She Is Not a Witch Chapter 109: Summer Vineyard

There is a light rain in the sky, and the raindrops wet the branches in the mountains, then slide down along the leaves, and finally drip into the hard concrete road, gurgling along the drains, and falling leaves, gravel, and peeling trees skin for a joyful rafting adventure.

Although it is a city in the mountains, it is not backward. Neat houses are distributed on both sides of the road, with tiled walls and purple roofs of different shades. These houses are decorated with a sense of life. There are also trees planted in the yard, which are tall and big, bringing a little shade and chic, and revealing a trace of peace and happiness in the neatness.

In this continuous rain, there are occasional vehicles passing by on the road, and the sound of water splashing from tires rolls up from far to near, and then disappears in the hazy drizzle.

"Ahead is the Mountain Cherry Museum. Children, please be prepared to follow the teacher and don't get lost." On a bright yellow bus, a young female teacher said to the ten-year-olds on the bus. kids reminded.

"Children who have umbrellas and raincoats can find them in advance. If you don't have them, please raise your hand. The teacher has spares here."

She walked through the aisle of the bus, checking the children one by one, while everyone chattered, some said they were ready, some didn't listen to the teacher's speech, and kept throwing themselves at the glass window, looking at the constantly receding children outside. The scenery, and some looked anxiously at the people around them, as if they wanted to say something.

After the two teachers checked one by one and made sure that everyone had rainproof equipment, they returned to their seats with confidence. At this time, the bus slowly climbed up the **** and entered the depths of the mountain.

On the car window, bean-sized drops of water kept sliding down, making the outside world cold and wet. The number of cars on the road gradually decreased, and thick forests appeared on both sides, and the ground was full of Wet dark red fallen leaves.

The rainwater gathered into a stream and flowed on the hillside outside the road, taking away a few wet leaves and rolling pebbles.

Unknowingly, the bus has arrived in the deep mountains, and after turning a corner, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, and a spacious open space and the ancient western-style buildings standing under the big trees also appeared in everyone's eyes .

"That is the museum we are going to today. It is said that it was remodeled from a foreign-style house a long time ago, and there are still many things used by the nobles in the past."

"Hey, it's something used by nobles, it feels amazing~" Some children looked out the window enviously and expectantly.

"Hmph, the nobles are all ancients. I heard from my mother that the things used by the nobles in the past are nothing now. For example, the ice cream snacks we eat now and the clothes we wear are only used by the nobles in the past. Something." A little girl in a red dress whispered while crossing her arms, and the children around her also looked at her with admiration.

"Xiao Ning is amazing~" A child said so, and the teacher was also smiling.

Soon, the bus parked steadily in the square in front of the huge mansion, and the staff in the guard room walked out, exchanged a few words with the driver, and then the stretched fence in front of the mansion gradually opened.

"Now, everyone, follow the teacher to get off the bus, come one by one, don't worry, remember to put on your raincoat and hold up your umbrella."

"Yes~" the children answered obediently in unison.

In the cold rain, these children lined up in a long line, followed behind the teacher, walked through the closed fence, and entered the simple and elegant mansion.

Climbing up the marble steps, they walked over with small splashes step by step, and then regrouped under the tall gatepost, then cleaned the water droplets on the umbrella and raincoat, put them in the designated place, and walked carefully Enter the quiet interior of the museum.

The interior here is very quiet, mahogany furniture and brass decorations can be seen everywhere, the ground is as clean as a mirror, and there are some guiding signs on both sides of the road.

Two staff members of the museum came and told the children about the origin and history of each object.

"This is the colored porcelain tea table used by the local Viscount Wenlani during the period of the Green Empire. It is said that it was specially customized from the East. It has sand red and light gold patterns. It was used by the Viscount when he entertained guests... ..."

"Take a good look~" The children lay on the outside of the glass closet and looked at the objects inside, but there were also a few children who were not interested in these, but their eyes were here

Walking around the museum, looking at the dome above.

"Here is the full-body armor used by knights in the empire period, and next to it are matching vests, lances, and long swords." After speaking, the staff introduced another item.

"Wow, this feels great." Compared with the previous tea table, the children are much more excited now.

