Chapter 7 Encounter in the Cave

Chen Tianfeng is taking a shower.

The cold river water took away the fatigue of the past two days. Chen Tianfeng shook his wet hair, changed into a clean cloth, rolled up his original clothes, set them on fire, and watched them turn into ashes.

So far, the last item he carried with him that belonged to the time traveler was gone... No, there was still one.

Chen Tianfeng carried a knife and returned to the cave he had just found to hide from the rain. He lit a bonfire with the firewood he picked up, and looked at the silver coin lying in his hand by the firelight. It should be a commemorative coin purchased during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The front is Chang'e flying to the moon, and the back is engraved with the moon.

"Thousands of miles apart, we share the beauty of the moon..."

Chen Tianfeng muttered, and treasured the commemorative coin, and his expression gradually became serious.

Now he has time to see the changes in his body.

He rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, looked at his white forearm, and his eyes flickered.

There should have been a scar here. In order to poison without leaving any trace, he was deliberately slashed by Scarface. Because of this, the Dagger Bandit who was watching him cook did not find anything unusual.

It was just that the cook's arm was injured and bleeding while cooking, and he didn't care - it shows how important hygiene is.

In addition to the increased recovery ability, the strength seems to be a little stronger.

Chen Tianfeng clenched his fist, his eyes were a little weird. If this is his "golden finger", then this "golden finger" is a bit plain and unpretentious.

The blood is poisonous, the self-healing ability is enhanced, the strength becomes stronger... and then it's gone.

It's better than nothing. It's more or less a professional poisoner, carrying deadly poisons with him... Chen Tianfeng grinned, and his instinct told him that the changes in his body were not as simple as they seemed, and he was still in an unactivated state.

But how to activate it... Instinct didn't say.

"Alas, what's going on..."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, looking at the heavy rain outside the cave, patted the donkey's head, fed it a handful of fresh grass, clapped his hands, and found a stove on the cart.

After finally escaping from the dead, he had to make something good to reward himself.

Chen Tianfeng counted the remaining supplies, and felt a little sorry that he didn't cut some horse meat. He glanced at the stupid and honest donkey again, and estimated that it should not be a problem for him to walk back to Liyue.

Put some poultry meat donated by birds whose names I couldn't tell in the pot, add some spices, and throw in a few shredded mushrooms after the pot boils, simply season it, simmer it over high heat, and the aroma will bloom from the gurgling pot.

There is no complicated and particular method, it mainly depends on the freshness of the ingredients.

Chen Tianfeng sniffed and nodded with satisfaction.

He was about to pour a bowl of soup to drive away the cold, but his ears moved. He frowned and looked outside the cave, while picking up a long knife to prepare for defense.

In the heavy rain, a figure was anxiously looking for a place to shelter from the rain. Suddenly, he saw the fire in the cave and was overjoyed. He hurried into the cave to hide, wiped the rain off his face, shook his hair, and twisted his wet sleeves. He looked very embarrassed.

"What a nice smell."

The man's nose moved and looked at Chen Tianfeng, smiling with a defensive smile: "My friend, I wonder if you can do me a favor and let me take shelter here?"

The person who came was naturally Ye Lan in disguise. She swept her eyes across the donkey cart in the cave, and stayed on the long knife in Chen Tianfeng's hand for two seconds, and she understood.

If nothing unexpected happened, the young man in front of her was the "accident" she was looking for.

But in this way, many of the previous speculations were not true. She did not perceive too much danger in Chen Tianfeng, and even "saw" the "unfairness" in Chen Tianfeng-it should be his first time to kill someone.

It seems that more "interesting" things should have happened before the Silver Wing Treasure Stealing Group came to an end... Ye Lan thought, but her expression did not change at all.

This is her guess, and it will only be her guess. The fire and heavy rain destroyed the evidence completely. As long as Chen Tianfeng himself did not admit it, no one could "frame" him for murder.

"Of course, this cave is ownerless, and I have no reason to stop you, brother."

Chen Tianfeng glanced at the heavy rain curtain outside the cave, did not refuse, and his palm did not leave the hilt: "But brother, how come you are in such a remote place?"

"Aren't friends here too?"

Ye Lan, pretending to be a Liyue merchant, smiled reluctantly, rubbing his arms to try to resist the dampness and coldness brought by the rain: "I am a businessman, and sometimes I have to take some risks to earn more Mora."

"... Makes sense."

Chen Tianfeng thought of the "merchant" who was hung on the street lamp in the original world, and felt that what the man in front of him said made some sense. However, most of the merchants who come here to do business are not serious merchants.

"It's cold on rainy days, come over and warm yourself by the fire." Chen Tianfeng invited him with a sincere smile: "If you don't mind, drink a bowl of soup to warm yourself up."

"Thank you, thank you."

The businessman thanked him repeatedly and sat a little further away from Chen Tianfeng, half alert and half evasive: "No need for soup, I'm still young and my body can handle it."

"That's fine."

Chen Tianfeng didn't persuade him any more. It's normal to worry about the other party poisoning you when you meet unexpectedly in the wilderness. If the man in front of him accepted it without hesitation, he would have to think about how to poison him.

"By the way, where is your friend from and why is he here?"

Ye Lan asked, then she seemed to remember something and smiled sheepishly: "Looking at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself first. My name is Lan You, a businessman from Liyue. I originally planned to go to Qingce Village to collect some specialties. Then he sold it to Liyue Port, but he was robbed by bandits on the way."

She guessed what happened to Chen Tianfeng and made up an identity.

"Brother, it's not easy either."

