Genshin Impact: Please don’t bully me, fellow stragglers

"Ahaha..." The worker scratched his head in embarrassment, "This matter should not be mentioned to a noble person like the girl, but we ordinary people really can't find a place to complain. As you know, after the work is stopped, Niwa-sama has reduced the daily quota of meals, which is okay. After all, we don’t have to work. We just don’t need to starve to death. But in the past two days, Katsuragi-sama suddenly ordered us to go hunting with the soldiers unless we were arrested... It was a rainy day. Going up the mountain, there are monsters on the mountain, and we don’t have enough to eat, so how can we deal with them, don’t you think?”

He complained for a long time, and finally asked her: "The girl has a good heart at first glance. I heard that you are on good terms with all the adults. Can you please be kind and let us go?"

Normally, Nanke would probably deal with him, but she would do her best.

But she was really not in that mood now. She looked into the worker's calculating smile and asked in a calm voice: "So you are a deserter?"

"How can you say that!" The worker's expression changed suddenly.

Nanke remained silent and ended the conversation, looking in the direction where the guards left.

"Hmph, there are some high-ranking guys who eat hot and spicy food, eat meat and wine all day long, but do nothing but bully innocent people," the worker gritted his teeth and said in a sinister tone, "When the rain stops and these things are spread, The black gauze hat is not guaranteed!"

Nanke's reaction was mediocre. The worker looked at her smooth side face. Anger and hatred arose in his heart. He pulled her arm: "Sister, I heard that it is popular for officials to hire prostitutes. You have been around adults for so long." …”

A chill ran up Nanke's back.

But the strange thing is that the stiff body reflexively maintained the surface calmness, without even making an evasive movement.

"presumptuous!"

Before Nanke had time to think about why, a long black knife slapped the worker's hand down.

The worker said "Ouch", grabbed his hand and fell to the ground rolling: "My hand! My hand is broken!"

The chief imperial officer frowned, and sheathed the sword: "Your hand is broken? Then take it away and chop it off."

"Yes, sir." Behind him was a guard who came back with a bamboo hat. He handed the things to Nanke, stopped the workers and pulled them into the rain.

"No! My hand is not broken! It is not broken! I was wrong, let me go! Let me go!"

The guard slowed down his pace, pulled off the glove, and directly blocked the worker's mouth.

"Master Yuyu," Nanke looked at them and asked, "You don't really want to chop off his hand, do you?"

"It's just a threat. The more miserable he screams, the better the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys." Yu Yuzhang was watching the two people drifting away, and turned around, "Nan Ke, why don't you stay in the house and run out to get wet in the rain? ?”

"I came out after Guobeng," she sighed, "I was about to go back."

"What a coincidence, I also came here after Niyu," Yu Yuchangzheng frowned even deeper, "Niyu said he had left something behind and went back to get it. I saw that he didn't come back, so I came over to look for him. Have you met him? "

"No," Nanke thought for a moment and asked, "Did you encounter the collapse of the country?"

Yu Yu Changzheng also shook his head.

It's strange. They were obviously walking opposite each other, so why did the two of them disappear halfway through?

"Perhaps Niyu still doesn't want to be tortured, so he took the country to count the petals." Yu Yuchang changed the subject, "I guess it will be difficult to find them for a while. Come on, I will take you back first."

"Thank you, Master Yuyu." Nanke put on his bamboo hat and followed him.

On the way, Nanke vaguely mentioned something about hunting without enough food.

"What he said is generally correct. However, their meals are voluntarily deducted from the military rations by the soldiers." The chief minister said with a worried look on his face, "This indolent guy should be glad that he is an ordinary worker and not at my disposal. of prisoners.”

Nanke: "...Master Yuyu, please calm down."

"Okay, I'll send you here," Yu Yuzhang softened his expression, stopped and said, "Go back, there are always some people who are idle and causing trouble. You are still injured, so don't leave when there is no one around. Gone outside."

"I'm causing trouble for you." Nanke stood at the door of Sizheng's house, lowering his head slightly.