"Oh, this is plate armor. I heard from my grandfather that he envied those cavalrymen who rode horses when he was a child. In the past, the empire had established cavalry troops, which were very gorgeous."

"It's very gorgeous, but didn't the teacher say it was very dark in the empire class, maybe you are a soldier who is exhausted behind the master knight, hehe."

"Ah, you're always arguing, so I won't play with you in the future."

"Shhh, if you don't play, don't play. You still think I'm a kid, yeah." Said the child and made a grimace.

…

The staff took these children through various places in the museum, explaining the objects stored there one by one, most of which came from the period of the Green Empire, including utensils used by nobles, armor and weapons, and some The incomparably decorated dress caused these children to exclaim.

"Finally, before we leave the museum, we would like to thank the benefactor of this museum, the original owner of most of the items, Grandma Geweier."

Speaking, the staff came to the back door of the museum, near the exit, there was a small room with an oil painting in it, some manuscripts and a few sketched patterns in the glass lattice below .

In the oil painting, a woman with a thin body and silver hair is sitting on a red sponge chair with her hands in front of her. Although she is old, she can still see from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. The astonishing beauty of a young age. This woman wears a medal with a white flower emblem on her chest, wears a long black dress with white cuffs, and her eyes are very quiet and kind.

"Grandma Geweier is not only the founder of the museum, but also an early important member of the Younger Dryas organization. She has contributed a lot to the establishment of the Jade Star Alliance. She is a respectable senior. Let everyone salute, and then today's visit will begin It's over."

"Thank you, Grandma Geweier." After saying that, the children bowed in front of the portrait, and then followed the teacher out of the museum.

Walking out of the dark and quiet museum, the outside is bright, the rain has stopped, and the clouds in the sky don't know when it dissipated, it is very bright.

Back to the bus, the teacher started counting the number of people again.

"1, 2, 3, ... 22, 23, 24, well, it seems that they are all here."

"Then we're going back now, by the way, when you come to school next Monday, remember to make a review."

"Ah..." There was a sound of wailing and sighing in the carriage, and the previous happiness and relaxation also dissipated.

"I have to write again, woo..." the children complained, but they had to think hard, and some even started to take out a small notebook to write down what they saw today, so as not to forget it when they went back.

————

Southern Territory, South Reef Harbor.

This is a small town in the south of the Jade Star Union. The port in the city is not big, and only a few passenger ships stop here.

Today, a rare white passenger ship sailed into the quiet U-shaped bay and then docked on the shore.

"Go this way, mother, please be careful." A blond middle-aged man helped a brunette old woman out of the cabin, and then slowly disembarked along the steel steps.

"It's okay, Hells." Although the old woman was a little hunched, she still looked healthy, but her legs and feet seemed to be a little old, so she needed to be careful when going down such a steep staircase.

Step by step, the old lady walked up the stairs under the nervous eyes of her family and came to the ground of the port. She looked around and stared for a long time, her eyes full of nostalgia.

"What is grandma looking at?" A fifteen-year-old boy came to her side and asked curiously.

"I'm looking at this familiar place, Shadia." She stroked the boy's head with a slightly withered hand, and said slowly.

"Grandma was born in this southern border when she was a child, but later

Leave. "

"Well, I heard from my father before that there was civil strife in the Western Continent, and our family moved to the east at that time."

"Yes, yes..." The old woman spoke slowly while stroking the child, there seemed to be a thousand emotions in her eyes.

Just as the two were standing there and talking slowly, the middle-aged man walked over.

"I've already called and they said they'll pick us up right away."

"Are you bothering him again? I've told you that it's best not to do this. Our family is in a special situation. It's best to break up the previous relationship." The old woman shook her head.

"I know, mother, but no matter what, I still have to report to the Cuixing United. After all, the situation is special, otherwise it will be a bit impolite." I also understand that in the end, I had to sigh helplessly, approving his behavior.

"Then wait a little longer." After she finished speaking, leaning on a cane, she walked slowly on the boulevard by the port.

"Do you see that apple tree over there?"

"I saw my mother, what's wrong."

