Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 42: Night Visit to the City Wall

After arranging matters for Ying and Paimeng, Shao Yun's eyes fell on the other three people. He felt that they should not be treated too specially, so he gave each of them a bottle of ordinary healing medicine as a token of his appreciation.

When he walked to Wendy, he thought of the previous robbery of the Sky Lyre and asked, "I remember I gave you a stick of dynamite. Do you still have it?"

Wendy raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth and said lightly: "I changed the wine to drink, do you believe it?" After that, she blinked her eyes, with a playful expression on her face.

Shao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Wendy. He knew that the boy was joking, but he still remained serious and reminded him: "Be serious. When something happens, remember to use it. Don't feel bad."

Wendy restrained her smile and said seriously, "Don't worry, the explosives are still there."

After Shao Yun gave him the healing medicine, he smelled a faint scent of apple cider on him, frowned, and gave him another bottle of bitter medicinal wine.

"Why give me two bottles?"

Shao Yun gently shook the healing medicine in Wendy's hand and said briefly: "This, drink it when you are injured."

Then, he shook the bitter medicinal wine he was given, with a teasing smile on his face: "This, in case you get drunk again when you're looking for Dragon Tears, use it to sober you up!"

Bitter medicinal wine can completely restore physical strength. As the name suggests, tired people will feel refreshed after drinking it. It is much more powerful than the sobering apple wine!

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Wendy said with a hint of self-mockery, "Am I so unreliable in your eyes? I like to drink, but I'm not so confused about everything I face."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun immediately activated his poisonous tongue skill.

"You're really reliable when you're not drinking, but unfortunately you're either drunk or on your way to being drunk all day long!"

After hearing Shao Yun's venomous words, Wendy wanted to argue and said unconvincedly: "Wasn't I also quite reliable when I took Ying away from West Wind Cathedral?"

Try to use past experiences to prove that you are not that unreliable.

When Shao Yun heard Wendy's explanation, he raised his eyebrows, turned up the corners of his mouth, and smiled meaningfully.

He rolled up his sleeves, exposed his arms, and pretended to teach Wendy a lesson.

"Oh! How dare you say that? I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're the first to start making trouble!"

Everyone else present burst into laughter, even Diluk's mouth corners unconsciously raised, watching Shao Yun and Venti chasing each other, putting on a good show.

Ying even pretended to pull Shao Yun, laughing and admonishing him: "Haha, Shao Yun, don't get excited, don't get excited. Hahaha..."

This Wendy is like the "One-hair Boy" uncle, drinking every day. She is really reliable when encountering danger, but when there is no danger, Wendy, you are the most unreliable!

The only two differences are that they don’t know how to lend money and they will say “hey” when something happens.

After enough of the commotion, Shao Yun mounted his horse, looked at Ying, and specifically warned her, "Ying, if the Hillock people in the Hillock camp in Dadaupa Valley are difficult to deal with, bring everyone back quickly! I'll rob them for you!"

Looking at Paimeng again, Shao Yun also reminded him: "Paimeng, if you encounter danger, hide behind Ying."

Afterwards, Shao Yun looked at Diluk and said jokingly, "Master Diluk, I don't have time to stay here tonight. I might bother you later."

Finally, he turned to Jean and said firmly, "Captain Jean, don't worry, I will protect Mond. If those Fatui dare to cause trouble, I will definitely not leave any of them alive!"

Except for Wendy, Shao Yun gave instructions to everyone.

Wendy looked at Shao Yun eagerly and didn't speak to her until he was about to leave.

He quickly waved his hand and asked expectantly, "What about me? Don't you have anything to tell me?"

There was a hint of mischief and expectation in his words, as if he wanted to get some special instructions from Shao Yun.

Shao Yun looked at Wendy, stroking his chin and said, "I almost forgot about you." He began to think about how to remind Wendy.

After a moment, he raised his head and said to the others, "Everyone, pay attention to Wendy. If he gets drunk during the mission, slap him twice or give him the bitter wine I gave him to cheer him up!"

When Wendy heard this, she immediately said with a bitter face: "Oh, Shao Yun, you are too cruel! Why do others care about giving instructions or saying goodbye, but you make me eat slaps and drink unpalatable potions!"

There was a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in his words, but Shao Yun smiled indifferently. If you are not satisfied with my arrangement, I have other ways.

"Then I've changed my mind. I won't slap Wendy anymore. If you get drunk again..."

He turned his head and looked at Diluk, raised an eyebrow, and a smirk appeared on his lips as he spoke out a new idea.

"Master Diluk, if Venti gets drunk on his way to find Dragon's Tears, you must unite all the taverns in Mondstadt and stop them from selling him alcohol!"

When Wendy heard Shao Yun's words, her face changed in fear. She quickly changed her words, with a hint of panic and pleading in her tone: "Please don't, if I'm drunk, just slap me!"

He clasped his hands together and made a begging expression, obviously frightened by Shao Yun's proposal.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wendy actually dared to get drunk.

The famous saying of the famous warlord suddenly came to his mind. He immediately pretended to be stunned and said in disbelief.

“You really drink!”

Seeing this, Wendy hurriedly explained: "No, no, I will never get drunk!" There was a hint of panic and anxiety in his voice.

After listening to this, Shao Yun deliberately misunderstood, and with a hint of joking in his tone, he asked with a smile: "So you mean you can still drink?"

Wendy looked at Shao Yun's playful smile and couldn't help feeling helpless. He knew that Shao Yun was teasing him on purpose and felt a little awkward.

"Oh, that's not what I meant..."

……

The joke with Wendy slowly came to an end amid the laughter of the others. There was no time to waste.

Shao Yun waved goodbye to everyone with a happy smile on his face.

