After a while, Rachel slowly stopped crying. After wiping away her tears, she suddenly became a little shy again. She felt that she had made a fool of herself in front of her friends, and she felt a little embarrassed and told Lorraine Hill not to expose her.
After telling others about what happened today, Lorraine Hill smiled and agreed.
Everyone has a dark history, and there are always some extraordinary thoughts and impulses when they are young, which is not a bad thing. It’s just that some people give up their dreams, jump into the big dye vat of society, and then behave like
As someone who has been through it, they laugh at those who pursue their dreams, and they think they are great, saying they have seen through the nature of society.
No matter in his past or present life, Lorraine Hill hated this kind of people.
"It's all about the world." Romain Rolland.
There is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to still love it after recognizing the truth of life.
--------------------------
Two days later, in front of the Kempe City Mansion.
"Don't you want to play for a few more days, Lacey?" Rachel watched the Carites Chamber of Commerce's fleet loading goods and luggage in an orderly manner and preparing to set off. She felt a little reluctant and looked at the friend in front of her longingly. Although she knew him well,
It had only been a few days, but it felt like I had met a close friend.
Among the peers around her, several of her brothers are away from home all year round, busy with business or other things. The other girls in the same circle in Kempe City basically only care about dressing up, perfume, clothes, etc. every day. Occasionally, some of them can play musical instruments.
, that is something extraordinary.
After all, the atmosphere of the Verga Business Alliance is like this. The entire country is profit-oriented and everything is focused on money. The cultural and entertainment industries are only found in a few big cities along the coast, and most of them are arty and used to decorate their status.
If we really talk about literature and drama, the most prosperous one is the Green Empire, followed by the Kingdom of the Holy Land. Their religious operas are also famous in the mainland.
"Sorry, Rachel. I have to go to Hopeland this time. There are a lot of things to do. Let's get together next time when we have time. This is for you." Lorraine Hill handed Rachel a velvet box.
, let her open it after she goes back.
"Well, see you next time."
Lorraine Hill stood in front of the carriage, wearing a light-colored dress. The sunlight passed through the shade of the dense trees and sparsely shone on her hair. As the summer wind blew along the street, she held her head
He kept his sunhat from being blown away by the wind, and his long hair fluttered in the wind, and then he waved goodbye to his friend.
After two days of repairs and replenishment, each member of the Kalites Chamber of Commerce also got a good rest and set off again today.
As the whip was whipped, the motorcade began to slowly start, and finally slowly disappeared outside the city gate.
Rachel stood in front of the mansion and watched Lorraine Hill's carriage go far away before looking back.
Seeing his daughter reluctant to leave, Jelinek felt a little complicated. Will the next generation of Carites and Agtilin continue their friendship? Is this new friend that his daughter has met good or bad?
bad.
Everything depends on Miss Lacey's performance in Hopeland.
In the carriage, Lorraine Hill looked at the receding scenery outside the window and asked.
"How many goods did you buy at Yagtilin's house this time?"
"According to your previous instructions, Miss, we mainly purchased some pearls and jewelry that are easy to carry this time, and the rest are only food and supplies needed for the road." Chelsea began to report the quantity of goods carried this time.
"Well, try to travel as lightly as possible. Since the other party dares to attack Angus at the border, they may also attack us at home."
"Although I don't know what they are for, we will do what they don't want us to do. They want Carites to fall, so we must not fall. If we stop this time, they will do it again.
Take action next time. As time goes by, you will naturally understand what they are for."
In this way, the Carites Chamber of Commerce's convoy spent a few days smoothly and got closer and closer to Hopeland.
More than a dozen carriages were driving along the road halfway up the mountain. There were gusts of wind in the mountains, and some leaves were picked up by the wind and flew up on the road.
Lorraine Hill looked at the sky covered with thick clouds, predicting that it might rain heavily tonight. When others were not paying attention, a faint light flashed in her pupils, and the extraordinary sequence changed from a demonic sequence to a natural sequence. Then she closed her eyes.
Start listening to the messages from nature nearby.
After a while, her eyes opened, showing a somewhat worried expression. She thought for a while, and then knocked on the car partition in front of her.
"Do you have any instructions, Miss?" came the voice of the butler Seres from the front.
"Let the convoy stop at the turning point ahead. That area is relatively flat, and then camp there and spend the night here tonight."
"Why don't you keep going forward? You'll reach Huangye Town after passing three hills. It's safer there and the living conditions are much better."
