The two of them walked towards the military tent. Although they were holding hands, because they had their own concerns, no one spoke during the whole journey.
No one noticed that the people around them were silent.
Ouyang was thinking about whether some of the actions he had just taken were a bit excessive and explicit.
He is not a human being, so he cannot guess whether Keqing is really interested in him.
Ouyang's original intention is very simple - if you have a master, you should pay attention to the relationship with the opposite sex around you.
It's okay to think about it occasionally, but Shen He has no clue anyway...
But you can't do things that seek death. This is the bottom line, the bottom line for a man with a family.
Reality is not a game, you can save the game and start over again, and various NPCs also revolve around the protagonist.
Every character legend mission is like falling in love, but this is impossible to happen in reality.
For example, if Miss Kamisato knew that there were so many ambiguous people among travelers, would she still be willing to dance in the pool under the moon?
Even if Kamisato Ayaka is willing, his brother should probably come to kill people with a knife...
Therefore, Ouyang, who made it clear that he wanted to keep a distance, was a little unsure whether what he had just done was in place.
This sense of proportion is difficult to grasp, and it is actually quite troublesome to deal with relationships between people.
After all, relationships are not work, and there is no standard answer to this.
He didn't want some bloody things to happen due to some misunderstandings.
When the two came outside their military tent, Shen He stopped.
"Is the child going to your noble family's ancestral home to officially become a disciple today?"
"How about I wait until the child has finished his apprenticeship before leaving?"
She still didn't want to separate, but she felt that this idea was a bit unreserved, so she found a reasonable reason for herself.
However, Ouyang didn't want to have long nights and long dreams. He said calmly: "The apprenticeship ceremony is just a simple formality."
"It takes two or three days to come back. If I wait a little longer, you will almost be back."
"At that time, we will just go to the land of Liyue and settle the matter of the treasure stealing group."
Treasure stealing group?
Shen He was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Didn't you arrange for Beidou to come and deal with the treasure stealing group here?"
"Why do you want to do it yourself now?"
It's been almost two months, and the Hai Lantern Festival is about to start in a few days, but there's no news at all from Beidou.
But Ouyang also understands that this is the case when going to sea.
It is impossible to be precise about time.
Ouyang put his arms around Shen He and said softly: "Things have to be done one by one. You should go early and come back early."
"Okay?"
Being hugged like this outside the military tent made Shen He's heart beat loudly.
She saw the curious and hesitant looks from the patrolling soldiers in the military camp, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Um."
"I-I'll be back soon."
After agreeing, Shen He no longer struggled and became more relaxed.
She pulled Ouyang into the military tent and took out many things from the "bag" on her waist.
Some of the food, clothing, and supplies are all things Ouyang uses on a daily basis.
"Before departure from Liyue Port, I asked Xiaogui to order some food at Wanmin Hall. I thought you might want to eat it, but I'll leave it to you for now."
"Also, what's in this box are your clothes. I know you usually use magic to clean yourself, but you should be prepared."
"In this box are the utensils you like to use when drinking tea. The tea leaves are also in it. There are also some books you asked me to put away in the past few days. They are all here."
Shen He pulled Ouyang, opened the boxes one by one, and introduced them to him.
Ouyang actually wants to say that he can be very casual and doesn't have anything particular to do in his daily life.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that because Shen He had been taking care of him during this period, he had unknowingly changed his "casual" living habits.
Or it should be said that he has become accustomed to Shen He's presence.
"...and this... hmm?"
Shen He, who was still introducing the contents of these boxes to Ouyang, was suddenly held in Ouyang's arms, and their lips were pressed together tightly.
mua～
After kissing the other person hard, Ouyang waved his hand and put those things into his fingers.
Their eyes met, and his eyes were a little dazed.
"You'd better stop talking, it makes me feel a little embarrassed."
"You don't have to worry about me, just come back soon."
Shen He rested his head on Ouyang's chest and said softly "Hmm".
In the quiet military tent, just as the two were deeply in love, an inappropriate voice interrupted them.
"Uncle~"
"Hahaha! I'm back!"
The furious Gui Chuanyu rushed in with the orange cat in his arms. When he saw Ouyang, he opened his hands in excitement and rushed over.
"Uncle! I, I got into a fight! I'm super powerful!"
"Master said those were evil spirits, but I chased them away!"
