Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Four months ago, a cemetery was built on the seashore in the northern suburbs of Liyue Harbor. Buried there are the people's soldiers, the Liyue Thousand Rock Army.

This cemetery faces the sea. The deceased cannot see the magnificent waves on the other side, but those who come to pay their respects can see it clearly.

Su Ping carried a basket, bought a few bunches of white flowers and put them in the basket, and set out to sell flowers just like he did many years ago, except that this time, he didn't sell his flowers.

In that cemetery, there were many people he needed to see, including Yanchuan, Ning Lian, Captain Ying Qian, and Lao Hu. These four were his closest soldiers in the camp.

In front of the tombstones of the Qianfu Captain and Lao Hu, Su Ping presented each of them with a bouquet of white flowers. Then, with his empty hands, he saluted and turned around to look for the other two.

After a long search, they finally found it. It turned out that the two tombstones were in the same place, making them neighbors. No wonder Su Ping had a lot more difficulty finding them.

As usual, each person presented a bouquet of white flowers, then saluted, squatted there, and looked at the two tombstones and two lines of words.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The main reason is that my injury is indeed quite serious. Please don't blame me!"

Naturally there was no response, but the boy didn't care about that. He just kept talking to himself, saying whatever came to his mind, as if he was really chatting in the military camp.

"By the way, I also brought some wine. It's the roasted intestines that Brother Shounuo found for me. It tastes authentic!" Su Ping said this without taking his eyes off the word Yanchuan.

After that, he took out a small pot of wine and three wine glasses from the basket and said with a wry smile, "These are the only ones you can find in Liyue Harbor. Don't mind."

There are actually many people like this who talk to themselves in this cemetery, not just him, not just this pair of comrades.

Su Ping drank three cups in a row, poured three cups for them, "drank" three cups, and then filled the two glasses placed in front of the tombstone, but did not pour any more for himself.

"As usual, we have to stop after three cups. I have something else to do later, so I can't stay with you for long. I'll leave the wine here for you, drink it slowly."

The young man had a handsome face, but spoke with the vicissitudes of life of an old man. He then placed the wine jug there, between the two tombstones.

Holding the basket, he looked deeply twice, then turned and left.

As he was leaving, a woman came up with a basket on her arm. She looked at the flowers and the wine jug and wine glass in front of the tombstone, then looked back at the figure that was receding without saying a word.

The woman leaned over and handed over a bouquet of flowers as well, then placed her fingers over the word Iwakawa, not touching it but her eyes were already clouded over, right in her hand.

"Yan, you deceived me once and made me follow you wholeheartedly. Now you want to leave me alone just because you are dead. It won't be that easy."

The woman smiled, her expression calm but her words were blunt, "You have a good brother, who knows that you love these things, and brought one to see you. Did you see it, did you see it?"

Su Ping, who had gone far away, had already returned to Liyue Harbor.

He put the basket in the shop, then changed out of Qianyan Army's yellow clothes and put on ordinary clothes before going out again.

On July 15th of this year, he did not see the person he wanted to see, so he planned to go to the Hall of the Reborn to ask clearly so that he would not be worried about it all the time.

There is an old yellow tree in front of the door and a notice board with people's names and addresses, plus the slightly eerie atmosphere, one can tell with their eyes closed that this is the Hall of Rebirth.

In front of the Hall of the Dead, there was a lonely little girl holding a favorite kite in her hand, but her pretty face showed no joy but sadness.

"Little Walnut, what are you thinking about?"

The little girl Hu Tao immediately looked up and saw that it was the handsome boy. She was surprised and said with a smile: "Why are you here, big brother? Hu Tao thought you forgot the appointment!"

Su Ping leaned forward and smiled gently, "How could I forget? It's just that I didn't confirm the time before, so come here as soon as you have time. Don't be the one who breaks your promise."

Walnut nodded, "Yes, I will never break my promise. Big brother, do you want to go find grandpa first, or should we come back after we finish playing?"

Su Ping scratched his head. He didn't expect that the little girl was so clever. She could see through him and realized that he was here to see Master Hu, so he told her the truth.

"I have something to ask Master Hu. Once I solve it quickly, I'll take Little Hu Tao out to play. Is that okay?"

Hu Tao nodded heavily, "Grandpa is in the hall, big brother, go quickly, Hu Tao will wait for you here and won't go anywhere."

"So good." Su Ping smiled, stood up and walked into the Hall of Rebirth. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or the truth, but he felt that the temperature had dropped a little.

The decoration was still the same as the shop outside. Master Hu was sitting at the tea table next to the counter, drinking tea leisurely and calmly. When he saw the young man coming in, he poured him another cup.

"Master Hu." Su Ping called out first, and only sat down after the other party nodded, and asked about his recent situation, "How are you doing recently?"

