Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

After all, even after she obtained the Eye of God in the past, her physical fitness only improved slightly, and the weakness caused by the disease still existed.

Perhaps it was the long-awaited realization that he was still sick, and Luan's body, which had been relying on forcing himself to stay strong and being nourished by the Butterfly Fire Pearl, finally showed signs of discomfort.

Coincidentally, Grandpa Hu, who was about to die, became bedridden a few days later.

……

It was drizzling outside.

Hu Tao was sitting in the room. As the oil lamp was not lit, Yun Shang, who was lying on the bed, could not see her expression clearly.

You can just feel that Kurumi is very fragile right now, like a child who is afraid of losing something and desperately wants to grab anything he can.

"Wouldn't you like to go over to Grandpa's place, Kurumi?"

Her voice suddenly rang out in the silent room, and in response, Kurumi's expression suddenly darkened.

"… It doesn't matter with the old man. He has always been very accurate in calculating the auspicious time for others. He probably even knows when he will die."

"So, Walnut should go and accompany grandpa."

Yun Shang tried to sit up reluctantly, but was held down by Hu Tao. She grabbed the girl's shoulders with both hands, and her expression was more like confusion than sullenness.

"He also told me this. You two are obviously not grandparents and grandchildren, but you want to treat me, your granddaughter, as an outsider."

She buried her head in Yun Shang's chest, her voice trembling slightly.

"...Don't you think this is too much?"

Hu Tao hasn't had a good dream recently. Every time she falls asleep, she thinks of her grandfather. He is getting farther and farther away, and no matter how she calls him, he will never look back. Then last night.

She saw Yunchang appear next to her grandfather, but he did not take Yunchang away. Instead, he pushed her back and kept looking at Hu Tao silently.

It seemed to be telling her to take her back...

If one day, the two people most important to you may face the fate of leaving you.

Can Walnut take all this as lightly as she appears to be?

Chapter 31: Eye of God

……

A few days later, Mr. Hu's funeral was arranged by Hu Tao, who was only thirteen years old, according to the old man's will.

She did not show any sign of confusion or helplessness. She managed all the affairs by herself, taking care of everything and satisfying the attendants.

Zhongli Keqing also came back with the medicine that day. After Yunshang took it, her health improved. The two depressing things were finally in the past.

That night, it seemed like fate.

Hu Tao quietly came to Yun Shang's room. She was carrying a bag filled with dry food, water and lighting tools.

She was going to go alone to a mysterious place rarely seen in the world. Located at the "border" of Wuwangpo——

This is the dividing line between life and death, a secret place managed by the Wōsei-do for generations. It is said that people can see their deceased relatives and the spirits of the dead whose wishes have not been fulfilled there.

Walnut hopes to go there and see her grandfather once more before he passes away completely.

He also asked her out of the secret that he had not told her at that time.

Why did Yunchang appear at that time?

It was like some kind of premonition that if she didn't ask, something would happen in the future that she would regret.

However, if she ran away secretly like this without letting Yun Shang know or worrying about her, it was not what Hu Tao wanted.

Therefore, she came here tonight to tell Yun Shang about this matter -

"...Take me away."

The girl, who had been curled up in the quilt and sleeping a little drowsily, sat up and reached out to grab her sleeve.

"Eh?" As Walnut was staring in surprise, the girl, who looked even more cool and charming under the moonlight outside the window, stared straight into her eyes, as if to prove her determination, and spoke again.

"Take me with you to the border."

"But……"

"I will leave a letter for Master Zhongli at home, and I have roughly guessed that Hu Tao will definitely not put the final nail in the coffin."

Yun Shang took a deep breath and said seriously.

"So, we will go to Bubu Lu to find Qiqi later. She will definitely agree to my request. After all, she is also like me, and has once stepped on the border between life and death. For her and me... that place will be a new beginning."

Qiqi is a zombie, and is also a person whose last bit of life has been locked away by magic. Although it cannot be seen from her expression, Qiqi is trying harder than anyone else to stay alive.

Maybe she didn't know why, and she was just acting based on the simplest instinct of not wanting to die. But if she could witness the boundary between life and death with her own eyes, perhaps she would be able to gain some understanding.

