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

"what!"

"Wow!"

"I'll wipe it, damn monkey, don't run away!"

……

Seeing a group of people chasing the ape god, Wu Ye helplessly shook his head and smiled, and continued walking towards Peach Blossom Lane.

After a while, the ape god returned to Wu Ye in a majestic and high-spirited manner.

"Ape God, you are a bit harsh. Why do you specifically attack other people's weak points?"

"Oh ho ho! Wow! (Who dared them to tease me? They promised to give Tao Tao food after touching my head, but there wasn't even a peach hair on it! Not to mention hitting a snake seven inches away. I used to bully them like this too. "Immortal" is a snake, huh! This time I have restrained my strength and will not let them cut off their descendants!)"

The monkey god tilted his head and hummed.

"Hahaha, let's go, the sun is setting, let's go home."

"Oh? (Go home?)"

"That's right, it's my and grandpa's home. You can also think of it as your home. My grandpa is probably waiting for me at home. By the way, the peaches outside the yard should be ripe now. You can eat as much as you like!"

"Wuhu!"

After hearing this, the monkey god shouted excitedly and started somersaulting.

As the sun sets, large tracts of peach trees in Peach Blossom Alley are shrouded in the golden afterglow, and the originally green fruits on the trees seem to be smoked into mature orange-yellow.

The peaches are ripe, and the tempting sweet fragrance wafts in the air, making people salivate.

If you take a closer look at the peach on the top of the peach tree, you will see that the delicate fluff shimmers slightly in the residual light, as if it is covered with the veil of a fairy in the sky, which makes the monkey unable to help but blaspheme.

"Wuhu! Ouch!"

The ape god couldn't bear the sight before him. A large peach tree was covered with ripe peaches. His eyes were shining, and after squealing twice, he pounced on them to gnaw.

"Wait! Ape God, you can't do this!"

Wu Ye stopped it.

"Ow~"

The ape god hanging on the branch didn't know why. He screamed in grievance and then fell back to the ground.

"It's not that I don't allow it. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't mess with these trees. Do you understand?"

Listening to Wu Ye's serious tone, the Ape God nodded seriously.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

The peach trees on both sides of Wu Ye and the Ape God suddenly dropped dozens of peaches, landing on the soft soil. A large and plump peach happened to fall at Wu Ye's feet.

"Wuhu!"

The ape god was overjoyed and picked up the peach and showed off it happily.

Wu Ye also picked up the big peach, wiped the soil on the surface with the back of his hand, and took a bite. The flesh was soft and juicy, and the sweet taste filled his mouth.

"Wuhu! Zhizhizhi! (It's delicious! It's better than the one grown by the old deer on the mountain!)"

The ape god was dancing happily while holding the peach. It looked at Wu Ye, only to find that he stopped talking after taking one bite.

"It's okay, you eat yours, I just can't bear to eat it."

After hearing Wu Ye's words, the ape god scratched his head and looked around in confusion.

There are obviously many peaches on the tree.

……

As usual, the old man got up early in the morning today. When people get old, they always don't sleep long, maybe because they need to sleep for a lifetime.

The early morning sunlight shines through the ancient courtyard wall into the courtyard.

There are many flowers and plants. In addition to the original neon flowers and glazed lilies in the corner, there are also some snapdragons and mints planted on the grass around the fountain. These were recently added by the old man. He always felt that the yard was very vacant.

The gray-haired old man also developed a piece of land in the yard and planted some vegetables on it. He plowed back and forth with a hoe in his hand. Occasionally he would stop, wipe the sweat from his head, and look to see if there was anyone outside the door he opened.

After plowing the land, the old man picked up the scissors to repair the flowers and plants, then sat on a small chair facing the door, holding a wooden weaving tool in his hand, and slowly and carefully weaved a small basket. It finally passed.

After noon, the old man saw that the girl who usually came at this hour did not come today, so he simply cooked some porridge and ate it.

