Chapter 49: The Way Home
Early the next morning, Wang Daoyi and Xiangling appeared at the gates of Mondstadt.
didn't wait for Wang Daoyi to find a red-haired man to collect wool,
The Knights thoughtfully prepared a carriage for them, which was originally used to place the ingredients for Xiangling, and now it is just a big pile of luggage and gifts for the two of them.
It was just an ordinary horse-drawn wagon, usually used by small merchants to transport goods, and now it was full of luggage for the two of them, including Xiangling's ingredients, books that Wang Daoyi had bought in Mondstadt, gifts for family and friends, and a large pile of meat products from Qingquan Town
When I came, there were only two packages, and when I went back, there was a cart of luggage, and Wang Daoyi couldn't help but sigh, this was really a fulfilling journey.
Departing in the morning, with the sun rising overhead, the two came to Dawn Winery again.
may have known Wang Daoyi and Xiangling, and as soon as they arrived at the winery, two unknown maids warmly welcomed the two into the winery.
Arriving at the manor in the heart of the winery, Butler Eze was already waiting.
"Welcome, thank you both for helping to save Mondstadt, I have the best gift for both of you, please accept it."
Mr. Eze is not only Diluc's butler, he is also the president of the Mondstadt Wine Association, so he prepares a lot of Mondstadt's unique wines for the two of them.
"It's a thirty-year-old dandelion wine, as well as a special cider and sunset fruit, all of which are ordinary Mondstadt wines, but they're all cellared from the oldest cellars, so be sure to take them back to Liyue and give them to your friends to taste."
Mr. Eze prepared a whole cart of wine for the two of them, and the two of them were dumbfounded.
Although they put it off for a long time, the two of them still couldn't resist Mr. Eze's enthusiasm, and in the end, in addition to a cart of luggage, there was also a cart of Mondstadt's special wine.
With the drag of two truckloads of goods, the speed of the two is not as fast as when they came, and Shimen, which could be reached in one day at full speed, now takes several days, and I have to say that this has greatly slowed down the speed of the two.
With the end of the Mondstadt disaster and the number of caravans coming and going, the boy and girl with two cartloads of goods discussed and naturally joined a caravan bound for Liyue.
The convoy traveled day and night, trying to avoid monsters that could appear on the road at any time, and even if it was extremely careful, it was attacked by hilichurls several times.
I have to say that hilichurls do like to attack caravans, these dwarf monsters, led by hilichurl thugs, often a dozen in a team, when they see a caravan, they rush up with a roar.
The caravan was not vegetarian, and the hired adventurers would form a circle, using the carriage as a cover, to protect the people in the caravan who were not good at fighting, and then cooperate with the tacit understanding to deal with the attack of the hilichurls.
These adventurers are all experienced, and although the hilichurls have medium-sized monsters like hilichurl thugs, they still can't break through the adventurer's protective circle.
Wang Daoyi and Xiangling didn't need to make a move, and these experienced adventurers easily repelled the siege of the hilichurls.
With the caravan at their fingertips, the two of them didn't have to look at the road, just let the horses follow the caravan.
Wang Daoyi was lying in the carriage reading a book, while Xiangling was humming an unknown minor tune on the side,
It only took one day to come, and this return trip took three full days for the caravan to finally arrive at Shimen.

"Thousand rocks are strong and unmovable! Welcome back to Shimen Camp, you guys, it looks like you're on a good trip! ”
The Millelith Army of Shimen still remembered Wang Daoyi and Xiangling and greeted them warmly.
"Yes, Emperor bless, this trip went smoothly and we benefited a lot!"
"That's good, please come in, if you need anything, just call us directly, after the last attack, Lord Ningguang strengthened the defenders of Shimen, this time you can rest assured!"
"Okay, thanks,"
Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic defenders of the Millelith Army, the two entered the familiar camp with the carriage.
Not only has the damage caused by the previous attack been repaired, but there is also a large pile of building materials piled aside, presumably to continue the construction of the camp.
Walking inside, the Shimen camp was still as lively as it was, and most of the caravans stopped here to communicate.
Between Mondstadt and Liyue, the Stone Gate should be the meeting point for news from both sides.
Within ten minutes of entering the Stone Gate, Wang Daoyi had heard no less than ten times someone discussing the rescue of Mondstadt by two Liyuens.
Captain Mingqin had announced that the two Liyueites had helped, but in the Liyue-affiliated Shimen camp, the news had already been spread that the two Liyueites had saved Mondstadt.
I have to say that the rumors are really unreliable.
and Xiangling glanced at each other, and they both saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, quite a little joy in mastering the same little secret.
It's still the inn, and the shopkeeper still remembers the two of them, and they received them warmly.
"I don't know if Xingqiu and Chongyun have found the ruins they are looking for, and when they go back and pass by the Wangshu Inn, they have to ask."
After packing up their things and entrusting the two carriages to the care of the shopkeeper, the two dined in the lobby of the inn.
I had to chat when I was eating, and when I chatted, I remembered the chivalrous duo who went out together and then went to find the ruins of ancient chivalry.
"It's been almost a month, and even if they haven't been found, they should have returned to Liyue."
Although Xiangling is a chef, she is not picky about the food in the inn, she eats very fragrantly, she has never been a picky eater, and she never picks fault with food when she is not learning from cooking.
Sandwiching a piece of braised pork into a bowl of Wangdao, Xiangling felt that Xingqiu and Chongyun should already be in Liyue Harbor.
"Not necessarily, if they do find the ruins, then a month is not enough to explore, there are only two of them, even if it is a small ruin, it will be at least a few months!"
Wang Daoyi has experience with the Treasure Hoarders, even if it is the destructive development of the Treasure Hoarders, it will take a long time to explore a ruin, and the duo is obviously not the kind of person who will destroy the ruins, so if they find the ruins, it will definitely take a lot of time to explore.
Xiangling, however, felt that the duo's chances of finding the ruins were slim; "How many years has the news of the ruins in Dihua Continent been spread, and a large number of people go to Dihua Continent to explore every year, just with an unknown treasure map, the possibility of finding the ruins is too small!"
The two chatted with each other, from the adventures of the duo of Xingqiu Chongyun, to how to deal with Master Mao's nagging after returning to Liyue, and to the interesting stories of this trip.
Time flies, and a table of dishes is slowly solved by the two of them.
After eating and drinking, the sky was already dark, and the two went back to their rooms to rest.
This time, there should be no monsters to harass.