Chen Tianfeng sighed with emotion and replied: "My name is Chen Tianfeng. I am a... traveler. I was entrusted by someone to go to Liyue Port to handle some chores."

"traveller?"

"He's just a prodigal who hasn't found a home yet." Chen Tianfeng smiled and served himself a bowl of soup: "Maybe when you get to Liyue Port, you will come up with the idea of ​​settling down in Liyue Port. I don't know if Liyue's household registration is good. manage."

"Liyue Port welcomes every traveler who wants to join, and household registration is naturally not difficult."

Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "To be honest, I have a way to help people apply for household registration."

Chen Tianfeng's origins are unknown, and he may have killed someone, so he can barely be considered a destabilizing factor. Instead of letting him wander around in Liyue Port, it would be better to help him or supervise him secretly.

"Brother's business is quite extensive." Chen Tianfeng looked at him with a strange look in his eyes: "Brother, are you a professional in handling fake certificates?"

"...Guaranteed to be true!"

Yelan twitched the corner of her mouth and emphasized: "I am a serious businessman, but the types of goods I buy and sell are more and more complicated!"

Chen Tianfeng didn't say whether he believed it or not. He took a sip of soup and looked outside the cave: "It looks like the rain won't stop for a while. Brother Lan You also wants to go back to Liyue Port. Are you in a hurry because of the rain? "

"It's just one more day of delay. My business is stable, so it doesn't matter if I disappear for three to five days." Ye Lan waved her hand.

There are still three or five days to go from Liyue Port. If we go the wrong way, we will be in trouble... Chen Tianfeng glanced at Lan You and saw that there seemed to be no place on his body to hide the Eye of God, and then looked at his body. The thin body suddenly felt reassured: "We are destined to meet each other! Brother Lan You, how about we go together? We also have to take care of each other."

"What I wish for!"

Ye Lan agreed immediately. She was also thinking of tricking Chen Tianfeng into going with her, and it took no effort at all.

The two looked at each other and smiled, each with his own plans.

"Come on, brother Lanyou, try my handiwork."

Chen Tianfeng first gulped down the soup in the bowl in front of Ye Lan, then took out a clean new bowl, filled the bowl with poultry meat and mushrooms, and handed it to Ye Lan with a hearty smile.

"Brother Chen is too polite."

Ye Lan resisted twice, silently calculating the time since Chen Tianfeng took his first sip of soup, and carefully observing his condition. She didn't notice anything unusual, so she accepted the soup bowl with confidence, and then took the chopsticks handed over by Chen Tianfeng.

"Brother Chen is so good at his craftsmanship!"

Ye Lan sincerely praised him.

"I am over-flattered."

Chen Tianfeng accepted it humbly, and together with Ye Lan, they finished the otherworldly simple version of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

After the meal, the rain decreased.

Chen Tianfeng cleaned the pots and bowls, boiled a pot of water, put it into water bags, and sat on the cart as if thinking about something.

"Brother Lan You, you are doing business in Liyue Port. You should know a lot about it, right? I want to ask you something."

"Brother Chen, please tell me. I will tell you everything you know."

"That's right..." Chen Tianfeng considered it and said: "I heard that the most solemn festival in Liyue Port is the annual [Immortal Invitation Ceremony], which is presided over by the seven stars in turn. The gods of Liyue, Lord Yanwang, are also It will come on this day and give an oracle to guide the direction of Liyue this year... Is this true? "

"Of course it's true." Ye Lan nodded.

Chen Tianfeng observed Ye Lan's expression and determined that the traveler had not arrived in Liyue, and Emperor Yanwang had not directed and performed the "Emperor's Immortal Death" play - otherwise Brother Lanyou's expression would not have been so calm.

"It's incredible! I heard that in Mondstadt, the Kingdom of Wind, the God of Wind has been missing all year round, and it has almost become a legend. Liyue is truly a country of [Walking with the Gods]."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, "Has this year's [Immortal Invitation Ceremony] started yet? Being able to see the gods of Liyue and the Seven Stars at the same time is not easy for a traveler like me and is something worth looking forward to." "

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Chen. This year's [Immortal Invitation Ceremony] has passed, and the person who presided over the ceremony was Master Keqing of [Yuhengxing]."

"Is that so..." Chen Tianfeng showed a proper expression of regret, and then asked curiously: "Then who will host next year's [Immortal Invitation Ceremony]? [Tianquan Star] Lord Ningguang?"

"That's right, it's [Tianquan Star]." Ye Lan raised her eyebrows: "I didn't expect that Brother Chen also knew about Lord Ningguang."

"The power of heaven condenses, and the richest party. Who doesn't know who doesn't know who doesn't know."

Chen Tianfeng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I heard about Lady Ningguang's reputation when I was in Mondstadt a few years ago. She built such an amazing thing as Qunyu Pavilion. Tsk, it took me a long time to talk about it. I haven’t gone back to Mondstadt for a visit. How much do brothers Lanyou know about Mondstadt’s current situation?”

"I don't know anything about it." Ye Lan shook her head, her eyes sincere: "For a small businessman like me who only works in Liyue, unless something big happens in Mondstadt, there is very little news for me to hear."

"It's a big deal..."

Chen Tianfeng's expression didn't look like he was faking it, and he said with emotion: "That's right, for ordinary people like us, who are safe and peaceful and don't have any big news, maybe that's the good news."

Very good, the time point is basically confirmed, and the dragon disaster in Mondstadt has not broken out.

The traveler may still be sleeping somewhere unknown, and the plot has not officially begun.