"If you have something to ask, hurry up, otherwise you will waste time and it will be me, an old man, who will be blamed by Xiaotao in the end!" said Master Hu dimly.

Su Ping nodded immediately and said, "In that case, please explain to me, Master Hu, why have the souls of those who died on the battlefield never appeared in people's dreams?"

"Ghosts are afraid of the righteous energy, the metal energy, and the sand energy. Why are there only heroic spirits on the battlefield, but no souls of the dead who died tragically crying out for injustice?" Hall Master Hu said unhappily.

Su Ping was speechless. Although this did make sense, how could he, an outsider who knew nothing about ghosts, know about these things? As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. He could kill people and monsters, but he really didn't understand ghosts.

"Is the old man's explanation clear and brief enough?" Master Hu said lightly, holding a cup of tea.

Su Ping said: "I do understand."

Master Hu hummed, then blew his beard and glared, "Why don't you go play with Xiao Tao? Why are you drinking tea here? This tea tastes so good, isn't it worth savoring it carefully?"

Su Ping drank the perfectly hot and cold tea in one gulp, bowed and said goodbye, then stepped out of the door at the speed of wind and disappeared in a flash.

"He runs really fast, ah..." Hall Master Hu sighed and shook his head, raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Old man, why does my granddaughter like to play with a boy like this? He says they look a bit similar, but they are not the same person after all!"

Ignorant of the old man's complaints, Su Ping outside took Little Walnut with him and followed his wishes, leaving the city from the west to fly a kite.

Stepping out of Liyue Harbor again and looking at the familiar scenery, Su Ping's heart was complicated yet simple, because this trip was for fun, and because this trip was for fun.

After walking for a while, the little girl's feet obviously couldn't support her anymore, and she kept shaking as if she was standing in the freezing cold and snow.

But the little girl seemed very stubborn. She gritted her teeth and did not ask for help from the boy beside her. Instead, she continued to move forward step by step, as if she would not give up until she conquered this land.

Su Ping looked at the stubborn little girl and couldn't help asking, "Little Walnut, do you want me to carry you?"

"Okay, okay!" Hu Tao agreed immediately, smiling from ear to ear, but considering whether the boy would be too tired, he asked worriedly, "Will it be too tiring for big brother to carry Hu Tao on his back?"

"Of course not." Su Ping shook his head. In terms of weight, Su Ping could carry a large water jar and walk back and forth in Chen Ge Hu several times back and forth. Now, carrying a little girl of a few years old on his back was no problem at all.

Su Ping leaned over and let the little girl climb onto his back. Finally, he realized that it was indeed difficult to carry her on his back, so he simply let the little girl sit on his shoulders and supported her with one hand.

The little girl, who had never sat on someone else's strong arms since she was a child, laughed non-stop and kept saying thank you to the big brother, and hoped that she could sit on him more often in the future.

Su Ping naturally agreed to all of this. After all, there was still a lot of time before the little girl grew up. As long as he kept his distance from her after she was in her teens, there would not be any problem.

The clever little girl, looking at the sky which was even wider than what she had seen before when she was standing on the stool, couldn't help but come up with a strange idea.

"Big brother, if I sit on your shoulders and fly the kite, the kite can get closer to the sky, so, is that okay?"

Su Ping smiled and said, "Little Walnut, hold on to the kite string firmly and don't let the kite fly away."

Walnut put her hands on her hips and said with a grin, "At the end of flying a kite, you should cut the kite string and let it fly freely in the sky. If it breaks early, you don't have to cut it anymore!"

Su Ping did not try to break the little girl's naive idea, but in fact, even he did not know that the little girl knew that a kite could only fly far if it was tied to a string, but she just did not say it.

On the hill, there was a little girl sitting on the boy’s shoulders. The little girl held the string in her hand, pulling the kite high up, as if it was hanging in the sky.

Two people were watching this scene from afar, one had a strange look, and the other had no expression.

Under a big tree far away, there is a flock of sparrows flying around. Their clear and not harsh calls make people feel ethereal.

The young man with a strange look on his face was Nan Zhangsheng, who often came here. He was not surprised by the two figures in the distance, but rather puzzled.

"How come Brother Su knows Hu Tao? They should have nothing in common."

"A palm-born creature, a group of sparrows, so cute!" Qiqi, who is petite and expressionless, looks at the creatures in her hands and beside her, and speaks like a babbling child.

Nan Zhangsheng squatted down, touched the porcelain doll's head, and said with a smile: "Qiqi is the cutest, the cutest in the world!"

Qiqi didn't understand why he was laughing, but she laughed along with him. It was finally no longer a "murderous" smile, but a bit more childish and cute.

Two places, laughter, different people, different experiences, but they all have the patience to treat children, which is precious.

However, some people were secretly worried, "What if Hu Tao finds Qi Qi first, and Brother Su is also there and refuses to listen to advice? Will I be able to stop him..."
