Chapter 192: Treading the Waves (3-in-1)
[This paragraph is free of charge: Some of the unreasonable plots in the previous chapter have been modified, thank you for the reminder of the book friend, but the outline of the article has been decided, and it can only be slightly changed without affecting the follow-up plot, and it looks as brainless as before. Thanks again for the suggestion. 】
In the wee hours of the morning, it was just dawning.
Eat Tiger Rock Avenue No. 3.
The hazy light of the early morning shines through the screen window, giving the room a glimmer of light.
The old pocket watch next to the pillow made a crisp click, and the sleeping man shook his head, waking up by the sound.
"It's five o'clock......"
Shi Lan was sleepy-eyed, and saw the time clearly with the slightest light.
put down his pocket watch, sat up from the bed, stretched out tiredly, smashed his mouth, and muttered, "Get up more than an hour early...... It's so uncomfortable......"
Sleepy, he closed his eyes and got dressed, put his feet on the ground and poked his shoes out, and then he lit the kerosene lamp, and the room was finally clear.
Although the home has been replaced with a stone lamp that can emit light, Shi Lan still likes this old-fashioned thing.
After that, brush your teeth and wash your face.
"If you want to bring a lot of clothes... And cups, toiletries ......"
Shi Lan rummaged in the room for a long time, and many worthwhile things were stuffed into the imaginary belt.
When you go abroad, you must collect some specialties and messy things from other countries, and the original cloth pocket is a little insufficient, so Shi Lan asked Grandma Ping to help adjust the cloth pocket and expand the space.
After thinking for a while, Madame Ping re-sewed the simple cloth bag, made it into a belt, and added three dark golden stones in the shape of four-pointed stars on it, each stone has an extremely wide independent space, which can probably fit the size of a house.
Completely solved Shi Lan's backpack crisis.
This new cave space was called the "Void Zone" by Shi Lan.
Shi Lan almost emptied her house, the kind of treasure poachers who had to walk away with tears in their eyes.
He stood at a table with a clay sculpture of the Emperor of the Rocks.
He spent 180 Mora sets on a ring stall when he was a child.
It is said to be a guaranteed model.
For Shi Lan, who had never seen the real body of the Rock King Emperor, he didn't know if this clay sculpture was right, anyway, he had never heard that the Rock King Emperor would be better than Scissorhands......
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Lan still decided to take this thing away, hoping to get the emperor's care when he went out.
When he removed the clay sculpture, he unexpectedly found that there was a wooden box behind it.
"I don't remember I put a wooden box here?"
Puzzled, Shi Lan opened the wooden box.
A golden light shot out of the crack in the wooden box, and when he opened it completely, he was almost blinded by the golden light emitted by Mora, which was full of boxes...
"This, this, this... So much!
!
”
Shi Lan's mouth opened wide.
"How did I not know I was so rich?"
He let out a slow breath, and when he looked closely, there was a note on Mora:
[Good son, there are a total of 2,092,530 Moras here, all of which you have earned in recent years, take them out and spend them!] Don't be looked down upon! 】
"What!
! Shi Lan's eyes widened in disbelief, "I...... How rich is it? ”
Then he saw a note followed by a line of small letters: "The two million are the two fractions I added to you."
Shi Lan: "........."
Two fractions is just two zeros, right......
"More than 90,000, did I make such a little money?"
But think about it, although Shi Lan likes Mora, she is not stingy with money, and it is best to buy clothes and fabrics, because good fabrics can be worn for a long time, and it is absolutely good to spend a penny when you eat what you like.
Although I did earn a lot in the past, I actually spent most of it.
And the monthly money that Yelan sent to herself hasn't been counted yet.
All in all, Shi Lan did achieve her economic freedom on her own.
"Anyway, did you give me Hu Tao's 50,000 Mora?"
Shi Lan pondered the question, and then counted out the ninety thousand Mora from the wooden box.
"Daddy's is still Daddy's, I don't need your money, let's keep it and buy wine...... You can't quit anyway. ”
He took the wooden box with him and prepared to send the money back to Ishiyama.
Then, Shi Lan took off the sting dragon in his right hand and placed it on the table, feeling unpleasant, twisted it a few more times, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
In its closed state, it is not clear that the stinging dragon has lost its fingers.
The two of them wasted a while of effort last night, and just when Kun Jun thought that this repair was going to be completely finished, Shi Lan finally broke out.
After a frenzied ram, the sword was repaired......
