Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun and Ying rode their horses and finally arrived at the small market in the Shimen area centered around a tea stall.

Originally this was a tea stall where travelers could take a break.

As time went by, some merchants, for the sake of convenience, started selling goods around the tea stalls.

After a while, the place became lively.

Liyue also dispatched Thousand Rock Troops to maintain order.

The stalls were filled with a wide variety of goods, ranging from exquisite porcelain to practical farm tools.

At the tea stall, the steaming hot tea exudes an enticing aroma, attracting passers-by to stop and taste it.

The food stalls are filled with fragrance, making people salivate.

There are more than ten simple bungalows in the distance, which are hotels, or inns, for people to rest.

Although it is not large in scale, it is sufficient to meet the basic needs of passers-by.

There were a few travelers resting and sitting at the tables in front of the tea stall. Some were talking in low voices, some were resting with their eyes closed, enjoying their rare leisure time.

The arrival of Shao Yun and Ying attracted everyone's attention, and people cast envious glances at them.

Shao Yun looked around the tea stall, then looked at Ying, asking for her opinion.

"How about we rest here for a while?"

Ying nodded and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'm a little thirsty too."

So the three of them dismounted and led their horses towards the tea stall.

He found an empty table and sat down, then tied the horse to a wooden stake nearby. Although the stake had not been used for a long time, it was still strong and stable.

The tea stall owner "Uncle Zhou" walked over slowly, a little hunched.

Although he is old, his eyes are bright and reveal the wisdom and calmness honed by time.

He spoke with an authentic accent and greeted them warmly, "Dear guests, would you like a big bowl of tea to quench your thirst?"

Shao Yun looked up and saw an amiable elderly man, so he asked, "Boss, how much is this tea?"

Uncle Zhou held up a finger and replied with a smile, "One thousand Mora for a pot of tea, and you can get free hot water after you finish it. A pot of tea is enough for five or six people."

Shao Yun thought the price was fair, so he took out the Mora and handed it to Uncle Zhou.

"Then have a pot."

Uncle Zhou took the money and turned to get the teapot and large bowl.

After a while, he came over with a pot of steaming tea and three large bowls, and quickly brewed tea for the three of them.

As he poured the tea, he said, "Please enjoy your tea, my three guests. Although this tea tastes a little bitter, a sip of it will definitely help you get rid of the heat in this hot summer."

[Kuding Tea: Restores a small amount of core health, core stamina, and core Death Eye. ]

Shao Yunyun picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea. The tea tasted bitter at first, but after tasting it carefully, a faint sweetness spread across the tip of his tongue.

He couldn't help but drink a few more sips and felt much more refreshed.

However, Paimon's reaction to the tea was completely different. After taking a sip, her face immediately turned ugly, and she almost spit out the tea, shouting, "It's so bitter!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun joked, "I have some medicine here, this tastes better, would you like some?"

After hearing this, Paimon immediately shook his head in resistance and said, "Compared to your potion, I would rather drink tea."

After saying that, she took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and drank all the tea in the bowl in one breath.

Looking at Paimeng's appearance, Shao Yun and Ying couldn't help laughing.

……

Ten minutes ago.

In the corner of the tea stall, a man and a woman sat face to face, keeping each other company. They were like two lonely stars drifting in the vast sea of ​​people, who had finally found a temporary resting place.

The man's name is Jianqiu. He looks like a gentle scholar. He wears glasses and his eyes reveal a gentle and elegant temperament.

Although his clothes were not gorgeous, they were neat and clean, as if exuding his bookish aura. He sat there quietly, with the figure of the woman opposite him imprinted in his eyes.

The girl's name is Hua Chu. She is like a flower bud about to bloom. Although she is dressed simply, her natural beauty cannot be concealed.

Her speech and behavior revealed the temperament of a lady from a noble family, and her every move seemed so elegant and proper.

At this moment, she was rubbing her aching ankle, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue in her eyes.

"Jianqiu, how many days have we been walking?" Hua Chu asked softly, her voice as sweet as a clear spring in a mountain stream.

Upon hearing this, Jianqiu raised his head slightly and looked towards the distant starry sky, as if recalling every little detail along the way.

"Miss, we have been walking for ten days." His voice revealed a kind of firmness and persistence, as if the hardships of these ten days were just a piece of cake for him.

After hearing this, Hua Chu sighed softly, with an embarrassment on his face.

"My feet hurt so much. Let's rest here at Shimen tonight. Let's take a rest at the small inn over there. We have been sleeping in the open air all the way. This is my first time walking far away. I..."

Her voice trailed off, as if she were ashamed of her weakness.

Jianqiu watched Hua Chu rubbing her ankle with a look of pain on her face, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

"Miss, please hold on a little longer. We are still in Liyue. We will be fine once we get to Mondstadt. The merchants I came from Mondstadt told me that there are no treasure-stealing groups, no Hilichurls, and even no Fatui there. It is a paradise!"

His voice was full of determination and expectation, as if the promised land was just around the corner.

