According to Long Zhou, Ying and Xiao Paimeng found the location of the beast head. As soon as they approached, they heard complaints: "Really? We agreed that whoever loses will buy breakfast next time. Look how angry you are.

Don't be sad, you can buy me a drink and I'll pay for it."

"Then it's just like usual! How can this be, Jiaming?" Another voice felt that something was wrong and retorted, "It's not that I can't stand losing. Alas, I just... I just didn't expect you to come back in that way!"

Ying looked in the direction of the voice and saw two figures, one tall and one short. The one who had just spoken was the tall man, and the slightly shorter man standing opposite him must be Jiaming.

As she was observing, Jiaming smiled and waved his hand: "It's a piece of cake. Playing this is as easy as eating lettuce."

Little Paimon also recognized this person and said happily, "Great, Jiaming is here."

After saying that, she came over and said, "Excuse me, Jiaming! Just now, someone from Hutchison Hall asked you to deliver something to Yilongbu..."

"Oh! Brother Longzhou?" Jiaming immediately realized who had commissioned him. He clasped his fists to the man in front of him apologetically and said, "I have work to do. I'll leave first."

"Go and do your work." The man waved his hand, not intending to delay Jiaming's work. "When you come back, we'll play again when we have time. I won't let you win next time."

After saying goodbye to his friends briefly, Jiaming walked up to Ying and Paimeng in a very familiar manner and said, "Okay, bring all the things to me. Is it heavy to transport them all the way here? I'll pack it, I'll pack it."

"It's okay. They are just materials for making kites. It's only a few steps away." Paimeng spoke without any pain in her waist. After all, it was Ying who moved them here, so she didn't need to do anything.

Jiaming packed the package carefully, tied a rope around his back, and put some effort into carrying it on his back: "Kite... I understand." He looked at Ying and Paimeng again, and obviously recognized them, "Paimeng is so polite, I must thank you very much.

You are Ying, right? Hello! Thank you for your enthusiasm too!"

"Eh? So you know us?" Paimon realized this belatedly.

Jiaming chuckled and said as a matter of course: "There are few people in Liyue who don't know you, right? I've heard a lot of people talk about you, you are quite famous!

If Brother Longzhou didn't have time to thank you, don't take it personally! I'll say it for you. He's a very nice guy, but he's been really busy these past few days. He's been running around on the road... Please bear with me, hehe."

"It's okay, it's just a small favor." Ying responded with a smile.

With Ying's response, Jiaming relaxed a lot, found a direction, and said as he walked: "Have you been to the Lantern Festival this time?"

"Yes, this time of year is the most lively. We also said that we wanted to go to Yilongbu with you to take a look." Paimeng and Ying also followed, and Paimeng replied to Jiaming's words.

Hearing this, Jiaming became excited: "Then let's go together! I know the road very well, I will lead the way, and I won't let you take any detours. I can tell stories, jokes, and chat to relieve boredom!

Oh, yes, there are several restaurants along the way, all of which are good restaurants that I often go to. Let’s eat together when it’s time to eat? The ingredients are fresh, the materials are sufficient, the quality is good and the price is low. I guarantee that whatever you order will be delicious. ”

"It's guaranteed to be delicious..." Paimon fell into reverie.

Seeing her friend like this, Ying shook her head helplessly: "Paimon's saliva is about to drip."

"Huh? It's very rude to reveal my shortcomings in front of new friends!" Paimon immediately wiped his saliva with an indignant look on his face.

Jiaming chuckled and tried to comfort her: "It's okay, I understand, I understand, this shows that we have a good relationship. My brother and I also joke around like this."

The three of them set off on the road with a lot of noise. The boy was heroic and the girl was pretty, forming a beautiful scenery that attracted passers-by to look back frequently.

It's a long way from Liyue Harbor to Yilongbu. Due to the recent opening of the track patrol ship, there are fewer passers-by in the wilderness, which directly leads to the unemployment of the treasure-stealing group.

It’s like everyone is taking a plane, so if you’re a bandit, aren’t you just waiting to starve to death?

In this way, the safety of passers-by is indeed guaranteed, but the pressure on the escorts increases dramatically.

Since there were no passers-by to rob, the treasure-stealing group had no choice but to confront the strong escorts and other people who were not easy to deal with.

After repelling another wave of attacks by the treasure thieves, Paimeng was a little annoyed: "Oh, it's hard to guard against. There are treasure thieves everywhere..."