In the afternoon, he took a small basket to pick some peaches outside the yard and came back. After washing them by the fountain, he cut them into small pieces and simply pickled them with some. Then he packed them in a dustpan and placed them in the corner of the yard to dry. However, the corner was almost filled with dustpans filled with preserved peaches.

The old man cooks so much just because his grandson likes to eat it.

He looked up at the sky. It was late in the morning and the sun was not shining so much. He sat on the small chair again and took out the book the girl bought him. He carefully read the book written by his grandson.

He liked reading the poems written by Su Shi very much, even as much as Yunhanshe's drama. He especially liked the line "I hope people will live long, and we will share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart" written by Su Shi.

The sun had set over Tianheng Mountain. The old man walked to the calendar hanging on the wall in the kitchen. There was an ink mark on the calendar from April 10th to May 19th. This was scratched by the old man with charcoal. .

The old man picked up charcoal and carefully drew a mark on May 20th. He suddenly felt a little tired. He walked out of the kitchen to the center of the yard and sat on a bench next to the fountain.

When people die, they sleep a lot, and when people sleep, they die a little.

The old man closed his eyes.

……

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

A cry came from outside the yard, and Wu Yong was awakened. He lay on the chair and froze for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked quickly to the gate.

"Xiao Ye?!"

"Grandpa, it's me!"

The moment Wu Ye saw his grandfather, his face was full of joy. He ran over quickly, and the ape god kept up with him while nibbling on the peach.

"Grandpa, have you been very tired during this time?"

Wu Ye hugged Wu Yong and then noticed Wu Yong's fatigue.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's just that I didn't get enough rest. Oops! Xiaoye, please use less strength. Grandpa, my frame is not as strong as before."

"Isn't it very hard for you to practice in the mountains? Why do you feel that you have lost a lot of weight?"

Wu stretched out his calloused hands to rub Wu Ye's slightly rounded face, his eyes filled with distress.

"Grandpa, you must have read it wrong. I did not treat myself badly on the mountain. I even ate the white crane that the immortal sent the message to. During this time, I gained about ten kilograms."

"Ah?! Xiaoye, you came back after practicing for forty-one days. Could it be that the immortal drove you down the mountain because of this?"

"No……"

Wu Ye and Wu Yong explained the cause and effect in detail, and also talked about the process of attending the conference today.

"Oh, I see, that means you have met Xiaotao. Xiaotao has missed you during this time and is looking forward to your letters every day. That's good, that's good..."

"Come on in, it's getting dark, and there are some dishes in the kitchen that I just bought today. I was supposed to cook them for Xiao Tao when she came over at noon, but now you're back."

Wu Yong quickly pulled Wu Ye in, without even noticing that there was a monkey eating a peach behind him.

"Ouch!"

Seeing the two of them walking away, the monkey god couldn't help shouting.

"Um, where did this monkey come from? Did you bring Xiaoye back?"

"Ouch!" Wu Ye patted his head and explained, "I almost forgot to tell you, grandpa, that it is not an ordinary monkey. It is equivalent to a god among monkeys. You can just call it 'Ape God'."

"It has helped me a lot on and off the mountain, and now it is training with me. It is both a teacher and a friend. In short, Grandpa, I can come back safe and sound, thanks to it!"

"Oh, it turns out to be Monkey Immortal! Thank you for helping Xiao Ye so much. Please come quickly, Lord Ape God!"

"Aww! Aww! (Old man! Don't call me Sir, Wu Ye and I are good brothers, just call me the Ape God!)"

Wu Ye translated what the ape god said to Wu Yong.

"Xiao Ye, it seems that you have succeeded in practicing. You can even understand monkey language."

"Uh hahaha, I didn't understand it at first, but I figured it out after sleeping in the same room with the ape god for too long."

Wu Ye scratched his head and laughed.

"what?!"

Wu Yong looked at his grandson in surprise and worry.