Yun Shang was probably the same. She wanted to go there and find a girl...a girl who was very similar to her.

Based on this reason, Hu Tao agreed to Yun Shang.

However, there was naturally more luggage to bring, and when Walnut was thinking about this, she found that there was unexpectedly one more piece of supplies in the kitchen.

Not a cent more, not a cent less. It was as if someone had known their choice and prepared for them.

So, the two of them took advantage of the cover of night, sneaked out of the Wangsheng Hall, and rushed to Bubu Lu.

The lights on earth have gone out, but the stars in the sky are still shining.

In the small courtyard of Bubulu, the two found Qiqi who was looking up blankly.

This time, she did not run away when she saw Hu Tao, but hid behind Yun Shang, and even wanted her to touch her head with her hand.

It's just like a lost cub finding its mother again...

Under Yunchang's rubbing, Qiqi's expression seemed to become more lively.

After learning about the two people's goal, he did not hesitate, but nodded and found a medicine basket that was neither too big nor too small, just enough to fit Yunchang.

Just like that, after leaving a letter to inform others (Qiqi's letter was written by Yunchang), the three little guys set off without stopping.

They drank up all the water they brought with them halfway through the journey, but fortunately, Liyue is surrounded by mountains and water, and there are mountain springs available on the way. When they were hungry, both Hu Tao and Qi Qi could find edible wild fruits.

Relying on the dry food saved by Hu Tao, Yun Chang's physical condition was maintained better than expected, as if the dark cloud of disaster had passed.

At night, the three of them would lie side by side, and Yunshang, who was in the middle, would tell them stories.

A story about a glass bird from a neighboring country and its interactions with a human girl.

The warm body temperature was transmitted through the tightly pressed skin, and even Qiqi, a zombie, felt a different kind of warmth spreading in her heart.

The bonfire not far away continued to burn, the branches made crackling sounds, sparks splashed, and then there was a good night's sleep.

After three days, everyone finally arrived at the border.

However, Hu Tao did not find his grandfather. There were countless ghosts coming and going, some in a hurry, some with resentful expressions, and none of them looked like his grandfather.

She held up her face stupidly and sat on the side of the road, counting until she was so tired that she tilted her head and fell asleep on Yun Shang's shoulder.

And after she fell asleep, the girl simply adjusted her position so that she could rest her head on her legs as comfortably as possible, picked up the fallen leaves stuck in her hair, and stroked her head gently.

A whole day went on like this, and neither Hu Tao nor Yun Chang saw the person they wanted to see. Even if there were a few bad-intentioned people who pointed at Yun Chang and said, "Hurry up and go, don't waste time," they would soon be driven away by Qi Qi.

Qiqi didn't understand all this at first, but she instinctively felt that they were bad, so she drove them away, just like when she was picking herbs and occasionally encountered robbers or human traffickers blocking the road, she would teach them a lesson in the same way.

Not long after, another lone ghost came over, clapped his hands and laughed at them: "Oh, how could there be so many silly girls? Why is old Hu here? I'm afraid he is just imagining things and is here to look for your family!"

Hu Tao, who didn't believe in evil, soon started arguing with him and refused to leave. Day after day, the dry food they carried with them was exhausted and the drinking water was almost gone. If it weren't for Qi Qi's help in finding food, their trip might have ended in vain.

Finally, the three of them waited for a short old woman who looked particularly kind and spoke in a soft voice.

Seeing the three little ones squatting here, looking very sleepy, she smiled and said, "Not only you, but the other two are also stubborn, with the same stubbornness. It's a pity that the past masters of the Wangsheng Hall would never linger here. Your ancestors have lived and died frankly for generations.

So, go back - go back to where you belong. And don't let your companions continue to starve and freeze here. "

The mysterious old woman bid farewell to the three people and walked deeper into the depths across the border. Only to see her thin figure disappear in the distance, and Walnut felt a sense of relief in the midst of her doubts.

Only Yun Shang seemed to have seen her somewhere before. In her memory, there seemed to be a woman who came to visit her with a child in her arms...

