Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

"Are you okay? Did your head hurt?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It would be better if you were willing to pay for the medical expenses."

Wu Ye teased with a smile.

Miss Keqing, we meet again, he thought silently in his heart.

"Really? This is blackmail. Believe it or not, I'll call Yan Fei to catch you."

Ke Qing put away her concerned expression and then gave a serious warning.

As for Liyue Zhang San, she wouldn't have just said, "Do you know you broke the law?!"

Wu Ye imagined this scene, and Keqing noticed the scattered papers on the ground, and then quickly bent down to pick them up.

"Are these your new poems?"

Ke Qing picked up all the manuscripts and handed them to Wu Ye with both hands.

"No, it's a novel I wrote."

"Novel? Is it similar to the book "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords" written by Teacher Zhenyu?"

Teacher Zhenyu? Oh, isn’t it Xingqiu?

Wu Ye didn't pay attention to the content of the book "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords" when he was playing the game. He only knew that this book was not popular in Liyue.

At that time, Xingqiu did not believe in evil, and secretly put his own books on the bookshelf of Wanwen Collection. Then he found that no one really liked reading them, but "The Record of Shen Qiu Shijian" was unexpectedly well received in Daozhu. .

"Well, that should be it."

Wu Ye nodded and responded with a smile.

"You want to send it to Yamoxuan for submission and printing, right? I happen to be there to deal with important matters, let's go together."

When Ke Qing extended the invitation, Wu Ye had no reason to refuse, so he didn't have to figure out where Yamoxuan's location was by himself.

What's more, a pretty and beautiful girl offered to accompany him, and he couldn't refuse her at all.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards the south of Liyue Port. On the way, Ke Qing asked if she could take a look at the content of the novel written by Wu Ye. Wu Ye agreed boldly with a wave of his hand.

……

The protagonist is named Bai. When he was born, he was treated as a monster by his family because he had white hair all over his body and was thrown into the stream of Guiliyuan in a wooden basin, leaving him to fend for himself.

The wooden basin floated to the stream bank below with the current. An old woman happened to be pounding clothes on the bank. When she heard the baby's cry, she hurried over to check it out. She was shocked when she found it nearby.

A little monster covered in white fur?

In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and carefully picked up the wooden basin and walked home.

The old man in the family was a famous hunter in the village. He was frightened when he saw the baby, but he still chose to adopt him.

They thought this was a gift from God to their childless couple and named him Bai.

Except for his special body, Bai is just like ordinary children. He grows up slowly over time from babbling to toddler.

However, the children in the village did not dare to get along with Bai. They would even throw stones from a distance and call him a little monster.

Bai didn't care about this. He only cared about the old couple who worked hard to raise him.

The old couple taught him how to read and hunt. Bai's happiest moment was when he came back from hunting with the old man. The old woman had already prepared his favorite boiled black back bass at home.

The fish cooked by the old woman was so spicy and delicious that Bai could eat half a bowl by himself. The old couple looked at him lovingly and told him to eat slowly and be careful of the fish bones.

But life is never easy, and fate is unpredictable.

One day, Bai learned the skill of hunting and went out hunting alone to hunt down a small wild boar.

It took him a long time to catch it, and Bai happily carried the wild boar back.

When he returned to the village, the sun was setting and the village was dyed red, dyed red with blood.

Bai's mind went blank at that moment, and then he dropped the prey on his body and ran home like crazy with red eyes.

There were mangled corpses along the way, including those who had thrown stones at him with malicious intent.

At this moment, Bai wanted them to stand up again and throw stones at him.

The door to the house was closed, but blood was flowing down the steps.

Bai became very timid. He didn't even dare to open the door. He was very scared. He was very afraid that the scene inside would be the same as what he thought in his mind.

Bai's body was shaking constantly, and his eyes shed tears unconsciously. He slowly walked towards the door, before he stretched out his hand.

Click! The door was opened from the inside.

Before Bai could turn his sorrow into joy, a strange and pitiful voice sounded in front of him.

"Sorry, I was late. This village was attacked by an inhumane monster. By the time I arrived...it had already bloodbathed the entire village. I severely injured it, but I couldn't keep it. it."

An old man with injuries all over his body walked out of the door, his face full of grief.

"My child, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

After that, he gave way, but Bai didn't answer. He walked into the room in a daze.

The window sill in the room was tightly closed, and the furniture was messy due to signs of fighting. The usually gentle old woman fell on the floor next to the table, her eyes wide open due to fear. Following the direction of her gaze, it was the old man. The old man's body was still holding the steel fork used for hunting in his hand. The steel fork was stained with blood. His upper body was leaning on the table leg and his eyes were staring in the direction of the door.

