Be a detective in Yuanshin

It seems that I have returned to my childhood, as long as I stretch out my hand, I can catch the stars in the sky, and the whole sea of ​​stars belongs to me.

If you are sleepy, as long as you climb on your brother's back, you can fall asleep and wake up naturally.

Just like the Liyue people who were doted on by the emperor, at that time, they didn't have to think about anything, no worries, no unwillingness.

It's just that people will grow up slowly and face the unknown world alone.

Keqing is brave. Even in her sleep, she still lingers on her childhood memories, but when the sun rises, she wakes up with the ability and courage to face challenges.

The sun rises from the sea and sets from the foot of the mountain.

As night falls, Liyue is decorated with red lanterns like a galaxy of stars.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, there is a feeling of dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Different from eating Huyan last time, tonight's Liyue Port will be a hundred times more lively.

The sound of children playing and playing is often lingering in my ears.

If you go a few more steps forward, you can definitely watch some bear child want something, see the parents disagree, and then start sitting on the ground and start crying.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a specialty of Liyue.

To deal with this kind of brat, if you go along at this time, then some people will suffer in the future.

Before children have formed the concept of good and evil, right and wrong, they don't know so much. What they do is based on past experience.

If it succeeds once, it will continue to do so next time, and it will even get worse.

And some other parents are very experienced, they didn't go along with it, instead they took out a photo camera and took pictures of talking and laughing next to them.

After a while, when the bear child sees that his crying is useless, instead making people laugh like a monkey, he will naturally stop making noise.

Under the fiery red lanterns, Li Shuo and Ying walked side by side.

"This is a lantern riddle. Poetry riddles are written on the lamp, reflected on the candle, and listed on the thoroughfare for anyone to guess; so it is called a lantern riddle."

While Li Shuo introduced, he guessed three right in one go.

The boss gave Li Shuo a thumbs up, then took down three small lanterns and handed them over as prizes.

Li Shuo accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't continue to guess.

He took the lanterns, handed two to Ying, and kept one for Keqing, and continued walking...

"This is a couplet, also known as a peach charm. The couplet is about neatness and neatness, and some of them even rhyme."

Li Shuo took the trouble to introduce some customs of Liyue or Huaxia to Ying.

Chinese culture has a long history, 5000 years of cultural accumulation, how can a festival explain it?

But even so, Ying was shocked by the tip of the iceberg.

Is this the cultural heritage of China?

Behind every activity and every custom, there seems to be a profound history of continuous cultural evolution, which cannot be replaced by making up a few terms out of thin air.

Walking on the streets of Liyuegang, you feel like you are in the long river of history, walking along with a proud nation.

"This is Yuanxiao, and it's also a traditional delicacy in China."

"Food? What kind of food!?"

Paimon finally woke up. She looked left and right, looking at the freshly cooked Yuanxiao in the pot, drooling in disappointment.

Seeing this, Li Shuo and Ying smiled at each other, walked into the booth, and ordered three bowls of Lantern Festival.

As soon as the person sat down, Ke Qing let out a moan (harmonious) of "excuse me", and then woke up.

However, Keqing's condition is far from that of Paimeng's. It may be the sequelae of sobering up, his head is still heavy, and he can't lift up his energy.

Li Shuo looked at Ke Qing who was leaning on him, and suggested, "Would you like to have a bowl of Yuanxiao?"

"Um..."

After sleeping all afternoon, the seafood I ate at noon has already been digested.

To be precise, I ate too little seafood and drank too much fruit wine. It is normal to be hungry in this situation.

It's more normal for Paimon, she can be hungry anytime.

"Head hurts."

Ke Qing wanted to sit up, but she couldn't exert any strength in her body, so she could only continue to snuggle beside Li Shuo in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are just like a young couple.

After seeing it, many passers-by gave envious eyes.

A man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful appearance are a natural match, even if they are jealous, they can't get out of it.

Ke Qing heard envious comments from time to time, her face blushed and she lowered her head even more.

