She Is Not a Witch Chapter 52: Go to 9 barren mountains

After worshiping in Manzhou, Lorraine Hill went to Baimanzhou, where the Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountain was located, and it was also the most remote place in the southwestern continents.

Baimanzhou is located in the central part of the southwest. It is a mountain in a mountain and a forest in a forest. , has to be said to be a curious thing.

Flipping the light golden wings on his back, Lorraine Hill landed on a steep mountain, overlooking the path below that was almost flooded with trees. Although this is the main road leading to Baiman Continent, it often It took a long time to see a carriage pass by.

Baimanzhou is located in a remote place, and there are many monsters and poisonous insects, it is not suitable for human habitation. Monsters enter the village.

After descending from the sky, Lorraine Hill moved forward along this path. At this time, he had reached the interior of Baiman Continent, and there was a small village in front of him.

Walking on this gravel path, the girl can occasionally see long ropes stretched among the woods beside the road, and there are bell-shaped gold and copper objects hanging from them, but these copper bells do not make sounds. There are medicine bags wrapped in cloth hanging, and when passing by, there will be a pungent smell, similar to realgar powder.

For humans, this smell is already very unpleasant, but it is even more disgusting for animals and monsters with a sensitive sense of smell. It seems that these things are specially used to drive away animals and monsters. Snakes, rats and ants are also effective.

It seems that the locals have come up with a lot of ways to survive here for a long time.

Looking past the knots and copper bells hanging on both sides of the road, Lorraine Hill gradually stepped onto the small hillside, and at the end was a village surrounded by stone walls.

Before reaching the entrance of the village, Lorraine Hill heard a sound of barking dogs. When she looked up, someone on the high tower at the end of the village was already looking at her.

"Hey——"

"Where are you from?" The man shouted in a rough voice, and then asked Lorraine Hill.

"I came from Huiluzhou and wanted to visit Jiuhuang Mountain."

"Then you go along the road and don't need to enter the village. If you lack food and water, we can give you some."

"No, thank you." Seeing that the other party didn't want him to enter the village, Lorraine Hill didn't feel any discomfort at all. After all, in such a remote place, the security is up to the villagers themselves, and they probably don't want outsiders to enter the village. What an accident.

However, with her current ability, she doesn't need to enter the village to 'know' what's going on inside.

So there was a slight wind blowing in the mountains, and a few leaves fell and floated into the distance.

There are about 30 families living in this small village. They live in a special way. Most of them sleep in a huge cave. There are many small rooms in the cave. The wooden door is separated from the main road in the cave, and there is a granary in the innermost part, where some dried grain and firewood are piled up.

Outside the cave, there are also some stone houses, some of which are full of sundries, and some are working places, which can be used for blacksmithing, carpentry, weaving, breeding and so on.

Although it is relatively simple, it can also be self-sufficient and does not need to trouble outsiders.

It seems that these villagers are very considerate. If there are monsters coming, they can hide in the cave to resist, as long as they guard the entrance of the cave, and the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is not bad to live in. The only downside may be that it is relatively dark, but I only go to bed at night.

After observing, Lorraine Hill opened his eyes, waved to the villager on the watchtower in the distance, then turned and continued along the mountain road.

Along the way, she also gradually saw several villages like this, some on the mountainside, some on the top of the mountain, most of them are protected by wooden and stone fences, and generally they are not willing to receive outsiders, they are very conservative.

However, when dealing with some acquaintances, they are not always so indifferent. Once Lorraine Hill saw a group of villagers escorting three carriages to another village for trading. I bought some iron, salt, and some medicinal powder. I didn't receive cold reception in other villages, but the two sides talked and laughed enthusiastically and drank the more luxurious wine in the mountains.

Probably because these villages are familiar with each other and trust each other, there is such a scene.

Along the way, Lorraine Hill saw such hidden mountain villages one after another, and saw many monsters walking in the mountains and shade, and some of them attacked Lorraine Hill, But it's a pity that she solved them easily, and finally fled in a hurry.

As the distance from the Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains gets closer, the roadside surroundings gradually become lively, and villages on the roadside begin to appear frequently, and it is rare to see some towns in Lorraine Hill, these towns are hidden In the col, it is formed by the settlement of wooden buildings of hundreds of families.

Compared to those cautious villages, such small towns are obviously much more open. Outsiders can enter as long as they are not too suspicious and strange. There are also restaurants and places to stay inside, as well as small markets. Caravans pass and camp.

In the verdant mountains and forests, wooden buildings are scattered here and there, and they are connected with each other by wooden plank roads and paths, which has a unique style.

