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

Chapter 61: Even the smallest hope is as scorching as the sun

Nan Dou, who was rescued by the girl and brought home, woke up the next day and found that the blood on his body had been cleaned up and he was changed into a set of worn but clean clothes.

"The only clothes at home are those left by my father. Some of them may not fit me well, so please don't be disgusted."

Seeing Nam Doo wake up, the girl explained quietly.

Nandou struggled to get up. Yasha's strong vitality allowed him to move, but the price was pain that ordinary people could hardly bear.

He could feel that he couldn't even clench his fists.

"Sure enough, he is already a useless person?"

There was no place in his body that didn't feel piercing pain, but it was no longer a big deal for him.

"Are you...in pain?"

Seeing Nan Dou's body shaking unconsciously, the girl asked tentatively.

"Why did you save me?"

Nam Doo ignored the girl's question and asked back.

"You should lie down first..."

"answer my question!"

Nan Dou interrupted the girl and asked sharply.

The girl felt wronged, and pouted her lips as she replied, "My father told me that as long as I'm alive, there is hope. No matter what kind of pain and despair I go through, as long as I persevere, I will be able to find happiness!"

"Happiness?" Nan Dou thought of the past twenty years and couldn't help but sneer: "Humph, they are all lies. Weak people don't deserve happiness!"

"You're talking nonsense! Daddy would never lie to me. Daddy never lies..."

The girl suddenly got angry, but halfway through her rebuttal, she fell silent when she thought about the last time her father went into the mountains to hunt, and he smiled and told her that he would be back soon, but he never came back.

After a long time, the girl regained her resolve and said stubbornly, "Humph, since you're alive, don't think about death so easily."

Nan Dou remained silent and just lay quietly on the bed.

I lay there for a full six months.

During the past six months, the girl worked hard every day to find fruits and wild vegetables, and relied on the animal meat donated by the villagers to barely keep Nan Dou and herself alive.

"It's been half a year. Why do you still care about a useless person like me? I can live a better life on my own."

Nan Dou, lying in bed, had asked this question countless times.

He had long lost the desire to live, and the only thing that made him curious was how long the stubborn girl in front of him could hold on.

"Keep alive. As long as you live, there is hope. You will cheer up one day."

The girl, who looked a little pale, said while panting.

Nan Dou remained silent, not wanting to persuade the stubborn girl in front of him any further, as she could hardly hold on any longer.

Three days later, the disheveled girl collapsed at the door of her house.

She was always the target of bullying in the village. Today, she had an argument with someone because of Nan Dou, and ended up being pushed down and stepped on a few times.

Nam Doo, lying on the bed, suddenly discovered that the girl, who always came home on time every day, was ten minutes late today.

For the first time in a long time, a ripple appeared in his heart.

Enduring the severe pain, he stumbled to open the door and found the girl lying at the door.

Seeing that the girl's face looked strange, he reached out and touched her forehead, and found it was extremely hot.

Nan Dou, who had never had any desire to live, suddenly wanted to save the girl after seeing her painful expression.

"Humph, you finally can't hold on any longer, you deserve it!"

Nan Dou said this, but he used all his strength to drag the girl onto the bed.

He was already a cripple, and even a young girl weighing less than 70 kilograms could hardly be lifted up by him.

"If you have a fever, you can cure it with medicine."

"I remember she said that the village chief has medicine..."

Nan Dou dragged his broken body and moved step by step towards the village chief's house.

On weekdays, he never left the girl's home except to go to the toilet.

Not to mention entering the village, but he knew that the largest and most luxurious house in the village was the village chief's house.

The girl was ostracized, so she lived quite a distance away from the village.

For a normal person, this distance is nothing, but for Nan Dou, every step he took caused severe pain all over his body.

But in order to save the girl, he seemed to have forgotten everything and limped towards the village chief's house.

For him, the only hope of living in this world now is to heal the girl.

On the way, Nan Dou met several young men who pushed the girl down.

