Be a detective in Yuanshin

Zhongli turned his head to look at Ying who was beside him with a shocked expression, and said with a long sigh: "I don't know where Li Shuo has been in the past three years, but I still can't imagine what happened to make Never Give Up, Even in the face of the mediation of the immortals and the compromise of his partners, Li Shuo, who still came out tenaciously, showed such a dazed and desperate expression."

Afterwards, Xiangling happened to be in charge of the spoon that day, and seeing Li Shuo was drenched into a drenched chicken, his whole body was soaked, so he took him in out of kindness.

After Ningguang learned about this incident, she secretly donated money to support Wanmintang, and this is why Li Shuo took care of Xiangling so much later.

Chapter 64: Putting River Lanterns

"Although Li Shuo quickly regained his usual self-confidence and ease after this, the harder the object is, the harder it is to heal after being broken.

I think that as a traveler in another world, maybe your appearance can help him heal this scar. "

Zhong Li glanced at Ying next to him as he spoke, and seeing that she was silent, he felt that he might have made the atmosphere too stiff, so he quickly coughed twice to ease the atmosphere and added: "Of course that's what I said. , but you don't have to take it too seriously.

After all, Li Shuo has come all the way through the wind and waves. I believe that no matter what he has experienced at the beginning, after these years, he has already let go of it.

Speaking of this, I just hope that if you have the opportunity in the future, talk to him more about the future, and maybe help him forget all the unpleasant things in the past. "

"Okay!" Ying agreed without hesitation.

After all, she has received so much care from him these days, even if it is purely as a reward, Ying hopes to help Li Shuo as much as she can.

Ying raised the hangover soup in her hand: "Then...if there is nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Well, okay, oh yes, there is one more thing, can you help pay for the supper, I forgot to bring Mora when I went out."

As Zhong Li spoke, he did not forget to point to the bowl in front of him.

fluorescent:"..."

This... is still a trick! ?

Ying really wanted to leave and find a place to hide secretly, watching Zhongli being grabbed by the sleeve by the stall owner and asking him to pay!

It's best because I really can't afford the money, so I can only stay and work as a dishwasher to pay off the debts of the stall owner. That scene must be very memorable.

But after thinking about it, Ying gave up.

The main consideration is that there may be a place to ask for this Lord Yan in the future, it is not good to offend him so early, wait, wait.

Back at the Lantern Festival stall, the bowls in front of Paimon were piled up, almost taller than her.

This situation really doesn't mean that you need sober soup when you're drunk.

Ke Qing was still a little drunk, her limbs seemed weak and her body was limp, her eyes were half-opened and half-closed, unable to cheer up.

"Here, hangover soup." Ying handed over the bamboo tube.

When Paimon heard that there was a new drink, he hurriedly put down the spoon in his hand, happily took the bamboo tube from Ying, raised his head and drank it, and asked while drinking, "Why did Ying come back so slowly?" Hey, did you run into any trouble on the way?"

"No... I just bumped into Zhongli on the road and helped him pay for the supper."

"Zhongli? Lord Yan?"

When Ke Qing heard Lord Yan's name, she managed to perk up a bit: "Where is he?"

"I just finished supper, now I don't know where to go for a walk?"

Ying looked at Keqing and wondered, could Liyue Qixing be reimbursed for the supper paid by Ti Zhongli? Although the money was not much, it was still money!

"Ugh..."

When Ke Qing heard that Zhong Li had left, she had a disappointed expression on her face.If you go with Ying, you can meet Prince Yan.

Seeing that Keqing was a bit disappointed, Li Shuo comforted him and said, "Actually, there is no need to be disappointed. This at least proves that Zhongli is wandering around, isn't it? Maybe we can meet him while walking."

"That's right! Maybe we can meet again later." Ke Qing, who was a little disappointed just now, suddenly rekindled her enthusiasm.

Ying silently watched Li Shuo who comforted Ke Qing, he seemed to be always so confident and free and easy no matter what happened to him.

The more this happened, the harder it was to imagine what he had experienced in those three years.

Could it be that he wanted to leave the Tivat continent, but ended up meeting that mysterious woman just like himself, and was blocked back?

No, it shouldn't be.

If that's the case, with Li Shuo's character, he won't be confused when he comes back, but he's dreaming about how to get rid of that stinky bitch.

Or in some way, learned that the hometown has changed?Or has it been destroyed?

Maybe it's possible, but I still don't think it's possible.

