Genshin Impact: The wind blowing back to the starting point

The young man in front of him was wearing a black cotton coat, his face was stained with charcoal dust, making himself look like a grimace. When Wendy pointed at him with a sword, his pupils shrank and his whole body tensed upright.

"You...aren't you a child too? Wu...dancing with guns and sticks is not a good boy either!"

Wendy sheathed her sword and threw it to Siswan.

Then, he stretched out his hand to the young man in front of him: "Hello, we are gathered here on such a snowy night. It is a rare fate. Let's be friends."

The young man looked at Wendy in front of him with hesitation in his eyes: "You... I don't know if you are a good person or a bad person..."

"Huh? I obviously have a nice face." Wendy said and touched her face.

"We...we look...about the same size. How can you be so powerful?" The young man looked at Wendy with doubt on his face.

"Do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you. In the future, you will be more like pretending to be a ghost. You can scare people away with just a fight." Wendy looked at the boy in front of her with a smile.

He considers himself an expert on how to have a good relationship with his children.

"Hey, you're such a strange person. Isn't it what you said is a good boy's thing to do when you're pretending to be a ghost?" The young man looked at Wendy helplessly, holding his hands.

Even experts stumble, to which all Wendy can say is: "Hey."

Siswan, who was on the side, watched all this with an expressionless face. He was already used to Wendy's behavior of exposing her true nature.

"Oh, it's normal for young boys to be a little naughty, just like me." Wendy smiled without any trace of embarrassment on her face.

"So do you want me to teach you?" Wendy continued to ask.

Just when the boy was still hesitating, he raised his head, suddenly turned Wendy around with his hands, and then hid behind Wendy.

Just as Wendy was wondering, she saw a woman in her thirties walking over with a rolling pin, her brows furrowed and her eyes scanning everything around her.

Suddenly, her eyes were fixed behind Wendy, and her eyes immediately turned angry. She raised her rolling pin and ran away.

She was wearing a bulky skirt and high-heeled cotton shoes, but she ran so fast in the snow. Wendy was shocked at what kind of anger drove her to be so agile.

At the same time, the young man behind him turned around and ran away, just as fast. Wendy was shocked again, what kind of fear could this have caused him to run as if he was being chased by a ghost.

"You little bastard! I didn't look at you for a moment, and you ran out again, right!? Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!" the woman shouted while chasing her.

"I was wrong! Mom, I was wrong!" The boy ran away and begged for mercy.

This chaotic chase made Wendy sigh helplessly. If this continues, she doesn't know how long she will be chasing her.

So, for him to secretly raise his index finger, the wind suddenly tripped the boy and he fell into the snow.

The woman also had a chance, so she immediately went over to pick him up and held him tightly. She kept saying reproachful words in her mouth. When she got angry, she hit the child on the buttocks with a rolling pin.

The boy kept begging for mercy, and kept reminding his mother that there were others here.

It's just that the woman was so angry that the boy's words were replaced by: "You still know how to be embarrassed! If you don't go home at night, if someone catches you pretending to be a ghost, why don't you feel embarrassed?!"

Finally, when the child had been beaten and scolded enough, the woman raised her head and let out a long sigh of relief, then hid the rolling pin behind her back and turned to look at the three melon-eaters.

From the woman's scolding, Wendy probably picked up some information: it was not only the first time that the boy acted like a ghost, but also every day. The boy's excuse for this was that it was for the benefit of passers-by.

This place is close to the Gunnhild tribe, but the wind did not bring any sound, which inevitably made Wendy suspect that the boy's words were related to what happened in the tribe.

"I'm sorry, you three. My child is too naughty. I will teach him a lesson. He...didn't scare you?" The woman looked a little embarrassed.

"Scared..." Edwin replied secretly.

Although it was very quiet, the woman still heard it and quickly picked up the rolling pin and hit the boy again: "Apologise quickly!"

"What are you apologizing for? He obviously scared me too..." The young man pointed at Wendy aggrievedly.

"That's why you scared people first!"

So, under strong pressure from his mother, the boy reluctantly apologized to Edwin.

Of course, Edwin would not care about the children, but was curious about the huge scarecrow, which did not look like something a child could make.

Hearing this, the embarrassment on the woman's face became more obvious: "My husband and I made this, and I asked this boy to come and set it up at night."

Hearing this, the three people's faces were full of doubts.

"Where...are you going?" The woman changed the subject.

"Is there a tribe called Gunnhild near here? We are here to find their leader." Wendy replied.

Hearing this, the woman sighed helplessly, with a troubled expression on her face. After looking around to make sure there were no extra people, she said softly: "I can't go, I can't go."

"Why? The three of them asked at the same time.

The woman wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. Seeing that it was getting late, she invited the three of them to spend the night at his house.

The three readily accepted the invitation.

Along the way, the woman briefly introduced her family's situation. Her name was Kanna, and her son's name was Doan. Their family name was Bold and they had been living here.

The lighted house not far away that they saw when they first arrived belonged to the Bold family.

Entering the house, warmth surrounded the three of them. Wendy, who had been braving the cold wind and carrying the two of them and a pile of apples for a whole day, really wanted to sleep right now.

However, he still had many questions to ask, so he cheered up, and after giving some apples to the family, he took one and gnawed on it to refresh himself, while waiting for Kaina to finish her work and ask her questions.

She closed all the curtains in the house and asked everyone to sit together around the campfire. Then, as if she didn't know where to start, she fell into a long silence.

"Um..." Edwin asked first, prompted by Wendy's eyes, "Why can't the Gunnhild tribe go?"

Edwin's words provided a good beginning. Kanna said softly, as if she was afraid that someone would hear: "Their entire tribe disappeared overnight."

"Disappeared? How long has it been?"

Wendy would listen to Gunnhild every night to make sure they were okay.

If something unexpected happens, it can only happen while I am asleep.

Kanna counted on her fingers: "No more, no less, exactly seven days."

Sure enough, it was after Wendy fell asleep.

"Can you be more specific?" Wendy asked.

Kanna nodded, looked around cautiously, and after confirming that the doors and windows were closed, she said: "The Gunnhild tribe suddenly moved to us a few months ago. At first we thought they came here to want us." We occupied this land and were even prepared to negotiate with them, but instead they went to camp on the island in the middle of the lake and were very harmonious with us.”

It can be said that the arrival of the tribe changed the originally quiet situation here. They love poetry and music and are full of romantic spirit.

And they are very enthusiastic. As people who have experienced wars, they themselves have very good combat effectiveness, so they often go hunting with the surrounding residents, and each time they share the excess they earn with the residents who go with them.

In their words, it was the wind that guided everyone to meet. Everything was arranged by the gods. Perhaps the gods wanted to see the unified and strong Mondstadt people.

Hearing this, Wendy raised her lips in relief.

"We don't know who the gods they believe in, but that doesn't stop us from becoming very good friends with them. Doan also went to them for a long time, just to learn martial arts, poetry and musical instruments."

Speaking of this, Kanna paused and frowned: "But, just that morning seven days ago, I accompanied Doan to the tribe. I wanted to learn some new recipes from them, but I only saw the entire tribe. There was no one there.”
