Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"If you want to see it, I'll go home and get it for you right away, without your money!"

"Won't this delay your work? I see all your co-workers have left."

"It's...it's okay! My home is very close, right next to the General Affairs Department in Plum Lane. I'll be back soon!"

Xiao Li paused for a moment, then explained. After finishing speaking, he immediately walked to the General Affairs Department.

"Waiter, check out!"

Wu Ye said after finishing the fish soup.

"Okay! Sir, a bowl of fish soup only costs 500 moras. I need you to go to my boss to pay the bill. Please go ahead."

"it is good."

……

"Brother, I didn't keep you waiting long."

Xiao Li came back less than a quarter of an hour later, holding a book with a tattered cover and yellowing pages.

"No, but how does this book look..."

"Well, because buying a new book costs one hundred thousand molas, and I bought a second-hand book. Although the surface of the book looks a little worn, the content inside is still complete."

"One hundred thousand molas! How can a book used for teaching be so expensive?!"

"Yes, I don't know the specific reason. In the past, it was only 10,000 mola per copy. I heard that there are big businessmen controlling the price behind the scenes to obtain more profits."

Wu Ye frowned slightly after listening, then took Xiao Li's book, opened it, and found that the articles inside were all written in classical Chinese, and none of them were described in everyday words.

"It's all ancient Chinese writing, so it's hard for most of you workers to understand it, right?"

Wu Ye looked at Xiao Li and asked.

"Yes, I have been reading it carefully for almost a month, but I didn't understand even a single article in it."

"Then why don't we use our daily words as the font of these articles, so that they will be easy to understand. Moreover, I briefly read the articles in it, and I have no literary skills. They are all articles piled up with unpronounceable ancient prose. "

"I don't know. Maybe the literary people in Liyue Port don't bother to write articles in the terms we usually speak, and think that ancient prose is the orthodoxy."

"Ha, that's ridiculous! Can these be considered literary people?! They don't consider the actual situation at all, they are just a bunch of people who are just trying to gain fame."

Wu Ye sneered and cursed.

"Then what should we do? If we want to be literate, we can only read these articles."

Xiao Li replied helplessly.

"Can I only read these articles? Then why don't I copy out the articles I learned when I was studying in my previous life? To provide an educational enlightenment for the people of Liyue!"

Wu Ye thought to himself, but little did he know that one month later, the literary world in Liyue Port would be turned upside down because of this!

"I know! By the way, they all call you Xiao Li, so what's your full name?"

Wu Ye already had the inspiration to know what to write in his second book. He looked at Xiao Li gratefully and asked.

"Well, my full name is Li Zida, and I'm coming of age this year. You can just call me Xiao Li like everyone else."

"Huh? We are similar in age, how can I call you 'little'?"

"It's okay! Just call me that. Because I think you are a scholar... If you are willing to teach me how to read, I am willing to give you this book."

"Is that so?"

Wu Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, while Xiao Li looked at Wu Ye's expression nervously, for fear that he would disagree.

"As long as you are willing to teach me, then I am willing to pay the tuition! Of course, I don't have so many molas. I only have one hundred thousand molas on me. After all, I have only been working for a short time... If you think it is too little, I will think of another way."

Li Zi gritted his teeth and said, it seems that he is really willing to spend a lot of money to learn literacy, oh? ! It should be to get close to the woman he likes. Maybe this is the passionate youth of young people.

"This is enough."

Wu Ye held up the ancient book in his hand, and then continued:

"I'll call you Li Zi from now on. If you really want to learn from me, then starting from tomorrow, come to Peach Blossom Lane before midnight every day. I guess there won't be much work on the dock by then. I'll spend half an hour I’ll teach you how to read for five days, what do you think?”

"Okay, sir! I will definitely come to you on time, thank you!"

Xiao Li was overjoyed and immediately bent down to express his gratitude.

"Sir? I quite like this title."

Wu Ye waved his hand, rejected Li Zida's offer, and left quickly. He was tired and wanted to go home and sleep.

Li Zida stood there and watched Wu Ye leave. When the other party's figure disappeared around the corner, he turned around and rushed back to the dock to work.

……

By the time Wu Ye got up from the bed, it was already late at night.

He wiped his face with a towel dipped in water. After opening the door and window, he sat quietly in front of the desk. On the desk were the paper and pen that he had placed yesterday, an inkstone full of ink, and an ancient book that he had read during the day. He did not Candles were lit, but the room was still bright.

The moonlight entered the house, and the silvery white light spread gently in the room. From pens and paper to inkstones to photos on the bedside, everything in the room is wrapped in moonlight, as if immersed in a quiet and beautiful atmosphere. When the moonlight gently brushed Wu Ye's face, he picked up the pen with a smile, dipped it lightly in ink, and then wrote two words on the paper with force.

After that, he turned over a new page and continued to write. In the vast moonlight, only the sound of "rustling" kept sounding.

......

"Wu Ye~Wu Ye! Wu Ye?"

Because she didn't see Wu Ye all day yesterday, Hutao rushed to Peach Blossom Alley after finishing the affairs of the Hall of Purity early in the morning. After saying hello to Wu Yong who was cleaning fallen leaves and petals in the yard, she came Wu Ye shouted in front of the door.

"Wu Ye, are you still sleeping? Then I'll come in!"

After Hu Tao finished speaking, he opened the door and walked in. What he saw was Wu Ye, who was lying on the bed and sleeping unconsciously.

"I'm not sleeping well, but I'm not snoring or drooling, hehe."

Hutao sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Wu Ye's sleeping face, and then a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. Well, he must have thought of something interesting.

"Mua~"

Hu Tao leaned down and kissed Wu Ye, then covered her red face with both hands.

"Ugh~ What's wrong with me? Isn't it bad to attack Wu Ye like this? Forget it, I'll kiss him openly when he wakes up."

Hu Tao stood up and looked around the room. He saw the photos on the bedside, the flower pots on the windowsill, and the desk next to the window. Under the desk was an ancient book with a tattered cover, and on the desk were papers, pens and There are more than a dozen paper manuscripts scattered on the inkstone.

"Did Wu Ye write a new book last night?"

Hutao thought, she knew that the first book Wu Ye wrote was published in Yamoxuan, and she bought dozens of copies and distributed them to the ceremonial attendants and guest guests in the Hall of Purity, and she also kept a copy for herself. In the room, when I have nothing to do, I will open it and take a closer look.

She walked to the desk and sat down. At a glance, the most eye-catching thing was a piece of paper with only two words written on it.

"It should be the title of the new book."

Hu Tao picked up the manuscript and took a look. The characters on it were flying and penetrated the back of the paper.

"Chinese?"
