Chapter 44 Lucky Wind Chime
“His – it’s so cold…”
Fruit entrance, initially some Bitterness, with chewing, turns into a touch of sweet and sour, and a special fragrance. During his breath, a strong cold feeling came from his mouth.
Unlike other Ice Attribute fruits, the coolness of this fruit seems to be purely due to its taste.
“It’s not very tasty…”
The little girl’s face wrinkled, she ate up the fruit in her hand, and then looked at the remaining bunch of fruit, a little embarrassed.
“Annie, help me get rid of this.”
Fiona Lake blue rolled her eyes and quickly shoved the remaining fruit into Annie’s hand.
Anne gently laughed, took the fruit that the girl didn’t want to eat anymore, held it in her hand, and accompanied the girl to continue walking down the alley.
The few people who just gathered didn’t disturb the young girls. Before they could enter the alley, they were quickly found by a team of city guards who came from nowhere.
Several waves of magic power flashed by, and the completely unprepared people were suddenly paralyzed, and were skillfully carried away by the guards in pairs.
Besides, there are also special people to keep ignoring the Formation to avoid causing too much commotion.
The whole process took less than half a minute. With the departure of the last tail guard, except for a few people suddenly evaporated at the entrance of the alley, it seemed that nothing had happened.
Professional team, professionalism—
Soon, the guards came up with the results of the interrogation, but they were just a few small-eyed alien thieves. They came to Karlas and saw that it was very prosperous, so they became greedy and planned to get a few votes here.
As they succeeded a few times, their courage grew. Seeing the bulging purse in the girl’s hand and no guards beside her, she couldn’t help but despise it, thinking it was just two noble girls who sneaked out to play.
But I don’t want to choose the wrong person and hit the wrong person.
What awaits them next will be an incomparably long prison—
The quiet alley is not long, the two of them walk and watch, and they will soon approach. to the other end of the alley.
“Annie, look, what is that? It’s like an owl and a swift squirrel!”
Walking, Fiona stopped, and her eyes were drawn to a stall by the roadside past.
There are many exquisite straw weaving items on the booth. There are some common decorative items such as small animals, small dolls, and small carriages, as well as some practical items such as straw sandals and baskets.
The colors are light white, beige and brown, all of which are the primary colors of hay.
“That’s straw, miss. A craft made of hay.”
Anne took a look and explained to Fiona.
This is some pretty weird stuff.
Fiona thought, this is the first time she has seen this thing in straw.
Before, she had only read the introduction of witches’ straw in books. They are said to act like real animals and are good scouts.
“Anything you need? Two lovely ladies.”
The stall owner is a white-haired Old Lady. On the stool, she raised her head and looked towards the two of them, showing a kind smile.
Besides there is a little boy with reddish brown hair, he is wearing a slightly loose burlap clothes, he seems to be the grandson of the old man.
He sits cross-legged on the ground like an old man, learning to weave a simple straw doll out of two-color hay. It can be seen that he has studied very hard, and his blushing face has faintly sweated.
Hearing the voice, the little boy also raised his head, his smart black eyes swept over the two of them, and then paused on the fruit in Annie’s hand, quietly swallowed saliva and said. Then he lowered his head again and worked hard to weave the straw in his hand.
Fiona gently picks up an owl straw and examines it carefully.
This straw is about the size of two fists, with brown hay as its back feathers and wing feathers. The abdomen is woven from pale white hay, interspersed with strands of brown hay.
The cheeks are subtly feathered with pale white hay, and two shiny Copper Coins are set in the eye sockets. A small branch is grasped on the brown claws, and the whole is beautiful and beautiful.
“Ladies, have you seen this owl woven from straw? It is made of sun-dried pules and bellflowers, and only needs 80 Copper Coins.”
The Old Lady watched Fiona’s movements with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
“Old lady, can this owl fly and chirp?”
Hearing Fiona’s question, Old Lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled and called the head.
“Haha, little girl, stop joking, how can a straw owl fly? Maybe those master mages have this ability, but old woman I don’t have this ability.”
“It won’t move…”
Fiona was a little disappointed when she heard what Old Lady said.
“Never mind, if you can’t fly, it’s boring.”
Fiona gently shocks the head and puts the straw down.
“Little girl, if you want flying straw, you shouldn’t come here. Look at the clothes of the two of you, shouldn’t you be an ordinary person? I don’t have anything related to professionals here.”
The old man looked at Fiona’s face with a smile, and she was slightly sorry.
“Actually, I want to choose a gift for my big brother, but I don’t know what to choose, so I just walked around and looked around.”
Fiona thought After thinking about it, he told the old man his purpose.
“Gift.”
Old Lady stood up tremblingly and picked up a pale white straw wind chime from the booth. Eight pale white straw ropes of different lengths hang from the bottom of the wind chimes, and a mangul tree fruit is tied under each straw rope. ①
“How about this lucky wind chime? It is made of bluebells that are naturally dried in the sun. It is said that hanging a wind chime like this under the eaves can bring good luck to people at home , very suitable as a gift.”
“Bringing good luck?”
Fiona was stunned for a moment, and took the wind chimes handed over by the old man. The wind chimes themselves have a pleasant smell of sunshine, and the drooping mangul fruit collides gently, making a slight clicking sound.
“Well, well, let’s have a wind chime like this.”
The girl looked at it and didn’t feel anything special, still couldn’t reach her Heart gift standard. But she was kind-hearted and didn’t want to spoil the old man’s good intentions, so she decided to buy this wind chime.
“Aren’t you satisfied? Don’t be reluctant, kind little girl.”
Old Lady was keenly aware of Fiona’s thoughts, and kindly laughed to her.
“Did you know? little girl, this lucky wind chime is actually related to a legend that is circulated privately among our straw weaving artists.”
As he spoke, the old man turned Turning around, he took a piece of pale white hay from the basket beside the little boy and handed it to Fiona.
“This is the bluebell, a very common weed. You can find their silhouettes almost anywhere in the fields, along the streams, in the mountains.
Every year Between the Fei Yuyue and the Golden Moon, they will bloom small flowers like white wind chimes. The number of flowers is usually between seven and fourteen. ②
But if you walk into a field In the field of bluebells, little girl, you will find that most bluebells have ten, twelve and fourteen flowers.
Maybe you can occasionally see seven, Eight, eleven, and thirteen bellflowers.
But only nine bellflowers, even if you search the whole field, you may not be able to see—”
①: A kind of pine cone-like fruit with a relatively hard texture.
