Chapter 198 The Last Female Witch (3)
Gypsies are a natural nomadic people, without their own land or country.
They drove caravans, had no fixed place to live, and wandered around.
Both men and women can sing and dance well and are passionate and unrestrained.
The woman that Tokiho met was a very typical gypsy.
Her name is Zimina.
She is about the same age as the widow that Tokiho possessed.
She was wearing brightly colored clothes and lots of exaggerated jewelry.
She has thick black curly hair and wheat-colored skin.
She has a fit and strong body and walks barefoot regardless of winter or summer.
Qimina has a high nose and deep eyes. Her amber eyes are big and bright, but covered with a layer of mist, giving her a distant and mysterious feeling, full of exotic characteristics.
She is already very charming and stunning without any makeup.
"Thank you for saving me! But you are a local, right? Why did you do this?"
Qi Mina is very straightforward and speaks to Shi Sui without any politeness.
It's normal for her to have such doubts...
The status of Gypsies is very low and they are as marginal as can be.
Their group was a mixed bunch, some were musicians and hawkers, while others made a living as beggars, thieves and prostitutes.
In addition, they are free-spirited and informal by nature, which is considered by local residents to be uncultured and impolite, and they are often driven away.
Of course, the main conflict between the Gypsies and the locals is still the issue of faith.
Zimina asked Shisui bluntly, "You actually attacked the clergy. Are you a so-called pagan like me?"
"Guess?" Shisui did not give a direct answer.
Saving Zimina was just a matter of convenience.
Unless he gets some useful information from her in the future, Shisui won't have much communication with her.
It was completely dark.
The men who were chasing Zimina were injured and could only flee back to the village as soon as possible, cursing.
The howling of wolves could be heard in the distance.
The enthusiastic and outgoing Qimina took Shisui's hand and led her to the other side of the woods.
"No matter who you are, come and dance and drink with us tonight~"
Tokiho asked back, "You guys?"
"The news of the arrests has been so intense recently that a few of my companions and I have temporarily moved into a place further inside."
Zimina is quite agile and is used to moving in the dark in the woods.
After walking a long way, Shisui finally saw a little fire through the layers of branches and leaves.
It was the caravan of Zimina and her companions.
There were about five or six women, including an elderly woman with white hair and wrinkles on her face, a middle-aged woman, and a young girl who was still in the growth spurt.
There is no direct blood relationship between them. They just got to know each other during their wandering and gathered together temporarily. They may go their separate ways at any time.
They had no suspicion of Tokisui, a strange woman dressed as a local, and did not ask about her background.
Instead, they clapped their hands rhythmically and sang songs to welcome her.
The small fire was lit, not for warmth or barbecue, but purely for...
"Look what good stuff I brought back from the village!"
Zimina cheered and lifted her skirt.
There were several bottles of wine tied to both sides of her thighs.
"Wow! I've been waiting for you to bring it back!"
The others laughed loudly and rummaged through the caravan, finding some cups and a small copper pot.
Zimina untied the bottle from her leg, boldly bit open the cork with her teeth, poured the wine into a copper pot, and put it on the fire.
This fire is specially used to heat wine.
As the temperature in the pot slowly rises, the wine releases a sweet and sour aroma.
Zimina threw some cinnamon, fruit, and some unknown spices into the pot, then picked up a small branch and poked it into the pot to stir.
The pink wine was bubbling.
Tokiho picked up the bottle that had been thrown on the ground.
It is marked: "Santa Cruz Hacienda"
This wine was brewed by the noble lord in the village.
Tokiho asked Zimina, "Did you steal this from the lord?"
"Yeah! Why else would I be targeted?"
Qimina readily admitted it, poured the hot wine into a cup, and handed it to Shisui.
"So it's so easy to enter and exit a noble lord's house?" Shi Sui continued to ask.
"This is a long story..." Zimina distributed the wine to everyone else. "Come on, let's drink first! Alcohol is the best medicine in the world!"
Everyone raised their glasses and laughed heartily together.
One played the ukulele, another the snake flute, and the others swayed their bodies around the fire.
Even the white-haired old woman started dancing and singing.
Their smiles were pure, as if they had no worries or fears worth mentioning.
Gypsy women were actually the group of "witches" initially identified by the church.
They traveled around, enjoyed gatherings for singing and dancing, cooked medicinal soups to treat illnesses, and used crystal balls to predict good and bad luck.
All of these were considered "witchcraft" that violated religious doctrine.
…Tokiho drank the wine in her hand in one gulp.
It was warm and tasted good.
She smiled and said, "Everyone is so happy, so I'll show you a little trick."
"Great!" everyone cheered.
"Don't blink your eyes~"
Shisui placed the wine glass in front of the fire, raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
In just a moment... the empty glass was filled with wine for no reason!
A big transformation of wine was staged~
“Wow! This is amazing!!”
Qi Mina hugged Shi Sui's arm like a fangirl.
She picked up Shisui's wine glass and took a sip without hesitation: "It tastes different from the wine I brewed! How did you do it?! Teach me, teach me!!"
Tokiho smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
The old woman sitting in the caravan raised her hand and pointed at Shi Sui, shouting with her dry lips: "You are a witch!"
