She Is Not a Witch Chapter 7: The flow is eastward

As soon as he walked into this tailor-made clothing workshop, Lorraine Hill felt a slight coolness. When he looked up, he saw two bronze crane birds hanging on the wall, breathing cold smoke slowly from their mouths. Looking at the bronze body embedded in the wall, there should be pipes or devices behind it 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 and the ceiling is very high. Paper umbrellas of different sizes are hung upside down. Landscapes, flowers and plants are painted on the bottom of the blue fan, and some poems are mentioned. The environment is embellished and 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 materials of the fabrics are the same, the styles and styles are not monotonous. There are not only the skirts, jackets, curved skirts, straight skirts, half-arms worn by women, but also the cloaks and straight skirts worn by men. , just because the colors are similar, you need to walk in to distinguish them carefully.

"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 this time." Wei Lengyan stood up and spoke.

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

"Then please introduce it to us." Because it's the first time for Lorraine Hill to choose, he still wants to hear this person's introduction or recommendation.

"Then please follow me."

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

Along the way, this person 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. Most of them There is also such a clerk in front of him 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 steady and reassuring, and they can calmly face many scenes. People can't help but immerse themselves in the words of their explanations and recommendations.

Sure enough, this clothes shop, Lorraine Hill thought.

Although there is no obvious face to show, the girl can still feel that there are actually several mid-level transcendents sitting in the shop. They are 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 Xuanshuiyi, which is what the West calls Ocean Sequence.

After roughly walking around, Lorraine Hill finally chose a double-breasted dress. It doesn't look thin and monotonous, it has a layered beauty, and the embroidery of the white bird on the dress also fills in the gaps just right, making it a bit more gorgeous. The inner lining is slightly narrowed to show the body curve, while the outer layer is It is looser and softer, so that the dress is elegant and elegant.

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

"This dress is 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, with some surprise in his eyes.

"The customer actually has a good eye. This dress is also the best masterpiece in our clothing workshop. We can't produce a few pieces a year, so the price will be more expensive." The clerk at the side explained patiently.

"There are other cheap ones, but they may not match the lady'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 the money, 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. I didn't feel much, but after entering the Xiangyu School, there were several sets of matching dresses distributed by the Guangmen School, so I didn't need to go out and buy them myself, so I didn't feel much.

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

Although the fabric of Tianshuibi is expensive, it is a fabric with no supernatural effect. This piece of clothing can't use a gold plate even if it is waste, but after it is finished, it immediately doubles by more than ten times, and it can be compared with some silver-level clothes. extraordinary creation.

If I hadn't entered the Xiangyu School at that time, I'm afraid I would have made clothes to make money. Thinking of how I 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, and brought 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, and they had always had a bad appetite on the boat. After all, the food on the boat was really not good. 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. It is divided into two floors, and the second floor can enjoy the river view.

"Take another two days along this Lidai River, and you will arrive at the boundary of Qingzhou Island." Wei Lengyan introduced to Lorraine Hill.

The Lidai River is about 100 meters wide. It is a big river flowing through the four continents. The riverside is full of green aquatic plants. Lorraine Hill even saw patches of reeds, and occasionally some lotus and lotus leaves. In inlets with slower currents.

As the sun sets, sporadic fishermen are still rowing boats and casting nets on the river.

————

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

"If you go a hundred miles east, you will be able to return to our sub-helm."

Shortly after stepping off the pier, a burst of yelling 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 walking towards him. He was dark-skinned and carried something like a paddle behind his back. His face was full of wrinkles and scratches. He looked about fifty. Years old.

"So it's Lao Zhou, you're 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 on duty here today.

"Let's go and have a meeting over there. 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."

"It's...well, I'm going to trouble Lao Zhou."

"Hey, we're all from the same family, so 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 to be this young lady who made the move. I am very grateful. If you can help me in the future, please call me."

"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 meet 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. It may have changed its name, so it is hard to find."

"But don't worry, since you said you want to find someone, we at Tuoshitang will never hesitate to send someone to inquire about the surrounding Zhou counties. If you can't find them, we will send someone to the general manager If you ask and visit the church, you will never be disappointed.”

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 started drinking and singing 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.

Looking at this lively and heroic scene, Lorraine Hill, who has rarely 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 to the place where he lived, the hot water was prepared in advance, and he even made a special hangover soup. Only then did Lorraine Hill 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 'Tuoshitang', a famous sect spanning twenty-two southern continents Woolen cloth.

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 regained their spirit and strength, and embarked on the return journey.

Firstly, it takes a horse-drawn carriage for more than 40 miles, and then takes a boat to the east for the last 60 miles.

Compared to 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 Under the embankment by the river, paddy fields are cultivated.

After admiring the scenery in the distance, Lorraine Hill slowly walked down the second floor of the passenger ship, came to the bow deck, looked at the rippling water under his feet, then bent down and squatted down, brushing Crossing the river, 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, and stopped.

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

Lorland 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 recent river to the north is closed."

"Why is it sealed, what should I do if I ship things in the future?"

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

"There are still robbers in Qingzhou Island. I haven't heard of it for more than ten years. The last time was when the world changed drastically. After all, the world was in chaos at that time."

"Are the people in the government reliable? I feel that the newly appointed high official has a very soft temper."

"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 the captain is brave, water battles are another matter. It's hard to say."

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

"No, 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~IndoMTL.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."

"However, 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 local people's livelihood, 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 this time, 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.

Recalling the experience along the way, Lorraine Hill suddenly worried about that Uncle Yu who hadn't seen him for many years. If this is also involved in this battle, and it is still the most intense place, if there is an eventuality...

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