In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

The old man remembered, and introduced himself: "I forgot to report my family name, I am Kazumi Saimon, and this is my wife, Eri Caimon."

Because it was too enthusiastic, it seemed like a relative, so Xia Tian also forgot, and hurriedly replied: "My name is Xia Tian, ​​and I am an adventurer from Liyue."

"Liyue! That's a good and enlightened place." The old man sighed.

I don't know if it is open or not, but it is indeed a good place.

Xia Tian asked in detail: "Can you please continue to talk about Erlang? I might be able to help."

Surprise in the old man's eyes: "Really? It's really embarrassing to ask outsiders to help find my kid who hasn't heard from me."

"Don't be hypocritical!" The old woman was more straightforward, and when she heard that someone was willing to help, she said gratefully: "Young man, if there is any news about Erlang, no matter whether the boy is alive or has... well, I hope you can tell the truth." Tell me, tell us a promise."

"Well... then where can I find out about it?" After all, Xia Tian is a stranger, not a local snake.

The old woman said: "If you can enter and leave the barracks... please ask the boy's comrades in arms. There should be news. I was going to Daozuma City, so I just quarreled with the old man..."

"Didn't you say to go to the Coral Palace?" The old man rushed to ask, just now the old woman said to go to the Coral Palace, so the two had a quarrel.

The old woman choked with anger: "That's to anger you! It's been decades, and you've never heard what I mean..."

"You don't understand clearly, how can you understand..."

"Okay, okay, noisy again! Don't be afraid of outsiders' jokes!"

In front of outsiders, the two old people did not further escalate the quarrel, and finally turned their heads away in dislike of each other.

"Hehe, the relationship between the two of you is really good!"

This kind of noise reminded Xia Tian of the quarrel with Mona, and it was the same...it will be reconciled soon, so don't worry.

"I'm full, thank you for the hospitality... Then, I'll go first."

Without the assistance of a horse, relying on two feet, there is still a day or two away from Dao Wife, Xia Tian thought about leaving as soon as possible.

"Well, have a good trip...By the way, you can pick some of the fruits and vegetables around my house before you leave! Anyway, we are older, and we can't finish them."

For the kindness of the two old people, Xia Tian did not refuse. It is always good to bring some food when traveling outside, so as not to faint from hunger on the way.

But it's really a bit too much, a big bag full, Xia Tian can return half of it...

After being sent off by the old couple, they walked out of the yard and heard noises coming from the intersection.

"Mr. Teshima, think again! Stay a few more days!"

"Yeah, where can you go now?"

"Futaba, Xiaomeng, they can't bear you..."

"..."

Xia Tian looked over curiously, there was a group of villagers gathered together, as if they were trying to persuade someone to stay.

"What happened?" Xia Tian asked.

The old man shook his head helplessly: "Hey! It's Teshima, he's always said to leave these two days..."

"Teshima?"

"Like you, he is also an adventurer. Since he came here 30 years ago, he has been guarding here, chasing away treasure troupes, repelling nearby monsters, and mediating quarrels in the village... He has paid for Konta Village. A lot of hard work, we also regard him as the most respected person."

"But recently, he suddenly wants to leave here..."

The old man was very reluctant to say anything, but the old woman complained a few more words: "If you want me to say, this matter may be related to the "Eye Hunting Order"!Teshima obviously did nothing wrong, but his "God's Eye" was confiscated... Then he seemed to be a different person. "

"Changed person?" Xia Tian frowned, wondering what kind of abnormality would appear after losing the God's Eye.

The old woman hesitated for a moment: "I can't say, but it feels like he has lost something important. After walking around the village for a few times by himself, he suddenly said that he was going to travel around the world... Actually, we don't know whether we should keep him , but I always felt...he couldn't be allowed to leave in such a distraught state, but after trying to persuade him a few times, he still insisted on leaving..."

Suddenly thought of something, the old man pulled Xia Tian, ​​and begged: "Young man, you are also a person who travels far, can you help persuade him, he doesn't have the eye of God now, and his mental state is not good recently, I am very worried... ..."

