The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Liyue Port is surrounded by mountains and sea, where thousands of ships and merchants gather. If you look at it generally, it can be divided into two areas, one large and one small, each with its own port.

The large nearby mountain is located in the northwest, with prosperous places such as Yujingtai and Feiyunpo.

Yujing Terrace is where the people of Liyue hold the "Immortal Invitation Ceremony". It is also the place where Emperor Yanwang comes every year. It is the highest point of Liyue Port. Although housing prices in Yujingtai are high, most high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen still choose to buy properties near Yujingtai.

Feiyun Slope is the most prosperous and lively commercial district in Liyue Port. It is said that you can buy any goods from the seven countries of Teyvat here. Being able to own a shop in Feiyunpo means that for some Liyue people, they can live without worries about food and clothing for half their life.

The smaller one is close to the sea and located in the southeast. The most representative one is Chihuyan.

Compared with Feiyunpo, Chihuyan is more pyrotechnic.

Here you can find cheap, affordable and delicious restaurants like Wan Min Tang, as well as carts selling fragrant Central Plains offal, or vendors selling fresh fruits, vegetables and meat.

Of course, the most peculiar one is the porcelain shop called Chunxiang Kiln. The clerk, Ms. Ying'er, always uses misunderstood words to introduce her products to customers. Matching the name of the shop, people will always enter with flushed faces and full of anticipation. He left with a face full of shame, anger and disappointment.

In addition to eating Tiger Rock, Liyue's Adventurers Association is also here. Miss Catherine, the receptionist of the association, always smiles and listens to the "ding-ding" sound of iron coming from Hanfeng Iron Works day after day.

Willow Street is near Chihuyan.

Coincidentally, Granny Yuan Mu also lived on Willow Street.

Chen Tianfeng changed into clean clothes, held a knife in his shoulder and a dictionary he bought from Wanwen Collection in his hand. He sat under the big willow tree in front of Willow Street, frowning and studying.

Fortunately, although Liyue characters are slightly different from modern simplified Chinese characters, they come from the same origin, so it is not difficult to learn. Chen Tianfeng made rapid progress while listening to the chats of people enjoying the shade under the trees while chewing on a dictionary.

Several neighbors on Willow Street glanced at Chen Tianfeng and saw that he was holding a knife and holding a book. He looked nondescript and did not look like a local resident, so they paid no attention to him. Among the occasional glances, some were confused and curious, while others were wary. .

"Hey, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"What else could it be? Just that liar! He deceived so many people, even the old man's coffin. He is a liar who deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts!"

"Has anyone been caught?"

"No, I heard that the Qianyan Army was late and sent the liar to Mondstadt."

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

Some cursed fiercely, saying that the liar had lost his conscience and would not die a happy life; some made a grimace and said that they had long known that the man was a liar, but their mother-in-law did not believe it and insisted on giving it a try, thus losing tens of thousands of dollars. La, it can be said that three or two years of hard work was in vain; some were cautious and stopped in time, but made hundreds or even thousands of molas. At this time, they looked like they had been cheated and cursed the liar loudly.

"We are doing well. Although the money is gone, at least we are still living a decent life." The middle-aged woman who first raised the topic sighed: "Grandma Yuan's family at the end of the street is pitiful."

"I heard that I was defrauded of more than 100,000 yuan. I was so angry and heartbroken. I was also seriously ill."

"Yes, yes, who says it isn't? It's not easy to have an old man and a young child, but this kind of thing still happens."

"I heard that this kid Yuan Mu went out to collect medicine, but...well, we also know Yuan Mu's situation. If something happens to this kid outside..."

"That silly boy ran out before dawn! Just leave a note!" The old man smoking a dry cigarette was a little annoyed and knocked on his pipe: "He doesn't listen to advice just like his father!"

Chen Tianfeng paused while turning the pages of the book.

Yuan Mu? Granny Yuan?

He closed the dictionary, glanced around, and bought some peanuts, melon seeds, and preserved fruits from a shop not far away. Then he turned back to the tree, with a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face when visiting relatives during the New Year.

Not long after, Chen Tianfeng successfully integrated into the intelligence team under the trees on the street.

With intentional guidance, things gradually became clearer.

About half a year ago, a wealthy Monds businessman came to Willow Street.

When the businessman first came to Willow Street, he rented a storefront at twice the price for half a year with a wave of his hand. Then there was the sound of decoration for several days. The businessman personally carried the gifts and knocked on every door on Willow Street with great patience. They said they were neighbors on the same street, and they were very sorry for the noise, so they came to visit and asked everyone not to worry about it.

So all the neighbors had a good impression of this businessman, and on the day he opened his business, they all went to cheer him up, planning to buy some of the goods in the store if they were not too expensive.

Unexpectedly, this businessman did not sell goods. He said that he opened an investment company and led everyone to make money together.

Just invest money in him, and he can bring investors nearly twice the return in as little as three months.

It’s a classic, yet somewhat crude [Ponzi scheme].

After the scammer obtained enough "investment", before people could react, he took the money and fled to Mondstadt.

Granny Yuan believed the swindler's words and wanted to leave some property for Yuan Muduo. She gritted her teeth and took out the 170,000 molas that her family had saved hard, but she caught the swindler just before he was about to run away.

Granny Yuan was so angry that she vomited blood and fell ill. Yuanmu went to Bubulu to seek medical treatment. Being short of money, he decided to risk going out to collect medicine himself. In the end, he died because of the difficult-to-collect medicine.

Chen Tianfeng sighed in his heart and became even more eager to earn Maura.

He pursed his lips, and instead of going directly to Granny Yuan's house, he turned around and went to Bubu Lu.

The old man is in poor health. Hearing the bad news suddenly, he is afraid that he may not be able to bear it, so it is best to bring the doctor with him.

