Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

There was a patch of green grass in the backyard of the grocery store. There were several obvious small holes between the shop and the outer wall. It was obvious that there had been a fence before, but it was later removed.

There are two banana trees planted at the foot of the courtyard wall. They are lush and green, with large leaves swaying in the wind. With the light rain falling, the trees have a pastoral feel.

Opposite Bajiao was a small room with a window. It was not too big because it was not as big as the room where Su Ping originally lived.

Bai Wen and Su Ping each held an umbrella, with the former in front and the latter behind, always maintaining a distance of three or four steps between them.

"You will live here from now on. If you have nothing to do, it's nice to stay in the room and read a book. If you have any questions, you can come to Miss Ningguang, or you can come to me."

Bai Wen introduced the surrounding layout like a middleman. She pointed to a corner of the courtyard wall near the shed and said, "From here, you can go directly to the shop where you will display your goods in the future.

The previous owner of this shop and this house sold it to the young lady not long ago, so the hole in the fence is still there. If you don't like it, you can fill it up.

These are the two shops, and the key to your room. Take them, I am going back to the shop."

The other party said a lot at once, and Su Ping only responded. After taking the key, he went to open the door, wanting to see what his future residence would be like.

The first thing I saw when I opened it was that the room was very clean. It couldn't be said to be spotless, but it was pretty close. There was a bed with a cushion, a table and chairs, an oil lamp, and two pots of green ivy plants in the corner.

The compact house also gave people a sense of security. Although small, it had everything that was needed. Su Ping was not the kind of person who was extravagant and licentious, so this was enough for him.

After standing outside the door and taking a few glances, Su Ping closed the door and walked along the "alley" beside the courtyard wall that was only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time until he reached a door.

Su Ping used the key to unlock the door and pushed it open. It was empty inside except for two cabinets against the wall. Although they were old, they were clean.

The front of the shop was a "big window" that could be pushed up, which was very similar to the small shop that Su Ping had seen in his previous life, and the front door of this shop was on the side.

Overall, both the size and the portal design are not as good as Ningguang's. No wonder the previous owner of this shop sold it.

Folding his umbrella and leaning against the door, Su Ping stood in the shop, looking at the arrangements that might be needed tomorrow, or how to display the cakes and pastries to make them more attractive.

Relying on previous customers is certainly feasible, but there may not be no competitors around. If the situation like that at the previous stall happens again, it will be the end of you.

If people only live off their old achievements, it is only a matter of time before they are ruined. If they cannot come up with some innovations, then the most likely scenario is that they will remain unknown in the future, or simply retire at the peak of their career and leave behind a glorious name.

If you want to sustain it for a long time, you can't just rely on pastries. Seasonal drinks like plum soup have received good response.

After standing there for a while, Su Ping turned around and went back to get an umbrella. After closing the door on this side, he went out from the front door on the side, because there was no direct exit from the backyard unless he climbed over the wall.

In order to avoid going back to the grocery store and then leaving from there, Su Ping was willing to take this shortcut.

He didn't plan to be away for a long time this time, he just wanted to return some things because they were no longer needed.

At noon.

Su Ping came out of the carriage shop recommended by Nan Zhangsheng, holding part of the returned deposit in his arms, and he felt more confident.

In the evening, a man and four women went to Liyue Shiji. Since the dinner had been scheduled and could not be cancelled, they turned the negotiation table into a celebratory banquet, which would not be a waste.

……

On the second day, the shop officially opened. Some customers had known the news in advance, so they flocked to the shop. No one gave way to anyone else and just wanted to buy some to try.

Before the shop opened, when the sun had just risen, Ningguang walked downstairs and said with a smile: "Remember to wash your face in the morning. Not only will your face be clean, but maybe your luck will be better!"

Su Ping listened to these reasonable words and suddenly felt very familiar with them. It seemed that he had said these words casually on the street of Chihuyan after he made his first fortune from poetry and writing.

At that time, he looked at the little girl who was a few inches taller than him, called her sister, and used his creamy little face to "exchange" for two conches with Mora meat patties.

He didn't know where the little girl was now or how she was doing, but he placed the two star snails in his new house, and they are still there today.

A casual remark was not enough to make Su Ping think of anything. In addition, his mind was completely occupied by the shop at the moment, so he could not think of much else. Making money was the most important thing.

The next few days were similar. The daily necessities of life, and occasional chats with the women in the main shop, were the days that passed one by one.

Until one day at the end of August, when Su Ping put his hand on the "big window" and was about to close the door, there were finally ups and downs.

Because behind him, a familiar voice called out, "Xiaoping."

