The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 150: Earth Vein Projection
Lugo was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it. He glanced at the dumb boy who was also stunned, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what do you want him to do?"

"Brother, you may not know that thieves in the same place often know each other. As long as we catch one, we will have clues for the rest." Chen Tianfeng said seriously.

"That's it..."

Lugo thought for a moment, then looked at the black crystal horn in his hand. He struggled for a moment, then suppressed his greed, held it and handed it to Chen Tianfeng, smiling: "This little mute has nothing to do with me. Brother, just do whatever you want. I really don't deserve this."

"You are so polite, brother. Just accept it."

The two of them refused for a few words, and seeing that Chen Tianfeng really didn't care about the black crystal horn, Lu Ge put it in his pocket with confidence.

That’s right, the person in front of him has the Eye of God and seems to be quite powerful, so this kind of thing may not be worth mentioning to him.

Lugo smiled warmly, continued chatting with Chen Tianfeng for a few words, then said goodbye and left.

When they said goodbye, they naturally exchanged some "how are you, brother" with familiar tones and warm smiles - even though the two of them didn't even know each other's names.

"This is such a big trouble..."

Chen Tianfeng watched the three people leave, smacked his lips, and looked at Ye Lan: "This is different from what we agreed. I want to take this opportunity to raise the price."

"It's really a big trouble, but fortunately, there's still time."

Ye Lan frowned slightly, then relaxed her eyebrows, raised her eyes and looked at Chen Tianfeng, smiling: "As for the price increase, Brother Chen, you can ask for it. As long as it is what I can give, I will definitely not let you down."

"Forget it, we are friends, it's not good to take the opportunity to raise the price."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head, indicating that he was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others' misfortune. Ye Lan just made a small "tsk~" sound.

Chen Tianfeng pretended not to hear and walked to the side of the mute boy. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the mute boy who was at a loss and a little worried and nervous: "Can you still stand up?"

"Well……"

The mute boy struggled to get up, enduring the pain, and first bowed to Chen Tianfeng. Then he looked anxious, and waved his hands rapidly, as if he wanted to explain something.

Qian San looked at the mute boy's sign language, smiled confidently, and felt that it was time for him to show off.

He also knows a little bit of sign language!

Just as he was about to translate, he saw Chen Tianfeng showing a rare gentle smile and nodded gently: "I know, I know, you are not a thief, and you did not steal that person's things."

Ok?
Qian San was stunned for a moment. Oh no, how come Brother Chen also understands sign language?

How can he perform well? How can he improve?

The mute boy was obviously relieved, and then seemed to have thought of something. His gestures changed, and he looked at Chen Tianfeng with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

Chen Tianfeng smiled and said soothingly, then turned to look at Qian San with a natural expression: "Brother Qian San, what is this little brother talking about?"

"……what?"

"Huh? Brother Qian doesn't understand sign language?"

Then why were you smiling so confidently just now?
Chen Tianfeng looked puzzled.

"……Understand."

I thought you understood it too... So you don't understand... Qian San muttered to himself, looked at the mute boy, and asked him to "say" it again in a gentle voice. He translated: "He said those people just now were from the treasure-stealing group, and his friends were also captured. He hopes we can help him rescue his friends."

Hmm? Treasure thieves?
Qian San was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Just as he was about to speak, he paused, rolled his eyes, and thought carefully before he spoke: "Brother Chen is really amazing. He could tell at a glance that those three people were from the treasure-stealing group. Oh, I just realized it now. I'm really no match for Brother Chen."

When he said this, he casually said, "Especially the cooperation between Brother Chen and the boss, they really have a tacit understanding and are in tune with each other!"

Chen Tianfeng twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes were indescribable: "Brother Qian San, if you don't know how to praise others, you don't have to praise them." Qian San didn't care, especially when he noticed the smile on Boss Ye Lan's mouth, he felt more at ease.

Chen Tianfeng didn't bother to pay attention to him. He looked at the mute boy, sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, we are here to deal with this matter. Do you want to follow us?"

The mute boy looked at him, thought for a few seconds, and nodded vigorously.

"Well, let's go then."

Chen Tianfeng nodded, without any intention of supporting or waiting, and walked side by side with Ye Lan along the street towards somewhere in Mingyun Town.

Well, it seems that it is up to me... Qian San looked at the two people walking side by side, then looked at the mute boy, and stretched out his hand: "Can you still walk? Don't be stubborn. If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest on the horse's back."

"Ah..."

The mute boy opened his mouth, smiled, said "thank you" in sign language, then rejected Qian San's kindness and limped behind Chen Tianfeng.

"I told you not to show off..."

Qian San suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the mute boy whose injuries had mostly healed after just two or three steps and whose walking posture became smoother, his eyes full of astonishment.

Is it...

Qian San thought of something, his eyes flickered, he took a breath, said nothing more, led the horse, and followed the three people.

The group passed through most of Mingyun Town and finally stopped in front of a slightly old residential courtyard somewhere on the east side of the town.

Qian San stepped forward and knocked on the door, then exchanged a few secret codes with the person inside through the door.

"Squeak-"

The door opened and someone stood aside, bowing respectfully to Ye Lan.

Ye Lan nodded slightly, said nothing, and walked straight into the courtyard.

Chen Tianfeng fell behind half a step and followed Ye Lan. Then he remembered something and looked at Qian San: "Brother Qian San, please take this little brother to eat something and arrange a place for him to rest."

"Eat something?"

"Yeah, normal food is fine."

"……I see."

Qian San nodded and looked at the mute boy, "Come with me."

The mute boy seemed not to hear and stared at Chen Tianfeng intently.

Chen Tianfeng looked at him and said softly, "Eat something and get enough rest. I will take you with me when we leave. Don't worry."

The mute boy looked at him, nodded, and followed Qian San away.

"Let's go, Brother Chen."

"Ah."

Chen Tianfeng retracted his gaze and followed Ye Lan, crossed the front yard, turned a few corners, and entered a spacious and bright room.

There are no superfluous decorations in the room. The most eye-catching thing is the map hanging on the wall. All the large and small, abandoned and non-abandoned mining tunnels in Mingyun Town are clearly marked on the map and can be seen at a glance.

Ye Lan tilted his head back and stared at the map for a long time. Suddenly, he sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his temple, and asked in confusion, "What on earth did those treasure-stealing groups do?"

There was actually something wrong with the geomantic veins in Mingyun Town!
Whether it is the three treasure-stealing groups or the mute boy, they are all similar to the projection of the earth veins!
