Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous
Chapter 94: Wheat Ears (1)
"The first one is sick, the second one is going to take care of it, the third one is going to collect herbs, and the fourth one is going to stew~"
The sound of a string of doggerel rang out from behind the rockery. Several servants who were working there stood up one after another, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Is there any movement? Did I hear it wrong?"
"I don't think so. I seemed to hear a sound, it seemed to be..."
"It sounds like some kind of limerick. From the sound of the voice, it's a little girl. Whose child is running around? Why is she running into our yard?"
"We can't delay this. The master said that we are in an extraordinary period now. Any suspicious person must be found and brought to the master for interrogation."
"What are you waiting for? Find it quickly."
Several servants whispered for a long time, and finally picked up the mops and brooms in their hands and began a carpet search near the rockery.
Hu Tao moved among them in a mischievous manner. Being a little girl with a big heart, she hid behind them countless times, grinned mischievously on purpose, frightened the servants, and then disappeared.
"What's going on... Could it be... haunted?"
"Where did a ghost come from in broad daylight? Why are you so superstitious? In my opinion, it is the soul of someone who accidentally fell into a well and drowned while drawing water. He wandered around in the mortal world and got lost. He happened to pass by us and saw this rockery. He remembered his past and felt that he died tragically, so he wanted to find someone to take the blame for him."
"What you said is no different from what I said. If you make up a story, it won't be superstition anymore."
"Are you...looking for me?"
All the servants followed the sound and turned around to look.
The little ghost "Youyou" released by Walnut waved at them with a silly smile.
When the servants saw "Youyou", they were all frightened to death without even a sound.
Hu Tao jumped down from the rockery in astonishment. "That's it? They're all lying down before I even do anything myself."
Zhongli followed closely and said, "Master Hu is wise and powerful. He only needs to make a few moves to reach the limit among us."
Hu Tao spread his hands and raised his eyebrows: "Guest, can you please stop treating me perfunctorily? I thought this would be a very interesting process, and I even chose the North Gate where there are the most people. In the end, it ended so casually. It's really boring..."
Zhongli said: "I think this is the normal reaction of a person seeing a ghost. On the contrary, Hall Master, because you often travel between the Yin and Yang, your courage is a little too big compared to normal people."
At the same time, on the other side...
"Ganyu, do you see that lantern over there?" Keqing pointed at a huge lantern hanging high in the distance.
Ganyu looked up and said, "Ms. Keqing, do you want me to..."
Keqing nodded: "There are not many people here to begin with. Any slight disturbance will surely arouse suspicion, and they will definitely be led over. That will be our chance to escape."
"This is the only chance. I believe in you."
Keqing encouraged Ganyu, and Ganyu pursed her lips and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will try my best."
The two hid on the roof, using the chimney to cover their bodies. Fortunately, they were both relatively slim, so they could barely hide themselves by hugging each other.
Although there are few people at the South Gate, the people patrolling back and forth are very decisive. They walk back and forth on this road, which makes people feel tired just by watching them.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Ganyu finally seized a perfect opportunity, took out the "Bow of Amos", drew the bow and arrow, and without wasting even a second, shot it directly out. After shooting, she immediately hid back to her original position, lay in Keqing's arms, and hid behind the chimney again.
An arrow with ice element attached to it extinguished the candle in the lantern and broke the thin wire hanging the lantern.
With a buzzing sound, the lantern fell from a large pillar more than ten meters high and landed straight on the ground, making a deafening shattering sound.
All the patrolling servants around were attracted and looked over there in unison.
"what happened?"
"The lantern fell!"
"There's no strong wind now, how could the lantern fall? There must be something fishy going on. Let's go and take a look."
Several patrolmen chattered to themselves as they ran towards the direction where the lantern had fallen. Keqing and Ganyu took advantage of this perfect opportunity, transformed into two meteors, one blue and one purple, and flashed out of the south gate.
"Yeah!" The two of them high-fived excitedly and happily.
Ganyu praised Keqing: "Ms. Keqing is indeed calm and composed. She found the only lantern that can help us solve the problem in time."
Keqing smiled and praised Ganyu: "No, the greatest credit goes to Ganyu, who shot an arrow through our heart and made us escape successfully."
Ganyu nodded happily: "We are all great."
At the same time, on the other side...
Xiangling set up a portable stove, "Xunxian's Gourmet", and the rice crust sprayed fire to light the stove. Baizhu took out a handful of spices from the package and sprinkled them on the stove.
Changsheng shook his head: "Oh my god, it smells so good! They are just some broken leaves, why do they smell so good when they are roasted?"
Bai Zhu smiled and said, "These Chinese herbs are all unique spices. After being boiled and roasted at high temperatures, they will emit a fragrance that is ten times stronger than before."
Xiangling wiped the corners of her mouth and laughed: "My mouth is watering. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought someone was cooking Tianshu meat."
Guoba nodded in agreement: "Lulululu, la la la!"
"So, does our strategy really work?" Xiangling asked.
Bai Zhu replied, "This fragrance is enough to fill the whole garden. I am confident that I can attract people from nearby. As long as I can gather people together, there will always be loopholes."
"Mr. Baishu is worthy of being Mr. Baishu. I give you a thumbs up for your confidence. However, if I can use this spice in dishes, diners from all over the country will definitely like my dishes more and be more willing to come to Wanmintang for dinner."
"Mr. Bai Shu, please teach me."
Seeing Xiangling's earnest request, Bai Zhu just smiled and said, "Okay, okay, when we return to Liyue Harbor, I will teach you where this spice grows and how to plant it."
Not long after, people really came over one after another. The two of them hurriedly hid behind the bushes in the corner and observed carefully.
More and more people were gathering, and Bai Zhu thought the time was ripe, so he nodded to Xiangling.
Xiangling nodded, tucked the rice crust under her arm, and crept away from the wall.
When everyone found a pot with a pile of leaves burning in it and nothing else, they immediately realized that they had been tricked, but Xiangling and Baizhu had already escaped.