There was obviously a bruise on Gui Chuanyu's fleshy cheek, but it was obvious that he didn't care about it at the moment.
After being picked up by Ouyang, he vividly told him about his "heroic deeds" last night.
"Uncle, let me tell you, those evil spirits who are super weak, I just burned them with some fire elements, and they were all burned away!"
"Also, those evil spirits just look scary, but they seem to be more afraid of me. I am the one chasing them all the time. They are super weak..."
With a smile on his face, Ouyang listened to the child's description and calmly controlled his spiritual power to check the child's body.
I found out that nothing happened, so I felt relieved.
Seeing that what he said was interesting, Ouyang joked: "Oh? You are so powerful, why is there a bruise on your face?"
Eh?!
Pfft——
Gui Chuanyu was stunned by Ouyang's question, but before he could answer, Ruotuo couldn't hold back, and his laughter came directly through the seal.
"He was so excited chasing those evil spirits that he forgot to look at his feet, so he fell."
"Oh? Is it really him who chased those evil spirits away?"
Originally thinking it was just a child's exaggerated description, Ouyang realized something was wrong after Ruo Tuo spoke.
After all, the evil spirits on the land of Liyue have not been completely eradicated even after hundreds of years of digging the land. Can't a five-year-old child just make them run away?
Although Teyvat is a two-dimensional game and all unreasonable situations seem to be explainable, children are children after all.
The specific strength is obvious, there is no way that Gui Chuanyu has such strong strength.
Looking at the "children" he knew, none of them were children in the traditional sense.
Keli is an elf, and if I remember correctly, she is at least fifty years old. Strictly speaking, uh...it doesn't count the age at which executions started.
Not to mention Qiqi, she is too old and many people in Liyue Port still call her ancestor.
As for Zaoyou, I really haven’t paid attention to the specific age, but I think she must be quite young. Isn’t the reason why she doesn’t look young is because she hasn’t grown taller?
Therefore, except for the fact that Yaoyao's specific strength is unclear, Gui Chuanyu's strength is almost that of a normal child.
Uh... This is just for removing the plug-in God's Eye, but it shouldn't be like this anyway.
Totally unreasonable.
Ouyang asked again through the deed seal: "Are you sure he did it all by himself?"
"Yes." Ruotuo answered quickly, "Probably because of the bead in his neck, those evil spirits are afraid of him."
bead?
Ouyang looked at the bright yellow bead on the child's neck, looking a little confused.
He remembered that the words he left behind at the end were "to protect him from evil spirits, avoid disasters, and keep him in good health." Now it seemed like this was the way to protect him.
To be honest, I'm a little envious.
Ouyang looked at the child and saw that he was still confused and didn't know how to answer, so he didn't continue the topic and asked again: "You are back, what about your master?"
"Oh, Master is outside." After saying this, Gui Chuanyu seemed to have thought of something again, and quickly continued, "Master said that the time has come. We are about to set off."
"Well, let's go then."
Ouyang put the child down and everyone walked outside the military tent.
Mandrill was standing not far away, with the same smelly look on his face.
On the way out, when he was about to leave the military camp, Ouyang turned his head towards Shen He, and the other party also looked over at this time.
Without saying anything else, Shen He pursed his lips and stopped, looking at Ouyang with a faint smile.
it is more than words.
Just as Ouyang and the others were heading towards Leping Town, a figure flashing with electric light was speeding forward on the official road of Dihuazhou.
After days and nights of all-out sprinting, Beidou is still in excellent condition.
She looked in the direction of Wangshu Inn and walked a little faster.
Swish——
The wind carried by the rapid speed swept up the smoke and dust and enveloped it towards the small teahouse on the roadside.
"Ahem, what's going on?"
"Hey, why is there such a strong wind blowing like this?"
"It seems, ahem, someone ran over?"
Although there was a lot of commotion along the way, Beidou ignored it. She stared at Wangshu Inn and sped away.
Soon after, Huaian, who was walking around the inn to check, heard some commotion coming from the direction of the counter.
What's wrong?
Curiously, I walked toward the direction where the commotion came from and saw my mother-in-law, Phil Godette, entertaining a female guest.
But judging from the way Phil Godette was arguing, it seemed that the situation was not good.
"This customer, our store, is related to Qixing!"
"Please don't be so aggressive."
Phil Godette looked at the dusty woman in front of her and felt unhappy.