For Li Shuo's unhesitating act of "breaking the contract" just now, Ke Qing actually just felt a little disappointed but not disappointed, because she had known for a long time that this would be the result, and there was no surprise at all.

But so what?

The future is still long, and now is just the beginning.

Besides, it's better to have something to say than to keep it in your heart.

"Come on, glutinous rice balls."

Li Shuo took the freshly cooked glutinous rice balls from the stall owner and put them in front of Keqing.

Ke Qing didn't reach for the spoon, but continued to stick to it tightly: "Headache."

"Tell you to drink less, but you just don't listen. Now you know how uncomfortable it is?"

"I don't care, I'm going to drink."

As she spoke, Ke Qing turned her head, put her chin on Li Shuo's shoulder, and said coquettishly with a smug smirk, "I can't hold the spoon anymore, I want you to feed me."

"Ah~"

As she spoke, Keqing opened her mouth like a child.

"It's not too embarrassing." Li Shuo rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Although he said so, Li Shuo picked up a spoon to scoop up a glutinous rice ball and carefully handed it to Keqing's mouth.

Next to her was Ying, who was already eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Looking at this pair of "dogs and men and women abusing dogs", she always felt that she was shining like a Buddha for a while, which was too dazzling.

Should I be under the car, not in the car?

"Ahem, eat first, I'll buy two bowls of hangover soup."

Ying was a little blinded, and after thinking about it, she decided to slip away for a while.

Speaking of which, there was indeed a stall selling hangover soup on the side of the road we came to just now. Originally, Li Shuo wanted to buy two bowls, but he didn't know when Keqing and Paimeng would wake up, so he gave up.

Li Shuo: "Go early and return early."

Keqing: "Slow down on the road."

Paimon: "I want two bowls!"

fluorescent:"..."

Slip away, slip away.

Leaving the Lantern Festival stall, Ying followed the route in memory and walked back against the flow of people. It didn't take long to find the stall, and asked the boss for two hangover soups, and served them in bamboo tubes.

After paying the money, I planned to go back along the original road, but before I had taken two steps, I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Travellers, please stay."

Ying heard the words and stopped, followed the voice and looked back, only to see that the one who stopped her was none other than Liyue's rock king, Emperor Zhongli!

At this moment, Zhongli was holding an unknown snack, and looked at him indifferently.

Chapter 63: The Three Years That Disappeared

Legend has it that during the Thanksgiving celebration, the rock king Dijun would play games in the world and have fun with the people.

It turns out that this legend is true. It must be very lucky to meet Prince Yan at the Thanksgiving celebration, right?

Ying thought this in her heart, but her legs involuntarily walked in the direction of the Lantern Festival stall.

Are you kidding me? Ying clearly remembers that this Prince Yan never takes Mo La with him when he goes out!

At this time, he stopped himself, and after thinking about it, he knew that he must have taken himself for granted again, and helped him pay for the supper.

Zhong Li ran away when he saw Ying, and hurriedly explained: "Traveler, don't get me wrong, I just have some things about Li Shuo, and I want to chat with you briefly."

Li Shuo?

Yingmai stepped forward with her right foot and then retracted it. She turned her head to look at Zhongli with a sincere face, and after much deliberation, she turned around and walked to Zhongli's side and said, "Does it have something to do with me?"

"From the point of view of universal rationality, not only is there a relationship but also a great relationship." Zhong Li said and sat back to his original seat, motioning Ying to sit down and chat while eating.

Now that Liyue's Lord Yan has said so, Ying has no choice but to obediently sit opposite Zhongli and listen to what he has to say.

Zhong Li waited for Ying to sit down, and asked straight to the point: "The traveler came from another world, right?"

This matter is not a secret in Monde, there are many people who know it, and there is nothing to hide, so Ying admitted directly: "Yes, my brother and I have traveled to many worlds, and the Tivat continent is just one of them." .

