Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After an unknown amount of time, Shao Yun slowly woke up.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a familiar scene.

That was the ranch that had appeared in my dream a few days ago. At this moment, the dream continued to play out like a movie.

Shao Yun looked at the familiar sunrise in a trance and muttered to himself, "Am I dreaming again?"

Just as he was full of doubts, he suddenly saw the man "John Marston" standing by the pasture fence waving at him. A look of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked, "Arthur?"

However, just a moment later, John Marston narrowed his eyes, carefully looked at Shao Yun's face, then shook his head slightly, and said with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Oh! You are not him. Although you look alike, you are not him."

Shao Yun walked to John Marston's side and leaned against the pasture fence.

He stared into the distance, as if lost in deep memories, and then said, "A long time ago, I had a similar dream."

"In that dream, I appeared in Tahiti. It was sunny, with blue sea and sky. I saw everyone living a new life there. I talked to Hosea. Everything was so beautiful, as if it was a dream and unreal."

After listening to Shao Yun's story quietly, John Marston nodded thoughtfully and responded softly: "Oh, it does sound like a very good dream."

Shao Yun still stared at the rising sun which was gradually setting in the distance. The sunlight shone on his face, reflecting a faint golden glow.

He said with deep emotion: "Yes, this is indeed just an illusory dream."

He changed the subject, as if he wanted to let go of the thoughts in his mind, smiled with relief, and continued: "Since you are already in a dream, let yourself enjoy the peace and tranquility of this moment."

At this time, Shao Yun withdrew his gaze from the sunset and turned to the ranch behind him, praising sincerely: "To be honest, this ranch is really quite good."

Hearing Shao Yun's praise, John Marston smiled slightly and leaned his upper body against the fence as well.

While gently stroking the fence with his hand, he explained to Shao Yun: "This ranch was built by the joint efforts of me, my uncle, and Charles."

"It took a lot of effort at the time, but seeing the results today, I feel that all the hard work is worth it."

After saying this, John Marston couldn't help but sigh, revealing a trace of sentimentality that was difficult to conceal, and murmured to himself: "Alas, I often can't help but think, if everyone could have been with each other all the time, how great it would be..."

"However, now that things have come to this, too much recollection and emotion will only add to the trouble; however, I often think of the past, although I don't often talk about it."

Shao Yun looked at John Marston with great understanding, nodded in agreement, and agreed: "You are right. There is no point in thinking too much."

In this way, Shao Yun and John Marston stood together quietly, watching the sun slowly rising in the distance.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the sun is still hanging in the sky, frozen there as if by magic, without any change at all.

At this moment, John Marston broke the silence. He turned his head to look at Shao Yun beside him and asked softly, "Want to go shopping?"

Shao Yun nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and responded: "Then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

So, John Marston led the way, and Shao Yun followed closely behind, and the two walked towards the ranch behind them.

Soon they came into the barn on the ranch.

Shao Yun looked around and saw that the barn was very clean and tidy, with several cows lying on the ground resting.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Hearing Shao Yun's question, John Marston stopped, turned around, looked at Shao Yun, and said, "I want to tell you something."

After saying that, he pulled out a box of cigarettes from the backpack on his waist, took out one, lit one of them skillfully, took a deep puff, and then, accompanied by the smoke, he began to tell a story in his thick, smoky voice.

"A blind old man once said something to me. He told me that I remembered the past at the cost of my future. But I didn't know what this sentence meant at that time."

At this point, John Marston paused for a moment, took a few puffs of his cigarette, and continued, "It wasn't until those government agents kidnapped my wife and children and threatened me to go hunt down Bill, Javier, and Dutch that I realized what the old man meant."

After listening to this, Shao Yun nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then asked: "Do you regret going to the snowy mountains to kill Mika? And then exposing your whereabouts?"

John Marston did not respond directly to the question. He just held the cigarette in his hand and asked, "What do you think?"

Shao Yun couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and said jokingly, "You are an idiot whose brain was eaten by a wolf."

Facing Shao Yun's pain, John Marston not only didn't care, but laughed and echoed: "Haha, yes, you are absolutely right!"

Before he finished laughing, he suddenly restrained his expression and asked seriously, "So, if it were you, would you regret it?"

Shao Yun was at a loss for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

John Marston took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, slowly exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, looked at Shao Yun through the hazy smoke, and continued to ask: "Noel, if you chose her, you might have lived a peaceful life now, right?"

Hearing this, Shao Yun also asked back: "So, if you were asked to choose between Bonnie and Abigail, what would you choose?"

John Marston obviously didn't expect Shao Yun to ask this. An embarrassed look appeared on his face for a moment, but he quickly recovered and replied with a wry smile: "Oh, you're right, I'm an idiot."

"But you are also a fool." John Marston pointed at Shao Yun.

Shao Yun waved his hand gently, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "We are both complete idiots."

John Marston took a last deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, then threw the burnt butt to the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

He looked up and continued, "You know what? The only thing people have to fear is fear itself, just like now..."

At this point, John Marston pointed to the tightly closed barn door behind him and continued, "Do you know what's outside the door? Maybe there's nothing, maybe there's a group of people with guns waiting for me to open the door."

After listening to John Marston's words, Shao Yun suddenly realized something and said, "Perhaps what I fear is the uncertain future..."

After a pause, Shao Yun praised John Marston: "The wolf should eat off the other half of your head, then you will become a genius."

John Marston looked at Shao Yun's sudden enlightenment and responded, "You finally understand that even if we are faced with a certain death, we can still face death calmly, right?"

"We all swore to protect the ones we love, didn't we?"

Then, John Marston quickly glanced around, and finally, his eyes fell steadily on Shao Yun, and said: "It seems that the time is up, and you still have some important things to do, don't you?"

Shao Yun was slightly startled when he heard this. He naturally put his hands on his waist, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he replied helplessly: "Oh, I see, Hosea told me the same thing at that time; so, Nashida's plan failed?"

"I knew it would be useless even if I reminded her."

At this moment, John Marston slowly pulled out the exquisite cowboy revolver from his waist.

He weighed the gun in his hand slightly, and then he threw the gun to Shao Yun.

Seeing this, Shao Yun stretched out his right hand and caught the revolver flying towards him.

Seeing Shao Yun successfully catch the thrown weapon, John Marston nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his hand, pointed his index finger at Shao Yun, and solemnly instructed: "Take this thing and do what you should do."

Before he finished speaking, John Marston turned decisively and walked towards the closed door of the barn.

When he reached the door, John Marston slowly stopped, placed his hands on the door, and said, "It's time for me to push open the door and see what's outside."
