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

Two months later...

Outside Liyue Port.

"I understand, I understand. Go ahead and do your work, brother. I'll wait for you at home."

Seeing Hu Tao's sensible appearance, Nan Dou reached out and touched her head with satisfaction: "Brother brought you some gifts this time. If you encounter any problems, go to Zhongli Keqing."

"Don't worry, brother. Just go out with peace of mind!"

After saying goodbye to Hu Tao, Nan Dou gradually walked away.

Only when she could no longer see Nan Dou's back did Hu Tao turn around and walk towards Liyue Harbor.

At night, Nan Dou found a secret cave in the mountains and forests of Liyue and entered the River of Destiny again.

……

"This is already the fifth time without me noticing."

Nan Dou walked back and forth in the long river of fate skillfully, and soon saw the colorful light.

After another brief exploration, Nan Dou discovered that the colorful light band became brighter, as if it could open at any time and something would emerge from it.

"This time, let's go see Big Sister Beidou."

Nan Dou said, reaching out and touching the piece of history.

But what he didn't see in the last second before disappearing was a streak of black light covering that piece of history.

……

To the west of Wangshu Inn, there is a small village called Xiachuan Village.

Xiachuan Village has only a dozen households and is not even marked on the map.

At night, the cold moonlight shines on the earth.

"Wow~Wow~"

Suddenly, a shrill cry was heard from the small fishing village which was always silent at night.

Upon hearing the noise, the chief of Xiachuan Village got up and walked out of the house, and found a baby under a tree next to his house.

The magical thing is that when the village chief picked up the baby, the baby's crying stopped abruptly, as if the pause button was pressed.

The village chief looked around carefully and found no traces except the baby, so he immediately came to a conclusion:

“This is a gift from God to Shimokawa Village!”

"..."

The next morning, the village chief announced the adoption of the baby at a gathering where villagers were preparing to go fishing all day.

And named the baby: Nan Dou.

Xiachuan Village was not originally called Xiachuan Village. Instead, the villagers migrated from Shangchuan and changed its name to Xiachuan.

I don’t know if it’s because of the name change or because they can’t adapt to the new environment after migrating.

The life in Xiachuan Village has not been prosperous in recent years, and the annual fish catch has not been very abundant.

"This child is a gift from God to our Shimokawa Village. He will bring us luck and blessings!"

"Oh!!!"

The village chief has a high prestige in the village, and the young and middle-aged men who are preparing to go out to sea to fish responded and sent their blessings to the boy.

After this, it seemed as if God really blessed me.

The villagers of Xiachuan Village have reaped rich rewards after going out to sea for many consecutive days.

Therefore, the superstitious villagers believed even more that Nan Dou was a gift from God.

Nan Dou grew up in such an environment until he was five years old.

The village chief is very old, but he has great prestige and is given enough food by the villagers every day without having to work.

Of course, prestige cannot be used to make a living. The main reason why the village chief is respected is that he possesses knowledge.

Observe the weather, look for schools of fish…

It is because of the presence of the village chief that the villagers of Xiachuan Village can go out to sea to fish more easily.

Unfortunately, these villagers are too superstitious, and no one has the ability to learn the village chief's skills.

Nan Dou relied on his intelligence and quickly learned the village chief's skills, but he didn't tell anyone.

"It's really nice to have food to eat without working."

This time, fate intervened and shortened the time it took Nan Dou to recover his memory, and he recovered his memory when he was half a year old.

If there is any benefit to recovering memory earlier, it is naturally that you can practice earlier.

For Yakshas, ​​if they have memories in the womb, then they can be trained in the womb.

There are no specific requirements for absorbing the elemental power between heaven and earth. Even if your body is weak, you can become stronger through it.

Cultivation is a progressive process, that is to say, the earlier you start practicing, the faster you will become stronger.

If Nan Dou really starts fighting now, all the villagers of Xiachuan Village together will not be his match.

"Nandou, have you finished reading all the books grandpa gave you a few days ago?"

Just as Nan Dou was lying on the roof of his house basking in the sun, the village chief walked out of the house with a cane, raised his head with difficulty and looked at him and asked.

Nan Dou waved his hand as expected, "After watching Grandpa, I can build a fishing boat now!"

"Haha." Nan Dou's words amused the village chief, "You are so small that you can't even hold a harpoon, but you want to build a boat."

"Come down, it's almost time for dinner. After dinner, I'll give you some books to read."

The village chief waved kindly at Nan Dou. The same conversation had been going on since Nan Dou was three years old until now.

"okay!"

Nan Dou climbed down from the roof nimbly and followed the village chief happily.

After these few times of fate's intervention, Nan Dou can definitely be considered a well-read person.

After all, as a single person, Nan Dou, who is used to the Internet age, finds it difficult to arouse his interest in the entertainment methods of this world.

Reading became his main form of entertainment, because for some reason his memory had reached the level of being able to remember everything he saw.

The feeling of understanding more and more every time he reads really makes Nan Dou unable to stop.

However, the books that the village chief asked him to read were mostly about shipbuilding, weather forecasting, map exploration, and how to drive a ship.

As for why, it has something to do with the story of the village chief when he was young.

It's not complicated. When he was young, the village chief traveled on the sea, learned and mastered various maritime skills, and even worked as a captain for a period of time.

This legendary experience also came to an end when the village chief returned to his hometown due to old age.

Lunch consists of fish caught by the villagers in the morning and wild fruits and vegetables picked by the village women.

It is of course good to eat fresh fish every day, but if you eat it like this for years, everyone will get tired of it, and Nan Dou is no exception.

"Grandpa is old. After he passes away, I will have to rely on you to lead the villagers to go fishing."

After dinner, the village chief said with a kind smile as he handed a book to Nan Dou.

"Then Grandpa has to live a few more years, otherwise those guys may not listen to a little kid like me."

Nan Dou shook his head helplessly. During these days of getting along with each other, he gradually understood the character of the people in this village.

To sum it up in one sentence: superstitious like a primitive man.

There are many reasons for this situation. As a man who has been to sea and has a wide range of experience, the village chief naturally does not want to see the village like this.

But due to various factors, and his old age, he gave up trying to change the villagers' minds.

"Well, then it will all depend on their luck."

"At least grandpa won't worry about you now."

Nan Dou was reading a book, and when he looked up again, it was already dark.

"Hmm~ I accidentally got lost in thought again."

Nan Dou walked out the door and skillfully grabbed the still warm food placed at the door.

"The sea at night is also very beautiful, especially the moon in the sky..."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Just as Nan Dou was eating and enjoying the beautiful scenery, a burst of rapid dog barking suddenly came from the entrance of the village.

Nan Dou followed the alarmed villagers and ran out of the village.

From a distance, I saw a thin little girl chasing an equally skinny dog, panting.

"This day has finally arrived..."
