The Homeless Man of Teyvat

Chapter 7 Encounter in the cave

Chen Tianfeng is taking a shower.

The cold river water took away the fatigue of the past two days. Chen Tianfeng shook his wet hair, changed into clean cloth clothes, balled up his original clothes, lit them on fire, and watched them turn into ashes.

At this point, the last item he carried that belonged to the time traveler was gone... No, there was still one item.

Chen Tianfeng carried the knife and returned to the cave he had just found to hide from the rain. He used the collected firewood to build a bonfire and looked at the silver coins lying in his hands by the light of the fire. It should be a commemorative coin purchased during the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the front is Chang'e flying to the moon, and on the back is the moon.

"Thousands of miles apart, we share the beauty of the beauty..."

Chen Tianfeng murmured and put away the commemorative coins carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Now it’s time to see the changes in your body.

He rolled up the sleeve of his left arm and looked at his white forearm, his eyes twinkling.

There was supposed to be a scar here, but in order to poison him without leaving any trace, he was stabbed by Scarface on purpose. Because of this, the Dagger Bandits who were monitoring his cooking did not notice anything unusual.

It was just that the cook's arm was injured and bleeding while cooking, but he didn't care - which shows how important hygiene is.

In addition to increased resilience, strength also seems to be greater.

Chen Tianfeng clenched his fists, his eyes slightly strange. If this is his "golden finger", then this "golden finger" is a bit plain and simple.

The blood is poisonous, the self-healing power increases, the strength increases... and then it disappears.

It's better than nothing. He is somewhat of a professional poisoner. He carries deadly poison with him... Chen Tianfeng grinned. His instinct told him that the changes in his body were not as simple as they appeared, and he was still in an inactive state.

But how to activate... Instinct is not mentioned.

"Oh, what's this all about..."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, looked at the heavy rain that had started falling outside the cave, touched the donkey's head, fed it a handful of fresh fodder, clapped his hands, and took out the pot and stove on the cart and set it up.

After finally escaping, you should always treat yourself to something good.

Chen Tianfeng counted the remaining supplies and felt a little regretful that he did not cut some horse meat. He glanced at the stupid and honest donkey again and estimated that it should not be a problem for him to walk back to Liyue.

Put the poultry meat presented by a few unnamed birds into the pot, add some spices, wait for the pot to boil, then throw in a few shredded mushrooms, season briefly, simmer slowly over high heat, and the aroma will come out of the pot. bloom in.

There is nothing complicated about the method, the main thing is the freshness of the ingredients.

Chen Tianfeng sniffed it and nodded with satisfaction.

He was about to fill a bowl of soup to drive away the cold, his ears twitched, he frowned and looked outside the cave, and picked up a long knife to take precautions.

In the heavy rain, a figure was anxiously looking for a place to take shelter. Suddenly he saw the fire in the cave. He was overjoyed and quickly went into the cave to take shelter. He wiped the rain off his face, shook his hair, and twisted his wet hair. The sleeves looked extremely miserable.

“Smells so good.”

The man's nose moved and he looked at Chen Tianfeng with a defensive smile: "My friend, I wonder if you could be kind and let me stay here to avoid the rain?"

The person coming was naturally Ye Lan in disguise. She glanced at the donkey cart in the cave and rested on the long knife in Chen Tianfeng's hand for two seconds, and she knew it in her heart.

If nothing else, the young man in front of her was the "surprise" she was looking for.

But in this way, many of the previous guesses are invalid. She didn't detect too much danger in Chen Tianfeng, and even "saw" Chen Tianfeng's "rawness" - it was probably his first time to kill someone.

It seems that more "interesting" things should have happened before the Silver Wings Treasure Thief Group comes to an end... Yelan thought about it, but the expression on her face did not change at all.

This was her guess, and it would only be her guess. The fire and heavy rain had completely destroyed the evidence. As long as Chen Tianfeng himself did not admit it, no one could "falsely accuse" him of killing someone.

"Of course, this cave is ownerless, so I have no reason to stop you, brother."

Chen Tianfeng glanced at the heavy rain curtain outside the cave, but did not refuse, and his palm did not leave the handle of the knife: "It's just brother, why do you appear in such a remote place?"

"Isn't my friend here too?"

The Liyue businessman dressed as Ye Lan forced a smile and rubbed his arms to try to resist the dampness and cold brought by the rain: "I am a businessman, and sometimes I have to take some risks in order to earn more moola."

"...That makes sense."

Chen Tianfeng thought of the "businessman" who was hung on the street lamp in the original world, and felt that what the man in front of him said made sense. But most of the businessmen who do business here are not serious businessmen.

"It's rainy and cold, brothers, come over and warm up by the fire." Chen Tianfeng invited, with a sincere smile: "If you don't mind, just have a bowl of soup to warm yourself up."

"thanks, thanks."

The businessman thanked him profusely and sat down a little away from Chen Tianfeng. He was half wary and half evasive: "There's no need for soup. I'm still young and my body can handle it."

"also."

Chen Tianfeng didn't give any more advice. They met unexpectedly in the wilderness, and it was normal to worry that the other party would be poisoned. If the person in front of him accepted it without much hesitation, he would have to think about how to poison him.

"Speaking of which, where is my friend from and why is he here?"

Ye Lan asked, then she seemed to remember something and smiled sheepishly: "Looking at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself first. My name is Lan You, a businessman from Liyue. I originally planned to go to Qingce Village to collect some specialties. Then he sold it to Liyue Port, but he was robbed by bandits on the way."

She guessed what happened to Chen Tianfeng and made up an identity.

