"??"
|˛˙꒳˙)Hello?
"anyone there?"
|•'-'•)
"If no one is there..."
|⊙ᴗ⊙)
"They just came in!"
-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
In the quiet mountain village, a little girl came to the big building in the villa. After asking a question towards the big pavilion, she trotted away without waiting for an answer from inside. He slipped in.
That's right!
The person who came was none other than Anne!
After all, she was a little bored staying alone in Wangshu Inn at the moment. Sister Ningguang, who played chess with her and lost many times and was spanked many times, had left. As for Miss Mona, she needed to go to Meng. Deban also set out on the same day, and the two fools she needed to wait for, Sister Ying and Paimon, were probably still tossing around in the mountains in Jueyunjian, and for a while they were worried that they wouldn't be able to arrive so quickly. Meet her at the inn, so after staying at the inn for three or five days, she became a little impatient and naturally started to go out and wander around again.
Isn’t this?
She remembered the name 'Qingce Village' because she heard it accidentally mentioned by a guest dining in an inn, and now she came to this place built on the cliff of Wuwangpo with still beautiful scenery. It's a pretty good village here.
"Wow!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"What a big pavilion!"
♪(′∇`*)
While looking at it, Annie exclaimed in a low voice.
This is the largest building in the village. It looks like a large pavilion, with only guardrails and no walls. It is mainly supported by sixteen large square pillars that may not fit together. There are also many seats decorated inside. There are chairs and decorations, but there is no one there at this time, and I don’t know what the place is used for.
"??"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"Is it a martial arts gym?"
(๑′ㅂ`๑)
Then, Annie saw that there seemed to be two weapon racks placed on both sides of the high mountain and flowing water screen in the center of the pavilion. There were weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds on them, so she subconsciously guessed this.
"No……"
"Old lady, this place is not a martial arts gym."
"That's not a weapon, it's just a prop for singing."
At this moment, very suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Annie, and then she subconsciously turned her head and looked out the door.
"Props?"
Σ(ﾟдﾟ;)
"Grandma?"
(′ʘдʘ‵)
"So, is this your home?"
(ﾟ▽ﾟ)
Seeing the old hunchbacked old lady slowly walking in with her hands behind her back, Anne asked her questions without any politeness at all, as if she was the owner of the place, and she didn't feel at all that she had barged in and looked around without anyone's consent. There's nothing wrong with poking around.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"No……"
"I don't live here."
"This is the place where Zhuangzi discusses affairs and trains young people in skills."
Shaking her head, the old woman slowly walked up to Anne, and used her cloudy eyes to look up and down at Anne who was standing pretty for several times in surprise before saying this.
"It's you..."
"Little guy, where did you come from?"
"I remember, at the suspension bridge at the entrance of the village, no one seemed to say that a stranger entered the village. Could it be that you sneaked here by yourself?"
"cough……"
"There are a lot of monsters and Qiuqiu people nearby. Children nowadays are becoming more and more difficult to control. Just like Luo Xiaomei, they run out of the village every day and always say they want to see immortals..."
Just like that, the old mother-in-law asked with some surprise and worry, and after shaking her head and sighing, she looked outside again, as if she wanted to make sure that the strange little girl in front of her was accompanied by an adult or something. .
"laugh!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
"Grandma, why didn't you know that I'm not from here?"
♪(^_^)ﾉ
Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Anne made a rare face and asked cutely with a playful smile, and pretended that she lived nearby.
"You..."
The old woman was startled, but she didn't directly say why. She just walked forward slowly, somewhat dumbfounded, and sat on the chair in front of the screen in the hall. Then she looked at Anne again and said slowly. :
"actually……"
"Little girl, I have been paying attention to you since you just came here and started wandering around outside."
"As you can see, ours is a gentle and peaceful little village with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There is no shortage of food and drink, and life is very comfortable."
"pity……"
"Young people can't bear the loneliness and have gone to more lively places or Liyue Port. We are the only old men and children left in the village."
"After taking care of things for so many years, how many fields, bamboos or children are here? How could I, an old woman, not know?"
Then, maybe the old woman really wanted to find someone to talk to, so she actually murmured to Anne in such a nagging way, and after talking for a long time, she explained and blamed in a leisurely manner. smiled.
"Huh?"