"Well, I'll go and have a look." Xia Tian readily agreed, before enjoying that wonderful breakfast, he should repay it as much as possible.

There were many people around the intersection, except for the old people who stayed behind, there were also a few middle-aged people who seemed to have just rushed back from Inazuma Castle. They had been taught by Mr. Teshima when they were young, and after receiving the news that Mr. Teshima wanted to leave, Also rushed back immediately to dissuade.

"What are you doing? After so many years, why do you want to leave suddenly?"

"Yeah, yeah, we didn't have any mental preparations, and we heard the news all of a sudden..."

"The children are still looking forward to you taking them out to play again... Please, please think again!"

"Could it be... Could it be that we did something wrong? If possible, we would like to apologize to Mr. Teshima, and only ask Mr. Teshima to stay here..."

"..."

The words were full of respect for Mr. Teshima.

As for Mr. Teshima, he opened his mouth several times, but failed to make a sound, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, he just looked up blankly into the distance.

If he is in such a state, if he really leaves, it will indeed make people worry, it is almost like dementia...

Facing the dissuasion of the people in the village, his determination to travel far has not faded in the slightest, but he has no strong choice to leave immediately. He was first persuaded to go back to his yard and asked to stay for a few more days.

He was sitting in the yard with a dazed look on his face. He had lived in the surroundings for decades, yet they were so strange...

When the crowd almost dispersed, Xia Tian walked over: "Hello, Mr. Teshima."

Strangers never seen before.

"you are?"

"I am an ordinary traveler. I heard that Mr. Teshima is now wanting to leave the village where he has lived for more than 30 years. I am curious about the reason, so I came to ask. Please forgive the rudeness."

Teshima shook his head, expressing that he didn't care about etiquette, and said in a dull voice: "It's not so much why I left...it's better to say that I don't know why I stay here."

Xia Tian said: "You have lived here for a long time, everyone is very dependent on you, and they all like you."

"Yeah." Teshima frowned, even he didn't understand: "But that's not the reason for me to stay."

Perhaps it was because facing strange travelers reminded him of himself when he was young, and he was willing to say a few more words to express his current mood.

"Why did I come here 30 years ago? Why didn't I want to leave here 30 years ago? I don't remember all of this..."

"Since the "God's Eye" was taken away, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. "

"I used to want to stay here, but now that this obsession is gone, I think it's good to go out for a walk... Although my heart is still empty."

Is "staying" an obsession in the past?After losing the eye of God, the obsession also disappeared?

The method is very clear, find out the reason for staying in Kontian Village before, so that the old man can be persuaded to stay.

But how can others help you remember things that you have forgotten?

"I found I found it!"

A joyful voice came from the ear. It was the young man "Mahiru" who had been taken care of by Teshima. He was one of the few young people who remained in the village and was in charge of selling some fruits.

When delivering fruit last time, I saw Mr. Teshima writing in his diary, saying that he wanted to record some interesting things so that he would not forget them.

After Mr. Teshima said that he had forgotten many things, Mahiru began to look for this diary...

Open it up.

"Today I made dry-roasted sweetfish with everyone in the village. My hands are clumsy, and I accidentally burned the pot, so I had to pretend that I made dry-roasted black fish."

"Today, I rescued a child who fell into the water in the village. He said that his good friend Bombu was still in the water. After fishing for an afternoon, he realized that Bombu was his little crab."

"I went to fly a kite today, and the thread suddenly broke. I chased and chased, but found that I couldn't catch it, so I found a place to sit and watched it drift farther and farther away."

……

From the lines, you can feel Mr. Teshima's love for Konta Village and why he is respected by everyone.

But most of them are small everyday things, which are not enough reasons to "stay in Konta Village".

turn a page.

"Today I went to pray at a nearby shrine again. I sat there for a long time, and the amulet you gave me has faded, but it is still my most precious thing..."

is useful information.

