Chapter 4: The Morning of the Escape
The next day, before the morning sun had fully risen, it seemed that someone had smeared a layer of pink on the pale blue sky, and countless golden rays of light were hidden under the pink.
After a quick bite of their meal, the morning workers hurried to the docks, shouting, shouting, and greetings, and Liyue Harbor, the largest dock on the continent, gradually woke up from their sleep.
Outside the carved mansion, Ruo Ban, who was wearing a golden coat, crept out of the house with a bowl of beef offal, and didn't know when Sister Keqing came back last night, and when he got up this morning, the golden shrimp balls in the kitchen were gone, and there was an extra bowl of beef offal on the table.
Speaking of beef offal, Ruo Ban never thought that when he celebrated his sixteenth birthday, Ke Qing would actually make a bowl of beef offal for him, originally thought that this was something special, but later asked his stepmother, who covered her mouth and told him that this was because Ke Qing didn't learn the golden silk shrimp balls, and then he had to learn the simple cooking of beef offal.
Felt the smooth cut of the offal with his tongue, well, if he guessed correctly, Sister Keqing should have cut it with the dragon in the box, it seems that Sister Keqing is also a busy day today.
"Boss Ruoda, you said that I went to Mondstadt without preparing anything, will I be eaten by that dragon then?"
"Hehe, it's just a Dvalin, Uncle Ben can't beat Uncle Ben on both legs."
The Dragonlord's tone was full of disdain, if Morax's Jade Shield was on him, he would be able to loosen the earth of Mondstadt without any damage.
"I think back then, if it weren't for the fact that Morax didn't want to continue to expand his territory, if the two of us fought one country at a time, it wouldn't be long before we could bring all the remaining six nations into Liyue's territory."
Ruotuo Dragon King's disdainful tone and domineering words made Ruo Ban let go of the last trace of worry in his heart, since Ruo Tuo Boss said so, if he had any more concerns, it would be that he didn't trust Ruo Tuo Boss.
"Let's go, speaking of which, I've never been to Mondstadt since I'm so old, and it's exciting to see what surprises a foreign land will bring."
Ruo Ban put the last bite of offal in the bowl into his mouth, and the empty bowl was casually received in the space of the Vision of God, this small space was a gift from Grandma Ping, as if it was made with the immortal technique of 'exterior scene', anyway, it was quite magical.
At the entrance to Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao was squatting on the ground and counting the ants, because she had forgotten to ask Ruo Ban when she was going to leave yesterday, and Hu Tao, who was worried that she would miss her goodbye, was waiting for Ruo Ban before dawn.
"Little ant, little ant, when did you say that Ruoban will come?"
Hu Tao wiped the food scraps from the corner of his mouth and put it on the ground, and the ants around him sensed the appearance of the food and carried this gift from God without calling friends.
"Hu Tao, why are you here, waiting for me here?"
"No, the hall master is not waiting for you, the hall master is just passing by here."
Hu Tao, who was startled by Ruo Ban's pat on the shoulder, immediately stood up, and the Hu Tang Master who used to scare Xiangling in the past was finally sanctioned today.
Hu Tao's disguise was seen through by Ruo Ban at a glance, the little dew on his eyelashes was not waiting for him in the morning, Ruo Ban was a little moved and wanted to laugh in his heart, he reached out and rubbed Hu Tao's little head, this stupid girl, if you want to wait for him, it would be good to go directly to Kefu and wait for him, just wait here.
"Next time I go out again, I'll tell you the time in advance, you stupid girl has been waiting for me here for a while."
"No, no, I've just arrived."
Hu Tao glanced at the slightly red face, but the flush on his face spread to his neck, feeling Ruo Ban's smiling eyes and the warmth on the top of his head, Hu Tao forcibly endured the shyness in his heart and handed the plum blossom hidden behind him to Ruo Ban, and said hesitantly
"This is the flower sent to you by the master of the hall, I read in the book, if a friend goes out to send flowers, you can bless your friend with a smooth journey."
