Chapter 4 The morning of escape

The next day, the morning sun had not yet fully risen. From a distance, it seemed as if someone had put a layer of pink on the light blue sky, and there were countless golden lights hidden under the pink.

People rushing to work early in the morning took a quick bite of their meal and then hurried to the dock. Shouting, shouting and greetings came one after another. Liyue Port, the largest dock on the Teyvat continent, gradually woke up from its sleep.

Outside Ke's Mansion, Ruo Jin, who was wearing a golden coat, crept out of the house with a bowl of beef offal. He didn't know when Sister Ke Qing came back last night. When he got up this morning, he found the gold in the kitchen.

The silken shrimp balls were gone, and there was a bowl of beef offal on the table.

Speaking of beef offal, Ruo Jin never imagined that Keqing would actually make a bowl of beef offal for him on his sixteenth birthday. He originally thought it was something special, but later asked him about it.

The adoptive mother covered her mouth and told him that it was because Keqing failed to learn the golden shrimp balls. Later, she ran out of time and had to learn simple dishes like beef offal.

He felt the smooth cut surface of the beef offal with his tongue. Well, if he guessed correctly, Sister Keqing should have cut it with a dragon in the box. It seemed that Sister Keqing had a busy day today.

"Boss Ruotu, you said that if I went to Mondstadt without any preparation, would I be eaten by that dragon?"

"Haha, it's just a Twalin. He can't beat me even if I give him two legs."

Ruoduo Dragon King's tone was full of disdain. If Morax's Jade Shield was put on him, he would be able to loosen the soil of Mondstadt without any damage as a dragon.

"I think back then, if that guy Morax didn't want to continue to expand his territory, if the two of us fought one country at a time, it wouldn't take long to bring all the remaining six countries into Liyue's territory."

Ruo Tuo Dragon King's disdainful tone and domineering words made Ruo Jin let go of the last worry in his heart. Since Ruo Tuo had said so, if he had any further concerns, it would be because he didn't trust Ruo Tuo.

"Then let's set off. Speaking of which, I have never been to Mondstadt before in my whole life. It's really exciting to see what surprises this foreign land will bring."

Ruojin was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had received flowers at this age. A strange feeling arose in his heart. He took the plum blossoms from Hutao's hand, and a faint fragrance came to his face. The sweet fragrance

, refreshing, yet not overpowering, and extremely elegant. This shows that this plum blossom must be extraordinary.

Ruojin took the last bite of beef offal from the bowl and put it into his mouth. The empty bowl was placed in the space of the Eye of God. This small space was a gift from Grandma Ping. It seemed to have been created using the magic of "Exterior Scene".

Anyway, it's quite magical.

"Okay, Master Ruoqin, the food will be served to you right away."

Hu Tao glanced away her blushing face, but the blush on her face spread to her neck. Feeling Ruo Jin's half-smiling eyes and the warmth on her head, Hu Tao suppressed the shyness in her heart and held the plum blossoms hidden behind her back.

He handed it to Ruo Jin and said hesitantly.

"These are the flowers sent to you by this hall master. I read in the book that if a friend travels far away and sends flowers, it can wish him a safe journey."

"No, this Hall Master is not waiting for you, this Hall Master is just passing by."

"No, no, I just arrived."

"Little ant, little ant, when do you think Ruojin will come?"

"I will tell you the time in advance next time I go away. You stupid girl have been waiting for me for a while."

In Liyue, Ruojin walked calmly on the road leading to Mondstadt. Occasionally he encountered the Qianyan Army patrolling, and the Qianyan Army would also say hello to Ruojin with a smile.

"Boss, let's get some tea to relieve the heat first, then serve almond tofu and Tianshu pork, and I will charge the account to Sister Qing."

Ruotuo Dragon King's displeased voice sounded in Ruo Jin's head, and Ruo Jin's mouth twitched, "Good guy, maybe he likes Emperor Yan Wang by sending flowers to Emperor Yan Wang. You, an outsider, are just meddling in this nonsense. Just forget it."

