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

In an instant, the waves receded and the sea returned to calm.

However, the figures of the sea beast and Nan Dou completely disappeared.

“Nandou…”

Beidou was floating on the sea, staring blankly at the place where Nandou disappeared, and was confused for a moment.

After a moment, tears flashed in the eyes of the strong Beidou. He turned around and swam desperately towards Shimokawa Village.

She wants to tell the village chief the news that Nan Dou was attacked by a sea beast!

……

One day later.

"Child, don't blame yourself anymore. Grandpa believes what you said. Nandou will definitely be fine. That child has always had good luck."

The village chief stood outside Beidou's room, looked at Beidou curled up in the corner with heartache and comforted him.

Seeing that Beidou had not responded, the village chief sighed helplessly, turned around and left quietly. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind: "Lunch is left at the door for you. If you are hungry, come out and eat."

The reason why Beidou became what he is now is not only because Nandou was attacked by a sea monster and disappeared in front of him.

Or it was because of the harsh words those villagers spoke to her after she returned to the village.

"What sea monster? Maybe she saw that Nan Dou was popular and secretly harmed Nan Dou!"

"I saw it when she first came to the village. She was going to be a disaster. Now, she has killed such a good man like Nan Dou!"

"The Southern Dipper determines life, the Northern Dipper determines death!"

"..."

Every evil word pierced deeply into her heart like a nail.

Beidou didn't believe in those superstitious statements, but Nandou was really swept into the sea by a sea monster while trying to save her and disappeared without a trace.

Even so, Beidou still believes that Nandou can overcome the danger and return to the village sooner or later.

It was also from this day on that Beidou began to become taciturn and unwilling to contact anyone except the village chief.

The villagers also regarded her as a poisonous scorpion and would stay away from her when they saw her, for fear of being infected with bad luck.

The village chief saw all this, but was powerless to do anything. The hardest thing to change is people's prejudice.

In order to make the villagers accept Nan Dou smoothly, the village chief made up the lie that he was a son given by God.

Now, Beidou, who killed the son of heaven, has left an even deeper impression on the villagers, and they are powerless to change it.

But as time went by, Beidou waited from spring to winter, but never waited for Nandou to return.

During this year, Beidou trained herself hard every day according to the practice method taught by Nandou, just to reach Nandou's level as soon as possible so that she could go out to sea to find Nandou's trace.

At the same time, she memorized all the books in the village chief's home, and with the village chief's teachings, she mastered a lot of knowledge about sea routes.

It was also in the winter of that year that the old and frail village chief caught a cold.

But after drinking the medicine, the village chief's condition did not seem to get better. The village chief gently patted Beidou, who was busy and anxious beside him, and said softly: "My child, when I was young, I traveled across the sea, and when I was old, I returned to my hometown to spend my twilight years."

"Being able to meet you two children in the last few years of my life is the happiest and proudest thing in my life."

"Everyone's destiny is determined by heaven. Nandou is a lucky child. Nothing will happen to him."

"As for you, Nandou doesn't want to see you like this. He once told me about his dream..."

"Cough cough..."

The village chief's face turned red, and Beidou saw this and hurriedly clenched his skinny hands.

"Haishan... the legendary giant beast from the underworld sea. I was lucky enough to see it once."

“What is Nam Doo’s dream, Grandpa!”

"Nandou's dream is to gallop across the sea and hunt sea and mountains!"

"Seamounts...what exactly are seamounts like?"

The village chief was very patient, and the brilliance in his eyes was as if he had returned to his youth: "The sea mountain looks like a fish and a dragon. The most unforgettable thing is the silvery white tail fin, which sparkles with dazzling and beautiful light under the sun..."

The village chief's words instantly awakened Beidou's dormant memory. A year ago, the sea monster that attacked Nandou had a silver-white tail fin!

"So... everything is destined?"

The village chief's breath gradually became weaker, and he held Beidou's hand with a little force: "Beidou, you must live well. After I leave, leave Xiachuan Village..."

"I will live well, grandpa, including Nan Dou's share."

"Then grandpa will be relieved..." The village chief's hand slowly dropped and his eyes closed slightly.

Faced with death, Beidou displayed extraordinary calmness and quietly guarded the village chief until dawn.

The next day, Beidou calmly told the villagers the news of the village chief's death, and attended the village chief's funeral amid the villagers' disgusted and fearful gazes.

That night, Beidou packed his luggage and quietly left Xiachuan Village.
