After a long time, Rachel slowly stopped her tears. After wiping away the tears, she suddenly became a little shy. Feeling embarrassed in front of her friends, she told Lorraine hill that she should not tell other people about today's affairs. Lorraine Hill agreed with a smile.
Everyone has black history. When he was young, he always had some extraordinary ideas and impulses, which is not a bad thing. It's just that some people give up their dreams and jump into the big dye vat of society. Then they laugh at those people who pursue their dreams as a past person. They think they are great and say that they have seen through the essence of society.
In all his life, Lorraine Hill hated this kind of person.
“Il n'ya qu'un héroïsme au monde : c'est de voir le monde tel qu'il est et de l'aimer.“ Romain Rolland.
There is only one kind of real heroism in the world, that is, to love life after knowing the truth.
---------------------
Two days later, in front of the city house.
"Not for a few more days, Lacey." Reggie watched the caravan of caritus chamber of Commerce loading goods and luggage in an orderly way, ready to start, some reluctant, looking at this friend in front of her eyes, although she only knew him for a few days, it seemed that she met a bosom friend.
Among her peers, her brother is busy with business or other things all year round, and other girls in the city of Cen and the circle basically care about what brother is wearing, perfume, clothes and so on. Occasionally a few can point musical instrument, that is a wonderful thing.
After all, this is the atmosphere of the Vilga business alliance. The whole country is heavy on profits, and everything is money oriented. Only a few coastal cities have cultural and entertainment industries, and most of them are artless and elegant, just to decorate their identities.
In terms of literature and drama, the most prosperous is the verdant Empire, followed by the holy land, whose religious opera is also famous in the mainland.
"I'm sorry, Rachel. I have to go to Hopland this time. I have a lot to do. Let's get together next time. This is for you. " Lorraine Hill handed Rachel a velvet box to open when she went back.
"See you next time, then."
Lorraine hill stood in front of the carriage, dressed in a light dress, the sun shining sparsely on her hair through the thick shade of the trees. With gusts of summer wind blowing along the street, she pressed the sun hat on her head to keep her hair from being blown away. Her long hair floated in the wind, and then waved goodbye to her friend.
After two days of trimming and replenishment, all members of caritis chamber of commerce also got a good rest, and today they set out again.
With the draw of the whip, the team began to start slowly, and finally slowly disappeared outside the city gate.
Rachel stood in front of the mansion, watching Lorraine Hill's carriage go a long way before turning back.
Jerinke looked at her daughter a reluctant look, the mood is a bit complicated. Will the next generation of callitus and agattilin continue their friendship? Is this new friend her daughter knows good or bad.
It all depends on Miss Lacey's performance in Hopland.
On the carriage, Lorraine Hill asked, looking out of the window at the ever-changing landscape.
"How many goods have you got in at the agtyline's this time?"
"According to your previous orders, we mainly purchased some portable pearls and jewelry this time, and the rest were only food and materials for the road." Chelsea began to report the number of goods they were carrying.
"Well, try to travel light. Since the other side dares to attack Angus at the border, they will attack us at home."
"I don't know what they are for, but we do what they don't want us to do. If they want calitus to fall, we can't fall. If they stop this time, they will take another action. After a long time, it will be clear what they are for. "
In this way, the caravan of caritus chamber of Commerce passed a few days smoothly, and it was getting closer and closer to Hopland.
More than a dozen carriages went along the road halfway up the mountain. The wind came from the mountains, and some leaves were rolled up by the wind and flew up on the road.
Looking at the sky with thick clouds, Lorraine Hill had a premonition that it might rain heavily tonight. When others didn't pay attention, the faint light in her pupils turned, and the extraordinary sequence changed from demon sequence to natural sequence. Then close your eyes and listen to the nature nearby.
After a while, her eyes opened, showing some concern, thinking for a while, and then knocked on the front of the car partition.
"Can I help you, madam?" From ahead came the voice of the housekeeper Ceres.
"Let the team stop at the corner ahead, which is relatively flat, and then stay here for the night."
"Don't you go on? You can turn three hills to Huangye town. It's safer there, and the living conditions are much better."
"No, stop right here." Lorraine Hill's tone was firm.