"Brother, it's not easy either."

Chen Tianfeng sighed with emotion and replied: "My name is Chen Tianfeng. I am a... traveler. I was entrusted by someone to go to Liyue Port to handle some chores."

"traveller?"

"He's just a prodigal who hasn't found a home yet." Chen Tianfeng smiled and served himself a bowl of soup: "Maybe when you get to Liyue Port, you will come up with the idea of ​​settling down in Liyue Port. I don't know if Liyue's household registration is good. manage."

"Liyue Port welcomes every traveler who wants to join, and household registration is naturally not difficult."

Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "To be honest, I have a way to help people apply for household registration."

Chen Tianfeng's origins are unknown, and he may have killed someone, so he can barely be considered a destabilizing factor. Instead of letting him wander around in Liyue Port, it would be better to help him or supervise him secretly.

"Brother's business is quite extensive." Chen Tianfeng looked at him with a strange look in his eyes: "Brother, are you a professional in handling fake certificates?"

"...Guaranteed to be true!"

Yelan twitched the corner of her mouth and emphasized: "I am a serious businessman, but the types of goods I buy and sell are more and more complicated!"

Chen Tianfeng didn't say whether he believed it or not. He took a sip of soup and looked outside the cave: "It looks like the rain won't stop for a while. Brother Lan You also wants to go back to Liyue Port. Are you in a hurry because of the rain? "

"It's just one more day of delay. My business is stable, so it doesn't matter if I disappear for three to five days." Ye Lan waved her hand.

There are still three to five days to go from Liyue Port. If we go the wrong way, we will be in trouble... Chen Tianfeng glanced at Lan You and saw that there seemed to be no place on his body that could hide the Eye of God, and then looked at his body. The thin body suddenly felt reassured: "We are destined to meet each other! Brother Lan You, how about we go together? We also have to take care of each other."

"I wish I could have it!"

Ye Lan agreed immediately. She was also thinking of tricking Chen Tianfeng into going with her, and it took no effort at all.

The two looked at each other and smiled, each with their own plans.

"Come on, brother Lanyou, try my handiwork."

Chen Tianfeng first gulped down the soup in the bowl in front of Ye Lan, then took out a clean new bowl, filled the bowl with poultry meat and mushrooms, and handed it to Ye Lan with a hearty smile.

"Brother Chen is too polite."

Ye Lan resisted twice, silently calculating the time since Chen Tianfeng took his first sip of soup, and carefully observing his condition. She didn't notice anything strange, so she accepted the soup bowl with confidence, and then took the chopsticks handed over by Chen Tianfeng.

"Brother Chen is so good at his craftsmanship!"

Ye Lan sincerely praised him.

"I am over-flattered."

Chen Tianfeng humbly accepted it, and together with Ye Lan, they finished the otherworldly simple version of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

After the meal, the rain decreased.

Chen Tianfeng cleaned the pots and bowls, boiled a pot of water, put it into water bags, and sat on the cart as if thinking about something.

"Brother Lan You, you are doing business in Liyue Port. You should know a lot about it, right? I want to ask you something."

"Brother Chen, please tell me. I will tell you everything you know."

"That's right..." Chen Tianfeng considered it and said: "I heard that the most solemn festival in Liyue Port is the annual [Immortal Invitation Ceremony], which is presided over by the Seven Stars in turn. The gods of Liyue, Lord Yanwang, are also It will come on this day and give an oracle to guide the direction of Liyue this year... Is this true? "

"Of course it's true." Ye Lan nodded.

Chen Tianfeng observed Ye Lan's expression and determined that the traveler had not arrived in Liyue, and Emperor Yanwang had not directed and performed the "Emperor's Immortal Death" play - otherwise Brother Lanyou's expression would not have been so calm.

"It's incredible! I heard that in Mondstadt, the Kingdom of Wind, the God of Wind has been missing all year round, and it has almost become a legend. Liyue is truly a country of [Walking with the Gods]."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, "Has this year's [Immortal Invitation Ceremony] started yet? Being able to see the gods of Liyue and the Seven Stars at the same time is not easy for a traveler like me and is something worth looking forward to." "

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Chen. This year's [Immortal Invitation Ceremony] has passed, and the person who presided over the ceremony was Master Keqing of [Yuhengxing]."

"Is that so..." Chen Tianfeng showed an expression of regret, and then asked curiously: "Then which master will host next year's [Invitation to the Immortal Ceremony]? [Tianquan Star] Lord Ningguang?"

"That's right, it's [Tianquan Star]." Ye Lan raised her eyebrows: "I didn't expect that Brother Chen also knew about Lord Ningguang."

"The power of heaven condenses, and the richest party. Who doesn't know who doesn't know who doesn't know."

Chen Tianfeng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I heard about Lady Ningguang's reputation when I was in Mondstadt a few years ago. She built such an amazing thing as Qunyu Pavilion. Tsk, it took me a long time to talk about it. I haven’t gone back to Mondstadt for a visit. How much do brothers Lanyou know about Mondstadt’s current situation?”

"I don't know much about it." Ye Lan shook her head, her eyes sincere: "For a small businessman like me who only works in Liyue, unless something big happens in Mondstadt, there is very little news for me to hear."

"It's a big deal..."

Chen Tianfeng's expression didn't look like he was faking it, and he said with emotion: "That's right, for ordinary people like us, who are safe and peaceful and don't have any big news, maybe that's the good news."

Very good, the time point is basically confirmed, and the dragon plague in Mondstadt has not broken out.

The traveler may still be sleeping somewhere unknown, and the plot has not officially begun.
