She Is Not a Witch Chapter 5: For now

"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.

"Jijiu."

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, and it took the girl a while to hug her.

Listening to Dai Ju's non-stop tweets, Lorraine Hill knew that this guy was wronged, and complained loudly about the abuse of Ye Ling, such as grabbing it as a pillow and preventing him from going out to find a good one. What to eat, the high temperature emitted while sleeping almost roasted it into a fat chicken and so on.

"Okay, okay, let's sleep in my room today." Lorraine Hill comforted the chubby Daiju 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 back was a bit messy, and there were some traces of being bent.

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

Lorraine Hill pulled Ye Ling, who was still wanting 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 a flat and beautiful shape. ponytail on both sides.

At first, Ye Ling 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..." Yeling woke up a little 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 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 it tastes 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 degrading.

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

"It's a seafood restaurant on the east coast 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 the fishy smell of seafood makes most people uncomfortable. 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, so most high-ranking officials or nobles would deliberately avoid things that are prone to smell , In addition, some onions and garlic are easy to produce bad breath, and nobles will also 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 picked seafood does not 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 exceptionally fresh, which is 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 fish in the sea would produce special substances in order to resist the high osmotic pressure of seawater, and this was also the source of most of the fresh and fishy smells of sea fish.

The refrigeration technology in the world is not developed nowadays, and it is normal for nobles living inland not to like 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.

Sitting at the table by the side, the sea breeze passes through the open floor, and a refreshing feeling can also be felt from the skin.

Because it 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 Ye Ling 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 feel that the night spirit is a little heavier than before. Lorraine poked her soft face with her fingers, and after a while, she put down her 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.

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

Sure enough, it's a good choice to taste fresh food occasionally. Even Lorraine Hill, seeing this table of food, became happy.

"There seems to be something delicious." She was still dozing off before, but after the scent was smelled by Ye Ling, 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 come to 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 because of the vermilion dye, red paper, and red cloth, but also a unique style of 'Dianzhu' painting method in the local area, with many famous painters."

"It's just that ten years ago, when I was still 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 very 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 pests, and many rice tanks of ordinary people have been eaten by bugs."

"Ordinary vats, stones, and walls can't stop them at all. They can gnaw on rocks, so they can naturally gnaw on these, and after entering the rice warehouse, these insects multiply in large numbers, and all kinds of dirty things produced It is poisonous, even if it is discovered later, the food will be useless.”

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

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

"After the local officials reported the situation, the Dynasty first dispatched 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 five thousand fire-breathing masters to burn all the bugs on the ground. At that time, the entire Zhou County was almost turned into a sea of ​​flames. A fire-breathing master in a yellow robe."

"Then Wanziqianhonggu also developed a special insecticidal powder after a period of time, and sprinkled it all over Zhou County, so that the insect plague was 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 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-breathing master, 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 which, although the fire-breathing master is an extraordinary person, he is not a very high-level existence. His status is similar to that of a butcher in the village. He usually does not see people, and he is only invited when needed. come over.

They often only have Sequence 1-3, are good at various 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. For ceremonies such as defilement, fire-breathers will appear at funerals in many villages and small towns. They will be responsible for writing eulogies, hanging them up and burning them, and finally cremating the corpses and placing them in cans.

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

"At the beginning, it didn't, because the burning 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, and people and crops could not live at all. .”

"Later, it probably got better slowly. I went back three years ago to visit relatives in my hometown. There were already sporadic villages and towns reappearing."

"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, he was already full.

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

In the ancient times before the establishment of the Plantagenet Dynasty, Huiluzhou, Suiyan Mountains, Yanyuzhou, and several surrounding counties were the territory of the country of fire. Because of the perennial dryness and fire, these places The population is small 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... Little Spirit?"

A very strong man walked up to this floor of the restaurant, followed by a dozen or so black-clothed swordsmen, who looked 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 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 am 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 touch his head.

"You have 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. At that time, he was wrestling with his companions on the wooden platform. It was seen by Lorraine Hill and Ye Ling's group, and later 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 find you, but there was no response. After finding out your whereabouts, 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, lethargy is normal, I was also told by some uncles at that time, after all, you are hibernating or sleeping most of the time at home, so let them not worry. It's just that I haven't heard from you for a long time, Still worrying."

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

Feeling the brother's fiery love, Yeling was a little shy, and muttered about the things of these years, such as what he saw and heard in the Western Continent, where he went to play, what friends he made, etc. of.

Although she slept in the mountains of Tisilan for a long time, it was not like this all the time. 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. A loli who likes to use a hammer is also a powerful genius who can turn into a dragon. The two have teamed up to bully many monsters in the Tisilan Mountains. In front of Xingliu, who is also a genius of the Dragon Sequence, the two will Much quieter and more honest.

"Very good, I thought you would squat at home every day and go 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 shook.

"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?" Ye Ling jumped off the chair, came to Lorraine Hill, and grabbed her arms and sleeves.

"Lorland..." He seemed to think of more when he heard the name.

"Hello, you are Ye Ling's cousin, Nanke, right?" Lorraine Hill saw him thinking, and interrupted hastily. If this really reminded him of other identities, it would be exposed here Not a 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." Where is the beauty, it has not changed Ah, he thought so in his heart, but he couldn't ask the reason for a while, maybe girls have various ways to maintain their appearance, he doesn't know much about them.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to remember it. It's been many years." 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 I just finished my business and was about to return home, but I didn't expect to meet Ye Ling 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 little, but 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." Luolan Hill looked at Ye Ling, a girl who was just like her younger sister.

"Okay, 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.

"Sister Luolan must come to Luojing to find me, otherwise Yeling will be very boring." Before leaving, she thought about going out to play next time.

"Okay ~IndoMTL.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.

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

After drinking and eating, a group of people 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." Yeling 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.

"Jijiu~"