"This is the useless person the fool wants to save. He's short, no wonder they can get together!"

"Hahaha, it's so funny to see him limping!"

"..."

Faced with sarcasm and ridicule, Nan Dou didn't care and just wanted to get to the village chief's house as soon as possible.

But the other party did not let him go. Seeing that he did not react, one of them came up and kicked him over.

Even someone as strong as him couldn't help but cry out in pain, but he immediately struggled to get up.

"You useless bastard should just lie on the ground quietly, why are you still struggling!"

Seeing this, one of them kicked him again, but Nan Dou still did not give up.

Then, a severe beating ensued.

Nan Dou held his head in his hands and silently endured the beating, just like what he had suffered in the past twenty years.

Gradually, the guys got tired of fighting, and one of them just spat and left laughing.

Nan Dou just stood up silently and continued walking towards the village chief's house with bruises all over his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Dou finally arrived at the village chief's house and met the well-dressed village chief.

After explaining the purpose of the visit, he was rejected: "Alas, the weather has been bad recently, many people in the village are sick, and the medicine has run out."

"We have to wait until tomorrow at the latest before the village hunters go to the mountains to collect them. Let's wait a little longer."

Nan Dou left silently, even though he saw the herbs he needed were planted in the village chief's yard.

After Nan Dou left, the village chief said to his wife, "That little bastard outside the village is finally going to die. We will have one less share of food."

“There are herbs in the mountains, right?”

Nan Dou gritted his teeth and entered the dangerous mountains at night.

Hard work pays off, and at dawn, he finally dug up the herbs.

He almost crawled back home, and the moment he saw the door, Nan Dou felt a long-lost sense of joy and excitement in his heart.

"Clap!"

The herb fell to the ground, its branches and leaves shattered like the girl's fragile life.

After all, he came back too late, and the extremely weak girl still lost her voice.

There was no sadness on Nam Doo's face, only a hint of regret and complete relief.

He reached out and gently stroked the girl's slightly cold cheek, whispering to himself: "Human life is so fragile... so am I."

At this time, a bewitching voice sounded in his mind: "I can give you powerful strength, enough for you to tear everything apart."

"Give me strength." Nan Dou said calmly.

"as you wish."

The body returned to its original state in an instant, and the five elemental forces filled the body.

"Now, use this power to tear apart those who have hurt you!"

The voice in Nan Dou's heart was fanatical and bewitching, urging him to start killing.

But Nan Dou was lying on the bed, turning over.

"What are you doing? Move! Go kill! Go take revenge!"

Nan Dou replied calmly: "She asked me to live well, and now I have done it."

"You are so stupid!"

With the angry roar of the Dream Demon, everything in front of Nan Dou shattered and returned to darkness.

"Hiss... I was dragged into the illusion again without realizing it. The demon is really dangerous."

"Is this the method that the demon god intends to use against Jinpeng?"

There was still darkness around Nan Dou, but the tiny golden light was much closer and bigger than before.

"Why? A dozen different hallucinations in a row had no effect on you?!"

"After being abused as a child, and then being treated with kindness only to have it shattered again, why would you be indifferent to such despair?"

"What went wrong? You've completely lost your memory!"

In addition to disbelief, the voice of the Dream Demon was filled with a strong sense of frustration.

During the hundreds and thousands of years since His birth, He has woven all kinds of nightmares, and His understanding of mankind has already penetrated deep into His bones.

But I have never seen an existence like Nandou. In terms of spiritual level alone, Yaksha is not much stronger than humans, and may even be weaker.

"Because even the slightest hope is like a scorching sun to me."

Nan Dou raised the corner of his mouth and responded to the Dream Demon with sarcasm.

"Okay, okay, then I will let you experience the despair of sinking into the abyss!"

Nan Dou was once again drawn into the illusion. In this soul world completely controlled by the Dream Demon, all he could do was to break free from the illusion and move towards where Jin Peng was, repeating the process over and over again.