It's so abrupt, it's that simple, and there are no earth-shattering twists and turns.
It wasn't until the two of them came out that they realized that the Moon Festival was over, and they hammered in the secret room for a day and a night......
What kind of bright lights and festivals are celebrated, it has nothing to do with a dime of your own money......
I didn't even participate in the finals of the tournament......
※※※
"That's it, from now on, you can stay here by yourself, the outside world, as long as a dragon sting is enough."
The stinging dragon was covered with a cloth, and Shi Lan tiptoed downstairs.
He walked around the house for a while, looked at the door of Shishan's house, hesitated for a long time, and finally remained silent without speaking, put the wooden box in the place where Shishan hid wine, Shi Lan walked out of the house gently, and said goodbye to his home silently.
Next, what awaits him will be a long and magnificent journey, and Shi Lan will also grow in it.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Shi Shan slowly opened his eyes, then got out of bed in his clothes, and through the window, he saw Shi Lan's back farther and farther away.
Silently returned to bed, rolled over and fell asleep.
"Stinky boy, you don't even know how to say hello and call me."
"But I'm going to come back safely."
…………
The temperature in the early morning was still a little low, Shi Lan wrapped his clothes, and he was going to cross the Tiger Rock Street, go down from the Scarlet Cloud Slope to the dock port, and board the boat there.
Because Shi Lan had been working with Kun Jun on the day of the Moon Festival, he also missed the annual Moon Festival while understanding Kun's forging.
Of course, he had missed something more important, but Shi Lan couldn't remember it for a while.
Beidou sent someone to Shi Lan's house yesterday, but unfortunately he didn't see him, so he left a message.
There were too many people leaving Liyue by boat after the Moon Festival, and there were many boats in the Southern Cross, so it would be inconvenient to make it to the rush hour, so the message said that Shi Lan should meet Qian Yan'er at the dock before half past seven, leave early, take a small boat, and finally board the Death Omen near Guyun Pavilion.
Shi Lan thought that he would leave silently like this, not giving his partners a chance to say goodbye.
He was afraid that he would cry in that kind of scene......
"I'm sorry... Friends... I'll apologize to you when I get back......"
"It's not too late to apologize!"
Eating at the head of the Tiger Rock Bridge, the boys and girls stood in a row, blocking the way majestically.
"Xingqiu... Chongyun, Xiangling, Yun Jin, Xin Yan, Hu Tao..."
All the friends are here......
Except for a certain master......
Xin Yan put one hand on Hu Tao's shoulder and said proudly: "Want to sneak away?" We've got caught, right!? ”
"That's it." Hu Tao nodded like pounded garlic: "I don't treat us as brothers." ”
Xiangling looked at Hu Tao embarrassedly: "Hu Tao, there is something wrong with what you said...... We can't be brothers..."
"You guys!? How could it be here!? Shi Lan ran in front of them, very surprised, I don't know whether to panic or rejoice.
"There's nothing you can hide from this girl, hahaha! We'll be waiting for you here at five o'clock. ”
Hu Tao confidently crossed his waist and laughed.
The rest of the people nodded in unison.
Chongyun said: "You disappeared for a day yesterday, and everyone was worried about you, until Yun Jin said that you were going to do something very important, and we were relieved." ”
"You really didn't inform us that you were going to sneak away alone, it's too uninteresting, I despise you!" Xingqiu pouted and was very dissatisfied.
Xin Yan was also very unhappy and said: "Yesterday I left you a good place under the stage, but unfortunately you didn't come ......"
Yun Jin covered her mouth and smiled: "Xin Yan's words...... Didn't you finish half the song and be driven away by the Millelith? ”
"Hey! It's obvious that they don't know how to appreciate! ”
Looking at the indignant looks of his friends, Shi Lan waved his hand again and again: "Don't get me wrong... I just..."
Hu Tao blinked, suddenly realized, and answered in advance: "Oh~ I know, you must be afraid of parting sadness, and then cry after getting on the boat, right?" ”
Shi Lan complained frantically: "You understand again!"
? ”
"Huh?" Xin Yan was very curious: "Will Shi Lan cry?" To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen Shi Lan cry! ”
"I've never seen him cry..."Yun Jin smiled: "It's always been like this, there will be nothing sad with Shi Lan~"
"But there will be anger and anger..."Xingqiu is worthy of being Shi Lan's best friend: "He sometimes can't speak, I really want to beat him, but I'm afraid that he will beat me to death... When he was practicing martial arts, he slapped me and almost didn't fan my soul out..."