+
Anne was slightly surprised by this.
"That is to say..."
(°ー°〃)
"Grandma, are you the village chief here?"
(O ^~^ O)
"It must be, right?"
₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪
Then, she thought for a moment and blinked before jumping over and sitting down on the other chair next to him. She just lay on the back of the chair without any sign of curiosity. He asked in a crisp voice.
"I'm not the village chief."
"However, maybe because you have been doing what the village chief does, over time, everyone thinks so, right?"
After saying that, he sighed again and shook his head. Then, the old man looked at Anne and asked kindly:
"Say it!"
"Little clever devil!"
"May I have your name?"
Looking around, he found that there was nothing here that could be used to entertain. The old man thought about it and gave up. Then he turned towards little Annie who was still lying on the back of the chair and was neither big nor small. asked.
"Annie Oh!"
(゜▽＾*)
"Anne Hastur!"
(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)
Anne spoke her name generously to Crisp.
"Anne Hastur?"
"Well……"
"I know you're not from Liyue. Where did you come from?"
Nodding, the old woman continued to ask.
"Where are you coming from?"
⊙▽⊙
"Um……"
(￣ー￣)
"You can say you're from Mondstadt, right?"
(๑′ㅂ`๑)
"But I've been staying at Wangshu Inn before, but I've been a little bored recently, so I came to your place to play!"
♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾
Anne said truthfully, without any intention of hiding anything. After she finished speaking, she moved the stool and lay on it, happily swinging her short milky legs.
"It turns out they are from Mondstadt!"
"No wonder, there was something wrong with your hair color, face and name just now."
"it is as expected."
Nodding, the old woman said that Anne's statement was basically similar to what she had guessed before.
Anyway, she was very sure that there was absolutely no one named Anne in their village. After all, she had never seen her before, and now that Anne was from Mondstadt, it made sense.
"But……"
"Wangshu Inn is at least several days away from here. How did you get here?"
"besides!"
"Where are your adults?"
As she spoke, the old woman subconsciously turned her head and looked outside the pavilion.
Unfortunately, it was very quiet outside, and no noisy sounds of people and horses were heard. It seemed that no outsiders came here.
"grown ups?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"He is the most, most... most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane mage. He can teleport directly here by himself, so there is no need. I need an adult to accompany me!"
(ʃƪ˘³˘)
Anne blinked in surprise at first, and then she quickly said this arrogantly.
"ah?"
"A-Arcane Archmage?"
"You flew here alone?"
After listening, the old woman repeated and thought about it, and the expression of surprise and confusion finally appeared on the other person's saggy and wrinkled face, as if she didn't fully understand what Anne just said.
"That's right!"
o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
"Anyway, I am very powerful. I can go wherever I want and whenever I want!"
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
"It takes others several days to get here from Wangshu Inn, but for others, it only takes a blink of an eye to get here!"
(^_−)☆
Annie said playfully and proudly.
In fact, it is not just from Wangshu Inn to here. As long as she is willing and has a specific goal, she can reach another place from any place in an instant. The distance is completely meaningless to her, Queen Anne!
Even if she thought about it, teleportation across planes was just a matter of thought. Sometimes even teleportation gates were redundant.
"Is it that powerful?"
The old woman seemed a little surprised by this.
Because she could hear that the little girl Anne in front of her seemed to speak very clearly in a coherent and logical manner, which was different from the general tone of words used by children in Zhuangzi when talking big words.
"That is to say..."
"You have the eyes of God at a young age?"
So, feeling a little surprised, she began to wander around Annie's body with her turbid eyes again.
But unfortunately, just like before, she still didn't find anything, and she didn't see the 'god's eye'. She just felt that the ferocious stuffed teddy bear that Anne carried with her was vaguely suspicious, and felt that Anne's appearance was suspicious. The eyes may be hidden inside.
"There is no such thing as the Eye of God!"
o(*｀ー´)o
"I am an arcane archmage, the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful person, so I don't need the 'eye of god'!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne expressed her disdain for the other party's statement.
In fact, let alone the Eyes of God, even the Heart of God of the gods in this world, she is very disdainful!
Not to mention anything else, just the singing god in Mondstadt, let alone how embarrassing that guy is!
