Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers
Chapter 21 Toad Cinnamomum
"They said that Tora Chiyo was blackened by the abyss, bit the general's naginata to pieces, had both horns and the sword-holding arm cut off, and fled into the mountains." Gogo Nagamasa's voice was slightly hoarse, "It's hard for Doki to accept. I failed to dissuade him and watched him leave Yu Yu's house and disappear."
"Then Master Yuyu arrived here?" Nanke asked.
"In the beginning, I was in a more remote place of exile." He stared at the sword dancing in Guobeng's hand, and his expression tightened slightly. "I don't quite remember how I climbed up to my current position step by step. In short, I We must clear the family’s name.”
His expression was forbearing, hiding deep unwillingness and sadness.
Just like when I was young, I was silently facing the dark beast.
Nanke looked at Yu Yuchang's persistent eyes and wanted to say something to comfort him. After organizing his words for a while, he gave up and raised his arm to touch his head.
"Hey, Nanke!" Guimu's eyes popped out from behind.
"...It doesn't matter." Yu Yuzhang was startled for a moment, then he laughed and pushed her arm away, "Nanke, I am no longer a child, please don't do such a thing. Otherwise, if word spreads, the majesty I have worked so hard to build will be in vain. ”
"There are no outsiders." Nanke stopped playfully.
Yu Yu Changzheng shook his head helplessly.
Kanxiong and Awang looked up, looking confused: "What happened?"
"It's nothing." Yu Yuzhang glanced at Guimu and raised his glass, "Ye Liang, after drinking this cup, let's go back."
"Oh! Okay!" Guimu also raised the cup.
Nanke touched them faintly and was about to drink when another cup reached out from behind, and half a glass of wine was poured into her glass smoothly.
Nanke turned around and saw Guobeng holding a knife in one hand and a wine glass in the other.
Guobeng looked confident.
Well, it seems inhumane to let a robot drink alcohol.
Nanke accepted his fate and finished it off with two big mouthfuls.
The head of the royal family was sending Niwa back. Katsuragi picked up Kaneo on his back and encouraged Awang to race. Nanke watched them run away and then asked Kunibeng next to him: "Do you know how to drink or can't you?"
"Who am I to tell you?"
"Eh-" Nan Ke drawled, "Your reaction, could it be that you were jealous when you saw me touching Master Yu Yu's head?"
"Huh?" He glanced sideways and frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, just an ordinary scholar." Nanke put his hands behind his back and jumped away briskly.
Hair was suddenly caught from behind: "Stop."
"It hurts, it hurts!" Nanke covered his scalp, tears about to come out, "Guo collapse, can you not be so violent?"
Guobeng pulled again, Nanke half-hunched his back and looked back, seeing tiny lightning flashes between his fingers.
"Wait a minute! That's not the case!"
"Don't move, stupid Jingua."
His eyes fell on her hair, and his eyes were filled with cold emotion.
The purple flash spread from his hands to her hair, and Nanke got goosebumps all over her body. She didn't know what he was doing, and wanted to struggle but didn't dare.
From the corner of her eye, she could see a faint black smoke coming out of her hair.
It seemed to be alive, twisting and undulating, and making a harsh roar.
The black air quickly shrank under the electric light, and small pieces of purple crystals fell from Nanke's hair, which turned into ashes when they touched the ground.
Guobeng let her go.
Nanke suddenly realized that he had been walking behind her tonight.
Is it because of what's in her hair?
"What is this?" Nanke brushed his hair and shook off the crystals.
Guobeng ignored her question: "Have you been under the boiler today?"
"No."
"Then you have encountered..." Guobeng was halfway through his words. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock.
"I met Mr. Escher." Nanke continued, noticing that he bit his lip, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No..." Guobeng whispered, lowered his head and walked quickly past her.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Nanke fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know whether it was because she heard Miss Chiyo's story or because she took a cold shower before going to bed, but her dreams were so noisy that her heart palpitated.
Someone spoke in her ear.
I couldn't hear the specific words clearly, and the tone was even extremely gentle.
but.
That's probably highly poisonous honey.
In the dream, I wanted to run away so far away that I would never hear those sounds again.
But couldn't take a step forward.
I can't move any further.
Since you don't need me...
Since you don't need me, why give birth to me?
Why do you always say that I am wrong? Why do you always say that I should not be the one who survives? If it is you who comes back to her, Nan...
