The room seemed to have drawn the curtains, and the only light came in through the cracks in the windows, onto the tailor's workbench.

The one who cut the fabric was an old woman with white hair. She was busy waving her hands, and the scissors in her hands made a clicking sound.Next to the old woman was a little girl who used a spinning wheel to weave. She looked about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a black skirt and secretly glanced at Xia Mingchi.

On the other side, the pimple-faced old man is threading needles and threads to sew the cut fabric.

The burly girl sews decorations on the skirt, while the sly-eyed guy packs the finished product.

Several people had a clear division of labor, and the clothes were finished quickly.

"Hello."

Xia Mingchi stood by the door to say hello, but no one answered him.

The butler took a step forward, left the bright position at the door, and walked into the store.Xia Mingchi saw that everyone stopped their work at the same time and turned their eyes to him.

"I'm the housekeeper of Fisher's mansion, and I'm here to fetch clothes for Miss."

"Oh..." The old woman suddenly called out, and suddenly remembered, "So it's the housekeeper of the Duke's mansion, what a neglect."

She put down the scissors and dawdled into the darkness.

There was a beeping sound from an invisible place, as if searching for something, followed by the sound of water flowing out.

The other four continued their work and let the old woman torment herself.

"Miss' clothes are not ready yet, please wait a moment... Our store has too many orders."

As the old woman spoke, she brought out a teacup, and steam wafted from the cup.

For some reason, Xia Mingchi immediately thought of Lu Renyuan.

After being absent-minded for a few seconds, the butler smiled and said, "Can it be made today? Our coachman is still waiting outside."

He didn't drink tea, and normal people wouldn't drink what the NPC handed them in such a weird environment.

The old woman picked up the scissors again, "Soon, the next one will be from your house. The best black tea is only brewed when the distinguished guests come. Don't you want to try it?"

As soon as the words fell, the other four people who were working looked at Xia Mingchi again.

Xia Mingchi picked up the cup, moved his mouth to the edge of the cup, and pretended to swallow.The indoor environment was too dark, and he could see colored tea soup with a few leaves floating in it.

"It smells so good." The housekeeper praised.

Hearing the praise he wanted to hear, the people in the tailor shop worked with satisfaction.

In the dark, Xia Mingchi felt the skin of his neck itch when something cold touched it.

He touched it with his hand, but caught nothing.

Then, there was a burst of pain in the neck.

Xia Mingchi leaned back, facing the faint light and finally saw clearly, there was a shining line!Thinner than a hair!Like spider silk.

He thought of the matches he bought before entering the house, so he quickly took out one from the basket, took out one, and rubbed the black end coated with phosphorous powder on the sandpaper.

The flames jumped out like little people.This is no ordinary match, its flame is small but very bright.

At the same time, Xia Mingchi clearly heard a low exclamation from the workbench.

The little girl in front of the spinning wheel quickly removed her peeping eyes.

Xia Mingchi raised his head following the light of the match, not only sucking in a breath of cold air.

On the low roof, several palm-sized black spiders crawled around, and one of them put a silk thread, just enough to strangle Xia Mingchi's neck.It was only when it was about to tighten that it was discovered by Xia Mingchi.

The silk spun by spiders is woven into black webs, which hang randomly on the roof, or hang directly in front of the windows to form curtains, which can be thicker to block the light.

In addition to spiders and webs, there are several human-shaped things on the roof.

When Xia Mingchi wanted to observe carefully, the match in his hand went out, so he struck the second one without hesitation.

The entangled human-shaped pupa is still alive, and its head can be clearly seen twisting twice from side to side, and its abdomen rises and falls regularly with breathing.

Xia Mingchi lowered his head and saw the tea cup in his hand. The black tea inside had already changed, and there were a few dead flies floating in the bloody red tea soup.

At some point, a few big mice sprang out from his feet. They quietly untied the laces of his leather shoes, and then tied the laces of his left and right shoes together.

Xia Mingchi stomped his feet, and the mouse fled in a panic.

Xia Mingchi quickly rearranged the shoelaces, got up and walked towards the door with the basket in hand.He made an excuse for himself: "The money is still in the carriage, I'll go get it, you hurry up and make clothes."

He pushed the doorknob, but the door didn't budge.

[Do not leave until the task is completed. 】

The old woman behind her laughed dryly, "The last time the master of the Duke's mansion came, he had already paid the full amount. It's really rich and powerful."

"You'd better sit down and wait, the next thing will be."

Sitting down with peace of mind is only waiting for death, the spider above the head spins silk again.

Xia Mingchi twisted the thread and thought carefully: "The component of spider silk is protein, and protein can be burned."

After speaking, he lit a match and approached the spider's silk.The spider silk ignited instantly, and the flames ran up the threaded roof.The panicked spider quickly spit out the silk.

In the darkness, the fire flickered and died out as the combustibles turned to ashes.

Xia Mingchi observed the others, and they exchanged terrified looks.The hands of the old man with the needle were trembling, the girl who fixed the decoration on the skirt failed to stick the diamond on several times, and the boy who packed the ribbon still tied the ribbon into a tight knot.

Are these things afraid of fire?

