She Is Not a Witch

Vol 2 Chapter 34: Encounter at night market

Lorrain Hill walked out of the courtyard with curiosity and came to the outside of the inn. At this moment, the streets were already full of parade crowds.

The fish-shaped lanterns on the street look like a long dragon. The outside is made of fireproof gauze. The color is like a goldfish red tail. A long pole at the bottom lifts it, and the head of the long pole burns with a torch.

The huge fish shaped by fireproof gauze is lifelike. Its mouth opens. As the people below dance and move forward, air is poured in from it, and the torch inside illuminates it. Spilled sparks and flames are inside the big fish. Flowing, shining brightly and beautifully reflecting the whole body, with a kind of flowing beauty.

Accompanied by the sound of gongs, snare drums, horns, etc., people cheered and danced like flame big fish walking through the streets, surrounded by many adults and children watching the excitement, the faces illuminated by the flames also showed smiles, occasionally There were bursts of calls in response to the parade team.

The whole city is very lively even at night, and you can see vendors selling food and small items on the streets and alleys.

Lorrain Hill, who was also hungry, walked onto the street and was ready to buy something to eat.

"Balsamic golden bell crispy ~ a century-old flavor."

"Bright lantern shrimp ~ 2 silver rings a plate."

No matter what era, the style of street shouting is still so similar. Lorrain Hill walked on the side of the street and looked at the local food curiously.

The so-called bright lantern prawns is to burn the oil pan to 7 minutes, then put the prawns in, fry until red, then add green onion, ginger, cooking wine, salt, sugar, tomato sauce, add chicken broth, add mushrooms, and use low heat. Turn to the flavor, turn the heat, thicken with wet starch, turn over and place it in a lantern shape on the plate, press the tail of the shrimp with the lantern ear made of egg skin, and cover the shrimp head with mushrooms on the upper part of the lantern mouth. The remaining juice in the pot is splashed with oil and poured on it.

The small slap-sized plates are especially attractive under the orange lanterns.

Although there is no extraordinary power, its fragrance and gorgeous shape still firmly attract tourists from all over the world. Many people with a little spare money will buy it and try it.

"Bring me a plate." A burly man looked at it and put down two silver rings with his hand.

"Mom, I want to eat too." A child stretched out his hand and begged the mother beside him.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to buy..." The mother slowly approached.

Seeing the crowds in front of the booth, Lorrain Hill looked at it and decided not to squeeze, and instead walked to the other side of the booth, which was slightly less crowded.

"Would you like to have a golden bell, this lady." The hawker here seems to be a husband and wife. The man makes quick production on the one side, and the woman on the other entertains the guests.

"Well, give me a copy." Lorrain Hill handed out a silver ring.

It's a bit expensive, but most of the scenic spots are like this, she recalled the scene of traveling in her previous life.

"Okay~" The woman in her 30s accepted the money, and then talked to her husband next to her. Soon a copper bell that had been placed upside down in the furnace was taken out, and the copper bell was buckled on the wooden case. , And then uncovered, a golden baked pancake like a bronze bell appeared in front of the girl's eyes.

She touched it a little with her hand, it was still a bit hot, but the shell was very crispy and exuded a burst of fragrance.

"This is best eaten while it's hot." After speaking, the woman at the stall wrapped the part with thick paper and put it into the girl's hand.

"Okay thank you."

In this way, Lorrain Hill walked on the street with the crispy night food, and when it cooled down a little bit and no longer burned her mouth, she took off her veil, and then stood slightly under the archway in the street, watching the open space in front of it lit up. Set off fireworks.

Special small fireworks sprayed with sparks, whirled on the ground, rose slightly, and then fell again. Adults and children played in the open space of this square city.

Just as Lorrain Hill was eating quietly, a familiar voice slowly came over. It was the two brothers who had just seen him in the courtyard.

"Brother Jiao, is the festival so grand every time?" The two talked casually, and then approached the open space in the city.

"No, but the last festival was not held as scheduled, which is equivalent to a vacant period, so this time is so grand. After all, the last time it was held ten years ago, the locals also miss it."

"Oh, why was it last time..." the younger brother in white clothes, holding a folding fan, asked.

"That was a change of heaven and earth. At that time, one year ago, the highest practitioner in the world was only second-tier, and no one could preside over the ceremony." The senior brother looked up at the stars in the sky.

