"Two big brothers and little sister, where did you come from?"
Aru asked curiously: "There have been brothers and sisters I knew who left here before, but no one has ever come back and told me what the outside world is like."
The words "little sister" gave Paimon great satisfaction.
"Let me tell you, the outside world is very interesting. Mondstadt's Wings of Wind Competition, Liyue's Feast, there are many interesting and interesting places."
Aru's face was full of confusion: "Sister Paimon, what are Wings of Wind, and what are Mond and Liyue?"
Gu Sanqiu explained with a smile: "Liyue is the name of a place, just like Heguan. That is my hometown, and Mondstadt is next to Liyue."
"How should I put it? It's like two 'islands' that are much larger than here are adjacent to each other. If you want to go somewhere else, you can easily reach your destination."
Aru looked surprised: "Are there no scary big fish in the sea?"
Paimeng pointed at Gu Sanqiu: "He is very powerful. Although he looks out of place, there should be very few fish in the world that can beat him."
Aru looked surprised: "Brother, are you very powerful? How powerful can you be? Will you die if you are struck by thunder? In addition to big fish, there are also terrible thunder and lightning outside."
"It depends on what level of lightning it is. If it's just ordinary thunder, it probably won't even be able to break through my shield."
Gu Sanqiu smiled and said: "But if it is my friend's attack, or even the angry Thunder God Sword, it may not be able to stop it."
He can only say that whoever wants to touch the Wuxiang Knife can do it. Anyway, he has no such idea, so why should people go out to find trouble for themselves when they are alive?
Aru's eyes were bright: "Brother, can you help me with something? I can exchange it with you for our Heguan specialties!"
specialty?
Gu Sanqiu grinned subconsciously, having a bad feeling.
It can't be some damn treasure chest, right? It's the kind of treasure chest that contains no precious goods and only contains all kinds of weird-shaped buildings.
Is that a treasure chest? I think it is clearly an ancient warehouse!
specialty!
Paimon's eyes also lit up: "What a good thing it is, is it expensive?"
Don't worry, if your judgment is correct, this child should not have any knowledge in this area.
"Expensive...what do you mean? Anyway, if you, brothers and sisters, can help, I will take you to find specialties. I will definitely be able to find the ingredients you need."
Aru said confidently: "Even though there are so many adults in Heguan, compared to how familiar they are with many places, they are definitely not as good as me!"
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "Okay, let's go."
On the way, Kong walked over quietly and crooked Gu Sanqiu's waist with his elbow.
"Is something wrong?"
Kong whispered: "Sanqiu, Aru is not an ordinary child, right."
The mental power unfolded to form a barrier: "You are right, he is not an ordinary child."
Gu Sanqiu said: "You also think there is something wrong with the timing of his appearance?"
Kong nodded: "The timing of his appearance was too coincidental. We don't know where he landed on the island, but this child was able to find us accurately, and he was able to rush out and stop you before you were about to take action."
"Even if this incident can be explained by the fact that the locals are familiar with the terrain, it cannot be completely accepted. Obviously we did not feel that we were being watched along the way."
Kong looked cautious: "Be careful Sanqiu. If I guess correctly, this child should be the owner of this entire mist, or else he will be the incarnation of the big tree just now."
"If he wants to harm us, we must react as soon as possible, and we must control the danger to a minimum."
Gu Sanqiu looked surprised, then suppressed a smile and patted Kong's shoulder.
"Okay, young man, you actually know how to use your brain. I am very pleased."
null:?
"However, your boy's ideological degeneration is a bit serious."
Golden Retriever was confused: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. If you explain it, it means you think too much."
Sora's guess can't be said to be completely wrong. It can only be said that everything has a little influence on it, and no judgment is completely correct.
He brought Golden Retriever and Paimon here to help him take care of his children, not to change Aru's image into a deep-thinking demon king.
Now it seems that only Paimon, who has been explaining to Aru from the front how fun the outside world is, has played a role. The golden retriever is simply too nervous and protective, and everyone seems to be a bit demonized.
But yes, in such a bad natural environment, it is understandable that there are some negative changes in the mood.
If this is a Golden Retriever who comes by himself, and there is thick fog all the way, and a kid claiming to be a local suddenly pops up and asks you to help, there will be something wrong no matter how you look at it.
If there is anything wrong at all, the plot will be closer to a horror movie.
Gu Sanqiu deliberately took a few steps slowly, knelt down and asked Aru.
"Aru, my brother asked you, how did you find out that we came to Heguan? None of us found you. It seems that you should be a good hide-and-seek in your place."
Aru laughed sheepishly: "Hey, hey, I'm not that good. I'm very weak at hide-and-seek. I get caught by my brothers and sisters every time."
Well, this ancient form of entertainment is indeed universal.
Gu Sanqiu took out a lollipop and gave it to Aru: "Peel off the outer layer of paper, it's a very sweet thing. By the way, what did I ask about just now?"
"Big brother asked me how I discovered you."
Aru licked the candy in small mouthfuls. He wanted to put it away carefully when he saw Gu Sanqiu packed a big bag for him, and he immediately felt like "I am a rich man".
At least I was willing to eat it.
"I was singing on a hillside, and then I saw a boat coming. I saw you guys were very close to the sacred tree, so I was very worried."
Paimon couldn't help but ask: "How did you find us in such a heavy fog?"
"Eh? Is that so?"
Aru shook his head: "But when I saw you, there was no fog at all, but it was just like this when I looked in the direction of the big ship."
The fog most likely did not disperse. The reason Aru was able to see so clearly was because the fog turned into a "telescope".
Gu Sanqiu and Kong thought of this possibility at the same time. If it weren't for this, it would be exaggerated for a child to accurately see the ship through many obstacles and accurately predict the direction of the ship, no matter how bright his eyes were.
Paimon took a sip of water. Since Gu Sanqiu had something to ask, everyone just rested for a while. After all, the child's physical strength had to be taken into consideration.
Everyone continued to set off, but Kong noticed that Gu Sanqiu had fallen to the back of the team, and his face even darkened for a moment.
"What's wrong, Sanqiu?"
Gu Sanqiu tilted his head: "Well, what should I say? Let me think about it."
"I originally thought this matter could be simpler."
Heguan has been repeating the cycle of sorrow, just like the earth's veins have been recording the endless sorrow in the long river.
Gu Sanqiu suddenly smiled: "Golden Retriever, do you know where that lollipop came from? I made it specifically for my girl to use to coax children when she was at work."
"Xiao Jiujiu likes that one very much. She always pesters the girl for several."
"Coaxing children, when Hall Master Hu is working?"
Kong was surprised: "You mean..."
Gu Sanqiu sighed: "Yes, you must have guessed what Aru is, a lollipop that has completely transformed into a soul."
"Reincarnation, I thought that my body could at least maintain some activity in the dream cycle, but now it seems that God will not give me a chance to take advantage of it."
Only pure souls, those who have no connection with the physical body, can encounter sugar.
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "Not only do I need to help Aru, but I also need to solve a series of extremely serious reasons for this broken place."
