Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Hehe, I just guessed that the leader would say that, so I said it for him in advance."

Jiang Bai sat up, cleared his throat, and said in a serious tone:

"A poem just popped into my head, could you please give it your opinion, Master?"

Hu Tao tilted her head, ready to see what kind of poem this guy could recite, but then she saw Jiang Bai pull out a folding fan from somewhere, pretend to open it, and fan himself:

"One by one, two by three, four by five. Six, seven, eight by nine, the stars in the sky are countless."

walnut:"......."

The last time I was this speechless was the last time.

Walnut was speechless. Not only Walnut, but even the little ghost floating next to her looked speechless.

Is this supposed to be poetry? Even a child could write better poetry!

"If you can't write poetry, you can choose not to, instead of polluting my ears..." Hu Tao rubbed her ears, feeling that they had been polluted.

Jiang Baike didn't think her poems were bad at all, and proudly put her hands on her hips:

"Master, don't you think my poem is simple to understand, vivid, and easy to recite?"

Hu Tao patted his shoulder earnestly, speaking in a tone of concern for her intellectually disabled younger brother:

"Confidence is a good thing, but excessive confidence is not. If you lack culture, read more books. Don't go out and write poems carelessly, and if you do, don't say you're one of my men..."

It's too embarrassing; Hu Tao can't bear the shame.

"Is it really bad? I think it's great. One, two, three, and even shooting stars, so vivid and..." Jiang Bai suddenly stopped speaking, staring wide-eyed at the sudden meteor shower in the sky.

He quickly grabbed Hu Tao's hand, "There's a meteor shower! Master, make a wish!"

"It's just a meteor shower, what's there to wish for?" Hu Tao didn't quite understand why he suddenly got excited.

"Oh dear, Master, you don't understand. Meteor showers are so beautiful! Their fleeting beauty brings good luck and makes wishes come true!"

Jiang Bai placed her hands together, then closed her eyelids, urging, "Make a wish quickly!"

What else could Hu Tao do but grant the request?

She quietly opened her eyes and glanced at the guy next to her, then closed her eyes and made a wish.

Seeing Hu Tao begin to make a serious wish, Jiang Bai propped his head up and watched her.

Because she had washed her hair the night before, it was still a little damp, hanging down her back, waiting for the evening breeze to dry it slowly.

She wasn't wearing a hat; her dark brown hair fell softly over her shoulders, and the bright moonlight bathed her face, as if casting a hazy glow upon it.

She was making a wish with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, looking exceptionally serene.

As if sensing Jiang Bai's gaze, Hu Tao suddenly opened her eyes and met Jiang Bai's gaze.

Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat, but he turned his gaze away nonchalantly.

Hu Tao closed her eyes and continued to make the wish she hadn't finished. Jiang Bai leaned back, pressing his hands against the tiles for support, and looked up at the several brilliant stars that streaked across the night sky, drawing beautiful lines in the air.

What was originally a dreamy and beautiful scene, however, as Jiang Bai watched, he felt that there was something wrong with this meteor shower.

There were too many meteors, and they were too close together.

It gives you the feeling that it's about to hit you on the head any second.

He stood up and looked in the direction the meteor shower was falling, feeling that many of them had landed near Tianheng Mountain.

"What's wrong?" Hu Tao tilted her head as she saw him stand up after making her wish.

"It seems like the meteor shower has landed over Tianheng Mountain. Hall Master, shall we go take a look?"

"So close?"

Hu Tao was also somewhat surprised. She looked up at the sky and saw that the meteor shower had not yet ended, with intermittent meteors tracing arcs across the sky before falling to the ground.

"Although I've seen shooting stars several times, this is the first time I've ever seen a meteor shower like this." Hu Tao also stood up.

Although meteor showers are beautiful, when a large number of meteors fall to the ground, damaging houses, rice paddies, and crops, it can also bring disaster if not handled properly.

"Let's go take a look."

Although it's a bit late now, checking it out won't delay anything. I can always catch up on sleep tomorrow.

"Ah."

The two of them set off immediately, leaping off the roof and heading towards Tianheng Mountain.

On the way, Jiang Bai asked Hu Tao what she wished for, "Master, what did you wish for?"

Hu Tao held up a finger and waved it, "Wishes don't come true if you say them out loud."

Jiang Bai grabbed Hu Tao's hand and shook it, "Tell me, tell me! It's okay, it'll work if you say it, I promise..."

Hu Tao glanced at him but didn't pull her hand away. "You really want to know?"

Jiang Bai nodded his head vigorously, "Of course! This is the leader's wish! Of course I want to know!"

Seeing him like this, Hu Tao put her hands behind her back, adopting a capitalist's posture:

"I hope that Wangshengtang's performance will double this year..."

Upon hearing the word "performance," Jiang Bai's expression immediately turned distressed. "I will try my best..."

Seeing his expression, Hu Tao's lips subtly curled up.

This guy is so easy to fool.

She looked up at the sky; the meteor shower had stopped, and the sky had returned to its usual calm.

The chirping of insects could be heard from all around, and the summer evening breeze rippled the water, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers to the pond.

She walked along the mountain path at night with her hands behind her back, and Jiang Bai followed behind her dejectedly.

She turned her head and made a face at Jiang Bai.

She hoped that Jiang Xiaobai could remember his past and stay in the Hall of Rebirth forever, watching the sunrise and sunset together...

She hoped that life would continue to be this happy, and that everyone would be safe and sound...

She wished she could grow up a little longer...

Xu has a lot of wishes, but she will gradually make them come true.

Chapter 364 Young man, you're here too!