"In addition, in the past few years, many practitioners of the older generation have passed away, and many things are in danger of being lost, and the local factions are also flawless. He has taken care of it and has only now gradually eased down."

"But the maiden of this generation of Yuyan Red Ray Gate is said to be very beautiful, do you want to pursue it, haha." The brother laughed, his voice was bold and spread far away.

"Senior brother, don't laugh. I'm only at the fifth level now. The Yuyan Red Ray Gate is also the only door to Yanray Island, and ordinary people can't afford it." The younger brother on the side shook his head.

"Ha, you have to be ambitious, and you must be the best. I am still very optimistic about you. Many juniors in the door admire you very much. Besides, your background is not bad, but..." The brother Jiao patted his hand on the shoulder of the brother beside him.

"I naturally know myself..."

The brother's words suddenly lowered, and the brother on the side turned his head, saw him stunned, followed his gaze, and saw the girl sitting under the archway in the Fangshi.

Under the soft black hair is the face of Qingcheng, reflected by the rising fireworks, the tiny shadow of the eyelashes turns slightly as the fireworks rise, and as the fireworks dissipate, the face is plunged into the hazy night again, only beautiful The figure was illuminated by lanterns, leaving a soft figure on the ground.

"This..." Even the well-informed senior was slightly stunned, and then reacted.

"She's the girl who just came out of the inn where we stayed. I didn't expect the face of the veil to be so alluring."

"Would you like to go up and ask a few words." He encouraged the younger brother on the side.

"But..." This junior is still a little bit unwilling to let go, and he has never taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with a girl.

"What are you afraid of? You still come from Luo Jing's Zhou family, so be bolder."

Under the encouragement of this senior, the two slowly approached. At this time, Lorrain Hill also looked away from the fireworks blooming in the night sky and saw the two people.

"Hello, young lady, next week, Jianyi will come from the Huang Su Sect of Xuanyuan Zhou." The younger brother in white introduced first.

"In Xiajiao Fenghan, like this one, I come from the Huang Su faction. I was fortunate to meet the young lady here. Did you come here to watch the ceremony too?" The senior bowed his fist and bowed slightly, and then introduced himself.

"It just happened to be here, ready to go back to Luzhou." Lorrain Hill replied.

"That's it, the journey back to Luzhou is very long if you don't go there," Jiao Fenghan said.

"Why do you say that? I see that Yanyazhou is no more than two continents apart on the map." The girl was a little puzzled.

"That’s not the case. This lady may not know that, to the west of Yanyazhou, there are Suiyan Mountains. There are many volcanoes in this area, so most people who want to go to Huiluzhou will take a horse-drawn carriage detour from the north side of He Xingzhou and Mushan. The continent goes around."

"In this way, coupled with the rugged rotation of the mountain road, it will take about half a year to reach Huiluzhou."

"Then is there any quicker way?" Lorrain Hill discovered that the deadline left by Chiwu contained a test.

"Hurry up, only look through the volcano or fly over."

"But looking through the volcano and flying past are both dangerous." Junior Brother Zhou also added.

"The elders in my family have recorded that in the Suiyan Mountains, there are many firebirds and monsters, as well as barbaric aliens. As the situation changes today, the security in remote areas is not very good, it is very dangerous, let alone you still One person..." When he was about to continue to add, he patted his shoulder with a palm and interrupted it for a while.

"So, in my opinion, this lady might as well stay in Yanyazhou for a few more months, and then wait for the huge boat from Hanshan Yanxingmen to come over and ride the huge boat over the Suiyan Mountains. This is more appropriate."

"In this case..." the girl counted the time in her heart, and then continued to ask.

"When will the giant boat at the Goose Line Gate come over?"

"It will arrive in October, and according to the time, we will also take the giant boat back to Xuanyuanzhou." Jiao Fenghan added.

"And the girl doesn't have to be so anxious. Now the festival is approaching, and the mountain has been sealed in Yanray Island. If it is unblocked, you will have to wait for the festival to end in three days, and it will not be too late to leave."

"That's it..." Later, Lorrain Hill asked about the flight speed and time schedule of the boat.

If you wait for the huge boat to arrive and take it to return to Luzhou, it is estimated that it will arrive in the second half of December, and it will be only a few days before the winter solstice. If there is any delay in the way, she will miss the entrance time.

After analyzing for a while, Lorrain Hill raised his head.

