Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

"Do you really have any news about Xiao Jiujiu?"

On the way to Wuwangpo, Master Chang Jiu, who was riding a horse following the Nan Dou Hu Tao siblings, suddenly felt something was wrong after he calmed down.

From the beginning to the end, Nan Dou never proved that he was the author of "Red Braised Pork is So Delicious", and few people knew that he wrote a novel.

But the other party not only knew it, but also knew all his information, which made him feel like it was a premeditated action.

"Who do you think gave me those pages?"

"An ordinary book page can still be basically intact after decades. Do you think it is possible if it has been soaking at the bottom of the river?"

Nan Dou had been dried before it was handed over to Master Chang Jiu, and he felt uncomfortable holding it because it was wet.

But Master Chang Jiu didn't know this, and because of his messy thoughts, he didn't even think about why the pages of the book felt warm to the touch.

"I'm sorry, I just doubted you..."

Nan Dou waved his hand without caring: "It's okay. Anyone who suddenly encounters such a thing will be suspicious."

"But there's one thing I hope you can do."

"What's the matter?" Master Chang Jiu suddenly became a little nervous. Generally speaking, asking like this would never be a good thing.

"After you meet Xiao Jiujiu, no matter what you see, don't be afraid, and don't run away, okay?"

Nan Dou's request made Chang Jiuye a little strange. As a novelist, his imagination quickly made him think of many possibilities.

It seemed that in the decades since they had been apart, something bad had happened to Xiao Jiujiu, and she had become disfigured, or had a mutilated body, or...had already married and appeared with her husband...

No matter which Chang Jiuye he is, he may not want to accept these, but he has no right to choose, and seeing Xiao Jiujiu again has long been his lifelong obsession.

If anyone is to be blamed, it is that he has no ability and has not fulfilled his promise with Xiao Jiujiu until today.

Thinking of this, Master Chang Jiu replied firmly: "I promise you, no matter what kind of little Jiujiu I meet, I will not back down in the slightest!"

"Very good, I was right about you." Nan Dou nodded in approval.

Hu Tao, who was riding on the same horse with Nan Dou and curled up in his arms, was also attracted by Chang Jiuye's firm performance.

However, Hu Tao was secretly wondering what Mr. Chang Jiu would react if he saw Xiao Jiujiu in ghost form.

Should I just scream and turn around and run?

Or are you so scared that your legs go limp and you collapse to the ground?

Hu Tao didn't expect it, as this kind of thing had happened more than once over the years.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the dilapidated village at the foot of Wuwangpo.

After arriving here, Master Chang Jiu's suspicion of Nan Dou and the other man was reduced a little, because this was the place where he and Xiao Jiujiu often played when they were children.

"I haven't been here for many years. I didn't expect it to be so dilapidated."

Master Chang Jiu walked to the small river beside the village, squatted down and felt the temperature of the water with his hand.

"It's still as freezing cold as before. I never took a bath in this creek once when I was a child."

Seeing Nan Dou and Hu Tao behind him, Master Chang Jiu said, "When I first started writing, I didn't write well. I was embarrassed to be seen by others, so I threw the manuscript into the river and destroyed it."

"This habit still exists even now. When I saw you guys take out the manuscript just now, I thought you got it by chance."

Ever since Xiao Jiujiu disappeared, Master Chang Jiu no longer came to this place, and he destroyed the manuscripts upstream of the stream.

Master Chang Jiu spoke with great emotion, completely unaware of the strange expressions on Nan Dou and Hu Tao's faces.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for so many years. I wonder what Xiao Jiujiu has become like. She must have become very beautiful."

"Hey, I was in such a hurry to get out that I forgot to take care of myself. Look at my messy hair. What if Xiao Jiujiu dislikes me?"

"Wash your face first, and be more energetic, it will always be better."

Master Chang Jiu was muttering to himself as if he was crazy, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and scooped up a handful of icy river water to wash his face.

"Hiss~ It's so cold."

"It was indeed the right decision to throw the manuscript into the river. The water is so cold that even if someone saw the pages in the river, they would not go down to fish them out."

"I'm so smart..."

The smile on Master Chang Jiu's face suddenly froze, and his pupils dilated slightly, as if he had thought of something horrible.

After a few seconds, he shook his head and said with a smile: "How is that possible? She is not stupid..."

All of Chang Jiuye's actions were seen by Nan Dou and Hu Tao, and the two expressionless men's eyes were full of sympathy.

After washing his face, Master Chang Jiu also calmed down and couldn't help asking, "When will Xiao Jiujiu come over?"

Nan Dou calmly replied, "She has some things to take care of, probably around evening."

"night……"
