She Is Not a Witch Chapter 26: Back to Minze
The early morning mist shrouded the lush mountains and forests, bringing some coolness to the skin.
Lorraine Hill lightly stepped on the fallen leaves and tree roots in the forest, walking through this remote and silent rolling mountain.
This is in the depths of Min Zezhou, where there are few people around. Often there is only one caravan riding tall prison oxen, dragging boxes of heavy goods, to and from the depths of the water lake and the forest for several months.
There are many moss and silt in the water pool and mountain forest. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder and the air is cool. At the same time, there are no many annoying insects and ants, and it has become more comfortable.
The toes lightly stepped on the tree branch, bending it slightly, and then the girl in the white dress leaped up again, gliding a long distance in the wind, such a light posture like catkins or feathers in the wind .
Occasionally, some gray-brown squirrels and black-billed pheasants were seen moving in the forest. When the girl passed over her head, they were unaware, and they were still walking casually, looking for food in dead branches and grass.
In this way, following the memory in her mind, after turning over a high hill, her eyes suddenly opened up, and a Mizusawa plain hidden among the tall mountains came into the girl's eyes.
The high mountains of Qingdai are layered on top of each other, vaguely in the distance of clouds and mist. There are a few families at the foot of the mountain, and a few wisps of light cooking smoke are floating slightly, and occasionally there are a few barking sounds of dogs, which are mixed with the sound of the mountains. With the sound of yelling and grazing cows, this small village in memory is still so quiet.
This is a small village of the Yeyu clan. In the Qiilei Qizhou, there are actually many small clans like the Yeyu clan. Most of them have a small population. They are relatives of the same family.
Qiailei Qizhou is full of poisonous insects, snakes and ants. The sinister environment separates each gathering place, forming such a small clan with different accents, customs, and differences. In ancient times, this place was called Baiyue. The land, or the land of poisonous swamps, did not gradually gather people on this land until the phoenix came into the world, and gradually became alive.
Walking through the narrow ridge between the paddy fields, the dew on the green grass stained the clothes, and the small village surrounded by stones in the distance became clearer and clearer. As the village got closer and closer, Luo Lanxi While I still miss, I also feel slightly nervous, not knowing how Bai Zao is now.
Back then, when she woke up, she forgot a lot of things and became very weak. She could only rely on the help of Bai Qiu to walk out of this deep mountain. Looking back now, if she encountered bad people at that time, it would have been unimaginable. the consequences.
In this mountain village, she happened to meet a couple of local couples getting married, and then lived here for a period of time before waiting for the caravan to and from the deep mountains.
During this time, Baizao basically took care of her and taught her a lot about the outside world.
Before he left, Bai Zao told Lorraine Hill to come back and take a look, but it had been more than ten years since he didn't want to leave.
Go forward along the spacious mountain road in front of the village. The road under your feet is paved with fine gravel. People's houses on both sides of the road also appear in the field of vision. You can see one or two local villagers walking by. Some of them Carrying hoes or shoulder poles, some walked barefoot on the drying yard in front of their homes, turning the grains of grain, and occasionally heard the sound of firewood crackling and rooster crowing.
While passing by a house, a villager wearing a blue turban came over. His clothes were half untied, with a lot of grass clippings and dry mud on them, and a towel for wiping sweat was placed on his shoulders. The skin is a little tanned.
"Where did you come from, little girl? Did you get lost with the adults?" As soon as he opened his mouth, his thick voice almost spread throughout the small village, and many villagers came out curiously to have a look .
In this deep mountain, there are only a few dozen families. It can be said that they are very familiar with each other. Now a neatly dressed and good-looking girl suddenly came, which is indeed a new thing.
Although Lorraine Hill herself feels more mature, her sixteen or seventeen-year-old appearance is nothing more than a slightly older child in the eyes of the locals.
"I..." Some thoughts just turned in his mind, and Lorraine Hill was a little distressed about how to explain it.
"I'm here to find Sister Baizao, well, I came here a long time ago, and I received a lot of help from Sister Baizao."
"Oh, Sister Bai, you said this, I know, it should be someone that Sister Bai met outside, hahaha." As he said this, the uncle rubbed his head and laughed, as if to himself just now It's kind of embarrassing to ask suddenly.
Then he turned his head and shouted to the boys who were watching the fun on the hillside: "Hey, little Qingtou, go and call Big Sister Bai, this meeting should be at the back mountain spring."
"Hmph, call me again." Above, the ten-year-old child was full of displeasure, but he still trotted up the narrow mountain path built along the stone ladder.