As one of the seven gods in this world, let alone being so weak, he was reduced to the point where he was attacked by someone and then had the heart of god taken away. If it weren't for the Ying sister and the idiot Paimon before, Tell her, she probably doesn't even know that guy can use it to that extent!
As for the God of Rock in Liyue, let alone...
Thinking about it, not long after Queen Anne arrived at Liyue Port, the other party died in front of her, and then she actually wanted to take advantage of her?
Thinking about that kind of thing, I still feel a little angry!
You know, Queen Anne has no time to eat, drink and have fun. How can she have nothing to do to sneak attack or kill their boring god?
Besides, if she was angry, she would just grab the bear and kill him. How could she make a sneak attack during the ceremony? !
"The most... most powerful?"
"All right!"
"So, you are also a little adventurer?"
Speaking of the adventurer, the old woman's originally relaxed expression suddenly condensed, and then her cloudy eyes began to become a little blurry, and she didn't know what she was thinking of.
"No!"
o(´^｀)o
"Do those adventurers like to wander around, helping others to make money and find treasures, and constantly committing suicide? Although others like to wander around, they never help others to work, nor do they need to make money or go there. Looking for treasures, people just like to eat, drink and have fun everywhere!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
Anne made it clear to the point with her witty words the difference between herself and those adventurers. Of course, she also liked to make trouble everywhere and make trouble for others, but she would not say that kind of thing casually.
Anyway, she's not like her sister and the money-grubbing fool Paimon!
Although, my sister is acting as an adventurer more to find some clues?
But no matter what, Anne would definitely not be like them, running around all day long, delivering messages to others, and running errands. It was a bit disturbing to watch.
"..."
Unfortunately, the old woman didn't seem to take Anne's words into consideration this time.
She was just looking at the mountains and sky outside the hall in ecstasy. Her eyes were not focused yet, and she didn't know what she was looking at.
"??"
(*¯ㅿ¯*;)
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
く(＾_・)ゝ
"Are you thinking about something?"
(゜-゜)
After blinking and following the other person's gaze outside, and realizing that there was nothing but mountains, sky, white clouds and gentle breeze, Annie hurriedly called out to the other person.
"ah!"
"No, not really."
"only……"
"Why!"
"I thought about something..."
The old woman who came back to her senses first sighed quietly, then hesitated, and finally her expression gradually became lonely.
"??"
(⊙_⊙)
"What's wrong?"
(ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Anne was a little confused.
"..."
The other party didn't speak in a hurry. He just turned his head and glanced at Anne's curious and expectant little face. After a long time, he sighed as if he had finally made up his mind:
"cough!"
"sometimes……"
"I've been thinking that if I were born and grew up here in Qingcezhuang instead of the turbulent Liyue Port, maybe I would have a more peaceful and happier life, right?"
"before……"
"I used to be an actor in a teahouse in Liyue Port, and I once had a seemingly glorious life, but..."
"An actor is still an actor, so what is real?"
"No matter how much you get involved in the drama, you will end up trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain..."
"Perhaps actors are destined to live with lies?"
"The last time I saw him, he boarded a big ship sailing for adventure, and he made an appointment to return to Qingce Mountain with me when he came back..."
"Then it became the biggest lie I have ever encountered in my life..."
"He still couldn't come back after all..."
Speaking of this, the old woman's tone trembled slightly, and then she suddenly fell silent, and her cloudy eyes became blurry and flickered again.
"Ah!"
"I'm telling you what I'm doing, you won't understand."
However, this time she quickly came to her senses, turned her head, sighed and smiled bitterly at Anne who looked curious and confused.
"I understand!"
╭(′▽`)╯
"Grandma, what you are waiting for is an adventurer, and then he never comes back after he goes out, right?"
(ฅ´ω`ฅ)
After just thinking about what the other party said for a while, Anne smiled brightly and tried to summarize.
"But grandma, you better not wait any longer!"
(•́.̫•̀)
"The profession of adventurer is very dangerous, and there are so many scary monsters in this world. The person you are waiting for may have died long ago!"
(｡◝‿◜｡)
As if she was afraid that it would not be a big deal, Anne was so relieved.
"..."
However, maybe it would be better if she didn't speak. After she said this, the old woman's expression suddenly became stiff, and then her eyes that were still a little angry and hopeful began to become lifeless. .