After so many years, who can guarantee what the hometown will become?If Li Shuo can go back, he must be mentally prepared for things to change.

Li Shuo noticed that after Yingcong came back, he sat there and looked at himself in a daze, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Ying? Is there something wrong with my face?"

"No." Paimon finished drinking the hangover soup, pulled his head out of the bamboo tube, and looked at Li Shuo's face, which was no different from before.

It can't be because I'm drunk from the hangover soup, and my eyes are dazzled, right?

"Ah, it's okay." Ying quickly smiled and shook her head.

"Okay, I get it now."

Ke Qing suddenly guessed something, and said with a firm face, "Ying must be missing my brother, right?"

"Ahem...cough cough...that's right, I was thinking about my brother just now." Ying nodded hurriedly to cover up her guilty conscience.

Li Shuo said in his heart that this hangover soup does not sober up, why does the more you drink, the more drunk you become, but at least Keqing's spirit is much better, and he checked the time and found that it is almost the same, so he suggested: "Since everyone is full, how about Hurry up and go to the Quyue River, and the river lanterns will be released soon."

It may be the reason why Liyue people have celebrated the Sea Lantern Festival. River lantern release is one of the most lively activities in the Thanksgiving celebration. the river lamp.

As the river lanterns flow down the river, the bright fireworks will decorate the sky above Liyue City with colorful and extremely gorgeous.

........

In the Jade Pavilion above Liyue, Ning Guang had just finished processing the piles of documents, and walked out of the Jade Pavilion a little tired, looking up at the bright moonlight, a little lost in thought.

The assistant walked over appropriately and handed over a cup of hot tea, and reminded softly, "Master Tianquan, the time for the Quyue River to release the river lanterns is coming soon."

The assistants of Qunyu Pavilion all know that Tianquan Ningguang will go to the Quyue River to put down a river lantern folded by herself on the evening of the Thanksgiving celebration every year, and then watch it float to the finish line with her own eyes.

Ningguang was a little moved, but after a moment of hesitation, she shook her head and said, "This year is different from previous years, let's forget it. I'm worried about the Fools or the Abyssal Cult, and I want to take this opportunity to make some noise in the celebration tonight. "

Hearing Ningguang's words, the assistants next to him smiled and persuaded them: "Master Kaiyang led the Qianyan Army to defend Liyue City tonight. It's a self-inflicted trap.

If you just went to put a river lantern beside the Quyue River, there shouldn't be any accidents during this time, and besides, there are still many immortals sitting in Yujing Terrace. "

......

PS: As for what Li Shuo has experienced in the past three years, in fact, everyone guesses eight or nine are close to ten, but there are still some differences in the details.

How should I put it, it may be a bit expected, unreasonable?

In short, we promise to give you a pleasant surprise when the time comes.

Chapter 65: Searching for her thousands of times in my dreams

Quyue River is like a crescent moon as a whole, so it is called Quyue River.

The river water is crystal clear and running. In the early years when the economy was not developed enough, many Liyue people from nearby would come here to fetch water for food.

With the development of the times, it is no longer necessary to carry water to eat. Quyue River has become a place where many children and teenagers swim and play in summer.

At night, the Quyue River reflects the moonlight and looks very beautiful, coupled with the fireflies flying around, it gives people a dreamlike feeling.

Before putting the river lanterns on, there is one more preparatory work.

Every year during the Thanksgiving celebration, the location three or four miles outside the Quyue River is always filled with various stalls selling river lanterns.

A lotus-shaped river lantern can easily sell for fifty or even a hundred moras.

Expensive may be a little expensive, but few people would struggle with this amount of money on this day.

Especially those couples, when buying, they don't even ask a question, just pay for it.

As the saying goes, culture is a powerful driving force for economic development.

Different from those hot stalls, there was a stall in the corner that was extremely cold. The stall owner was an old man, sitting on a horse-trap and shaking a cattail fan, and he didn't intend to attract customers.

Occasionally, a few guests came over, and after asking a few words in a low voice, they shook their heads and left.

The old man didn't care either, instead of being jealous when he saw other people's prosperous business, he narrowed his eyes into a line with a smile.

He is a craftsman, and what he sells is craftsmanship, but he is also from Liyue.

The people who sell river lanterns here, more than ten years ago, many people couldn’t even eat enough. The happiest thing is to go to the sea when the tide is high in summer, and sell more seafood to restaurants, but at that time everyone rushed to the sea, seafood The price can't go up, and you can't make much money.

