Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The next day, Sang followed Saliwan to a nearby town called Shahe Town. Surprisingly, although the desert was so desolate, the town looked quite vibrant.

Of course, the vitality of this town is still far less than those places outside the desert, but compared with the sand dunes and Gobi Desert that Sangger saw along the way, it is really lively, even as lively as the town near Shangqi Village where he has been living.

Sang and Sullivan got off their horses. He looked around along the way and suddenly bumped into a tall man. The man looked at Sang numbly, frowned, and then his eyes fell on Sullivan beside Sang.

"Lao Sha, you're back?!" The tall man's numb face first showed a look of surprise, then he grinned, "Have you been doing business again recently? Is this guy with you? Where did you recruit him from?"

The tall man asked several questions in a row, and Sullivan responded with his basically unchanging smile. Without saying a few words, the tall man suddenly grabbed Sanger's shoulder and pressed it hard. Maybe for him, the force he used was not great, but Sanger felt that his shoulder was almost crushed.

"Hiss--" Sang screamed in pain, and Sullivan grabbed the tall man in time.

The other party did not feel that he had done anything wrong. His numb face even had a bit more spirit, as if he had seen something interesting, and his expression suddenly became lively:

"You are quite protective of him. I understand. This is probably the son-in-law you found for yourself, right?" The tall man suddenly raised his voice. Sang had no idea what the other party was saying. He only knew that after he said this, several people suddenly came closer to him. He pressed his aching shoulder and turned to look around. He saw several people with the same expressions as the tall man approaching. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, some were thin, some were old, and some were young.

Without waiting for these people to surround him, Sullivan put away his smile and said in a slightly reproachful tone:

"Don't talk nonsense! This is just a helper I found on the road." Sullivan said, and then said in a deep voice to the crowd that gathered around him: "There's nothing to see here. They just want to join in the fun every day. Go away."

"What's going on? Lao Sha found a son-in-law for his daughter?"

"This kid looks average, dumb and stupid."

"He's quite fair-skinned. Maybe Ah Le likes him like this."

Although Shaliwan had already explained Sanger's identity in advance, the crowd that had gathered around him didn't know whether they hadn't heard him or were pretending to be stupid. They continued to talk about what the tall man had said before. Seeing this, Shaliwan had no choice but to pat Sanger on the back and said:

"Go! Go! Don't bother with these people. You can't even explain yourself to them."

After saying that, without paying any attention to the crowd around him, Sullivan pulled the reins in his hand, causing the horse to let out a low cry and slightly raise its front hooves, which frightened some people who kept approaching. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he increased his strength and pushed Sang away from this "place of trouble".

Sullivan quickened his pace, and Sanger followed behind him with a bewildered look on his face. As he walked, he recalled what those people had just said. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he said loudly:

"Oh! You are from this town!"

"Hey, what? Do you think I grew out of the desert?" Sullivan smiled again and responded with a chuckle.

"That's not the case. Why didn't you tell me about this town yesterday?" Sanger asked, scratching his head. After a moment, he suddenly added, "Huh? They said I was the son-in-law you found. Do you have a daughter?"

"You don't really want to be my son-in-law, do you?" Sullivan asked back with a helpless smile, which made Sanger's face turn red immediately.

He was just a child who had not experienced much of the world. He grew up in a village on the edge of the desert and had little communication with the opposite sex.

Most importantly, his parents were not like other parents in the desert. Those parents in the desert would often arrange marriages for their children early on. After all, life in the desert was difficult. Although there were no worries about monster attacks, it was not easy to survive. If they did not get married and have a baby early, no one knew whether the family's incense would suddenly stop one day.

But Sang's parents seemed to have never thought about this matter. Considering his age, Sang had already reached the age for marriage among the people in the desert.

In any case, because of shyness, Sanger did not respond to Sullivan's words and followed him back home with a red face.

When Sullivan saw his house, he shouted towards the house. Sang, who was still shy, did not hear clearly what Sullivan shouted, but not long after, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, Sullivan's door was quickly pushed open. Sang felt a flash before his eyes, and patches of bright red, orange and yellow colors flashed in his sight. Then he came to his senses and saw a girl who was a few years younger than him.

The girl's appearance is not good-looking. If you take every part of her face separately, you can find flaws in it. But if you take these less satisfactory parts as a whole, they appear very attractive. Perhaps in this town, the girl can also be considered a beauty.

"Dad!" The girl called out to Sullivan crisply, and soon discovered Sang who was following him.

"Huh? Who is this? He looks so dirty." The girl spoke with a hint of disgust, blinked her eyes, and then stood behind Sullivan.

"Dirty?" Sang didn't expect that the other party would comment on him like this when they first met. He subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he looked down, he found that he was indeed covered in dust, and his clothes had several holes because of the bumpy journey.

This appearance does not look very clean.

"He's a helper I found... or rather, I picked him up on the street. He'll help me out when I go out to do business." Sullivan patted the girl's head. "Besides, he's older than you, so you can't be so rude."

The girl seemed not to have heard the second half of Sullivan's sentence, and there was even a hint of hostility in her eyes as she looked at Sanger.

"Dad! Why don't you take me with you when you take him with you?" The girl's tone was a little aggrieved, and she began to grab Sullivan's arms and swing them back and forth with both hands. Seeing this, Sullivan had no choice but to say to Sanger:

"This is my daughter, her name is Shale (Yue). She is still young, but she pesters me every day, wanting me to take her to do business."

Hearing this, Sang raised his eyebrows. He was a little dissatisfied with Shale's disdain for being dirty just now. Now seeing the other party's behavior, he immediately showed a smug expression, but turned his head to the side, and said as if talking to himself:

"You definitely can't take this little girl with you. If she goes to the desert, she'll probably come back crying that night. How can we do business then? She'll just be a burden if we take her with us."

"Who are you talking about!"

Sanger didn't lower his voice at all, so these words easily reached Shale's ears. She immediately got angry and took a few steps closer to Sanger. But after a while, she realized the height difference between her and Sanger. If she got closer, her momentum would be weaker than the other party. She had to stop halfway, but the anger on her face became even stronger:

"Why do you say that to me? It's not like I haven't been to the desert with my father before!"

"Then why doesn't Uncle Sha want to take you with him now? Isn't it because he thinks you're troublesome?"

"You! Dad!" Sha Le couldn't argue with Sang Ge, so he stamped his feet in anger and pulled Saliwan to say:

"I don't like this guy! I don't want him in my house!"

"It's really a child's temper." Sang muttered again, still without lowering his voice, which naturally angered Shale again.

Seeing that Shale's face was twisted with anger, Shaliwan had to stop the two of them with a smile. He first looked at Sangge with a reproachful look, but did not express dissatisfaction. After all, the two of them had walked in the desert together for so long and had a tacit understanding. Sangge's words just now were signaled by Shaliwan. Now the reproach in Shaliwan's eyes was just that he blamed him for provoking his daughter too much.

"Alright, alright," Sullivan patted Sanger on the head, "There's nothing to argue about. Sanger will help me run my business in the future. You always said you were worried that I was unsafe outside alone. Now that someone is accompanying me, you should be happy."

After saying that, Sullivan took Sanger into the house. Sanger looked at Sullivan's back, then looked at Shale's angry face, and shrugged:

"Uncle Sha is really nice to me."

After saying that, he walked into the house with a swagger, regardless of what Sha Le was thinking at the moment.
