Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

Seeing Wendy staring blankly at the water, Zhongli washed his hands and turned around to leave.

Wendy immediately came back to her senses, and ran after him with the seafood again and stopped in front of him: "Wait a minute! Let's play the piano together, or drink together, or I can read a few poems to you and listen to my stories! You go on? Try to think about it!”

Looking at Wendy's repeated entanglement, Zhongli couldn't hide the annoyance in his eyes.

But at this moment, his expression changed. Looking behind Wendy, the irritability in his eyes suddenly turned into sadness.

"Hey! Boy! Today is the festival, it's time to pay back the money!" A rude man's voice sounded.

Wendy turned around and saw more than a dozen burly men holding hoes, which looked very similar to those ruffians in Inazuma's light novels who maliciously borrow money and then violently collect debts.

So, the new identity assigned to the God of Contract is actually a person who owes debts and refuses to repay them?

If Zhongli wakes up and finds out about this, I don't know how angry he will be.

But now, Wendy is more angry. He never likes to be interrupted.

He turned his head and said coldly: "Who are you?"

"Haha, you little potato looks so arrogant! Let me tell you, now is our time! Get out of here!" the leading man said arrogantly.

"Get out?" Wendy put the seafood she was holding at Zhongli's feet, then crossed her arms and looked at the group of gangster-like guys in front of her: "Now is the time for me to chat with this gentleman. I advise If you want a debt, wait a little, otherwise it’s not sure who should get out.”

"Ha! He's still a threatening potato! Let me tell you, besides Inari God, I am the most..."

Before he finished speaking, Wendy picked up a shell from the bucket of seafood and threw it at the man.

The wind god's hands were naturally accurate, and he used his divine power with great force. The shell hit the man directly on the head, knocking him to the ground and a big bump immediately appeared on his forehead.

"You...you!" The man touched the big bump on his head, his face full of anger.

And Wendy was in a good mood when she saw him like this, and a smile appeared on her face.

The man was so angry that he yelled: "Here! Make this potato mashed!"

After saying that, everyone came towards Wendy with the farm tools in their hands.

"Hmph! Let's see who is the real mashed potato!" Wendy said, turning around and trying to snatch Zhongli's hoe to use as a weapon.

Unexpectedly, Zhongli suddenly dropped his hoe, picked up the bucket next to him, grabbed Wendy's wrist and turned around to run away.

They ran all the way into the jungle, and the group of people kept chasing behind them.

"Hey, brother, although you have forgotten, I want to tell you not to worry. They are not enough for me to fight. Although my fighting power is not as good as yours before, I can still capture these guys."

Wendy said to him while letting him pull her away.

For a guy like Wendy who can be carried by the wind and never walk on her own feet, today was another day of diving for fish and three to five minutes of running, which was already the limit.

At this moment, he would rather fight with the group of people behind him than continue running wildly.

Unexpectedly, Zhongli didn't answer him, but pulled him and continued running forward.

Just when Wendy thought she would run away forever, Zhongli suddenly pulled him into a cave nearby, and then made a silencing gesture in front of him.

Those people searched around outside but failed to find them. They stayed here for a short while and then left.

After they left, Zhongli also breathed a sigh of relief and returned the seafood bucket he was carrying to Wendy.

Wendy took it and looked helplessly at the sky outside the cave. It was getting late now, and he might not be able to wake up Zhongli before the fog rose.

For a moment, he felt a little depressed, and then he looked at the person in front of him and said, "Hey, why can't you scream in fear when you see a big octopus?"

Such words stimulated him enough, and he might think of something.

"Although I don't like seafood, I won't scream in fear." Zhongli said calmly.

Hearing this, Wendy was very helpless and complained quietly in her heart: "Morax, Morax, you just opened your mouth and didn't tell the truth, you really cheated me!"

However, although he was complaining in his heart, his expression remained calm.

"Um...thank you today." Zhongli lowered his head and said awkwardly.

"Huh? Why are you thanking me?" Wendy raised her head in confusion.

"Those people were my father's creditors. My father was a gambler and owed a lot of debt. After he abandoned me and my mother and ran away, it was my mother and I who repaid these debts.

My mother worked hard day and night to pay off her debts, and she died early. So, they would come here once a week to remind me. If it weren't for you today, I would have been beaten again. "

Hearing this, Wendy felt a little sad. She didn't expect that this old man's new identity on this island would be so miserable!

But then I thought about it, and it seemed that everyone was pretty miserable just like Lian Zu.

"If you can remember, you won't have to go through these things," Wendy sat helplessly on a stone nearby, looking down at the cloth bandaging her hand, "Oh, I miss you a little. "

Regarding his words, Zhongli, whose memory was occupied at this moment, was still in a state where he clearly understood every word, but could not understand it.

Wendy looked at his confused look and waved her hand helplessly: "Forget it, it's getting late. I'll come back to you tomorrow. Now, I have to find a place to hide."

Otherwise, if the fog comes up again, and if he faints in the fog for no reason like yesterday, it will be troublesome to assign him an identity.

With that said, Wendy walked back with the bucket.

At this time, he realized that this is a world that is constantly being reconstructed. Tomorrow, Zhongli may not have this identity, and even if he still has this identity, he may not remember himself after reconstruction.

As she thought about it, Wendy stood there and let out a long sigh of relief. This plot was like a fairy tale in which the protagonist keeps looping and then remembers everything and gets to know a friend who is trapped in the loop once a day.

"Will you come to me again tomorrow?" Zhongli looked at him in surprise.

Wendy turned around. Although she was upset, she still raised a smile: "Of course! But you may not remember me tomorrow."

"Well...although I don't understand what you said, since you helped me today, I won't forget you tomorrow." Zhongli said following him.

"It's okay if you forget. When you wake up, with your temper, you'll probably come to me to apologize." Wendy looked at the confused man in front of her with a smile.

Because his memory had been tampered with, Zhongli didn't act like an old man at this moment. He was just like an ordinary young man, chatting with Wendy all the way to the village.

Wendy also tried taking him into the house guarded by the fox, but just like Lian Zhu couldn't open Ziling's Qiankun Bag, Zhongli in front of him couldn't enter the house either.

When Wendy stayed with him and looked inside the house, she saw that it was full of clutter and there was no place to stand.

But when the distance between them increases, the house will become what it was when they left it.

Of course, people at the festival won't notice the changes in the house.

Presumably it is also to prevent people who do not belong to the outside world from passing through this passage.

In the end, Wendy could only send him home, and after repeatedly asking him not to go out, Wendy immediately walked to the house.

He failed to wake up Zhongli, and he felt a little depressed after all. Now he could only hope that when he entered the house, he would see Yuyu Qianyo and Huzhai Palace sitting together, which would give him some comfort.

However, when he opened the door, what he saw was Hu Zhaigong sitting on the bed on the other side of the screen with a depressed face. The moment he looked at Wendy, she sighed heavily.