Shi Lan was unconvinced: "Hey, hey, hey!" You brought it upon yourself to have that day! ”
"Alright, we're not here to talk to you today!" Hu Tao waved his hand, signaling the audience's eyes to look at her.
"Listen, Shi Lan is about to board the Death Omen Star and follow the Southern Cross to the sea, and will land in various countries at that time, if you need it, tell him quickly! I'll come first! ”
Hu Tao said, and put his hand into his arms.
Shi Lan's face was expressionless: "If it's such a thing as handing out leaflets in a foreign country, you don't need to say it." ”
Hu Tao stiffened when he stretched out his hand, and then laughed.
"Hehe, do you think I'm only going to let you do stupid things like handing out flyers......"
Looking at Hu Tao's reaction, Shi Lan's expression was a little moved: "What, have you researched a new way of advertising?" ”
Hu Tao decisively stood to the side: "I'm fine, next!" ”
Everyone: "........."
Sure enough, it's still handing out leaflets!
Chongyun took out a stack of talismans: "This is the wonderful talisman I asked my father and mother to make."
It is different from the talisman that exorcises evil spirits, and the main function of the spirit talisman is to strengthen personal ability, strength, jumping, agility, and elemental power.
But you can only use one sheet at a time, for 30 minutes, and if you use more, your body will not be able to bear it.
There may be some dangers when you go out, and I hope these will help you. Take it, don't shirk it, it's just for you. ”
"Thank you......" Shi Lan took Chongyun's talisman.
Chongyun scratched his head and smiled, "Remember to come back and bring me some foreign-flavored popsicles." ”
"Definitely!"
"And me!" Xiangling raised her hand and came over.
"Pot!"
She shouted loudly behind Shi Lan.
Only a jingle was heard, and everyone looked out.
I saw that behind Shi Lan, a pile of old pots and pans floated over slowly.
If you squat down, you might be able to see the two small short legs of the pot.
"Come on, come on, look at these, will the pot be broken? Will a kitchen knife be used? When you go out, you must carry a picnic pot and a campfire with you, don't you have a cloth pocket that can be filled with anything, I just thought I would prepare these ...... for you" Xiangling was like a treasure, and handed the same kitchen utensils to Shi Lan.
Shi Lan obediently put it away, and said helplessly: "Actually, most of the time is on the ship......
"I've thought about that, too." Xiangling said with a smile: "Pot! ”
Guoba turned his head and ran towards Wanmin Hall again.
Xiangling took advantage of this time to hand the packaged vinegar, rice, oil, and salt to Shi Lan one by one.
"Remember to put oil first, the ingredients can not be wet when the oil pan is cooked, if the rice is raw, you can poke a few holes in the front and pour a little water, stuff the lid and cook for a period of time to rescue it, you can't say it's perfect, you can only say that it's okay to eat......"
Shi Lan listened quietly.
The rest of the friends were stunned.
"Xiangling...... It's amazing......"
At this time, the pot came over with a big bag.
"What is this?"
"It's vegetables! You can catch fish and sea beasts on the boat, and you can eat meat, but you can't eat vegetables......"
"Pot!" Xiangling shouted again.
The pot sat on the ground and pretended to be dead directly.
"Pur, lur, lur, ......" (My body is already as weak as a candle in the wind...) )
I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it!
"Alright, alright!" Shi Lan put all these things into the virtual belt and hurriedly stopped Xiangling. "Enough is enough......"
Xiangling was a little unhappy: "But what if you don't eat well on the ship, what if you're hungry and thin?" ”
Shi Lan comforted her and said: "It's okay, it's only a few months to drift on the sea, if you go to land, you will replenish supplies, the eldest sister is an old captain, everything will be thoughtful......
"That's... All right... Next time you come back, just tell me what you want to eat..."
"Uh-huh." Shi Lan nodded hurriedly.
"Damn! You guys secretly prepared gifts! Didn't you say that you would find him to settle the account for his sudden disappearance! Xin Yan didn't admit defeat and said: "Hmph, even so, it can't help but make me Xin Yan!" ”
With that, she pulled her guitar out.
"Let me send you on your way with a hot rock song!"
Shi Lan / Everyone: "........."
"Now, I'm going to wake up my neighbors who are still sleeping." Yun Jin pressed Xin Yan's hand and reminded, "It's not too late to play it when he comes back......