Ruo was stunned for a moment, he grew so big or the first time he received tweed, a strange feeling rose in his heart, he took the plum blossom in the hand of the walnut, a faint fragrance came to the face, the fragrance, refreshing, but not strong, light and elegant, it can be seen that this plum blossom must not be ordinary.
"You guy, you must come back safely, the hall master didn't prepare a coffin for you."
Before Ruo Ban could say anything, Hu Tao left the next sentence and ran to Liyue Harbor as if he were running for his life, Ruo Ban stared blankly at the plum blossom in his hand, and burst out laughing.
"Hu Tao, I haven't married a wife yet, how can I explain myself to Mondstadt, but I seem to have seen this flower in the Hall of the Dead."
"Hmph, this scene reminds Uncle Ben, he used to send flowers to Morax, Uncle Ben asked her how many flowers to taste, and she didn't give them to Uncle Ben."
Ruotuo Dragon King's unhappy voice sounded in Ruo Ban's head, and the corners of Ruo Ban's mouth twitched, good guy, people who send flowers to Emperor Rock may like Emperor Rock King, what are you an outsider mixing with blindly, you just mix and forget it, you actually ask people to taste the flowers? No wonder it was sealed by the Rock King.
In the Hall of the Dead, Zhongli stood quietly in front of the plum blossoms he bought with a lot of money and looked at the bare plum blossoms in front of him expressionlessly.
In Liyue, Ruoban walks along the avenue to Mondstadt, occasionally encountering patrolling Milleliths, who will smile and say hello to Ruoban.
Over the years, if you are forbidden on the way to find the Emperor of the Rock King, if you encounter monsters, you will also solve it easily, which can solve a lot of trouble for the Millelith Army, and over time, the Millelith Army will know this warm-hearted young man.
At noon, the sky was clear, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun was scorching the earth, the sun was like a steamer, and the earth was so hot that you couldn't breathe.
Affected by the Mondstadt disaster, the once bustling Wangshu Inn is now extremely deserted, and the staff in the inn are idle, and the idle owner Philgodette teases the kitten at the counter, and Yanxiao sleeps lazily in the kitchen.
"Boss, let's get some tea to relieve the heat first, and then put on almond tofu and Tianshu meat, and the account will be on Sister Qing."
"Okay, if you ban the young master, the food will be served to you immediately."
It may be that there are no guests, the tea is served immediately, and the sweaty Ruo Ban picked up the tea on the table and poured a pot, the cool tea was mixed with a little mint, this pot went down, and the heart was cool and flying~
"Cool~"
Leaning back on a chair, the dining place in the Wangshu Inn is ventilated on all sides, and the gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness to this hot afternoon.
"Forbidden boy, you change positions, Uncle Ben wants to see Gui Liyuan."
I don't know why, Ruotuo Dragon King suddenly asked Ruo Ban to sit in a different direction, although Ruo Ban, who had not heard of the legend of Gui Li, felt a little inexplicable, but he still changed to a position where he could see Gui Liyuan, after all, Ruo Tuo Dragon King has not been less sick over the years, I remember that when Ruo Ban first saw the pot, Ruo Tuo Dragon King still shouted in his head Ma Ke or something.
I don't know what Ruotuo Dragon King thought, the broken mouth of the past actually stopped, and Ruo Ban was also happy to eat a clean lunch.
A mouthful of almond tofu in the stomach, even if it is a glutton, Ruo Ban has to admit that Yanxiao's almond tofu is indeed better than Xiangling, the slippery and tender 'tofu' perfectly neutralizes the excess bitterness of the almonds, not so much eating almond tofu as drinking almond tofu, the tofu in the mouth did not have time to chew before it slipped into the stomach.
"The food in this place of Wangshu Inn is delicious, but why do I always have a feeling of being spied on, the leyline perception can't sense who it is, this feeling is really unpleasant."
