It was not a short journey from Mondstadt to Shimen on the border with Liyue, especially the bumpy carriage ride. When they finally reached the flat green fields near Shimen, the sky in the distance had gradually darkened. , the light and shadow at the junction of the sky reveal a line of dark blue, while the bright red clouds dotting the sunset still appear in the sky.
The carriage stopped by the tea stall in Shimen, and several people, including the driver, got out of the car to take a breath of fresh air.
This is the junction of Mondstadt and Liyue.
Ordering several bowls of "big bowls of tea" at the tea stall, Wendy and Famas left Ying and Paimon sitting in their seats and walked towards the cliff like a knife-cut stone gate.
Shimen is a good place to enjoy the scenery. To the north, you can see the large vineyards of Chenxi Winery. If the weather is good, you may also be able to see Mondstadt surrounded by Xingluo Lake and the Wangfeng Mountains further away.
To the south is the water-filled Dihuazhou and the Wangshu Inn, which is built around trees. There are mountains on both sides, dotted with clear water, and it is a beautiful scene of beautiful mountains and clear waters.
"I'll accompany you here."
Wendy stood by the cliff, and the autumn leaves of Liyue carried the breeze and swept through the young man's hair.
The crimson autumn leaves had just entered the territory of Mondstadt, and a blue breeze floated, carrying white dandelion seeds, as if fighting, into the territory of Liyue.
Famas suddenly remembered a legend he had heard.
A long time ago, probably when the old aristocracy had just been overthrown, the national boundary between Mondstadt and Liyue was not clear. Ever since Wendy woke up, she often came to the border to act wildly. He called dandelions everywhere they went, the land of the wind. Manually made The wind blows the dandelion seeds into the territory of Liyue Kingdom, making the entire Shimen covered with white dandelions.
Can Prince Yan bear this tone?
However, Morax, who came in person, failed to teach the cunning Wind God a lesson, so he handed over the task of dealing with Wendy to the Demon-Conquering Sage who was closest to the stone gate.
Fortunately, after that time, Wendy didn't come to Shimen to harass the demon-conquering sage for a long time.
In the breeze, in the mountains, Famas hugged Wendy from behind.
When the two said goodbye, Paimon at the tea stall spat out the large bowl of tea he had just drank.
"Bah, it's so painful!"
The sea bowl used for serving tea was almost overflowing with hot water, and dried tea silk strands were hanging in the water like a small pool. The bitter taste made one's throat dry.
There is an old saying in Liyue, "Food is the most important thing for the people." Of course there will be no shortage of good wine and tea. Three Bowls of Good Wine and Tea Room, Yanshang Tea House, etc. are all famous restaurants in Liyue Harbor. However, everyone drinks too much wine and new tea. I want to try the old taste.
Therefore, the Shimen Tea Stall not only provides tea to travelers passing by, but also provides the special Liyue Rock Tea.
This is a taste that ordinary Liyue people have never experienced. The combination of Mond's spices and clear springs attracts many guests.
"Liyue Port is really a place where you won't be bored. You can earn money and have such beautiful scenery. The residents here are really enviable."
Ivanovich, who came from the Winter Country, was chatting with a man dressed as a blacksmith at the table.
"Who says it isn't?" The blacksmith leaned on the rocking chair and looked at Dihuazhou in the distance. This was a rare afternoon for him to have some free time.
"But I still envy you even more. You are doing business everywhere and traveling throughout the entire continent of Teyvat."
"Business everywhere is very tiring, Lao Zhang, especially since the Seven Stars Immortal Requesting Ceremony is about to begin. It is the best time for business. If we don't buy more cider from Mondstadt, we won't have such good customers in the second half of the year. Source."
"It's a pity that I have bad luck...most of the stolen treasure group was intercepted. I don't know if Master Keqing sent the Qianyan Army to clean up the trade routes."
Ivanovich pursed his lips and looked north.
"I've been having bad luck recently. The weapons I use are always returned. This morning, Lady Keqing looked at my hammer for a long time without saying a word. When I knocked it, her head moved. I was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on my back.”
The blacksmith named Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and continued: "I don't know if someone snitched and was dissatisfied with the quality of my concentrate, or they were interested in the bedrock hammer passed down from my ancestors."
"Stop thinking nonsense. I heard that Qixing is very busy. How could he stare at you all morning for no reason? Maybe he just came out to relax?" the businessman joked.
"I hope so, but Keqing-sama is both cute and majestic. She deserves to be called the Seven Stars."
Lao Zhang sighed: "That's it for today. I have to go back to blacksmithing."
"Old man Kai, the money is on the table!"
Lao Zhang took out two molas with larger denominations. The old man, who was called Uncle Kai by other guests, slowly walked over and skillfully packed away the sand porcelain bowls on the table.
"No need, Lao Zhang, in a few days I will entrust an adventurer to go to Yanyuan, and I want to lend you a few sets for spare use. This tea will be regarded as maintenance fees."
Lao Zhang was a little surprised and his eyes widened: "Oh, how can we go there now! It's not peaceful there recently. I heard that Lao Wu even encountered a ghost."
"My son...maybe right there."
After hearing Uncle Kai's words, Lao Zhang was silent for a moment, lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before raising his head.
"It's better to be careful... Now that you have found the manpower, I will help you organize a few sets of equipment."
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang, walk slowly. I'm not a young man anymore. I have no intention of taking risks on my own."
The setting sun shines on the large and small shoals of Dihuazhou, and also shines through the cloth tent above the head into the tea stall, where the phonograph plays soft music.
The tea stalls in Shimen guard the edge of Liyue. There is no hustle and bustle of the wharf, and there is no interruption from the cries of vendors. There are only the chirping of birds, insects and the whispers of tea drinkers.
Shimen, Juyuan, Inviting Immortal Ceremony, Keqing...
Ying silently listened to the chats of various customers at the tea stall, hoping to get to know Liyue better.
"Paimon, do you know who the person named Keqing is? Everyone in Liyue seems to be afraid of her?"
After drinking all the tea in the bowl, the blonde girl felt her mouth taste sore and couldn't help but ask Paimon who was chewing dry food.
"Hmm... Yuheng Xing Keqing is one of the seven stars in charge of land and surveying in Liyue. She is a high-ranking girl!"
Pamon swallowed the biscuits in his mouth.
"Legend has it that this girl has measured every piece of land in Liyue with her feet, pulled a cart in the Great Rock Abyss, helped the workers at the South Pier pound soil, and ran around in small restaurants. She is a very close-knit Seven Star. .”
Hearing Paimon's introduction, Ying was a little surprised: "One of the Seven Stars will go to the dock to ram soil? Or is it a girl?"
"Yes, and because he likes to do scraping and offal, he is called the master carver."
Famas came down from the cliff of the stone gate with a smile on his face, and happened to catch up with Ying and Paimon discussing Keqing, one of the Seven Stars.
"Eh? Has the singer left?"
Paimon saw that Famas came down alone and asked quickly.
"Well, he's back."
Famas pulled up a rattan chair and sat down, looking at the beautiful sunset in Liyue. The sea breeze blew the lanterns not far from the tea stall. Looking from a distance, only the bright moon and the jade pavilions in the sky illuminated the night.
Licking his lips, Famas recalled the sticky, apple-scented kiss he had just parted with Wendy.
