Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 16 Leave your children and travel with them

After running away from Chihu Street, Su Ping went straight out of the city and did not encounter any danger like last time on his way home. This shows that the Qianyan Army is quite capable.

When Su Ping stepped onto the muddy ground, he had not only Mora's banknotes but also the two star snails that he had exchanged for money.

After all, if you don't take anything, it would feel like giving alms to a beggar, but the girl just now is clearly a businessman, so you can't just give it to her directly, as that would be tantamount to insulting her.

Running back to his home, Su Ping took out the Mora banknotes, handed them to his mother, and said with a smile: "Mom, I made money!"

"Ah?" Li Ying blinked and looked at the money in front of her. She was not surprised that her son came back. Instead, she asked, "Ping'er, how did you make the money?"

"I wrote poems and earned 20,000 Mora!" Su Ping grinned and narrowed his eyes.

Li Ying also smiled with relief, reached out and gently touched her son's forehead, and said, "My son has made progress and can make money!"

"Hehe." Su Ping scratched his head and smiled even more charmingly, "By the way, Mom, I'm on my way back..."

Su Ping told her about helping a girl of similar age on the road, still holding the two star snails in his hand.

"Haha, my Ping'er is really a kind-hearted child." Li Ying picked up the two conch shells and thought, "How about I make a bracelet for you with red string later?"

"Okay."

Not long after that, Su Yue also returned home. The moment he saw his son, he felt a lot more relaxed. When he heard that his son had made money, he didn't ask how much. He just felt that his son was really promising.

He grinned and said, "Ping'er, you are much better than dad. You have already earned 20,000 yuan at the age of seven!"

"Isn't that your son too?"

"That's right, hahaha..."

……

The next day, after Su Ping woke up, he washed up and had breakfast, then pulled a stool and sat at the door.

It was noon, but I still didn't see the person who, as I remembered, would come almost every day. Maybe he was busy at home and had no time to come.

In the afternoon, Su Ping did not wait any longer, but went to help his family. This year's Moon Festival was much more sumptuous than previous years because there was an extra dish of pasta.

My mother told me that it was called Lianxin noodles. After eating it, the whole family would be connected heart to heart and could be together forever.

This Lianxin noodles warms the hands when held in the hand, warms the stomach when eaten, and warms the heart when thought about. Su Ping slurped the noodles, feeling that this was the most delicious food in the world, and nothing else could compare to this bowl of noodles today.

This day of the Moon-Chasing Festival passed just like that, and Su Ping fell asleep with some doubts.

The night was very quiet, and the evening breeze made the old doors and windows creak, but the family of three who had lived here for many years were already accustomed to it, so they slept soundly.

Su Ping slept until noon when he slowly woke up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the bright sun outside with a puzzled look.

He is usually used to getting up early, even at home. What happened today?

After Su Ping got out of bed, he no longer felt dizzy or drowsy. Instead, he was very awake and his mind was clear.

Su Ping was very puzzled by such a strange change, but since it did not harm his body, he let it go. After all, if he slept too much, he would indeed have such a reaction.

Another peaceful day passed, and Su Ping still did not wait for that figure to come. As the saying goes, one day without seeing each other feels like three years. It was strange not to see each other for such a long time.

"Did something happen?" Su Ping was suspicious and went to find his mother and asked, "Mom, hasn't Xiao He come over recently?"

"Xiao He? Including today, he hasn't been here for four days." Li Ying said, smiling, "Why, Ping'er has taken a fancy to that girl?"

"No, she always came before, but I'm not used to her not coming all of a sudden." Su Ping pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go to West Village to see her, maybe she's sick."

"Okay, but be careful on the road." Li Ying touched her son's head, sent her out of the village, and then went home to continue cleaning the house.

As for Su Ping, he walked along the road connecting the two villages and soon arrived at the West Village where Xiao He's family lived.

The terrain of West Village is higher. Looking back, you can clearly see South Village, and all the fields and village roads are visible.

After not looking for long, Su Ping turned back and walked into the village. After walking around twice, he still couldn't find any trace of Xiao He. After asking around, he learned a lot of things.

It turned out that Xiao He's mother passed away a month ago. The villagers helped to organize the funeral. Then four days ago, her father came back, took her away, and there has been no news since then.

Su Ping frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you say where you were going?"

"No, but he was in a hurry that day and took his daughter away. He never came back." A young man answered.

Su Ping nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

"No need, little prodigy." The young man waved his hand, picked up the hoe, and went to the field to plow.

Su Ping was thinking on the spot. He had also seen Xiao He's father. He must have made money outside, but when he came back he found that he and his wife were separated by Yin and Yang, so he hurriedly took his daughter to pay homage.