"Nanke!"
Nanke suddenly opened his eyes.
Outside the window was the pounding sound of rain, mixed with the rumbling thunder that struck the eardrums.
The rain started again.
What comes into view is the familiar ceiling.
Thorny emotions flowed through her chest, and her heart was pounding. Nanke touched the corners of her eyes. She probably cried in the dream, but the corners of her eyes were very dry.
Nanke shook his head and sat up with his head pressed: "Good morning, Awang."
"You sleep like a pig," Awang slapped a cold water handkerchief on Nanke's face, "Get up quickly, I'm going to see grandpa!"
Nanke was shocked by the ice and took away the handkerchief. The little girl jumped with joy and climbed out of bed and ran outside.
"...Yes, it's easy to identify. Master Yuyu is taking people to isolate them. Is your leg still okay? Wait until you eat..." The opposite door was open, and Katsuragi was talking while changing Kaneo's dressing.
"Need help?" Nanke knocked on the door and asked.
"Nanke!" Guimu turned around with a grin.
"Hiss, be gentle!" Kaneo's facial features were twisted in pain, and he punched Katsuragi.
Gui Mu obeyed and quickly lowered his head.
"I'll do it." Nanke pushed Guimu and replaced him.
Kaneo's legs were still swollen, but they looked much better than they had the past few days.
Gui Mu had nothing to do, so he happily ran to the kitchen to serve the rice, and stood aside holding a bowl and spoon: "Kanexiong, will it be faster if I feed you later?"
"... Come on, you." Kaneo said in disgust.
"Are you so happy early in the morning?" Nanke tied up the splint on Kanxiong and raised his head to ask.
"Of course, I'm telling you Nanke, the new medicine that Kenxiong formulated yesterday can really differentiate between flu and psychotic patients..."
"Katsuragi!" Kaneo scolded in a low voice.
Gui Mu stopped.
Nanke looked back and forth between the two of them and said calmly: "I know."
"Ah?" Guimu was shocked.
"I heard it from Awang's grandfather." Nanke smiled at Kanxiong, "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone. If this matter spreads, it will affect the order of the arsenal."
Nanke could understand their intention of hiding the existence of the evil spirit from her.
It's not just her, the whole Taotaosha is a mixed bag, and there are too many unstable factors.
"Thank you." Kaneo apologized.
"So, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know." Nanke said that everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.
"To be honest, we are currently busy isolating flu patients from psychosis patients, and we are very short of manpower," Kaneo said embarrassedly, "If you are free, can you go to the flu patients and help take care of them?"
Nanke raised his hand and said, "I promise to complete the task."
No longer surprised by her occasional strange little moves, Kaneo laughed softly and took the job that Katsuragi slipped in at every opportunity.
After they finished breakfast, Awang was already sitting in the entrance hall, humming and waiting.
What she was humming was the ditty that Niwa had sung last night, and there was a charcoal drawing crookedly pasted on the wall, probably the one she drew while lying on the back of the Katsura tree.
Nanke stopped. There was no progress in the brush strokes. Except for a big knife, there were just a few stick figures who couldn't tell who was who.
"This is the collapse of the country." Awang got up and pointed at the mushroom-headed man holding a fifty-meter-long knife that she was staring at.
"You guessed it." Nan Ke suppressed a smile and asked the tallest stickman with the longest hair, "Is this Master Yu Yu?"
"Hmm~"
"This is Niwa-sama," Katsuragi came from behind with Kaneo on his back and pointed them out to Nanke one by one, "This is Kaneo, this is you, and this is Awang."
"Gui Mu, I'm so lucky you can recognize me."
"Awang's paintings are charming, aren't they?" Guimu smiled and glanced at Awang.
A Wang's businessmen praised each other: "Guimu's back is also very useful."
Unknown friendships grew.
Kaneo frowned and studied the painting for a while, then suddenly asked: "Where is the osmanthus tree?"
Gui Mu was unexpectedly silent.
"Here it is." Awang poked the black ball next to the smallest stick figure.
Nanke: "Why is the osmanthus the only stone?"
"What I drew is a toad, a toad and a cinnamon tree!"
Gui Mu was heartbroken and walked away with Kaneo on his back.
"Nan Ke, come on, let's go see grandpa!" A Wang grabbed Nan Ke and chased her out.