Originally, she would not be so rude when opening the door to welcome guests, but the other person suddenly appeared at the counter and directly asked where Qixing was. How could this be allowed?
After a few repeated arguments, she became annoyed and directly said that our store was related to Qixing.
Let the other party consider whether they want to cause trouble here.
Beidou was anxious, and she was feeling a little irritable after not sleeping for a few days, so her eyes began to look bad.
She has never seen such a domineering boss lady. She just asked a few questions. Why did she ramble on and on without answering directly?
He also said that it was related to Qixing. This was not nonsense. He just came to Wangshu Inn directly because he knew that it was related to Qixing!
Boom——
Crack——
Beidou stopped talking nonsense, took out his weapon and stood directly beside him, the sharp edge pierced the floor of the inn.
Huai'an, who was on his way, saw his eyelids twitching.
Hey, hey~
Looking at the broken floor, he felt distressed to death, quickly quickened his pace and put on a smile.
"Hey, are you the 'Dragon King' Beidou?"
"Captain of the Death Star, Beidou?"
Wangshu Inn is an information transfer station in Liyue, so Huai'an can still receive some news.
Beidou's clothes are easy to recognize, that's why he asked.
Seeing the other party nodding, Huai'an smiled brightly and said: "Hey, look at this, isn't this a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple... uh..."
Huaian realized that his words were wrong, and immediately changed his words: "You see, you are a friend of Tianshu Xing, and my name is Huaian, and I am the owner of this store."
"Our small shop also has some relationship with Qixing, so it's not like we're going to use knives or guns..."
"I won't talk to you about this." Beidou continued with a serious face: "Since you are the boss, you should know where Ouyang is now?"
Lord Ouyang?
Beidou's question directly stunned Huai'an: "I don't know about this?"
"Don't believe it, we are open every day, and we haven't heard any news about Mr. Ouyang."
No?
Beidou felt a little strange. He clearly set off earlier than himself, so how could he arrive at Dihuazhou later than him?
She clearly remembered what the housekeeper named Xiaogui said that their master went to Dihuazhou.
This is unreasonable...
After thinking about it, Beidou stepped back and asked: "Then do you know where Keqing is?"
While Beidou was looking for Ouyang, Ouyang was taking Mandrill to his family's ancestral home, Leping Town.
Leping Town and Kaiyang Town are two small towns on Guiliyuan.
They are far away from official roads and have a small population, but their lives are relatively comfortable and prosperous because some of your family's properties are located here.
Porcelain, tea, cloth mills, and a few factories.
It is difficult to be rich and powerful, but at least under the garrison of Qianyan Army, you are safe and happy.
However, Ouyang did not go to his ancestral home in Leping Town first, but instead went to the tombstone on Guiliyuan as usual.
Although he had just worshiped, since it was a rule and he was setting an example for his children, Ouyang didn't want to be lazy.
However, after getting closer, I discovered that there was an extra person there.
Why is he here?
Under the shade of the tree, the old man stood with his chest crossed, the gentle wind blowing the hem of his clothes. He stood tall and straight, looking at the tombstone.
Soon, Ruotuo and Mandrill also saw Zhongli at the same time.
Mandrill even ducked directly to the uncle's side, almost kneeling down to salute out of habit.
"Emperor...Mr. Zhongli, why are you here?"
Thinking that Gui Chuanyu didn't seem to know the identity of the emperor, Mandrill changed his story in time.
But the uncle seemed to be in a trance and did not answer.
Ouyang, who was approaching, didn't care so much and asked directly: "Why are you here?"
"It's just my free time and I'm just wandering around." The uncle said calmly.
He looked at the glazed lily in full bloom on the grass and said, "I didn't expect there to be a wild glazed lily here. I happened to see it, so I stayed and took a look."
"I didn't expect to see you all here. It's such a fate."
You don't want to be a flower picker, do you?
Ouyang looked inexplicable. He thought that when the other party faked his death to hold a funeral for himself, he went to look for the Glazed Lily. Ouyang was a little suspicious that he was eyeing this one.
But before Ouyang could continue to speak, Gui Chuanyu in his arms said happily: "Uncle Zhongli, do you also want to try Leping Town's sauce?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I have been feeling groggy all day. I have revised this chapter again and again, but this is the only way it can be. Finally, I want to ask for leave...