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. Xin Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Then I'm fine, I'm just here to join in the fun......"
"Is it my turn?" Yun Jin squinted her eyes slightly, stepped forward, and stretched out her hand to Shi Lan: "Home sticker, it's time to return it to me, my father will be angry if he knows." ”
"Mmmm, I haven't forgotten that." Shi Lan put the Yun family's house in Yun Jin's palm, "It's really helpful." ”
"Did you give her the sword?" Yun Jin blinked.
"Not yet, but I've already entrusted Kunjun, and he will send it for me."
"That's good."
Xingqiu tilted his head: "It's over?" ”
"It's your turn."
"Oooh."
Xingqiu suddenly became a little flustered, and sneakily pulled Shi Lan aside: "Good brother, can you do me a favor?" ”
Shi Lan's face was awkward: "Don't be like this, let's have a relationship, just say something directly." ”
"That's ......"
[Xingqiu said his request and took out a crudely bound book]
"Shen Qiu Picks Up the Sword Record".
"What?" Shi Lan seemed to know Xingqiu on the first day: "You wrote it!" ”
"Shhhh
Xingqiu's face turned red, and he was very embarrassed: "Don't be so loud!" ”
As he spoke, Xingqiu cautiously looked back, as if he was a thief.
"You help me get Inazuma...... They're popular there! As long as I find the editorial department and submit my manuscript under my pen name......"
"Aren't Feiyun merchants all over Teyvat? Why don't you just let someone in your family send it? ”
"Inazuma is now locked off! The outer sea is full of thunderstorms, and only the Death Omen Star can rush in, and the materials of our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce have been entrusted to the "Southern Cross" for transportation, so ...... My dream of being a writer depends on you! Shi Lan! ”
"Why don't you go to Inazuma if you don't release it in Liyue?!"
"Because the people of Liyue can't appreciate my writing for the time being......"
Xingqiu faced the cold wind and said quite arrogantly.
Of course, his back is not very straight.
He wouldn't say that he was directly beaten back by the Liyue Literary Society because of his sloppy handwriting......
Liyue here pays attention to the first impression of calligraphy glyphs, although your story is well written, but your handwriting is not good, who will read your book? No matter how good the writing content is, it's useless.
Inazuma doesn't pay so much attention to it, and what is more important on their side is the core of the story.
"Okay, I'll try..."
Seeing Shi Lan's tangled look, Xingqiu made a decision directly: "All the income from Inazuma's side belongs to you." ”
I thought that Shi Lan could pat her chest directly, but I didn't expect Shi Lan to change her normal state and whispered:
"Dude, it's not a matter of money or not... For something important and unknown, I can't easily promise... Of course, I will definitely do my best for your sincerity......"
After a period of greetings, most of the time had passed, and there were still twenty minutes before Shi Lan boarded the ship.

It's time to say goodbye.
"In that case, don't pass it here."
"Tsk, let's go!" Hu Tao waved his hand impatiently.
Shi Lan just smiled, and simply turned around and walked towards the port.
"Shi Lan! Take care! ”
"If you hit a ghost, remember to tell me what a foreign ghost looks like when you come back!"
"Shi Lan! I remember! Inazuma's most famous bookstore is called Yaedo! Let's go to Yaedo first! ”
"Don't die outside! There is no international business ...... for the time being."
"Walnut! That's so unlucky! ”
Shi Lan didn't look back, just stretched out his hand and waved: "Goodbye!" Everyone! ”
"The blue sea is endless, and the young man treads the waves and rides the wind. Have a nice trip, Shi Lan. ”
"Walnut! Is this really a poem you wrote? ”
"What? Underestimate this girl? ”
"I don't underestimate it, I just don't believe you."
"Xingqiu! You've gone too far! ”
The boys and girls watched Shi Lan disappear at the end of the road, silent for a long time.
…………
"Did you forget something?"
On the port steps, Shi Lan met Zhongli.
He was looking through an ancient book when he saw Shi Lan coming, he closed the book and handed it to Shi Lan.
"A very powerful-looking teenager gave it to me, and he asked me to pass it on to you."
Seeing the title of the book, Teng Snake Fist, Shi Lan remembered that he had missed the appointment.
I once made an appointment with the Great Sage, and before the Moon Festival, the Great Sage will complete the translation of the Teng Snake Fist Method, and meet in Hengshan on the same day.
"It's... Trouble..."
