"Don't be distracted!"

Mandrill leaned against the pillar and said to Gui Chuanyu.

Gui Chuanyu, who was wearing a horse stance, had a bulging face, and she was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Master, I practiced horse riding when I was a child."

"And my uncle also taught me later, and I'm really good at it!"

He said this not because he wanted to show off, but mainly because he wanted to express that he could actually do it after practicing recently.

But that's not the case in Mandrill's ears.

Mandrill, with his arms folded across his chest, looked at the child speechlessly: "How old are you? Where did you come from when you were a child?!"

After saying that, he casually picked up a small stone, held it in his hand, and threw it at his apprentice with controlled force.

winter--

"Ouch! It... hurts so much!"

A stone hit her thigh, and the pain made Gui Chuanyu's horse stance shaky.

The soreness on his thigh also made him want to reach out and rub it.

But he raised his eyes like a conditioned reflex, after seeing his master's expressionless eyes.

Gui Chuanyu was stunned but did not change the posture of the horse's steps.

At the same time, I endured all kinds of pain and discomfort and tried my best to make the horse stance more standard.

After more than a month of getting along with each other, the smart Gui Chuanyu has learned when to be obedient and when to be coquettish after suffering several hardships.

But every time at this time, he missed his uncle very much, because in his memory, his uncle always insisted on letting him play.

Although there is also practice, it is mostly just explanations and exercises, and no requirements are made.

Gritting his teeth, Gui Chuanyu was still insisting, and Mandrill, who was watching on the side, nodded inwardly.

Simply speaking, the child's temperament and talent are top-notch.

Mandrill was very satisfied with this.

He looked up at the sky, and the heavy rain clouds outside the eaves were still floating in the sky.

The continuous spring rain never stopped.

The patter of rain beats on the leaves, gathering into droplets of water and falling to the ground, making a "ding-dong" sound.

The rare peaceful atmosphere made Mandrill feel a little lost.

But he was soon interrupted.

Guichuanyu's mind wandered away again, which made him feel confused and a little unhappy at the same time.

"What happened to you today?"

"Can't you bear this little pain?"

"No." Gui Chuanyu shook his head and denied.

Because he had to endure the physical pain, the look on his face was a little funny at the moment.

"Master, I'm a little worried about Garfield. His temper has become so weird recently that he won't let me hold him."

"Also, I suddenly miss my uncle...and my mother..."

It has been more than two months, and he has never been away from his family for so long.

Days like this made him miss his family so much.

Hearing his disciple's words, Mandrill fell silent.

He had a general understanding of Ruo Tuo's situation, but he didn't quite understand it.

In fact, he doesn't even understand everything about your family.

Just like he still doesn't understand why Ouyang wants to be Gui Chuanyu's master.

Relatively speaking, the True Lord of Gechenlang City who is also in Liyue Port is obviously more suitable than him.

But due to the emperor's advice, he never delved into it.

He only knew that the reason for Ruo Tuo's recent bad temper should be related to Ouyang.

But obviously you cannot talk to your children about this.

So Mandrill had no choice but to comfort him: "Didn't you ask Garfield to go to the Keqing military camp to deliver the news?"

"Now calm down and practice hard. We will know the situation when he comes back."

"Oh." Gui Chuanyu replied dully.

Different from the simple and peaceful days here, the Keqing Military Camp far away in Guiliyuan seemed much livelier.

Ever since Ouyang got rid of an evil spirit here, the excavation work of this section of the river has gone extremely smoothly.

Except for the occasional encounter with some small monsters, there are no major events.

After Master Lishui Dieshan came here to help, the progress of the entire project was as fast as adding a rocket!

The canal from Guiliyuan to Yaoguangtan has been dug.

Not only that, now even the water section near Shimen and Mondstadt has been completed.

Now there are only some finishing touches left.

Such as building some toll stations, bridges, cleaning up construction waste and other tasks.

In the drizzle, Ke Qing stood alone on the river bank without an umbrella, looking at the dug canal.

Today is the day to send the immortal away.

The canal project was coming to an end, and Lord Li Shui Die Shan did not choose to stay after completing his work.

After a simple farewell ceremony, he left.

But after the excitement, she came here unconsciously and stood in the rain looking at the dams built on both sides of the river bank, quietly lost in thought.

A canal starting from Shimen and winding all the way to Yaoguang Beach was built.

This should have been a feeling of accomplishment.

But I did not get the happiness and joy I imagined.

It seems... maybe there should be two people standing here.

She could proudly say to him, "Look, I have completed your plan for you!"

It's a pity that now the spring rain is falling, and she is the only one left here.

Thinking of the news about the disappearance of Tianshu Star in the intelligence, the joy that the canal was about to be completed did not dampen the worries about Ouyang's safety.

Where have you been?

The same problem also troubled Shen He who was far away in the Rock Abyss.

She stood under the eaves of the tent, looking at the entrance of the cave, as quiet as a watchtower stone.

It's been two months. We promised to meet each other soon, but now we just want to punch each other twice.

fraud!

Snap——

An innocent pebble was kicked away, slid through a graceful arc and landed on the other side of the mountain.

winter--

"Meow?!" (Who throws things without any sense of ethics?!)

Ruotuo, who was running with all his strength, was startled by the sudden appearance of the pebble.

It's not that it hurts, it's not as painful as scratching, but it's not very harmful and very humiliating.

He was already extremely irritable, and he looked around as if he had found an outlet to vent, hoping to find the culprit and teach him a lesson.

But before he could get angry, he saw that Shen He heard the sound and came here.

She looked at Ruo Tuo who appeared in front of her, and an ominous omen arose in her heart.

"Garfield? Why are you here? Something happened to Gui Chuanyu?!"

As he spoke, Shen He's body was filled with murderous aura, which shocked Ruo Tuo.

The murderous aura that shot straight into the sky formed a strong wind, blowing away all the surrounding gravel and drizzle.

"No, no!" Ruotuo quickly reassured.

The murderous aura dissipated and the spring rain fell again, but the frosty-faced Shen He asked with a strange expression: "You, can talk?!"

Well...

The scene was awkward for a moment.