As for what happened later, the villagers didn't know what happened. Su Ping felt that it was useless to guess here. They would meet again if they were destined to. But he was not without worry.

Although the area seems safe, who knows if something unexpected will happen. Besides, there have been cases of people selling sons and daughters in the village before.

Thinking of this, Su Ping quickened his pace and walked back the way he came. He passed by a man who was in a hurry and looked anxious.

If Su Ping returned to where he was just now, he would be able to hear that person, with veins popping out on his forehead, lying on the ground and roaring: "Why, if I go faster, faster..."

"It won't be like this, it won't be like this..."

……

After that, Su Ping had been searching outside, but to no avail. He looked at the gradually darkening sky and could only sigh, "I hope everything is alright."

After returning home, Su Ping explained to his parents the arrangements after the Moon Festival.

"Mom and Dad, the teacher said that after the Moon Festival, he will take his students on a trip abroad. I came back this time just to ask for your opinions."

"That's great. Which country are we going to?" Li Ying asked.

Su Ping thought for a moment, "It seems that we are going to Inazuma first, but the teacher didn't say where we are going next."

"Inazuma." Li Ying murmured, and then asked, "How long will it take?"

"I don't know yet, but I will definitely be back before the Lantern Festival." Su Ping said slowly, holding the bowl.

Su Yue smiled and said, "Then go. The opportunity to travel abroad is rare."

Li Ying warned: "But still be careful, Inazuma's place is not as safe as Liyue's. I heard the security there is not very good."

"Of course, don't worry, Mom. Everything will be fine with the Master here."

It was the next day again, the sun rose, and the continent of Teyvat welcomed the morning of a new day.

Su Yue and Li Ying dropped their son off at Liyue Harbor, went to the private school to pick up the parcel, and then dropped him off at the dock, the former patting his son's head and saying, "Go, Ping'er, have fun."

With his parents' consent, Su Ping walked towards his classmates who were studying in the private school in groups of three or four. When he turned around, he saw that both his parents were still looking at him.

Suddenly, a gust of sea breeze blew by, causing the two conches on Su Ping's left hand to collide with each other, making a crisp sound, like the chirping of a young bird, pleasant to the ear.

Noticing their son looking back, Su Ping and Li Ying waved their arms in a silent goodbye.

Su Ping also stretched out his hand and waved it gently. From his angle, the shadows of his parents seemed to have aged a lot.

They were like a kind and gentle old couple, supporting each other, and wanting to see their grown-up children off. They were waving and saying goodbye.

After standing for a long time, Su Ping and Li Ying finally left. They looked back every few steps until they reached the street and could no longer see each other. Then they finally left without looking back.

At the dock, Su Ping sighed softly. He had been in this world for seven years, but this was the first time he had to leave his parents so far away. Although going to a private school was also a kind of departure, it was never this far.

Su Ping didn't know why he didn't want to leave because he was not too dependent on her. He only knew that he would always feel reluctant when leaving.

On the side, Zeng Xi, who was also carrying a package, walked up to the younger brother, patted his shoulder, and said slowly: "When your parents are still alive, you should not travel far away, and if you travel, you must have a plan."

"I know. I told them everything about this trip." Su Ping sighed and looked at the street where his parents left, without saying anything else.

Zeng Xi sighed and said, "In less than four months, we will be able to meet each other. Don't look so old at such a young age. Show some enthusiasm for traveling!"

"Haha, I'll try my best." Su Ping spread his hands.

"There's really nothing we can do about you." Zeng Xi shook his head and smiled, then pulled his younger brother onto the big boat that the private school had booked.

The rooms in the cabin were allocated in pairs, and based on the principle of first come, first served, Zeng Xi and his junior brother directly chose the room closest to the deck.

Yan Ziyuan and Ran Ziyu, who arrived later, lived next door. The four of them regrouped again and walked onto the deck together, watching the people coming and going on the dock with a calm look on their faces.

The waves beat against the shore, and the rock that had stood there for who knows how many years was also washed away by the invisible water, leaving indelible marks.

On the nearby ship, many people carrying luggage met their families at the dock and told each other about the longing they had for each other over the past few days and nights, as well as the interesting things that happened during their trip.

Su Ping placed his hands on the railing beside the bed, looking at the reunion over there, and began to imagine the scene when he came back, what would happen to him, his parents, and everyone else.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. Thinking about the reunion before he even left, wasn't he too homesick?

The ship finally began to move, leaving the harbor where it stayed, carrying a group of people who were also leaving their hometowns and heading to a strange country together.
