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

"Sister Beidou~I'm coming!"

"You little guy, why are you here again? If Ningguang, Gan Yu and the others find out, they will definitely blame me again."

"Ah! I'm sorry... It's Yaoyao who caused trouble for Sister Beidou... Then I'll go back first."

"Hey, hey, Yaoyao, don't leave yet. Sister Beidou, I was talking nonsense just now. Come, come, come, play whatever you want on the boat, I even plan to make a small bed for you!"

Beidou, the uncrowned Dragon King whose reputation spread far and wide to Li Yue and Dao Wife, was looking at Yaoyao's usual fluttering eyes that felt novel about everything she saw, with tears in her eyes.

She couldn't bear to be cruel and immediately comforted her.

"Sister Beidou! Is what you said true? Then you can't tell sister Gan Yu and the others, otherwise Yaoyao won't be able to play on the boat next time."

"Yeah, I'll try my best!"

Beidou replied sincerely.

The young man standing on the bow not far away couldn't help but smile softly when he saw the eldest sister's unusually deflated look.

The young man's appearance is very delicate, which can be described as gentle as jade.

The young man's white hair was tied into a short braid at the back of his head, and diagonally below the two bunches of dull hair on his head was a red highlight that matched the color of his eyes.

He was wearing a gray samurai uniform, with only half of the outer furisode kimono on. The right half of the coat was tied around his waist, and the right furisode hung behind his back. He wore two scarves, one black and one red, around his neck, and two God's Eyes. Pinned to it, one is the eye of the wind elemental god, and the other is the eye of the thunder elemental god.

There is also a maple leaf tied around her waist. The scarf, furisode and dark red hakama are all printed with maple leaf patterns. Her lower body is wearing red pantyhose and black trousers.

From one glance, others knew that the young man was a wife.

"Manyou!"

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"You help unload the fireworks made by Xiao Palace to the dock. Today is the birthday of the head of Yunhan Club. At their request, these fireworks will be sent to Liyue Port today. This is a big order! There can be no mistakes, Hai Long , Chongzuo, you guys, please help me!"

So heavy!

Even though there were several strong sailors helping him unload the cargo, Manyo still felt that the large fireworks made by Yonomiya were too heavy.

"Yao Yao, come here! Let's grill and eat the little octopus I caught specially for you."

"Okay~Thank you Sister Beidou, I really like grilled octopus!"

Yaoyao jumped up and ran to Beidou holding the laurel given to her by Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun.

"Manye", Beidou grilled octopus and said to Maplehara Manyo on the pier, "After unloading the goods later, you can take Yaoyao to watch the show at Heyu Tea House. I won't go, I have to go to another place." Go to Qun Jade Pavilion."

"Okay, big sister."

Wan Ye nodded, rubbed his sore arms, and looked up at Yaoyao.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Yaoyao."

Wanye's tone always seems to be so gentle, but the melancholy hidden in his eyes is almost not noticed by anyone, but Yaoyao, who is exquisite in immortality, can see it at a glance.

"Brother Wanyu, thank you! Let me grill you a skewer of grilled sweet fish. Senior sister Xiangling taught me how to do it not long ago."

"Dry-roasted sweet fish... I haven't had it in a long time."

Wanyo lowered his head and looked at the already eclipsed Eye of the Thunder Elemental God. He seemed to have smelled the aroma of dry-roasted sweet fish.

……

"Your name is Maplehara Manyo? Hahaha, I don't think you look like a wandering samurai, but more like... a young master from a big family who has fled."

A young man whose clothes were extremely damaged due to years of wind and rain looked at a boy who was half a head shorter than him. The man was holding a well-behaved white cat in his hand, and around his waist was a thunder elemental god that often flashed brightly. Eye.

"family……"

The young man named Maplehara Manyo fell into silence for a moment after hearing the word "family". Then the young man nodded and said:

"You are right, I am the last descendant of the Fengyuan family... The reason why I am called the last generation is because when it was passed to me, Fengyuan was already in decline."

"Um, Maplehara Manyo, I'm sorry, I don't know...forget it, stop talking about this, I'll make you my best grilled sweet fish, you probably haven't eaten it before.

"It's just fish that has been dried overnight. The skin is soaked with the smell of the sea breeze. After being grilled, it emits an alluring salty aroma. It is the smell that I...are the most familiar to us wandering warriors along the coast."

The man said while changing the subject lightly, but Manyo Maplehara wanted to reveal her heart to the other person.

"Don't be too polite, just call me Wanyo."

"The Maplehara family has a long history. Maplehara Kagemitsu is my ancestor and one of the three disciples of Masayo Ketsuzu's "Masamaru". He founded the Maplehara family Isshin sect and became the Thunder and Lightning Five sect forging. one."

"The Maplehara family originally followed the shogun, and the family's development was always prosperous. Until my great-grandfather Maplehara Yoshitsune's generation, my great-grandfather and the then head of the Kamisato family and others were attacked when they were chasing the fugitive swordsman. Then the head of the Kamisato family was seriously injured and died."

"After this happened, the Kamisato family and the Raiden Goden were punished by the general for not doing things well. The family's reputation was damaged and they lost their glory. Great-grandfather seemed to know some secrets. He no longer studied the skill of forging swords, but began to develop The hobby of keeping potted plants.”

"My grandfather, Maplehara Wantong, wanted to restore his family's reputation and chose to study the art of sword forging on his own, but he still failed."

"My grandfather wanted to revitalize the family, but he was scolded by his great-grandfather, "If you can't find out the secret, you deserve to disappear from the world." Then my grandfather left his hometown of Daozi in anger and went to a foreign land to find a way to support the family. It happened that At this time, my great-grandfather became seriously ill, and in the end, my great-grandfather and my grandfather and his son were not able to see each other for the last time.”

"My grandfather finally inherited his great-grandfather's preference for placing potted plants. Unlike my great-grandfather, he placed rocks. When I was a child, my grandfather once pointed at the rocks and said to me, 'Don't forget your true heart, and spend more time seeing the world.' "

"And my father, Kaedehara Keiharu, blamed himself for failing to revitalize the family because the family had not been able to get rid of the haze of failure for generations, so he decided to bear the reputation of abandoning the family industry alone. He told me, 'People don't You should be bound by life, because I have no chance, but I hope you can choose the path you want to take."

"When my father passed away, the family was completely in decline. After the house was repaid and the servants dispersed, I began to be a wanderer."

Listening to Wanye say all this in a calm tone, the man felt a sadness spreading in his heart.

Finally, the man forced out a smile and said:

"It's okay. Let's look forward. There is hope for life. Come and try the fish I grilled first. It's ready."

The man handed over the grilled fish, and Manyo took it with both hands.

"Try it quickly. I bake it with fish that has been dried overnight. After the fish is grilled, it will burst out with an attractive salty aroma. It is the most familiar taste to me... us warriors who wander along the coast."

Wanyo watched the plump fat of the fish seep out as it was grilled over the charcoal fire. He took a bite. The meat was firm and delicious, with a slightly moist texture.

"good to eat!"

"Hahaha, if it tastes good, eat more. Look at how skinny you are."

The man patted Wan Ye's thin shoulder and laughed. Wan Ye was infected by the man's emotions and couldn't help laughing.

Since then, the two people who met for the first time became good friends after tasting dry-roasted sweetfish together.

They decided to go together.