The voice was clear and tender. Su Ping knew who it was without turning around, because there were only two people who would call him like that, and also because... they were too familiar.

"Sister Xiao Cui." Su Ping closed the window and turned back to look. He couldn't help it. His pupils trembled slightly and he stood there in a daze.

The other person was indeed Xiao Cui, there was no mistake about that, but she looked haggard, and her whole body seemed to have shrunk a lot thinner, as if a strong wind would blow her away.

But such changes in just a few days are really amazing.

Su Ping quickly stepped forward and supported Xiao Cui. He was really afraid that if he wasn't careful, she would fall to the ground.

"I've been looking for you these past few days, and finally... I found you!" Xiao Cui said weakly, and then her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness.

Su Ping opened his eyes wide and quickly picked her up. Bai Wen, who was standing at the door, also said hurriedly: "Take her to rest quickly, I'll go get a doctor!"

In the small house in the yard, Xiao Cui was lying on the bed. Su Ping moved a stool and sat beside her, frowning with worry on his face.

The doctor who was invited to the hospital explained after feeling the patient's pulse: "The patient's heart qi is blocked and stagnant in the chest. He was very emotional just now, and the malnutrition in the past few days caused him to faint.

The patient can only wake up after I give him acupuncture. If any of you are the patient's family members, please sign the medical permission before I can start the treatment."

No one present except Su Ping could sign, so of course he couldn't refuse and say something like "that's not the case".

In the column for exact relationship, he filled in sister and brother, cousin.

After receiving the piece of paper, the doctor put it away carefully, then asked everyone to go outside, closed the door, and started the treatment.

Outside the door, Su Ping hung his head. It was hard to tell what his expression was, but it was definitely not good.

Standing not far away, Ningguang watched the whole process and pondered for a moment. She had investigated Su Ping's family details, past addresses, and even his literary works.

After learning about the other party's experience and family background, she believed that it was the right choice to sign a contract and start cooperation with him.

But why did the woman look like this? Could it be that Su Ping was not as gentle as he looked, but was actually a hypocrite who didn't care about the people close to him at all?

This needs Ningguang to consider, but she still believes in her own judgment and thinks that the seedling she has chosen will not be a shameless person.

After waiting for a long time, the door finally opened. The doctor came out and said slowly, "The patient is fine now. Just give her more nutritional supplements in the next few days. The total cost is 50,000 Mora."

Su Ping thanked him, took out money from his pocket to pay the bill, and then went in to check on Xiao Cui.

The doctor was invited by Baiwen, and she was the one who sent him there. As for the other two, Ningguang arranged for them to look after the shop, while she herself went to the small house to take a look at the situation.

Inside the house, Xiao Cui was lying on the bed. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at the young man not far away. A smile appeared on her pale face, full of desolation.

Su Ping did not sit down this time. He stood by the bed and asked in a deep voice, "Sister Xiao Cui, why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Xiao Cui asked weakly.

Su Ping shook his head slightly. "No, how did you find me? How is Aunt Zhang?"

"Don't worry, my mother is fine. I'm just too ill. I've been looking for you in Liyue Harbor these days. I feel so sad that I can't eat..." Xiao Cui spoke slowly, her tone was very light but her words were very serious.

"I asked the General Affairs Department for help, and I have been looking for you for the past few days. Fortunately, my efforts paid off. I finally found you."

"What do you want to see me for?" Su Ping asked a question that even he found funny.

It's really funny and ridiculous. What's the point of looking for him?

What else can we do? We are just worried about how he suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. We can't find him in the camp, and he left alone, leaving behind some money. He thought he was being carefree and responsible, but he ended up hurting Xiao Cui.

"Only when we find you and see that you are okay can mom and I feel at ease." Xiao Cui said with a bitter look on her face, "Dad is gone, you can't...anything else happen to you!"

Su Ping remained silent. He thought that leaving would at least save their lives and prevent them from being implicated because of him. But even if he left, it made no difference. They still suffered and now ended up like this.

Maybe this is not a problem of fate, but his problem. It was this innocent soul who claimed to be able to look ahead and behind and always ensure that everything is foolproof that caused this harm.

He could think that fate would harm the other party, but he never thought that the other party would always come to find him. If that was the case, wouldn't his leaving without saying goodbye be even more hurtful?

Su Ping was confused. For a moment he didn't know what to do or what to think. If he got close to her, he would be implicated and harmed. The same would apply if he stayed away from her.

It seemed like it could never be changed, as if the people around him always suffered various dangers because of him. It was all because of that fate, everything was because of him.

Su Ping, who had lost his mind and didn't want to think anymore, believed in his heart that it was his own problem. No one could persuade him, and he could only untie the knot in his heart and be free.