"When we were young, we had an apple orchard at home. I often went to play in it. It is said that I met your father because of an unintentional picking of apples." As the woman spoke, her voice stopped again.

"How did my father meet my mother? I've never heard you tell me before." At this time, the middle-aged man also became very curious, because he had never dared to ask about the past, for fear of letting his mother know. Sad, it's rare that she took the initiative to mention it today.

"Then..." The old woman looked at the apple tree in the distance, thinking of that bright and distant summer.

…

"I jumped from the tree and was picked up by your grandpa, and that's when we met."

"Wow, the meeting between grandma and grandpa was so romantic. Oh, I wish I could meet such a cute girl." The grandson on the side listened attentively, eyes full of envy.

"Hehe, you, if you can find a girl who treats you sincerely, grandma will feel at ease. Just listen to this kind of romantic thing once in a while, don't be too obsessed." Grandma said as if she had come here.

After a pause, she continued, "However, things were not so lucky and romantic later on."

"What happened?" The boy was very curious.

"Don't ask, Shadia." The father beside him stroked his head and made a silent gesture.

"Hmm..." Although he didn't know why, but seeing his father like this, and some things he occasionally knew before, the boy quietly closed his mouth.

"Hey, it's nothing, I can see it now." The old woman shook her head.

"Later, your grandfather died young, and I had to flee with your father because of the sudden change in the situation in the empire. I met many people to help, and some of them died on the road because of this." She sighed.

"Although they are for their own reasons or missions, they are all benefactors of our family no matter what. If you can find their descendants or family members in the future, Shadia, you should give more help."

"Yes, grandma!" The boy answered with a crisp voice.

"Okay, here comes the car."

At this time, they saw a line of white cars approaching in the distance, and then slowly parked in front of them. The body was white, and there was a fairywood badge with green background and white flowers on the door and front of the car.

"Welcome back, Ms. Lily Esther." Several staff members walked out of the car door and greeted them.

One month later, the former Baron Esther's manor is now a private residence.

It was the afternoon, and there were many children playing in the yard of the mansion, and many adults were sitting in the house. They gathered together to reminisce about the old days. Fruits and snacks were placed on the table, and a program was playing on the TV beside them. , there is music coming from it from time to time.

"This is Uncle Ruland's child, Aunt Lily." A woman squatted beside Lily, introducing her nephew in her forties.

"Oh, it's Brother Ruland's child, hello, I'm sorry, I'm getting old, I may not be able to remember for a while

Your appearance. "

"It's okay, Aunt Lily, your good health is everyone's happiness." The man in a suit with a big stomach squatted down nervously, so that the aunt could touch his face.

Although he is now a high-level executive of a chamber of commerce and has a lot of power outside, he still dare not have any pride in front of Aunt Lily, the legend of this family.

If there is no Aunt Lily, their family or himself, I am afraid that they are ordinary people who are unknown today, and they might disappear in the civil strife back then, but it is because of this aunt that their family can continue. , and was not treated harshly after the war.

Lily Esther, the last red queen of the empire, this legendary queen who was born as a commoner, is still spread in various film and television dramas and movies. After all, the story of Cinderella and the prince is always so attractive.

After the man's introduction, other people in the hall came over one by one to let Lily know, including her brother's children, her sister's grandchildren, and so on.

Esther's family has a large number of people. Lily was the youngest sister in the family back then, and she had three older brothers and two older sisters, so she has never had any pressure at home~IndoMTL.com~Parents also gave her a lot of love, and she has A very comfortable and happy childhood, which formed her pure and carefree character, and it was precisely this that made Edman fall in love at first sight with this innocent and lovely girl from the southern part of the empire.

Half a hundred years have passed in a trance, and after being away from her hometown for decades, she finally returned to this familiar place where she grew up.

Three days later, I sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Shadia for a walk by the river, talking to him about some childhood memories.

"See that grape field?"

"I see, Grandma."

“When I was very young, my father hugged me and said that this grape field would be reserved for me as my dowry. , and enjoy the shade under the trees by the river.”

Lily asked Shadia to push her closer to this green grape field, stroking the green and tender grapes with her fingers.

"Until now, I still often dream about this grape field and think of the summers I spent here."
