Chapter 6 Night in Liyue Port
"Squeak~"
The ajar wooden door was pushed open again, and Wu Yong came back.
Wu Ye ran out after hearing the sound, and helped Wu Yong into the yard with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, you're back. Watch your steps."
Wu Ye never uses the honorific title when he calls his grandfather, because they are a family.
"Hey, Xiaoye, you are finally back. I just had a chat with your father and mother. If you have time, you should go pay homage and chat with them."
"Okay, I will!"
"Come closer and let me take a look, ouch!"
"I've lost so much weight after going out these days. It's not safe outside. Don't go out anymore! Grandpa, I can still write, but if I can't, I'll find someone to help you find a lighter job."
Wu Yong held Wu Ye's face and looked closer, speaking seriously.
"Okay, grandpa, I understand. Don't worry, old man, I have gathered enough materials. I will stay at home recently and you can start writing tonight."
"Okay, okay, I still have some rice at home. Oh, and there is some bacon hanging in the corner of the yard. There is no need to dry it anymore. I'll cook it together. You can rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Wu Yong patted Wu Ye's hand and told him to rest. Wu Ye didn't want to disobey, so he had no choice but to nod and go back to the room.
It was night, after Wu Ye had dinner, he walked into the depths of the peach forest by the starlight, leaned under the two large peach trees, and talked to himself about his experiences during the past few days.
After a long time, the wind picked up, and Wu Ye knew that this meant urging him to go back. Finally, Wu Ye knelt down and bowed three times to the peach tree to express his longing and gratitude, then got up and left.
Yes, no matter in the previous life or in this life, his parents cared about him, and Wu Ye did not dare to let them down and couldn't bear to let them down.
For them and for himself, he must move forward bravely, even if he doesn't know where he will end up.
......
Wu Ye did not return to the courtyard immediately, but walked out of Peach Blossom Alley. Because he was thinking about one thing, he walked around and climbed to the Yujing Terrace.
The Yujing Terrace is located in the center of Liyue Port. It is very high. It is the office of the heads of the Seven Stars and various chambers of commerce, and it is also the place where the annual invitation ceremony is held.
Wu Ye came to the stone platform next to the invitation platform, then leaned on the ancient wooden railing and looked at the surrounding scenery.
Liyue Port is indeed the most prosperous and populous city, with rows of buildings and bright lights. Hundreds of houses are like chess boards, and the twelve streets are like vegetable beds. If the night is a curtain, falling over Liyue Port, then thousands of houses The lights are enough to tear open the curtain, revealing the nighttime streets of Liyue Port, which are as bright as daytime.
(The game description is like this, and I follow suit. Of course, there must be some discrepancies. After all, Teyvat where Wu Ye lives is a thousand times larger than in the game)
Standing here, Wu Ye could see two buildings facing each other in the distance to the north, namely Crescent Pavilion and Liuli Pavilion.
They are indeed the two most famous hotels in Liyue Port. Both of them are ten feet high. Under the light of the lights, you can clearly see that the roof of Xinyuexuan is vermilion, while the roof of Liuli Pavilion is turquoise.
The taller building closer is the Northland Bank, which has branches in every country in Teyvat. I heard that the Northland Bank is controlled by Foolish Executives from the Winter Country.
And the last executive officer of the Fools - "The Young Master" Dadalia will arrive in Liyue Port to manage the bank in the near future. It is estimated that new disputes will follow in Liyue Port by then.
"Forget it, what does it have to do with me?"
Wu Ye shook his head and chuckled. Instead of thinking about these things that had nothing to do with him, it would be better to think about how to write a novel.
Yes, he is struggling with how to give himself a suitable pen name. This pen name needs to be close to the theme of the novel, but also needs to make people seem to be secretive.
Well, it's the kind specially made for cups.
It was late at night, "Dudu", Wu Ye, who was thinking hard, tapped his finger on the railing. Most people had gone to sleep. Some lights in Liyue Port dimmed, while others continued to stay bright.
"There are times when the light is bright and there are times when it is dim. Well, life is like a light that flickers on and off without regularity. It cannot be changed and there is nothing to do. Just like the protagonist in my novel, it seems to be the same as myself."
"There are lights everywhere, light and dark without any interference, let's call it Wuzui!"
Wu Ye made the decision in one thought. Now he had a pen name. The trip was worthwhile and he returned home happily.
Wu Ye returned to the yard and found that the lights in the small wooden house in the yard were still on. Grandpa Wu Yong had not yet fallen asleep. Wu Yong heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open in the room and shouted,
"Xiao Ye?"
"It's me. Grandpa, go to bed early."
"Okay, come back early next time and close the door."
After speaking, the lights in Grandpa Wu Yong's room were extinguished, and Wu Ye closed the door and went to sleep.
