Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

Everyone talked and laughed and made dinner together. After a delicious meal, Zhongli went out for a stroll again, while Hutao stayed behind to help Link organize various things at home.

"Alin, after the baby is born, you should consider moving to a bigger house. Now that the house prices in Liyue have begun to fall, you can buy one." Hutao took out the strange medicinal materials from the bag one by one, wondering. I looked at them carefully, and after thinking about it, I displayed them one by one on the table and classified them according to varieties.

Zhongli...could he have been deceived by his friends? Why are these medicinal materials getting weirder and weirder the more I look at them, and they look so ugly...

"Hmm... I have this idea too." Link nodded. The second floor of the Hall of Rebirth is about the same for two people, but it seems too small for three people. When the baby grows up and does not want to live with his parents, he will have to arrange a separate room.

"Now that the house is smaller, it will be easier for me to clean it, and I can take care of both work and home."

"That's what I say, but in the future, it's best to find a quiet place for your baby to go to school and study. The commercial street is still a bit too noisy and easily distracted."

Link nodded thoughtfully. The commercial street was indeed very noisy at night. Funina had slept peacefully before, but it was actually Link who used aquatic magic to weaken her hearing.

"Lord Master, I'll give this card back to you." Link took out the card Hu Tao gave him from his pocket and handed it to Hu Tao.

"You can keep it, there will be money to spend in the future." Hutao waved his hand and did not take it, "Have you gone to Bubulu today? What did Dr. Bai Zhu say?"

"I've seen it. Doctor Atractylodes said there's no big problem, so he prepared a few tonics."

"That's good." Hutao breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the medical expenses? How much did they cost?"

"More than 900 were gone, less than 1,000."

Hutao rubbed his slightly sore arm, "The price is quite reasonable. Baizhu is a doctor, but he is also a great businessman, and his business is very large. Generally speaking, if patients are not in financial difficulties, Baizhu You won’t charge more, but you won’t charge less either.”

"This is why people don't worry about scarcity but about inequality."

Link didn't think there was anything wrong. Now in the eyes of many people, a real doctor should help the world and not make money from patients. But if he does not make money from patients, how should the doctor himself live? This is just like doing business, as long as the price is fair, don't rip off customers.

"More than nine hundred, less than a thousand... Then it's probably just like Dr. Bai Zhu said, it's ordinary malnutrition." Hu Tao put the classified medicinal materials into different small bags.

"..." Link was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of something.

"Master, is there any case where Dr. Baizhu refuses to charge money from patients?"

"I don't have the impression that even if you meet a very poor patient, Doctor Baizhu will more or less accept it symbolically, but there is an unwritten rule here in Liyue." Hu Tao touched his chin with one hand, Liu Mei frowned. Slightly wrinkled.

"What rules?"

"If the patient is terminally ill and the hospital is unable to save the patient, it will not charge extra money."

………………

The smile on the man's face stiffened instantly.

"Master, please stay with Fufu for a while. I have something to do and I have to go out."

"Ah? This...this is no problem, but it's too early now. Why do you want to go out suddenly, Alin?"

"I just remembered something and I'm a little anxious. I'll trouble the hall master tonight." Link looked heavy, grabbed a coat and put it on his body, and hurried out the door.

………………

The starry field is empty and the moon hangs high. The man rides on the night sky, and the figure flies through the streets and lanes of Liyue like a ghost. He leaps tens of meters with one step, just like an arrow that will not look back after being fired.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Link crossed most of Liyue Port and arrived directly at the location of Bubu Lu.

Under the night, the interior of the window lattice of Bubu Lu is brightly lit, like a huge gourd glowing on the dark steps, quietly waiting for explorers who can climb here.

The man tiptoed, and his slender figure drew an arc on the stone road and stopped steadily.

A few steps forward, Link knocked politely three times on Bubulu's door, then stood in front of the door and waited. After hearing the man's weak promise, he raised his hand and pushed open the ancient wooden door. …

At the front desk where the young man was originally on duty, Baizhu was wearing a white fur coat. The medical books he had opened had been piled up into a "hill", and behind the "hill", a pale little girl was dizzy. Lying on the table, he snored slightly from time to time, looking extremely cute.

Link saw Bai Shu looking like he was waiting for his visit, and was about to say something, but Bai Shu took the lead and put a finger in front of his lips, making a silencing gesture.

"Mr. Lin, can you help me carry Qiqi back to the back room first?"

The pale man has a handsome face, but his breath is much weaker than that of ordinary people, and his voice is gentle and delicate, with a hint of endearment.

"........."

Link nodded and followed Bai Zhu's instructions. He carefully picked up the girl's slightly stiff body and carried her to a soft cushion in Bubulu's room. He took another blanket and gently covered it with her. On the girl's body as cold as a corpse...

For a moment, Link's brows furrowed deeply, and he faintly sensed something indescribably strange about this girl.

The girl's body seemed to be too cold, and this coldness was different from the coldness exerted by the ice element, carrying a "stinky smell" that no living thing had.

This "stinky smell" gave Link a nauseating feeling in his body, but it also gave him an inexplicable sadness and desolation.

"Mr. Lin, let Qiqi sleep for a while. I think you have something to ask me. I also have something to ask you. Let's talk outside."

Bai Shu's voice came from outside the house. Link hesitated for a moment, then ignored the girl on the cushion and went directly to the hall where Bai Shu was.

Link knew that there must be some secret hidden in this girl named "Qiqi", but for the "selfish" Link, Funina's priority was far higher than anything else.

Bai Shu did not ask Link to sit down, but opened the cabinet for collecting money at the front desk, took out a Mora bag that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to Link.

"...Mr. Bai, what do you mean?"

"Count it, Mr. Lin. There are nine hundred and sixty moras in it, or...should I call you Mr. Link?"

Bai Shu gently stroked the white snake on his neck, which seemed to be sleeping with its eyes closed, "The peerless figure who single-handedly rewrote the history of Fengdan actually retired to Liyue and became a guest in the small hall of the dead... It's really disappointing. People feel incredible.”

"Mr. Bai... none of this is important anymore. All I want to know now is, how is my wife's health? Can she give birth to the baby smoothly?"

Link clenched his fists and once again forced himself to calm down, but even so, there was still an unspeakable tension in his voice.
