Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

The two quickened their pace, and soon they arrived at a small hut at Chihu Rock.

Although this small house is simple, it gives people a warm feeling. Yizhu pushed open the wooden door and the two walked in.

Yizhu looked around and found his sister Yixian squatting in the corner of the room, hugging her knees tightly with her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Yizhu's heart tightened all of a sudden. He walked to Yixian, squatted down, and said softly: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Before he could finish his words, Yixian suddenly threw himself into Yizhu's arms, hugged him tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Wuwu, brother! Brother, when I was cleaning the room, I accidentally broke mom's piano. I... I don't know what to do, will mom be angry..."

Yizhu gently patted Yixian's back to comfort her. He said softly, "Sister, I'm glad you're okay. Mom won't blame you. She just hopes you can be sensible and take care of yourself. Besides, that harp is called a se, not a qin."

After hearing this, Yixian finally raised his head and looked at Yizhu with tearful eyes.

She seemed to find comfort in her brother's words, and the fear and anxiety in her heart gradually dissipated. She hugged Yizhu tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and fears.

Shao Yun watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but be moved.

Shao Yun looked carefully at the simple house where the brother and sister lived. Everywhere he looked, it was empty and simple.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this doesn't look like a home at all.

Looking around, the mottled marks on the walls, the broken tiles on the ground, and the tables and chairs that can barely be called furniture all reveal the hardship and difficulty of life.

While Shao Yun was lost in thought, Yizhu gently comforted his crying sister Yixian. His words were simple but full of warmth and love.

Then, Yizhu turned to Shao Yun with a hint of apology on his face: "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Shao Yun shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care.

He walked up to Yixian, squatted down, and gently comforted her: "Little girl, don't be sad. It doesn't matter if things are broken, we can find someone to fix it. Or, you can try to fix it yourself, maybe you will get something unexpected."

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Yixian sniffed and tried to stop her tears. She nodded, but her face still showed some grievance and helplessness.

Seeing this, Yizhu took his sister's hand and gently coaxed her to go upstairs to play with toys.

After the brother and sister left, Yizhu asked Shao Yun to sit down.

"Big brother, please sit down for a while. I'll go and boil some water for you."

Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't bother. I'll just sit for a while and leave."

Yizhu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He scratched his head and finally nodded: "Oh, okay, big brother."

……

After chatting with Yizhu for a while, Shao Yun's eyes fell on the antique musical instrument on the cabinet, and he asked with some curiosity: "Although I am not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but can I take a look at the instrument called '瑟'?"

Yizhu, who was standing nearby, scratched the back of his head with a slightly confused expression. He asked, "Big brother, can you fix it?"

Shao Yun shook his head, he didn't have that skill.

"I can find similar musical instruments to appease your sister. As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it. Just think of it as a good deed on my part."

However, Ichizhu shook his head firmly, with a hint of determination in his voice.

"No need, big brother. This se means a lot to me and my sister, and it can't be replaced by just any substitute."

Yizhu glanced at the stairs and confirmed that Yixian was not eavesdropping, so he said to Shao Yun: "By the way, big brother, you know that my mother is dead."

Shao Yun nodded gently, his eyes full of sympathy and understanding, and said softly: "Hu Tao has already told me. Do you need comfort? I must admit that I am not a good psychologist, but if you need comfort, I can say something nice."

However, Yizhu shook his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He bit his lip, as if struggling to decide whether to speak. Finally, he spoke.

"No, that's not what I want to say. That ser is a relic left to us by our mother, and we cherish it very much."

"But I once overheard my mother telling a few uncles that she had left a lot of important things at her workplace and hadn't had time to get them back. Those things meant a lot to her, and I think... I want to ask you, big brother, can you help me get those things back?"

Yizhu's words were full of pleading, his eyes fixed on Shao Yun, as if waiting for an answer that would bring him hope.

The system pops up a prompt.

[You can choose to help Yizhu. Agree: Increase honor value. Reject: No change in honor value. ]

Shao Yun glanced at the prompt and weighed the options in his mind.

He felt that he had nothing to do at the moment and could help the child named Yizhu.

He smiled slightly and nodded gently, as if responding to the call of his heart.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do and can help you."

Shao Yun's words were like a ray of sunshine, warming Yizhu's heart.

A bright smile broke out on Yizhu's face, his innocent eyes sparkled with gratitude, and he expressed his joy without concealing his feelings.

"Thank you so much, big brother. Actually, I have looked for many people before, but to no avail."

Shao Yun couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does that mean?" He wanted to know what kind of story was hidden behind this.

Yizhu took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his thoughts. He slowly said, "My mother used to work in a place called Zhudianfang. I think there are some of her belongings left there."

"I asked the neighbors to help me get back the things my mother left there, but they all refused for various reasons."

"Later, I found an uncle from the Qianyan Army. He agreed to it, but he didn't bring back the relics in the end."

The three words "Zhu Dian Fang" were repeatedly pondered in Shao Yun's mouth, and he whispered to himself.