Yu Yuchangzheng said "hmm" and strode away.

Seeing his back submerged in the rain, Nanke reached out and patted his face, exhaled a long breath, turned around and stepped into the yard.

In fact, she is almost the same as the worker.

Good for nothing, good for nothing.

There were also knives with their edges broken off scattered around the room. Nanke put them all into a linen bag, tied them up and threw them in the corner.

In the middle of the night, Guobeng has not returned yet.

Nanke tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he sat up with his clothes on and pressed his forehead again and again.

Still not working, even if I haven't slept for two days and one night, as long as I close my eyes, I will still see shaking leg bones and silent graves in front of me.

Nanke suddenly missed Guobeng's always warm body temperature.

She lit the lamp and was in a daze for a while. Then she heard someone knocking on the door: "Nanke, are you still asleep?"

It was the voice of Yu Yu Changzheng.

"Master Yuyu?" Nanke quickly ran over and opened the door for him.

Yu Yu Changzheng's attire was still the same as during the day, and even his expression was the same gloomy one.

"Guobeng didn't come back either?" He quickly glanced around the room and asked.

Nanke nodded and immediately realized something: "Lord Niyu..."

"I've been waiting in his study for more than two hours, and no one from Escher's side said he showed up." Yu Yuzhang was pondering slightly, glanced at her, held the handle of the knife and stepped back, "I'll go there myself. Look, I’m sorry to disturb your rest.”

"Master Yuyu, I too..." Nanke took a step forward, stopped and pursed his lips, held the door frame tightly and asked again, "Can you let me go with you?"

Yu Yu Changzheng did not refuse.

The matter is of great importance and should not be publicized until Niwa's disappearance is confirmed. Bringing Nanke along can reduce unnecessary suspicion.

Escher was placed under house arrest in a wooden house near the knife-forging workshop. Soldiers were supposed to be strictly guarding him, but looking around, there was not a single figure in the dark rain curtain.

The imperial chief raised his arm to stop Nanke, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and moved forward cautiously.

As he got closer, he could see many soldiers lying on the ground.

As if at the same time, they all fell to their posts without any resistance.

Nanke ran over to check the breathing of several of them: "Master Yu Yu, they are all still alive!"

Without exception, the fainting soldiers clenched their hands tightly, clutching the soil and grass clippings under their bodies. There were still some burnt marks on their fingertips. The imperial chief turned over the body of one of them and frowned: "Burn?"

"No, this should be..." Nanke hesitated for a second, "It was an electric shock injury."

Yu Yu Changzheng obviously didn't know Guobeng's ability. He stood up after being slightly confused: "You wait outside, I'll go in and see Escher."

Through a door, the oil lamp was lit, Escher was restrained by handcuffs and leg irons, sitting on the narrow bed next to the wall, raising his thin eyebrows.

Escher first looked at Yu Yu Changzheng, then cast his gaze at Nanke, and said with a smile: "You are a step late, the device that closes the heart of the furnace has been taken away by the puppet."

"Doll...?" Yu Yuchang took a short breath, lifted Escher's collar, and asked coldly, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know that."

"Where's Niwa?"

"I haven't seen him."

Facing the cold and stern face of Yu Yuchang, Escher looked calm and even had the mood to sarcastically say to Nanke: "Miss Nanke, why don't you have a long memory? I said that a dirty heart can't bear it. You God, a doll that doesn’t even have a heart can’t replace you, right?”

Yu Yuzhang was looking back at Nanke.

He looked in disbelief.

"Master Yu Yu..."

"Didn't Niwa tell you?" Yu Yuchang was throwing Escher away, furious, "The mistakes we made do not need to be borne by the children!"

Yu Yuzhang was running out with his sword in hand.

"Ahem!" Escher stroked his strangled throat and looked at his back and sighed, "It's a pity. I thought I could at least provoke you. People like Ta Tao Sha are really as broad-minded as the others. ."

"Have you really never met Lord Niyu?" Nanke frowned heavily.

"Honesty is one of the things I'm most proud of," Escher laughed.
