Chapter 1045 Going to work
Afterwards, under Ying's constant nagging, Shen He had no choice but to pick up the remaining clothes and try them on one by one.
Just as Qianzhi said, although the styles look similar, the details are ingenious in each of them, and there is really no sense of repetition when they are worn.
By the time he tried the seventh set, Shen He's forehead was already sweating slightly, and his silver hair was sticking to his cheeks, but he still patiently turned around to let everyone see the effect.
After trying on all the clothes, Shen He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed back into the set of clothes her master had left for her that she usually wore.
"it is finally over……"
She spoke softly, her eyes immediately drifting towards Xi in Shao Yun's arms.
Shen He walked over quickly and carefully took the child from Shao Yun's arms, his movements as gentle as if he was holding fragile glass.
Xi seemed to sense a familiar scent and rubbed his little head against her neck.
Shao Yun saw that Shen He had tried on all the clothes, so he asked Xiang Ying, "Now that we have the clothes, is there anything else we need to do?"
Ying looked at Shen He holding the child on the left, then looked at Qian Zhi who was napping on the table on the right, then turned to ask Paimeng who was floating in the air: "Is there anything else you want to do in Fontaine?"
Paimon shook his head: "It seems there is nothing else..."
Shen He shook his head gently: "I don't have anything to do."
Sora leaned against the door, looking out the window at the sails of the Fontaine, and whispered, "Since nothing else is happening, we can indeed leave."
Seeing what was going on, Shao Yun struck while the iron was hot and said, "Well, let's prepare to leave Fontaine and go to Nata in the afternoon."
"So early?"
Paimon suddenly raised his voice, which felt so abrupt!
"I thought I could stay in Fontaine for a few more days!"
Shao Yun shrugged and analyzed, "The main reason is that we have nothing to do in Fontaine."
Then, Shao Yun touched Paimeng's head again and said, "Besides, if we go to Nata earlier, Paimeng can eat Nata delicacies earlier. Don't you want that?"
When Paimon heard the words "Nata Cuisine", he drooled with joy and reacted.
"Nata's delicacies? Is it the sizzling barbecue? And the sweet and bitter water you mentioned?"
But she quickly calmed down, holding her chin with her hands and thinking for a moment. Although she could hardly hold back her saliva, she still said seriously: "Well, okay, but we have to say goodbye to everyone in Fontaine first."
Shao Yun looked at her serious expression and couldn't help laughing.
"No problem, it's only natural to say goodbye. Since Mondstadt, hasn't this been our custom every time we leave a country? It's an old tradition."
Ying also nodded, crossed her arms and said, "Paimon is right. We've made a lot of friends in Fontaine. It's only proper to say hello before leaving."
"I also wanted to say thank you to Sigwen. She was so attentive when she examined Xi last time."
Shen He lowered his head and rubbed his goddaughter's soft hair, and agreed softly: "Yeah, it should be."
……
When we left Qianzhi's house, the sunlight from Fontaine was shining obliquely on the cobblestone road.
Although we are saying goodbye, please pack your personal belongings before doing other things.
Shao Yun was just about to tell Ying that he had to go back to his residence to pack his luggage when Kong suddenly came up to him and lowered his voice.
"Um, brother-in-law, I have something to attend to and have to excuse myself for a moment. How about we meet up again when you get to Aru Village?"
Shao Yun paused and turned his head to look at the sky.
When he heard that his brother-in-law had work to do, he subconsciously thought of the work of the Abyss Cult.
I vaguely remember that the abyss seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the sky. From that time on, Kong seemed to be depressed, as if he was hiding something in his heart.
"Is there any work for the Abyss Cult that needs to be done?" Shao Yun asked, following his train of thought.
Sora nodded, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, his tone unusually serious.
"Yes, it's about our true freedom."
He paused, then suddenly looked up at Shao Yun and reminded him seriously, "One more thing. You can rest for a while, but there are some things you will have to face sooner or later."
Shao Yun's mind was as clear as a mirror. Kong Zhi simply wanted to take Ying to find the last bit of ice elemental power.
But he smacked his lips, feeling that this matter could not be rushed.
Not to mention that he also has a wish for the Fatui leader named "Pierro". If the situation really becomes desperate, the worst that can happen is that he can sneak across to the winter, touch the ice statue and run away. Who can be troubled by that?
He looked at Kong's tense profile and couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
"We'll talk about these big principles later. Do you need any help?"
There is no need to rush to send a message to Fengshen now. It is a family matter after all, so I will help in any way I can.
Kong shook his head. His matter wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either. There was really no need to drag Shao Yun into this mess.
"No, you only have one job right now. Help my sister clean up the house first. We can discuss other matters when we meet again."
Shao Yun saw that he didn't seem to be being polite, so he stopped insisting and just shrugged: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But remember to tell Ying."
……
Afterwards, Kong went to find Ying and told her that he had something to deal with and needed to leave for a while.
However, Kong promised that he would catch up with Shao Yun and his group when they arrived at Aru Village.