"You just have to wait for this girl. Xiaoqingtou is the child of sister Baida, and he can call someone here in a while."
"Thank you, big brother." Lorraine Hill nodded his thanks as he did in the countryside, and then looked at the child on the mountain road who gradually disappeared into the shade of the trees.
Is it the child of Baizao's big sister? I remember that Baizao was married here at the time, so she shouldn't be her own sister, so she is her husband's sister.
Thinking about it, a clear-eyed and familiar girl appeared in Lorraine Hill's mind, who seemed to be called 'Xiangzi'.
Because there were few outsiders in the village, when Lorraine Hill was standing in the open space of the village and waiting, many villagers came over curiously to have a look. , it’s almost as clear as being in the ear.
Think off
"A good-looking girl, she looks like a child of a wealthy family."
"Did she come here alone, did she run away from home?"
"The color of the skirt is really white, and there is no dirt at all. How did you do it?"
"It should not be ordinary clothes. I heard that some powerful people in Minze can use polyester snow silk for spinning. Such fabrics are not stained with mud, and can easily remove dirt after washing with water."
"That one is quite expensive. My seventh uncle's family has been saving for many years before I got a skirt for my granddaughter. You must know that my seventh uncle is a powerful snake catcher from all over the world, and his strength is also at the fourth level. That's it. It took a lot of effort, and the color is not so white."
"It looks so small, this child is so beautiful, people can't take their eyes off."
Many people boasted and envied this young girl who had just arrived in the village. After hearing some of the words too much, Lorraine Hill was also a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, but this cute appearance aroused another Many people's words seem to have had the opposite effect.
Just when Lorraine Hill felt that the time had passed, he finally heard other voices approaching.
A slightly plump woman walked down the mountain path holding a large bamboo basket. Inside the bamboo basket were freshly cleaned fruits. It's still a little hard.
"Are you asking me to come?" She walked down the mountain path of the stone steps, put down the bamboo basket, and only then did she have time to look at the girl standing at the bottom of the hill.
"This is...Jialan?"
The appearance of Lorraine Hill has basically remained the same, and this rare appearance is always impressive, so Bai Zao recognized it immediately.
Looking at the girl who hadn't seen him for many years, Bai Zao showed a smile on his face, then walked down quickly and came to Lorraine Hill.
"Is it Jialan?"
"Yes, Sister Baizao, I'm back to see you." Lorraine Hill also responded happily.
"It's really a rare visitor. I thought you wouldn't come back. After all, Xiao Jialan is so beautiful, she might have married into a rich family." Bai Zao circled around Lorraine Hill, as if she wanted to get to know her again, He said with a teasing smile on his mouth, although his body was a little more mature than before, his personality was still the same.
"Come with me, are you here alone?" Bai Zao took Lorraine Hill's hand and walked up the hillside. Along the way, many villagers waved their hands kindly and asked Where did the guest come from? The little girl is so pretty.
When I returned to the wooden building on the mountainside, someone at home had already prepared tea, and the clear amber liquid was poured from the old teapot with a missing corner, with some tea leaves and flower petals floating in it, and a faint fragrance came , making people feel comfortable.
"You sit down first, I'll change my clothes, I sweated a bit just now." Bai Zao asked Lorraine Hill to sit in the lobby, put down the bamboo basket, and then walked into a room beside her.
When Lorraine Hill was sitting in the lobby, a few small heads appeared outside the door, and the children looked curiously at the guest who had just arrived in the village.
For these children who were staring at her with wide eyes, Lorraine Hill waved lightly, said "Hello~" and then she didn't know how to coax them. She has never been very good at dealing with children.
These children looked at Lorraine Hill waving, but did not respond. Perhaps they did not understand the words of greeting. The accent spoken by the locals was quite different from that of the outside world.
After a while, Bai Zao came out of the house, now wearing a light blue and white embroidered dress, looking a little cool and comfortable.
"You guys don't stay here now, come back later in the evening, there will be delicious food."
"Okay~ Aunt Bai is so nice~" After saying that, the children scattered and went to play elsewhere.
At this moment, the room became a little quieter before Bai Zao spoke to Lorraine Hill.
"Jialan doesn't seem to have changed at all, so she must have practiced a very powerful method."
Although for some villagers, Lorraine Hill's unchanging face is very novel, but for Baizao, such a thing is not difficult to understand. She had practiced in the Red Immortal Sect in her early years, and she had seen those powerful priestesses offering sacrifices, as well as some high-level envoys in the sect, many of whom maintained a youthful appearance.
