It was late at night and people were quiet. The fools patrolling outside the house gradually stopped walking. It seemed that it was time to change their shifts.

In the autumn night, the originally deserted suburb of Qingxupu became even more lonely. Only the two teenagers inside the house looked furtively out of the window.

Thanks to the weather, the moon shuttled through the clouds tonight, and all the originally bright moonlight was blocked by the thick clouds, turning the earth into darkness.

"Hey, the people outside seem to have left."

After a long time, the footsteps outside the window no longer sounded. Xingqiu, who was shrinking on the ground, raised his head and looked at Chongyun beside him. The meaning of his words was self-evident.

"gone?"

Chongyun shook his ears. As an alchemist, his perception was stronger than Xingqiu's.

Sure enough, the footsteps that still sounded from time to time around him had disappeared, and within his range of perception, he could not even detect the sound of human breathing.

"So what now?"

Without external supervision, Chongyun's voice and movements became more relaxed.

The two of them looked at the Eye of God locked up on the beam in silence, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

"How about... I go up and try?"

After taking a few glances, Xingqiu was eager to give it a try.

But after measuring the distance in my mind, I backed down again.

There was no other way. Without the support of elemental power, he would have struggled to even touch the beams, not to mention whether he could open the seemingly solid box with his bare hands.

"Um...it seems...not good?"

Seeing the hesitant look on Xingqiu's face, Chongyun sighed.

Forget it, he had no intention of placing his hopes on his friend. What could a guy who was even thinner than him do?

"You can look out for me later."

"ah?"

Chongyun suddenly said something without any beginning or end, leaving Xingqiu stunned for a moment and confused.

But out of the instinct of trusting his friends, he still nodded and agreed.

In the blinding darkness, Chongyun touched the door and gently shook the door handle. He found that the guys had not locked the door. They were really careless.

But it is probably because of the separation of God's Eyes from humans that those fools dared to do this.

I have to say, I really got the two of them right.

"I'll give you guys a good look when I get back."

Xingqiu pressed his face firmly against the bottom of the window, leaving only the peripheral vision of his eyes to scan the surrounding environment.

While muttering, he was concerned about Chongyun's movements behind him.

I saw the young alchemist gently pushing open the door in front of him and biting his middle finger with his teeth, causing blood to flow freely.

With the blood flowing out, Chongyun drew a formation with complicated patterns on the ground. At the same time, he took out a shiny mola from his trouser pocket and placed it in the center as the formation eye.

When the blood connected the last formation pattern along the formation diagram, an inexplicable wave shook in the middle of the house, causing Xingqiu by the window to turn back curiously to see what Chongyun was doing.

Be calm and focused.

Chongyun felt the fluctuations in the surrounding liquid. In the deserted wilderness, the feeling of autumn wind blowing through the green grass was so obvious.

In the silence, a faint sound reached his ears.

Close!

Suddenly, a small earthen bag bulged on the ground outside the door, and a mouse-like creature emerged from it. Not afraid of the heavy clouds in front of it, it rushed directly into the formation in the house and smashed that one.

Mora, stained with the boy's blood, was placed in the bag carried behind her.

After completing this series, the little guy tilted his head and stood motionless, as if waiting for a signal from the person in front of him.

"Is this... a treasure thief?"

That little weasel-like creature is the famous gold picker in Liyue. If you drop a scattered mola in the wild, don't even think about getting it back, because you will definitely be picked up by this little guy who is everywhere in the mountains and plains.

He put it in his pocket and ran away without even saying hello.

Looking at the treasure-stealing ferret in front of him, Xingqiu was slightly surprised.

He had thought that his friend as an alchemist might have some good ideas, but he did not expect that today's alchemists could directly communicate with wild creatures and even control them.

This is truly a miraculous skill.

"It's nothing, just a little trick."

Chongyun said casually, but in fact this was the first time he had used this method to recruit helpers, and he was still worried before he saw the treasure-stealing ferret.

"Then what? This little thing can't talk, right? We don't have any paper or pen with us, so we can't send messages to the outside world."

Perhaps it was the word "little thing" in Xingqiu's dialect that made Treasure Thief Weasel feel dissatisfied. The little guy kicked on the ground and scattered ashes all over the ground.

"Oh, don't worry, I have my own means."

Seeing the treasure-stealing ferret who was unwilling to cooperate, Chongyun tried to comfort him for a while, and then he made the little guy become obedient again and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

The young man imitated the formation pattern he had drawn on the ground before and drew a simplified version of the magic circle on the little guy's back. Chongyun didn't stop until the formation pattern lit up slightly.

"As long as this little guy follows the path I gave it, this array pattern will definitely be sensed by the adults in my family. At that time, they will use the reversal array to track the treasure thief's whereabouts and chase it directly here."

"I see."

Hearing this, Xingqiu nodded as if he understood.

Compared with the pile of exorcism spells from the Alchemist family, he suddenly felt that the moves of the Guhua sect were not that difficult to understand.

"Walk."

After letting the little guy out of the room, within a few breaths the treasure-thief got into a small dirt bag and disappeared.

Before the fools came to inspect, Chongyun quickly retreated inside the door and waited for good news.

At night in Liyue Port, Bai Qiyun returned to the guest room of his restaurant to rest after a long absence.

When they returned to the room, Ying and Paimon hesitantly handed him a postcard. They didn't know what those two guys were doing. Is there something that they couldn't talk to directly?

The young man shook his head, sat in front of the desk, lit the lamp, and looked through the cards in his hand under the dim light.

The material of the card was hard, unlike the paper produced locally in Liyue, and the back had various patterns that he had never seen before.

However, the focus of this thing is the text content. Bai Qiyun simply turned over the postcard and began to read it carefully.

At the beginning, some beautiful fonts are written on the card surface. It seems that a long time has passed since the handwriting, and there are even slight yellowing marks on the corners.

'My son opens it personally.'

...

A silence spread in the room. The moment the four big characters on the top came into view, the boy's hand holding the piece of paper trembled a little.

Although it has been missing for some time, there is no doubt that this is... my mother's handwriting.

I don’t know where Ying found this postcard, but Bai Qiyun had no intention of asking at this time and just wanted to read it quickly. If you like Genshin Impact, Spear Still, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, Spear Still Search