After Hua Chu heard this, a glimmer of yearning flashed in her eyes. She glanced at her still aching ankle, then looked at Jian Qiu, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you, but can you let me rest for a while?"

There was a hint of coquetry and pleading in her voice.

Jianqiu felt very embarrassed. The longer he stayed in Liyue, the more dangerous it would be.

Looking at the little money he had, he realized that if he hired another sedan chair, the money would not be enough.

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence. Jianqiu looked up and saw Shao Yun and Ying riding two tall horses to the tea stall.

Jianqiu looked at the two strong horses and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

……

Shao Yun sat at the tea table, holding a tea bowl in his hand, his eyes fixed on the brown-green tea leaves in the cup, wondering what the difference was between this thing and the black tea that Lisa had given him.

Inadvertently, his eyes swept across the corner of the teahouse and found a man sitting there, staring at him with burning eyes.

There was a hint of curiosity and inquiry in the man's eyes, as if he had a strong interest in Shao Yun.

Shao Yun nodded slightly, seemingly not minding the sudden gaze.

He took a sip of tea, and the bitter feeling spread in his mouth, making him feel relaxed and happy.

He thought to himself that perhaps the man was attracted by the agile horse, which was why he paid so much attention to him.

However, the man didn't seem to be willing to give up.

He seemed to have struggled in his heart for a while, and finally made up his mind. He picked up the teacup in front of him and walked slowly towards Shao Yun.

"Hello, meeting is fate. Can we be friends?" The man walked up to Shao Yun and said with a smile.

His voice is gentle and sincere, giving people a friendly feeling.

Seeing this, Paimeng also smiled friendlyly. He was about to raise the bowl in his hand to respond to the man's kindness, but was stopped by Shao Yun.

"Paimon, be patient."

Shao Yun turned to look at the man, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

If someone shows you kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief, especially in a place where you are unfamiliar with the place.

Shao Yun is a person who may have the intention to harm others, but must always be on guard against others!

"What's your name?" Shao Yun asked, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

The man didn't seem to expect Shao Yun to ask his name so directly. After a pause, he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied, "My name is Jianqiu."

When Shao Yun saw Jianqiu calmly introduce himself, he also responded expressionlessly: "My friends call me Karahan."

There was no trace of emotion in the voice, as if this was his own name.

After hearing this, Jianqiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and outlined a kind smile: "Hello, Mr. Callahan."

His voice was warm and friendly, which made people let down their guard involuntarily, but it didn't work for Shao Yun.

After hearing Shao Yun's introduction, Ying and Paimeng looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes, but they didn't say much. They knew Shao Yun had his own plans, so they tacitly chose to remain silent.

Jianqiu turned his gaze to Ying and Paimeng, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "May I ask what are the names of the two girls?"

Shao Yun interrupted at this moment. He pointed at a woman not far away and asked Jianqiu, "Who is that?"

There was a hint of inquiry in his tone, and he seemed to be very interested in the woman.

Jianqiu looked in the direction of Shao Yun's finger and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He turned around, and his voice revealed a hint of intimacy. He said to Shao Yun: "Her name is Hua Chu..."

However, Shao Yun immediately asked: "What do you do?"

There was a hint of severity in his tone, as if he was interrogating Jianqiu.

Jianqiu was stunned by Shao Yun's sudden question. He answered subconsciously: "I am an employee of the owner of Minghua Bank..."

At this point, he paused, then added with a smile: "I just want to make friends with these three extraordinary heroes. I have no ill intentions."

There was a hint of humility and sincerity in his tone, trying to lighten the mood.

When Paimeng heard someone praising him, he immediately said proudly like a little fox with its tail raised: "Hehe, then..."

However, before she could finish her words, Ying covered her mouth.

Shao Yun saw that Ying had quickly and effectively controlled Paimeng, making it impossible for the latter to continue interrupting. He nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Ying's tacit cooperation.

Then he turned to Jianqiu and said in a calm but clear voice: "This girl is Mary, and this younger girl is Bess. We are travelers, traveling around."

After hearing this, Jianqiu's smile became more gratified. He exclaimed: "Ah, it's a traveler, good, not bad."

His tone was full of admiration and envy for the travelers, as if he was also longing to travel freely like the three of them.

However, Shao Yun did not let down his guard. He pointed at Hua Chu in the distance again and asked sharply, "Is that yours?"

There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice, which made Jianqiu unable to avoid the question.

When Jianqiu heard this question, he showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he muttered: "She..."

The voice was low and hesitant, as if there was some unspeakable secret.

Seeing this, Shao Yun stood up, walked to Jianqiu's side, gently pushed him to his seat, and said, "I will go and ask in person. It is rude not to return the favor."

After saying that, Shao Yun turned to Ying and ordered, "Mary, help me keep an eye on this friendly gentleman."

Ying nodded, indicating that she understood Shao Yun's intention. Then she stared at Jianqiu warily to make sure he would not do anything dangerous.