Shi Lan was very upset, a little worried about whether he would become the kind of bad guy who didn't abide by the agreement in the eyes of the Great Sage... After all, in Liyue, the Broken Word is the least popular...
Zhongli glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Because Shi Lan is not the only one who broke his promise......
Xiao was not very familiar with literature, but he eventually approached Emperor Rock and asked for help in translating ......
Zhongli didn't expect that the translation work would come back to him.
In fact, Zhongli didn't bother to translate, and the work was eventually outsourced to Ganyu......
And on the day of the Moon Festival, Xiao was busy cleaning up the remnants of the Demon God of Dihua Continent and didn't come to Tianheng Mountain at all, and the book was always kept here in Zhongli.
Watching Shi Lan leave, Zhongli nodded in satisfaction.
"I've sealed most of your absorption power in terms of the power of prayer, but I've kept some of it, hoping that you'll soon understand the duty that this power brings to you......"
※※※
"Miss, it turns out that you got up so early..."Xiao Ci entered the house with a basin of hot water and found that Keqing had already gotten up early.
"My health is much better, Xiaozi, prepare some generous gifts, and I will send them to Mr. Bai later."
Keqing opened the window, the bright sunlight shone on her ruddy face, she picked up a wooden comb, held her hair to her chest, and gently combed her hair.
Xiao Zi followed Keqing's gaze and looked out the window, and said tentatively: "Miss...... That guy... I'm leaving today......"
"Let's go... The outside world will not be able to stop his ......"
"But he didn't come to see you until the end..."
Keqing smiled and said, "Didn't you kick him out?" ”
Xiao Zi suddenly panicked, and took a few steps backwards: "I... I'm just acting for Miss..."
"Grievances?" Keqing combed her long hair.
Xiao Zi lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"I don't expect a response from him, and even if he doesn't understand, I'll just laugh it off. Because that's what characterizes him. If he comes to me because of your words, I will only think that it is a charity to me.
Although he is stupid, he is extremely proud in his heart, and I don't need or like Shi Lan who bows his head like this. Do you understand? ”
"I'm sorry, miss." Little words reddened their eyes.
"I'll fine you for a month." Carved clear and turbulent road.
"Yes......"
"Let's get another hot ......"
"Miss!" A family member whispered outside the door: "Kun Jun, the young master of the Kun family, came to meet the eldest lady... I said I was giving you a small gift for a friend..."
Keqing combed her hair for a moment.
※※※
The day is getting brighter, and the day is dawning.
Shi Lan followed Qian Yan'er to board the merchant ship in the noisy crowd.
The merchant ship staggered to the side of the Death Omen docked in the Lone Cloud Pavilion, and with the help of a lifting rope, some of the cargo on the merchant ship was hoisted into the Death Omen's cabin.
Shi Lan also followed on board.
He's finally leaving Liyue.
"What! Sentimental? Beidou smiled and stood beside him, his arms folded, looking out over the port of Liyue.
"To be honest, it's a little... I left Liyue, who had lived for so long..."
"Hahaha, it's a good thing to think about my hometown, and I have a concern in my heart." Beidou smiled heartily: "Let me tell you, on the sea, the most terrible thing is not the overturning of waves, nor the sea beasts like mountains, but the numbness and dryness of the heart that has lost faith." ”
Shi Lan was silent.
Beidou patted Shi Lan on the shoulder, "Young man, the days are still long, come on!" ”
"Yang Fan! Pull it all up for me! Paddle up! Southern Cross! Set sail! ”
"Set sail!"
The sea dragon blew the horn, and the heavy trumpet rippled on the surface of the sea, and the three sails of the death omen rose in unison, shocking and magnificent.
"Fin Stygian Sea, tail point distant mountain? ~”
Accompanied by a gentle song, the oars of the Death Omen swayed the waves, and the huge fleet of Southern Cross swayed and sailed high in the wind against the sun!
The stone on the side of the ship stood like a stubborn stone, and even though the ship swayed, it remained as motionless as a mountain.
He stared at the prosperous Liyue Harbor, and the boy and girl raised their hands and waved them desperately.
Glimpsing the top of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, a green figure was standing, the sea breeze blowing the hem of his clothes, and watching Shi Lan go away.
"Wait until I get back......"
Shi Lan waved his sleeves and turned around suddenly.
Then a wave struck, slapping on the death omen, and the hull of the ship shook, and Shi Lan slapped on the deck in large characters.
Liyue ......
[Volume 1: More Than Years] ends.