After entering the town, Lorraine Hill found a restaurant. It was close to noon, and several guests were already sitting in it, including a fat businessman, three swordsmen in black, and a A herb picker with a basket on his back.

"Miss, what would you like to eat?" The clerk came over skillfully just like the second child in a big city.

It wasn't until here that Lorraine Hill felt a little lively atmosphere in Baiman Continent.

"What do you usually prepare?"

"Generally, there are some common foods, such as rice, fried meat with vegetables, etc. The better ones include kiln chicken, rice cakes with preserved vegetables, and yellow rice wine."

"That's it..." Lorraine Hill thought for a while, and then chose a kiln chicken and rice cakes.

"Okay, please wait a minute, this kiln chicken will take some effort to make it delicious."

After that, he walked towards the back kitchen, and after a while, Lorraine Hill heard the sound of killing chickens from the backyard.

Sorry, I didn't expect them to be killed fresh. Lorraine Hill silently prayed for the dead chicken, but suddenly looked forward to it again, as if he hadn't eaten some snacks and food for a long time. Xiangyu pie's food is also good, but after all, it's a bit tired of eating.

When sitting for a long time and bored, Lorraine Hill sat at the table and looked at the scenery outside. There were many people here, among them chickens and dogs barking. The sound of women talking as they carry their laundry to the wash.

"Sister Liu has another child, and I haven't seen her come out recently."

"It's probably confinement. I see her mother-in-law is very happy, and she is going to buy a fat duck for the daughter-in-law to make up for her body."

"By the way, I heard that Pharmacist Hu, who sits in the pavilion, has a batch of medicine bought from outside, which stops the bleeding very well. In the past two years, there has never been any news of giving birth to an adult in the town. "

"What kind of medicine, did you buy it from Huaxuzhou?"

"I don't think so. I heard that it was brought by Yaoshi Hu's nephew when he returned from the west. They are all packed in special glass bottles, so use less."

"Pharmacist Hu has no children, so he is very kind to his nephew. When he was a child, he also sponsored him to study outside. He is the only one in our mountain who has come out."

"I'm so envious, it would be nice if our children could do that."

"Isn't that right? That kid went to Jixia Academy to study, and later traveled with his classmates. Now he is a big shot."

"In the past, people from Nine Barren Mountains came to ask questions about him, and asked the town to take good care of his family."

"That's great..."

The few people were talking, their footsteps disappeared in the distance, it seems that they went to wash clothes in a distant pool, Lorraine Hill could hear a faint sound from the breeze, it seemed to be the sound of splashing water and slapping The sound of clothes.

Just when the girl was thinking about what kind of potion it might be, a swordsman in black came over from the store. mark.

"This lady is also from the outside world." He spoke first, and then sat in front of Lorraine Hill.

"I am, what's the matter?" Lorraine Hill raised his head, and the long black hair behind him shook slightly, slipping over his shoulders and slender waist.

"This lady is able to pass through the mountains of Baimanzhou safely by herself. She must be not weak. We are going to the gate of the Nine Barren Mountains here, maybe by the way, so I would like to ask this lady for help. Busy."

"It's indeed on the way." Lorraine Hill nodded thoughtfully.

"What's the matter with you?"

"The few of us are going to **** something to the Nine Barren Mountains, but we met our opponents on the way. They have followed us for a long time. Once we leave the town, we may attack on the way, so we need some helpers to protect us."

"I see...but can you tell me what it is? If it's very precious, why don't you fly it?"

"Airship and floating boats are not for ordinary people to ride on. Besides, in Baimanzhou, where monsters are rampant, no floating boat would dare to pass by. They all avoid it." He shook his head.

"In terms of things, it's a box of medicines and a few special pieces of heartwood. These are urgently needed on the Nine Barren Mountains, and they can be sold at a good price. Of course, it's not just for money. The Nine Barren Mountains are located in a remote place. It’s not easy getting something in and out.”

"It's only more than 70 miles away from the gate of Jiuhuang Mountain. It can be completed in two days. In fact, as long as it is close to 30 miles, those villains will not dare to catch up. But the last 40 miles are still It's a bit dangerous." As he spoke, he untied his cuffs, revealing the bandaged wound inside, Lorraine Hill could smell a trace of blood, it seemed that the wound was only a day or two old.

Do you want to agree? It seems to be a good look.

After pondering for a few seconds, Lorraine Hill nodded slightly, and then asked about the other party's reward.

"Here are 10 gold dishes. This young lady can accept them first. After arriving at Jiuhuang Mountain, we will present 20 more gold dishes."

Seeing that Lorraine Hill nodded, he readily took out a small bag containing gold vessels, and unwrapped it on the table, revealing the golden vessels inside, judging by the faint dragon vein aura above, It's not a fake, in fact, it's extremely difficult to fake the Panlong Golden Vessel in the Eastern Continent.