···

···

Bu Bu Lu is the most famous medicine house in Liyue. Its owner, Mr. Bai Shubai, is a well-known doctor. He has a reputation for his profound medical skills and his benevolence in helping the world. It is said that Mr. Bai's surname is not Bai, but the title "Mr. Bai" is widely known, and its origin can be traced back to Qiqi, an apprentice in Bubulu.

Qiqi is a cute little zombie girl with a very poor memory. When she first arrived in Bubulu, she couldn't remember Baishu's name. She often used "that person" and "that snake" to replace Baishu and the energy coiled around Baishu's neck. The white snake that spits out words and calls people "immortality".

Baizhu took the right medicine and prepared a notebook for her to memorize and read whenever she had time. Finally one morning, Qiqi saw Bai Shu. Instead of tilting her head to ask who he was, she bit her finger, blinked her eyes, and said greeting for the first time: "Good morning. Bai...Bai...Mr. Bai."

Bai Shu smiled and nodded, acquiescing to the title "Mr. Bai".

In the days that followed, Qiqi often said words such as "Mr. Bai said" and "Mr. Bai wouldn't let"... There was an endless stream of customers coming in and out asking for medicine, and they brought this title out of Bubu Lu. Spread throughout Liyue Port. Over time, the name "Mr. Bai" has become deeply rooted in people's hearts and cannot be replaced.

When Chen Tianfeng walked into Bubu House, he didn't see Baizhu, nor Qiqi.

It was mid-afternoon, and there were no patients coming to Bu Bu Lu for consultation, nor were there any customers holding prescriptions for medicine. Pharmacist Agui stood behind the counter and yawned slightly. Then he saw Chen Tianfeng crossing the threshold and stood up straight: "Sir, do you want to grab some medicine? Then please give me the prescription."

Chen Tianfeng looked around: "Isn't it about taking medicine... Is Mr. Bai here?"

"Mr. Bai is resting. Is there something urgent, sir?"

"Rest... It's not an urgent matter. I would like to ask Mr. Bai to go out for an outpatient clinic. I wonder when Mr. Bai will be free?"

"Your Majesty, would you like to ask Mr. Bai to go out for an outpatient clinic?"

Pharmacist Agui was slightly hesitant. Everyone knew that Mr. Bai had superb medical skills, but they didn’t know that Mr. Bai himself had a weak constitution. Going out for an outpatient consultation was really not an easy task for Mr. Bai: “Can you tell me the patient’s symptoms? Let me know, maybe I can help."

"That's it..."

Chen Tianfeng remembered the text introduction to Bai Shu's frail body in the game and did not refuse: "The patient is an old man. A few days ago, her family came to Bubulu to ask Mr. Bai for a prescription. The prescription used some weird but cheap medicinal materials..."

"Is the old man's condition getting worse?" Agui frowned and said, "Mr. Bai sometimes prescribes some strange-looking prescriptions, but as long as you cook the medicine according to the prescriptions, there will be no problems."

"No, it's not the prescription that's wrong."

"That is···?"

"There was something wrong with the person who collected the herbs." Chen Tianfeng lowered his eyes and said, "His name was Yuan Mu. He was the only relative of the old man. He died while collecting the herbs... I was entrusted by him to bring the herbs back to Liyue Port."

"..." Agui opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"I'm worried that telling the old lady the news directly will make her unable to bear it, so I want to ask Mr. Bai to come."

Chen Tianfeng unwrapped the package, took out the box of medicinal materials, and put it on the counter: "This is the medicinal material. Do you dare to ask Bu Bu Lu if there is any prescription left? If possible, I would like to boil the medicine and take it with me."

"Yes, I still remember."

"Mr. Bai, how do you..."

"It's okay, I'm resting."

Bai Shu waved his hand, signaling Agui not to worry, and looked at Chen Tianfeng with Bai She Changsheng: "What do you call your guest officer?"

"Mr. Bai." Chen Tianfeng cupped his hands: "Chen Tianfeng, the sky is the sky, and the maple leaves are the maple."

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen."

Bai Zhu nodded slightly, opened the wooden box, took out the medicinal materials and looked at them, his golden brown eyes filled with excitement.

He still remembered the young man who hurriedly broke into Bubu Lu that day. Even though he couldn't speak clearly, he repeated "Mother-in-law vomited blood" and "Please save mother-in-law" over and over again, holding Agui's hand. Without letting go, it took them a lot of effort to understand what this young man was going to do.

Baizhu immediately followed the boy with the medicine box to treat his mother-in-law.

It wasn't until he left that he learned the boy's name. His name was Yuan Mu.

"This is actually a recipe that nourishes and strengthens the body." Baizhu wrote down the prescription, handed the medicinal materials and prescription to Agui, and asked him to boil the medicine as soon as possible, and then sighed: "The old man is so angry that he attacks his heart and hurts his roots. After the old man wakes up and confirms that there will be no major problems, I will leave this nourishing prescription to Yuan Mu."

"Thinking about how much I can make up for it... Who would have thought..."

He pursed his lips and asked, "How did Yuan Mu die?"

Nourishing recipe...

Chen Tianfeng inexplicably felt that it was a bit ridiculous. It was not even a life-saving prescription, but Yuan Mu lost his life because of it... Chen Tianfeng sighed in his heart and said: "My family has no money, so I ventured out to collect medicine and ran into a treasure thief group. I'm too late. One step failed to save him."

“···”

Bai Shu didn't ask any more questions, feeling helpless rising in his heart.

Human beings are too fragile. Whether it is natural disaster or illness, it can easily take away a person's life. He is just a doctor, and he can do very little...

If humans can live forever, can they get rid of pain and suffering?