He patted the horse's neck gently. The horse seemed to sense his owner's mood and gently wagged its tail, as if in response.

Shao Yun gently kicked the horse's belly and left the Chenxi Winery.

The starry sky at night was dazzling, and the moonlight sprinkled on the winding road, adding a bit of mystery to his journey home.

Riding on a horse, I felt the tranquility and coolness of the night. The horse moved forward quickly in the night, and the sound of its hooves echoed in the open fields, which was particularly clear.

From Mondstadt to Dawn Winery, it does feel very far the first time you walk there, but after walking there many times, it becomes just that, and doesn’t feel far anymore.

As the distance got closer, the outline of Mondstadt became clearer and clearer.

Finally, Shao Yun rode his horse across the bridge and stopped in front of the gate of Mondstadt.

The horse was panting heavily, and its hooves tapped lightly on the ground, making a crisp sound, but it just wouldn't go in.

Shao Yun slapped his forehead and said self-reproachfully, "Shit, I forgot about Captain Guanqin's permission to ride a horse in Mondstadt. This is the city defense pass. Why did I add two more words?"

The distance from the city gate to Amber's house is not short! And if he is afraid of oversleeping, the Fatui will make a big noise while he is sleeping, and then he will be passive.

Looking up at the towering city wall and seeing this scene, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and his eyes lit up.

Captain Qin gave him a city defense pass, so couldn't he just rest on the city wall?

After this thought came to his mind, Shao Yun couldn't help but slap himself. Isn't this the 007 work system? He eats and lives at his post, and he has turned himself into a beast of burden!

But there is really no other way at the moment. If I have to blame someone, I should blame myself for talking too much.

He put away his horse, came to the gatekeeper knight "Swann", showed his temporary city defense pass, and wanted to go up to the city wall.

Late at night, if someone from outside wanted to climb the city wall of Mondstadt, anyone who heard it would think it was either a joke or a spy!

The knight named Swan refused without a second thought and wanted to capture Shao Yun and lock him up in the Knights Templar.

But to be honest, his actions were indeed a bit overestimating his own abilities. Shao Yun could beat a dozen ordinary knights with just his bare hands.

In order to avoid unnecessary sighs, she showed him the temporary city defense pass given by Qin.

"I have a pass..."

Knight Swan's originally serious face suddenly became a little surprised. He had never seen such a casual pass.

He took it and looked at it carefully, his eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

"Ah? This..."

This pass is just a card, and at first glance, it feels fake.

But if you look closely, you can see that it is written by Captain Qin, and there is Qin's personal seal on the lower right corner.

Shao Yun thought he hadn't seen the seal, so he pointed to the seal on the corner of the card and said in a deep voice: "This is a temporary city defense pass. You can see it has Captain Qin's seal, so it's real."

Swan thought about it carefully. No matter what kind of certificate it was, it all came down to the stamp. If the stamp was real, then there would be no problem.

He respectfully returned the pass and let Shao Yun onto the city wall.

"It does have Captain Qin's seal, so it should be fine. Go ahead."

Swan watched Shao Yun's back gradually moving away until he disappeared around the corner.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in my heart, and I muttered to myself: "Why does this guy's back look so similar to the back of the man who caught the strange bird a few days ago!

After thinking about it, Swan shook his head. Maybe it was just his illusion. After all, with so many people coming in and out every day, it seemed normal.

The moment Shao Yun stepped onto the city wall, he looked up at the night sky. The Milky Way in the sky was like a handful of diamonds scattered on black velvet, flashing a mysterious and alluring light.

Facing the outside of the city, a cool breeze blew, bringing with it a faint smell of earth outside the city and the faint glow of street lamps on the distant bridge.

The bridge spans the wide surface of Fruit Wine Lake, and the bright lights of the street lamps on the bridge appear particularly lonely and tenacious in the night.

Shao Yun turned around and the scene inside the city immediately came into view.

Looking at the brightly lit commercial street, the lights from the Cat's Tail Tavern cast a warm yellow glow through the windows, making people seem to be able to smell the aroma of wine and the lively atmosphere wafting from it.

The residential area in the distance was immersed in tranquility, with only the occasional barking of dogs breaking the silence.

Shao Yun took a deep breath, feeling the unique night atmosphere, and enjoying the beautiful scenery on the city wall.

"Oh, the scenery here is nice."

What should you do when you see a beautiful scenery? Of course, paint!

I quickly took out my notebook and drew the scenery outside and inside the city. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not everyone can climb the city wall at night to see the scenery!

After finishing the last stroke, Shao Yun admired the lifelike painting in front of him.

In this simple sketch, there are plains in the near distance and mountains in the far distance.

Everything becomes vivid in this simple drawing. Just looking at the black lines, you can almost hear the whistling of the wind and feel the vicissitudes of the mountains in the distance.

The painting is finished, let’s take a break!

He put the book away and leaned against the wall beside the city wall, with his hat pulled down to cover most of his face.

Shao Yun leaned against the wall and rested with his head down. At this moment, the whole world seemed to stand still, and his breathing gradually became slow and deep.

……

As time passed, a faint pale light gradually appeared in the eastern sky.

The sun slowly rose, and the golden sunlight spread over the earth, also shining gently on Shao Yun's body.

The warm feeling penetrated through his clothes and seeped into his skin, as if a pair of warm hands were gently caressing him.

In his sleep, Shao Yun's consciousness was hazy, and he just vaguely felt the warmth around him.

However, at this moment, a soft and familiar voice sounded in his ears, waking him up.

"Mr. Shao Yun, Mr. Shao Yun, is that you?" The voice was gentle and clear, as if he was very worried about himself.

Shao Yun frowned slightly, woke up from his dream, and tried hard to open his eyes.

A familiar face came into view.

"Ah? Good morning, Noelle..."
