Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact

"The only chance to eat?" Paimon repeated in confusion.

"Old woman, you said that we will hold a wedding banquet again after the corpse has decayed. Then they will have something to eat. So what do they eat on weekdays?"

As Paimon spoke, the image of a rotting corpse appeared in his mind, and he immediately dry heaved in discomfort.

Jiraiya paused for a moment and continued, "In this Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, most people are malnourished and look hideous. Where do so many girls who look so normal come from?"

People have thought of many answers, some outrageous and some dark.

However, the old woman was stunned for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look: "Eat? Why do we usually eat?"

This answer was totally unexpected. Why do we need to eat? What kind of question is this?

"..." Jiraiya looked at the unrecognizable old woman. Even though he was eloquent, he was speechless for a long time. How should he answer such a question?

Instead, the old woman seemed to think for a long time before she said, "Yes, it seems that in the past, we had to eat to survive. As for now, we all have the blood of the sacred tree flowing in our veins, so we will never die.

As for those little girls, those crazy villagers always find ways to capture some pretty little girls, and they are all frozen in the sacrificial mansion in the city."

Jiraiya could not get any information about the blood of the sacred tree mentioned by the old woman. After all, the old woman was just an ordinary person living in this tragic world, so she naturally did not know too much. Many things still needed to be explored by herself.

Now many of the most important clues are probably in that sacrificial mansion.

But considering the current injuries, no matter how many doubts people have, they dare not act rashly.

He could only collapse exhaustedly in the cold little house, waiting for his injuries to get better before making further plans. Fortunately, the heater was raising the temperature little by little.

It would be great if I could reunite with Fischl, Eula and the others during this period.

The room was empty, and I didn't even know where to look. Only the flickering firelight flickered in the room from time to time, making everyone's shadows flicker.

The old lady seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of life. She just lay there on the wooden bed in a daze, not even moving a muscle. There was almost no sign that she was still alive.

Uku and the rescued girl, the two of them were like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, squatting on the left and right of the fire.

I don't know if they were looking into each other's eyes, or just staring at the fire together.

This situation is a bit like the classroom in the past. Sometimes the get out of class is over, but sometimes the whole class is silent and I am too embarrassed to speak.

Even Hu Tao, who couldn't sit still, could only follow the light with her plum blossom-like eyes and stare at the fire in boredom.

Finally, Master Hu couldn't stand the silence anymore. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't spoken to the little girl since he rescued her. He didn't even know her name.

"Um, little girl, what's your name?" Hu Tao asked in a low voice, and even she herself didn't know why she had to lower her voice.

"Lilia." The little girl was still staring at the fire, with an attitude of asking questions and answering them. She didn't look like she could have a good conversation at all.

Even though it was a little dull, that was Hu Tao, and it was a daily routine for Master Hu to get rejected.

So Walnut still said with a big smile on his face: "Oh! What a good name. By the way, how old are you this year?"

Lilia looked at Walnut in confusion and replied coldly, "I don't remember..."

"Oh, that's a pity. Where are you from?" Walnut was not embarrassed. But Paimon and the Traveler were really sweating. They couldn't stand the embarrassment any longer.

I feel like my toes are out of control. If this continues, I can dig out a Westwind Cathedral with my toes.

However, the girl did not seem to understand the embarrassment of the crowd. She continued to stare at the fire and said, "I don't remember..."

"..." I have to admit that Hu Tao can still chat with such enthusiasm in such a situation. She is really strong!

OS: Oh my god! Let the silence continue! Why are you talking?

"Well, Lilia. How did they catch you? And how long have you been here?" Hu Tao continued to ask enthusiastically.

But just as he finished asking the question, the traveler next to him quietly nudged Walnut with his elbow.

Such a question was obviously inappropriate and would easily bring back some painful memories for Lilia.

Forgetting is not always a bad thing.

However, Jiraiya looked at Kurumi meaningfully. Perhaps Kurumi was always promoting her unpopular Wangsei-do business at inappropriate times.

But this doesn't mean that Hu Tao doesn't understand human nature or the ways of the world. On the contrary, as she often organizes funerals, she should be more adept at this aspect.

Sure enough, following Walnut's question.

Lilia's face immediately darkened, and she trembled as she spoke, "There's a monster living in there, a terrible monster! Anyone who resisted it died, even my powerful brother died!"

Seeing Lilia in such a state, Hu Tao took her into her arms with concern and sang Liyue's nursery rhymes. The tones of the nursery rhymes were cheerful and simple.

It tells a simple story about a shepherd boy and a girl lying on a hillside counting stars. Nursery rhymes are not too complicated.

In the soothing nursery rhyme, Lilia suddenly burst into tears. It seemed that at this moment, she finally found her soul.

"Ah, she cried so sadly. It would be great if I could take Lilia out to see the stars." Paimon found that in this endless darkness, it seemed like a luxury to even want to see the stars.

Paimon just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that Uku, who had been staring at the fire in a daze, suddenly shouted to Paimon excitedly with shining eyes: "Stars! Big brother and big sister, have you seen the stars?!" Those eyes were brighter than the flickering fire.

"Yeah." Paimon replied in a daze. After all, stars were just commonplace to her.

But it made Uku even more excited.

The princess said, "The stars are hanging all over the head, like candle flames, sparkling and colorful, very beautiful."

Yes, the children who were unfortunate enough to be born in this ancient country would have never seen the sun, moon, and stars in their entire lives.

Jiraiya touched Uku's dirty head with some pity and said, "If we can get out alive, I will take Uku to see the stars. There is a moon a thousand times brighter than this candle, and a sun ten million times brighter. As long as they are here, the world will still be warm."