"No, just stop here." Lorraine Hill's tone was firm.
"Okay, I will follow your arrangements." Then Seres called a few riders nearby and asked them to tell the team in front to stop here.
Several riders in armor came out and started trotting on the mountain road with their horses. As the team in front received the order, the entire convoy slowly stopped, then began to lead the carriage to the roadside and set up camp.
Some people went to the nearby woods to get some firewood, while others started to build tents.
Lorraine Hill also got off the carriage and looked around. It happened to be a relatively flat place halfway up the mountain, with the road on one side and the bottom of the mountain on the other.
After looking at it for a while, she asked her men to pull the carriage to the open space and line it up in two rows to separate the road from the open space. Then she had some thick logs prepared and tied with ropes to make wooden fences and placed on them.
The openings for traffic were blocked at the front and rear of the road.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Chelsea looked a little puzzled. By setting up cards in this way, were you preparing to fight the enemy? But how did Miss Lacey know that there would be an enemy coming?
"Well, I don't know if the other party will take action tonight, but be prepared." Lorraine Hill looked up at the darkening sky. There were waves of cool and moist breath in the wind, and the storm was about to come.
.
Then she called over the squad leaders of the Chamber of Commerce riders and asked them to divide them into two groups and take turns to rest tonight. They should also wear armor and keep their weapons close to their bodies when sleeping.
After thinking about it for a while, she was still a little worried. She took out two boxes of [blood-activating potion] that she had with her and gave three pills to each team leader, telling them to be extra careful tonight and drink one potion if any team member was injured.
As long as the damage is not fatal, you can basically save your life.
"Thank you, Miss Lacey!"
After receiving the medicine, several captains expressed their gratitude loudly, then carefully put it away and put it in a close-fitting package. They have been traveling all year round, so they naturally understand the value of extraordinary medicine. In this era when there are no hospitals and extremely poor treatment conditions,
This potion may very well represent a life. This is not a joke, but a valuable experience gained from the tip of a knife.
Although everyone was selling their lives for money, the eldest lady's actions were like a warm stream flowing in their hearts. The concern revealed in those clear eyes made these riders a little touched. In this heavy profit
And in a country that is indifferent to people, such genuine concern is extremely precious.
After all the instructions were given, the sky became completely dark, a large bonfire was lit, and a group of people began to cook food. Dried meat and potatoes were cooked into a thick soup, and then the dry flour cakes were dipped in the soup, or they were torn apart and eaten directly.
The soup softened, and this was the riders' dinner. As the fire crackled and burned, bursts of fragrance began to spread around the fire.
"Miss, your dinner is ready."
Just when Laurence was still thinking about what else could be prepared and planned in advance, Chelsea's voice came from beside her, telling her that dinner had been prepared and put on the carriage.
.
"No need to bother, just bring it over."
"Isn't this bad? There are too many people here..."
Although Chelsea is not a maid in a large aristocratic family, she still understands many rules and etiquette. It is still not suitable for an unmarried aristocratic lady to dine in front of a large group of men.
Lorraine Hill, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, raised his head and took a look at the scene in front of him. Riders in twos and threes were cooking soup in iron cans and squatting on the ground to eat bread, as if they were on a construction site in a previous life.
"Let's do this, leave the bread for me, and share the other fruits and roasted meat with everyone."
Chelsea was still a little reluctant, as this seemed to go against her usual maid principles.
"Don't worry so much, sister Chelsea, just do as I say."
"All right..."
Then Chelsea cut up the fruits and barbecue on Lorraine Hill's plate and distributed them to the riders who were sleeping rough, while the girl sat by the fire and slowly ate the leftover bread. In fact, she could not eat for several days.
No matter what, the endurance and physical strength of an extraordinary person are not comparable to ordinary people, and besides, she is still a very special kind.
There were no accidents after dinner. The mountain road was still very quiet. No travelers passed by. Maybe it was because it was going to rain soon and 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, and snoring could be heard from the nearby tent. At this time, huge raindrops began to fall from the sky. After a while, the rapid rain poured down from the sky like a torrential downpour.
The bonfire was quickly extinguished, and everything fell into darkness. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of rain hitting the leaves.
At this time, Lorraine Hill in the tent suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Is it finally here?"
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from far away on the mountain road, but under the cover of the sound of rain in the mountains, it seemed very secretive and eerie.