Although Ying was reluctant to leave, she took into account the fact that her brother had been with her for a long time, her brother's status, and what he said about her future...
In the end, Ying agreed to her brother's request, but she asked him to meet her in Aru Village before letting him go.
……
Hailu Port in the afternoon.
The salty and humid sea breeze blew in my face, and the sea level in the distance was shimmering with waves like broken gold.
Shao Yun and his group were standing on the dock, where the crane was making a slight "clang" sound as it transported the goods up.
Paimon turned around and looked at the waterfall slanting down. She touched her chest and sighed.
"I didn't expect to leave so soon and go to Nata... Time flies."
Shao Yun looked at the endless sea and went over the route again in his mind.
"Well, we'll take a speedboat to Baida Port first. Once we get to Xumi, we'll go to Aru Village and wait for Kong. After we meet up, we'll cross the desert and reach the border of Nata."
He turned his head to look at everyone, his eyes sweeping over Shen He who was holding Xi, Ying, Paimon, and Kavi.
"Is there any problem now? Once we get on the boat, it will be difficult to go back and get our things."
Shen He looked down at the baby in his arms, his little hands grabbing at the air.
"I have everything here. Xi's diapers and milk powder are ready." Shen He said.
Ying was looking down and flipping through a light blue booklet with a cute baby picture on the cover. It was a parenting guide that Sigwen had specially given her.
There were also a few notes filled with small words in the interleaf, which were also some "happiness" tips between husband and wife that Sigwen secretly gave her.
Hearing Shao Yun's words, she raised her head and responded: "Don't worry, I checked it three times."
Kavi was squatting on the ground, turning his briefcase "Mehrak" upside down, and the metal parts collided with each other making a small sound.
"Let me see... the gift Mom gave me, the ranch design, the contact information for the Fontaine supplier..."
He counted them one by one, and finally stood up, dusted himself off, and nodded vigorously to Shao Yun.
"Well, no more, no less! I've returned all the pencils I borrowed from the Thorn Rose Club."
At this time, the roar of a motor came from the distance, and a silver-gray speedboat was breaking through the waves and heading towards the dock.
Paimon's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the speedboat and shouted, "Here it comes!"
Shao Yun took a last look in the direction of Fengdan.
"Let's go," he reached out and took Ying's hand, "I hope you will like Nata's sun."
Shen He followed with the child in his arms, Kavi followed quickly behind with his briefcase, and Paimon took the lead in rushing towards the speedboat that was about to dock, her excited shouts carried in the wind.
"Nata's food, here I come!"
……
Four days later, after a long journey, Shao Yun and his family passed through the rainforest area of Xumi and arrived at the Xumi desert area.
Fortunately, because the problem of the World Tree has been solved, the sandstorm phenomenon in the Sumeru Desert has also been alleviated a lot.
In the desert area, apart from the large temperature difference between morning and evening, there is nothing else that makes people feel uncomfortable... Of course, the dry air is also a relatively uncomfortable factor.
Fortunately, Shao Yun and his group arrived at Aru Village in the evening.
The desert is cool in the evening.
Although the air is still very dry, the closer you get to Aru Village, the more humid it becomes. After all, Aru Village is built on an oasis...
The grass and trees at the edge of the oasis stretched out their leaves, and several tall date palm trees hung down heavy fruits. In the distance, the earth-yellow houses were covered with round domes, and smoke was rising from the chimneys.
The most eye-catching thing is the iconic big stone at the entrance of the village. Candice is sitting on it, carefully wiping her weapon.
Candice's daily life is to go around Aru Village and fulfill her guardian duties.
Ever since Jade joined the Aru Village family, Candice's patrol tasks have been reduced a lot.
Jade cherishes her life in Aru Village very much. After all, this was arranged for her by her beloved "Ying"!
Suddenly, Candice caught a glimpse of a moving figure in the distance. She looked up and saw Shao Yun and his group walking slowly towards her on the soft sand.
Ying and Paimon walked in front, Kavi followed behind, and a woman with silver hair and a white dress holding a swaddling baby followed behind.
Shao Yun was responsible for guarding the rear of the team.
Candice was not surprised by the appearance of Ying and Paimon. After all, her good friend "Dixia" had already told her that Shao Yun had rescued the two girls.
"Oh? Ying, Paimeng, Shao Yun, Kawei, and... this accompanying companion, hello?"
She raised her chin towards Shen He. After all, it was a face she had never seen before, so she called him a traveling companion.
Paimon floated in front of her and greeted her, "Candice! Long time no see! How's Aru Village doing lately?"
Candice was amused by her energy. She put one hand on her hip and replied, "It's good. Everything in Aru Village is still so peaceful and quiet."
Shao Yun took off his hat and said to Candice, "Excuse me, Miss Candice. We would like to stay in the village for one night. Is there any room available?"
Candice jumped down lightly from the big rock she was sitting on and raised her chin towards the village: "Of course."
Then, she spun the Red Sand Staff in her hand and carried it steadily on her shoulder: "Come with me, we'll just be in time for dinner. Let's go to the village chief's house and have something to eat."