As we all know, there are three specialties on the continent of Teyvat: sweet flowers, mint, and treasure stealing groups.

If you want to find a place without these three things, you probably can only go to extreme climate areas and some secret areas.

"It's common to encounter robbers while transporting goods, that's why we are needed as escorts." Jiaming has long been accustomed to it.

Paimeng looked at Jiaming with some appreciation: "I see your movements are quite good, very professional?"

Ying also nodded. She also realized that Jiaming's skills were amazing.

Jiaming naturally knew what they were talking about, and laughed, "This has nothing to do with the profession of escort, it's just my own hobby.

Have you ever heard of animal dance?"

“I’ve heard a little about it, but don’t know much about it.” Ying had heard of this thing. It can be regarded as a kind of traditional culture of Liyue, but like other cultures, it is in a relatively niche situation and has not been thoroughly developed.

Hearing her answer, Jiaming was a little bit unconvinced: "No way? The beast dance is still very famous in the Chenyu Valley area!

Whenever a store opens or a family wants to have a good omen during a festival, they will invite people to perform. "

As he spoke, he sighed again, his eyes full of helplessness: “Well, it can’t be compared with the Liyue drama.

I know myself that not many people in Liyue Harbor are willing to watch the beast dance show... I can only treat it as a side job."

"Ah? You still have a side job? Jiaming, are you in such good spirits?" Paimeng was shocked. Life is already tiring enough, how can someone have several jobs?

Jiaming didn't think it was a big deal. He put his hands on his hips and said as if it was a matter of course: "I'm not tired. Can't I just take a rest?"

It was like saying that it only takes three steps to put an elephant in a refrigerator.

Paimon quickly found a reason for him: "I understand. Do you sleep until you wake up naturally every day?"

If this is the case, it is understandable. As long as there is enough rest time, there is no problem in doing more work.

Unexpectedly, Jiaming shook his head and said, "No, I played cards all night last night."

"Uh..." Paimon and Ying looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

They began to suspect whether Jiaming was the reincarnation of some demon god, or even an immortal.

But then they thought about Saphir's state when he woke up every day, and suddenly felt that immortals and demons were actually not much different from humans. They also sleep and get grumpy when they wake up.

But this is their misunderstanding. Saphir sleeps not because she needs to sleep, but because she wants to sleep. Life is hard enough, and staying up late every day without rest will affect her mood, right?

Without some adjustment, people will become depressed. Sleeping, eating, and getting angry are the ways that Safir adjusts his mood. He makes himself no different from ordinary people, and his mood becomes much more cheerful.

Jiaming didn't think too much about it, but urged: "Let's go, the pier is just ahead, follow closely."

After that, the group continued to move forward and soon arrived at a pier in Chenyu Valley.

Although both are docks, the dock at Chenyu Valley is very different from that at Liyue Harbor.

Liyue Harbor is a commercial port. It is very large and has an amazing throughput. There are countless ships passing by every day, so it is very spectacular.

The dock on the Chenyu Valley side is actually a civilian dock, so it is naturally much smaller in scale, and there are no passing ships.

Because Chenyu Valley belongs to the Liyue area, and Yilong Port is in the northernmost part and connected to the Fontainebleau Sea, the waterway from Liyue to Yilong Port is a freshwater waterway. Both the width and depth of the waterway are very average and do not meet the conditions for commercial ships to travel.

So, there are only some bamboo rafts by the dock here.

This is also a team of boatmen, or it would be more appropriate to call them ferrymen, who organized themselves to make a living.

They would paddle their bamboo rafts here and wait for passing passengers, give them a ride and charge some commission.

Jiaming was very familiar with this. He walked up and talked to the ferryman, then quickly asked Ying and little Paimeng to get on the bamboo raft.

As the bamboo raft travels, there is a gentle breeze and the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers in the pond and the scent of grass and trees on the shore. This is the unique environment and landscape of Chenyu Valley that makes people linger.

Unfortunately, Paimon was not someone who would focus on the scenery. She let out a long sigh: "Finally! I can calm down and take a rest. My shoulders are so stiff, and my stomach is so empty..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm in such a hurry. Didn't you say you were traveling?" Jiaming apologized repeatedly, but he was a little confused. Didn't Paimeng say he was traveling? Couldn't he bear this little bit of hardship?

Paimeng thought without hesitation: "That's because there are too many roads in Liyue Mountain, and flying is too tiring! My stomach, which was finally full, is going to be starved again..."