As we all know, every omamori that is given away represents a profound story. Perhaps this story is the reason why Tejima stayed in Konta Village.

Nearby shrines...

Xia Tian thought of the shrine that he visited a few times when he entered the village. At that time, there were a few things placed in front of the shrine... It seemed that he saw something similar to a guard.

Hurry over there immediately.

On the altar of the shrine, an amulet tied with a red string is lying quietly. From the color and pattern, it looks like a girl's thing. The yellowish color shows the years it has passed, and it should be in the diary. Said one.

Xia Tian stretched out his hand to pick it up, and suddenly felt that his fingers felt as if they had touched lightning, and they were tingling and numb.

Look again, at the place where Yushou was picked up, a purple thunder elemental elf appeared out of thin air, and flew towards the village in the blink of an eye.

But did not pull the distance too far, the constant flickering seemed to be calling for Xia Tian to pass.

Then, every time Xia Tian was about to get close to it, it would continue to fly forward for a certain distance, and finally landed in the backyard of Tejima's house, where it stopped in a stone slab under a big tree.

When Xia Tian approached, it disappeared.

It's hard to understand, is this thunder element spirit helping me to solve Mr. Teshima's matter?

Bow your head, the soil under the stone pedestal has signs of being passive. Could it be that Mr. Teshima buried something here, so he has been guarding it all the time?

When I dug it up, it was a letter. The letter paper was already yellowed, and it looked like it was written a long time ago.

The handwriting inside is very delicate, it is a girl's notes.

[If... we are separated in this war, we can wait for me in the village, there must be a safe home for us. 】

Therefore, Mr. Teshima waited for someone in Konta Village for 30 years.

For some reason, a sense of sadness welled up in my heart.

Going back to the yard again, looking at the lonely old man, summer is not a taste... Don't think about it, this must be an agreement that can never be waited for.

He waited for 30 years and endured the pain of not being able to wait. Maybe it is a good thing to forget?Or, just waiting, is happiness enough?

In any case, Xia Tian cannot make a decision for others.

He handed over the letter and the guard.

A hint of surprise flashed across Teshima's eyes.

"That's right, this diary is indeed my handwriting, and Yushou and Shin...should be mine too."

He bowed his head in deep thought, and after a long time, he murmured like talking to himself.

"Although I have forgotten what was written above, I should have waited for someone here for 30 years."

"During this period, I recorded interesting things every day, so that when we meet again in the future, I can tell her about the past 30 years."

"A lot of things really happened during the period... Time flies so fast, it's been so long in a blink of an eye."

"Why did I forget such an important thing? Thinking about it carefully, after the Eye of God was taken away, I felt as if I had been emptied."

"Whether it's love or regret, everything related to her has disappeared..."

With a look of loneliness on his face.

Xia Tian asked: "Are you going to be sad?"

Teshima smiled bitterly: "It seems that it's not that sad."

"After all, I have forgotten who she is. I can't remember her appearance, her voice, what she and I have experienced."

"It was as if she had never been by my side... as if all these years were but a vague dream."

Mahiru next to him hurriedly asked: "Then do you still want to leave?"

"Hey!" Teshima sighed, looking at the distant sky, without saying a word for a long time.

Then he closed his eyes and shook his head lightly: "No way...I've been waiting for most of my life, let's continue to wait!"

"It's just that if you can't even pronounce her name after waiting for her, will it make her feel sad?"

"Once I think about this, I really feel a little sad in my heart."

He obviously said something sad, but he laughed: "It's strange, I obviously don't remember her, why do I still have such thoughts? It was the same before, I always felt empty in my heart, as if something was missing..."

Opening his eyes again, he said to Xia Tian and Mahiru: "Anyway, thank you for helping me find the reason to stay here... I will continue to stay here and wait for her."

The matter should be considered resolved, simpler than expected, just took two things.

Although Mr. Teshima said he was not very sad, but for some reason, Xia Tian felt very sad...

He remembered the person who talked to Hu Tao when he was looking for Hu Tao in the place where life and death crossed Wuwangpo.