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" There was some confusion and thought in the tone.

Suddenly, Shao Yun's eyes froze, as if he had thought of something. He turned to look at Yizhu standing next to him and asked.

"You're not talking about the ship on the sea, are you?"

Yizhu scratched his head and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"I don't know. Mom never told me where she worked. I overheard where she worked."

Shao Yun nodded, already having the answer in his mind, he stood up and said, "No more words, I'll help you." His voice was firm and powerful, as if giving him a pillar of great courage.

When Yizhu heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face. He looked at Shao Yun gratefully and said, "Thank you, big brother." That smile was full of innocence and gratitude.

The system pops up a prompt.

[Your honor value in the Liyue region has increased, and your friendly behavior will be rewarded by the world. 】

Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand, jokingly saying, "You should thank a blonde sister. She didn't let me leave Liyue Harbor, so I have so much free time."

There was a hint of joking in his words, but also a hint of helplessness. If he could leave Liyue Harbor, he would not care about such things.

Just as Shao Yun was about to step out of the door, he seemed to think of something, stopped, and turned to look at Yizhu.

"By the way, what's your mother's name?"

Yizhu blurted out without any hesitation.

"My mother's name is Huanian."

The sound of the strings and pillars reminds me of my youth. This mother is quite cultured.

Shao Yun nodded slightly, engraving the name deeply in his heart. He nodded to Yizhu and said, "Wait for my good news."

……

The midday sun shone like golden silk on the road to Chihuyan. Shao Yun left the home of the two siblings Yixian and Yizhu and headed towards the pier of Liyue Harbor.

As he walked on the road, he frowned slightly and whispered to himself: "Zhudianfang, what the hell is that place? I kind of forgot."

Just as he was lost in thought, Chunxiang Kiln on the roadside came into view.

He passed by here unknowingly and happened to meet Ying'er who was busy.

When Ying'er saw Shao Yun, a delighted smile immediately appeared on her face. She waved her hand and greeted him enthusiastically, "Hey! Isn't this Mr. Shao Yun? You came at the right time. I was just thinking of sending the ointment over!"

Shao Yun was brought back to reality by Ying'er's voice. He came to his senses and looked at the exquisite gift box that Ying'er handed over to him.

I almost forgot about this. I spent Playboy’s money to buy a gift for Ying!

He immediately took it with a smile and said gratefully: "Oh, thank you so much, I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

He slowly put the gift box containing the ointment into his Eastern Legend backpack and was about to leave.

Just then, Ying'er's voice broke the silence.

She looked at Shao Yun curiously, her bright eyes flashing with inquiry.

"I remember that you have been spending time at Tian Tiezui's place for more than a month. What are you doing?"

Shao Yun was slightly stunned, then pointed helplessly in the direction of the distance.

"I have to go to Zhudian Boat for something."

When Ying'er heard this, she immediately showed a teasing expression, as if she had caught something.

She chuckled and shook her head, a hint of teasing in her words.

"Oh my, this is a common problem among men. The flowers at home are not as fragrant as the wild flowers. You said at the beginning that you only had one person in your heart, but you didn't expect that..."

Before she finished her words, Shao Yun's face had turned gloomy, and the Scofield revolver in his hand was already pointed at Ying'er's head.

His voice was cold and firm, as if it would not allow any doubt.

"Please repeat that to me?"

Ying'er's face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper. Shao Yun's sudden change of attitude was like a docile cat turning into a ferocious leopard, which frightened her to death.

"No, no, no!" Ying'er's voice was so trembling that it was almost inaudible. She clasped her hands together, her eyes full of pleading, "I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made such an excessive joke."

Shao Yun's face was as hard as steel. He did not soften his heart because of Ying'er's plea for mercy. Instead, he asked more sternly: "If you want me to calm down, then answer my question!"

Ying'er nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice. She pointed carefully at the gun in Shao Yun's hand, her voice tinged with tears.

"Okay, okay, can you take the weapon back?"

Shao Yun did not respond, but pressed the gun tighter against Ying'er's head. Every word he spoke was like a cold hammer hitting Ying'er's heart.

"If you want me to calm down, just answer my question. Do you know where Zhudianfang is?"

Ying'er took a deep breath, as if to calm her inner fear, and then slowly said: "It is a combination of a gambling house, a brothel and a theater. To be precise, the Zhudian Boat is a 'flower boat'!"

Although her voice was trembling, the content was clear.

Shao Yun continued to ask: "Do you know Miss Huanian?"

Ying'er's heart rose to her throat again. She said tremblingly, "I only know that she used to be an ordinary prostitute on the Zhudian Boat! But I heard that she was kicked out half a year ago. It seems that it was because of her two children. She redeemed herself."

Shao Yun's eyes became sharper, as if he was going to push her into a desperate situation.

"How am I supposed to get on the boat?"

Ying'er was so frightened that she almost cried. She said in a trembling voice, "I don't know. I've never been there, and yet this is all they know!"

There was endless fear and pleading in her voice, like a bird trapped in a trap.