"All right, at your disposal." Then Ceres called a few riders nearby and told them to tell the team ahead to stop here.
Several riders in armor trotted out on the mountain road. As the front team received the order, the whole team slowly stopped, and then began to lead the carriage to the side of the road and set up camp.
Some went to the nearby woods to get some firewood, while others began to build tents.
Lorraine Hill also stepped down from the carriage and looked around. It was just a relatively flat place on the hillside, with the road on one side and the bottom of the mountain on the other.
After she looked at it for a while, she asked her men to lead the carriage to the open space and separate the road from the open space in two rows. Then she asked people to prepare some thick logs, which were tied with ropes to make wooden fences, and put them in front of and behind the road to seal the passage.
"What are you doing, miss?" Chelsea look a little puzzled, so layers of cards, is ready to fight against the enemy, but how does Miss Lacey know there will be an enemy coming?
"Well, I don't know if the other party will act tonight, but I'm prepared." Lorraine Hill looked up at the dark sky. There were cool and humid air in the wind. The rain was coming and the wind filled the building.
Then she called over the captains of the jockeys of the chamber of Commerce and divided them into two parts. They took turns to have a rest tonight, and they had to wear armor when they went to bed.
After thinking for a while, she was still a little worried. She took out her two boxes of blood activating potions and gave them three to each team leader. She told them to be extra careful tonight. If any team member was injured, she would drink one. As long as it's not a fatal injury, you can basically save your life.
"Thank you, Miss Lacey!"
After several captains got the medicine, they were grateful, and then carefully put it away and put it in the package. When they walk outside all year round, they naturally understand the value of extraordinary medicine. In this era of no hospital and extremely poor treatment conditions, this medicine is likely to represent a life. This is not a joke, but a valuable experience from the tip of the knife.
Although they all worked hard with money, the young lady's behavior was like a warm heat flowing in their hearts. The concern revealed in those clear eyes moved the riders a little. In this country where interests are heavy and people are indifferent, such sincere care is precious.
After everything was ordered, it was completely dark. A big bonfire rose and a group of people began to cook food. Dried meat and potatoes are cooked into thick soup, and then the dry flour cake is dipped in the soup, or directly torn into the soup to soften. This is the rider's dinner. As the firewood crackled, bursts of fragrance began to spread around the fire.
"Miss, your dinner is ready."
While Lorraine hill was still thinking about what else to prepare and plan ahead, the voice of Chelsea came from her side and told her that dinner was ready for the carriage.
"Don't bother, just bring it."
"That's not good. There are too many people here..."
Although Chelsea is not the maid of a noble family, she knows a lot about the rules and etiquette. It is not suitable for unmarried noble ladies to eat in front of a large group of men.
Lolan hill, sitting in front of the campfire, looks up and looks at the scene. The riders in twos and threes are cooking soup in tins, squatting on the ground and eating bread, just like the construction site of previous lives.
"Well, leave me the bread and share the rest of the fruit and the barbecue."
Chelsea is still a little reluctant, which seems to be against her usual maid principle.
"Don't worry, sister Chelsea. Do as I say."
"Okay..."
Then Chelsea cut the fruit and barbecue from Lorraine Hill's plate and gave them to the riders, while the girl sat by the fire eating the bread. In fact, she won't do well if she doesn't eat for a few days. The endurance and physical strength of an extraordinary person are not comparable to those of ordinary people. Besides, she is still a very special kind.
There was no accident after dinner. The mountain road was still very quiet. No tourists passed by. Maybe it was because it was going to rain soon. Everyone stopped. In this way, the riders took turns to rest in two groups according to the previous arrangement.
Late at night, there were seven or eight guards guarding the campfire. Snoring came from the tent nearby. At this time, big raindrops began to fall from the sky. After a while, the rapid rain poured down from the sky.
The bonfire was soon put out, and all around it fell into darkness. Only the sound of rain beating leaves could be heard.
At this time, Loran hill in the tent suddenly opened his eyes and said, "is it finally here?"
The sound of horse's hooves came from the distance of the mountain road, but it was very secret and treacherous under the cover of the sound of rain and water in the mountains.
