When Loran Hill arrived at the market, it was still morning and there were not many people here.
Some disciples looked at the girl holding a light yellow bird with a touch of curiosity. Many disciples in the sect raised beasts and exotic animals, but most were beasts or dragon subspecies. Birds were indeed rare.
"Refilica, I'm here." When she stepped into the store, there was no one in front of the counter. The girl called out softly and walked to the back of the store because Refilica usually sat there.
In her words, sitting there, she can quietly drink tea, read a book, or take a nap without being seen by passers-by. It is very quiet and comfortable. If someone enters the store, she can also detect it, so there is no need to worry about missing things.
After passing several wardrobes, Loran Hill reached the back of the shop and saw the witch in the red dress, leaning back in a chair for a nap. Her long golden hair cascaded down from her waist, swaying slightly in the breeze from the window. Outside, the world was bustling with sunlight, while inside, it was much quieter, with only the gentle rustle of the curtains rustling in the breeze.
The girl did not wake up the witch immediately, but sat on another chair beside the small table with Dai Ju in her arms, looking curiously at the open book on the table.
This book does not talk about any cultivation, but introduces many experiences in dye mixing. It seems that the paper is not the yellow mulberry paper produced locally in Huilu Island, but white paper with a light green tint.
"Plum green, eggplant purple, sumac red, sky and water blue, mugwort green..." Loran Hill recited the names of these colors in his heart and gradually became curious.
The raw materials used in these dyeing processes are varied and the techniques used are also different. Some of them even have requirements for time and temperature.
As she was looking at the words on the pages, Refilica beside her also woke up.
The beautiful witch yawned, looked at Loran Hill in front of her, and gradually woke up after a while.
"It's little Lacey. Are you interested in dyeing cloth? Do you want to work for me? I can teach you."
"It's impossible to work." The girl shook her head and continued as she looked at the witch in complicated clothes.
"I'm happy to help." After all, he accepted the gift, and Loran Hill was indeed interested in dyeing cloth.
"Really?" Refilica was a little surprised that the girl agreed so easily today.
As they interacted with each other over this period, she began to understand Loran Hill a little better. Although this young witch was young, she had a very clear understanding of many things and no desires. She always had a calm and still appearance.
"Well, I used to spin yarn myself. There was no pigment at that time, so it was always white. Although I like white very much, after wearing it for a long time, I occasionally want to try other colors." said Loran Hill.
"It's great that little Lacey can spin." Refilica straightened up her lazy posture as if she had found a soulmate.
"Can I see what kind of cloth little Lacy spins?"
"This is not available at the moment. Let's wait for a while and see if there is suitable material." She thought about it and decided to find suitable cotton to make improvements.
In the next few days, Loran Hill stayed with Refilica, learning how to dye fabrics using various flowers, roots, and grass leaves.
Time passes slowly, the short autumn passes quickly, the weather gradually turns colder, and the winter solstice is about to arrive.
"Jia Lan, can you help me?" One day, when Loran Hill was in Refilica's shop, Su Ye ran over.
"What's wrong?" She looked up at her senior sister.
"Today is the day when the mountain gate is opened. Many newcomers are about to enter. I am a little overwhelmed to accommodate them all, so I would like to ask for your help."
Su Ye spent most of the second half of the year in the market, assisting Uncle Lian Yin with various affairs, and would continue until the end of the year. It had been fine for a while, with not many new arrivals, but with the mountain gates opening soon approaching, the number of visitors had increased, and she and several other disciples were a little overwhelmed.
"Okay." Loran Hill nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to Refilica and Su Ye and walked out.
"Wait." When she was about to go out, Refilica called out to Loran Hill, then took out two light-colored thin belts and gave them to the girl.
"What is this?" Loran Hill looked at the two thin straps curiously.
"Wear it on your wrist. It will be useful at the critical moment. This is my unique secret recipe." The witch blinked after she said this and emphasized the word "unique secret recipe".
"Also, I will be away for a while. I have to go meet an old friend from far away." After saying this, the witch elder waved her hand and said goodbye to Loran Hill.
Looking at the two thin strings on his wrists, one light red and the other light blue, Loran Hill nodded to Refilica and wished her well: "Have a safe journey and remember to come back safely."
Although Refilica is a witch, her current strength is only Sequence 6, so it is not necessarily safe for her to walk outside.
"Thank you for your kind words." Refilica smiled, then remembered something.
"I'll give you another gift later. You'll know in a few days." After saying that, the witch lifted her skirt and bowed, then gradually retreated into the dim shop.
Watching the witch's farewell, Loran Hill felt a sudden palpitation in his heart, as if recalling a scene from his memory.
"Wait a moment, Senior Sister Su Ye."
She stood there, completely still, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her eyes closed.
After a long time, the girl opened her eyes again. There was still bright starlight in her pupils that had not completely dissipated, and the original feeling of palpitations slowly subsided.