The two of them walked all the way to the mountainside of Tianheng Mountain. Standing on the mountainside, their view was much higher, and they could see the sparks that the meteor had set off on the ground after it fell.

"Some of them have fallen into Guili Plain!"

"Thankfully, Guili Plain is mostly ruins with few inhabitants, except for the Thousand Rock Army stationed near the trade route. There shouldn't be any major problems."

Hu Tao breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least she hadn't landed in a crowded area.

"I wonder what that shooting star looks like. Let's go take a look."

"Ah."

The Qianyan Army stationed at Guiliyuan had noticed the meteor long ago and went to check it immediately after it fell.

These meteors created holes in the ground as they crashed, and the impact of their high-speed fall even caused some smoke to rise from the meteorites.

Many blacksmiths use meteorites as one of the raw materials for weapons, so meteorites are not uncommon.

The two Thousand Rock soldiers on duty came to a nearby meteorite and carefully examined its shape and color.

The meteorite was a deep blue color and emitted a strange light.

One person tried to pick up the small piece of meteorite to examine it closely, but fainted the moment he touched it and collapsed to the ground.

The people nearby were shocked and rushed forward to check on him. After finding that he was just unconscious, they were temporarily relieved. They took their unconscious companion back to the camp and immediately reported to their superiors.

This meteor shower was quite large, not only in terms of the number of meteors but also in the wide range of places they fell to, not only in Guili Plains and Wangshu Inn, but he even saw many fall to Mondstadt.

We must immediately stop anyone from touching these meteorites to prevent more people from falling into a coma!

At the same time, it is necessary to report it immediately, find out why the meteorite caused the person to fall into a coma, and find a way to wake the person up.

The entire Thousand Rock Army camp sprang into action, with carrier pigeons and fast horses carrying messages rushing toward Liyue Harbor.

When Jiang Bai and Hu Tao arrived at Guili Plain, the meteorite that had landed there had already been cordoned off by the Qianyan Army with a warning line, and two soldiers were guarding it.

Before they could even get close, the Thousand Rock Army guards issued a warning:

"These meteorites contain a strange power that can knock people unconscious. Do not approach them!"

"A strange power? It can make people faint?" Hu Tao frowned. If that's the case, it's no small matter.

With such a large meteor shower, the falling meteors must have made quite a commotion. Many people may have touched these meteorites out of curiosity and fallen into a coma.

"Yes, the person who was checking has already fainted. Please do not approach until you figure out what that strange power is."

Hu Tao is a celebrity in Liyue Harbor, and most people in Liyue Harbor have seen her, including this Thousand Rock Army soldier, so she was not forcibly driven away.

"Could you please let us see the person who is unconscious?"

"Yes, inside the tent."

One Thousand Rock soldier was left to watch over the meteorites to prevent others from touching them, while another Thousand Rock soldier led the two men into the tent.

Two soldiers were already unconscious inside the tent; both had been affected by contact with the meteorite.

The number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers stationed at this camp was neither too many nor too few. Currently, most of the Thousand Rock Army soldiers have gone to check the situation along the road and at Wangshu Inn, so there are not many stationed there.

A soldier serving as a medic was examining the two Qianyan soldiers when Hu Tao and Jiang Bai curiously approached.

"How is the situation? Is it serious?" Jiang Bai asked.

The medic examined the two men's pupils and instinctively said, "They've just fallen into a coma, or more accurately, they're asleep, but no matter what I do, I can't wake them up..."

It may seem like just a simple coma, nothing serious, but if it drags on, without food or water, the person will quickly weaken in just three or four days. If it lasts for seven days, the person will die without food.

"That's a rather serious problem..."

"Yes, we need to figure out what the meteorite's power is before we can wake them up." The military doctor sighed; this was a problem only professionals could solve, and he was at a loss.

Leaving the tent, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao looked at each other with disapproval.

What should we do next?

They weren't good at handling this kind of problem either; the meteorite would knock someone unconscious upon contact, so it seemed like they couldn't do anything about it.

Hu Tao glanced at the sky; it was already past midnight. She could get a few more hours of sleep once she arrived at Wangshu Inn.

"Let's go check out Wangshu Inn and stay there for the night."

"Ah."

Along the way, Jiang Bai saw many meteorite craters, but the Qianyan Army had limited manpower and could not arrange for someone to guard each one.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and even the caravans had gone to bed early, so there was no need to worry that anyone might touch the meteorites and faint in this deserted place.

But just as Jiang Bai was thinking this, he saw a figure he had seen before squatting in front of a meteorite.

He quickly shouted, "Hey! Don't touch that meteorite! It's dangerous!"

The man turned around when he heard the words, and the veil on his hat brim swayed as he turned his head.

Upon seeing that face he had met once before, his eyelids drooped slightly.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao walked over quickly, finally looking down on the person in front of them.

Jiang Bai was somewhat surprised. "Oh, it's you."

"You know him?"

Hu Tao's gaze fell on the stragglers. Looking at their attire, they didn't seem to be from Liyue at all.

"Yes, I saw him in Mondstadt. Klee's bomb accidentally hit him."

"I see..."

Hu Tao immediately felt a little sympathy for this guy. Klee's bomb was a real bomb, not a toy. This guy must have suffered a lot back then.

"This meteorite is very dangerous. Anyone who has touched it has immediately fallen unconscious. You'd better not touch it," Jiang Bai kindly reminded him.

"Do you know what this is?" The soldier raised his head slightly, revealing his handsome face under the brim of his hat.

Jiang Bai shrugged. "It was a meteorite that fell from the sky, but I don't know exactly what it is. I just heard from Qianyan Army that someone fell unconscious after touching it and couldn't be woken up no matter what they did..."
