the west of Yanyazhou, there are Suiyan Mountains. There are many volcanoes in this area, so most people who want to go to Huiluzhou will take a horse-drawn carriage detour from the north side of He Xingzhou. , Mushanzhou went around."
"In this way, coupled with the rugged rotation of the mountain road, it will take about half a year to reach Huiluzhou."
"So is there any quicker way?" Lorrain Hill discovered that the deadline left by Chiwu contained a test.
"Hurry up, the only way to read the volcano or fly over."
"But looking through the volcano and flying over are both dangerous." Junior Brother Zhou also added.
"The elders in my family have recorded that there are many firebirds, monsters, and barbaric aliens in the Flintstone Mountains. As the situation changes today, the security in remote areas is not very good, and it is very dangerous. Besides, you are still alone..." When he was about to continue to add, he slapped a palm on his shoulder and interrupted him for the time being.
"So, in my opinion, this lady might as well stay in Yanyazhou for a few more months, and then wait for the huge boat from Hanshan Yanxingmen to come over and ride the huge boat over the Suiyan Mountains. This is more appropriate."
"In this case..." the girl counted the time in her heart, and then continued to ask.
"When will the giant boat from Yanxingmen come over?"
"It will arrive in October, and according to the time, we will also take the giant boat back to Xuanyuanzhou." Jiao Fenghan added.
"And the girl doesn't need to be so anxious. Now the festival is approaching, and the mountain has been sealed in Yanray Island. If it is unblocked, you will have to wait for the festival to end in three days, and it will not be too late to leave at that time."
"That's it..." Later Lorraine asked about the flight speed and time schedule of the boat.
If you wait for the huge boat to arrive and take it back to Luzhou, it is estimated that it will arrive in the second half of December, and it will be only a few days before the winter solstice. If there is any delay in the middle, she will miss the entrance time .
After analyzing for a while, Lorrain Hill raised his head.
"Thank you for your advice, but I still don't wait for the giant boat."
"But..." The Junior Brother Zhou wanted to continue to say, changing the girl's reckless thoughts, but Jiao Fenghan on the side continued to interrupt his words.
"Then wait for the festival before leaving."
Hearing this situation, Lorrain Hill nodded, but it was not in a hurry for three days.
The few people talked for a while, and Lorrain Hill saw that the pedestrians on the street were gradually sparse, and said goodbye for the time being, and went back to the inn to rest.
After the girl walked far away, the Junior Brother Zhou asked about the seniors next to her.
"Why didn't my brother let me persuade this lady to know how dangerous it is to walk through the Suiyan Mountains alone."
"Huh, brother, I don’t understand it. From my point of view, that girl has a good opinion of you, otherwise she wouldn’t be so amiable. But girls, she must be somewhat reserved. If she agrees with you so easily Proposal, doesn’t it seem to be easy for her to get her hands. This way she won’t be cherished by others."
"Also, didn't we also introduce ourselves just now. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that many of the Huangshu faction are relatives of the imperial family. After the clan, she must be clear in her heart."
"So, in my opinion, anyone with a little bit of mind must know the danger of entering the Suiyan Mountains at this time. She said this is a special opportunity for you to show. Otherwise, after inquiring, she immediately agreed to Stayed during the festival."
"This must be a hint for you. Alas, girls are like this, they are crooked and more complicated." The senior said in the voice of a person who came over.
"You deserve to be a brother, I admire him." The white-clothed brother admired him and looked at the brother with admiration.
"Hehe, where, did the younger brother fall in love with this young lady at first sight?" The two walked down the street and talked, then sat down at a noodle stall and ordered the famous local red oil dragon beard noodles.
"This..."
Seeing that the younger brother on the side was still hesitating, the younger brother agitated again.
"Don’t be shy, fair lady, and the skirt is so beautiful, this is normal. In my opinion, this lady should be the kind of girl who rarely goes out, but has a good tutor. You only need to take your profound knowledge and background. The family background was revealed inadvertently, and she said, she will definitely be attracted to you."
"That's it, I admire it."
"Where, where, I picked nine hundred safflowers in the back mountain of the door for quite a few years, and put them in a flower basket to the fairy fairy of Youlanzong next door, which moved people..."
"Awesome. Then why didn't you see Brother Li and Fairy Li together later."
"Hmph, it's the master of Youlanzong, who is also the master of Fairy Li, who blocked it. In the end Fairy Li had to wave goodbye to me, saying that this was God's will."
"I was out of anger at the time, and went to the Honored Master to comment. Unfortunately, after listening to the Master, he not only didn't help me, but also kept me in confinement for several months, saying that I can't afford to embarrass people, which is very disgusting. This old man. ...."
The two sat at a noodle stall by the side of the street at night, eating noodles, and discussing how to pursue girls. When the noodle hawker beside him sat down and listened to the conversation between the two, they shook their heads secretly, thinking that the two of them were still Not as good as the old Wang from his own village.
It seems that the practitioner is nothing more than that, he sighed from the side.
"Father, we are back." A childish voice came from the side, and the hawker turned to see his two children running over, and a woman not far away also approached slowly with a smile.
"Are you having fun today?" He knelt down and hugged his two children.
"Happy~"
Seeing that his two children were still holding Sugar Man in their hands, he touched his head with affection, and then got up.
"Two people go slowly." The two who had finished eating the noodles also got up and walked towards the residence.
On both sides of the street, the hanging lanterns still emit light.
Three days later~IndoMTL.com~The Flame Ray Festival arrives as scheduled.
There are lights and festoons in the state city, and Lorrain Hill also walks with the people on the street, walking towards the city's sacrificial ceremony. The two brothers, Yizhuang and Yishou, also followed her and walked towards the center of the venue.
Hundreds of thousands of people gather in Yanyazhou City. Apart from half of them are locals, more are practitioners from nearby regions or counties.
They stood on the periphery of the festival scene in the city, talking noisily, and then waited nervously expectantly.
Lorraine Hill looked at the virtual screen in his field of view with curiosity this time.
Task: Participate in the flame ray festival and fully experience the process of the festival. (Simple)
Reward: Obtain an insight into the flow of dragon veins and a secret book of [Yuyan Red Ray Gate].
After so many years, this system seems to play a guiding role again, guiding Lorrain Hill to understand and experience this colorful world.