The little guy's purpose is already obvious. If Saphir were here, he would probably have taught him a lesson.

Unfortunately, Jiaming didn't know the little guy's temperament very well. In addition, he was a gentle and considerate person, so he was immediately fooled. He took out a bag of snacks: "Winter Pastry, do you want some? They are bought from the store, not made by me."

"Yes! Bring as many as you can!" Paimeng achieved his goal and smiled brightly.

She said, how could she not be able to trick people into eating when she was so cute? There were only a few people like Safir. Most people were like Jiaming, considerate and caring.

"No way, are you so greedy? When you're full and can't eat anymore, you'll throw it at me." Jiaming looked at Paimeng with hesitation in his eyes.

Paimon immediately began to prove his appetite: "I was born to be able to eat! Just like... just like you are born with good spirits, you don't feel tired no matter how much you walk or how much work you do."

"Now I understand. Come on, Paimon, give some to Ying, too." Jiaming immediately understood what Paimon meant, stood up and started to share the Dong Rong Su in his hand.

After giving them to Ying and Paimeng, he took out some more and put them in a basket beside him. He said to the ferryman who was rowing the boat, "Bo Subo, this is a gift for you. Put it beside me."

The old man called Bo Su immediately smiled and nodded, accepting Jiaming's kindness.

Ying looked at him like this and analyzed in her heart that Jiaming was popular and could talk to anyone and treated everyone like a friend.

It was just a brief contact, but Jiaming had already left a fixed impression in Ying's heart.

While Ying was still analyzing, Paimon had already devoured the snack in his hand in a few gulps: "Ah, so sweet and fragrant, I'm resurrected!"

Seeing the little guy looking like he had been saved, Jiaming couldn't help laughing: "Is it that exaggerated?

I have been eating Dong Rong Su since I was a child. From street stalls to big restaurants in the city, many places make it, but the taste of each one is slightly different. "

This is normal. Dim sum is most concerned with ingredients and cooking time. A slight difference in ingredients will result in a huge difference in flavor, and a slight change in cooking time will also result in a huge difference in taste.

If you think about it this way, it is only natural that different shops would make dim sum with different flavors.

"If you like it, I'll check when I get back and write down the store address for you." Jiaming didn't understand. He only knew that as long as Paimeng liked it, it was fine. All he had to do was to allow the other party to buy the same snacks.

Along the way, Ying spoke the least and basically just listened. Paimeng would chat with Jiaming for a few words, but he was not as good at speaking as Jiaming, so he spent more time listening to Jiaming.

As if he noticed this, Jiaming said apologetically: "Am I talking too much and disturbing you from enjoying the scenery quietly? If you think I'm noisy, just tell me directly. Don't be embarrassed. It doesn't matter."

He really did, Paimon cried to death.

"It's okay! It's quite interesting to hear you talking like beating a drum." Paimon also joked.

Jiaming naturally sensed the teasing in the other person's words, and immediately crossed his arms over his chest, chuckled, and said, "Paimeng feels better once he's full?"

"That's not the reason!" Paimon refused to admit it. This would make her look greedy, although she was just that greedy.

Because of Paimeng and Jiaming's chattering, Ying felt that this journey was a lot more lively, and she really liked this atmosphere.

Leaning on the chair woven on the bamboo raft, Ying squinted her eyes slightly and recalled her trip to Teyvat.

The journey began on the day she woke up. Long before, she came to this world with her brother, and when they were about to leave, they encountered a god who blocked their way.

The gods took her brother away, sealed her, and put her into a deep sleep. No one knew how many years had passed since she slept.

When she woke up, the world was different. Her brother was not around and she was alone.

But life had to go on, so she began a journey alone without a purpose. It was lonely, but still relaxing. Finally, during one fishing trip, she caught a strange little creature. It was with the company of that little creature that she began a well-organized two-person trip.

The trip lasted for many days, almost a month? Or even longer, until the day finally came when she met the girl she could trust unconditionally.

The words the girl said when she first met her still echoed in her ears very clearly: You guys are in trouble.

But Ying knew that what was contained in those words was not blame or rebuke, but a kind of indescribable intimacy that made her want to get close to him.

Meeting someone for the first time gave her a sense of intimacy, as if someone walking in the dark had seen a beam of light. She couldn't help but want to reach out her hand, get closer, and closer...

"We've arrived at Yilongbu, huh? Is Ying... asleep?"