On the table is a pot of steaming boiled blackback bass.

Bai was stunned and speechless. He stared at all this blankly, neither crying nor screaming loudly.

After a long time, the uncle couldn't bear to watch anymore and sighed:

"Hey, kid, come with me. My name is Tu Tan. I will teach you martial arts and let you kill that beast yourself."

Bai seemed to have some reaction after hearing this. He walked over slowly, closed the old couple's staring eyes with his hands, and then walked outside the door alone, digging up the soil with his hands until his fingers were bloody and the blood was soaked in the soil. inside.

Halfway through, the uncle was also moved by Bai Jian's perseverance and took the initiative to help dig, but was pushed away by Bai forcefully.

At dawn, a medium-sized mud pit appeared. Bai staggered out of the room, carried the bodies of the old couple out of the room, buried them in the mud pit, and then filled them back with soil.

A simple tomb was born.

In the end, Bai Lijie fainted beside the tomb. The uncle reluctantly carried Bai on his back and left towards the rising sun, leaving a lonely tomb with no stone tablet and no name behind him.

……

Seeing Keqing returning the manuscript to him, Wu Ye asked curiously.

"Finished reading so quickly?"

"No, I don't want to see it."

"Ah, is my writing so bad?"

Wu Ye shuddered in his heart. What he had put so much effort into writing couldn't just be a piece of writing.

"Are you living a hard life?"

Ke Qing looked at Wu Ye seriously and asked.

"It's not bad. Although I didn't finish my last meal, I'm still hungry. Mainly because grandpa is here, I'm still quite happy."

Wu Ye looked into the distance. In the distance was the port of Liyue Port. What was on the port? Of course there are many boats.

"Then Bai was originally born in a miserable situation. He finally met an old couple who loved him. Why did he arrange such a heartbreaking plot in the follow-up?"

Wu Ye thought for a while, then slowly spoke to Ke Qing's serious gaze.

"Because this is the protagonist. If you want a person to grow up quickly, you must give him enough hardships. When someone is given a great responsibility from heaven, he must first work hard on his will and muscles. If this person cannot survive, then he can only If everyone can survive, the sea and the sky will be brighter, and you can reach the sky in one step."

"I don't agree with what you said."

"I don't need your approval."

……

"Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Wu Ye scratched his head and added apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care. Everyone has their own ideas, just like I always believe that society composed of humans should be managed by humans themselves."

Keqing lowered her head and quickly took a few steps forward, then turned around, raised her face and looked at Wu Ye with a smile.

"Since you have read the beginning, you have to know the ending. Can you please tell me the ending of this novel? That uncle Tu Tan is actually the murderer who slaughtered the entire village."

"That's right! Miss Keqing, you are very smart and discovered the blind spot." Wu Ye clapped his hands and praised, "Actually, Bai is the reincarnation of Bai Ze, so Bai was born with white hair. Oh! Maybe you don't know, this is It’s my own setting for the novel.”

"Bai Ze is an auspicious animal that can bring great good luck and longevity to people. However, this requires Bai Ze to grow for a period of time and then eat it to have this kind of blessing and longevity. Tutan happens to know this secret ."

"What follows is that Bai accidentally discovered the truth, and then after many twists and turns, he killed his enemy with his own hands."

"But in fact, it was Tu Tan who deliberately gave up to Bai in the duel. Tu Tan is a cruel and cruel person who likes to kill. Maybe he is tired of killing."

"In the end, I actually developed a family affection for Bai, and treated Bai as my son in my heart. Human beings, isn't it very complicated?"

Wu Ye smiled softly and continued to talk.

"In the end, Bai personally buried the man who had taken care of him for a long time. He returned to the village, paid homage to the tomb and added a stone tablet."

"The names of the old couple are engraved on the stone tablet, and then Bai leaves Guiliyuan to start a new chapter in life."

"Okay, I'm done."

Wu Ye observed Ke Qing's reaction and found that the other party was still immersed in what he just said, so he didn't want to disturb him, so he waited quietly.

After a moment, Keqing nodded and expressed her evaluation.

"A well-conceived novel with well-written characters."

Before Wu Ye responded humbly, Ke Qing continued.

"But people in Liyue may prefer to read high-spirited martial arts novels. Yours is a bit depressing..."

"Is that so?" Wu Ye rubbed his chin, "It doesn't matter. Let's go to Yamoxuan first and have a look. It should be there soon."

"Well," Keqing promptly reminded, "I'm going here, not that way."