You actually asked someone for a taste of flowers? No wonder it was sealed by the Rock King.

Affected by the Mondron disaster, the once bustling Wangshu Inn is now extremely deserted. The sparsely populated Wangshu Inn has made all the staff in the inn idle. The idle boss Phil Godette is teasing the little boy at the counter.

The cat, Yanxiao, was lazy and fell asleep in the kitchen.

At the entrance of Liyue Port, Hutao was squatting on the ground in boredom, counting ants, because she forgot to ask Ruojin when she would leave yesterday. Worried that she would miss her farewell, Hutao waited here before dawn for Ruojin.

In the Hall of Rebirth, 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 without expression. He could twist the plum blossoms into such a state that even the brainless and lifeless Rock Ridge would know that it was done by walnuts.

"Hmph, this scene reminds me of me. I have sent flowers to Morax before. I asked her how many flowers she wanted to taste, but she refused to give them to me."

Maybe there were no guests, so the tea was served immediately. Ruoji, who was sweating profusely, picked up the tea on the table and poured a pot of it. The cool tea was mixed with some mint. After drinking this pot, it was refreshing.

Flying~

"Cool~"

At noon, the sky in Liyue was clear and there was not a single cloud in the sky. The sun was scorching the earth. The sun was like fire, and the earth was like a steamer. It was so hot that people couldn't breathe.

"Jin boy, please change your position. I want to see Guiliyuan."

"You guy, you must come back safely. This hall master has not prepared a coffin for you."

Over the years, if Ruo Jin encountered monsters on his way to find the Rock King, he would deal with them easily. This solved a lot of troubles for the Qianyan Army. Over time, the Qianyan Army all got to know this warm-hearted man.

juvenile.

If you can't lean on the chair, the dining area for distinguished guests in Wangshu Inn is ventilated from all sides, and the gentle breeze brings a bit of coolness to this hot afternoon.

"Hutao, why are you here, waiting for me here?"

Ruo Jin saw through Hu Tao's cover-up at a glance. What else could the dewdrops on her eyelashes be if she didn't wake up early and wait for him? Ruo Jin felt a little moved and wanted to laugh. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Hu Tao's little head. This silly girl,

If you wanted to wait for him, why not go directly to Kefu to wait for him? But you waited here instead.

Before Ruojin had time to say anything, Hutao dropped his words and ran towards Liyue Port as if running for his life. Ruojin stared blankly at the plum blossoms in his hand, thought of something interesting, and burst into laughter.

Made a sound.

Hutao wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth and placed it on the ground. The ants around him sensed the presence of food and carried this gift from heaven without calling their friends.

"Hutao, this guy, I haven't married yet, how could I leave myself in Mondstadt? I seem to have seen this flower in the Hall of Purity."

Hu Tao, who was startled by Ruo Jin's pat on the shoulder, immediately stood up. The leader Hu who often frightened Xiang Ling in the past was finally punished today.

For some reason, Ruo Tuo Dragon King suddenly asked Ruo Jin to sit in another direction. Although Ruo Jin, who had never heard of the legend of Gui Li Yuan, felt a little baffled, he still changed his position so that he could see Gui Li Yuan. After all, Ruo Tuo had been sitting in a different direction for many years.

The Dragon King is also prone to illness. I remember that when Ruo Jin saw Guo Ba for the first time, the Dragon King Ruo Tuo still shouted something like "Ma Ke" in his head.

I don't know what Ruotuo Dragon King thought, but the usual quarrels stopped, and Ruo Jin was happy to have a clean lunch.

After a bite of almond tofu, even the gourmet Ruoji has to admit that Yanxiao's almond tofu is indeed more delicious than Xiangling. The smoothness and tenderness of the 'tofu' perfectly offset the excess bitterness of the almonds.

Eating almond tofu is more like drinking almond tofu. The tofu you put in your mouth slides into your stomach without even having time to chew it.

"The food at Wangshu Inn is delicious, but why do I always feel like I'm being spied on? I can't sense who it is with my sense of earth veins. This feeling really makes me feel uncomfortable even eating."