I just didn't expect that when we were about to leave, a strange woman suddenly appeared. She snatched my brother away. In desperation, I had no choice but to stay on the Tivat continent, looking for my brother's whereabouts. "

Zhongli waited for his mother to admit it and immediately said: "Actually, Li Shuo is also a traveler from another world just like you."

Ying: "Yeah."

Zhongli originally thought that Ying would be surprised when she heard the news, but her reaction was unexpectedly indifferent, as if she knew about it long ago.

Li Shuo did not tell Ying explicitly that he was a traveler from another world, but from his previous narration, Ying had already guessed Li Shuo's identity as a traveler from another world.

The difference is nothing more than that Ying has lost her memory, leaving only the memory of her brother.

Zhongli said: "Li Shuo takes good care of you. I think it may be related to your identity as a traveler. Since he left the Chamber of Commerce to Ningguang, he rarely takes the initiative to care about strangers."

Ying does not deny this, and she also has this feeling: "What Zhongli means is, as travelers in another world, can we help each other? Although I am willing to do this, I always feel that there may be no place for me to help. to him."

Ying was a little discouraged, since she met Li Shuo until now, it seemed that Li Shuo had always been taking care of her, but she didn't even have the chance to take care of him in turn.

"There will be a chance."

Zhong Li paused for a few seconds when he said this, and then changed the topic: "I don't know if you have heard of such a boxing technique around Liyue.

When practicing this kind of boxing, you first need to continuously hit sandbags or wooden stakes with your fists until cracks appear in the bones.Then the crack will gradually heal, and the new bone will be stronger than the old bone.

Through repeated training, the practitioner's fist will become harder and harder, even more terrifying than some blunt instruments.

However, there are also disadvantages in doing so, because during the practice process, although the fist bone becomes harder and harder, it will also cause internal injuries.When the practitioner gets old and his physical fitness gradually declines, even in windy and rainy weather, the injured part will feel extremely painful.

In some special emergencies, these internal injuries may even burst out all at once. "

Ying nodded with a half understanding, Zhongli was telling himself that Li Shuo's various experiences made him like a practitioner who practiced this kind of boxing, even now he can rely on his "strong body" to forcefully support him , but as you get older and your body is getting weaker, sooner or later there will be a day when you can't hold on.

"Does he... want to go home?"

Although Ying has forgotten what her hometown looks like, she can still feel the loneliness of being a stranger in a foreign land from Li Shuo's narration.

Perhaps, after he finds his brother, he can take Li Shuo to leave Tivat Continent together, and help him find his hometown in the vast sea of ​​stars.

What Ying didn't expect was that after hearing this proposal, Zhongli took a meaningful look at herself, then shook his head without hesitation and said, "I don't know if Li Shuo told you that after he threw the chamber of commerce to Ning A few years later, suddenly one day he made a decision, and after saying goodbye to all of Liyue's friends solemnly, he left Liyue.

During that time, even though Ningguang mobilized all his strength to search, he still didn't find any news about him in the entire Tivat continent, as if he had completely disappeared.

Even there is no trace of how he left Liyue City, as if he had never appeared before, as if everything that happened before was just a dream.

Some people say that he died and was eaten by monsters from the Tivat continent.

Others said that he was thrown into a bottomless mountain stream, and his body had completely rotted away.

Others say that he was sailing to the ocean, but he was caught in a storm and died at the bottom of the sea. "

Ying: "And then!"

"Then? Then, about three years passed like this. Three years later, on a rainy day, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of Wanmintang where Huyan was eaten."

Having said that, Zhongli's expression was a bit complicated when he recalled what he had seen and heard in the past. He seemed to be unable to believe what he saw until now.

"Li Shuo, who appeared out of thin air, stood in the rain with empty eyes, even though he was roughly bumped by a passing pedestrian, there was still no emotion in his eyes, he just let the rain continue to drench on his body.

Later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and his body instinctively walked to the eaves of Wanmin Hall step by step, and then curled up his body into a ball, staring blankly at the pedestrians running on the rainy road looking for a place to hide from the rain.