"that……"
く(☍﹏⁰)ゝ
Scratching her head, Annie didn't know what she said wrong.
Because what she said was the best and most reasonable guess.
Of course, it's also possible that that guy met some more beautiful young ladies and then never came back. Maybe he simply forgot about the old woman?
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
"cough!"
"alright."
"Kid, you don't have to think about comforting me."
"The old woman is already at this age. She has already looked away. It doesn't matter anymore."
Shaking her head, she didn't know if she really looked away. Anyway, the old woman just looked at Anne with a bitter look on her face and said.
"correct."
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"Grandma, what's your name?"
(.⌒∇⌒).
Of course, Anne didn't know how to comfort people, so she could only quickly change the topic and prepare to talk about something else.
"me……"
"They all call me Ruoxin."
"..."
In this way, Annie began to chat with the old woman named 'Ruo Xin' in the lobby of Qingce Village.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Senior Ruoxin."
"Are you here?"
"I'm here to see you, and there's your favorite glazed mung bean cake..."
Until then, until a young lady with waist-length straight black hair, wearing a decent red, purple and white dress, with a fair face, wearing a crown, and her movements looked elegant, soft, gentle and pleasant arrived. , finally made the young man and the old man, who were chatting with each other, stop.
"Huh?"
(͡°▽͡°)✧
"green bean cake?"
(σﾟ∀ﾟ)σ..
"Very good!"
✧*. ٩(ᐛ)۶. ✧*.
Annie, who had been talking a little dry and impatient for a long time, cheered when she heard the words, then jumped down from the chair, jumped directly to the slightly shocked young lady, and grabbed her The gift that the other party was carrying was snatched away.
"!
"
(๑ˊ•̥▵•)੭₎₎
"Wow!"
(✪ω✪)
"Delicious!
"
ꉂ(๑✪؎✪)✧
Immediately afterwards, Anne, who never knew what politeness meant, opened the gift box on the spot without being seen at all, then threw her arms away and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"ah?"
"Who are you……"
Of course the visitor didn't recognize Anne, but she just felt slightly familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.
However, thinking that the little girl in front of her just now was talking to senior Ruoxin, she thought that the two of them had some kind of close relationship, so she didn't stop and just let Annie eat.
"that……"
"Senior Ruoxin."
"she is……?"
Then, after thinking for a while, she slowly walked up to the old lady Ruoxin and made a ladylike salute before pointing at Anne strangely and asking.
"Well..."
"Well……"
"I just met a little friend today, her name is Annie!"
"A magician from Mondstadt."
Seeing Annie's devouring look, and seeing that the box of mung bean cakes was about to be eaten up, the old lady Ruoxin didn't mind much and just smiled and mentioned this to the visitor.
"Annie?"
"From Mondstadt?"
"ah!
"
"I remembered, isn't she the little guy who made a sensation in Liyue!"
The visitor exclaimed, his face and eyes full of disbelief.
Anyway, she didn't expect that the little guy who was wanted by the entire Liyue would hide here in Qingce Village. He was really cunning enough.
However, those things are no longer important now, because she heard on the way here that it was said that it was a misunderstanding, and the wanted order had been lifted a few days ago.
"It's better to be famous than to meet you. It's a great honor to finally meet you today."
"My surname is Yun, and my last name is "Jin".
"Isn't he the person in charge of the Yunhan Society? Our theater company has recently been established in the Heyu Teahouse. In the future, would you like to invite Your Excellency Anne to pay more attention to you and come to listen to the theater often?"
After thinking about who Anne was, and then thinking about some of Anne's great achievements, such as some of her deeds in Mondstadt and her battle with the Qianyan Army at Yujingtai and leaving calmly, the visitor did not dare to neglect and hurried forward. He also bowed to Anne and solemnly introduced himself.
"Uh-huh!"
(⌒؎⌒)
"Hello, little sister!"
(ء°؎ء°)
However, with the food in front of her, Annie just waved her hand casually and continued to eat regardless.
No matter what, there are not many delicious snacks left in this box, and some of them suit her taste. So, Anne thinks, if she has anything to say, she can just wait until she finishes it first.
As for whether it is okay to eat the gifts given by others by herself, that has to wait until she finishes eating!
