I write novels in Liyue

An elderly man with a full head of white hair, but still standing tall, arrived at Chihu Rock.

He seemed to be in poor spirits and appeared somewhat tired.

As he passed by the Three Bowls Without Port, he stopped and looked at the storyteller Tian Tiezui, who was holding a folding fan and talking eloquently in the center of the stage.

"On the day of their departure, a heavy rain fell! The soldiers bid farewell to their families and turned to walk into the wind and rain, just as the saying goes..."

"It's the story of the Abyss of Layered Rocks..."

Uncle Tian stood before the Three Bowls Before Crossing the Harbor, listening quietly with a deep and solemn gaze.

He had read about the history of the strata abyss in historical books.

It is a magnificent epic of defending the country and living in a way that is both moving and inspiring.

It is a story written in bold strokes in history books by a group of great heroes with their own blood.

He shed tears several times while watching it.

After listening to Tian Tiezui finish telling the story, he dragged his slightly tired body toward Wanmintang.

The streets were bustling with activity.

Upon arriving at the nearby Wanmintang, Xiangling warmly welcomed him.

"Uncle Tian, ​​you're here to eat again? What would you like to eat today?"

Xiangling showed the tea to Uncle Tian and asked him a question.

"The usual way is fine."

Uncle Tian said with a smile.

"Uncle Tian, ​​you don't look too well lately. How about we eat something healthy today?"

Xiangling said.

"Alright, you can arrange it."

Uncle Tian picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said.

The dishes at Wanmintang are cheap and affordable.

Moreover, he is also a very good cook.

Healthy dishes can also be made to taste delicious.

There's no need to worry about Master Mao and Xiangling overcharging customers. I haven't been feeling well lately, so eating some healthy dishes would be a good idea. Therefore, I'll leave the arrangements to Xiangling.

"Well."

Xiangling nodded, waved to Guoba, and said, "Guoba, let's get started."

"Lulu lulu".

Guoba nodded happily and skipped after Xiangling into the kitchen.

Before long, several dishes were served, their aroma filling the air.

"It's delicious."

Uncle Tian nodded, picked up his chopsticks, took a few bites, and praised it.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Tian."

Xiangling scratched the back of her head a little embarrassed, while Guoba next to her smiled.

Uncle Tian then subtly inquired about Fang Qiu's affairs.

These days, he comes to Wanmintang every day, hoping to bump into Fang Qiu and have a good chat with him.

As a result, even though he's practically living in Wanmintang, he hasn't run into Fang Qiu even once in all these days...

That's why he couldn't help but ask.

When he learned that Fang Qiu had gone to the Layered Rock Abyss these days, he almost spat out the mouthful of food he had just eaten.

After coughing twice, he forced himself to swallow the food.

"She went to the Abyss of Layered Rocks?"

Uncle Tian's eyes widened.

"Yes, she went with the travelers."

Xiangling nodded and said with a smile, "Before leaving, I also gave her some beef jerky that I made."

"Oh... I see. Did she say when she would be back?"

Uncle Tian's expression froze for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm... she didn't seem to mention that. Uncle Tian, ​​is there something you need from her?"

Xiangling thought for a moment, but Fang Qiu didn't seem to have said when he would be back.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Uncle Tian waved his hand and continued eating.

Since that's the case, then I won't come tonight.

Come back in a few days.

It just so happens that Zhiyi is bringing over fish soup tonight.

At this time.

Fang Qiu and Yun Jin walked along the bustling street.

Looking at the bustling streets around him, Fang Qiu gradually composed himself.

However, as Fang Qiu passed by a teahouse, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Ok?

It's him?

Why is he in Liyue?

Upon seeing the tall, burly young man with two horns on his head inside the teahouse, Fang Qiu was slightly taken aback.

The troublemaker who was fishing with explosives on the beach and was captured by the Tengu General, the magistrate of Inazuma Tenryo.

He was having a duel with someone in the teahouse.

"Hahahaha, so what if you only have one drop of blood left? I, Diao Chan, ride Red Hare, wield the Bagua Formation in one hand and the Fangtian Halberd in the other, and I also have a peach and a Flash. You think you can kill me instantly? If you can kill me, Huanglong Yidou, I'll eat this tea table right here and now!"

Araki Ichito laughed loudly, but his smile froze after he finished speaking.

Then Fang Qiu heard Arataki Ichito's incredulous voice say, "How is this possible? How could you possibly have two Duels and one Southern Barbarian Invasion?"

"Brother, what did you just say?"

The young man sitting opposite him laughed out loud.

Just when Fang Qiu thought the young man would give an awkward smile and brush it off,

After all, who actually eats the table?

Then Fang Qiu saw the burly man start gnawing on the table...

Fang Qiu stopped in her tracks, her mouth agape in shock.

The young man sitting opposite him, who had been joking around, was so frightened that he quickly spoke up to stop him...

If someone dies from eating this, he'll be in big trouble.

Even the two Thousand Rock Army soldiers patrolling nearby rushed over.

"Fang Qiu, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Fang Qiu stop, Yun Jin couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's nothing, let's go."

Fang Qiu shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.

All the emotions I had painstakingly cultivated were gone...

They walked home and quickly got straight to the point.

"let us start."

Sitting on the corridor in the courtyard, Yun Jin said this.

"Ah."

Fang Qiu nodded, then gently closed her eyes, gathering her emotions.

That pile of stones standing in the deep abyss of rock...

And those lovely people from my past life...

Quiet.

Quiet.

Yun Jin sat to the side, watching Fang Qiu's serene profile, waiting quietly.

The wind brushed against her cheeks, and her hair fluttered gently.

After a long while, Fang Qiu gently opened her eyes, her gaze deep and unfocused.

Then, Fang Qiu spoke softly.

"That year, you were the same age as me, as young as a naive song. But in order to create that new world in your dreams, you turned around and hurriedly walked into the storm. I saw thousands of lovely you, rushing into the depths of the smoke of war without looking back."

A gentle, warm, yet slightly melancholic song rang out in the courtyard.

"How many youthful figures disappeared into the night, only to be replaced by the dawn..."

Looking at Fang Qiu, whose eyes were filled with reminiscence, Yun Jin seemed to see those young Qianyan soldiers who, in the wind and rain, bid farewell to their families and resolutely rushed to the battlefield. In the end, they fell one by one in the night, exchanging their lives for the dawn...

But they remained forever in the darkness, never to see the breathtaking beauty of sunlight bathing the earth...

"I look up at the starry sky you once saw, and we meet again across a century... You said you never regretted dedicating your life to this vast land... I long to gently reach out and embrace you, to tell you that everything has settled down, I look up at the starry sky you once saw, and the earth beneath my feet has changed with time..."

Fang Qiu sang softly, and she changed some of the words to Li Yue's.
