Chapter 54 Goodbye Keqing (Please read and vote)

A few days later

Get off the rocking boat,
Wang Hao and the other two finally set foot on the land of Qingce Village.

The surrounding bamboo forest is endless and looks very chivalrous.

But whether it was Wang Hao, Chongyun, or even Xingqiu, they were no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

"Next time I take a boat, I'll take your last name."

Wang Hao forced himself to suppress the nauseous feeling and cursed Xingqiu softly.

Xingqiu also looked pale and directly retorted: "When you got on the boat earlier, you said that boating on the clear water river was quite artistic!"

As for Chongyun, he was vomiting violently.

A day ago, they returned to Qiaoyingzhuang-Bishuihe Boat Port after a long journey.
Successfully boarded the so-called ship that could go to Qingce Village.

But unexpectedly, it was just a simple sampan.

At the beginning, it was quite interesting.
As a result, when they reached the middle of the river, waves began to rise and the boat rocked all the way to the shore of Qingce Village, almost shaking the three people's heads off.

So we have the scene above.

After resting for a while, the three of them finally recovered.
Xingqiu took out a map from his pocket and observed the surrounding environment.

"According to the comparison on the map, this should be near Qingce Manor. Only near Qingce Manor is there the largest bamboo forest in Liyue. The bamboo shoots produced here are the best for making pickled pork with preserved vegetables."

Xingqiu pointed his finger on the map and said, "We are probably right here. We can reach Qingce Village by climbing over the hillside ahead. Once we reach Qingce Village, there will be a road."

Wang Hao and Chongyun took a look and found nothing wrong.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

One of the symbols of Qingce Village, the bamboo forest grows densely on the hillside, swaying in the wind and making rustling sounds.

Maybe someone had entered Qingce Village from here before, so there is actually a mountain road here.

The three men walked along the rugged mountain road.

Wang Hao was in front holding a spear, Xingqiu was behind holding a sword, and Chongyun was in the middle. As they walked, they would remind each other to pay attention to safety from time to time.

The three of them took turns guarding and resting, which was obviously a careful preparation.

The previous encounter with the resentful demon god made them more cautious in the wild.

From time to time, bamboo leaves fell from above their heads and landed on their bodies, making them feel a little cool and refreshing.

As they moved forward, the stones and dead leaves on the road made noises, but they were not affected by the noises and continued to move forward steadily.

After passing through the bamboo forest, a huge terraced field appeared before them.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, the criss-crossing terraces are breathtakingly beautiful, like a thousand-layer cake, extending upward layer by layer.

In the terraced fields in May, the dense wheat, although not yet ripe, stands proudly like soldiers. Not a single leaf is crooked, making it look particularly lively.

The sun dried the soil on the terraces, leaving golden cracks on the green rice fields, making it look like a small river flowing in the rice fields, winding and stretching endlessly.

The green rice ears in the fields and the clear rivers outline a beautiful picture, which looks fresh and elegant and makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The three of them stood on the hillside, gazing at the beautiful scenery, and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

【What a beautiful scene. 】

[Yeah, this makes me want to travel.]

[Recommended for traveling to the southwest, where there are magnificent terraced fields everywhere. ]

【The Hani people welcome everyone to visit. 】

【…】

"It's so beautiful." Xingqiu exclaimed.

Wang Hao also came back to his senses. "It is recorded in the Liyue Chronicles that a Chi beast once caused chaos on Qingce Mountain. After being killed by the Emperor, the Chi beast turned into rocks and its blood turned into clear springs. This is how the rich place is today. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary."

“The matter of the Chi Beast is also recorded in the clan.” Chongyun echoed, “The Chi Beast was causing chaos, and the Qingce Mountain area suffered terribly. Later, the Emperor and the immortals took action to deal with it.” Xingqiu smiled and said, “Okay, stop sighing. Let’s go and take a closer look.”

The three of them walked towards Qingce Village, which was surrounded by terraced fields.

Qingce Village is currently the largest grain-producing area in Liyue, and is patrolled by the Thousand Rocks Army.

However, when they saw Wang Hao and the other two, the patrolling Qianyan Army did not question them too much, but only asked about their origins and purpose.

After learning that the three people had crossed the Bishui River from Chenyu Valley and came here, Qianyan Jun was a little emotional: "There are quite a few people coming from there these days. It seems that we have to report to Qixing and build a pier here in Qingce Village."

Upon hearing this, the three of them agreed.

If a port is built and large ships are available, we won’t have to vomit from riding in small boats.

"If you want to stay here, you can go to the manor to find manager Ruoxin and see if there are any vacant rooms." After chatting with the three of them for a while, Qian Yanjun pointed Wang Hao and the others in a direction.

Qingce Village is a very pure agricultural retirement village.

There are no large shops or hotels here. If you want to stay here, you can only stay at someone's home.

Wang Hao and the other two looked at the sky. It was already getting late. If they didn't want to sleep outdoors, it would be best to do as Qianyan Army said.

So the three of them hurried to Qingce Manor.

Under the guidance of the enthusiastic villagers, the three found the manager Ruoxin.
This was an old lady with silver hair, but she was in good spirits. Wang Hao seemed to see the director's grandmother.

There were some goods piled around the old woman, and she seemed to be busy with something, but there was no one else around.

Xingqiu stepped forward and explained his purpose: "Hello, Grandma Ruoxin. The three of us are traveling here and would like to find a place to stay for the night."

Grandma Ruoxin turned around and looked at Xingqiu: "Can I stay here?"

She frowned slightly, and then kept looking at Xingqiu: "Are you... the young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?"

Xingqiu showed a hint of surprise: "You know me?"

"Hehe, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce also has a warehouse in Qingce Village, and your father and I have some contacts there." Grandma Ruoxin smiled gently, "If you don't mind, just go directly to the warehouse of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. There is also a place to rest there. I'll get the key for you."

As she spoke, Grandma Ruoxin walked towards the house at the back.

The three of them looked at each other, especially Xingqiu. He thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "Oh, I remember, I bought too many books before, and there was no room for them at home, so I rented a warehouse here in Qingce Manor."

Wang Hao and Chongyun looked at each other, unable to understand how many books would require renting a warehouse.

After a while

Grandma Ruoxin came out from the house at the back, holding a key in her hand: "Here, this is the key to your warehouse."

Then he pointed the direction to the three people: "Go from here, turn three corners and you will reach the warehouse area. The warehouses are numbered, just match the number on the key."

Xingqiu took the key: "Thank you, grandma."

The three of them said goodbye to Grandma Ruoxin and walked in the direction the other party pointed.

After half an hour,

The sun was setting and we finally reached the warehouse area.

Then, a purple girl appeared in front of them.

"That is, Keqing?"

The purple girl, with a team of Qianyan soldiers, was moving something at the gate of the warehouse area.

Hearing a voice coming from behind, Keqing turned around and saw two familiar figures appear in her eyes.

There was a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

Keqing put down the goods in her hands and ran towards them:
"Wang Hao, Xingqiu!"
