Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 141: The Past of Hua Nian

After hearing these words, Shao Yun's heart sank.

When I first found the pagan mask, I only found the mask, not the head. So it's here...

He had already imagined the scene where the man in the top hat handed the pagan skull that was under Indian witchcraft to Nian Hua, and he understood everything in his heart.

It was precisely by relying on that power that did not belong to the continent of Teyvat that Huanian was able to recover from his injuries quickly and even become stronger than before.

Thinking of this, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said helplessly: "Damn, if I had known this, I wouldn't have meddled in other people's business!"

Then Shao Yun took a deep breath and asked the doubts in his heart.

"I have a question. I have already wiped out Zhudian Fang. What grievances do you still have?"

Hu Tao said that Nian Hua died by jumping into a well, and subconsciously thought that she committed suicide. So where does the injustice come from now?

Huanian's eyes were flickering with a faint light, her face was pale, but there was a determination in her eyes.

She was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of sadness in her voice.

"I was killed by someone else, and the murderer is still at large. I hope you can help me!"

Shao Yun frowned. He could feel the grief and unwillingness in Nian Hua's words, and planned to interrogate him!

There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng and a Shao Qingtian in Liyue. They hold the gavel, while I hold the six-shot gun!

"What exactly happened? Can you tell me in detail?"

Hua Nian gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, his voice low and angry: "I was killed by that damn Jianqiu and the second daughter of Minghua Money House, Huachu!"

Shao Yun heard this and decided to test her. Hu Tao said that the words of evil spirits cannot be trusted, so who knows if he will be used.

He took out the diary he carried with him, turned to a blank page, drew a common face with a pen, and showed it to Nianhua.

"Is it this one?"

Huanian stared at the painting for a moment, then shook his head, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Not this one, who is this? I don't know him."

Shao Yun quickly drew another common face and handed it to Nian Hua.

"Is it this person?"

Huanian looked at him carefully again, then shook his head firmly and began to describe Jianqiu's appearance to Shao Yun.

"Not at all. Jianqiu wears glasses, which gives him a literary vibe. The two men you drew are neither of them!"

When Shao Yun saw Nian Hua's detailed description, he became even more convinced that she was not lying.

He quickly turned to the portrait painted at Shimen in his diary, which showed the faces of Hua Chu and Jian Qiu, and showed it to Nianhua.

"Yes……"

Before Shao Yun could finish his words, Huanian was already excitedly trying to snatch the diary away. Tears were glistening in her eyes and her voice was trembling.

"Yes, those two bitches! I will never forget their faces!"

Shao Yun thought of what happened in Shimen. Jianqiu and Huachu said they were going to elope. Could it be that in order to elope, these two people actually let Nianhua be a scapegoat to cover up their sight?

"Tell me in detail! What is going on?" Shao Yun decided to give it a try.

Huanian sighed deeply and recalled those days that he could not bear to look back on.

"Half a year ago, I was not only kicked out of Zhudianfang, but also owed the non-existent Zhudianfang 8 million Mora. From childhood to college, I played musical instruments such as the qin and se. They were my only pride and the only thing I knew how to play. So, I could only perform on the streets, use my expertise in the qin and se to feed my children, and repay the false debt bit by bit."

"Three months ago," Huanian continued, "Jianqiu from the Minghua Chamber of Commerce found me performing on the street. He told me that he hoped I could go to the Minghua Bank and perform for their second daughter. He promised me a reward of 100,000 Mora. For someone like me who only earns a few hundred Mora by singing and playing on the street in the sun and wind every day, it is an astronomical figure."

Shao Yun couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Only 100,000? Is the Minghua Chamber of Commerce so stingy?"

Hua Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head. "One hundred thousand Mora is an unimaginable amount of money for me. I once sang on the street for a whole day, and the Mora I earned was only enough to buy some noodles and vegetables to make a living. So, when I heard the number of one hundred thousand Mora, I was really tempted and grabbed this opportunity!"

Shao Yun coughed softly. It seemed that he had earned too much money and lived a good life for too long, forgetting about the life of an ordinary person.

Huanian continued to tell her story.

"After I finished playing the zither, I was stunned by the 'mountain' of 100,000 Moras in front of me. During my days in the Pearl Boat, I saw wealthy merchants who spent money like water, but we could only get less than half of that."

"I accepted the huge sum of money without hesitation." Hua Nian continued, "Miss Hua Chu smiled and told me that she liked my music very much and hoped to continue listening to it in the future. I felt honored by her enthusiasm and appreciation."

Then, Huanian fell into memories again.

"In the month that followed, Miss Huachu always sent Jianqiu to find me every now and then, asking me to play for her. Each time, the reward was no less than 100,000 Mora. At that time, I really thought I had met the noble person of my life."

Her tone was full of gratitude and joy, as if that time was the best memory of her life.

"I thought these two were true gentlemen, people who would lend a helping hand in times of trouble. However, I was wrong, so wrong. These two are beasts in human skin, and their hearts are colder than ice."

Hua Nian's voice was trembling, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his heart.

She thought back to that night, the night that changed her life.

"Two months ago, on that night, after I put my child to sleep, Jianqiu suddenly came to visit. He said that Miss Huachu's family was hosting a banquet and needed a musician to entertain. If I played well, I would get a reward of 5 million. I hesitated, but in the end I couldn't resist the huge temptation."

Hua Nian took a deep breath and continued, "Just when I was about to leave, Jianqiu gave me a mask. He said it was to protect me from being targeted by those greedy guests. I was grateful at the time and thought that these two people really cared about me. However, I was wrong. It was a trap, a trap that led me into an endless abyss."

She clenched her fists, as if she wanted to concentrate all her anger on this point.

"He took me to a remote place where there was a rickshaw. Just as I was about to get on, he threw a stone at me. At that moment, I felt unprecedented fear and despair. He hit me in the face with the stone again and again. I felt dizzy and my mind went blank."

Huanian's voice became lower and sadder.

"When I was about to lose consciousness, I heard Hua Chu's voice. She said, 'I brought my clothes, change them for her quickly'!"

"According to the ancient tradition of Liyue, on the seventh day after my death, my soul floated back to Liyue Harbor. I found that Miss Huachu was also 'dead'. Later, the 'devil' you mentioned told me that I was just a scapegoat for this 'beast'. The two of them fled and I was ruthlessly used."