"I have practiced some methods." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then talked about her experience after leaving Min Ze.
…
"I didn't expect to go to the door-to-door sect. It's really powerful." Bai Zao is a rare person in the village who has more experience. He knows how difficult it is to enter the door-to-door sect, and how terrifying its strength is.
"No wonder I haven't seen you back these years. At first I thought you had some accident and I was a little sad. Now it seems that the assessment in the faction is strict and there is not much time to go out." Hill automatically made up the experience of these years.
"Well, I've gone through a lot of things, so I just came back to see Sister Bai now." Lorraine Hill said shyly.
In other words, it has been nearly 20 years since she left this mountain village, went to Xiangyu School to study, and then came back from the Western Continent. , and the newly married sister Baizao is now in her thirties, almost forty years old.
Time flies, the girl is slightly emotional.
"How is Sister Baizao's life now?"
"I'm okay. This mountain village is not as rich and exciting as Jialan's experience. The daily life is relatively peaceful, and there have been some turmoil in recent years."
Bai Zao also talked about the changes in these years. After a few years of marriage, she had two children, but now the two children are not with her. I asked my former teachers and sisters to bring me to the Red Immortal Sect to practice.
"They are not like me, they are all very ambitious." Bai Zao said with a smile that he has two children.
Is the child so old? Hearing this, Lorraine blinked and felt a little surprised, but it seemed reasonable. The life of ordinary people is only a few decades, and time flies by, and everything changes look.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Now that Jialan is here, let me arrange the place for you to live in. I will spend the night here today. I will show you around tomorrow. You came here back then. At that time, I was just married at that time, and I was not familiar with it, and I didn’t know how to introduce it to you.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Zao took Lorraine Hill away from the three-story wooden building and headed to Shiqiong Building on the other side of the yard.
"I remember that night, you also lived in Qionglou. At that time, I asked Xiangyu to take care of you, because I was afraid that you would be afraid and didn't know the way by yourself." Bai Zao walked in Shiqionglou, talking about interesting things back then .
"Where is Xiangzi now?" The girl remembered the words of the villager in front of the village.
"Xiangzhi also got married, probably more than ten years ago, her husband is a good swordsman in the village, and now his home is on another mountainside not far from here, and he often comes to talk to me , bring something."
"The family she married is very powerful. In this mountain, there are not many people who can beat her husband. He has the strength of the fourth level."
"I see." Lorraine Hill nodded.
"By the way, I haven't asked Jialan yet, how many levels are you now, at least level 5? I feel that level 6 is also very possible, after all, it's a big school."
Bai Zao recalled the sporadic memories. In the Red Immortal Sect, the sixth rank is already a very powerful master. They are probably the true disciples of the sect, who can go out to stand alone. As for the seventh rank, they are all As the core figures of the sect, they are often the pillars of the sect, and the eighth rank is the level of the leader of the Red Immortal Sect.
Although the Red Immortal Sect is not a door-to-door sect, the Red Immortal Sect is the closest to the door-to-door sect in the Seven Continents of Qiilei. It's not the Red Immortal Sect, but the 'Chilian Immortal Sect'. There are countless disciples in the sect, even in the face of the Central Plains sect, they will not fall behind.
"Me..." Lorraine Hill hesitated a little, and decided to reveal some truth.
"Now is the seventh level of Qianlong Yimai~IndoMTL.com~ During the words, she lightly lifted her sleeves, and the agile flames on her wrists were entangled and converged like silk threads. After condensing in the palm of her hand, she turned into a vivid fire bird. When flapping the wings and wielding the magic power, the slowly dissipating heat wave also lifted the girl's hair slightly, like a temporary goddess, sacred and beautiful.
Even though she hadn't focused on her practice, Bai Zao was still amazed by the fire bird that was slowly emitting heat. Such a nimble operation technique, as well as the restrained and extremely concentrated energy in the fire bird, made her a little bit unbelievable.
I still underestimated Jialan from afar, it seems that it is expected that a girl who was like a banished fairy now has such strength?
"It seems that a distinguished guest came today."
Bai Zao slowly combed the long hair behind the ears with her hands, and slowly calmed down the surging emotions in her heart. It took a long time to look at the figure standing in front of the window sill again, dressed in a pure white dress, wearing a green pendant on her head Lorraine Hill.
Maybe it's better not to make too much noise tonight, it's better for Jialan to keep a low profile, otherwise this small courtyard of hers will be broken by the neighbors in the village. Thinking of this, Bai Zao stroked his forehead, feeling suddenly unreal.