The old woman cleared her throat and pretended to be calm, "The store is full of men's fabrics, it's too dangerous for you to use matches! Fire is prohibited in this store!"

"I know," Xia Mingchi sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.

"Duke Fisher is a person of great status and status in the city. Even if we burn the store down, we can still afford it. You guys are lazy and slippery. You clearly agreed to deliver the goods today, but it hasn't been completed yet!"

"The Duke loves his daughter the most. Do you think the Duke will let you go if you offend Miss Fisher?!"

Xia Ming slowly struck the remaining matches, as long as the matches burn, he will be safe.

After being reprimanded by the housekeeper, no one in the store spoke anymore, but quietly rushed to make clothes.

A few wisps of smoke drifted over the match, Xia Mingchi felt that the scene in front of him was a little blurry, rubbed his eyes, and his vision recovered.

But the scene in front of him has changed, or this is the real situation in the store——

The spider lay on the spinning wheel and spit out black silk threads. These threads were arranged according to the warp and weft, and automatically interspersed to become a large black yarn.Holding the scissors in the withered broken hand, he cut the black yarn into the desired shape.

The toad/ha/toad pops out its tongue, sticks the gauze together to make clothes.The crow tore off its tail feathers and stuck them under the skirt as a decoration.The mouse folded the skirt and tied it into a bow with its bloody intestines.

Finally, the mouse jumped off the table holding the skirt with both hands, and handed it to Xia Mingchi respectfully.

The voice of the old woman came out from the severed hand, "Miss Fisher's skirt is ready, if it doesn't fit, we will come and change it for Miss."

Xia Mingchi, who watched the entire production process: ...

I don't really want to touch it with my hands.

[The responsible housekeeper took the clothes carefully, for fear of damaging this exquisite work of art if he was not careful.He said in amazement: Oh, my God!I have never seen such a beautiful dress! 】

Xia Mingchi: ...

God damn fine art.

The game is full of art that leads straight to the underworld.

Xia Mingchi didn't want to do anything against his true thoughts, so he planned to take the clothes and leave.But the mouse clung to the clothes and refused to give it to him.

Then, the cold voice of the system repeated what it said just now.

It seemed that he had to be told.

Xia Mingchi was "surprised" and sighed: "Oh, my God! I have never seen such a beautiful dress!"

The gray mouse in the sewer squeaked happily, and then let go.The crow fluttered its wings, the toad/toad croaked, the severed hand danced excitedly, and the spider crawled around on the roof.

Everyone's hard work has been recognized and I am very happy.

The tailor shop returned to its original state in an instant, and the gray-skinned mouse turned into a young man with sly eyebrows and mouse eyes. He opened the shop door respectfully and sent Xia Mingchi out.

Xia Mingchi came out with a complicated mood.

The store was chosen by the duchess, who seems to love the lady, what would she think if she knew that the clothes were made of spiders, severed hands, toads/ha/toads, crows and mice?

Can this dress really work...

Jeff leaned back in the driver's seat, dozing off with his hat over his face.Obviously, the steward took more time to pick up the clothes than the driver estimated.Even Anne has come back from shopping.

Annie's bamboo basket was covered with a scarf, and Xia Mingchi saw a few wisps of wine-red stuff leaking out, like hair.

The little maid was more interested in the skirt in Xia Mingchi's hand.

"Wow, the packaging is too exquisite! It's indeed the store that Madam personally chose for Miss!"

Annie covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, her eyes were shining.

Xia Mingchi looked down, and that disgusting dress had completely changed. The three-dimensional printed packaging carton had the store's logo marked in bronzing script, and the red velvet ribbon was tied into a big bow.

Although simple, it is low-key and luxurious, showing the unique taste of buyers.

"What is this?" Annie was curious about the basket on Xia Mingchi's arm.

Xia Mingchi said: "Matches, I wanted to smoke, but found that there was no fire, so I just bought a few boxes by the side of the road."

He walked up to Jeff and patted Jeff on the shoulder, "Let's go back to the mansion."

Jeff stretched, took off his hat, and looked at the sun with his fat eyelids, as if judging the time.

Obviously the man was very upset, "Damn it, it took so long to get a dress."

【Jeff is angry, you have to find a way to make him happy, otherwise the bumps along the way will make you suffer. 】

Jeff picked up the greasy towel around his neck and wiped his face, took out a low-quality cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and rummaged through his pocket in boredom.

Xia Mingchi took out a box of matches from the basket and handed it over, "It's for you."

[Jeff's affection for you has changed from 0 to 5%. On the way back, he will try his best to make you comfortable and help you. 】

Jeff took the match, smoked, and spit out a heart-shaped smoke ring at Xia Mingchi. At the same time, he made a wink, and his voice became coquettish, "I hate it, get in the car now~"

No... just a box of matches...

Hearing expressions such as [make you comfortable] and [provide help], Xia Mingchi got goosebumps, this favorability has really strong stamina.

I hope it's not that kind of good feeling ♂ degree.

Xia Mingchi helped Annie get into the carriage first, and heard a magnetic voice behind him saying:

"It's a coincidence to meet on the side of the road, don't you mind picking me up?"