But she couldn't remember who the other person was.

However, this trip was finally over. Walnut also believed that her grandfather had not shown up yet, but had already crossed the border and gone to the place he was supposed to be.

Grandpa Hu lived an upright life. The only regret after his death was that he was worried about Yun Shang's frail health. But as long as she was taken good care of in the future, there should be no problem. Instead of continuing to think about it and regard it as a regret, it would be better for me to take responsibility and take care of her and Wangsheng Hall on behalf of my grandfather.

With this thought in mind, Hu Tao laughed out loud and started his journey home with Yun Chang on his back.

The moonlight was far away when we came, and the morning light was bright when we returned. As Hu Tao walked on the road, he recalled what his grandfather often said: "You are born when you are alive, and you die when you die. Follow your heart and do your best."

"Perhaps, Grandpa has already anticipated this."

In response to Yunchang's words, Hu Tao just shook her head and said in an open-minded manner.

"There's no need to give the old man these names. He has always been a free-spirited person. No matter how hard others try to please him, they can't offend him either. He lives a carefree and carefree life."

While Yun Chang was thinking about this, Hu Tao came over, poked her cheek and asked.

"But you, with so many things happening, are you feeling unwell?"

"No. Rather, my body feels less heavy. Is my soul going to fly out in the next second?"

"Don't make jokes about ghosts at a time like this."

"I didn't. And Kurumi was so cute when she showed concern for me just now. Please keep it up!"

As the two of them were playing around like this, Qiqi showed a bit of envy, but Yunchang soon noticed it, and she took Qiqi's hand and started chatting with her.

When the three of them arrived home, Hu Tao was about to climb over the wall into the backyard, but was caught by Master Zhongli, who was looking at the girls who looked quite embarrassed.

He sighed, but did not make things difficult for them. He just urged them to wash up quickly while he prepared some warm meals for them.

After they finished taking a bath, they found that they had run out of water and food, and their empty bags were missing. On the table was fragrant warm food and two glittering eyes of God.

As the few living people, or resurrected people, who dared to stay at the border, their actions moved an unspeakable god.

Thus, we can obtain the gifts and miracles from the heavens——

One is a testament to ultimate power.

One is the ultimate proof of protection.

Chapter 32: Yunjin

A week before heading to the border.

Yun Chang was watching over the shop in the Wangsheng Hall, and occasionally glanced at the Water-colored Divine Eye next to her.

This was a gift from God that appeared on the dinner table at some point after returning from the previous journey. Even Walnut received an Eye of God of the Fire Element.

Although the preciousness of the Eye of God in this world had been recognized from a very early time, it was somewhat surprising that she had obtained it in two consecutive lives and that even the people around her were the holders of the Eye of God.

It is said that holders of the Eye of God will be attracted to each other?

Yun Shang couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

After getting the Eye of God, she began to familiarize herself with the feeling of controlling elemental forces again without any instruction.

Since her body was much better than that of her previous life, and she had also undergone systematic learning, Yun Chang's process of controlling elemental power could be said to be a natural process.

Moreover, having Barbara as a friend, she had an innate affinity for the Eye of God of Water Element. Even after obtaining it, the first thing she tried was to heal others.

From the results, the healing power is very impressive, and common minor illnesses or injuries are basically no problem.

From now on, it won’t be an exaggeration to call myself Little Barbara——

Apart from that, if there is any regret, it is probably that the offensiveness is still poor as always, right?

A girl who has a clearer understanding of herself, she tends to use and try more to assist others, especially for people like Hu Tao who often hurt themselves. She also learned the technique of building a water shield.

In this way, it can be said that Walnut's defect of excessive offensiveness and insufficient defensiveness is made up.

Of course, even if Yunchang was willing, Master Zhongli would not agree to go out for adventures every few days.

Talking about this respectable and amiable master, or father-like figure.

She remembered that when he looked into her divine eyes, he showed an expression of "regret".

This regret was not directed at her, but more like a complaint to himself——

But on the other hand, Yunchang also learned the skills of constructing water shields from Master Zhongli.

It really makes people marvel at his profound knowledge.