Later, Master Li came, and Master Li asked himself to study how to make river lanterns, and then passed on the craft of making river lanterns to these poor boys who couldn't get enough to eat.

Since then, there has been the custom of putting river lanterns on the Thanksgiving celebration, and the poor boys who were not hungry or warm have money to marry wives, have children, and support their families.

Now he is old and dim-sighted, and his skills are a little rusty, but there is no need for him to make river lanterns to make money.

Every year, I come out to set up a stall during the Thanksgiving celebration, and I just come to see the juniors, and...

"Old Seventeen, are you setting up a stall again?"

Li Shuo walked over with Keqing, Ying and Paimeng.

Seeing Li Shuo, the old seventeen quickly stood up from the saddle, put down the cattail fan in his hand, and said respectfully from the bottom of his heart: "Master Li, this year is good."

"Okay, everything is fine."

Li Shuo held Old Seventeen's hand, introduced to Ying and Pai Meng: "This is Old Seventeen, the ancestor who made the river lanterns, anyone who sells river lanterns here must thank Old Seventeen for the meal. "

Old Seventeen waved his hands again and again when he heard the words: "Mr. Li's words made the old man ashamed. If Mr. Li didn't manage it back and forth, there would be no River Lantern Festival.

Without the River Lantern Festival, our group of mud-legged people who have no ability at all, let alone live a prosperous life, it is difficult to support ourselves.

What others say is other people's business. You can't forget your roots in life, and the old man has no skills. Apart from setting up a longevity card for Master Li at home, he can only set up a stall during the Thanksgiving celebration every year to see how much Master Li is still alive. Is there any use for it. "

Old Seventeen's words revealed sincerity, those former Liyue's low-level people didn't have any great skills, so they just made river lanterns and ate their food.

To be a human being, you have to be conscientious. When your ability is limited, you can't change what others think, but at least you can't forget the classics and forget the person who gave you this food. That's something that a beast can do.

"Master Li, everything is ready, what kind of river lantern will we make this year?"

Old Seventeen said that he took out all the materials for making river lanterns.

Whether it is the size or the material, these materials have been carefully prepared by him, just for this day of Thanksgiving celebration.

Yes, there are no ready-made river lanterns here at Old Seventeen. They are all tools and materials for making river lanterns.

Because of this, even if most customers come over, they will change stalls knowingly when they see that there is no He Deng sale.

Li Shuo picked up the pen and said: "After writing the wish with the pen, put it on the river lantern that I made by myself. Although the river lantern may not be as good as the ones I bought, it has a sense of ritual."

Paimon was a little embarrassed, she looked at her hands: "But we don't know how to make river lanterns."

"Learn, it's very simple."

Li Shuo put it on the pen, picked up the lotus leaf to make the river lantern, and taught Ying and Paimeng next to him while doing it.

Ke Qing's words have been taught countless times when she was a child, and practice makes perfect now.

Even though he is still a little bit drunk now, after drinking the hangover soup, his movements don't seem to be at all unfamiliar.It didn't take long to see that there was already a small and exquisite river lantern in Ke Qing's hand.

Paimeng looked at Keqing's finished river lantern in surprise, the stars in his eyes were shining brightly.

Whoosh~pa~

Everyone followed the sound and looked up at the sky. It was the sound of firecrackers exploding.

This is the voice of reminder, telling everyone to take the river lanterns they have prepared and go to the Quyue River in an orderly manner. After the fireworks rise into the sky and fill the night sky, you can put down your own river lanterns.

Sure enough, those passers-by who were still wandering before heard the sound of firecrackers and started to walk towards the bank of the Yuyue River.

"We are not in a hurry. The first batch of river lanterns are the most likely to be wiped out. The real protagonist is often the last to appear."

After comforting Ying and Paimeng, Li Shuo instructed them to make their own river lanterns with the prepared materials.

After a short time, two very beautiful river lanterns, although not very delicate, were also finished.

Looking at the river lanterns they had made, Ying and Paimeng felt a different kind of satisfaction in their hearts.

After the river lantern is done, it is time to write down your blessings on the paper.

Paimon wrote without hesitation: There must be endless delicious food, endless Moura

Ying thought for a few seconds and wrote down on the paper: Open all the treasure chests in Tivat Continent.

After writing, I always felt that something was missing, so I added four more words in the corner: I found my brother.

Ke Qing's wish had been written long ago, but she didn't let Li Shuo see it, so she hid it secretly, but her eyes kept copying Li Shuo's direction.