"Thank you both for your notification, but I still don't wait for the giant boat."

"But..." The Junior Brother Zhou wanted to continue to say, changing the girl's reckless thinking, but Jiao Fenghan on the side continued to interrupt his words.

"Then wait for the festival before leaving."

Hearing this situation, Lorrain Hill nodded, but it was not in a hurry for three days.

Several people talked for a while, and Lorrain Hill saw that the pedestrians on the street were gradually sparse, and said goodbye for the time being, and went back to the inn to rest first.

After the girl walked far away, the Junior Brother Zhou asked about the seniors beside her.

"Why don't you let me persuade this young lady to know how dangerous it is to walk through the Suiyan Mountains alone."

"Huh, Junior Brother, I don’t understand it. From my point of view, that girl has a good opinion of you, otherwise she wouldn’t be so amiable. But girls, she must be somewhat reserved. If she agrees with your proposal so easily, this Doesn’t it seem that she can easily get it. This way she won’t be cherished by others."

"Moreover, didn't we introduce ourselves just now. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that many of the Huangshu faction are relatives of the emperor. After the clan, she must be clear in her heart."

"So, in my opinion, anyone with a bit of mind must know the danger of entering the Suiyan Mountains at this time. She said this is a special opportunity for you to show. Otherwise, after asking, she immediately promised to stay during the festival. Coming down."

"This must be a hint to you. Alas, girls are like this, with crooked minds and more complicated." The senior said in the tone of a person who came over.

"You deserve to be brother, brother admires it." The white-clothed brother admired him and looked at the brother with admiration.

"Hehe, where, did the younger brother fall in love with this young lady at first sight?" The two walked down the street and talked, then sat down at a noodle stall and ordered the famous local red oil dragon beard noodles.

"this..."

Seeing that the brother on the side was still hesitating, the brother started to agitate again.

"Don’t be shy, pretty lady, the skirt is so beautiful, this is normal. In my opinion, this lady should be the kind of girl who rarely goes out, but has a good tutor. You only need to use your profound knowledge and family background inadvertently. Show it out, whisper, she will definitely be attracted to you."

"That's it, Junior Brother admires it."

"Where, I picked nine hundred safflowers in the back mountain of the door for quite a few years, and put them in a flower basket to the fairy Li of the Youlanzong next door, which moved people..."

"Awesome. Then why didn't I see Senior Brother and Fairy Li together later."

"Hmph, it's the master of Youlanzong, that is, the master of Fairy Li, who blocked it. In the end Fairy Li had to wave goodbye to me, saying that this was God's will."

"I couldn't be mad at the time, so I went to the Honored Master to comment again. Unfortunately, after listening to the Master, he not only didn't help me, but also kept me in confinement for several months, saying that I can't afford to be embarrassed. ."

The two sat at a noodle stall next to the street at night, eating noodles, and discussing how to pursue girls. After the noodle hawker sat down, they listened to their conversation and shook their heads secretly, thinking that the two of them were inferior to their village. The old man in the head knows amorous feelings.

It seems that the practitioner is nothing more than that, he sighed aside.

"Father, we are back." A childish voice came from the side. The peddler turned and saw his two children running over. Not far away, a woman approached slowly with a smile.

"Have fun today?" He knelt down and hugged his two children.

"Happy~"

Seeing that his two children were still holding Sugar Man in their hands, he touched his head with affection, and then got up.

"Two people go slowly." The two who had finished eating the dragon's beard noodles also got up and walked towards the residence.

On both sides of the street, the hanging lanterns still emit light.

Three days later, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com flame ray festival arrived as scheduled.

With lights and colorful lights in the state city, Lorrain Hill also walked on the street with people, walking towards the city's sacrificial ceremony. The two brothers, Yizhuang and Yishou, also followed her and walked towards the center of the venue.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Yanyazhou City. Except for half of them were locals, more were practitioners from nearby regions or prefectures and counties.

They stood on the periphery of the festival scene in the city, talking noisily, and then waiting nervously expectantly.

Lorrain Hill looked at the virtual screen in his field of vision with a little curiousity this time.

Task: Participate in the festival of flame rays and fully experience the process of the festival. (simple)

Reward: Get an insight into the flow of dragon veins and a secret book of [Yuyan Red Ray Gate].

After so many years, this system seems to play a guiding role again, guiding Lorrain Hill to understand and experience this colorful world.