"Then let's not bother the lady for the meal, and I will explain it in detail after the lady has finished eating." After that, he returned to his table, continued to eat with his companions, and asked the clerk to prepare for them. Some cooked food, good to take with you.

Looking at his skillful appearance, he should be a swordsman who has been out darts all year round.

Lorraine Hill looked at the preparations of the three and thought for a while. At this time, the kiln chicken and rice cakes she ordered were also ready.

When the roasted browned and tender chicken was served, it was still steaming white. The belly of the chicken was cut open, and there were mushrooms and seasonings inside. The chicken was also baked with salt before baking, so it was not It will be bland, and because it is wrapped with special materials when roasting, the internal moisture will not lose too much, and it will be more tender and soft, rather than rough with dry firewood.

On the other side are three square rice cakes, fried with a little oil, and served with a little pickled vegetables, which smells quite appetizing.

It’s not a loss, the girl blinked, picked up the chopsticks and ate it in small bites. After entering the tender meat, you can still feel the fragrance of mushrooms, green onions and garlic. It tastes slightly salty and spicy, which makes people aftertaste.

After a long time, Lorraine Hill put down his chopsticks contentedly, stood up and went to pay the bill.

"Thank you, the guests will come again next time." Although it is delicious, the price is not cheap. The location here is cheap, and the price is much higher than the outside world.

Seeing Lorraine Hill having dinner, the three of them also came over and asked if they could leave.

"We can't stay here for a long time, it will be much safer to leave as soon as possible." The swordsman with white marks on his face said.

"Well, okay." Lorraine Hill didn't care, so he followed the three of them out of the town and continued along the road.

Walking on the road, Lorraine Hill asked the other party some things.

"Why did Brother Lin invite me directly just now? I was actually quite surprised at the time."

After listening, the swordsman walking in front also shook his head, "Actually, we were more surprised just now."

"This kind of remote barren mountain, dangerous place where monsters haunt, it is very special for Miss Yi to appear alone. If my guess is correct, Miss should be a disciple of the Great School, otherwise she would not be so calm and composed."

"That's right." Is that so, the girl thought to herself.

"Then you are not afraid that I am also a villain?"

"Of course I'm afraid, otherwise we won't let you go in the middle, and we definitely won't be at ease in the end, but with a background like the eldest lady, I definitely don't care about the few money I wait for my life, so I shouldn't do evil so easily. "According to the swordsman's description, the moon white silk gauze suit worn by Lorraine Hill alone is worth a lot, and it should not be short of money.

"Do you trust others that much when you're walking outside?" The girl became even more curious.

"It's not about trusting others, but trusting you now, miss. The risk is lower than the three of us traveling alone. Sometimes we can only choose the one with the seemingly lower risk. It's impossible to be perfect." He explained patiently. Listen to the girl.

"Okay, I'm done asking." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then the three of them saw that the girl's skills were really good and she could keep up with her easily, so they speeded up again. , and running is almost the same.

These three people each carry a sturdy rattan wooden box, which should contain things to be transported, but it seems that there are not many, the box is not very heavy, but rather light.

And when walking, alternate positions from time to time, there is always one person in front observing the surrounding environment, one person in the middle relaxes for a while, and the person at the end looks back from time to time, and is also on guard.

Lorland Hill also asked the three of them on the way why they didn't use livestock to pull the cart. Water crosses the river.

In this way, although the four of them were a little nervous all the way, nothing happened, until dusk was approaching, when a special black panther lay in ambush by the side of the road and suddenly rushed out.

This black panther has the strength of the fifth level, and its aura is very well concealed~IndoMTL.com~ If it weren't for Lorraine Hill, the other three people would have been concealed by him.

The blade of grass flew up from the forest, wrapped around Lorraine Hill's wrist, and then flew out, forcing the panther to jump out. At the same time, the pair of dark blue eyes stared at the four people present, Let out bursts of low growls.

"I'm going with Brother Song, Miss, you and Brother Xu are waiting." After finishing speaking, he put down the pannier, pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, leaned down slightly, and looked directly at the roaring and walking in front of him. black panther.

These three swordsmen all have the strength of Sequence 4-5. It is not a problem to defeat this black panther, but the problem is to defeat this black panther without getting injured, otherwise it will be a big loss.

He licked his dry lips, fixed his eyes on the ferocious monster in front of him, slowly adjusted his breathing, and his body muscles gradually entered a state of being ready to go.

Then, the swordsman moved.

A streak of silver light flashed suddenly, bringing with it a blue thunder and lightning, which brightened the dark woods.

"Chi——"
